Killzone 2? I thought that it was developed by the Dutch development team Guerilla Games (despite the DIE awards being from the UK.) Or are these awards international?

Isnt the technical innovation award a bit of a one-horse race? Because Killzone 2 just destroys the other nominees, amazing how till late 2007 Guerilla were being laughed at, but what a game engine they have produced.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I've played Fable 2 and GTA, used Home to join some games and watch some trailers, haven't used the Football Manager thing, but I really don't see a remarkable technical achievement* in anything but Killzone and it's slew of graphical filters. I've seen some machinima done in KZ and god damn, it is a good looking game. Maybe the other games/apps did something more behind the scenes.



*Before anyone gets touchy about it, I'm not trying to make a qualitative judgment of the games as a whole, I just don't see the super fancy technology.

There was a presentation on this, makes interesting reading even though cant understand half of it
http://www.guerrilla-games.com/publications/dr_kz2_rsx_dev07.pdf

What is most interesting is slide 45 onward where they show SPU useage, they barely used 40-50% of their power (this was before final build though, way back in early 2008 I think)

Rockstar deserves any and every nomination they get for Chinatown Wars. I've spent about a week just playing around with the game just as a sandbox just seeing how far it can be pushed. The level of detail is just insane for a game running on the DS and is destined to become a standard by which all other titles on the system will be compared with.

And this was my impression even before going into the story! (which in turn unlocks even more elements in the game itself...)

I can't even imagine what it would take to top it...

Rockstar has a reputation for that on every console, they believe in nothing but perfection
