Can someone fill me in on the supposed 1080p scaling issues? I asked on the official forums and didn't get a direct answer. This game will scale to 1080p properly right?
why don't you play it at its native 720p?

my tv doesn't do 720p so i have to settle for 1080i, but i'd rather play this at 720p native.

when does this beta end? i've been playing this beta more than R2...

wtf, did he just stand in one spot while playing the beta or something? I can't comprehend how someone can be so oblivious to environmental destruction

What's amazing is that when you're playing on Radec Academy, you don't even have to see the destruction, anytime someone blows up a column or something you can hear the stuff falling to the ground even if you're at a distance. It's really loud.
 
Fucking finally!
You have been selected to form a team of elite soldiers who will be the
next wave of recruits to enter the hostile world of the Helghast and
test their defences prior to full deployment in February 2009.
Shame it finishes on the 1/12 :(

Did the servers just go down because everybody got kicked.

Servers have been a little rough tonight. As I type this I am stuck on the syncing to game state screen. Also, the game has been more laggy tonight than usual.
 
I really like technical talk, so does anyone have links to info as to why this looks a generation beyond everything else?, even big budget titles don't come close and I would like to know why.......

"Judging by the title screen, this game still doesn't have vehicles. But it's a better title screen than Wipeout HD, so 8.0"

Thank you!!..That's quite a bold read, can anyone explain at a lower level?
Sure, I'll take a shot.

What they are basically saying is that they sold their souls to the devil to make a fuck awesome game.
 
I swear to god people do NOT put bots IN doorway or in the middle of the fucking stairs.

FUCK.

I think rockets should just be axed from the game. It's a stupid noob weapon...and people just run and and fire a rocket into a big crowd no matter what. Doesnt matter if teammates are in there or if they're in there, they'll fire the rocket and take all the team kills it comes with.

I hope a lot of servers take rocket launchers off the checklist.


And I played that same match with Kittonwy...killed that mf a couple of times too XD
Pulled a 58-17. I was killing em left and right...literally :D

The shotgun gun people are worst.

I just leave the match if there are rocket spammers in there. Those type of players can be especially annoying on Blood Gracht. You just don't have enough time to really dodge the rocket and its explosion.
 
Loudninja said:

Haha, I hate them too but they're not so annoying because they cant take out a whole group with 1 shot and they miss alot. They also have to be mid/close range to be effective.

Those damn rocket shooters can be pretty far away and cause major damage.
Maybe they should limit the amount of rocket launchers per team. I think 1 per team at any given time should be MORE than enough.

They really ruin the flow of the game.
 
I suggested this before, but I think the rocket launcher should be an accessed weapon via the ammo depots that the engineers can repair. A class shouldn't be able to spawn with the rocket launcher, but they can access one if an engineer repairs a depot. Just have it laying alongside where the ammo is.

This would actually make that aspect useful in some respect, and generally the places where ammo depots spawn are good places for rocket fire. However, for the most part no one ever USES those ammo depots because they're really not all that useful with how quickly players die in the game.

I use ammo depots all the time.
Love having 3 grenades and a full clip. :)

I'm usually not so annoyed with shotguns since people have to get really close for them to be a single shot kill. And if they have to do a double shot then you're usually able to drop them before they're able to get the second shot off.
 
Midas said:
Me too, when they're available. How do you "open" them?
You have to go to the 'front' of the depot and press O to get the ammo from them.

Also, holy crap I just checked my stats and I'm ranked #34 out of everybody in the beta (Score) I'm #8 in Kills overall.

FFObessed is #13 overall (Score) He's also #11 in suicides :lol
Damn rocket spammer

I'm #2 when it comes to HEADSHOTS with 586 headshots :D
The #1 guy is at 631. I'm going to get past him....

Wow wtf, I'm # 5 in team kills LOL.
That's ironic, considering how much i've complained about team killing. People just love to hop in the way of my sniper.


The amount of stats that they track is crazy. They track everything.
You can even check your friend's stats pretty easily.
 
Last night, two ISA soldiers were ganging up on me, I was shooting away at them. Accidentally I pressed R2 and threw a grenade. It bounced off the head of one guy, landing somewhat behind him. It exploded, and in the killist on the left of the screen I saw 6 names appear that I killed. I got all kinds of compliments from my teammates for something I did by accident :lol

Suxxx that they reset the stats :(

Also, the most useful thing I've found about grenades is that they are a deterrent. It's hard to get a kill with them sometimes, but they're very useful if you're losing a fight against an enemy in another room...just back out, throw a grenade which prevents them from finishing you off and gives you some time for your health to regen so you can give it another go.

I mean how do you make the depot active?

With the 2nd ability of the engineer.


Saboteurs are awesome for Assassination.

Oh man you just reminded me an assassination target I killed the other night in such an awesome way I was patting myself in the back.

He was hiding behind the bar low walls near the main exit of the HGH base in Academy. We where outside in the central square trying to break it. I was near the entrance to the right. The one that leads straight to the bar. At some point the action kinda shifted to one side, close to the HGH exit, so I peaked around the corner and saw HGHs with their backs turned to me and in a split of a second I turned right towards the bar, jumped on the low wall and shotgunned the target without killing him. Just injured on the ground. At that point the HGHs turned their attention to me. Hell assploded around me. Bullets everywhere. Screen was black and white. Smoke. Couldn't see shit. I was basically dead. But I eventually manged to land behind the wall, crouched for cover. Safe for a second worth another shot at the target and BAM! he was dead.

That was awesome. Wish there was a replay feature cos it was like a John Woo movie.

You know you should ask. If we can get some replay feature, or youtube uploading.

Surely 3 month's is enough.

That would be sweet. Have any FPSs besides Halo 3 had this feature?

But wow. I just got into the beta today and I can't believe how much detail they put into this game. It seems like everything is destructible in some way. But most importantly, this game is FUN. Killzone 1 made me sick, Liberation was just damn frustrating, but I'm really enjoying this so far. :D

Theyre not rendering everything on 1 frame. (They have 'tonz' of post processing)
Also they not using all the SPU's (According to that 1 year old PDF)

Sounds like they're relying heavily on the SPUs to handle the awesome-fucking-wowsome lighting and shadows.

Remember that guy on GameSpot that claimed there is no destructibility in the beta, and later edited his impressions once he realized he was wrong? Apparently he STILL doesn't realize there's destructibility in the beta.

He posted this today in thread on GameSpot:



He obviously has NOT been playing the beta "extensively".

The thread is here:

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26675331&page=1

His username is guy_cocker (obvious, since his real name is Guy Cocker).

Man.. that is just bad. I see more and more of either a)flat out lies or b) uninformed people talking about games they have never played. For example on the 1up podcast where "big fun" was saying that all the enemies ignore your buddies and just attack you in Resistance 2. I proved this to be wrong by watching enemies attack my squad mates while I just sat there. And then in another podcast (it actually might of been 1up yours), they were saying in Little big planet, there is no way to lock a level, which is not true, there is a big ass option that says "locked."

I hate to sound down on the 1up people, because I do actually like them and it's obviously not just them making these mistakes, but it does irritate me when these "professionals" say things that are obviously not true.

Well.. yeah, the CELL processor is there to help the GPU. GG is showing that CELL can do logic + physics + help in the rendering.
K2 looks like a playable tech demo. Deferred rendering FTW ! :lol

There is so much more that is doable with that processor. I seriously think if devs wanted, they might be able to make the PS3 go toe to toe with even the best of PC games.
