We have continued working with Guerrilla over the past two years, researching and developing new technology. Their PS3 epic Killzone 3 was released this week and looks utterly spectacular.

If you’d like to find out more about Second Intention’s contribution to Killzone 3, come to Will’s GDC presentation on Thursday morning, where he will talk in detail about the SPU-based occlusion system we created for the title:

Practical Occlusion Culling on PS3

Killzone 2 released

Last year we completed our fourth and fifth research and development contracts for Guerrilla, building technology for their groundbreaking PS3 title Killzone 2. The game is out now and has gathered hugely positive feedback from both press and players.

Will says: “I had a fantastic time working with the Guerrilla tech team these last three years, and it’s been very rewarding to see the boxes on store shelves and finally sit down to play the game in my living room. The team at Guerrilla should be very proud of what they’ve created!”

If you are interested in learning more about the technology behind the game, including some of our contributions, you should come to Michiel’s lecture at GDC09 in March.
