I highly doubt every bullet is that textured in-game.

Probably not. You don't really ever get to see the bullets like that though so I don't see why it would matter. Considering they're probably using the same shaders and textures of the other metals in the game, I'm not really all that worried.

Nah. "Perfected" is definitely superior to "Evolved". This is clearly GG shoving a big ol' middle finger right in Bungie's face. :D

The ad is absolutely perfect for the market sony is going after.
It doesn't need to show actual gameplay it just needs to provide a hook
which it definitely has. Its designed to get people talking.

Nobody can tell me that the Gears ad's were weak cause they didn't show
"gameplay" or clarify exactly what the game was about.

The Killzone 2 ad is exciting, beautiful to look at and just mysterious enough.
Job well done I say.

I'm just happy it's using ingame assets rather than a random prerendered commercial (Uncharted) or lame live action footage with boring actors (R2).

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a really good ad. And I agree, they definitely know who they need to market to. Certainly not the "million" people that already have it pre-ordered. If it looks bad ass and grabs people, then the ad did its job.

Those R2 ads were bat shit crazy. They probably scared people away from the game.

Exactly this. The Gears2 commercial was absolutely amazing and didn't show a bit of gameplay. Made me buy a 360 though.
Getting people excited and talking about it is what its all about.

While the ad itself is good, I really think it's a terrible mistake to not have shown any gameplay footage. People are going to think "yeah that's nice and all, cutscenes or whatever, bullshit all over again. The game probably doesn't look as good. Pass" or whatever.

I really dont think so man. If anything its going to lead people to investigate the game which Sony wants
because they have their early reviews and never ending supply of amazing looking in-game imagery
ready and waiting.

They should have added this at the end of the add:

"THINK IT'S BULLSHIT? JUST WAIT TO SEE IT RUN IN REALTIME AND PLAY WITH THE CAMERA, BITCHES. IN THE MEANTIME GO BUY A TREY AND KZ2. III IIII L"

So that teaser ad will be followed up by more substantial ads later on? Excellent, that's exactly how it should be.


edit: am I the only one who doesn't find these Chad Warden/El Presador type characters funny? It's just shitting up the thread, imo. :(

I thought Chad Warden was funny because I'm pretty sure he was dead serious. El Presador is obviously just a joke that was only funny the first time. His constant stream of videos on a daily basis is annoying. He's just trying to milk his 15 minutes of Youtube fame.

Cool ad, but why the fuck is he firing sabot rounds out of an automatic rifle? (besides the fact that it looks cool in slowmo)

You answered your own question. It's the same reason that the Helghast have glowing red eyes even though it's incredibly impractical on a battlefield.

At the risk of stating the obvious – the Killzone 2 engine is phenomenally powerful. To offer you some insight into the technology behind this game, we will release a playable version of this in-engine ad vignette on the PlayStation Network coming in March. You’ll be able to control the camera and hear director commentary on how the production was completed using only the game’s technology. The project codename is “Killzone in 4-D” – hope you can check it out.
