The latest episode of The 1UP Show features an exclusive first-look at Killzone 2's vehicles. Every bit of info that comes out for this incredibly secretive FPS gets us a bit more excited, and this impressive preview from the 1UP doesn't change the trend. We're going hands-on with the game at E3 next week -- let's hope it plays just as well as it looks.
[Thanks, frankym!]

Awesome! I look forward to this game next year! :D

Looks great, I can't wait to play Killzone two. There's just one problems...
WHY do the Helghast wear the masks on their home planet? And why don't the ISA wear masks on Helghan? I hate it when companies miss such obvious details...

It's for their distinctive looks. Think of it as a army uniform. Just because you're on your home planet doesn't mean you have to change what you wear to war.
Plus, I don't remember the Helghast soldier you use in the first game ever needing a mask.... although he is half human.

on the 1st game the helgahns(SP?) were the 1st to reach the planet. while they were there the gas in the atmosphere made them weak and the oufit kinda act as body strengthening kinda thing... i'm not sure on the details but i loved the killzone 1 and i'll be definitely getting this one no matter what.

Using my imagination: The Helghast(at the time they settled Helghan, they more closely resembled modern humans) couldn't adapt quickly enough to their new habitat without the aid of technology. The Helghast have now become a new race/species reliant on that technology for everyday survival (they've become one with machine). [See: Darth Vader, Robocop] I could probably go into more detail, but I've gotta go. I think guerrilla should come up with a bigger mythology for the Helghast-- it could prove very interesting.
Niko_Bellic @ Jul 11th 2008 10:18PM
Guerrilla has already explained that their evolution took place-- as it does, naturally-- over several generations. The ISA troops are in no immediate threat to the harsh Helghan elements. (Hopefully this topic isn't sidestepped entirely and left to us to figure out ourselves.)

why did they have to take out secondary!? it made the game better
magicfett @ Jul 11th 2008 6:47PM
Wow, this game just keeps getting better day one buy for me for sure, and they aren't even finished.
Eddie @ Jul 11th 2008 6:14PM
Thanks for putting that video up.
Great stuff!
brando @ Jul 11th 2008 6:20PM
these load times are ridiculous.
RagingStormX @ Jul 11th 2008 6:27PM
Glad to hear they are using the same motion capture interface like the one used for Heavenly sword....best in-game animation ever.
Albanian_Killa @ Jul 11th 2008 8:10PM
Did they do the same for Uncharted or not?
TinyTim121 @ Jul 11th 2008 6:27PM
Sweet!!
Neil @ Jul 11th 2008 7:29PM
Very impressive stuff....so far so good I'd say.
Niko_Bellic @ Jul 11th 2008 8:34PM
So far it looks excellent. Now I can't wait!!! Guerrilla should keep doing what they're doing, and they might just have the GotY.
dave @ Jul 11th 2008 8:55PM
killzone babys when? lol
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jul 12th 2008 3:33AM
awesome. this game is going to be great. the gameplay looks hectic, i doubt i would get bored with it very fast. and did you see how good the reload animation looks? February cant get here soon enough.
HanzoTheRazor @ Jul 12th 2008 11:09AM
This will go up there with the best shooters ever made and it's exclusivly on the PS3, yeh baby! Just what we need too, a killa shooter, now lets see which will be better, R2 or K2. Sony did the right thing moving it to Feb too. It will get a much bigger spread when people are craving for something new and there will be little else to quench our thirsts in this genre then as well. Also, should be over 20 mil PS3's by then too, more nubs to thrash!
Dwag @ Jul 12th 2008 5:40PM
Now I'm starting to believe. Obviously KZ2 will kill R2 its just a known fact after readiing and watching that episode it seems they did what Bungie does and put like 5 weeks into one thing which seems cool. They put 3+ years into this it has to be good. I doubt it will be a "Halo Killer" but it pretty much looks like a Halo like franchise finally started for Sony. I hope the doesn't backfire again.
HanzoTheRazor @ Jul 13th 2008 12:48AM
This game started development before Gears 1. Sony now owns the studio and has given them free spread. They have 140 people working on the game and will not release it till it's perfect. The Uncharted, Insomniac and many other teams have been sharing work with Sonys new sharing the work load and tools push. Every cool aspect from only the very best shooters has been implamented and tweaked + orginal inovations. The story is better than Halo and the Charactars are not gay, also, much better atmosphere than Halo. Visuals; this game is getting pre-reviwes of perfection, [read the latest 1up review]. They are saying the in game running graphics are the best they have seen so far, and by far the best on the PS3! Partical effects are amazing, AI is getting better and better with enemy troops taking advanced cover and tracking u down. The environment is destructable and so are the enemies, very bloody. The weapons and attachments are realistic and feel smooth. The vehicals are original and look awesome. Read 1up.

This game is not going to be mind blowing. Some of you act like it is the second coming of Christ. This game will be good but it's not going to live up to all expectations nor will it be a system seller.
HanzoTheRazor @ Jul 12th 2008 10:26PM
U either don't like shooters, have just started playing games or are blind and cannot READ or SEE. Check out the latest trailers and the pre-review from 1up.
Dwag @ Jul 12th 2008 6:00PM
@Bucfann
The reason I believe is because It's like the only good FPS(exclusive) we've seen and they are still a work in progress which by the way looks good unlike some other garbage work in progress footage we've seen(Resistance 2) they don't put up a Work in Progress thing above gameplay and expect us to believe thats a good enough excuse for why it looks like the same thing as the prequel again Resistance 2 which let me down by so many levels. Sure it might not sell as much as R2 but I believe by PS3 standards its a pretty great game as long as they don't delay it again. By far no game ever lives up to all its expectations.
HanzoTheRazor @ Jul 13th 2008 12:48AM
@Dwag, if u haven't already, check out the pre-review from 1UP. they are saying extreamly possitive things about K2 and It's a good read. Also, there is no reason why it should not be better than Halo at this stage. Read the 1UP artical and u might change your mind. 140 people have been working on it for roughly 4 years. Sony now owns the studio and has been sharing the work load between other in house studio's like NaughtyDog and Insomniac with ideas and tools. The review says that there are amazing partical effects, massive destructive environments and destructive, bloody people too [Halo doesn't have]. The graphics are said to be the best from any game so far and by far the best from the PS3. The AI is really being focussed on now, with inteligent enemies taking cover, working in teams and hunting u down. Gurellia are putting everything into it that was missing from K1. They also have implemented the best features from only the best shooters made and with new innovations. It's being kept very secret too.

@HanzoTheRazor
I read it twice but it seems cool and I own part one so I already know the faults which is why I'm afraid because so far they made the game look good but the gameplay looks like every other shooter on the market and they haven't done anything innovative with that as of yet. The reason why I doubt it will kill Halo is because Halo frankly helped the FPS genre get started like Half-Life and Goldeneye 007 and without Halo we've wouldn't have seen any of the FPSs we've seen now and plus Halo is a series and Killzone may look better and have more or so I assume features I doubt it can beat Halo(anyone in the series) in Popularity,Sales and maybe even Ratings.
I'm a little glad you didn't try to hype up Resistance 2.
Oh yeah whats your PSN and Gamertag? I feel like adding you
I'm mostly on my 360 now so I'll probably(if you have space or let me) add you there first.
