I recommend adding Warhawk and Motorstorm PR to the collection.
Pojo why do you continue when the majority of this thread dont care? Head over to the official Playstation forums and you might get lucky on why.Pojo said:
The game is like a shooter from the 16bit days. One ship versus the galaxy. You pack your balls tight, kiss your gal goodbye and open the engines at full thrust. You take the love head on and dont look back.
I don't expect you to get it, but the multiplayer games themselves from the last decade absolutely prove my point.kenta said:
And yes, I now understand why they couldn't add it. But don't try to tell me that it hasn't been a staple. It's something that people expect, which is why it' surpsising to not have the option.

:lol
EDIT: Also, new IGN preview. Sorry if previously posted..

I agree with you. I'm disappointed that Killzone 2 doesn't have split screen, but I'm INCREDIBLY more disappointed that Resistance 2 doesn't have four player split...even though the first one did.Pojo said:
STOP TAKING AWAY OUR SPLITSCREENS DEVS! I don't care how downgraded it has to be, given the small windows it shouldn't really matter all that much anyways.

Anyway, thank god it doesn't have splitscreen. It would just ruin things. And I'll never understand how someone wants to play an FPS in a screen divided in half and messed up ratio.

The reason people are arguing with you isn't because you'd like to have splitscreen. It's because you think not having splitscreen makes the game completely unworthy of purchase. Given the fantastic look of the singleplayer and the stellar impressions of multiplayer, that seems a bit of an overreaction.Pojo said:
The lack of split-screen is indeed annoying.
It's not like you're going to play 1v1 games - the game has bot support for crying out loud.
Isn't the game practically finished? Surely they could squeeze in split-screen as the game is being released in Feb. Resistance 2 has got split-screen and was released in a year.
Killzone 2 doesn't and has been in development for four years and has had over 150 people working on the game.
Fucking great.
Still buying K2, but so disappointing that hardly any games feature this feature. There is so much emphasis on online play these days apparently local play doesn't matter at all.

Ha! I couldn't get up in time for my lectures this morning exactly because of that.

One of the most positive previews I've ever seen...
Man i dont know if it was my connection or what but that server was laggy as hell for me.
I did alright with the 1st match. Me and FFObssessed went toe to toe with our scoring for a while, then I became a target and I had to sit in a corner for a while so i couldnt get kills.
But that 2nd match, wtf...
Disappearing people, only to reappear next to me, shooting me in the ear. I kept being spawned on the squad leader which was FFO, and he was at the base sniping so it kept frustrating me.
That last match, i had to just quit. Couldnt take it no mores!
It was awesome to play with 5+ neogaf players at a time though. A squad full o Gaffers
I still had more objective points than FFO anyways! :lol

I agree with both of you, I can't help but feel some of my hype just died down a bit for this game, I'll still buy it though, but it's not Day 1! OMG! anymore.

"hile we're pretty confident that fans of the more 'realistic' Call of Duty 4 will take to Killzone 2 like the proverbial duck to water, we're unsure how fans of precise, technical shooters like Halo will adapt. We thoroughly enjoyed the realistic handling of Killzone 2's weapons of mass destruction, swaying recklessly as we struggled to make the shots, but we have a sneaky feeling that those used to a steady reticule will possibly get frustrated in this regard. It could be a very clear case of gamers either loving or hating the feel of Killzone 2.
"
I don't see how Halo 3 is a precise, technical shooter when it has so much auto-aim.
Killzone 2 is far more of a precise, technical shooter. If you hate the feel of Killzone 2, you haven't adjusted to it yet. The movement in other games now feels sterile in comparison.

Yes, it's been very laggy as of late, and the Killzone site is down too. I didn't even play today cause yesterday, I logged over six hundred points, and none of them counted. >_>

Yeah in the second game I was thinking "hmm probably shouldn't have been the squad leader if I'm going to be sniping!"
It wasn't too laggy for me but it was an EU server wasn't it? So I'd have been ok.I love the little squads because it's just nice to know when your friends are dying and such, keeps you feeling connected.
Yeh but I had more kills and less deaths... and less teamkills lolololololol BOOOOOOOOOOSH!
:lol It was a good little rivalry. Every so often I'd check the score board and think "oh no you don't!" Then I started trying even harder. Good fun.
I don't read the official KZ forums, but perhaps it's better to raise issues there so the community managers can make a list of stuff people really want. (People do seem to want a lot)
To be honest, I don't really recall split-screen multiplayer being high on our own early feature wishlist. And I'm no tech coder (always nice to listen to their tech ramblings though), so I couldn't tell you if there were specific issues with splitscreen and, say, deferred rendering.
Anyway, want splitscreen, or anything else - the more people making a noise about it on the official forums, the more likely it'll get included.
---
On another note, if you get a Session Master not Found error for more than 30 seconds, it's better to leave the game. Chances are the game will be totally out of synch if it even manages to assign another session master. No idea when it'll be fixed.

Great game guys, although I am still far from ruling the place
This is just soooo addicting and seeing so many of us in one game really adds to the experience.
Just read the IGN preview and have to state that GG really nailed the controls - it feels alive, in a way...

Can you explain to me why the Session Master error's even occur? Is this game using a form of p2p, because it doesn't feel as smooth as Resistance 2's online play which is near flawless in terms of netcode
Private Hoffman said:
The Session Master crashed and a new session master has to be chosen. I'm not sure what the exact issue is with finding a new session master, but when all of the crashes have been fixed you won't encounter this issue that often anymore. Seems to be fine if the session master just quits the game normally.

Well the auto-aim is much less noticeable than Halo 3 or Resistance 2. I don't feel like my reticule magnetically locks on to every moving target.
Tempy said:
But it seems to me like if they were using dedicated servers then there would be a dedicated session master? Unless session master is only referring to the person who created the room.
Of all the issues I want ironed out more than anything else, it's nothing major, just getting the netcode/lag/session master stuff ironed out so the experience runs smoother.
