At 00:49 the gun is on the left hand side of the screen instead of the right. Is a fancy camera angle to show off the awesome blood splat deadness or your able the change which position the gun is held?

Maybe the PS3 has an exclusive FPS that actually is system seller material.

They should honestly just use this video as an add on late night TV or in movie theaters.  I would really like to see some nice Killzone2 adds and hopefully this game will get the sales it deserves.

I'll say it again, Killzone 2 is an incredible game to play, having played the closed beta I only wish they would have made it public because it was in a very stable state with nary a problem to discuss. It's still incredible to realize that this is all in-game.

I dunno, I'm still way too skeptical about that game. I think it's just going to be "OK" with great graphics.

Only time will tell.

Really? This is NOT trailer worthy stuff. The music is all that make sthis interesting in the slightest. First of all, you don't throw yourself up into a pirouette when you get shot, it looks retarded, not epic or bad ass or anything. And allthough there are a few different animations, they all look essentially the same. And this isn't new tech either, its not impressive, impressive would be shooting the arm in different places and getting intelligent reactions, not shooting the arm and make the guy JUMP. Seriously, this looks like any other game, but with a little silliness. With the death animations anyway. I'm sure the slo mo adds to that a bit, but still lol. Visually its appealing, but I'm still nt seeing the omgness that people are drooling over. Really, I like the look, ALOT, but I'm not impressed by the engine really. It just has a nice soft glowy look and stuff. Some of the effects look like, faint, and the fire has weird color, which might have to do with dynamics but yeah, it looks a bit faint too.

"At 00:49 the gun is on the left hand side of the screen instead of the right. Is a fancy camera angle to show off the awesome blood splat deadness or your able the change which position the gun is held?"
A lot of games used to allow you to choose which side you held your weapon, wouldn't surprise me if that was the case here. Personally I would explode if the gun was on the left, it would freak me out lol.

Ehhh, why does this game seem so unappealing despite the excellent technical graphics?  The gameplay just looks so meh, so by-the-numbers.  The color palette consisting of nonstop gray certainly doesn't help.  Even Gears 2, sequel to THE gray game of them all, had some downright beautiful art direction.  The underground caves of Act 2 look more impressive than anything in Killzone 2.

Sorry David Snakes, but you don't know what you are talking about.

First, I was in closed beta, and the controls are extremely unique, they don't feel like CoD4 or Halo 3 or anything else for that matter, it is very satisfying.

Second, There is tons of color in the game, yes it was too gray 2 years ago, but watch some updated videos, and you will see the difference

Fail, Giant Bomb.  You accidentally uploaded a the trailer for the original F.E.A.R.  Surprised you haven't noticed and corrected this already.

If you start to get excited about Killzone 2, you just have to remind yourself that it's a sequel to Killzone.  That makes the wait a little easier.

That game looks better tahn any other console game I've ever seen. If it holds a stable frame rate, it will be absolutely stunning. Can't wait for the review.

The gameplay looks so by the numbers? It's a first person shooter, what the fuck are you talking about? That genre is inherently by-the-numbers, it's the reason we play them, to shoot shit up.

The art direction is incredible, play the game, don't judge it entirely off this single video. Having put in way too many hours in the closed beta most of the time the screen is awash with blues, oranges, yellows, and reds in some of the most gorgeous visual effects you've ever seen. They're not realistic effects but they sure do add a sense of style to the whole presentation and some much needed color to an environment that is intentionally drab. Also, the environments are very animated, with tons of small details moving about and swaying in the wind and other dynamic effects at all times. It's truly one of those games that needs to be seen in motion to get the full experience.

I could care less if you don't like something, but at least make sense of your opinion, that's all I ask.


If you're going to make statements like "this fps looks too by-the-numbers" and you actually have a good reason to believe this then do explain, otherwise don't bother saying it. You just end up looking like an ignorant fool needless picking at something.

What's there to explain about something looking boring and derivative?  I watch the video, the gameplay looks over-familiar.  A combination of generic enemy design, color palette, just all-around bland "war-torn" environment I've seen about 5,000 times.

This is amazing. Truely amazing. A cliche trailer idea but it's oh so haunting. And it's a fantastic showcase for their hit system.

Can't wait for the game.

"First of all, you don't throw yourself up into a pirouette when you get shot, it looks retarded, not epic or bad ass or anything."

Because you're a SEAL Operator and have shot many people in RL and noted the effect.

"The underground caves of Act 2 look more impressive than anything in Killzone 2."

Because you've played EVERYTHING in Killzone 2.

/sarcasm.
