Guerrilla on defense: Killzone 2 not entirely gray, has striking difference with other shooters
Despite what you may have seen or heard of Killzone 2, Guerrilla Games director Mathijs de Jonge states that the game is actually not just full of grays – it’s got a wider color palette too. More than that, he says that, compared to other shooters, the difference with K2 is “striking.”

Speaking to CVG, de Jonge said:
The first images that we released were just from one level that was still in early production, and I can assure you that the final game has a very rich and varied colour palette – and still manages to maintain that gritty and realistic look and feel.
We’ve managed to push so far in all areas that this game feels like a next generation game. When I go home at night after a long day of work I play other shooters to relax, and although I certainly enjoy playing them, the difference in graphical quality, production values and the experience itself, is striking.
This coming after the Killzone 2 review that was just published online, it looks like de Jonge is going on defense. But really, does he have to? You’re still buying the game, right? We’ve waited too long now to allow silly remarks from critics about how “gray” a game is or how “nothing new” it is for the shooter genre.
