Killzone 2 game director Mathijs de Jonge has moved to reassure punters that the hotly anticipated FPS maintains “a rich and varied colour palette,” following initial criticism that the game was a little on the ‘grey’ side.
"The first images that we released were just from one level that was still in early production,” de Jonge told CVG, adding, “and I can assure you that the final game has a very rich and varied colour palette – and still manages to maintain that gritty and realistic look and feel."
Furthermore, de Jonge also observed a “striking” difference between the visual quality and production values of the Guerrilla Games sequel to that of other shooters on the market:
"We’ve managed to push so far in all areas that this game feels like a next generation game. When I go home at night after a long day of work I play other shooters to relax, and although I certainly enjoy playing them, the difference in graphical quality, production values and the experience itself, is striking,” he said.
Killzone 2 is due for release in North America on February 27.
