Ok, first of all I approve of this preview. It is quite fair, and brings up good points. I am a little surprised, however as I just read in my new issue of GI that from their time hands on, that the AI is excellent...
Now, what is interesting to me is that NOBODY seems to have noticed that in the original CG trailer, although the graphics were unachievably amazing, what was depicted as enemy AI was DUMB AS BRICKS. It was in fact the friendly ai that was mind-blowing: Injured...
These look really, great. It is good to see how several of these shots show daytime lighting! Are the weapon renders actual in-game models?? WOW.
Hey, did anyone notice how the audio cuts out just as he begins to talk about various improvements to the level..I noticed the last thing audible is "a lot more polish needs to get added to these tex.." Good news! texture upres polish confirmed!!
Oh, thanks. I didn't know! You got links?
That seems quite far--I also think they have RFOM influence what with destructable cover and a bit run and gun due to that as well--its really a hybrid of GeOW and RFOM..coupled with way more post-processing movie like effects than either!
Hey guys, I was on B3D forums and found this: I think its the most convincing CG to Realtime KZ2 comparison. (I KNOW that when we all compared Motorstorm pre-renders with in-game we were like uhh, no way, not quite there and of course KZ2 will look nothing like the pre-render) if only we could go back now with this evidence..check out these two screens. One from LGC the other from E3 2005.
Never before, have I seen something this close...It makes me think that perhaps not only...

This is really good. "The visuals inside the mirors still need to be improved" It is calming to hear the developer make these kinds of comments. It means they WILL be fixed!
Am I missing something..Isn't this the first time the PS3 is finally outselling the PS2 in Japan?? This is good news, more people are actually upgrading rather than buying the old machine!!!
Thank you Raptors, good call. I cannot agree more. Both games are shaping up really fantastic, and I look forwards to both...what a concept huh, but I guess fanboys will never learn!!
Dude, you had to bring up KZ2...Both games look really, really good, but are in totally different veins. I can't believe this article is only 130+ degrees. I DL all the vids from gamersyde and damn, all I got to say is must watch these in HD nothin less gives any sort of justice! The movie playback/ saved films function is phenomenal and shows the amazing degree to which Bungie is doing the details..I mean he panned the camera everywhere and especially in the replays part two vid, it shows...
I agree with Dr. Pirate. Just because these guys think the game is shallow doesn't mean a thing....And seriously, given all the stuff I have seen of this game I am pretty sure it will be fantastic!
Just watching the nav map on board the Normandy shows how crazy in depth this game goes. The branching of the conversation system is extremely promising for potential replay value and of course, no one in their right mind can fault the visuals.
I bet the majority of ...
I know you guys are joking around, but you do realize that the robot is the same vehicle seen at the end of the E3 05' video--it even has about the same audio!!
I have totally noticed all of the new footage of KZ2 looks a little cleaner and lighting is somehow turned up a bit. I think it looks great. I really like how they fixed the end. It is much more smooth and flowing now. I do agree that some textures could look better and the fire effects/ smoke trails would be Way more impactful if they were closer to the target render..Other than that, great job Guerrilla!
Thanx Maddens. I thought the comparo was in order as when I posted the original E3 ending everyone was b*tchin' about how lame it was to to hit a button and shoot a bunch of times to destroy a stationary target..It would seem that Guerrilla took that to heart..quickly!!
And just the little bit of tweaking (i.e. Helghast actually attack and the lighting seems to have been brightened a bit) makes a HUGE difference in how good this section looks now. Much more fluid! Agree, disagree?
I know "Idon'tcare" I feel that sometimes, he just comes up with such random terribly flawed logic that someone needs to say something. Often it is unfortunately a Sony fanboy who just spouts things back that often also contain really flawed and or, no logic. I felt that this time, someone needed to properly call him on his latest round of PS3-bashing nonsense.
Seriously, what is he going to say if (when) the Ps3 base matches the 360 base. I do believe it will hap...
Mart, your "Prophecizing" is becoming a bit laughable. based on TWO reviews, you say Lair will suck. You single out the 8 amidst what is it, 3 published reviews so far for HS the others being a 9 and a 10 and automatically assume that all subsequent HS reviews will amount only to 8 as well, yeah, that is brilliant logic right there.
You totally discount Uncharted because it is "unproven". ND are one of the most respected and talented developers in the ind...
Ok, point taken. However, aside from Gears (which now will be on PC with extra content) there are really not that many other EXCLUSIVE great 360 titles, IN SPITE of a 1 year head start. Yes, there is GRAW, Forza 2 DOA4, DR1, Lost Planet, Oblivion and a few others..but The PS3 has Motorstorm, Resistance and Oblivion (better version) and within a few short weeks will be catching up numbers-wise to the previous quality 360 titles. Remember numbers-wise there really are fewer Exclusive 360 ga...
If anything can sell PSP's this game can. All previews have been positive. This just may be THE killer app to drive PSP sales through the roof. I know back before Advent Children was even out and this was announced for PSP I was pissed off, as I didn't want to have to purchase am expensive handheld just to play it. Now however that it is two+ years later, this game just may convince me to buy a PSP!! Once this comes out, I can't help but wonder if the long awaited FF7 remake for PS3 will...
