Okay, so the demo at E3 was a big scam. A 5 FPS rendering sped up to 60, but damn was it
gorgeous! Gameplay? Not bloody likely. Sure was purty though.
Sadly we can't offer gameplay shots today. In fact these new shots look suspiciously like the demo from E3 to be
honest. There is a nice design rendering of one of the vehicles that's worth a look though.
Is Killzone 2 the reason to buy a PS3? Depends if you liked the first one I guess. It's sure high on my list.

Don't forget the PS3 dev kit at that time wasn't up to spec. I'm sure the gameplay will look close to what we saw at E3.

yeah when i see actual game movies then i might get excited. it's like watching the new video of Peter Moore showing the Assassin demo on the 360. it's all very pretty and sure you can stop it at a certain time and do all the rotation and stuff, but there's no AI, actual user-controlled characters, and environmental sound. those things usually help knock them back down. as soon as you can walk to the special area of the room and turn around and view all 200million polygons that can no longer be specially culled, the framerate drops to like 1fps.

So the FMV looks nice. Congrats. You've done what Square's been doing for the past 10 years.
It's obvious these aren't in-game screens. So why even bother releasing them?

I personally love seeing these types of screen shots. While the actual game footage may not be that good... shots like this get me more pumped for next gen systems then hearing about how much MS is going to charge for some overpriced battery charger.
With any luck this game is going to make the PS3 worth buying... once the price comes down.

The images dated for August are concept art. Hardly worth clicking the link for.
Kenny, the 360 = over hyped as well. Everything thought it would be 300 with a HD. Now we know that's not true. The Microsoft PR works at its magic yet again.

I don't know if I can believe there even was a PlayStation 3 dev kit at E3. I don't know why everyone's so excited about this game anyway: Killzone's gamplay was ass. It was a pretty good concept, but the PS2 and its controller simply couldn't handle it. What makes you think the PS3's dildonic shit-piece will fair better? Sony fanboys keep on saying "I'm sure the gameplay will look close to what we saw at E3." Bullshit. You don't know what the gameplay's going to look like. We've seen NO real PS3 footage.
Stop the hyping the shit out of Sony. Please just shut up about them for the time being until they show us some REAL gameplay.
Sony has lost all credibility, therefore, I couldn't care less about some fake-ass screen shots.

metal_gear_jello , please don't change the subject. We are talking about Killzone screenshots, not the Xbox 360. The fact of the matter is, Sony's stuff is fake, so don't get all hyped up about it. Just wait a while.

ah, nice to see that joystiq is back to its former xbox loving ps3 hating self. Come on Jack T almost every 360 related post gets at least a few Sony sucks posts since everyone on joystiq hates sony. As for the screenshots well we won't know untill we see more of the ps3 gameplay shots. I honestly hope they are amazing just so all the 360 loving joystiq readers can hang their heads in shame. Sadly, though, I doubt they will be and if killzone 2 has pop-in like the first one it wont matter since you'll only see about 20 feet ahead of you.

Aren't these the same concept pics that were released sometime around E3?

Joystiq readers are a bunch of XBOX fanboy faggots, who I could whoop the shit out of with one hand tied behind my back. Anyone that sucks the dick of a brand, let alone a game console, should be bludgeoned to death with a blunt, heavy object. Please do it yourself, though, as to save the time of we who actually have lives. And girlfriends. And good taste, etc.

Ahhh, the life of a PS2 fanboy. Got nothing better to do than complain about other fanboys... so sad.

*Meanwhile, Nintendo fanboys sit back, laughing their asses off at this trivial battle*

Ninendo fanboys can laugh all they want - they won't have much to laugh about when Xbox360 and PS3 are out.

If the usb ports suport a full keyboard and mouse then that takes all of the bad points from the first one away. It had a great story and some sweet weapons. Give me keyboard and mouse.

This is the most pathetic comments posting I've ever seen on any article.
How the hell old are you people, eight?
Screenshots of a still-not-gameplay upcoming game whose first incarnation sucked total ass spawn arguments showing ridiculous fanboism? How does that have anything to do with either system?

I especially love the guy "lansing" who absolutely went off that Joystiq was "up to its old Xbox loving, Sony hating ways".
Apparently not reading the last line of the article at all, and not realizing that Sony Entertainment is hated just as much as Microsoft.
I hate to keep on about it, but DAMMIT - WHO THE HELL CARES which console has which processor or has more RAM...WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE GAMES. Till then you have NO IDEA.

Yeah, unless the Nintendo Revolution really is revolutionary and Nintendo manages to attract a much broader audience than just hardcore gamers, creates its own demographic, and makes more money than Sony and Microsoft (they're already making more than Microsoft and almost as much as Sony). Then Nintendo will be the ones laughing.

If you refer to this document:
http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2005/0722/kaigai02l.gif
It shows that the in the early dev kit the Cell chip was connected to the GPU via a southbridge running at roughly 2-5 GB/s.
In the production model & current dev kits, the Cell is directly connected to the GPU and pushing data at 20+GB/s.
Therefore the explanation about running frames from the dev kit and then speeding up the resulting footage is actually plausible....
If we are interested in facts, that is.
The chart is titles:
"PS3 to PS3 Evaluation system no kousei no chigai"
which means:
"Differences in the design/makeup of the PS3 and the PS3 evaluation system"
Read 'n' learn peeps.

Well, TiaMaster, it looks like your comprehension of a comment is a little off. I wasn't saying that joystiq's official posters were Xbox slanted, I was saying that their readers are Xbox slanted. And it looks like some people agree with me on that one.
Now before you mistake that comment I don't mean every single poster is that way but a majority.
