Using the graphics engine employed by the PS3 console the advert features footage of a Killzone 2 battlefield and the path of a bullet travelling through the scene. Later this month the fully interactive version of the advert will be available for download. Lasting three minutes this will allow players to wander through the advert in real-time and enjoy the thrill of being 'inside' the battle. You can find more information on this unique machinima from Wired here.
