are you expecting it soon? how is sony distributing it

 

[makingmusic476]

5/5! Fuck yeah!

I expect so see many more perfect scores come February.

 

[dreamer3kx]

wow

 

[Yagharek]

Just with regards to this pic posted earlier:

Why dont they add more weight to the dead bodies? It looks a bit odd how the leg of the dead guy moves when bumped, in contrast to the great animation of the living characters.

 

[Zophar]

I think we have a new bailout.gif :lol

According to my biomechanics instructor the leg weighs approximately W/7. Where W is the total body weight.

Therefore about 16 - 18 stones for this dead man.

18/7 is ~2.57 stones (16kg)

I think you can kick it like this swing dead leg. Or you could try it at home.

I created that GIF ages ago in the thread and mentioned it would be great for use in other threads. That "Oh shit" is awesome hehe.

Nice to see that the allgames link has it on the first page

Your estimate seems reasonable, I would have guessed between ~15 and 20kg for an average male leg as that character seems to be. Of course, we also have to assume that Helghan gravity would be close to Earth gravity for any estimates based on living room leg kicking exercises to be considered relevant

I know it's nitpicking and I'm not hanging any real importance on it if its not accurate, but it was just an observation/point of interest. Ive certainly seen worse ragdoll physics in other games, so it would be interesting to see if this is accurate or not. To me it just seems *a little* off.

 

[cjdunn]

wow

=O

 

[hulot]

So on Elite they remove the crosshair....

 

[lupinko]

I WANT NOW!!!!!!!!

Feb 27 is too long. ='(

 

[Flunkie]

Media blackout.. getting.. tough.

Must not.. read.. thread.

Must.. retain.. sanity.

 

[Clinton514]

Click the link as well, it has like 134 gifs!

Damn, I can't look at all of those. Don't want to spoil the feeling.

 

[lupinko]

I know it's an old build, but watching the preview build videos from gamersyde on my hdtv, is like so Keanu Reeves woah.

And this is just a low bitrate video too, and it already looks like a generation ahead of what other companies are doing.

:bow :bow :bow GG

The Dutch are too good, once again, this, Black Book and Miffy = dutch domination.

Are we going to start the official thread? Wollan?

Hi. Question for Ms. Bellamy. In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a... (sniggering) magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Seriously though, you're looking too close at things.

 

[Angelus Errare]

:lol at the Itchy and Scratchy quote

 

[Rapping Granny]

:lol :lol

 

[McLovin]

Yeah that quote pretty much sums it up :lol

 

[Doc Evils]

wow

GAMING BUKKAKE!

ALL OVER MY FAACE!

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

wow

that must hurt

 

[overthehill99]

I gotta replay KZ1 and Liberation before this comes out. As I remember, the story is amazing. I want to catch up on it.

ditto.

 

[Azzwanker]

So OPM-USA gave KZ2 5/5 loving it

 

[overthehill99]

ditto.

Plus they're not that long either? If I play them both on Normal it shouldn't take me more then 3 weeks or so. Probably even less.

 

[Fizzle]

wow

Is this a very old build? I remember loving the blood spatter on floor.

 

[sykoex]

Not sure if this is old but I found this in-depth interview with Killzone 2's soundtrack composers. There are pictures included of the music being recorded at Abbey Road Studios.

http://www.music4games.net/Features_Display.aspx?id=324

Apparently the score is 90 minutes long and Sony Music may be a publishing a Killzone 2 soundtrack album,

Yeh that one's from a very old build.

It looks better than in some games (Gears of War really stands out with the way these manly sacks of meat turn into plastic bags once they die), but it could certainly look better, and add another layer of welcome graphical consistency in the game world.

Seriously though, you're looking too close at things.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, lads.

Would have been awesome if they released it on PSN with the frame-rate issues tweaked out of it. But now I've got to go find a used copy somewhere

The motion of the dead man's leg seems natural to me when you take into account the speed the back of his leg is traveling at.

Not to mention people like having bodies move when you interact with them.

 

[elohel]

Nope.

probably a dumb question but....are you allowed to say when you have the final review copy?

how does that stuff work, are you allowed to say "i have a review copy" but you aren't allowed to talk about it or wut?

just curious

Go back further from that quote and you'll be surprised :lol

You need to contact a GAF elder. He'll guide you from there.

There's a difference between moving and flailing. Dead bodies don't normally flail. Luckily, it looks like Killzone 2 fares much better than other games, but I think a little more 'weight' to the dead bodies would look better.

 

[elohel]

errr...sry bout that

got it now lol

 

[TTP]

damn thats strange, since a lot of people in europe got it.

I have no idea. AFAIK no one got it yet in the country I live/work in. Not even the local official mag.

In all honesty I hope to get the very latest build even if that means getting it in February. I hate reviewing unfinished games.

Yeah I posted it earlier. One of the Guerrilla dudes mentioned the game clocking in at around 11 hours.

Especially when you kick them in the junk.

[roMonster]

Does anyone know if the leaked ERSB spoilers are real?

I heard about them but didn't do any research because I don't want to get spoiled.

If they are real--that's almost two months of stepping on eggshells.
