Asked my brother what he thought about killzone, he said it wasn't impressive. I was like compared to what? He then said none of the games were real time. I was like, killzone was a live demo. He refused to believe me. Wat.

lol same thing happened with my roommate. Showed her KZ, Second Son and Capcom videos.

The particles in particular impressed me. There's simply a lot going on at screen at once, and it's very impressive.

Exactly. So much is going on on screen. When the soldier was walking into the city sakura leaves were falling all around him. It was just..beautiful. I get the feeling such details get overlooked because it's a shooter. No Joke. If this was a RPG the tune of many would be much different I think

Next gen and hair still looks terrible.

I couldn't really notice the hair being awful while looking at the Crysis Level face....but the face on the right looks like mass effect current gen. So there are some inconsistencies. Maybe he uses hair gel....haha

 

[Reven]

That might be the effect of the ship slowing down from getting hit by a rocket..

You know what, I think you're right. A barrel roll would burn off some speed anyway plus the missile hit.

 

[Lemonte]

This is all I can think of when I saw that city.

(bizarre creations cancelled game)

 

[levitan]

with engines/graphic like this, they should go making RPGs, or at least something that is not FPS...that city in the demo looks like Esthar in FF8

You can download the 1.1 GB trailer here -> http://presscenter.playstation.com

Username: SCEA

Password: SC3APR

Events -> Playstation Meeting 2013 -> Software -> Killzone

Click the arrow icon and it should download. But it's only the trailer, not the gameplay vid (there is also a ~900MB trailer for Infamous). VLC had some problems with those files for me, Quicktime player did work.

This gameplay video has imo acceptable quality at 1080p.

I'm not seeing the arrow icon. Am I missing something?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Hmm what copy was that..the 1080p at 8 minutes was 371 mb from youtube..

Man it looks so damn good - the area of action is HUGE*, so much fire and bullets and it looked pretty stable :S... worryingly so!! I mean it was recording while playing too!
When you get close to some surfaces the texture/shaders and lighting impresses as well.

* You can see when he climbs up to the left after they invade and has a look across for a few seconds, it's massive! He then jumps down and melees the guy.

There are so many objects in that map too..crazy.

So many reflections next gen.

Where's the 1.1GB file?

Here! Dat uncompressed video!

Stantron why are you posting a screencap of the login screen?

Stantron why are you posting a screencap of the login screen?

Cause I can't get past it. I guess the "arrow icon" appears after it logs you in. Shit's not working for me. :/

 

[Crazypanda_85]

(bizarre creations cancelled game)

Why did they cancel this beautiful game? Atleast make it a downloadable title for the PS4/Durango :*(

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

By the way, I'm still sort of against adding a Helghast perspective to the single player, but the image they have on their website definitely gives the impression they are going to add the long asked for fan request.

Didn't realize this until I just watched the gameplay again. Theres a ISA and Helghast city right beside each other

Did I miss something from KZ3?

 

[Parakeetman]

Yeah about 30 years

 

[CREMSteve]

Awesome, thanks!

 

[BoboBrazil]

This looks crazy good for being over 9 months from release. I bet it looks even better by e3 when they can start optimizing for 8gb memory instead of 4gb. So ready for PS4 to come out.

 

[Sorral]

Definitely fits within the context of this game. Here's what I think.

Spoiler

That guy from the pod is the new Helghast leader. He's not Stahl though, he's most definitely the guy narrating the trailer which sounds nothing like any prior characters. Devastated by the loss of his home world, he devises a plan to take over Vekta and make it the new Helghan. To do this, he manipulates the events that follow so that Vekta takes in and shelters Helghasts refugees. While segregated from the rest of Vekta, he secretly plans a massive attack to swiftly take over without warning. After thirty years of preparation, the bombing of the VSA tower in the demo marked the beginning of their re-invasion.

Late reply, sorry! But then

Spoiler

who could it really be? I mentioned that Visari does have a daughter as shown in KZ3's intro. What happened to her? We have no mention of this at all. The ending in KZ3 said "Sir" so it is not her either.

I do like what you said though and sounds very possible.

Edit:
Wow I missed this!

By the way, I'm still sort of against adding a Helghast perspective to the single player, but the image they have on their website definitely gives the impression they are going to add the long asked for fan request.

Thank you for catching that! I was curious if they would actually have two sides Killzone MMO or RPG in the KZ universe...maybe it will be possible after all.

 

[UnluckyKate]

dude that thing looks better than anything we have ever seen

also that demo was built with 4g ram in mind. SONY changed its plans to 8gig at the last moment

i think KZ killed the hype for all other games he heh

Dev kit only have 3gb available because one was stuck for the OS I think

leader of the black hand probably, it's written all over the information screens when he walks before the explosion

Activision close down whole studio. We will never get our hands on it.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Fuuuuuuck, I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUjQ4DJXLzw in 1080p. This is incredible, just how smooth the action is when flying through the city and the huge draw distances with no popup and super clarity. Also those particle effects

 

[Sorral]

Which trailer? I didn't see it in the new 1080p. I skipped to the second he landed and watch from then until the explosion.

 

[i-Lo]

The more I see the trailer, banal issues of per-alpha footage notwithstanding, the more I realize just how head and shoulders it is above anything current gen. On my last repeat, I noticed that fires emit flickering/fluctuating emission of light shown through real time reflections. Oh yes, real time reflections are abound. Also the ssao has been used so much better than bf3 or MoH:W as well.

What amazes me is how much attention to detail there is even at low points. As someone mentioned how the leaf petals fall off and as he walks they blow away in the wind. The ground isn't just a flat texture either.

 

[Pistolero]

The game is impressive, no doubt about it. Even more impressive than Crysis3 on a very beefy PC setup (which I saw running and played a bit of). But I'm still left with the impression that it is below GG standards...Are we sure this is an entirely different engine than the one that had powered the last two entries?

 

[jett]

I'm surprised I'm the first to point this out: no more midget view! :lol

edit: seems I jumped the gun. midget view comes with a vengeance when the shootbang starts.

 

[Stallion Free]

I'm surprised I'm the first to point this out: no more midget view! :lol

I thought the perspective looked awfully midget at times still.

You're right, the character shrinks when he gets his gun.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Just watched the video from the press site. Jesus Christ.

When I saw it live during the screen my reaction was "looks ok, I guess."

When I saw the 1080p youtube trailer I was like "wow, that does look pretty good."

After watching the press video, I'm just floored. I really want to see the entire 7min gameplay uncompressed now.

Next gen is here, get hype.

 

[NBtoaster]

Seems theres still some reliance on lightmaps. There are some flat jagged shadows without cascades or shimmering when you're walking around, and it's evident on the background scenery.

 

[jsnepo]

So secondary fire is back? Yay! Also, was there some sort of bullet time happening?

 

[shinobi602]

I just know I'm going to waste so much time in this game just enjoying the scenery and looking at everything.

I'm foreseeing a lot of "Sir, this way!" "We have to move now sir!!"

 

[chubigans]

Heck, I still do that with a few current gen games. I can't wait to do that with next gen games. I seriously CANT FREAKIN WAIT!

 

[gamethriller]

Wow that was beautiful graphics. I was impressed.

 

[Zen]

KZ3 had very low input lag. Not worried about that for SF. They just need to bring KZ2's recoil and momentum back.

The input lag (and netcode) of Killzone 3 mixed with the Recoil and momentum of Killzone 2 would be amazing. I wish guerrilla would explain why they aren't doing this. It's a pretty common thing to hear among their fanbase.

I'd honestly pay money for a Killzone 2 MP re-release running on the Killzone 3 engine.

 

[Allonym]

So secondary fire is back? Yay! Also, was there some sort of bullet time happening?

lets hope so regarding the secondary fire, I'd like to see the underslung grenade launcher of the ISA/VSA and the underslug shotgun of the Helghast.

Also regarding Lucas Kellar, I think it'd be cool if atached to his nanosuit were tubes that carried thyroid hormone throughout his body to quicken his reflexes. Trying to bring some science in here to Killzone

 

[AranhaHunter]

Next gen and hair still looks terrible.

Funny I thought this exact same thing when David Cage was demoeing that old dude's face.

what in the flying fuck! 163Mbps, that's higher than Bluray.

1.1gb of Killzone Jizz all over my face.

Fuck it, im doing the OT, unless Bruceleeroy wants to.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Yeah, it's crazy. It would be like a ridiculous 10GB if we got the entire demo presentation.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Here is the Jimmy Fallon gameplay video from other thread.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Thanks for that press link. There are some other cool resources there too, like that Killzone panorama.

Not a big tech guy here, but 1080p at 30 fps? Isn't that not impressive at all? Current gen. consoles are capable of that.

[SolidSnakex]

Jimmy Fallon demo

Already up on Youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGlu3e9kdks

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=48069044

Starts at the part where he's using that charge sniper to take out a Helghast.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

There is barely anything, at best there is like only like 2 FPS series that are 60fps, RAGE and the Call of Duty games; the former hits 720p and the later is running below 720p on current consoles.

 

[Oblivion]

Uh...many? Rayman is 1080p at 60 fps.

 

[sappyday]

Well the framerate could be better but other than that 1080p is as good as you can get with consoles. There was never gonna be a new type of resolution and framerate this upcoming gen.

[SolidSnakex]

There should be no questions about whether or not this is real after the Jimmy Fallon demo. That much is true.

Nothing that gets close to this quality.
