:D I was thinking this before I ever saw that. A primary reasons I think GG would do a great OTS is because they make an attempt at giving the player realistic weight and momentum (even if it's mostly faked through gunsway). I think they'd come up with some pretty sick player animation. I think it would push the genre forward instead of just treading in place like we've seen the last decade.

I don't know... I just think they're a smart developer and they'd do it right.

Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer third person games to first person games and I think GG could pull it off if they wanted to. I guess if they did do it then the comparisons would shift from CoD to GoW.

Hopefully they include him in the game somehow. Even it's just a small cutscene where he's in the background with that exact same facial expression.

Reading through the original thread is funny. Large quantity of "it looks ok, i guess" people being destroyed as the trailer came out

Thing I disliked the most about the original KZ1 is that your guns had a deliberate tendency to miss the target...by several feet.

Actually, I have to agree with that comment. The bullet spread was so large that I often wondered why they even bothered with a reticule. I guess it was to indicate 'this is the centre of the screen', rather than 'this is where your bullets will go'. :D

And so began the start of the KZ2 gifs to silence the beasts.

I remember arguing with one guy (this retard) who said that 1.) the 360 could produce better graphics than KZ2's and 2.) GoW had better graphics. I mostly got upset at him because he got a 1up article done on him because he broke 12 xboxs. What a tard.

I tried looking for it in the old thread, but there's way too many posts. I did notice that a lot of people have gotten banned since then though: Altogether Andrews, Borys, etc

Do we know yet how many maps there are in the multiplayer portion of the game? I seem to recall that Killzone 1 had a rather small number.

As well, it seems that Australia IGN is a little lukewarm on the game. I guess that's the problem when there are such lofty expectations on a game like this.

Took about two and a half years, but it looks like the PS3 is starting to flex its graphical superiority over the 360.

Killzone 1 should be up for download on the Playstation store right now. Missed opportunity by Sony.

Haha, true.

Well, I have a 60GB unit, but I would rather spend 10 dollars and download the PS2 version and play it off the hdd than try to hunt down a disc version. Sony could get games emulated on a game by game basis.

That's a very bad idea. They definitely don't want to draw anymore attention to KZ1 than they have to.

Wait until the snow level.

At least it was hard for me 3-4 years ago, or longer than that?

I need to grab a save.

So true. It'd be a big mistake to ever release Killzone on PSN. It would hurt Killzone 2 more than help it. I'd rather a full on PS3 remake/revamp of the original anyways.

lol man, the game is kind of a mess -- always has been, and it doesn't exactly get *better* with age. Regardless, it's fun to play, as the core mechanics of it are actually quite good (its just a technical problem shitstorm running the show, lol Killzone 1 has weather in gameplay amirite?!)

It's solid for people who can look past all of that (or who are so blinded with KZ2 pre-cum love that they can't see anything but awesome).

Damn is killzone really that bad? :lol

Click to expand...

I don't think it's bad. It just has some flaws that would give people a bad impression of KZ2, and Sony doesn't want that. The AI is very questionable, the framerate can bog down very hard at times and it's really linear.

Have you ever played ZOE and ZOE 2? Notice the difference between those 2? Now if you were wanting someone to be interested in the series, would you suggest that they check out the original or just go straight to the sequel?

Another thing, I like how this game is taking after GoW2 and RE5 by making the release date on a Friday, more games need to adopt this

so my roommate just picked up a ps3.
Is the killzone beta still going?
Anyone have a key?

Hopefully this isn't bannable.. I know asking for keys is usually frowned upon but since the early rush has died down.

KZ1 is really long and has some impressive things about it. The same things people look at KZ2 and go "wow" about started with KZ1-- incredible attention to detail, animation, visual design, etc-- but it was hampered by framerate and the camera stuff made me nauseous.

Yeah, Fridays are really nice. I never have to worry about getting work done in advance for a release I'm looking forward to when it's on a Friday. I can just soak it all in.

Great idea. I never played it since I don't really like handhelds, but it would be perfect for PSN in full 1080p 60FPS.

I can't believe I haven't played much in the past two weeks. Guess I'll have to jump online tonight for the final hurrah.

Yea, I remember there were even KZ1 gifs that floated around.

The similarities are amazing.

The first one was horrible. It's gameplay was mediocre at best, and not worth picking up even if it's to become acquainted with the KZ universe. Just read up on it. Or if you want to see the incredible night-and-day difference this game turned from the first to the second. It's unbelievable how far the feel and controls came, just from playing the 1st and now the beta.

Nifty, I grabbed a full EU save anyway, but I'll do that first.

I wouldn't sway everyone from playing it, I certainly liked it when I played it back when.

Now instead of enjoying the gameplay I can take in everything else and have my mind boggled at the crummy framerate :lol

edit: also, this gif would make a great "DO NOT WANT" gif, cause you can't really tell he's saying "ahhh shit"

You should make a gif about 10 seconds after this, it would be a great bailout.gif

If there's no snow in the single player I really hope GG offer a winter themed multiplayer map. Complete with arctic gear for the Helghast and ISA. Maybe it's just the fact it's snowing here right now, but I want to see this engine pull off a blizzard and volumetric snow.

what i meant is the AI is bad and those are boring enemies
