why wouldnt a cover system make sense in multiplayer?
Click to expand...

For as frenetic as Killzone 2 can be, it would disrupt the flow of the game. Cover works well for games that are 'forward' in design. And by forward, I mean that you progress forward and defeat waves of enemies. It makes sense in single player, which is paced a bit slower.

I've also never seen a cover system in multiplayer really work out all too well.

i guess that makes sense, although i like how gears does it. i would think that maybe with the destructible environments and such it would be pretty cool. see someone just covering the whole time? blow away the cover. fancy

The way the cover works in SP is just a way to help progress forward, in the typical scripted shooter design, you have essentially travel forward with enemies coming backward to meet you, so when you get to each other there can be walls between you to utilize, but in MP the maps are obviously designed to be an arena and you can always get behind a person, so cover wouldn't work well.

I guess most people here have seen the MP trailer, so now you all have to imagine those mp4s with 32 fuckers blowing shit up, muzzle flashes, smoke and particles/debris flying around. It's like the ultimate war porn.

I can't believe this visual masterpiece will be out in 2.5 - 3 months. Any word on if they're doing a limited edition again?

I usually don't go for CE, but I did pick up R2's CE and liked the figurine and art book. If there is an art book covering the Killzone world and a Helghast figuring I would go for that in a heartbeat.

can't wait until Feb, the beta is great and all but all stats and experience/perks get wiped after betas, so its a bit sad to finally get certain abilities temporarily :p

Some previous MP previews have talked about the special abilities and combining secondary abilities with diff classes. All I have to say is, its awesome, TFC meets CoD meets CS :)

I am surprised by the number of positive impressions. Even posters like snoopers, who were very harsh on the game initially, were extremely impressed with the single player campaign.

I really hope they can deliver a great game to go along with the visuals.

I just played through several chapters of the SP campaign. Can't say anything since there's an embargo, but I've been quite negative about the game until E3 and I just wanted to share that I absolutely love it. And that it looks incredible, hyperbole aside. Waaaay better than E3/GDC demo level. Chapter 2-3 is gonna kick some serious ass in terms of atmosphere and immersion, it really feels like you're in the middle of a war, I've never seen something like this. Props Guerrilla, you did it !

Yaaaaaaay! RiotPelaaja played it all and said its "Fucking excellent" so it's good to hear such positive single player impressions. Can't wait for the embargo to end!

Go Guerrilla!!

I think both Gears and the Rainbow Six games do cover fine in multiplayer. I actually prefer games with it honestly.

Those videos are pretty damn impressive. If it wasn't for the above-average textures, I'd consider this almost-perfect image quality from a console game.

The voice-over for the Helghast in those videos is pretty fucking awesome as well! Hopefully this bodes well for the dialogue in the final game. I'm super impressed with the destruction in the MP, and that pretty much everything casts proper dynamic shadows when your muzzle flash lightens up the room.

Oh, and the sound is amazing. And the skybox with the lightning too.

I think God of War 3 will be technically amazing enough but like Resistance 2 it will probably sacrifice an overall outstanding graphical presentation for scale. Which, to be honest? FINE BY ME. Some of that shit in Resistance 2 was fucking MINDBLOWING and I like that more than just having that rock over there in the dirt with great textures. To hell with that rock, give me big, huge pretty shit to look at. I don't care about pipes and rocks.
Click to expand...
Well, Resistance 2 SP looks fucking amazing, but shouldn't it be easier for GOW3 to look better as its a game with a fixed camera?

Hey, i'm glad for you, it means you didn't feel you wasted 60$. I felt like braking the disc after i finished it.

And, i gotta say, about KZ2....


....the shit on the wall braking, and having physics, was the wildest shit i've seen in a game. Gears 2 has shit like that too, stuff blows over, and falls and shit, so i don't know what they are doing different, maybe it was the combination of sound, with how it was braking, doesn't matter, that shit looked like i was watching a movie or something. Really awesome, now that's some of that physics stuff that really impresses.

Hopefully the controls aren´t sluggish anymore. The GC demo didn´t feel quite right because the aiming was kinda laggy...and no matter how much i cranked the sensitivity up it still felt "wrong" in some way.

Well they are a bit sluggish even with the sensitivity up to the max. You'll have to adapt to it. The beginning of the first chapter will be hard for a lot of people but when you're used to it it's fine, really.

The recoil looks to be annoying tbh. The HD Beta video's proved it to me that they're going for that realistic shooting.

My only hesitation about this game is the controls, specifically the DS3. This game looks phenomenal and I really want to play it, but I hate hate hate playing first-person shooters with the dualshock.

TEMPY If you're reading this, can you possibly get someone at your workplace to upload a 720p version of the original 2005 Target Render for Killzone please?

Also the video for that on the Killzone.com media site is corrupted :-/ You can only watch it partially.
Click to expand...

Guerrilla Games did not make that CG video ( it was made by Axis animations , Scottish guys , you must love the Scottish ) , so I guess G.G don't have the original video , also you want something about KZ from Temby Sama ? good luck with that

yeah , but seriously Guerrilla Games were under huge pressure from Sony , KZ and FPS Fans , PS3 and non PS3 owners ,Cell+RSX doubters , Sony haters/lovers and gaming community , to do something close to the target render , to made an AAAAAA+ game , to be prove that they can do something new , I don't think there was any game and developers in history of video games that was in this same position and with this amount of pressure and hate , shit , no one can handel that .

I even remember when Sony acquired the studio ( just before Shellshock release IIRC ) everyone was WTF , why sony want to buy these noobs , waste of money , they should have bought (XY) dev instead ..ect , now they did something absolutely magnificent .

Kudos to Guerrilla Games

I don't think they really want to tight it up, it's pretty obvious they chose to have this kind of aiming, and again, when you're used to it, it works.
