Here's what I don't fully understand. I thought these Helghast were mutated humans or something and had to wear masks because of the conditions on their home world. How come humans are running around with their faces completely exposed?

THIS IS LIVING!

If people think those are in-game graphics, they're retarded. Just like the video that was around before, I mean, you could tell they were pre-rendered. That trailer was good, though it really should show some gameplay considering the game's release is right around the corner. After playing the beta and watching a number of in-game videos, it's pretty obvious that the game is DAMN pretty. I want this game a LOT more than I thought I would. I cannot wait.

yeah that trailer looked pretty awesome... I hope it actually HAS a story though.

If I remember correctly Halo 3 and Resistance 2 trailers hinted at this deep story and yet after playing all I got out of it was "aliens are here kill em' all"

Call of Duty 4 actually made me WANT to keep playing rather than just being a short distraction from multiplayer shootan.

Sw33t!

Looks like FMV to me. Not that KZ2 isn't impressive, I just don't think it can look that good. That's like next-gen smoke and lighting effects.

I too don't think these videos help much... they're just cutscenes. I mean all games should have trailers like these, but they should always come coupled with gameplay footage to get the REAL hype :D

Anyways, I just wish this was on PC.

I believe in a prior gameplay clip, we saw the opening level, and a direct transition from cutscene to gameplay. I don't think any of the second video is prerendered. More likely, it uses in-game cutscenes. KZ2 is just very pretty.

@linuxguy:

Yes it's a shooter, but they clearly are going for an epic feel to the game.

Here's what it says on Wikipedia:
"Except for a small number of half-breed Helghast and trained troopers, they require a gas mask and air processing tank that creates air similar to that found on the planet Helghan"

The developers obviously put some thought into the backstory, why would they blatantly contradict what they've already established?

And if the masks they wear mimic the environment on Helghan, shouldn't they not be wearing these masks at all?

If you're going to create a world that is supposed to be immersive, shouldn't you at least make it consistent?

" Is it just a pretty face on a mediocre game? "

Sigh..:/

I guess if this game was made by Infinity Wards,you guys would call it super awesome with a face of an angel.

Thanks for uploading the trailers anyways.

@sicknasty
I'd guess most of their equipment is designed for other environments. They've invaded other planets at least twice, presumably during the First Helgahn War and on Vekta Colony, and with the authoritarian government invading is far more likely than fighting at home. It's probably just become standard issue, and being protected from gas and the psychological impact doesn't hurt either.

Mostly I think it's so they look like super techo space nazis, but who knows what the masks can do. They probably have night vision and shit on them.

@Trev:

That's EXACTLY the reason the developers keep the masks on them. To make them look cool and to give the game a recognizable look.

It's just annoying to me when a developer tries so hard make their game cool and dark while being completely illogical.

A pretty face on mediocre gameplay is still a pretty damn good game.

@ sicknasty

So you don't want the enemies or the game to look "co0l"

What kind of fukin gamer are you?
I guess you don't like those "cool" guys in starcraft or Halo?

FUNNNN!!!

@Sicknasty

So what doesn't make sense in Killzone2? :/..Double standards-I really hate it.

Lol.. I was going to say that it's just funny to me that everyone hates on this game,but fails to recognize that the dev made a great job and it's nothing like it's predecessor

If you want your answers go look it up,or play the first killzone.

@HeyYou:

Read ALL of my comments. I did look up stuff and I said so in my earlier posts. I clearly outline the stuff that doesn't make sense.

I'm not 'hating' on the game and I don't doubt the effort put in the game.

It's just silly that everyone overlooks broken logic just because it is a AAA title, but if a movie were to be this illogical it would not be so praised.

@mix:

To me it's not overthinking at all. These Hellghast and the planet of Hellghan are such a massive part of the game. It's right in your face.

I don't accept that "it's just a video game" line. Seeing these overly dramatic trailers and the epic storyline being set up, do you really think the developers are thinking 'oh this is just a video game'

It would be a different matter entirely if the game was intentionally over-the-top and light-hearted. I want people to expect MORE from games, not just blindly accept logical flaws.

I've played the pre-alpha and was in the multiplayer beta. My personal opinion is that the game plays fantastic. The weapons feel good, gameplay is intense, and I had fun. That’s key! The warzone mode in multiplayer was unique and kept the action fast and furious with its random objectives. The kills are satisfying and ragdoll is awesome. What more do you people want from a FPS. To some, it may seem like they've not made a whole lot of innovations to the FPS genre but it's a really refined game and a fun experience. Guerrilla really went through with a fine tooth comb and it looks like they've made some subtitle improvements with the feedback for the videos I’ve seen of the final build. They've taken some of the best from the FPS genre and applied a slick coat of paint and a whole lot of attention to detail. There's nothing wrong with that. Crysis didn't really bring anything new to FPS but it was a refined game and it sure as hell looked pretty if you had the hardware to run it. Guerrilla is just doing the same for PS3. I’m excited for it and so should you!

I don't understand people judging gameplay from the videos but If you want to "see" game play, check GT's preview:

"So the humans are invading a planet like that, but are not wearing ANY kind of breathing masks.... "

haha, good point.

Very pretty I think I might pull out killzone:liberation out of my closet...

I'm not even going to respond to someone saying that they need to show In-game footage.

I've seen enough. I know enough. I've PLAYED enough. Killzone 2 is going to stay in my PS3 for months and months.

If you want to see some IN-GAME development footage you might want to check out [url=www.gamekings.tv]Gamekings.tv[/url]. Look at video's and look for the 2nd one. It's in Dutch but you'll see some incredible behind the scenes footage. No spoilers. Only a short look a certain levels.

Killzone 2 is my game of 2009.

@Big Bad Wolf, I played it, and it's better than any MP game since COD4.

I just had to pick my jaw up off the floor.
