Final version actually looks a little bit better in some ways. I would say it did. Lots of things changed though thats for sure.

Definitely not, it has better animations and effects than the video, but the framerate isn't that smooth, nor are the graphics that clean.

In some ways Killzone 2 looks better, in some ways the trailer looks better. Overall, I like Killzone 2 more.

Mostly I am surprised how much Killzone changed artistically.

actually yes, that trailer isn't too impressive really. Killzone 2 looks quite a bit better than that.

the most noticable imrpovement from that trailer to killzone 2 are the animations.

EDIT: in fact the trailer kinda looks like a mix of killzone 1 and 2 graphically.

At the time, the trailer made everything on X360 and PC look last gen. Yea that trailer did look unbelievably good in 2005.

Your kidding. Killzone 3 is console graphics king and only a few games can match or exceed it in graphics, only on PC.

Trailer's animation and clean detail has not been matched. Chaos and surreal sense of war? Yes. And I love Killzone.

killzone 2 looks much better than the trailer. killzone 3 looks Much, much better than this trailer.

Not really. The physics, the particle effects, the animation, the detail. I'd say it made it as far as it being a target render goes. It has a much more lively lighting system. It didn't rawly "surpass" it

If you feel that it doesn't surpass the trailer then more power to you.....just a shame that the majority doesn't feel the same way

KZ 2 lived up to the hype of that trailer imo. Honestly it wasnt the graphics that really had me but the action and intensity of the fire fights. Storming Visari's palace after the city was nuked was awesome for me.

Maybe you're the only one with cataracts in his eyes. I definitely think it surpassed it. Artistically that trailer has more in common with the first Killzone than Killzone 2.

I haven't played KZ1, have played KZ2 and while it looks very, very good, it doesn't match the CGI from the infamous trailer. Only cows believe it surpassed it

Checked your Gamespot reviews.... Halo3- 10, Halo Reach- 10, Uncharted 2 Among Thieves- 7 Yeah, i'm sure you aren't biased. Anyway, opinions are opinions. Most people would disagree with you, but if it makes you fell better, believe what you want.

while KZ2 looks really good, its no where near the 05 trailer... lighting is different, a hell of alot going on, particle effects and animations are on a whole nother level. im sorry but to who ever thinks it matched it you need some new eyes

not even crysis has matched it, lots of delusional people here, i think some of you guys are confusing the 07 trailer with the 05 :|

I personally believe Killzone 2 did more than this. The Corinth River mission in that game was a lot more crazier than the trailer above.

Yes, in fact that was one of the points most reviews were highlighting at the time, that the visuals matched, for the most part, the infamous target render for 2005.

I think the graphics matched up better than how Motorstorm's trailer matched up to the in game graphics, but I liked Motorstorm, I liked Killzone 2 as well but it wasn't as fun as I expected, graphics are great but gameplay design needs a major improvement.
