Three new Killzone 2 screenshots have surfaced on the Internet this morning, one of which shows off the impressive work Guerilla Games has done to provide amazingly realistic ground textures.

Notice the definition of each individual rock and the glistening lighting effect in the pools of water. This is just one of many visual highlights the hotly anticipated sequel promises to deliver upon its release in February 2009.

Check out the screenshots below.

    good that developers are geting to grips with the ps3 hardware. i want to know how good it is to play, not just to look at!

    I agree with Limmex, The graphics look great, let's see how the game plays and see if all this hype is worth it. Maybe a beta or a downloadable demo in the near future would be nice.

    this game will show how much the Unreal engine 3 sucks, which is used for almost every FPS with choppy framerate, slowdown, over loading RAM on consoles, perfect example: area51.blacksite, brothers in arm h ells highway.

    wow, usually i also care about gameplay, but when it looks this good...i almost wanna play it JUST to look at it, Gameplay to me is important, but for some reason im not worried about it when i see screens of this game

    and remember all. Screenshots dont do games justice anymore, jus wait till we see it moving

    Sounds like alot of impressive distractions to get shot... JK, props to the devs.

    it will be very disapointing if sony don't license this engine out to other ps3 developers, as the game is looking stunning.  Far superior to the 2005 demo.  I can see myself wasting hours just staring at the graphics.

    I have to agree with zarajoe, everyone has talked about the E3 video from 2005 and how it was all faked. Look at the development of this game and the graphics and style have surpassed that video by leaps and bounds. As a person who loved the first game I can't wait for Feb 09.

    Killzone 2 and G.O.W 3 will take the ps3 a huge step further than the xbox360.

    i'm probably going to get flamed by the pc tech heads here but ive played crysis on high settings and this game looks better im sorry but it does, not to say crysis isnt a technical feat because that game does look amazing but this game does top it

    daaaaaammmmm....I can't wait to see what this will look like on my 46 inch LCD. I wonder if it will run in 1080p?

  39. NoMercy666 | Ask me...

    • 5:33pm BST - October 3rd, 2008

    Looks quite nice nothing different to games out now, lets see some mist hovering above the floor and bubbling gasses in puddles etc like you would in DX10.gamesif it cant be done on the PS3 then its old hardware already.

    I think the PS4 should have changeable hardware like a PC so developer can upgrade the graphics after a couple of years and all we need to do is update the video processer. and for those who dont upgrade it will have to play games on normal textures while the upgraded versions can use more textures more layers ect. just a though.

    @41

    wtf.. people buy consoles so they dont have to pay 200$ every year or two to upgrade their PC

    ----------

    @38

    as i heard before it only runs at 720P and 30 frames per sec

  43. PS3sR2DEAR

    • 8:31pm BST - October 3rd, 2008

    Awsome, I'm all for Visual Excellence, but, do characters 'moonwalk' or 'slide' their feet on the ground in games still ? This has been a realism annoyance ive had for years....

    If this is real time, Xbots can say not another word about graphics.  HOLY  CRIZZOLIES! Also, the enviroment in the second screen is one of the enviroments that never gets old for me; i am reminded slightly of the first mission of MOHAA, actually.

    that "guy on a motorcycle" is probably just a big turd they are shipping, see how it's on a skid/pallet? Killzone 2: Turd Sculpting
