Default Re: IGN Editors state whether they think the Killzone footage is real.

Well there you have it. From an actual coder and someone whose worked on the PS3 Dev Kit.. and might I add, unfinished Dev Kit....

Everything in the press conference from Sony looked too good to be true, and the Killzone 2 gameplay footage added to that doubt.

Let me recall some reasons for doubt,
"It seems too scripted // Everyone seems to know what they are doing in the footage // No one plays the game this right"

Well....... when trying to show a tech demo, you figure they'd make it look the best they can.. In essence... taking into account what the Dev's of Heavenly Sword said, they selected pre-determined moves and awesome imagery and it went through post-processing or editing, and created a trailer.

For Killzone they probably did the same thing, and had someone play the game endlessly until he got every action right to create a fluid game play... rather then someone jumping around and shooting bricks until he finally reached a checkpoint to continue on in the story.

They were trying to convey the graphics capability of what they are aiming for. And they are trying to make it look nice but cutting it and touch it up with editing, but I don't expect anyone to show a tech demo of some guy jumping around and fooling around.

And what of the Ducky demo? The guy was using the unfinished PS3 hardware, using the controller to control the ducks and the battle ships.... via wireless controllers... THAT demo looked real cuz he was fooling around and such correct? If he showed a trailer with the duck flapping his wings and the water turning into a Tsunami creating a massive mess in the bathroom... showing the drama of course.....Everyone would be speculating if THAT was real...

Movies are fake because they are scripted..... Doesn't mean games have to be. Demo's are always scripted.
