thesaint sfc Posted 7 January, 2009 Share Posted 7 January, 2009 Could be good - could be Halo 4. Depends. I loved the first one, but only because it went on for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted 7 January, 2009 Share Posted 7 January, 2009 I'm slightly disapointed they took out the multiple characters you could play as in the first one. As you'd play a level big tough guy, then you'd play it again as the stealth chick only to find a completely new way through the level designed especally for her. Apart from that, can't wait to see the graphics on my new HD telly. :smt044 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 7 January, 2009 Share Posted 7 January, 2009 If you pre-order it you should be able to get a demo to play before hand, i have no idea how that works but that is what i heard. Been looking forward to Killzone2 for sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labibs Posted 6 February, 2009 Share Posted 6 February, 2009 Anyone play the demo of this yet? Released on PSN yesterday. Pretty short demo (about 15 mins) but it's good. Graphically it is amazing, particularly the death animations. Obviously we will have to wait and see how the multiplayer turns out, but I enjoyed it.

$$$ Posted 8 February, 2009 Share Posted 8 February, 2009 Anyone play the demo of this yet? Released on PSN yesterday. Pretty short demo (about 15 mins) but it's good. Graphically it is amazing, particularly the death animations. Obviously we will have to wait and see how the multiplayer turns out, but I enjoyed it.Demo left me feeling pretty meh to be honest. Graphics are good but not that good considering the hype. There are some nice effects but they can be completely over the top. The death animations remind me of when rag doll physics hit PC gaming, what, five years ago. Field of view does not feel right, I don't really like the cover mechanic and shooting feels very clumsy. Only played the demo once so it might click with another play but I'm very underwhelmed at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 8 February, 2009 Share Posted 8 February, 2009 I shall be downloading the demo soon, but I doubt I will get the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draino76 Posted 9 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 9 February, 2009 Well I enjoyed the demo, liked the cover system; but had to put the controller sensitivity on 100% to get it to feel right. Defo getting the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barfy Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 I downloaded and played the demo at the weekend, and after almost exclusively playing CoD for the past few months, I had a lot of trouble with the different control system. But it looks good (even in non-HD :smt022 ) so my pre-order with Amazon still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Have to say i loved it. Was only a brief demo but was awesome. I really like the physics of the game which make it feel like your guns are actually deadly, a lot of games don't get that right. The grenades are quality too and the magnum side arm was good. My only gripe other then it being too short was that Ricco reminded me a lot of Cole Train, even looks like him. The bit when you complete the demo and it does like a montage of the physics i.e people getting blown up was class. The controls are a bit iffy but i felt increasing the sensitivity by about 50% on both axis and changing to controls B so the fire button is r2 and not r1 was miles better. StreetFighter 4, KillZone 2 then Star Ocean 4 and Resident Evil 5 = a good month or so of gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draino76 Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 27 February, 2009 (edited) Phew, 1 hour in. As we all know, its beautiful but the full game has more polish on it than the demo. The opening cut seen is amazing! No installation and short load times which is a bonus. My first thoughts are this is ****ing hard because there is nowhere to hide! If you try and catch a breather anywhere for more than a couple of seconds those Helghast folk will flush you out from behind you, from above or below, the side or with a grenade. Take care of your collegues too, because missions get even harder when they are not around. 'Where the ****s my mate gone? Oh look over there, he's ****ing got dead! Replaying a mission never quite seems to pan out like the previous attempt. I'm going on the main board to relax a little.

Barfy Posted 27 February, 2009 Share Posted 27 February, 2009 Completed the single player game on the easiest level, and that was tough at times! Multiplayer is a bit confusing, most people who had a mic seemed to be asking whoever would listen how the scores are calculated! Overall the game is excellent, and now more than ever before, I envy those with a HDTV:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baj Posted 27 February, 2009 Share Posted 27 February, 2009 When I played through Gears of War 2 I wondered how long it would be before I would play a game that had even better graphics and was even more polished, a year? 2 years?... evidently about 3 months!

Barfy Posted 28 February, 2009 Share Posted 28 February, 2009 I like the skirmish option. You can set up a multiplayer game for yourself and any number of AI players, really helps get to grips with the maps, and game modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barfy Posted 9 March, 2009 Share Posted 9 March, 2009 just ordered it along with a pre-order of R.E 5. So start off on easy then yeah.....? Depends how good you are at fps games. Personally I'm a bit of a n00b still so would have taken weeks to get through on one of the harder levels. I've got to say I'm really liking the online system for this now. Having 32 players on some of the smaller maps is funny. Also (and this is very sad) if you login to http://www.killzone.com you can watch top down replays of matches you've been in, and see how genuinely sh!t you've been!

Took a while, but a lot safer than running around in the open! Wait until you come face to face with Radec, that's a laugh too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barfy Posted 16 March, 2009 Share Posted 16 March, 2009 so you dont av to shoot the blue things? I have no idea really how far i am thru it......when is radec? Radec's right at the end, and a right giggle it is too. Though I managed to get a trophy for my efforts Shoot the blue things then you will stop the bird thing. When its stunned offload yer rocket launcher on its ass. I think I managed it without shooting the blue things, though it did seem to take ages. I just tried to stay behind cover and shoot whenever I could, that might also explain why the rocket launcher was so f***ing useless. Has anyone been playing his online much yet?

Barfy Posted 1 April, 2009 Share Posted 1 April, 2009 We'll done Barfy I still not completed it yet. Taking my sweet time! Love the game. MP is pretty awesome. Thank you. I liked the fact that I get a special badge for the week I've only played the single player game through once, far too addicted to the online MP part. I joined one match last week that took the best part of an hour and a half to finish, and what's really sad was that I was gutted that I couldn't play the next match as I had to be up for work early the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barfy Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 As far as I've seen, all modes are team based, theres: Bodycount (kill as many of the other team as possible) Search & Destroy (plant explosives or defend against other team planting explosives) Capture & Hold (does what it says on the tin, 3 areas your team need to hold) assasination (either a member of your team or other team is target kill or defend) Can't remember the name of the other one, but you have to pick up an object and deliver to a specific place. If you've only played a basic bodycount game like I did at first, it probably didn't last very long (basic settings are first team to 25 kills or 5 minutes). The best thing to do is to get into a match that incorporates all of the above modes. Depending on the person who created the match they can last anything between 10 and 90 minutes. There's not as much in the way of promotions as you go through the levels, but new toys do get unlocked as you earn ribbons and medals. if you go to http://www.killzone.com/ and use your psn login, you can see your profile for both online and single player. There's also a bit more explanantion about the ribbons and medals. Obsessed. Me. Never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
