Killzone 2

Don't see what's so great about the midnight launches, they never do them on a Friday or Saturday, so you have to have no work or job to take advantage of them. I mean, sure, you can stay out til midnight if you have work in the morning... but you aren't gonna be out of there and starting it up until 1 AM and you damn well better get to sleep by 2.

Some midnight launches give away goofy crap, but I totally agree with you. I usually just grab them on my way home from work the next day, so I don't have to stop the killing.

I cant say its a dumb move... I would hope they are basing this decision off pre order numbers? I could see any game in the Halo universe selling huge amounts. I dont really agree to cancel the KZ2 launch for an RTS launch... Unless the RTS went by the name Starcraft..
 
Hello All,

Well, the wait is almost over as Killzone 2 is just a few short days away from hitting the PS3. We are very excited about the game & would like to thank PlayStation Nation for the support that all of you have shown. To show our gratitude, we’ve decided that for the first 14 days of March, we’ll be giving away one Helghast StA52 Assault Rifle replica per day to one of our fans. Check out these photos (NOT RENDERS!) below.

All you need to do is to play Killzone 2 from March 1st to March 14th & at the end of each day, we’ll check out the stats on Killzone.com and pick out the winners based on specific categories from either the single player & online multiplayer. Check out the full list & contest details for the March for Helghan contest here.

Get your hands on the demo… preorder your copy now… get the game early… build up your skills… do whatever it takes as these limited edition replicas won’t be sold in stores.

Good luck!

Awesomesauce.

Btw, I agree with you Osyris, Unless it's Starcraft, they shouldn't cancel a midnight launch of an extremely high profile FPS game with an RTS that's been under the radar and somewhat underwhelming to REAL RTS fans.

what that is compared to Halo? Beats me.

If I had to guess, I'd say absolutely nothin', which is sad, imo. If I had to guess again I'd say this game probably hasn't picked up near as many pre-orders and definitely wont have as many copies sold as any of the normal Halo games.
 
Picking it up on my way home from school, should be outta here in like an hour. Probably gonna play it most of the day lol, the demo was bad ass I'm sure the game will be too.
 
Worst aim movement in the history of console FPS. I'm not sure what the hell they've done different than other console FPS devs but, wow, they deserve a medal for the horridity of it. There is also no way to view your ping to a match before you join it... I'll probably end up takin' this game back by the end of the weekend if somethin' doesn't just "click".

I must say i agree very strongly with you on the aim movement... These are for sure the worst aim mechanics in a FPS in recent years for me. I have tweaked the sensativity and control for about an hour now and it is just horrid... Feels like i am stuck in mud while turning to aim at someone... Aiming from cover is horrid also.

With that out of the way...

These are for sure the best visuals i have experienced on a console. So far the story is shit but whatever...

I have been hearing mostly good things about multiplayer so far... I may try it tonight if any of you are online.

I've only been playin' multiplayer so I dunno about aimin' from cover. Like your mud description, I explained it to my Pops like this, "Pretend you're on a boat, pretend that boat is rockin' from a nasty sea storm. Now, pretend you need to aim and shoot someone runnin' across another pretend boat opposite you. That's easier than aimin' in KZ2." Words just can't describe how horrible this is. The game itself is growin' on me though, either that or just the thought of, "Well, hell... when I get the sniper class I can just be a campin' bastard and not have to deal with it, so fak it."

I'm gonna withhold on the demo, I don't want to ruin the surprise yet with the campaign ;)

I've been hearing a lot of good things about the game so far from reviews and such, funny thing though, G4TV rated KZ2 5/5 and even then people bitched up to the point where some people said something so retarded, it made Adam Sessler do a Mailroom special calling the fanboys out:

Hilarious stuff

I lol'd so much.

Anyway, day one purchase, looking forward to playing with you guys online ;)

I think he's fucking crazy.
 
So now that the campaign is finished...

I enjoyed this game alot. Tho the movement and aiming system is shit... You eventually get used to it, shitty as it may be.

The story is very lame but its a FPS anyways.

Those two negatives aside...

This is the best looking game on a console. Not only does this thing look great but it is well designed. The stages all played out very well... And the action was very sweet.

This is seriously a good shooter.
 
I don't see it, maybe it's because my T.V. is only 720p but it doesn't look much better than F.E.A.R. 2 and definitely doesn't look as good as Gears on my T.V., yeah, PS3 has HDMI, 360 on the other hand does not. That bein' said though, I've only played the MP, don't give a rats ass about single player.

As much as I want to really, really love this game, it's a piece of shit. Maybe I'm just spoiled with XBL quality and the amount of great MP shooters on the 360.

Edit: Over at PSN and GG forums lots of people are ragin' over the controls, maybe we'll see a fix. And Osy, the patch where I thought they did somethin' to them was just my imagination. It just removed bots from online matches.

I havent had enough time for MP yet... I will get into that at some point.

The visuals during the campaign have no rival on a console.

There are a few textures that are sub par and a few times i get my weapons going through a wall while i am in cover...

Considering its just a bunch of grey with a few colors tossed in... Tho it needed to be that way due to the planet involved and a war going on... This is the most beautifull console game i have ever seen.
 
It's probably just my T.V. Xbox is built to look good on lower quality equipment, I'm sure if I had a nice 1080i T.V. I'd see what is so impressive with the PS3 games people praise. I will say this though, as far as multiplayer goes, speakin' only of FPS games here, but the multiplayer graphics are awesome, though they seemed to be toned down a bit for framerate, not near as much as other games do and of all the problems I have with the game, low FPS is not one of them.

Seriously, if they fix the aim this game will be perfect, I'll deal with PSN's lag, happily.
 
nobody is fixing anything. The aiming is suppose to feel like that so that it'll be more realistic by making it seem like you move your body unlike Halo, CoD4, and other fps where it feels like you're just moving a camera.

This. It gives the game more immersion, and the best part about KZ2 in my opinion is how they used that immersion. The aiming gives the game more weight, more substance, and I applaud GG for this rather than deciding to make KZ2 some generic shooter. Granted it doesn't do anything new for the genre, it just does everything really well.
