i picked up my pre-order demo card earlier today.
i went to one gamestop and they didnt know what the fuck i was talking about even tho they had a KZ2 poster right behind them that stated there was a pre-order bonus!!!
so i left with a big smile on my face because they made me laugh. i called up another gamestop, they had it. i was in and out in under 5 mins with my pre-order card

So far I've only heard about Amazon's deal:
"Pre-order "Killzone 2" for PS3 and get Amazon exclusive PlayStation Home costumes for your Home avatar"
If that's your thing, it's basically costume parts. You can make them look completely like ISA or Helghast .. or mix and match the gear.

I guess we're going to get an official announcement on the KZ2 launch pretty soon?
Collector's Editions, Pre-order bonuses, etc...
A lot of these have already gone out, but the PS blog hasn't updated regarding it yet.
Monday perhaps?

I just bought Killzone from Gamestop today. I made sure to get a good quality disc/case out of the used area. I missed Killzone 2 so much I just had to do something to fill the void. Man, the controls in this are somewhat similar but there's no weight and it has the "camera on a stick" feeling like every other FPS. Killzone 2 really revolutionizes FPS controls for consoles.. so awesome compared to the original.
Some other things I've noticed (in the first couple of checkpoints so far):
The audio is super compressed and non directional. All audio sounds like it's right next to you.
Everything has this hazy washed out look to it. I hope this gets better further on in the game.
The voice acting is hilariously bad as well as some of the script lines.
I'm having fun though. It's good to be seeing ISA and Helghasts again, even if they don't look as awesome as Killzone 2 ones.
I'm starting to contemplate trying to find out what format all the cut scenes are in and see if I can get a pristine collection of cutscenes. The ones on YouTube suck.

That game is pretty much garbage. There is absolutely nothing that seperates it in terms of gameplay from the run of the mill FPS. I do like the story however. You're right about the voice acting which can be awful, but I love templar and hakkuh(sp?). I'm not a fan of rico though, he's just way over the top.
I agree with you on the sound, it sounds ridiculous, and the hazy look also adds to the games already choppiness.
Schrade said:
I almost finished my play through, 2 levels to go.
The assault rifles feel indeed pretty light when compared to KZ2, but you'll get more heavier gear later on.
KZ1 plays on Vekta and KZ2 on Helghan, Helghan got heavier gravity than Vekta
Try to set the audio to surround in the options, the default is stereo. BUT it's PS2 after all, so don't expect any wonders.
There is loads of variety in the environment with all kinds of fake HDR effects and scattered light stuff. The poor PS2 is quite often at its limit, but it's manageable since the gameplay is so slow and tactile.
The voice acting in some of the cut scenes gets better. Especially the later ones.
Some of the character designs are awesome. I really like Hakha and Rico.
I said it before and I say it again: the jump from KZ1 to KZ2 is a quantum leap. It feels like they skipped a console gen or something.

Pure comedy gold post from one of our friends at TeamXbox :lol
well , just remember it's an 2004 game on PS2 , it look very good on PS3 tho ( way better than on PS2 ) , try use surround since the game use Dolby Pro Logic II , the later levels has better designs , better guns too .
and man , play death matches with some bots on the beach it's awesome .

My only local video game store (Tasmania lol, south of Australia) is an EB, and they are doing like a limited edition metal tin for pre-orders.
Side note, Sev looks like he could be Jake Gylenhaal's (sp) uncle or something haha.

It's certainly nowhere near as natural, from the starting point, nore is it quite as fluid, but it's also not deficient once you get use to it. Besides, the DS3/SixAxis is a huge improvement in stick quality over the DS2. I think it really comes down to the software /how the sticks are tuned for the game. PDZ has worse aiming than any PS3 FPS, imo.

I have huge gigantic he-man claws and I'm not bothered with the DS3. As a matter of fact, I never understood how people could have a problem with it (People also say their thumbs hit together). I think people are just holding/using it wrong.
Either way: Mr.Truant, there is a 360 to PS3 adapter, and also: There's the PS3 mouse controller if you prefer that. It's 50 dollars this week at best-Buy.

My hands are large and the Playstation 3 controllers are very small in my hands but I can still control Killzone 2 ok. Granted it's not natural for me since I prefer Mouse and Keyboard but I can get by. My hands start to cramp up after a while though :-/
Killzone 2 controls like a dream. Once you start playing you pretty much forget about anything else but the awesomeness that is the game.
All of my impressions above are based on the Multiplayer beta.

I've seen people control the DS3 with the middle of their thumbs on the sticks (or even with the side of the thumb joint). I don't know how it's possible to play precisely like that.
It's not..
And I think he means people have their index finger and middle finger on all 4 shoulder buttons, which is super uncomfortable. I only hold it like that when I'm flying in Warhawk.
Baha said:
Having your index fingers on L2/R2 is about a million times worse for you hand than just using the pointer fingers to alternate between the L1/L2 / R1R2 buttons on each side. It creates far more tension in the center of your palm. Also, depending on how your hand is wired (for lack of a better term) the pointer and index fingers on a hand can often be somewhat tied to one anothers movement. Meaning that making a motion with one can often result in the other involentarilly doing the same.
But if you aren't having problems, that's cool. I've just seen a lot of casual gamers do it and start messing up. It's probably less of a problem than people blatantly using the DS sticks improperly and then complaining about how they don't work.
