Justin Lee brings a great video from E3 2008, he interviews Kyle Shubel a managing producer from Sony. it’s great to see the range of weapons, and to hear that you will be driving tanks and other vehicles through out the game. Also the AI for your team members has really been improved, now they will notice you hiding and create cover, rather than just drones following you around the place. Kyle talks us through the first level and discusses the new 32 multi player option that will be on the PS3 Game.

Basically the new multiplayer options will revolve between different types of games, i.e. capture the flag, search and destroy, etc.

Thanks to John for the tip off [1] ! Remeber if you have anything you would like us to cover about Killzone 2, please use the contact form !

P.S. Kyle confirmed that the release date of Killzone 2 will be February 2009.

Killzone2 Desktop Wallpaper

TalkPlaystation has published some really awesome screenshots from Killzone2. The lighting, shading and depth of colors really make the game look good. I was really impressed with the images. Simply the amount of detail on things, like walls , the ground are far superior to anything I’ve ever seen on a PS3 game.These images are a massive 1280px by 720px, so they are large enough to set as your desktop wall paper.

In fact I think I am going to use this one as my wallpaper.

Here is a another cool video of a showing the game play in Killzone 2. I love how realistic the reloading of the guns is, and how the gun moves as the character moves. It really makes you think you are doing the walking ! Also in this video you see alot of the reloading of guns, and how they are animated. The weapons in Killzone2 look incredible. I can’t wait. Also at the end you see the character turning a wheel from something or other.

Here is the album art for Killzone 2. This game will be definitely take advantage of the PS3’s BlueRay storage capacity. These disks can hold over 2 gigabytes and we’re sure that every last memory location will be used. It’s amazing to see level of detail in the character models and how they are animated.This truly will be the game of 2008 and it comes from the imagination of Guerrilla Games.

Today I came across a great document that outlines how they improved the graphics in KillZone 2, it shows how all the different shading and rendering happens. If you ever wanted to know the difference between forward and deferred rendering in computer games then this will help you.

Topics covered included in this presentation:

Light Optimization
Sun Rendering
Sun – Real-Time Shadows
MSAA Lighting

IGN looks forward to Killzone 2

Kevin Kelly — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 07:39:12 +0000

Every year the games website IGN lists their top anticipated games. Their article here lists Killzone 2 only after Grand Theft Auto IV and LittleBigPlanet.

Why?: While some of the design elements and intense shootouts look like great fun, I’m more interested in this for the technical aspects to see what the PlayStation 3 can really do. The lighting effects and animation quality look absolutely amazing, and if it takes off like we expect it to, the game should raise the visual bar across the system. Let’s just hope the gameplay is as strong as the graphics, and that Guerilla can deliver a great online experience to boot.

If there is one game you buy this year, we would have to recommend Killzone 2. The superior graphics really take advantage of the image processing that PS3 can handle.
