It looks like our coverage of the Gamer's Day is now almost done, so we decided to reencode our Killzone 2 footage with the best quality possible. Full 720p resolution and better deinterlacing/deblending helps quite a bit to see the little details everywhere. I'm sure the numerous fans of the game will be pleased!

Watch the gameplay, the game is smooth as, and it looks awesome! The trailer clip (first link above) shows off some nice stuff as well.

Think this is the best looking game on a console to date, and it still has 9 months left in production!

After watching the videos, what does everyone else think?

12 minutes of footage, shows the intro to the level as well - http://www.jeux-france.com/news26836_image...killzone-2.html

Not as good quality as the above captures, but it's nice to see the intro :D

Yeah, because tons of blur, bland textures and sophisticated lighting is impossible to do.

Wow you make the graphics sound just great :D

Sorry, but I don't think anyone can diss the graphics here on a console, especially of a game 9 months before release - Which for whatever reason does still say pre-alpha. The game isn't eye popping on the colour pallet side of things, but they look great.

As for "blur", it's more fast moving things going in-and out of focus, something I've not really seen any other game do. Watch when reloading a gun, I think it's a great effect.

:rofl:

I don't think so. It is looking to be a slightly better Gears of War and for a game almost 3 years into making, this is expected. I guess by the time it is out, GoW2 would have surpassed it easily?

The game has never had a release date before. People said 2008 but the developers never confirmed anything. It would be tough on the RFOM2 developers to put both these titles out within a month, they are competing against competition from other platforms, not themselves - However I doubt many people will care about that, and just go slap some diss towards Sony due to the game not coming out in 2008.

As for the graphics, say whatever you want, but I've certainly not played anything FPS wise on a console that looks MORE impressive than this.

feb 09?

I tought this was going to make it for the PS3 in 2008 :\

Reminds me of the PS3 song ... "killzone 1 .. sucked before .. so what made you think we wanted more..."

Not to be biased or anything .. but delayed .. again? sigh

For it to be delayed, the developers would have had to have given us a release date. They didn't. Its not delayed at all, its finally been given a release date.

I have no doubt that this game is going to kill. It has looked incredible since it was unveiled. Too bad its still so far off though the Playstation could really use an exclusive killer app sooner rather than later, I think announcing it that far off is going to disappoint a lot of people, I know I am.

am I the only one noticing that the smoke in the first screenshots (the ones that look like real gameplay) is being rendered at half the original resolution?

Did you miss the part that said that its not set to release till feb NEXT year? :rolleyes:

From the pictures, it doesn't really look that impressive, but i am gonna have to see it running at 720p to judge it, some GoW pictures make the game look bland but when you actually see it running its Jaw dropping (at least back when it was released)

Uh well watch the videos then, there is 3 links to them :p

I agree KZ2 looks great.

But it almost felt like I was watching COD4 gameplay. Aside from the weapon looking/sounding the same, It too has the same monotone color look to it. That's always bugged me about games. Probably a reason I was never drawn to Gears of War. Oh, and from what I could tell the voicing sounded similar too. Big rough necks for lack of a better word. Seems to want to appeal to Americans? I dunno. It really should have its own style and look. Yes, yes its still about a year away, so here's hoping they make proper changes. Graphically it looks top-notch.

The colours are what you would expect from the location during a war though, are they not? I agree, its very grey, but I think it looks and feels superb.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
