EventoDía: 10 de JulioDuración: 2 h 30 minEn el proyecto Killzone de PS3 empezaron trabajando 60 componentes de Guerrilla, pero pronto su número aumento con nuevas incorporaciones al estudio, que al menos desde hace un año lo componen 130 personas. Estas incorporaciones fueron en su mayor parte de personal local incluyendo al nucleo de los creadores del recordado OutCast.
- Adicionalmente, SONY encargó al Studio Cambridge, creador de algunos de los mayores hitos gráficos en PS2 como Primal y GhostHunter, que ayudara a Guerrilla en el proceso de modelado y ha ello se ha dedicado la mitad del estudio desde hace bastantes meses.
- Asi mismo se llegó a un acuerdo con la empresa Neozelandesa SecondIntention que se ha encargado del asesoramiento y parte de la programación del sistema de iluminación del engine que se caracteriza por hacer uso del Deferred Lighting Rendering.
- Desde la unificación de los Studios internos de SONY todos comparten herramientas de desarrollo, pero incluso antes de que se anunciara la creación del SCEWWS, se sabe que Naughty Dog y Guerrilla venían intercambiando código.
- Aunque no se conoce la dimensión del coste del proyecto, Guerrilla confirmó en una revista holandesa que ya a finales del año pasado habían superado los 16 millones de euros.
- El director técnico de Guerrilla ha confirmado en entrevistas que la práctica totalidad de los escenarios serán destructibles.
- Hasta ahora el único atisbo del motor de Killzone que se ha mostrado a los medios fue una demo técnica creada en base al modo multijugador que fue mostrada a puerta cerrada en la pasado GDC. A respecto de esta demo técnica Gamespot publicó lo siguiente:
Contrary to what you may have heard Killzone 2 was at GDC. A trailer was shown at a pre-keynote speech press briefing that we attended. It was, said Sony boss Phil Harrison, to showcase what can be done with the PlayStation Edge developer tools, not the game. But we'll see. Due to Sony restrictions, you can't see it on the net. But it went like this...
Heavy, doom-laden classical music kicks in. An urban warzone appears. It looks like in-game action - genuine in-game action. The Helghast are in a shootout with human commandos. It looks dusty, but also quite beautiful.
The humans are losing the battle, and several dart into a nearby house. One falls - in super slow motion - as he reaches the door, showcasing how superb the character models are. His compatriots have no time to help and run inside, pursued by the Helghast. Outside, a massive tank rolls into view, thundering off blasts into alleyways. The screen darkens again. "More at E3 in July 2007," says the message. We breathe out, impressed if not blown away. Some have griped about it not looking the equal of that E3 trailer. It's true that it doesn't, but it still looks excellent to us. Killzone 2 breaks cover in July, and we'll be first with details.
1. He seen a gameplay video. Graphically he said it was better than the E3 trailer, but personally I think he was just a bit over exited because it looked amazing.
2. NPC's react realistically to where they are shot. The example he said is that a Helghast was hit in the hand and it shook its hand as if in pain, and also if shot in the leg blood seeps out of the exact area shot.
3. For multiplayer each server is like a world, with villages and towns, and your battling for control. If Helghast controlled it looks run down, if ISA controlled it looks nice, with residents living there.
He said the game is very far along too.
