Killzone 2: Introducing the ... introduction

by James Ransom-Wiley on Jan 29th 2009 2:53PM

Killzone 2 has never lacked in the pre-rendered department. Heck, the game's most famous (or is that: infamous?) for its unbelievable visual razzle-dazzle. All smoke and mirrors or not, this is the official intro cinematic that's included in the game. Pre-rendered, in-engine, whatever -- it's definitely not playable. So sit back, dim the lights, and enjoy.

[Warning: Video contains some rough language and a few kabooms. Plug in your earphones if the boss is nearby.]

Your talk is cheap, im standing here, do something

Ahh Maze Zing!!!

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST GRAPHICS IN A VIDEO GAME EVER!!!

KILLZONE FTW!

Crysis would like a word with you.

Crysis is impressive but for this game to be running this beautifully at such high resolutions shows that it is indeed superior to Crysis (besides, no offense to crysis fans but i thought its gameplay was very second rate). I just wish this game would come out on PC too cause lets face it, mice win any battle :(

I think the fact that GG got this game running so well on the PS3, as opposed to a high end PC, makes Killzone 2 even more technically impressive than Crysis.

That's a cracker of an opening sequence.

Reminds me of one of my all time favorite intro videos: Quake II.

Wasn't this intro cinematic posted around the interwebs a few weeks ago? Still cool to watch.

Brian Cox rules!

Awesome looking trailer, can't wait to play kz2. kzl on the psp was cool. Kind of makes me wish kz2 was a third person shooter like gears, or mgs4 ...... just not so crazy about fps games.

WOW, I was kind of on the edge, undecided about buying this, but after that, and in conjunction with the glowing reviews, I feel that I must buy it ASAP. Really can't wait now.

I've never seen two guys more excited to go to war than those guys. It's like they're playing a Football game.

The first one was killed by media in general, with some reason we must say, but despite the huge technical flaws, annoying bugs and screams, I loved it. So this one must be da bomb.

I remember watching a leak of this about a week ago on youtube, though the resolution is much better on this one. I'm still pumped about it though.

Fucking terrible characters.

I hate this growing trend of characterization of the military. You got one sports-crazy testosterone-laden black guy who probably likes rap and shit, a straight-laced commander with a dry wit, and a spunky something-or-other.

Call of Duty 4, Gears of War 1/2, and.. I dunno, some others I think. It's driving me nuts. Why are these people considered decent characters?

Is it only me or did that ad pop up about 3-4 times during that clip. Really annoying. None the less, I am very impressed with the intro and the gameplay footage that i've seen. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.
