Wow, they actually released the video. I hope Next-Gen looks like this, would be a good bump in graphics.

I don't think they'd say "This is a realtime demo of our next-gen engine" if the new consoles (their primary money makers) won't meet the targets this demo was designed to run on.

Fantastic, looks like a good story too.

lol, so true. Anyways, I am still very impressed by the demo. The graphical fidelity is insane and really makes me wonder what Sony first party games are going to look like?!!! I would love Guerilla to show the infamous Killzone E3 2005 footage again next year, but then say, "Hey wait...this time it's real time and it looks even better!" (they would then proceed to pick up and play it).

The only thing though is that target renders usually over estimate the hardware. Usually it's the last generation of games in a console cycle that come even remotely close to matching the target render of a studio.
