Simply put - wow! The demo is quite good, although on the short side. Just make want to play the full game more, which is the purpose of a demo I suppose.

I messed around in the warehouse after killing off the helghast - try shooting at the roof and watch the sparks tumble to the floor. they even bounce realistically off objects in their path!

:D :D

Question: What exactly do people mean by control lag? Like you hit the stick and don't move or its delayed?

Not feeling that here.

I guess if the gun doesn't control like it's half an ounce in weight, the control is "laggy."

Just played the demo. The AI is a lot better than you expect it to be once you actually have the controller in your hands and are playing it. They are smart; you can't stay on the same piece of cover for too long. They will flank you or throw grenades. The battles are REALLY engaging and dynamic, and that's the best litmus test for great AI. KZ2 has some of the best AI I've seen in a FPS.

The part where the Helghast are getting out of the tanks shows off how rich and dynamic the AI is. Guerilla Games nailed the intensity of the battlefield like no other game.

Cover system works great, the controls and animation feel fluid, and of course the graphics look great as we all know.

Short demo serves as a cock tease, but I'll be playing this demo like a million times before the game comes out. :lol

And that is why when you have a big franchise FPS you need to spend at least 2-3 years on a sequel making sure the quality is there. The polish extends everywhere from level design to controls to MP maps to weapon feel to all the tiny little graphical touches and animations that make the experience so much more.

If I were to set up a Euro account, should I create a new e-mail account as if I were in Europe? I'm itching to play this demo, and I didn't pre-order at GS.

So question, from what I'm getting... its that

Control 1 is like RB6
and
Control 2 is COD4?
Click to expand...
Yeah, that's the impression I got from playing through the demo.

Standard 1 = RB6
Alt. 2 = COD

It's not quite 1 to 1 for either, but it's pretty close.

You don't need a real email at all. Just make sure you include @ and .

I did something like tgt@er.tg and it works fine.

Sluggish controls, not digging it too much, I cancelled my pre-order, going to rent it first.

thought so too at first, but keep at it (standard 1). When you get used to them (took my like 2 playthru's), the game get's really good. Awesome AI.
 
Played through it twice, pretty fucking awesome. Aiming is the only thing I'm having trouble with right now, I set the sensitivity all the way up and I still wasn't completely satisfied with it. Maybe I'll get used to it after playing some more.

It was already told. Just because you aren't reading the thread doesn't mean you need to be a dork about it.

It took me a solid 10 minutes to talk my wife through the process of inputting the gamestop code.

"There is an icon for redeem code in the top right......do you see it?"
"Theres nothing there."
"Its there trust me"
"....Its not here - Wait I found it. Ok so now what"
"Hit X when you are highlighting the first box."
"How do I capitalize?"
"What?"
"How do I do a caps lock?"
"Wait...where are you?"
"Input code?"
"Ok....so dont worry about that just type it in"
"Is this an 8 or a B?"
"Uh....how about 8"
"Ok now what?"
"Hit start"
"The little triangle?"
"Yes, the little triangle"
"......."
"You there?"
"Yeah, nothing happened"
"What do you mean nothing happened something had to have happened?"
"No nothing"
"......."
"I'll try it again"

etc etc...

That would so be how the conver would go between me and my wife too. I thought about calling home and asking her to download it now that its been confirmed that the US Gamestop codes are working, but your post here made me think twice. Screw it, I'll just do it when i get home. :lol :lol

Blast I got rapping granny's code and it doesn't work for me. Some of the letters got accidenlty ripped from the scratch thingy. Oh well thanks for the code rapping granny. I'll try to win one on the playstation blog.
 
preorder codes... feel free to use them :D

I'm downloading from Euro PSN and wasted one of those codes just to screw you guys for stealing our bandwidth. :D
 
i changed sensetivity to max, but could it be that the handgun still reacts way slower than the rifle?

its too short to really say something other than that it looks good...

edit: well yes the sound and musik are outstanding!

so much bitching about shortness and no "omg it looks great" interesting

I think you must be reading another thread or are skipping posts entirely. There's a lot of comments about how it looks.

Take your agenda elsewhere.

It sound AWESOME too.
 
Fuck, I wish I could go around to every GameStop in the country with a megaphone telling people they don't need to pre-order the game just to get a fucking demo. What a shitty way to do business.
 
Ok, first of, graphics, sounds, almost everything about the game is amazing. Don't want to go into detail there, its obvious, where I want to go however is the motherfucking retarded PS3 controller. The button layout is pure shit. Right now, I want to smack the bitch ass motherfucker a couple of times who designed the trigger buttons. Fucking piece of shit, crouching and shooting is no fun when the finger always slips and my wrist hurts after playing. FUUUUUCK, I want to love this game, but if I cant find a good layout (because wahtever layout I pick, fucking L2 is always for crouching) or get kinda used to the fucking L2 trigger...I don't know :/

Playing it COD4 style is also impossible. L1+L2+R1+fhfehucfbu...then I thought "ok, fine, L3 to zoom is fine too" but there is still the shitty shitty SHITTY TRIGGER I have to hold for way too long, and it's not really comfortable. ARGH.

:(:(:(

Every weapon has different maneuverability. Especially when using iron sights.

I would imagine toggling aim with the right stick would get you killed more often than not in MP mode.
Click to expand...
Not really. In Multiplayer you really want to be using as much cover as possible. Hell, in singleplayer you want to do that too.

It really can take a little bit to get used to the controls but once they click... man does it ever work out great.

Are these US? I'd like to try one!
 
I enjoyed the demo a lot. Played through it twice and found the controls to be excellent. I haven't notice and lag for the controls that were noticeable or bothersome. It was short but I felt like I got enough gameplay to know I'm going to enjoy the game, while it left me wanting more. So it served its purpose as a demo. February 27th cannot come soon enough. :D

Correct. People are wanting it to control like a 1/4lb gun on a stick, with your character having instant reflexes like he doesn't weigh a thing either. Basically, they don't want anything being close to feeling a shred of realism, like you're really using weapons.
