I can''t tell if there is a pervading sense of sarcasm here but...eveyrone knows that Killlzone demo (shown at E3 2005) is completely pre-rendered and is only a “target” of what the developers hope to achieve.
Yes game is 100% prerendered on a supercomputer but statements lately about Killzone 3 suggest that graphics will still end up at or around that. But of course Sony is known for bullshit so we’ll see.
Yes its pre-rendered. But, everything is possible, to a degree anyway.
One of the things that gives this away is the perfectly round edges (if you look at a larger, higher-quality version, you’ll see what I mean) which is impossible on any consumer hardware, unless you have a machine dedicated to building 3-D, and I doubt any of you do because none of us makes this stuff, and that type of hardware can’t run games.
The stuff that makes it all super awesome is the sound and the sheer intense amount of stuff going on at any time, and those explosions help, and those are possible. The textures may be a bit worse, the polygon count lower, but its completely possible.
