Apocalyptic new Killzone 2 trailer takes us to Helghan

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 27th 2008 at 8:13PM }

Resistance 2 is only weeks away ...

Which is why the hype machine for Killzone 2 must gear up! This new trailer of the hotly anticipated PS3-exclusive FPS looks incredibly epic. The visuals look spectacular, thanks to a great art style that blends bleak grays with some surprising bursts of color. Are you ready to wage war against the Helghast? Good. You'll want to check out the trailer, after the cut.

[Thanks, Bryan!]

I don't mind spending my honeymoon in Helghan.

Lavat @ Oct 27th 2008 8:35PM

Those comments from the people above me remind me of the chirping people of Fable 2 commenting on me everywhere I go...

But this game is just amazing...I thought it was going to be just another FPS...But the aesthetic look has swayed me more then ever...Because...That is all I ask...Give me a game where everything is just to my style and killing people and shooting stuff is satisfying...And I will play it forever.

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 27th 2008 8:37PM

...wow. just...wow. i'm so excited for this game. is this gonna be multi-platform or exclusive?

Game_playa @ Oct 27th 2008 8:42PM

Multi-platform, cause that's why it has the xbox360 logo in the beginning, and says "Micro$oft".

Game_playa @ Oct 27th 2008 8:43PM

My bad.......
I thought you were a troll...LOL

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 27th 2008 8:45PM

NEVAAARRRR!!!

ps3 \m/

Hyams @ Oct 27th 2008 8:46PM

It's being made by Sony. They're pouring loads of money and resources into it too. This is the PS3's graphical flagship, designed to really show off its power.

The_Doctor @ Oct 27th 2008 9:46PM

WTF does it matter? Would it be any less fun for you if it was multiplatform? I wish Fable II was multiplatform so I could play it. I'm sure some 360 owners feel the same about some of our games.

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 27th 2008 10:34PM

How would it change anything? Either way I'm buying it, I was just curious; it seems that most games that have had a lot of time, effort and money put into them are multi-platform, that's all.

Sim and Sim @ Oct 27th 2008 8:39PM

sweet merciful lord...

Sauvage @ Oct 27th 2008 8:48PM

Did I just see a Metal Gear at the end?

I jest, but it would be funny if there was some cross-polination of characters in FPS. Like Snake making a cameo appearance in KZ2 or Nathan somehow teleporting to Helgast battle, just for a small part of the campaign.

Heck TV studios do it all the time to cross-promote shows, Sony should try it.

lorddshadow @ Oct 27th 2008 9:20PM

you mean like snake in lbp?

Dreadhead541 @ Oct 28th 2008 12:34AM

Looked like a similar tank to the one Colbar(sp) had in the psp killzone game

wocyob @ Oct 28th 2008 1:55AM

lol i thought the same thing... thought i saw REX

Sauvage @ Oct 28th 2008 4:18AM

@lordshadow : last time I checked LBP wasn't an FPS, but if that is an unlockable, that would be cool!

Hyams @ Oct 27th 2008 8:49PM

Be sure to watch it at the source for a (slightly) high res picture:

XeroKool @ Oct 27th 2008 8:53PM

I got chills watching that. February '09 can't come any quicker.

Byron517 @ Oct 27th 2008 11:08PM

whahahahah now that's more like it SONY!!! LBP, R2 and Killzone!!! BRING IT BITCHES!!!

Ted @ Oct 27th 2008 9:09PM

My friend is in the Beta and he says its awesome...

Much better than R2, he claims

Zapper @ Oct 27th 2008 9:27PM

Amen to that, the Beta is awesome. Tried the R2 beta and quickly went back to this one.

The only problem is that I occasionally get distracted by the amazing graphics and quickly pay the price...

Ben @ Oct 28th 2008 4:14PM

I'm in the Beta, and for the first game, I went zero kills and like 20 deaths becaue I was too caught up in the graphics and animations to do anything. Besides those though, which are incredible, the actual gameplay is amazing as well

frankym @ Oct 27th 2008 9:12PM

..................somebody pinch me

Kombat @ Oct 27th 2008 11:08PM

Hyperfludd @ Oct 27th 2008 10:17PM

Meh..not too interested. Only Grey and brown game I'll pick up this year with my new PS3 will be Resistance 2.

Brett from Atlanta @ Oct 28th 2008 12:45AM

Good thing this comes out next year then huh? ;)

osirus824 @ Oct 27th 2008 10:27PM

Sounds like this game is a none-too-subtle allegory for the Iraq war. Hopefully this means that the script for the game will be smarter than your average sci-fi war shooter's.

Anonymousaurus @ Oct 27th 2008 10:34PM

its...beautiful...

this and resistance 2 will definitely make my ps3 very busy for the next year or so

Ranus Studios @ Oct 27th 2008 10:37PM

It's not often that I get excited for games these days, least of all PS3 games, but... I'm really kinda digging this one.

dnlkk94 @ Oct 27th 2008 11:28PM

Did anyone catch references to the Iraq War in this?
"In and out within a month, they said."
"Their guns no match for our military might."
"Moderate to Low resistance."
"Enemy morale at an all time low."

And the closer:
"I guess someone forgot to tell the Helghast."

LOL, epic trailer.

By the way, was that Visari on the loudspeaker?

Anthony @ Oct 28th 2008 12:59AM

Actually, the Killzone storyline alludes to World War II. The developers have even admitted that.

- One month; In 1944, the Allies thought they would have the war won by Christmas with Operation Market Garden

- Moderate to low resistance; The Allies understood that an overwhelming majority of German divisions were in the East (120 in the East vs. 8 to 12 in the West).

- Enemy morale at an all time low; Prior to the invasion of Normandy, the Allies had conducted extensive bombings of the Ruhr industrial valley. They falsely claimed that the missions were successful in halting the German "war machine" and weakening German morale.

- Helghast officer uniform, insignia and general appearance are starkly similar to the Wehrmacht and SS soldiers/officers.

Yes, that was Visari on the loudspeaker, played by the great Brian Cox. That speech of his gets me so pumped. The game looks like pure win. I can't wait.

ps92117 @ Oct 27th 2008 11:48PM
