Add as many 'pres' as you want but in the end it's still going to be pre-alpha

Well, technically it is. You don't know that outside of what we've seen its running like crap and needs work. Pre-alpha doesn't mean it gonna look ten times better by launch.

Pre-alpha means that the code isn't even complete in the first place or that they haven't truely build any software yet, as all developers know, the stage before alpha is pseudo.

Syaing its Pre alpha is an outright lie as the Alpha build of a game is the first that is *Barley* playable.

Sony hype machine at it again.

Sad that what he said is true? And yes there is a such thing as pre-alpha. Evryone tries to act like they know what they are talking about here (I don't know a whole lot, but I know for a fact that there is a such thing as pre=alpha, don't know about pre-pre alpha).

No it really is, they said so. They still have a year to polish it up, its not been tested or anything.

The "Pre-Pre- Alpha" statment is another reason why I have been saying it doesnt matter what stage they say it in since it doesnt truely give you a realistic idea of how far they are in development. The Generic would go Pre-alpha, Alpha, beta, Gold. If by the regular standards you basicly would only be seeing concept art and basicly hearing them talk about ideas that they have in their head. Obviously though they are farther in the generic development cycle even though they consider themselves pre-pre-alpha on their own schedule. So although you can say that it isnt finished you cant say "its going to get 10 times better" or whatever just cause its in pre alpha. Though like I said with the Halo 3 alpha/beta stuff, things will get better but by how much no one knows we just have to wait and find out.

its BS Dev talk PR nonsense

Basically its in Early Production and if they really mean that then it goes like this

Pre Production - Alpha - Beta - Gold - Launch

theres no such thing as Pre Alpha, not even for Halo 3

R-Dot-Yung

This guy is correct.... if its pre alpha, then the team has not begun production on the game. If that is so, then they would have nothing to show.

It is ok to have an opinion in all, but at least have an intelligent opinion. That is like me saying KZ2 looks like a XBOX game when obviously it doesn't.

I think cows say "pre pre pre .... alpha" to make fun of the infamous Halo3 pre-alpha scene.

Its called a comparison. You'd have to compare KZ2 with something which MAKES it look so bad that you could mistake it for an Xbox game. Of course there is no such game. lol

Crysis just came out of Pre-alpha a couple of months ago, and they had shown tons of footage of the game before they went out of pre-alpha. So obviously you don't know what your talking about.

Well that Gameplay you saw didnt have even have half the animations, and the textures are going to be given a huge boost as they are usually the last to be worked on. EXAMPLE Halo 3 Alpha screenshots had Halo 2 Place holders for the textures of the Grass etc. , And now they look sick

It's actually called a demo but it's not a consumer demo, and that's probably why they're calling it pre-pre-alpha to avoid fan confusion. These demos are given to potential publishers who want to financially back a title. If it's actually in the demo stage then that's not good news since demos are normally done in pre-production, or early production meaning this title has another 3 years left in a typical development cycle (assuming they keep their current pace).

It's probably all complete BS and just stuff they're throwing around for good PR.

I'm assuming that was sarcasm. UT3, Mass Effect & COD4 all looked better then KZ2.
