Support NeoGAF

[Cruzader]

I have to say the Killzone 2 demo is impressive, much more than I thought it would be.

The visuals are not quite as unbelievable as I expected, however that's mainly due to the amount of exposure the game and more specifically the technical aspects have received. Audio is stellar.

I do have concerns with some of the textures, filtering techniques, geometry and frame-rate issues. The aesthetic in general though is quite spectacular, some beautiful lighting techniques and post-processing effects.

The gameplay is solid, visceral and engaging although it does little to elevate itself beyond a tactical first person shooter. I believe GG were always aiming for a realistic experience, and this design concept leaves little room for imagination and innovation.

The reviews are very positive, and I'm excited to play the full version.

I think you played the wrong demo dude.

 

[Donos]

If that's a review build you bought - good luck playing multiplayer when the servers go up!

And I would also like to know who you bought it from~

On another note: and i thought that some GAFers took the controls of KZ2 to serious : http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=killzone2&thread.id=146692

I hope that GG doesn't give in for the "Kill of Duty 2: Modern Helghan" beggars like this one.

perfect image in that thread:

Ah, and thanks to the guy who mentioned the Full/Limited RGB option. Now I can actually see the symbol when calibrating the demo

Spoiler

and half of the blacks are greyish now - fuck!

I hate this about current gen gaming, game developers think we have perfectly calibrated LCD/Plasma TV's and they aren't using any standards whatsoever. So I'm tweaking my TV settings for nearly every game.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

Demo was great. I still hadn't gotten used to the slow mechanics of the controls by the time it finished, though. I am going to play around with the sensitivity options today.

Btw, what control scheme is everyone using? Alt 2 seemed like the best to me.

 

[Fersis]

When did Seiken go!?

Banned 6 months for calling 'idiot' to another GAF member on IGN KZ2 review thread.

Do like everyone here, get used to Standard 1. You'll be popping coconuts in no time.

Six months!? Wow.

That's excessive. I liked that guy.

idiot? Nearly as bad as when I got banned for making a little joke on the Warhawk clan thread.

Hey Rez,please be careful with your comments, i dont want to see you banned.
*Hugs Rez>You*

 

[Deleted member 30609]

aw, shucks

 

[CurseoftheGods]

Cool. I'll try to finish the demo with that control scheme today.

As for Seiken's ban, I think the point of a ban is kind of lost when it's long as that. Just my opinion, though.

 

[Fersis]

This is how was the conversation (It was in the Killzone 2 IGN Review) thread:

This is a lot of hoopla over yet-another-FPS.

EDIT: Nevermind, I shouldn't even bother quoting someone with an Sonic avatar.

Did I hurt your feelings?

Not at all, really! I'm used to idiots like you by now.

And thats how you get a 6 month ban

 

[CurseoftheGods]

Making rash assumptions based on people's avatars is kind of silly, though.

 

[MNC]

That's quite a sucky ban.

Also, :lol at all the titles of this thread

 

[McBacon]

Hey everybody, I made an awful quality video of Killzone 2 with awful commentary!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkk8bIVLr6c

Beware for spoilers, its from a few levels in. Nothing really new, just a sniper rifle.

 

[Haunted]

Aw phooey, they closed the Edge thread.

I hate this about current gen gaming, game developers think we have perfectly calibrated LCD/Plasma TV's and they aren't using any standards whatsoever. So I'm tweaking my TV settings for nearly every game.

I'm a total beginner when it comes to calibrating my (el cheapo) TV, so I'm willing to acknowledge that it's my fault when this stuff happens, but some kind of standard would really help guys like me knowing which settings are best.

I can't tweak my TV settings for every game, since I'm constantly switching between games (and Blu-Ray, and DVD, and TV, and my TV acting as PC display). :/

wow

Looks like one of the mods was having a bad day! It happens. We'll welcome him back with open arms (Seiken's the Tekken fan with the Ryu kicking Metal Gear avatar, right?)

Oh crap, Sony ninjas are on their way.. No seriously, I wonder how it is having street date broken this soon, even if this is just a review build.

 

[PistolGrip]

That should be on the OP

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Ugh they closed the EDGE thread. GAF, this is why we can't have nice things. You just ruin it with your fanboyism and internet fights.

 

[Fersis]

I think it is Ken.

 

[Zeliard]

Did anyone notice that you can jump over those razor wires outside the warehouse in the demo? I was expecting some stupid invisible walls but there were none, so awesome.

I've noticed that there aren't that many annoying invisible walls at all, which is nice to see. Obviously, the game is linear, so you can't just go all over the place. But I've been surprised on more than one occasion at trying to jump to certain spots in the demo and being able to make it. Looks like Sev gets some good height on his jumps - maybe it helps that he actually bends his knees beforehand.

 

[marvelharvey]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there anyway to turn off motion-blur in the main game? I've only got the demo at the moment and it's not in the options.

 

[Haunted]

The liberal use of motion blur is one of the effects that make the game look so great, I don't think there's a way to disable it.

I think it is Ken.

*checks*



The alt costume fooled me!

 

[Lince]

game is out

can we have it?

 

[Hyoushi]

Hey guys. If you are going to keep whining about the Seiken ban, or any ban for that matter, do it over a cup of coffee somewhere and not here where it sounds very much like backseat modding.

 

[todahawk]

Sigh. I was interested in why my friend was banned. Sorry.

I got the game today (PAL), played for a couple of hours... will probably finish the campaign today.

I'm currently trying to get it today, the game is definitely out in some places, I'll keep you informed.

Dyack?

Hey So I am bit confused... Can you change the control layout exactly the way you want it on the retail of the game? On the demo you have to choose from preset ones.

 

[spwolf]

:lol that was pretty rad, make more vids. sucks to see about 6 helghast take in the exact same place, some CoD shit right there

if demo is easy, start it at harder difficuly?

 

[McBacon]

lol, need to work on your sniping

can you make a mp bots vid?

Thats a Youtube comment. And I shall say, FOR THE RECORD:

1. You gotta hold the SixAxis still, and I'm trying to make gun noises and Total Recall quotes
2. There's some kind of earthquake in the Helghan world
3. I can't see shit with the composite cables

Maybe I'll do a bot vid, we shall see

Yeah, I am seeing people on ebay selling Killzone 2. The sellers are mostly from Canada and have no feedback so I don't trust them plus none of them have pictures of the actual box. It is tempting to buy it now instead of waiting.

Oh forgot about the Sixaxis thing.

The sniping is great though - very realistic (not that I've ever held a sniper rifle) lol
