Here in Argentina we say 'Holanda' only, so i was a little lost with the Dutch thing.

We also say Holanda in Portugal. :)

We also say "Países Baixos" (paises bajos in spanish perhaps?) for Netherlands but it's not used very often. When we say Holanda we generally mean Netherlands even if it's not strictly true, because:

Holy cow, thats incredible. I guess not all of the hype by Sony about the Cell was false after all.
 
:lol showed some of the videos to my friend and the first thing out of his mouth was "Are... are those the actual graphics?!" (He thought it was CG at first)
 
This could actually be the first big revolutionary sequel since Street fighter 2. Everything is just a huge leap from the first one. I can't wait myself, and that some are already previewing it saying it could be a contender for GOTY '09, is amazing to me.

Hype train to the stratosphere.........:D
 
Shit, I'm hearing Podcast Beyond and hype is through the roof. I thought this build we're seeing was basically a current or almost finished one but according to the IGN guys who were in Amsterdam (hmmm, Amsterdam, could they have been high lol) it's somewhat old and the current version looks better and smoother.

The bind moggles.
 
Holy lord.

I don't ever remember a game surprising me as much as this one.

Seriously, I get fooled every time I open any KZ2 threads. I usually leave them thinking, "it can't get any better than this, it looks amazing" then the next update comes along and I'm left fooled again.

:lol

Guerilla reads GAF, don't they?

RE5 comes out in March, the demo was released yesterday (to Japan).

Killzone 2 comes out in February.

.... Get the picture, punks?

The level of nitpicking with the game is fucking ridiculous...
It just amuses me how other titles are not put under such a microscope.

I feel bad for the guys over at GG, because they have put together an amazing visual feat with this title & still have to post explanations for the idiots nitpicking every damn polygon.

Get a fucking life...

I love you!!
 
I just saw the videos from RE5 demo. Sorry to bring this up on this thread, but after seeing and hearing the guns from kz 2, when somebody shoots in RE5 it sounds like a toy gun now. So ridiculous. :lol

There's a dutch article on KZ2 (here) that claims the SPUs 'freeing up' the GPU has allowed it (the GPU) to do 50% more than it otherwise would have. (At least, I think that's what it's saying..)

Numbers like that in and of themselves aren't very helpful, but I think it's safe to say that this is one of the higher end titles in terms of utilising Cell for added visual punch (both in terms of what it's adding itself, and in freeing up the GPU to do even more).

Will third parties be able to copy guerillas techniques to make their own games look as good on the ps3?

I really really doubt it from what we've seen from them so far. The most impressive visually game from 3rd parties was MGS4, and even that doesn't bode well against Uncharted and especially KZ2. Sony's 1st parties are really good at making everyone else look like they suck. Now we have this hitting, Uncharted 2, GT5, and GoW3 in the wings, they're only going to continue to make 3rd parties look even more inferior. It's like how you can usually pic out 1st party nintendo efforts compared to 3rd party, but it's amplified well beyond that.
 
just watched the bolt gun video again.....WOW!! After a shot watch the smoke from the barrel.....it looks and behaves so realisticlly.

I know other games have this but it never looks quite right...here it does!
 
That last part of the G4TV clip with the Helghast screaming in agonizing pain while burning is really impressive and convincing. I thought the HL2 zombies were impressive when on fire, but this is even a step further. Damn.

What a horrible death.

Particles are affected by "wind" in the level and player movement, if I understood the dev video correctly. Pretty awesome.

The thing is though, that Sony 1st parties are all building their code from the ground up, specifically to take advantage of the PS3's spu's. 3rd parties are only optimizing part of their code here and there, only parallelizing the parts they have to to get it to at least run on ps3, and that's where the 3rd parties are losing the battle to make the best looking games. I hate to say it but you can thank MS for the fact that 3rd parties are not trying that hard to leave legacy code behind, or at least try to parallelize it.

Well there's still Square Enix. Their engine is supposedly using 4 SPUs pretty efficiently. And they've been spending an awful long time on FFXIII and Versus, so I have to believe they're doing SOMETHING with all that time and money.

I'm kinda scared for the white engine(crystal tools) though, it's being built first and foremost on pc, and we know that that does not translate well to ps3.....

There´s only three things to know:

They play good soccer, but never win something important (opposed to Germany)
Their game developers can max out the tech side of a specific plattform (like german developers aka Crytek)
You can smoke weed in certain locations and it is legal

:D

Ich mag Holland...
 
I usually pass off gore as stupid candy for the masses, but I swear the blood splatter mixed with the death animations are almost artistic... or maybe I'm just a big fanboy.

Thing about this game is that everything is so rewarding. The weapons, bullet impacts, particle and blood effects, environments, art, motion blur and depth of field, player weight... fucking awesome man.
