Helghast in HD – Killzone 2 Ads Hit TV

Thank you all for your support and confidence in Killzone 2. Its debut starts a relentless flood of AAA exclusives on the PlayStation 3 – a line up that I consider to be our strongest yet. And I am confident this game will inspire many of you who’ve been waiting for the right time to buy a PS3. It is a true testament to what “Only on PlayStation” means.

We’re excited the promise of Killzone 2 has been realized and has exceeded expectations due to the tireless efforts and dedication of Guerrilla Games. I can’t thank the development team enough for remaining true to the vision and producing one of the most impressive games in recent memory – on any platform. The pre-order numbers only reinforce your great enthusiasm for the game and we’re pleased the game reviews show the same.

A group of us flew out to meet with the development team in late 2008 for a product meeting – we had an idea for a fresh way to promote the game. It was to bring the incredible detail in Killzone 2 to life by showcasing the game’s technology – only made possible by the power of the PS3.

The idea for the commercial centered on telling the story of war on Helghan - up close and very personal and to use the game’s engine to show it. No voodoo, no heavy metal soundtrack: just the true representation of the in-game graphics. The team at Guerrilla embraced the concept and we were on a production rollercoaster ride that produced a piece that will be broadcasted across several networks starting tomorrow. You’ll get the chance to see it here for the first time:

We’ll also have the digital version available on the PlayStation Network later today.

At the risk of stating the obvious – the Killzone 2 engine is phenomenally powerful. To offer you some insight into the technology behind this game, we will release a playable version of this in-engine ad vignette on the PlayStation Network coming in March. You’ll be able to control the camera and hear director commentary on how the production was completed using only the game’s technology. The project codename is “Killzone in 4-D” – hope you can check it out.

Thanks again for keeping the faith – it means a lot to the team here at PlayStation. Enjoy playing Killzone 2 on February 27th !!

I quite like it, not bad! Little bit different, but not as different as the usual Sony "lets make an advert that makes no sense".

By the way, this

is ****ing sweet.

Just placed my order with ShopTo. I'm off work with glandular fever, so I hope my copy arrives early too.

edit: Turns out they've stopped pre-orders, despite their claims that if you order before the 25th you'll receive it in time for release. What shall I do?

Pre-orders have stopped due to volume - The 2 day thing is only applicable to pre-orders that don't go "out of stock" :p

You can either pre-order the steel LE on shopto for ?32.99 or order the standard edition for ?29.99 on Play - http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...-2/Product.html [you get some exclusive theme as well for pre-ordering]

Just saw an advert here in the UK on Channel 4. First it had the PS3 branding, then it followed with flashing shots of Helghast running across a bridge, then an uncloacking Helghast sniper and finally a shot of Radec and his men looking over Helghan before the clip ended with the release date and game name. It was pretty short, but quite effective. :)

I think I'll opt for Play, thanks for he heads up.

why did GameInformer.com only give it a 8.75 ?

Because journalists can award games whatever score they want.

Second take is a 9.0 if you care that much.

#1. Why do you have that many copies?

#2. Can you send me one?

You actually think they are my pics? Cmon dude, why would I have 30 copies of the LE KZ2 bundle :p

By the way, full UK advert here - http://threespeech.com/blog/2009/02/killzo...l-length-tv-ad/

Starts airing Monday - The 10 second add that's on TV just now is just a teaser.

Also, the video I talked about earlier airing at 5pm

Here you go everyone - the making of Killzone 2. A behind the scenes look at how Guerilla created such a powerful sense of immersion in Killzone 2?

Pretty cool, right? But that?s not all, we?ll have a second installment on Monday at 5pm, along with loads more Killzone 2 content during the rest of the week! If you want to be the first in the know about Killzone 2, make sure you keep checking back?

Pretty cool looking video.

Why has it taken so long for the advert on air TV? A whole 4/5 days before release isn't really worthy of this game. They should have started this campaign a fortnight ago.

Sony needs to sort their marketing department out fast.

People can buy the game after launch day you know...

As long as it frequents on TV, nothing wrong with ~week before launch. Showing the add too early isn't going to help much either. The teaser add which is 10 seconds long started a few nights ago, Monday rolls out the full 30 second.

Pre-orders for EU alone were already at 1.1million a month or so back, the games going to do well, no need to worry :p

Just placed my order with ShopTo. I'm off work with glandular fever, so I hope my copy arrives early too.

awww man! how **** and unappreciated is glandular fever!

I had it for like 6 months and lost my job and people used to be like... but its only glandular fever.

I wish they could have had it to see what it was like!

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
