K2 has 2 killer features!

• Deferred layered rendering - rendering in layers has always been big in CGI, being able to render bump, specular, shadows etc...as separate passes. Layers are assigned to be handled by multiple SPE's inside the CELL.

• Motion blur - full motion blur! the anti aliasing killer! the 1st console* game to feature this (PC Crysis)

These 2 things will define the new standard for all real time game engines, might sound boring but running the game engine mainly through the CELL frees up memory in the RSX (graphics shipset) to hardware render sprite particle effects, probably why the explosions look so lush, particle speed is a little slow compared to the target render from E306 but still!

I cannot wait for this showcase of how a modern true next gen engine should operate, pisses on the unreal engine from a height of a tree. x

I really liked the first game.

1st Person Cover sounds awesome.

This game will be

EPIC

Motion blur...isn't that on TF2 on the consoles?
And it's hardly better than AA.

Also, motion blur, I recall, was in MGS4.

But motion blur is still cool. Put too much, however, it just becomes bad. Crysis sort of overdid the motion blur thing (on Very High at least).

Maybe... but I've just watched some vids on KZ2, and it seems that it DOES have motion blur, both from the character, from explosions, etc.

It also has interesting depth-of-view.

Good....Now how about that innovative gameplay everyone's trying to avoid. ;)Symphonycometh

Innovative gameplay? There's nothing really innovative about Halo, and there are tons of people who think that's the greatest game ever. Just give us nice steady controls, a great looking game, and some decent multiplayer modes, and that usually satisfies most. Don't ruin what could be good by trying to be too innovative(cue Wii appearance here).
