Killzone 2 E3 2005

E3 2005 was all about what awaited gamers in the seventh generation of consoles, and there was perhaps no better-looking trailer than Guerrilla Games’ Killzone 2 on the showfloor. The trailer showcased high-resolution assets, immaculately detailed facial animations, dense explosions all set against a massive cityscape on the brink of destruction which undoubtedly got legions of fans excited for Sony’s next-gen machine. However, the trailer wasn’t exactly a real demonstration of the final product, rather a pre-rendered sequence that wasn’t even made using the game’s engine. It was the subject of many controversies back in the day and still stands tall as one of the most misleading game trailers of all time.
