The doubters can go into all the damage control they want, but what really matters is the words of the experts who were there to see it first hand.
The words of the gaming journalist there to witness the game is all the matters: "As soon as our soldier hits the ground and his gun comes into view, very much like what we saw with the opening to Resistance, we couldn't help but think, "Holy hell, all of that was in-game?" Indeed, it's quickly apparent that Guerilla has come much closer to the original trailer than most anyone thought possible." IGN
"Based on what we've seen, Killzone 2 seems poised to live up to the lofty promise of its debut on the PS3." Gamespot
"In many ways, the visual fidelity of the updated presentation matches the highly polished look of the debut trailer. Beautiful volumetric smoke filled the screen, and the characters were alive with animation." Joystiq
"I think Killzone 2 is probably the most impressive game I've seen so far at E3. The trailer's graphics were amazing. It's probably some of the best facial animation I've seen in a console game." Kotaku
In short, the new Killzone 2 demonstration succeeded far above and beyond the trailer that was shown at 2005 E3.
This is far and above Sony's show, the other two were just there to fill up space.
Sony:
- Gained Haze as Exclusive - Gained Unreal Tournament 3 as exclusive - Hideo Kojima confirming MGS4 for PS3 - Killzone 2 trailer blowing everything at E3 out of the water and looks like the CGI that was at E3 2005 - Showed comprehensive PS Home service - New and better PSP
Microsoft:
- Lost It's most important franchise Gears of War - Assasin's creed freezing on the Xbox360 system - Talked more about Windows PC then Xbox360 - Special Edition Xbox360 flopped hard - No new announcement of Rare games - Halo 3 looks nothing like the Target CGI that was released from past trailers
Nintendo: - Well they lost their minds, the Wii is an excercise machine now - Metroid Prime 3 was pretty cool
The lemmings can go into all the damage control they want, but what really matters is the words of the experts who were there to see it first hand.

In short, all the doubters have been owned. The new Killzone 2 demonstration has succeeded the 2005 E3 trailer.
