Recent screenshots have emerged that show what looks like a drastic change in Killzone 2. You can easily see that the models are smoother and the room is darker.

Seb Downie, QA Manager for Guerrilla Games, said on the official PlayStation forums that, "They are only the tiniest bit touched up. Short answer is yes. Long answer is that there was a little bit of colour-correction done and some minor polish, but nothing major. Still very close to reality and it looks better in motion in my opinion."
Killzone 2 is the third installment in the Killzone series that originally began on the PlayStation 2. It was first announced at E³ 2005 in Los Angeles, California, and is set for release in 2008. A lot of information is still unknown at this point.

Too bad we can't see what else they changed in a video yet :(
Nice! Much better.
looks amazing way better! way to go
It looks cool.. i actually prefure the darker images.
I just hope the retail game would look this good,i mean it would be really bad if these are just touched up versions to make it look better than it will be.
sparking more reason to want this game. killzone is takeing an extraordinary amount of time to come out. but if u want the best u need to wait for the best. every game ever put out has a hand full of spots designers skip over or go cheap on. killzone is spending a good 6 and a hal years on this game so far and has dumped an estamatid 31 million into designing of the game tell me it isn't going to be amazing. if anything has the chance to beat the pI$$ out of HALO THIS WILL BE THE TITLE.
By the time it does come out, it had better be atleast as good as Guerilla say it will be! I'm sure it'll be very rewarding when we're happy...they'll be happy! :)
halo 3 suçks, i tried it on crapbox and it didn't make me want to buy either, killzone 2 is just going to be way much better and so fuçk@ng realistik, can't wait to get my hands on it, this is the fps game that every gamer which likes this type of game NEEDS to have in thier collection, i know i doooooo!
lol this quote is his answer to my question on the forums! never thought it would be so much of a deal to end up being talked about everywhere...
Looks great, I hope that they changes the "Afterburner" fire effects too.
@ princevegeta1980
i take it objectivitys not really your strong point then!
This change is amazing. Infact they just make me want to play the game more and more. Please when is the game coming to the local shops
@lurkingshadow
i agree, but they've put abut 50 million into this game, not 30 mil. All the more reason that this game is going to kick some serious @.ss
Very excited about KZ2. I'm sure that Guerrilla has touched up alot and it will look very close to what we saw in 2005.
I hope this is a solid game, Sony needs a killer killer App.
I've grown to understand that games often shown early don't come far from them. People thought that Bungie was touching up Halo 3 Beta after the lackluster graphics display and Frankie even saying stuff along the lines of "you ain't seen nothing yet". And we all know how far that came from the Beta. Unless I see updated videos along the way to release, It's safe to say that what we see here we can expect in the retail.
Timeshift was the only game I know of to have such a huge revamp in graphics.
What I like about the changes to the color scheme is that the darker colors give a much better contrast and they seem less washed out. Look at the textures on the side wall on the left, just that little color change brought that out so much more! Can't wait!
I really hope they aren't spending too much time on just graphics. The first Killzone and the PSP Killzone weren't that great, so althought I know this game is gonna look incredible I'm still very worried about how it's gonna play. I tried to play Killzone a couple weeks back and got so frustrated with the damn aiming and AI that I swore never to pick it up again. It's funny how such a lackluster series is getting HUGE hype just because of how it looks. Any other game with their prior record would be under our radar.
We need more information, we got absolutley none!
looks great, gona be the best FPS EVER!!!!
cool, but i wann ahear more.
psn id: gingo... both these images look better than anything i have seen on any console so the fact they have improved from the first image is unbelieveable
3rd installment?? am i mising something, it said 3rd installment....??? :S
& its killzone 2..?
@tjay:
Killzone, Killzone Liberation (PSP) and Killzone 2.
2008 cannot come soon enough...I want KZ now!
I've never seen any graphics better than Killzone 2...Not even on a PC...not Crysis not anything.
This looks fully sick, finally the game has some colour. I hope they do even more tweaking to the graphics before the game is launched, they have put soo much money into the game and there are a lot of developers working on the title as we speak. There is no reason why they can't make it look even better before launch.
Is it just me or did PSU.com just get a jump in commenters. 31 for this post and 50+ for the Warner article.
Anyways I like the improvement and im sure the game will look way better than it already does when 2008 rolls around.
graphics are always a plus but my main thing is gameplay, make some very challenging and fun missions and we got ourselves a winner. Dont make it repetitive like Assassins with brilliant graphics, because in my book thats what killed it for me even though i still played it through.
I'll agree the new screen looks better, and maybe it's just me, but I much prefer the screen of the previous. Not the gun persay, but the environment is easier to see.
yeah the new one looks much more life like
