I'm sorry but we really need better quality video.

What I see there though does not impress.

Granted, far more impressive is 60 player online and 8 player co-op.

omg!!! BOTH GAMES ARE GONNA ROCK!!!

Is it me, or did the audio get screwed up in the middle of the vid?

Just saw the second video.

I hate pr speak. That guy is so full of shit.

I bet both of these games suck balls compared to COD4.

as if I heard him saying.. 'ill be back'

@balls187++: What, you mean when he becomes Satan?

That was a screw up?

Killzone? They should call it Grayzone! Zing!

Seriously, though, looks chaotic. In a good way. Hopefully they pull it off and it plays as well as CoD4's chaos.

Was the audio bit intentional?

Or maybe Insomniac isnt entirely human... it would explain their incredible high level of quality...

Alien invasion for incredible games... hmm.. good trade off

@balls187++: I highly doubt that. Killzone, maybe. Resistance, there's no way.

@balls187++:

Cod4 isn't all that great to begin with fun yes but Socom> COd4

The quality of these video's are horrible. It sucks they couldn't make it better.

It's amazing how time removes the awe from something. Killzone looks average to pretty good now.

Pre CoD4/GoW...etc, it looked like it would be the next step in graphics. Really gives me respect for how beautiful CoD4 is in motion. Hopefully these deliver on the gameplay side.

This video is cruel and unusual punishment. I can kind of see the games, but the low quality makes it look like someone caked gobs of Vaseline on my eyeballs. When can we expect a HD version?

Is it just me or is Ted Price's voice going slow-mo and getting warbly?

Too bad the videos had a ton compression artifacts so we can't see the graphics detail. I look forward to both of those PS3 exclusives though.

I'm cautiously optimistic about these games, with two reservations.

I'll always reserve judgment on Sony products until they hit the shelves. I've been bitten by the hype bug too often only to find out the hype bug was prerendered or other such tomfoolery.

I also am a bit disappointed with the visual similarity between both of these games.

Neither one of these looks that great. They look like they're trying to capture the chaos of CoD4, which I didn't really get into, either.

I can feel the evil vibes from their voices. O_O;

Anyway, they both look good. Glad they're not going to rush Killzone 2...this game is one game that CANNOT disappoint now.

I guess the developers of Killzone 2 really love the song Mr Jones. Especially the line
''Yea well you know grey is my favourite colour.'' In fact I get the feeling all they do when developing is listen to that 4second clip over and over.

Looking at the animation and physics on Killzone...wow. As much as I love COD4, Killzone looks a lot better.

Horrible quality vids... Can't wait until thursday... Hopefully there's vids up on PSN, because this is just horrible...

What I THOUGHT I MAY have seen on Resistance 2 looked pretty cool, but I won't know until I see it in high def.

The demonic voice made these two videos pretty funny. Resistance 2 is looking pretty good and I'm interested in how the multiplayer turns out. From what I'm hearing it sounds nothing less than epic.

However, for Killzone the video quality was so poor that I couldn't see all of the details. All I saw was a blur of "next-gen" gray.

@balls187++: You bet or you hope?

Horrible quality to make any judgments, but at the very least we now know when Killzone 2 is coming.

Damn those videos are harsh on the eyes. I liked the Satan voice though

the video quality is terrible, not even worth clicking on that vid.

@balls187++:
/begin sarcasm/
your right! because i for got you got to play both games in their final build... jeez you should have not left that IMPORTANT detail.
/end sarcasm/

and to those screaming about the videos. its obvious to that these vids will eventually crawl their way in hd via gametrailers, or ign. im suprised i even have to explain this, am i on kotaku? or some other site trapped in a dimension?

Killzone 2 may become a casualty of FPS overload though. I kind of feel that way right now.

Killzone 2...I remember a couple of years ago when anyone who said that it would look in the ballpark of that first video was off their rocker..

@DigitalHero: This is why I hate gamevideos.com. Gametrailers is much better, but they don't have the content up yet.

On the second vid, the guy said "February of next year"... so February 2009, Killzone 2 will be out.

That's the European date, right? (inferred since the Sony day thing is in London) So the US date will be by Christmas?

I'm reserving judgment until the final build of Killzone 2 at my home and on my tv. I just don't want to be let down...know what I mean?

i hate when they cram large #'s of people into online, especially over 20... i mean unless the boards are like... i dont know... the size of gta... thats just too much crap for any tactics or strategy it's just spray and pray

@phantam: Why couldn't you just read about the game before commenting? There's an article a few posts below which reads: "it will also be structured in a way to bring back a sense of intimacy. There will be squads within these mammoth fights, making the game feel more personal and filled with skirmishes instead of giant, faceless wars."

Even with the vid quality these games still look pretty impressive. These both have been moved up on my radar.

@balls187++: you suck balls compared to resistance

i'll get em both, but where is the COLOR?

i hate how brown all these shooters are...the original resistance, r2, killzone, mgs4.

i have an hdtv for a reason, so use all the vivid colors it can produce.

Some gamers are so critical to SONY ecxlusive titles. I for one love my 360 because FPS title look and play better IMO of course.But I own all the current systems so for sure I WILL be picking up both of these titles. I just wish I could use my 360 controller on my PS3 just because I hate the dual analogs so close to each other. But in any case these games are great to have in a collection if the video is any real indication to what we PS3 owners will have that the 360 doesn't. The bad new for SONY is that they keep pushing games back and that just give 360 more and more time to get better looking and playing games on there system. I think SONY will always be playing the catch up game this time around. So much for this being th PS3's year.

And the award for worst quality, graniest videos goes to.....GameVideos

@caleb: Yes I do I really tried to like Killzone 1 but had a hard time controlling the game and the graphics while good for the time were all washed out and gave me a headache after only a few minuted of playing. Online was broken, yuk. I have high hope for the series, we do need more than just CoD for FPS games that are rock solid.

Too bad the videos are just captures. I can't wait till official videos are posted on the web.

You have got to laugh at people who compare graphics to other games on these piss poor quality videos.

Why did Arnold start dubbing both videos at the half-way mark?

These videos need the HD treatment ASAP. I know they're beautiful...I just can't SEE!

@dh4645: If you want color might I recommend Ratchet and Clank or Uncharted. Both have beautiful saturated color tones.

For Resistance/Killzone, I think the developers were going for a washed-out and grainy tone. The game having bright and vibrant colors would take away from that.

@thegunshow: I can't see the videos yet, but I will say one of the most impressive things to me this gen has been the smoothness of transitional animation in some games. Gears of War and ut3 looked great in stills but in motion the animation transitions were not as amazing as the work that went into the art and they still felt a bit 'video gamey'. COD4 has some amazing animations, and KZ2 trailer did as well. To me character animation is under-appreciated in giving weight and realism to video game characters. I notice when this broken how jarring it is when everything else looks and feels more realistic. To be fair to games that don't achieve this it is a pretty difficult task.

Wow that second guy is a PS3 propaganda machine. IT WILL BE YOUR FAVORITE SYSTEM/GAME/LIFE!!!

Killzone 2 looks interesting. Resistance 2 looks a bit like a generic version of COD4. The idea of huge multiplayer battles is appealing though.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who notices how many cues Resistance 2 has taken from Call of Duty 4? (Arcade-like points popping up with kills; precise aiming; etc.)

@JorgieX:I almost had a hard-on dude. Well we all appreciate your love for the 360 but maybe you should express this love to, you know, Microsoft (write them a letter or something), instead of flamebaiting with your fanboy comments. R2 promises to be bigger than any online game on the "superior" Live and Killzone 2 has already been praised many times for its graphics and its physics. Killzone 1 was on the PS2, years ago. This is Killzone 2, and it promises to kick ass. Everyone talking shit about it (unless of course, they PLAYED it) is just 360 fanboys hoping for it to fail.

@leoPirate: Maybe no one else... cares? CoD4 is this gen what Halo was last: a FPS that does everything RIGHT. Nothing impressive, just right. I think it's smart that people going for the impressiveness try to also do it right, like Kojima and Insomniac.

ahhh such great gold nuggets crecente, to brighten my adderall poppin final study days of a crap freshmen year , academicwise. what a promising time for multiplatform owners hehehe lilbigplanet, gears of war2, fable2, killzone2, resistance 2, alot of twos.

A big bag of Meeeeh from me.

Killzone 1 sucked, why should I care for 2? I didn't even seem interested in the trailer. Resistance 2 on the other hand looks very good.

Hmm, I can see the media jumping all over the clip where the guys is talking about Killzone 2 hehehe...

@zanzibarlegend:
First it's "you're" not "your."

Second, don't be a fanboy.

@nolifedopestar (PSN: noliferuin): Fanboy.

@budash2: Don't believe the hype. Compare IW's record for delivering high quality FPS and look at the other two shops. COD1, COD2 and COD4.

@slomo788: After R:FOM do you really think the 2nd one will be far more ground breaking? And KZ2? Overhyped and going to be gimmicky at best.

@DugDawg: 60 player MP sounds good.

You have to hope that developers will put in smaller maps, and that PSN will iron out it's multiplayer issues.

Made me wonder if that's Resistance I'm seeing XD.
The shields were interesting, and wtf was that vision while the player was human? Ah, it must be the Cloven gameplay.
The video-demo would be cooler if they showed more of what R1 multiplayer was. Here everyone just shot mindlessly with projectiles, old-school way >_<
It was nice that the lightmaps were at least half-done, you'd be startled if you saw them unlit (pure flat diffuse) :P

@balls187++: Alright. I should not reply to you, but I will. Half of your post is screams of "fanboy!" to people that pointed out that ou were the the one dissing a game you barely know anything about, except the graphics, which everyone will agree, are impressive. Even if they didn't improve the graphics, the story was intriguing enough and the online features impressive enough for me to say that yes, it will be ground breaking. The first one was not (except the amazing online) ground breaking, but still a fantastic launch shooter, and I can't think of any 360 game that qualify as a fantastic shooter until Gears. Again, you know nothing about KZ2 and at this point you're just hoping that it fails to feel better about buying a 360. Do everybody a favor, and take the fanboyism elsewhere. Any real gamer can appreciate quality games wherever they are. If you want to satisfy your ego instead, please, GTFO.

R2 looks good, nothing new but taken to a new level. K2 looks like it was programed by a crack team of the profoundly colorblind, the game would have to be amazing to not seem boring in the balance.

all i saw was yawn inducing
