I s'pose I have been a member of the R2 Defense Force for too long. I never played KZ2 so I don't have much to say about it, but damn I want it so bad.

From the beta I think it's a really good shooter, but it's not the top shooter. I'm eager to play it more.

Shooters are more diversified then ever, sure many elements are similar but each one plays a different way. I do not think there can be a top shooter anymore. If you mean the top played shooter thats different but in terms of gameplay there is no top shooter.

At least that is my view. Play any shooter for a few weeks then change to another, you cannot play it the same way. Perhaps you can with games in a series like COD, but even then many games change quite a bit between entries R1 is nothing like R2. KZ1 seems radically different from KZ2 also.

Niiiiiiiccceee!!!!!

One thing I absolutely loved about GoW1&2 is how incredibly satisfying it was to get headshots. The sound it makes and their bodies standing for a moment before toppling over it just so rewarding. :lol

I LOVE that Killzone 2 has that same feel.

Just played the first two levels of Killzone. The framerate is horrible and makes the game almost unplayable. Shame on Guerilla for releasing such a poor performing game.

However, despite that I think it's great for a PS2 Ego-Shooter. Iron-Sights, running, squads, all that stuff which is standard today - KZ had it. Were they the first?

:eek: quite possibly the coolest headshot I have ever seen and it wasn't even the player doing it. Do want. Fam is picking up a HD set in the next few days and I might spoil myself and play KZ2 on it as my very first PS3 game. Now just have to find that BC console.

My eyes must suck, I don't see the framerate issues in Killzone 1. Maybe at a few spots (the beginning is one I think) but most of the game looks like it runs fine to me, the SP at least.

Do you means dips or just overall constant like it is running under 20fps?

There was only a closed public beta (30k invited I believe). Nothing remains now but the actual game launch.

My impression from beta: Best playing multiplayer shooter so far this gen. The feel is absolutely spot on.

I was in the Beta and was blown away by the experience. It was already so polished. The feel of the guns, the movement, the sound and the strategy of combining certain classes and abilities.

Constanty around 20 to 25 I guess. It's horrible and the whole aiming is broken because of that.

Come on, the frame issues do not break the game to the point where can't aim. The aiming is a whole different issue all together. It's very manual. Turn the sensitivity down really low to get a good feel for it.

That's a great addition to MP, imo. I want to go crazy mixing and matching different badges. The biggest downer I had was that I had unlocked the tagging ability for the Sniper just as the beta ended. :(

Have you tried turning the aim assist on for K1? When I played it, it felt a little loose to me at the default sensitivity. But when I turned aim assist on, it felt tighter.

I see what your saying Clinton. Some people make the framerate in KZ1 seem like it runs at 12 fps. I recently played though the entire game less than 3 weeks ago and had no problems what so ever aiming. I did turn down the sensitivity because I felt it moved too fast for my taste but once I found the setting I liked I had zero aiming problems.

Vista users joy! :/

I finally uploaded 2 DreamScene clips on zip.

First one is the chief:

And the another one is the nuke one:

Sorry only 720p because of original source is 720p but it does look really nice on my 24inch desktop background. Some hips but still almost smooth loop.

let me get this right, gamestop.com will be emailing codes out beginning 2/3/09 but the demo codes aren't valid until 2/5/09?

just wanna make sure before i pre-order from an actual gamestop store vs. gamestop.com and have to wait an extra weekend to play. BTW, is there any info on what the demo will actually include?? single player only, online only, mixture of both?

I am thinking of grabbing the gamestop pre order bonus. Only so I can show the demo off to friends who have been on the fence about buying a ps3. It should convert them easily!!

My closest Gamestop here in Madison, WI hasn't even received the codes yet. Told me I could bring in my receipt when they do arrive.

Ya, Im gonna go get another code, and before you bash me for it here is why. The code I got for it, when I scratched it off, I must have been too strong or something because I scratched the second set of numbers off (weight lifting bites me in the ass). So I'm going to go to gamestop, show them the card, and get another one. I know, Rikyfree= epic fail.

Probably a stupid idea but I'll say it anyway; could GG patch in day/night versions for all maps?

Why stupid idea?

I dont know how their engine is, but some games have pre-baked shadows/textures for night time or daytime. In other words, its not a real time lighting situation and simply turning the sun on/off is not the way to get night time.

So if they have an engine that supports it, I don't see why they would not have day/night/dawn/dusk versions of maps.

Another thing that games rarely do is flip maps left/right. This would be a good way to keep something slightly fresh, much like car games have mirror tracks.

OPM Review score 5/5

Details from ZBOX of Xbox forums
http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=607190
Killzone 2 - 5/5

"The buddies alongside you in each battle have been expertly tuned to provide just enough cover and support to actively get your back on occasions, while never making it feel like they could acchieve every objective alone."

"...the believability and consistency are hallmarks of the Killzone 2 expereince. None of the circumstances, weapons you find, locations you visit, or frankly any of the details in the world feel arbitrary. The world is consistently realized in its unappealing flavor."

"...filled with moments that can handily be described as inspiring awe"

- bots in offline multiplayer "perform pretty well"

"Without a doubt Killzone fans, action, and shooter fans of any stripe will isntantly tag this sequel as a powerful contender for teh best game of 2009"
