Killzone 2 pre-release discussion thread

that Corinth River level was truely incredible, definetly hollywood like. i'll call that saving private Ryan in space. at this point i wanna see a real intense boss fight though.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

It looks fabulous, incredibly moody. The polish in the smoke etc. and the constant smooth framerate really sets it apart. I hope the game is good to boot. Any word on coop campaign play?

Multiplayer hands on!

The article seems very positive about the MP! Looks like we are in for a treat !
The article does seem to confirm that there will be no online co-op out of the box ! It might get added later as a DLC, it says. Thats pretty strange, as Guerilla knows that people wanted co-op from the very beginning.No comment about split-screen co-op, but I think the comment covers all co-op modes.

Yes i found that strange about the co-op but then again Guerilla could still maybe add something in, or the DLC is an idea but honestly do you really mind if their is no online co-op/split-screen co-op. End of the day this game is a must have

The way that the heavy smoke, effects, and the layers of rocket fire and smoke trails are now presented it remindes me a little of the first invasion on a bug planet from starship troopers very very intense.

I think its looking absolutely incredible! This particular level looks as polished as hell! My only worry is are the other levels upto this standard? We have seen nothing but this level now, surely there must be other levels close to completion?

I see that they changed from "pre alpha" to "pre beta" now. So many KZ2 media, so near and yet so far.
Did they up the pace a little ? The recent trailers seem ever more intense.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Exactly! that was the reason I was posting these videos here ! the demo gameplay by the Dev was slow paced and kinda boring but the new gameplay vids from different sites are so frantic and intense! Must be coz the dev already knows the whole level and pre-emptively shot everything down! Or they listened to the response and tweaked it ! The graphics have been tweaked since E3 according to the article.

 

[DieH@rd]

Is it me, or did they add more sunlight to that e3 level?


Vids look absolutley awesome, smoke, framerate...

 

[deepbrown]

Ai looks much more aggressive and active. Taking cover etc. http://www.jeuxvideo.fr/gc-killzone-gameplay-exclu-actu-157094.html

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Is that music from the game ? If so then Killzone has nailed it! Beauty !

 

[whome0]

Wow, that was a pack of action gameplay video, impressive intensity.
Video has "pre-betacode" tag, but probably an engine is more or less completed and they taylor levels and missions.

KillZone 2 to feature bots

http://kotaku.com/5040415/killzone-2-adds-multiplayer-bot-action

Guerrilla Games multiplayer designer Eric Boltjes confirmed that Killzone 2 would indeed be featuring AI bots to help fill out online matches while allowing those who prefer the offline multiplayer experience someone fake to play with.

Killzone 2 : Your Questions Answered

So, this afternoon we have been lucky enough to spend a bit of time with the online producer and some of the development team at Guerrilla Games. They are here at the show taking members of the press through the online multiplayer part of this massive PlayStation 3 title. Sadly, there wasn’t time to get answers to all of your questions, but I am sure you will agree we have managed to get loads of juicy information for you all.

I like this one:
Q: Many developers have chill out rooms in their buildings, do you?
A: We don’t have a chill out room inside the building, but we do have a lovely Garden which is always nice to sit in and relax.

I wonder if they have little dwarf statue's in this garden. haha

According to FeedOnPS3, a patch will come very soon after Killzone 2 releases, and it's not one of those relatively insignificant stability patches, either. No, this one's big: it'll add co-op mode and vehicles for online play.

Thats strange !

 

[DieH@rd]

Coop via patch? That cant be good.

 

[Cornsnake]

I'll wait for official confirmation before I believe it.

 

[jandlecack]

Me too. So far away from release this makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Gradthrawn]

Makes sense to me. They know what they can (or plan to) accomplish between now and release, and what they can't.

 

[AlNom]

Considering there is no solid release date, why wouldn't they just take more time to make a more solid release package instead.
