Support NeoGAF

[Private Hoffman]

Fair enough; can totally see why you'd say that.

But the fanboys have at least seen this latest trailer. The second part of that sentence... what are you basing that on? The fact that KZ1 sucked but Liberation was "great"?

I haven't even played KZ1.

I'm not tainted by any level of 'disgust' or 'letdown' that the series may have had on some people that played the original Killzone.

All I can compare it to are the games that I've currently played and loved, and have all had great reviews and gone on to sell millions.

At least from the multiplayer side of things, there is no disappointment from my end. I was disappointed HIGHLY by R2's multiplayer (co-op is still good fun even with some of the flaws).

KZ2 has exceeded my greatest expectations, and I can assure you those expectations were quite high given all the hype this game has received.

GG is always going to get shit on by people on the internet for KZ1. From what I've played of KZ2, they've finally delivered on their vision. I really wish people would cut the company some fucking slack at this point.

I don't understand why someone would take issue with fanboys hyping something though. They're in their own little contained thread, being excited alone, in their own little world, not pissing on your shoes...

Why do people feel the need to restore some kind of order to the GAF force? You don't. Say what you think and move on. no need to swipe at fanboys or touch things with ten foot poles. you're on teh interwebz.

[Metalmurphy]

Wait. People who think this looks amazing are the fanboys now?


oO

 

[The Faceless Master]

For those in the beta: you can aim down the sights of your weapon, correct? Is aiming tied to L1 or R3? And can you customize the controls?

the #1 thing i want is full control config... i'd set my controls up more like bad company...

 

[DrPirate]

Hmm, can't say I happy about this. It's a really small nitpick, but pressing the analog stick to zoom just irks me. It doesn't help that almost every shooter, first-person or otherwise, also uses L1 (or LT on 360) to aim.

I hated pressing R3 to go into aiming mode too.






...Until I played KZ2 demo. It's well implemented, and it works, don't worry about it.

 

[J-Rzez]

Hook, line and sinker. Too much to quote.

It was that it was placed in that situation though. The whole uncovering, everyone's wow'd, then found out that it was CG, later unveiled the game looks nearly as good, people said sloppy controls, controls now are tight, and now it's considered by many more impressive than the original trailer. It's just that KZ2 was a whip used by PS3 haters because of what it was. Now that it's been proven to be the real deal, they grasp to whatever they can possibly scrounge up to save face.

Sorry kids, the game's the real deal, it's up there with the best visuals even on PC, and thanks to it's none generic/horrid art, to me it pushes it beyond what I've played/seen in Crysis and such.

Crazy Ken is redeemed for the hardware's supposed nightmare set to work on. And there's years of life left in the PS3. Didn't even get to see GoW yet lol.

 

[RavenFox]

All I have to say is Wollan you have a friend for life and bless the motherfucking chips. RSX has just owned the day.

 

[Lord Error]

Holy shit, that was stupidly amazing. Environment barren of sun probably helps, but they simply nailed the look of the contemporary CG, as much as it's possible without making things CG. Kudos to GG and people at Studio Cambridge (who I hear have developed a good part of that crazy engine)

That's all you can do. See and react. I'd hope no one's asking for any more. Appreciate your comments. I had quoted 2 Minutes Turkish - he'd come across as slightly reactionary (to me at least).

Cheers.

 

[makingmusic476]

Absolutely stunning!

And the beta rocks!

Is it true that they're using the guys that worked on Heavenly Sword for the cut scenes? I remember hearing that in one of the dev interviews awhile back.

 

[Prezhulio]

such a good trailer. sony better up it's marketing with impact stuff like this for it's AAA titles come release

That was the 1UP special. When Shane went to their studio. They're pretty much using the same tech that they used with Andy Sirkis and company in Heavenly Sword.

WETA did the Heavenly sword cutscenes. I don't believe they are doing that for Killzone2. I think they said they were using many of the same techniques, and how they sort of mimic what is done in movies. Which shows, because unlike some other games with huge budgets (Halo3 for ex), this game doesn't have crappy animations.

Because it hurts some people it's on the PS3 exclusively, it turned out to be better than the real deal, and nothing else comes close outside of Crysis. There's no other explanation about it.

 

[ScissorHands]

Awesome lighting and effects. Not so sure about the Helghan models.

I think you already know the answer.

I still think Guerilla are being very clever on the graphics front, and I don't mean clever in the way it sounds, but I'll reserve judgement for when I see the game in motion with my own eyes.

All console developers have to be clever on the graphics front. Jebus, talk about trying to downplay the game's graphics..

 

[Drinky Crow]

looks almost as good as far cry 2 in-game

 

[Mango Positive]

Looks fantastic, but I couldn't help but notice the lack of FPS game play in the trailer.

 

[slider]

I think you already know the answer.

I was trying a new technique. Call it the slider move or being slider-esque.

 

[Insane Metal]

Awesome lighting and effects. Not so sure about the Helghan models.

JFC, this is one of the best things about the game... the character models and their art direction... actually the art direction for the game in general is fucking awesome. IMHO of course

 

[ianp622]

I know I'm a PS3 fanboy and all, but this really impresses me more than Crysis. The art direction, the lighting, and the environments all seem much more interesting. Not to mention the heft of the guns.

As someone who's looking to expand his PS3 library substantially (I downloaded Ratchet QFB AND bought it retail so I could add another title to the shelf for fucks sake) I can say that all the Sony fanboys are pissing me off hyping EVERY FUCKING RELEASE that is in the distant future, only to be let down 8 times out of 10.

So far, the ONLY game on PS3 that has demanded my attention and continues to keep me entranced is Uncharted. The ONLY one, and I own MGS4. (Singstar is a little different, but I love that too).

All i'm saying is, at various points in the trailers I've seen, I've sat back and thought to myself "Shit, this is a little too good to be true". And GENERALLY, when something looks to good to be true, it usually is.

So rather than get caught up in all the hype, I'll keep my comments as level headed and objective as possible.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Let's hope the single player doesn't partner you with retard A.I. characters like Liberation.

Stupid ass partners killed the game for me.

DO NOT WANT BABYSIT!

DO WANT FUCKIN' SHOOT THINGS!

It's not.

If you don't want to get caught up in the hype, that's fine.

Just wait till you get in the beta and experience it for yourself.

I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed or letdown.

 

[-viper-]

Holy shit. Killzone 2 is just looking better and better.

 

[Zeliard]

Gorgeous.

Just gorgeous.

Fair enough. You've been burnt by expectation and hype in the past.

I'll leave it there but there you do know there are potentially lots of avenues to explore with your standpoint. The most obvious being your blood pressure being on GAF!

I'm quite excited cos we're getting (limited) feedback from the beta players. I'm not into banging drums or hyperbole either. But if something like KZ2 does disappoint I'm not bummed about it too long.

You really should give Warhawk a go (assuming you haven't already?). I love that game.

Well, no one can make you enjoy certain games but...

I don't know...you didn't seem too level headed there lashing out at "fanboys" like that.

Played from start to finish with a friend; but since you're mintylurb you don't know what a friend is and since you own a PS3 you're not familiar with local co-op! lolz PS3lurb!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I'm glad to hear they're using similar technology to the Heavenly Sword guys, for the cutscenes, i still think HS is the most convincing for a released game.

Perhaps you should start having your own opinion about things in your hobby and stop looking at others making one for you.

You know, when JB1981 thinks it's impressive then it's got to be like game of the century.

Heavenly Sword's cutscenes made the game. I was completely enthralled the entire time, and it wasn't until well after I finished the game that I realized the plot was pretty damn weak. There wasn't much to the story, but the way they told it made it simply amazing.

Let's hope they get some amazing actors for KZ2 to accompany the awesome tech. Andy Serkis will be hard to beat.

 

[RavenFox]

Looks fantastic, but I couldn't help but notice the lack of FPS game play in the trailer.

So your saying this is the first trailer you've seen? Am rite? Someone give this poster a link with FPS gameplay please :-/ DUDE CUT THE CRAP THERE HAS BEEN MANY VIDS OF FPS GAMEPLAY.

It's drinky. We all know the game. If you been here long enough, it sort of rolls over you.

I have to give this one to you Marconelly, what an awesome response hahaha.

As if he's blaming others for games not meeting his expectations or satisfying his tastes.

 

[iceatcs]

And people trying downgrade the hype or this game. You can't, it is virtually impossible until day1.

I'm thinking of skipping R2 and just waiting for Killzone 2, need to read on some impressions.

I can't believe anyone would hang out with a racist pig who draws dick girls. And I have way more friends than you!

Anyway, I don't quite get your local co-op comment since you were playing Army of Two on your ps3.. Oh, proud multi-console owner since 2006 ;b
