This is probably one of the biggest hopes for Vita this year. The handheld has been doing exceptionally well for indie announcements recently but it hasn’t had the same sort of momentum for so-called “AAA” style games.
It’s also lacking a really decent first person shooter, Resistance was just average and Black Ops Declassified wasn’t up to much at all. Killzone Mercenary has a lot to live up to.
Thankfully, it seems like a smart concept for a handheld approach to the Killzone universe and it has looked solid enough in all the demonstrations we’ve seen so far.
Now a trickle of images has appeared (via AGB) that also look pretty decent. They’re presented without commentary but titled as screenshots and they do appear to be taken from in-game – as the aliasing would indicate.

The screens actually look pretty nice. (Inb4 teal&orange rant) :P

Going to be a visual feast, if those are anything to go by! There have only been a handful of games which have really got the very best out of the Vita so far, with the previous main FPS titles looking quite horrid. Even Uncharted feels lacking, in my opinion…

I felt the same about Uncharted on Vita. Personally, WipEout 2048 is the best looking game on Vita for me, but i’ve never seen Virtua Tennis on the console.

Smashing looking stuff. Hope it’s running smoothly and making the Vita look utterly awesome.

Screens look great but a FPS on Vita doesn’t really float my boat.

The quality looks great, but I find the Killzone environments quite boring and samey.

If the game plays as good as it looks, it could be a real console seller.

Impressive lighting, I wonder how many AI can be present at once. And I hope there will be some sizable outdoor sections.

At last!
A challenger to Virtua Tennis for best looker on the Vita.

I’m liking the good sizable scale of environments. With the first comment on it being super orange and teal though.

Everything these days is orange and teal. Your not cool if your not orange and teal!

If those are straight from the game, I’m amazed at the quality :)
