5 new Killzone 2 movies are positively stunning

killzone3b1.jpg

In what can only be described as a CES 09 Killzone 2 media blowout, five new gameplay trailers for the Guerilla super-shooter have crept their way off the show floor and onto the internets.

Amongst gunplay and cut scenes, you can even see a whole building completely collapse (4th video down) as just as we told you when we played it at last year’s Expo.

In fact, to use the more everyday colloquial vernacular, this game looks bloody stunning and we can’t bloomin’ wait for it.

Go watch.

The videos don’t work (for me, anyway).

I get an “undefined” message.

I couldn’t even get it to work from gamespot, so I’ve had to download one.

I get an “undefined” message, too. Off to Gametrailers it is, then..

Even with so many great games on the go at the moment – none of which I’m likely to have finished by the end of February – I’m getting rather excited about this.

That surpases the infamous bullrender. This has to be the best game ever made. Proof of the PS3s superiority.

When this goes on sale it’s bye bye MS!

Holy jewilligers Robin, my sarcasam meter is off the charts! :P

Seriously, they are amazing, especially that Ballet of Death video.

Whoever thought of that video deserves a pay rise in my opinion.

It’s strange how just adding dust / smoke / particles does so much to increase the film like quality of it all. Reminds me of the “Imperfect World” extra on the Wall-E disc.

That building going down in the 4th one still makes me wet myself a little.

Agreed Psychotext, more than anythign it’s the superb motion blur that gives this game the edge if you ask me.

Or if not then the flawless mixture of the motion blur and particle effects.

The Ballet trailer is the only one I watched, and Isbtarted to watch the other one… and then spoilers, when I saw it was a mech.

Is watching any of these going to be spoiler-ific?

Just realised this was the music in the British Airways ads.

I knew i recognised it for reasons other than general erudite intellect.

And with it comes the kind of connotations that are perfectly juxtaposed by the violence and questionable motives depicted in the trailer.

Amirite?

It’s interesting that most of the sites that had done
comparisons between the GPU’s in PS3 and 360 said that
the 360 had the GPU advantage.
I really haven’t seen any title that the PS3 couldn’t do thats on the 360, except for maybe some texture issues due to the halving of memory.
I haven’t seen Killzone 2 in person yet, and I can’t
really watch the movies right now, but if its as spectacular
as its been touted to be, why havent we seen something on the 360 that supposedly shows its GPU superority?

PS3 is a better machine IMO (i own both BTW).

360 is easier to get results. Development costs generally lean in favour of the 360 model.

However after 2008 (MGS4, LBP, Wipeout HD, Motorstorm 2, GT4 and all the quality 3rd party stuff) I’d say the PS3 is pulling ahead in graphics etc. but still lacks a lot of the nice online features of the 360.
