Killzone PS3 Demo was Real! ... Well Kind of
One of the raging debates of this E3 is whether the jaw dropping trailer for Killzone on the Playstation 3 was real-time or pre-rendered. Well the designer of Killzone gave an interview with UK Playstation and said:
Is the Killzone sequence a fair example of what people can expect from realtime gameplay on PlayStation 3?
Jan-Bart: Yeah, it's basically a representation of the look and feel of the game we're trying to make.
So it sounds like it was pre-rendered, but the real game will look and feel like the trailer. Hmmm... They are however very impressed with PS3 hardware, which I think we all are.
Jan-Bart: Yes, we're really impressed with it. The Cell is amazingly powerful, and the graphics CPU [the RSX, co-developed with Nvidia] in there... it's actually hard to mimic it on our development PCs, we have to see it on the PS3 hardware itself. It's really nice to be working with such powerful hardware. [Discuss]
