Even if the game ends up having to die for graphics, how does that make people believe that the game will be good? The original was an average game, hardly worth buying, no better than Red Faction as a PS2 shooter, yet Sony fans throw out "Killzone 2" as a potential AAA title. Has a game with a poor first showing EVER been followed up by a game that was completely and utterly stellar? Nothing that really comes to my mind, but my knowledge of PC games is rather limited, so maybe something there.
What I'm trying to say is, even if Killzone 2 achieved the graphics the in the E3 '05 trailer: so what? The game was bad anyways, what is there to be excited about. As a Sony fan, I'd probably hang my hat on the next Resistance, or Army of Two, rather than the "second try" at a mediocre franchise.
We just all want to see if the trailer comes anywhere close to the graphics shown in the CGI trailer. Also Sony took over development of the game, they arnt just publishing it this time. The last Killzone game got a decent score, so that means they are improving.
The hype for KZ2 was never really about the game. It was all about graphical fidelity to the impossible trailer Sony showed for it at E3. I think most of us are trying to see if the PS3 can push that level of graphics and animation in an actual gameplay experience. Whether the game comes loaded with features and great multiplayer to push it into GS AAA range is another story entirely.

That's true, I hadn't really considered the PSP version, but it wasn't an FPS though was it? Seemed to me more like Full Spectrum Warrior than an FPS.
The only things I did'nt like about the first killzone was the stupid acting. The game was a blast. If they can make the soryline and acting good then Killzone is going to be freakin awesome, I just want to see if they can pull it off.
Guerrilla have over 100 more people working on KZ2 than KZ1... and... They are outsourcing all the modeling and texturing to Massive Black Inc so they can put more focus on the engine and the gamplay. Although most people don't know about the outsourcing bit, so... I don't know why really, they just want to see it I guess.
Edit: I'm heading off now, so here's a link to MB's website/portfolio incase someone is interested- www.massiveblack.com

I was not sure about purchasing it, I mean, come on, Killzone. but I finally bought it. and it is amazing, arguably the best handheld shooter. and they recently added online play.
as for the hype, people they dont care about the gameplay and other stuff, they want to see Killzone's graphics. which in my opinion is sad.
PS3 lovers, just want to claim ownage if its good and PS3 haters just want to bash.
personally, I hope is great, CGI traile or not, if its great, I'll be happy.
Because this game is a next gen SW icon.... it will really determine our fates. When the trailer shows up... one of the factions will definately be owned BADLY

agreed, all heck will break loose when the trailer is shown. but i have a question lets say killzone gets the great graphics, but what happens when this game scores well like some where between 7.5 to 8.5, and Halo 3 hits the 9s as expected. i would think it would still be ownage for sony fanboys because the hyped up halo killer is still not even close.

yeah of course. The review will have the last word. But just imagine the situation here in SW if KZ2 outscores Halo 3... OMG I don't wanna be here (but I don't think this could ever happen)

The PSP version got AA everywhere and it was scored without the Multiplayer upgrade or Extras,other wise it would be a high AA or maybe low AAA.But the PS2 version flopped really hard.

no i dont think it will. killzone one was a joke. im sorry that game was so bad. i mean there are a lot of GOOD FPS games. lots. all better than killzone. i think cows should look more forward to resistance3 2. that game was solid. not great, i mean i can still name better shooters, but the sequal has great potential. its story had a good concept but i dont think it really delivered in the first one. kinda like gears where the story is good its just it was delivered perfectly. as for killzone 2 i dont see this game being good at all. maybe high 7s tops.
