    New build looks better! This makes me confident that the final build will be perfection!:-)

    Haven't seen this yet.

    The lighting effects, to me, have greatly improved among other things.

    This was on ps3fanboy so we may get a pre release demo after all

    European gamers will be able to access a pre-release Killzone 2 demo on the PlayStation Store, no strings attached. SCEE didn't provide any specific dates, but told Videogamer.com that the demo will be released in a "normal manner."

    New Build looks sharper but I like the coloring of the old build better.  The new build has a green tint to everything.  But the definition is more important so I guess it is an improvement.

     Yea the lighting looks better but I really wish they'd keep some of those colors! I thought the game looked so sweet cause it always had the oranges and blues!

     I guess i shall have to wait but to me it just looks like another dark, gloomy FPS.

    But i'm not a fan of FPS because they are usually all the same, just dark, gloomy and very linear dogmatic gameplay.

    MGS4 was the last game of that nature i played, agreed that was third person.

    A few more texture details & a pumped gamma filter, just about right :)

    its just the setting on he screen u rendered it from i hate it when they do these comparisons. any one who has ever owned a tv an used the menu to ajust color light and sharpness can get two diffrent pics lic these to compare a waist of time really.

    It just looks like the collor corrected the game, not necessarily a graphical improvement.

    oh yes it actually looks better. especially the first pic. look at the ear and the towers in the background. much better lighting. and also the african american's face. much better looking!

    there doesnt seem to be too many changes, just alot of polishing...esp with the shadowing effects, which look really sharp
