As the latest Electronic Gaming Montly hits subscribers, details on the upcoming PS3 exclusive Killzone 2 are leaking onto the net. A few facts include Guerrilla’s use of the Cell processor as well as background updates on a few of the returning characters from the Killzone universe.
According to the 12 page preview in EGM, Killzone 2 will be utilizing a whopping four and a half of the six cores in the Cell processor. For technically a first generation title (it’s Guerrilla’s first PS3 game), that’s quite remarkable.
“Sony basically has an international forum for sharing character technology, animation tools and graphics shaders." said Guerrilla Games’ Technical Directer Michiel van der Leeuw. "We’ve even taken a few tricks directly from the Resistance guys at Insomniac, and we’ve even been talking directly to the God of War guys in Santa Monica."
Other details from the magazine preview:
– There will be more than just the Arc Cannon when it comes to Helgast weather-controlling weapons
– Don’t expect all the levels to appear the same, some levels will highlight the "natural beauty" of Helghan
– Templar is now a Colonel and commands a Cruiser called New Sun
