Destructible cover-
The last stuff I'll post probably tomorrow or wednesday was a bitch to get, toughest level I've played so far so it's all in segments. The lighting is amazing though, best I've seen in any game, console or PC.

I don't like the way killzone looks. It has good physics and fluid modeling, but it looks bland and washed out. Almost like a painting. I don't think the lighting is very good. I saw this with alot of first flight 360 games.....everything was so fucking dark. Well that's a developers trick to excuse lighting shortcomings. That's why far cry made me jizz my pants, awesome fucking lighting.....even from the console versions. I honestly don't think killzone is that far removed from far cry in the looks dept. I have to say that uncharted is looking better and better now than the first trailers I saw for it.

On a similar note the sequel to one of the most underrated games ever is coming out soon.

Leaping from skyscraper to skyscraper and picking up cars and tossing them never got old.

To each their own I suppose. That's definetly the first comment I've heard that the lighting isn't very good though, regardless of how dark it is. Sure it ain't all bright like Far Cry 2 but it's not supposed to be like that either. Notice how the only time the lighting in Far Cry 2 is really impressive is during the day/outdoors, in conjunction with the day/night cycle? It's because there aren't many actual light sources in the game.
I remember watching a developer video interview of Killzone 2 where there are 230 light sources being displayed in a single scene. Most games have maybe half a dozen. Granted not all of them are dynamic, but the sheer number itself is unparalleled. I've only played through a little over half the game but what I've seen so far hasn't been done before.
I'm done recording for now, this is my first somewhat extensive attempt at editing a few clips together; would've been better if I had a capture card vs cam though-
The next three are someone else's, but I think this whole level shows off the lighting engine pretty well. According to what I've read the level that has hundreds of light sources is later in the game so we'll see.
I certainly understand how some people wouldn't like the washed out/dark look, but considering this game is processing more per scene for lighting alone than most games even attempt is impressive in itself.

This is why Sony went with Cell architecture-
Curbing piracy is probably another reason though too.

that was a pretty good vid on the cell processor. God that thing has to be a mother fucker to program for. Even though I can't stand those 3rd person platformers, I have to admit that visually uncharted has some sick looks. Killzone still doesn't impress me though, looks too washed out. Whenever there's a still shot, looks like a painting. FPS's are my nigga's and so far from what i've seen the PS3 hasn't seperated itself from the 360. What's more is that sony is locked into the ps3 for at least another 4-5 years and we'll probably see the 360 successor in 3, "maybe" 2....but I doubt it unless some new manufacturing process if developed that severly cuts cost. Microsoft renewed their contract with AMD/ATI for the next machine, so the move from the 360 to the next machine will be effortless for the companies makeing 360 games now. It's just a better business model even if at the end of the console cycle Sony is getting more power from their machine. I read that sony has resigned themselves to using the same CPU in the next machine because developing a new one is going to cost too much and it gives developers a breather. No one wants to spend 4 years figuring out the cell and just as they do, they're hit with a new one. First smart thing I've heard sony do in a long time.
