Killzone 2 pre-release discussion thread

If you go to gaming websites or bought gaming magazines you'd know about Killzone 2. The enthusiasts know about it, certainly. I'm not sure what their plans are to reach the rest of gamers. Maybe they're relying on the demo, though they're releasing it a bit late.

Speaking of..any new best guesses on if the Demo is SP or just the beta again?

How to unlock everything in Killzone 2 online.

Thanks for posting this !

If the gameplay is as great as people say, then referrer will be high. KZ2 initial sales should be reasonably high, but hampered by the economy.

So far, no one could explain KZ2 MP well enough for me to grasp. It seems like something you have to try yourself to get. The game's not instantly WOW unless they pay attention to the details (i.e., A few short seconds of TV ads can't communicate the subtleties; people will think it's yet another CG). Wii Sports commercial is great for me because within split second, I understood the concept and knew it'd be fun (for me) right away.

I'd love them to do another trailer similar in style to Ballet of Death :) ... perhaps showing me why I need to put everything down and play the game now. The Ballet is the closest thing yet.

Emm... Nessun Dorma would be nice. :p
 
This system for unlocking everything should be good for forcing players to use all the classes and abilities. In other games with classes you often see the majority of players use the same few favourite classes, leaving your team vulnerable sometimes, and making the gameplay less diverse.

From what I've heard this game should be great for clanwars. It's been a long time since a game provided everything a clan needs in an easy to use manor. Can't wait to play it.

I don't think Killzone's sales will be hurt that much because of the economy. It has the advantage of being released in a time frame without a lot of competition. If any game is going to sell well next month, it's going to be Killzone 2.
 
Well I have a confirm: frame rate is 20 25 fps in the preview code...meh ....


Sorry if I'm skeptical. I've ready plenty of posts from people that have finished the game (final code) and seen plenty of video. Not that occasional dip below 30fps is unlikely or unexpected, but I haven't seen them yet.
 
Maybe grandmaster can enlighten us? He's the only one I know who can really come and say what the average FPS is. Everyone else is working off 'it looks smooth/jerky to me'.
 
He planned an article based on early code but delayed it. I am sure he will get a quick article out once KZ2 is released. For MP measurements he needs enough people to play the game anyway.
 
I'm really worried about that: it seems the preview build slown in rare moments but when it did the game became unplayable. Different reviewers who I know said that. I hope it's just a preview code problem but for me it's a little disappointing.

This does not compute. As you said, it's probably rare [extremely] and probably only lasts for a few seconds at best.

Disappointing? I can name ten next gen "hits" that all have extreme slowdown that last quite a while during the majority of the game. Why is this title suddenly "disappointing" for rare slow down?

Of course, that would be assuming there are any slowdowns to begin with. ;)
 
SuperBowl?

Nah. Has any publisher been able to launch (or re-launch in this case) a franchise and turn it into a mega blockbuster just with the force of advertising?

I mean MS had to feature Halo as their big title for the Xbox but it seemed to me it gathered momentum for months or years after launch through word of mouth.

Of course, Steve Jobs helped launch it a couple of years before. ;)

Call of Duty 4. Call of Duty 3 wasn't even that well-received, the games before were never that huge. Advertising, a well-received demo/beta, then word of mouth turned CoD into the biggest 3rd party FPS franchise.

Its dissapointing for all titles, extreme slowdown ruins immersion, stop beng so defensive, you dont even know if this slowdown exists.

Well I have more confirm that the preview build run with a lot of slowdown from the most of people who has that, trust me. It's no my intention to lame, the engine is incredible but in part these glitch FOR ME is disappointing. The source are italian is useless to post here.

The developers claim otherwise in the gamekings reveiw, we will see when the game is released.

Please post the source, I'm sure there are some that know italian here, or at least know how to use google translator.

Tha_con just quoted you saying "rare moments" of slowdown. Now, you are stating "a lot of slowdown" for the preview code less than two days later. Which story do you want to stick with? :???:
