PSM3 compared Killzone 2 CGI to Killzone 2 snippet @ GDC 2007

PSM3 scan of Killzone 2 @ GDC coverage. - Image 1

The latest peek at Killzone 2 Sony/Guerrilla Games was willing to give to the press was at the PlayStation Edge briefing during GDC 2007. It was also off limits to any replay on the net - so, no one else got that same look, either, PSM3 magazine observed. Still, they were willing to give substantive judgments on that trailer compared to the CGI last E3.

Someone left this scan of the recent PSM3 in the TinyPic media sharing service. Whoever you are, thanks. Now PSM3 can't show the GDC 2007 trailer either, but it was willing to put forward its observations:

"Some have griped about it not looking the equal of that E3 trailer. It's true that it doesn't, but it still looks excellent to us."
"Animation wasn't as smooth as the E3 footage, but at least it was in-game. It jerked at times, mind you."
"Character models looked superb on the new trailer. Expressive, realistic, these impressed us greatly."
"Environments were a touch jaggier and more subdued... but still quite beautiful."

Do mind that it's still early days for Killzone 2 (ETA 2008). With a little elbow grease, the E3 2007 (er... the not-E3-anymore E3 2007 which takes place in July, not the E4All 2007 which takes in October) Killzone 2 should look even better.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

It's going to be good but I don't think they can say that's what Killzone looks like now. At GDC 07 didn't Sony say it didn't look like the E3 05 trailer because the trailer at GDC 07 was run using the Playstation Tools? It looked like that to show what the Playstation Tools can do out of the box. The real work from Guerilla should look way better.

# yo — Guest 2007-04-15 17:10

Why was your name and comment on my page and I didnt even write it,.....and 2008, ITS GONAA BE A LONG YEAR

# KZ..please — Guest 2007-04-15 17:13

This shooter had alot of hype and delivered nothing (excluding the PSP game).

Now they wont show the video because they *****ed themselves showing some e3 video in 05 saying it was real footage.

Thank the ***** christ fanboys can shut the hell up, killzone will not look like that and does not look like that at the present. If it did they wouldve shown the public.

# Why are you so angry? — Guest 2007-04-15 17:45

The magazine reporters are saying it looks pretty damn good, I'm sure videos will be released in good time. If they're saying it looks good now, I'm sure in a year it will be pretty damn close to the E3 video.

Why not just wait and see.

# fasf — Guest 2007-04-15 18:40

yeah you're obviously gay

it didn't look as great because it was gameplay not a trailer dumbass

and even still it looked better in some aspects

# Names Mixed Up Again And Again — Guest 2007-04-15 18:59

This really needs fixed. Enough with the stupid mix ups!

# Ummm — Guest 2007-04-15 21:10

Killzone 2 ... well ...

Looking absolutely brilliant! mmmm July! mmmm Region Free ! mmm can't wait!

Looking more forward to this than Halo 3 actually... but yes, i'll still get halo 3 ... dont really like it but what the hell :)

Killzone ftw.

# WHAT THE FSCK!!!! — AuDioFreaK39 2007-04-15 21:37

2008?! are you sh*tting me?! This game was due in Fall 2007. That's this year. Oh c'mon Sony/Guerrilla, you guys have had well over two years to work on this game, yet you are still going to push it into '08? Don't mind me, but that's just outright evil. I was hoping to have some fun this summer on my launch day PS3. I guess it'll just be folding proteins all year long....

# wait and watch — Guest 2007-04-16 00:30

i am confident that this game will show a true power of ps3 and it will be the best in graphics and gameplay shooter game ever made

# LMAO — Guest 2007-04-16 00:35

Typical jealous *****box360 fanboy...

# If the PS3 would have ~2GB ram... — Guest 2007-04-16 05:15

i would say that the CGI render Video would be possible in realtime! but with only 256Mb it is not.

It is far away from what it could be!

# I don't get it. — Guest 2007-04-16 06:59

All the xboys complain that the killzone trailer was not "in-game", but that Halo3 trailer does not look "in-game", it is a FIRST PERSON shooter right. Look at the commercials for rfom and gears of war. you could clearly see ALL the shots of rfom were in-game they even had the gun there. Gears was a movie with good music, not gameplay. Yet xboys had nothing to say. As a matter of fact hardly any 360 games show game play they show fmv's. S shut up about the killzone trailer, it was a trailer.

# ps3 processor and spu dosent needs more of ram — Guest 2007-04-16 07:09

ps3 processor and spu dosent needs more of ram becs of high bandwidth of data transfer rate at full potential it would be abt 30gb per sec for example a pc with 512mb ram and a nvidia card can not produce high graphics like ps3 its all abt cell processor and spu and by the way ps3 has two 256 mb rams both can be utilized

# halo3 — Guest 2007-04-16 07:14

you will buy halo3 for the same reason I bought halo2. I needed a good Unreal tournament clone for my console, all ways had people playing. THE one good thing about halo2 was not having to wait for a match, the rest of the game was ok, but since most of us want instant gratification,w e overlokked the game brought very little new. except duel-wielding different weapons. Timesplitters let you duel-wield most weapons.

# o well — Guest 2007-04-16 07:48

tbh im looking forward to this game but i dont care if they delay it as we r getting some decent games at the end of 2007 so they should leave some for 2008 as well

# . — Guest 2007-04-16 08:37

The trailer was supposed to be gameplay (or at least everyone acted like it.) Now the gameplay doesn't measure up. What's the excuse again?

XBOX 360 games do not use much FMV in games. Most games have in game rendered cutscenes. It looks so good, why not? The Halo 3 trailer was in game because there is not a lot of extra space on a DVD9 to put lots of HD movies in it.

# Convenient memory? — Guest 2007-04-16 10:49

Or perhaps you were not into gaming at the time?

The controversy over the Killzone video at E3 2005 was that Sony presented as if it was REALTIME running on PS3 hardware. Those with common sense knew it was pre-rendered, but many others believed (or wanted to believe) it was realtime.

It took 8 months or so until a CGI company confirmed it was pre-rendered because Sony asked them to create the movie first, but they had to turn it down.

Hence it was not about whether it was in-game or cutscene, it was whether it was realtime or pre-rendered.

# Killzone 3 — MrDaBucket 2007-04-16 11:58

The Guerrilla games devs at the Killzone forums/beta called KZL Killzone 2. The PS3 one is killzone 3....

# poop — Guest 2007-04-16 13:28

****360 fan boy

# wtf — Guest 2007-04-16 13:45

Every game Guerrilla has made is crap. So what on earth makes you think killzone 2 will be good.

# Uhh no.... — Shatterdome 2007-04-16 17:44

The gears trailers was a CINEMATIC using the in game engine...not a pre-rendered FMV.

Killzone E305 WAS a pre-rendered FMV, passed off as real gameplay....they even pre-rendered it in a first person view, just to be that much trickier....

That's why "xbots" don't mention that, because ther eis nothing to mention.....not once has MS passed off pre-rendered CGI as gameplay....the pre-rendered Halo 3 commercial has a BIG disclosure at the begining saying "THIS IS NOT GAMEPLAY"

duh...

# PC > xbox360 > ps3 — Guest 2007-05-02 03:01

PCs will always be ahead of shih, but if I had to pick one I would say that the xbox 360 is capable of more than the ps3. The games that I have seen on ps3 have always had terrible framerate which pisses me off.
