Killzone was REAL

[Smoke]

But only ran at 5fps.

- The alpha devkit was using 2 Geforce 6800GT in SLI, the new one uses the G70
- Killzone was in-game engine running at 5fps on the alpha devkit
- I-8 and Warhawk were realtime on the alpha devkit
- GT vision was just a hi-res GT4 engine, its just a tech demo not the final game
- They were forced to change controller because of the copyright lawsuit

I read this about an hour ago.

"But they are indicative of the final products."

Sure they are.

Just like the PS2 E3 tests were so indicicitive of the final PS2, I imagine? :)

I seriously doubt that the game will look that good but perhaps we'll get something that looks similar running at 30fps. Maybe by the end of the PS3's life it will be able to pull that off.

[A Black Falcon]

It's not like it really matters, given the abysmal track record of that developer... even if it DOES look good the chances for the game being even half decent aren't exactly good. So why do people care so much? And besides, it's yet another military-themed shooter... Boring...

[Smoke]

People care because if it's real it's an indication of what to expect from other PS3 games graphically.

[Great Rumbler]

Plus if they can make the actual game anything like that demo it'd be really awesome.

[A Black Falcon]

I'm just not as interested in military-themed shooters as many are, I guess...

[Great Rumbler]

You just aren't as interested in FPSs PERIOD, Brian.

[A Black Falcon]

They're fun enough at times, but yes, other genres are better.

You just haven't lived until you've played games like Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 1942.

[A Black Falcon]

I've played the BF1942 demo, it's pretty good for a multiplayer FPS... haven't played HL2, though. :)

:nodding:

Anyway, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is the best FPS, not your silly "Half-Life" or its sequel... :)

[Great Rumbler]

And yet you've never played HL2?

[A Black Falcon]

Since when has that ever stopped anybody? :)

[Great Rumbler]

Alright then. Simcity is better than Civilization.

[A Black Falcon]

About as true. :)

... I doubt HL2 would run too well on my computer, though... some new games don't run at all, but I think HL2 might. Badly.

But for instance, either because of needing a better videocard or needing Windows XP (those are the two things which my computer has fallen behind the minimum requirements of many games in), I can't play games like Everquest 2, Lego Star Wars, Battlefield 2, Psychonauts, Forgotten Realms - Demon Stone, etc... :(

Just to set the record straight, Killzone is a sci-fi/fantasy. It's military themed, but you're fighting semi-humanoid aliens. It is after all Sony's answer to Halo.

There are military FPS games on the market like EA's Call of Duty or the like. But Killzone doesn't really fit in that catagory.

Ultimately though the first Killzone wasn't all that good or anything. At the most it had some quick fix multiplayer but nothing with any depth and the single player was boring to boot. But all of that a side, the tech demo that was showed us this scene that looked incredibly scripted with explosions happening at just the right time and character movement being right on the mark to catch it all. No video game has that kind of perfect timing in-game I dont care how powerful the system is.

Killzone 2 will 'feel' exactly like the first Killzone with much, much, MUCH better graphics.

I don't give a fuck about Killzone 2. I do want to be able to play something that looks this good someday though and I hope I don't have to wait till the generation after this upcoming one.
