How come I never see chespace fapping for any of the awesome games on the PS3 as of late?, like LBP or KZ2?

Wat? I thou he working in MGS and probably don't have PS3.

 

[Flunkie]

:lol This thread is already bigger then the Gears official thread.

:lol

 

[Rikyfree]

Ok. The things that totally rock....

-The lighting is the best in a console game to date by quite a bit
-The smoke and atmosphere is the best in a game to date
-The wind blowing things around just looks amazing
-Best animations in a shooter to date
-No game combines this all so well. This is the most technically impressive console game to date IMO.

The drivable mech. I can confirm this. =)

Hey! Don't tease now

 

[Rikyfree]

Not a tease. Real deal.

Ban bet or no go :lol

 

[StuBurns]

Better not be, they never control well, and I've only heard bad things about the tank controls.

 

[Flunkie]

Wasn't the mech in one of the early videos? Or was that a tank? Or am I dreaming?

The level they've been demoing ends with a tank fight.

 

[Blablurn]

Holy

Fucking

Shit

 

[Rikyfree]

Ban bet or no go :lol

Ill take that bet based on what I've been told. The person I learned it from played at the play session. He has finished the game already and has the swag to prove it.

 

[iceatcs]

Well, they can always improve it.
And it better to have both in there, otherwise all the reviews will add some negative point because just plain FPS. We need more of this kind. Too many similar shooter games.

Possibly, but I'd much rather they just focus on the standard shooter/cover mechanics, just make it as tight as humanly possible.

I doubt it, a lot of high rated shooters like COD4 have nothing outside of shooting.

Well here's proof. He's gonna kill me, hopefully he edits this before it gets widespread.

Looks more like it's a gun turret on the side of a helicopter or something.

 

[Hazaro]

Mech mech as in Trailer, or gun turret thing?

Let's have a .gif too.

Well the picture you linked to is clearly the thing in Hazaro's post.

In the thread 2 people post "mech" so I am still wondering.

Mech in trailer looks like a walker btw.

 

[DrPirate]

Well the picture you linked to is clearly the thing in Hazaro's post.

Which looks like you're defending an air attack from the suspended capital ships of ISA forces.

Which is going to be EPIC if it's not JUST shooting targets.

 

[HK-47]

Looks good

 

[Zen]

Let's have a .gif too.

The original Shellshock had a base you could go back to in between missions.

This turret might be on the side of one of the Vektan Cruisers.

Think about that.

Real time travel between areas between missions, where you might be attacked by a Helghast Air strike?

Sounds good to me.

 

[Hazaro]

Full disclaimer: I'm a 360 guy with no PS3.

But uh.... huh.... was anyone else somehow disappointed by this? I just didn't see any variety in gameplay or environment. It really has me worried for the gameplay.

The graphics look absolutely amazing though, and the animations.. my god, does Guerrilla have its own mo-cap studio?

You are worried about the enviorments?

Are you kidding?

There are going to be like 9 types at least. Killzone had amazing maps and enviroments, don't worry a thing about how the maps are going to turn out.

Oh no, you are not making me think about something like that.
How am I supposed to sleep for the next 4 months now?

 

[ilikeme]

Well this trailer made me a fan. The sound and graphics make for an awesome atmosphere. If the game is actually fun to play and has good multiplayer?

Hot damn wow.

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

Holy fucking shit.

The budget, I want to know it.

Thinking about it, have we seen anything without that tag on top yet?

 

[Tempy]

There are a couple of errors in these frames.

Orange target markers still visible.
White reticule in the middle still visible.
And since you don't actually ever see the turret from outside, there's a big hole in the geometry below it and some warped textures

The Beta test is most like from a Beta build, or maybe it's just a term people are used to.

 

[Wollan]

Tempy, just wondering if you folks have been given a firm release date yet internally? I mean, down to the specific day?

 

[-Winnie-]

PLEASE LET THERE BE A HELGHAST CAMPAIGN.

It won't look much better at release. The pre-alpha is just a talking point. It's obvious a ton of work early on was making sure the graphics were unparalleled after the whole CG fiasco.

The graphical fidelity isn't going to skyrocket in the next 3-4 months. Though I'm sure a lot of potential graphical hiccups will be ironed out. Also, this probably also refers to parts of the code they're still tweaking (entirely unrelated to the graphics).

Ah, I thought those were damage indicators. Haven't played this yet, so I'm not sure.

Couldn't it be looking at someone else from, oh nevermind - I'm not worried about it :lol

I don't think I would expect it to.

I was wondering out of curiosity however.

You'd think that would be something they would of played up, maybe after R2 comes out.

Spoiler

No

Main plus would have to be Helghast pistol + starting gun >>> ISA crap
That shotgun secondary never gets old. So useful too.

Plus you know, the awesome narratives and speeches you would hear.

Why oh why would you not ever see the surrounding geometry, unless of course you spawned in the turret during an air raid, and that Turret is clearly on the side of something that's very certainly in the Air.

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Ok, so I finally saw the trailer, Gametrailers HD one.

I'm not saying anything more, than the very first trailer I saw got me far more excited than that one did.

It wasn't shit by ANY stretch of the imagination. But it's not what you're all making it out to be. I was expecting this phenomenal trailer. The very first one is still the one that gets me the most excited, by a stretch.

 

[StuBurns]

I guess if you're in the plane thing already, you would man the turret from in the plane. Like in COD4.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Now seeing THIS is what gets me excited about this game.

 

[KTallguy]

I think this game looks really nice, but I'm really tired of looking at it.

I'm also hoping it has something really fun and unique to offer other than uber graphics.
All I know is that there's a cool cover system.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

lulz at the trolls and their prolapsed assholes swinging in the wind.

I'm gonna play this game wearing a kriegsmarine cap and gasmask.

Have they said anything about coop? I haven't heard anything.

From the videos I could imagine an awesome 'buddy' coop system fitting in very well.

Basically they've said none for release, maybe down the road in DLC. Unfortunately ;'(

Ill take that bet based on what I've been told. The person I learned it from played at the play session. He has finished the game already and has the swag to prove it.

wat.

what did he say about the finished game?

Asshole prolapse normally describes a medical condition wherein the walls of the rectum protrude through the anus and hence become visible outside the body.

Disappointing, however it's a lot to deliver I guess. I have high hopes for the title after hearing a lot of good (and yet not NDA breaching) reports from the Beta people.

 

[Crayon]

Fuck that. This is exactly why I hate learning new things.

 

[Private Hoffman]

How come I never see chespace fapping for any of the awesome games on the PS3 as of late?, like LBP or KZ2?

After giving Perfect Dark Zero an 'A' rating, he's rapidly looking to invent a new letter of the alphabet to place before an A so that he can give it to Killzone 2.


That, or he's very hard at work on the next Forza game! I suspect the latter.

 

[Memphis Reigns]

For me, at this point, I'm more impressed than ever by the atmosphere the game creates. Not simply by the graphics.

I got flashbacks of playing Manhunt when it first came out long ago while watching the KZ2 sniper gameplay.

Seeing the atmosphere from the first gameplay footage was what sold me. Dark gritty future sci fi setting? I'm in.

Whats funny is that I had a dream last night in first person and it was the Killzone 2 universe. I couldn't tell if I was playing it in my dream, or if i was actually one of the guys in the game, cuz I had a gun in front of me...anyway, point is, the nailed it perfectly if i can recreate it in my dream (or nightmare).

:lol I had the same dream.

 

[drohne]

ot, but first person shooter dreams are AWESOME. i recently had a dream that i was running around something resembling mgs2's big shell with something like a covenant carbine and shooting these fat grey mucousy aliens RIGHT IN THE FACE FROM REALLY FAR AWAY -- i think this was initially a videogame i was playing and then something that was actually happening. or maybe both simultaneously. if life resembled videogames at all, war would be SUPER FUN

 

[Crayon]

ot, but first person shooter dreams are AWESOME.

Turn based squad game dreams are NOT AWESOME.

I had one where I was an XCOM operative and I had to go whereever some asshole told me to. I had to stand there untill I got orders again, and could only see what was in front of me, not even able to look around. Of course I could hear people dying and aliens snarling.

The worst part was that I couldn't tell if whoever was playing was any good or not. It was very disturbing.
