''"Inferior game producers and console manufactures have traditionally advertised higher resolution screen shots then actually available during game play. This move by Sony and Guerrilla Games is surprising considering the previous quality of their games and consoles."''

This contains a couple implications- that Killzone 3 is an inferior game (by what standard?) and that the PS3 is an inferior console (presumably to the Xbox 360). These are both opinions and speculation since neither has been released yet. Let readers draw their own conclusions based on the facts (and speculation) presented in the previous paragraphs.

''"Some gamers speculate that this could very possibly be the 'last gasp for air' from a dying breed of gaming consoles."''

This is hearsay. There are millions of "gamers." What authoritative source speculates this? If there is one, then it should be provided. Otherwise, the statement should be stricken. (Furthermore, what "breed of gaming consoles" is referred to here? The as-yet-unreleased PS3? the entire Playstation line?)

''"The suspicious timing of this maneuver comes on the heals of the release of rival Microsoft's Xbox 360 which boasts superior graphics and processing power."''

Superior graphics and processing power to what? The PS2? Killzone 3 is being developed for the PS3. By most accounts (which themselves are preliminary, since the PS3 design is not finalized yet) the PS3 will have quantitatively equal or greater graphics and processing power than the Xbox360.

Nevertheless, the characterization of the timing as "suspicious" is unfair.. the trailer was shown at the 2005 E3 convention- a place where you would expect such a trailer to be shown (regardless of its integrity), and about 6 months before the worldwide release of the Xbox360.

See Killzone 2.

Bias in 4th paragraph?

"Inferior game producers and console manufactures have traditionally advertised higher resolution screen shots then actually available during game play. This move by Sony and Guerrilla Games is surprising considering the previous quality of their games and consoles."

This contains a couple implications- that Killzone 3 is an inferior game (by what standard?) and that the PS3 is an inferior console (presumably to the Xbox 360). These are both opinions and speculation since neither has been released yet. Let readers draw their own conclusions based on the facts (and speculation) presented in the previous paragraphs.

"Some gamers speculate that this could very possibly be the 'last gasp for air' from a dying breed of gaming consoles."

This is hearsay. There are millions of "gamers." What authoritative source speculates this? If there is one, then it should be provided. Otherwise, the statement should be stricken. (Furthermore, what "breed of gaming consoles" is referred to here? The as-yet-unreleased PS3? the entire Playstation line?)

"The suspicious timing of this maneuver comes on the heals of the release of rival Microsoft's Xbox 360 which boasts superior graphics and processing power."

Superior graphics and processing power to what? The PS2? Killzone 3 is being developed for the PS3. By most accounts (which themselves are preliminary, since the PS3 design is not finalized yet) the PS3 will have quantitatively equal or greater graphics and processing power than the Xbox360.

Nevertheless, the characterization of the timing as "suspicious" is unfair.. the trailer was shown at the 2005 E3 convention- a place where you would expect such a trailer to be shown (regardless of its integrity), and about 6 months before the worldwide release of the Xbox360.
