Hands down the most impressive in-game footage I've ever seen in my life. Fair enough, a lot of it is probably scripted but it's literally jaw-dropping. The original Killzone looked awful, but if this can keep up this level of intensity all the way through then I'll buy a console just for it alone.

Xbox 360 suddenly looks very ordinary.

A brief, rushed sentence with a typo or two can make all the difference.

Funny when you write what Slice generally wrote no-one questions it.

More stuff, meh.

"Mark Rein from Epic posted on VE3D that the only things at the Sony presser running real-time were the tech demos, the UE3 demo, and some of the EA games. He did go on to say that the other videos looked achievable on final hardware though."

Yes, course it was. Since when do Square make an entire in game engine and show *that* off in their showcase?

It's disappointing that it's not in-game, even in-engine footage. IN the words of a seasoned professional, "It is possible. But with that sort of detail, pre-scripted or not, it would take at least 10 years if the quality of detail was seen throughout."

There's no denying that the FFVII tech demo was beautiful though, but could that have been pre-rendered too?

Well, at least Sony succeeded in pishing on Microsoft's fire for a while.

I guess we're going to see a hell of a lot more 'in-game' shots during E3. Looks like we'll just have to wait for the real stuff to emerge.

This was said over at IGN or something

"It's not in-game.

It's not the engine.

It's not even in real-time!

It's all pre-rendered.

A UK studio did the effects work on it. Seriously, the whole thing was made up."

Oh dear.

This makes me want to play Killzone, regardless if everyone says it doesn't live up to it's hype.

As I understand it, the scene was rendered using the Cell alone, rather than the system's actual graphics chip, which is very impressive since it means it must have been software-emulating graphics technology on the CPU.
