Following events and action from the original Killzone for PlayStation2, the latest release sets a new standard for next-gen gaming by delivering intense warfare with incredibly lifelike character animations, highly detailed and destructible environments, realistic physics, and advanced levels of artificial intelligence. Once again set in an extreme post-modern war, it delivers a striking graphical style showcasing a gritty realism unique to the Killzone franchise. With an extensive, story-driven single-player mode and thrilling multiplayer mode, the game offers a host of new elements that caters for both hardcore and casual gamers. Highly atmospheric environments respond accurately to weapons fire as players storm through the world of Helghan. The harsh climate and conditions of Helghan are also a factor, forcing players to adapt new tactics to survive.
Proprietary tools and technology – deferred rendering techniques, for example – are implemented to create advanced effects such as ultra-vivid and detailed character animations and environments. Advanced cinematic effects are used to provide unprecedented visuals, including motion blur, internal lens reflections and depth-based colour grading. Killzone 2 supports 7.1 surround sound with location-specific audio.
Whoomp! Another hapless conscript bites the dust. |
