You need to watch this video and learn a thing or two: CLICK HERE (make sure to click the "HD" button on the lower right of the video window for better quality)

Its a video of the "Behind the bullet" demo released on PSN last night. Its not just the commercial, it allows you to turn on and off different filters to see just how involved the KZ2 look is.

Whats outstanding about the demo is that you can remove the blur effects and see the game in a colorful, crisp, and totally different look. It really takes the whole "they hide stuff behind blur" argument and throws it out the window. You can see this best at about 1:30 and later (and longer) at 2:18, when it says "No Post".

Please, DO NOT COMMENT HERE unless you have watched THIS video. I don't care if you've seen the commercial before, this is totally different.

**I also have to say that I do not think KZ2 is the second coming of christ. I think it fell short in some big ways (story, characters, etc). But I cannot deny the tremendous effort put forth by the Guerilla guys and how much they have going on, on screen at once.

That video doesn't make the game any more fun to me. I don't care how well the effects were done, the game just wasn't that much fun to me. And you can do some amazing stuff when the FOV is as small as theirs was.

I'm still nay sayin' Poppa. But I do think it's a quality title that should be experienced before bashing it.

@PoppaGamer - I agree with you but most of these fanboys that will soon be here will find someone way to complain, mock and ripe apart this to suit them in some way. I personally don't even waste my time trying to convince the blind what everyone else can see.

What does sales have to do with this thread? Stick to the subject. Otherwise I can pull out some Wii sales numbers for you.

I'm not doing that at all. In fact, I think what they did is very clever... The small FOV allows them to do what they did without sacrificing the framerate..Unfortunately for me, I'm very sensitive to that. It feels like someone has slapped a helmet on my head, which made playing Killzone even more frustrating to me when you can clearly see that SEV is not wearing one....

It's why I love PC shooters, The first thing I do usually is widen the FOV for petter peripheral vision.

But can we make it clear here that those numbers arent true.

Now if there were 1 million pre-orders and it says 1.32 million. i really doubt that the game only sold 320k units! VgChartz is doing something wrong with KZ2 because they never got the numbers right

When you have to combat fanboy ignorance, this is what you have to do sometimes: put it right in their face so they shut their mouths. ALl of these anti-PS3 fanboys talking about how KZ2 hides behind motion blur and how it isn't technically impressive need to open their eyes.

Game is still WAY over rated. I honestly think either people that call this game a epic FPS have not played many FPS games or even worse it just shows how sad the state of gamers are that they only care about looking at a pretty thing and not even gameplay. KZ2 was a fun game by in no way some epic FPS.

AI was bad. It was just dumb how when they were popping up from behind somewhere they would pop their head up 1/2 and turn it left n right then lower their head again. Then come back up. Even the biggest novice could get a ton of heashots because they made it so easy.It told you were to have your gun site rdy to shoot.

Or another thing about the AI they would run up to you and then stand there a sec saying something then start running back. Again a easy kill and bad AI.

No Story at all. I was told you have to go to their website to even find out why the ISA is attacking the planet. That is right in the game itself it can not even tell you why you are invading the planet. I never bothered looking it up because game never made me care enough to go to outside sources to find out what should be in the game anyways.

You do not get to use vehicles much but what you do use was nothing great. There is 2 lvls where you can use them if you want to consider the armor suite a vehicle. The tank had bad controls and the tank is the only true vehicle.

Spoiler-Your only buddy that is not a complete jerk gets killed (Garza) And even then it is not like you feel anything for him.

A alien world but do they take advantage of some unique looks?? Oh hecvk no just the same look copy and pasted through out the entire game no matter if its the bad guys or the areas you fight in.

Since I got most of the ribbons for online I have no desire to even do that again.

I really could go on and on about it but fact is ya it was fun but nothing epic.

You just wasted all of that time typing that in. I am not saying the game is perfect or that it didn't miss on some big aspects. Just wanted nay-sayers to see the technical strength of the game and all it has going on.

Give credit where credit is due. Been reading these forums for a while now, finally got around to creating an account. With all the new topics about KZ2 how it gets bashed in regards to its graphics etc, I think this is a good way to show off all the work and effort put into the game. When gears 2 came out its graphics were amazing, there some naysayers that complained that it was not that much of a visual improvement over the first one, which to me was absurd, it clearly did look better from animations to the number of things going on at once etc. But not to the level of how KZ2 gets destroyed about its graphics. I didnt download the bullet time thing not really gonna make my play through of KZ2 any different but watching the video and how crisp it would have been without the motion blur i was impressed. All I'm saying is give credit to Guerrilla for the job they did.

Absolutely I know the difference. Yes, this video is slightly crisper than in-game because its not dealing with a character moving through a scene and changing the enviroment. But you can still see the HUGE difference the filters make. You can still see how much it has going. But, come on, dude said CGI. Waaaaaaaay different.

That is my point though. That is all KZ2 had going for it. It was all graphics. As far as a great game it fails on so many other areas.

Epic games did all their CGI add's using UE3 and were running on xbox 360 and PC,it doesn't matter if is in engine or not.. it doesn't look like that when i play KZ2.. now try to spin that :),of course any console can run that kind of in engine cut scene and add more detail and effect.. because it lacks of A.I logic and Physics. :)

Nay-sayers......watch and learn?

I've explained my reasons for disliking KZ2's graphics numerous times, this video doesn't change anything. Tell yourself anyone who doesn't bask in the glory of this games graphics is a self delusional, damage controlling hateboy from a competitors platform if it makes you feel better; but I'm still not going to like those graphics.

I didn't see anything real impressive when the Debut CE3 video was shown, those city building didn't look impressive and on most part it was on par with far cry 2. K2 looks miles better. Only thing that does look good is the foliage.

Nay-sayers......watch and learn?

I've explained my reasons for disliking KZ2's graphics numerous times, this video doesn't change anything. Tell yourself anyone who doesn't bask in the glory of this games graphics is a self delusional, damage controlling hateboy from a competitors platform if it makes you feel better; but I'm still not going to like those graphics.

I don't like it aswell,CryEngine 3 is giving a run for its money a more complex engine with far more superior deferred rendering and lighting and that's on consoles.. let alone the superior PC version of the engine..

And what game using CryEngine3 do we have to compare to? Nothing? right. We are talkign about THIS game and the now. Obviosuly games will surpass it. I would have thought that was common knowledge. especially when the games was really finished before the holidays in 2008.

Quick question guys, I'm not very technical when it comes to games i just play them, I watched Cryengine 3 video very impressive the physics part with the grenade launcher and the movement of the trees ridiculous. Was that actual game footage or just a tech demo? Also heard about a new engine from ID not sure of whats it called exactly havent seen any videos of it yet, is it marginally better than the one used for doom 3 or alot better.

[QUOTE="Slambo86"] I didn't see anything real impressive when the Debut CE3 video was shown, those city building didn't look impressive and on most part it was on par with far cry 2. K2 looks miles better. Only thing that does look good is the foliage. McdonaIdsGuy

Negative Cryengine 3 looked better and is far superior engine,call me when KZ2 engine does parallax mapping etc.. and i forgot KZ2 doesn't have dynamic god rays everywhere..and i can keep going but i'm to lazy to list the superior Cryengine 3 features and i'm out to play Left 4 Dead.

Negative X2... K2 looks more impressive, but thats my opinion...Of course this is going by that footage alone. It just doesn't impress, honestly those building parts reminded me of PDZ, and like i said Far cry 2. K2 just has better art and overall visual design thats more pleasing to the eye. BTW The gun mode shown in the CE3 demo looked like crap compared to K2's. :)

Too bad the graphics are hidden by overused filter effects.

That was my first thought when i did the bullet demo last night. Wish they used it, just 75% less of it. Its amazing, I think, how great the game looks without the blur filter.

That video doesn't make the game any more fun to me. I don't care how well the effects were done, the game just wasn't that much fun to me. And you can do some amazing stuff when the FOV is as small as theirs was.

I'm still nay sayin' Poppa. But I do think it's a quality title that should be experienced before bashing it.

I agree. I don't see the point in watching this video really. The Killzone 2 commercial has cool effects, we get the point, but the game itself isn't very fun.

Because this thread isn't about how great the game is overall, its about the graphics and how the game pushes some great technology. Otherwise, I would have talked about gameplay, story, etc. in my topic post. Which, I'm guiess ing you read about as much as you watched the linekd video. Not at all.

Its ok game.. Unfortunately having played it for a while at my friends house.. I found games like singleplayer for Crysis to be much more enjoyable, that is just a example.. Its a ok game, but to me it isn't worth the money for the gameplay it provides me.

Annoying isn't it..when people don't read your threads and just assume things and start something totally different.

You need to watch this video and learn a thing or two: CLICK HERE (make sure to click the "HD" button on the lower right of the video window for better quality)

Its a video of the "Behind the bullet" demo released on PSN last night. Its not just the commercial, it allows you to turn on and off different filters to see just how involved the KZ2 look is.

Whats outstanding about the demo is that you can remove the blur effects and see the game in a colorful, crisp, and totally different look. It really takes the whole "they hide stuff behind blur" argument and throws it out the window. You can see this best at about 1:30 and later (and longer) at 2:18, when it says "No Post".

Please, DO NOT COMMENT HERE unless you have watched THIS video. I don't care if you've seen the commercial before, this is totally different.

**I also have to say that I do not think KZ2 is the second coming of christ. I think it fell short in some big ways (story, characters, etc). But I cannot deny the tremendous effort put forth by the Guerilla guys and how much they have going on, on screen at once.

Actually I watched the video, I just don't care about it... "this guy's footprint is in the mud" and "the camera goes into the guy's eye at the end, along with the bullet presumably", blablabla... it's a commercial. :roll:

My point is this... yeah it has good graphics, but the gameplay isn't very good, so who cares about the graphics really? Save yourself $60 and stare at some screenshots if you love the graphics so much.

Game is still WAY over rated. I honestly think either people that call this game a epic FPS have not played many FPS games or even worse it just shows how sad the state of gamers are that they only care about looking at a pretty thing and not even gameplay. KZ2 was a fun game by in no way some epic FPS.

AI was bad. It was just dumb how when they were popping up from behind somewhere they would pop their head up 1/2 and turn it left n right then lower their head again. Then come back up. Even the biggest novice could get a ton of heashots because they made it so easy.It told you were to have your gun site rdy to shoot.

Or another thing about the AI they would run up to you and then stand there a sec saying something then start running back. Again a easy kill and bad AI.

No Story at all. I was told you have to go to their website to even find out why the ISA is attacking the planet. That is right in the game itself it can not even tell you why you are invading the planet. I never bothered looking it up because game never made me care enough to go to outside sources to find out what should be in the game anyways.

You do not get to use vehicles much but what you do use was nothing great. There is 2 lvls where you can use them if you want to consider the armor suite a vehicle. The tank had bad controls and the tank is the only true vehicle.

Spoiler-Your only buddy that is not a complete jerk gets killed (Garza) And even then it is not like you feel anything for him.

A alien world but do they take advantage of some unique looks?? Oh hecvk no just the same look copy and pasted through out the entire game no matter if its the bad guys or the areas you fight in.

Since I got most of the ribbons for online I have no desire to even do that again.

I really could go on and on about it but fact is ya it was fun but nothing epic.

rybe1025

you are dead wrong about the AI it is some of the best ai i have seen in a videogame so far. Try playing on elite difficulty and say the AI is stupid.

Spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler

Yes you do feel something for Garza they have a whole scene after that involving Sev and Rico

Yes there are different areas and Enemies

Some people just have a different opinion then you i never liked Half-life or Half-life 2 and though those games were totally overrated.

SOmething tells me you havent played the game much because it is obvious there are all the things you mentioned that are not in the that, are in the game.
