Killzone 2: 12 videos from the preview
PS3

It's December 4, and from now on December 4 will be Killzone 2 day! What about 12 gameplay videos from the single player preview version of the game? Let's all thank TTP for his time and great work with all these! It's important to note that the videos are getting more and more spoiler-ish as you go down the news, so keep that in mind. Not that the story is what really matter in such an impressive game ;)
Please use the torrents if possible, they should be plenty fast!
Update: The videos have been removed, with all our excuses to Guerilla and Sony.

It's more a question of where do you wanna spend the power of RSX.

Do you wanna have ultra high texture on walls adn sandbags that the player just runs by or should you focus on effects, lightning and scale. I would take the last one any day of the week. The atmosphere is stunning, the sniper video is absolutly breathtaking.

Wha- what? What the hell?! What happened to the voice acting for god's sake!!!

What happened to the intensity of the convoy landing scene first shown in the E3 07 reveal trailer?!

It's like a complete downgrade! I'm seriously shocked at how inferior it looks. The character's faces look like mannequins and have no animation whatsoever. Especially that guy with the bandana, his face was so real back in 07. Jesus, what the heck happened? :(
Overexaggerating, wouldn't you say? You started a flame bait thread on GT as well right? Anyway, the lighting of the game looks fantastic.

Excellent game? The only thing this game has to offer is Multiplayer. The Single player looks like crap. I am sorry, but it does. Oh, and for people who only care about effects, sure, its a great looking game, but I prefer a game that takes the middle road, making everything look about as good as everything else. I like the way the game looks with afew exceptions, but it obviously isn't technically impressive. The textures are flat, the models are ok at best, the effects are dececnt, but suffer from that Resistance 2 way too soft thing, and the colors are just annoying. grey, d=some green, and ORANGE. Thats it? Really? Ugh, I do not see why people are so obsessed over this game. Actually , no, I take that back. The same reason everone loves the new Star Wars series. All flash and no bang. And yet at the end of the day, its games like Half Life 2 which are actually impressive and pleasing technically and aesthetically that win the prize, not over hyped Killzone 2. I would love for this game to be good, but the gameplay doesn't look that great out side of multiplayer. And while I like the general look of the game, its not something that impresses me. It looks pretty neat, but it also gets old. Same old same old. And no, I'm not a fanboy. I have a PS3, not a 360, I love shooters, blah blah blah. Not impressed, and I don't think this game will really catch me, nor do I think it will be as much of a critical or commercial success it is supposedly going to be. Which is sad, because the PS3 could use a few games like this.

such a shame you cant see how great this game is. not just visually (even though it is pretty much the best looking game thus far) but gameplay wise it offers the intensity, and viceral thrills of cod 4. multiplayer is also awesome. theres is no way this game will fail. it isnt going to revolutionise the FPS genre, but i dont recall the developers ever stating it would, and you'd have to be pretty damn stupid to expect that.

i didnt like fallout 3 because of the grey look, not appealing to the eyes and not very relaxing . but i loved oblivion, the lush green and blue environments.

i dont think i will like killzone 2 for the same reason. to be in a industrial area all the time is depressing. and the grey pallette kills me .
its like having a colour tv and watching a black and white movie . i just wont do it. its not enjoyable.
and the gameplay looks soooo bland , not much to do . i think i will settle for the call of duty 4 and 5 and anticipate 6 .
end of rant and dissapointment.

Most technically impressive game this gen, easily. I had my doubts from the first few vids, but wow, after that who can even deny that?

They even toned down the blur on the guns (unless that is a--stupid--MP only decision/downgrade).

How can people complain about the a lack of color when they haven't even seen the entire game? Some of these comments are ridiculous. Killzone 2 looks amazing.

This game looks great
But I would say how long it took to get here after so many promises, that it had better look this good
It's almost criminal at what was shown and promised. Lucky for them they realized this game was make or break

Just watched the first vid and I can say that the voice acting as of now is very weak, though it is pretty obvious that is placeholder (for the preview build). The fact that the subtitles don't sync up is glaring evidence of this. Hopefully, the U.S. localization team does a good job with the voice acting. Hell, maybe Nolan North will be in the game as he is in virtually every Sony title nowadays.
Texture work is also much better than when the game was first unveiled, especially the ground textures. They also improved the look of the character's faces, especially Rico. The early Rico head model was horrendous; still doesn't look quite there yet, but definitely a step up. Hit animation looks quite nice, but there is still a few problems with the ragdoll to canned animation transition (instamovement of an enemy to a railing for example) but it can be cleared up. But the gun animations are pure win.

Also, Blim, how would you rate the difficulty of the game?

You hit it right on the head bro, this looks absolutely breathtaking and I prefer scale over textures as well. Not to mention this game's FANTASTIC physics.

I couldn't agree more. That is exactly what I think. I would much rather play Uncharted 2 over Killzone 2. Simply because of the lack of color palette. Killzone 2 is nice, but the dull color scheme just doesnt do it. I have a Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3, so no fanboy comments either. I say the same about Gears of War.

this game is gonna be great, i love the footage guys, i can see myself sniping my ass off. that Snipers video was simply breathtaking, i would have been aiming at those helgan flowers alot.lol

right, OMG, do some of the people in these comments actually believe the bullshit that they type, or do they try their best to believe it.
anyone to seriously look at this game and say some dumb shit like, oh the textures are bad(and will post the worst pic of the game that they can find) or whatever, are either visually impaired, plain dumb or just another dumbass fanboy.
and when they can't hate on the graphics they say it's the gameplay, nothing new, nothing revolutionary, well fucking DUH!!! what do games like COD1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, doom1, 2 or 3, the medal of honour series, left 4 dead, HL1, 2, ep1, ep2, CSS, TF2, UT1, 2 or 3, etc, etc bring new to the genre's control mechanics?! nothing!!! so why pick on K2??? tha game controls well, and that's what matters.
if you're not a fan of the genre then please just GTFO.
it's really annoying to see people hate on a game just because of the platform it's on, and then when they're blatant fanboys, they come and say i'm no fanboy, i only own a ps3, or i own all the current gen consoles, as thought they get some credibility for saying that, and it's these same fucktards that would go on sites like metacritic and vote down the game and give it an abysmal user score, the same was done for gears2 and resistance2. what LOSERS!!!.

people, if you don't like a game or it genre, just leave it to fuck alone, don't spoil it for everyone else with your asinine comments, that is all. /rant

I can't believe people are actually talking about textures.

Take a step back, a deep breath, and then just think about the importance of the textures on some sandbags. Why nitpick?

The game looks phenomenal. Gameplay might be a bit clunky (or that could just be the player) but the lighting is absolutely insane. Bravo.

I agree. I've been reading through some forums and the extreme attention that some backdrop textures are getting is astounding! This game is extremely high profile, and as such, everything about it will get examined with a microscope. Whereas a game like Call of Duty 4 can get away with a few blurry textures on some background objects, if a game like Killzone 2 does it, the game automatically becomes unimpressive. That's the problem with high profile games on any system nowadays. Fanboys will attack them like vicious animals for stupid reasons because they feel it is a threat to their console. Happened with Gears of War 2 as well (which is so freaking cool by the way).

Back on topic, the gameplay is a little clunky from what I've read it. Guns have incredible recoil and there is no aim assist ala CoD 4. This adds to the clunkiness which makes the gameplay somewhat realistic. Hopefully, this playtesting will encourage Guerilla to loosen up and make the controls and gameplay a little bit more arcade like.

I do think the voice acting is a placeholder, it was not really up to par in the E3 demo I thought so I would not be surprised if they are rerecording it with better voice talent. The whole cast needs to be up on the level of Brian Cox's excellent work as the Helghan leader, a game of this scope and intensity demands it.

The first Killzone didnt have good dialogue voice acting to start with, so this is probably what we are gonna get, unless they improve it.

Butwhatever, the dialogue is decent enough for me to say "alright, its cool, but the game as a whole is amazing", so I am not bothered :)

But everytime I see the game in motion, it looks brilliant!
And in terms of shooting itself, its amazing how much they polished after the first one to get it RIGHT.

One thing I dont like about it is the melee, but its not a breaker so its all good.

i agree, great dialogue isn't needed for a game like this, there's heavy rain and others for that.
i just hope they don't advertise K2 as though it's a dialogue heavy and emotive game, like epic did for gears with the mad world and last day trailers.

Looks beautiful, but I have reservations about the control( aiming maybe) as that was what killed the first... Thankfully, with all the YEARS they've spent making this suker, the control shouldn't be an issue. Also, this game better be frikkin' LONG, seeing as it's been in developement for so long( pleeaase dont pull a too human)...
