Really, people are saying this game looks bad?? Really? I for one am going to trust virtually every game reviewer out there who has said that this game is visually one of the best ever made. Heaven forbid we actually believe the experts who aren't in fact trying to sell us anything.

LOL There are just haters.  They exist.  They don't want this game to be good for some reason but they can't deny it.  Even if this game plays half as good as it looks it will still be an amazing experience. 


I'm finding it hard swallow when people say they have seen this before....because I've been gaming for almost 20 years and have yet to see anything like Killzone2.  Of course it's a shooter...so there will be guns but name a game with better death animations or lighting?  Even if you do name one that's about all you can come up with...ONE.

Out of PC, 360, PS3 and even the Wii line up in 2009 this game looks to be the best of them all.

The game is of course awesome but I can't help but admit their music choice was horrible. I could've thought of a lot better ballet or opera themed music to fit it.

Everybody who had the chance to preview the game is saying it looks even more awesome than the trailers shown in past E3s. Yes, the hype is true and this is the best looking game on consoles so far.

game looks truly impressive; especially for a console game.  I guess that is title 4 for games that make me want to buy a PS3.

Let's see there is:

1.) MGS4
2.) LBP
3.) Uncharted series
4.) Killzone 2

Any other showstoppers on the PS3?

Looks like a cross between FEAR and Black.  Slightly underwhelmed by this trailer - nothing is really jumping out at me other than 'your gun moves about more than it usually does'.  Some of the gameplay videos I have seen look excellent though, so hopefully this will finally give me a reason to pick up a PS3.

""I could care less if you don't like something, but at least make sense of your opinion, that's all I ask."
You lost me there.  Get educated on the Caring Continuum, then we'll talk:

http://incompetech.com/gallimaufry/care_less.html"

I used it absolutely correctly. I obviously care to the extent of responding to your statement, if I had used "could not care less" I would be an absolute hypocrite since I went to the extent of replying to your statement, because obviously then I would have still cared slightly. Hence why I used "could care less," because I don't care if you like this anything for any particular reason, and I can care even less when you don't say anything in regards to the reason why.

Also, your follow up statement is no more well defined than your last, it all comes down to your happy ignorance of the game. Halo , Gears of War, any one of those games has the same gameplay that you will find here. Also, your very clear ignorance of the art design and architecture, not to mention the history, of the Killzone world is quite apparent as Killzone is all very unique. If you want to talk unique gameplay elements, try first person cover on for size.

And lets just get back to the whole original statement to begin with, so what if a game may be similar in nature to things before it, it's not about that, it's about the quality and level of satisfaction you get from ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME. Dead Space is a perfect example of this, that game is excellent from start to finish, not because it's new and unique, but because it's done well. Killzone 2 is done very well, and I know, I've played it extensively.

No arguing over Killzone 2 people. Everyone deep down knows it looks impressive and the early signs are the gameplay holds up.

This means: Playstation people sit quietly and wait to buy the game; XBOX people save your pennies.

Sorted!

I can undertsand people thinking the game is genertic, because most new shooters are. But i don't understand how people can say this game looks visually bad. Seriously? It's only one of, if not the greatest looking console games of all time.

Greatest looking? I think not. The realistic style is so bland and boring. It reminds me of math class (Straight by the books). The first Killzone wasn't very good and neither will this one. Sorry, but that's just my opinion. I'll stick to R2 Co-Op.

Can't wait to see this on TV. A commercial like this will dramatically increase their aware audience.

Anyone else think that the rag-doll physics have gotten too over the top for shooters?

I can't wait for this game but, a guy flipping over backwards and flailing arms like he stepped on a grenade when he took one handgun bullet to the chest is a bit much.

I much prefer the "Shooting Dudes" trailer title.

Based on the GOTY podcast, and the previews of Killzone 2, the PS3 is looking better and better.

'Sorry but that's just my opinion' doesn't even work in this situation. I wish some people would learn how to explain themselves properly.

The reason Killzone 1 sucked was because of the controls, everything else about that game was fine, it wasn't incredible but what killed that game was the controls, far and away. Killzone 2 plays just as smoothly and tightly as any modern day FPS, and I think even better than most.

"but, a guy flipping over backwards and flailing arms like he stepped on a grenade when he took one handgun bullet to the chest is a bit much."

At what point in the video does that happen? You can conclusively prove he is "flipping over backwards and flailing arms" due to the handgun shot of course and not due to the handgun setting off an explosive?

I love how "solid" Killzone 2 feels. Even if it might be taking style over substance when it comes to the gameplay, which I can see happening, I won't care. Guns shoot like guns, bullets hit like bullets, even if those ragdoll pyshics are stupidly over the top, it sells me to it in the same way FEAR does.  I also love the art direction, even if it is ludicrously grey.

I don't see how I didn't explain myself bro. I told you the graphic style bores me because it's bland. I like clever and unique looking games like Patapon and Killer 7. Killzone 2 looks like any other realistic game on the market. It doesn't have me interested in the slightest.

Too much static geometry!  Look at screen shots of Crysis Warhead.  Everything in that game was fully dynamic, fully destructible.  Every shadow was dynamic and would change depending on the time of day.  Is any of this present here?  No.  Where's the sky rendering?  Where's the outdoor screenshots?  What about anti-aliasing something that the PS3 has been seriously lacking?  Crysis is what Killzone 2 should have been in 2006!

"Wow.. Call of Duty looks waaaaay better than that. I'm really disappointed in the graphics :("

This alone, RebelRobot, completely destroys your validity, go back and play COD (4 or 5) and you will realize just how much is missing in terms of blending. From a technical standpoint COD doesn't come anywhere close to Killzone 2. Now if you don't like it's art style that's one thing, but Killzone 2 definitely look sbetter than COD and they both have the same realistic visual goals.

Some people tend to think that by slowing things down and adding opera, it automatically makes a video cool and artsy.
