SCEE Confirms Killzone 2 Demo Details
Despite an amount of US-side, Internet-driven misinformation regarding the Killzone 2 demo only being available to pre-ordering gamers, SCEE has now confirmed details of the pre-launch demo for Europe.

"...this will be live on the PSN store on Thursday 5th February (same day as SCEA) across all SCEE PSN locales.

"The content of the demo will be the first two sections of 'Corinth River' the first level of the game (beach landing and warehouse) so will include the same tutorial sequence as per the final game."

So, there you go.

I just checked and it seems the devs took shortcuts with the graphics, environments are not very good infact there aren't even any shadows...To make it worse the flames or fire in the game does not even reflect off of anything nor does it have a shadow either.

So no shadowing, no dynamic lighting, no HDR.

Actually compared to Halo 3 this game lacks a lot of technology and I mean graphical technology.

The game itself go look at the ingame videos and the actual final build based on the gameplay I have seen it and its all missing.

Don't worry, he checked with his imaginary friend, Bernard. It's the classic console-fanboy FUD tactic. As a 360 supporter, it's his job (apparently) to find fault with every AAA PS3 title because he's insecure about more than one console having an awesome title.

SS4, no offence mate but I'd rather trust a review like SPOnG's in terms of how technically accomplished it is than your obviously biased impressions of massively compressed video. :P

I laugh in your face, the top review site for me is IGN first and foremost.

Also I again watched ingame footage high quality feed of direct ingame and if you look you will notice a few things, there are shadows in some areas but in other major areas where there should be shadows there are none. Also the lighting does not seem to reflect off of anything it appears to just be there.
Colour wise its very grey, Gears of war 1 pulled off the dark mury grey look very well along with high res textures and HDR and superb lighting effects.

I am not being a fanboy I very much want to play this game but it could have looked a lot better, the character modelling also is not that great either especially the facial expressions on some characters being absolutly ridiculous with jokeresq mouths.

"I am not being a fanboy "

And yet that is exactly what you are.
