I agree. I immediately felt it was like a first person gears (slow, heavy feel and stuff), that's why I felt a disconnect when the button layout was so different. I want to map it like this.Mamesj said:I agree! It feels like FPS gears, thanks to the cover system. this isn't a bad thing at all, I like it a lot
X --> for sticky/toggle cover. I don't want to hold it to stay in cover.
Big triggers for zooming and shooting.
COD is much faster, enemies respawning and very limited AI behavior. Its similarity with COD is in the more 'realistic' visual style, very superficially at that.
It's also weird that its turning and aiming is slow with a narrow field of view which makes it harder to see the battlefield. It's a bit like blinders. This isn't a problem in 3rd person but maybe I can get used to that.

Ah ok, thanks for the info!amar212 said:
But even if it isnt a "review copy", i still think that it would be really cool to own a "promo retail" copy of Killzone 2! Congratulations on getting this "promo retail" disc of Killzone 2!
people will definitely feel weird or hate the control at first try, it's like they purposely made the response a few milli seconds slower, but you'll get used to it after an hour or so. The controls can be done similar to COD4, just use alternate 2 and tick the "hold aim" box.
edit: demo's too fucking short

720p always. Look, unless you bought some piece of shit Vizio or something, your $2000 1080p TV will always do a better job of upscaling then $400 PS3, $200 360, or $50 upscaling DVD players. Always.
Also, the sound did seem a little off to me. I mean, it sounded fine but the low end punch was missing. I have a fucking massive subwoofer too, and I remember certain areas in Resistance 2 that were literally shaking my walls apart. I could barely tell my subwoofer was on during the KZ2 demo. It's almost like they left the LFE channel off the demo to reduce download size or something.

I see two distinct possibilities:
1. either the extra sensitivity male enhancer that I have been spraying on my controller for the past six months is finally starting to pay off and my dead zone has shrunk (shriveled?).
-or-
2. your perfect controller is slightly less perfect than mine, since the dead zone I see here with the default settings (dead zone is not adjustable) is negligible - 1/32 inch or so off vertical. Way smaller than 1/4 inch as you originally claimed.
Do it. It looks sooo much better. The difference amazing. Before I saw jaggies all over the place.. now I can barely make any out. Textures look 100% better it just looks amazing now. Better then I was expecting. Anyone that complains about the graphics should really consider messing with the color settings. Before it looked ok.. now it just looks insane.Hellraizer said:

The music on the main menu is just fucking epic as hell, reminds me of a cross between Warhammer 40K and MGS4.
I actually like the voice acting. A lot. Even Rico, who I hated before, his new voice is much better. They're not oscar winning actors, they're soldiers and their lines are delivered very naturally.
I like Garza a lot, he's more pleasant than the other two guys who are assholes
Glad he's the guy who seems to go with you most of the time. It seems like Sev and him are good friends!

Sorry, I should've cited that, I knew the PA guys had been/would be messing with the demo as they didn't get a prerelease copy or anything like that.
The voice in the review just stood out, as do most dissenting critiques on any title that seems to be gaining acclaim, conveying what I took almost as disgust from the author as opposed to what others reviews have been stating essentially heaping praise on Killzone 2. It's a case of while I don't necessarily agree with what was written (as I haven't played the full game yet), I wanted to get other people's opinions on what I had read.
Returners said:
From the demo, I'll probably play the SP ala R6V.
I wasn't in the multiplayer beta, so I'm not sure how it will play but I'd have to guess that grabbing cover isn't going to be that effective against another human being who can see your head bobbing around. The Helghast definitely seem to have difficulty hitting you though, so thats nice.

Has it been confirmed from which build the demo is taken?

Not that I know of, that'd be interesting to find out though.
Edit: This shows the comparison between December 08 and January 2009, not sure how much that especially helps. I'm gonna keep drudging around.

That RGB option did more harm than good. I recall when it was introduced in the XMB everyone was like "OMG colors are more dense! So awesome!" but it actually negatively affects visual quality on most sets. I didn't realize this until GTAIV. I could barely see the mobile phone keyboard and I thought that was too odd. So I investigated and realized RGB Full equals very bad. I did replay some games after setting it to Limited and I was surprised about how better they looked.
Sony should add a sticker on the KZ2 cover reading like "Set the RGB option to Limited for maximun visual splendor". Or something like that :lol
Or they might sneaky default it to Limited with the next FW update. I can see the outcome already: "OMG games look much better after the X.XX update! Didn't know PS3 could get more powerful with a simple fw update!" :lol
DIRTY-D said:Then I decided to plug in my xbox360 controller adapter in a give the 360 pad a go......fucking AWESOME.......feels really nice playing this with the 360 controller.....
can't wait for the release.
How did you get a 360 controller to work in-game on the PS3? How did the button mapping come over? Was R1 -> Right trigger or Right button?
Would really love to try this with a 360 pad.

Wow, it really looks much better now. I also see the logo barely right from the start, so there was no need for adjustments in the first place. Awesome.McLovin said:
I also get more of the RSV2 vibe from it right now as some folks mentioned early, rather than COD4. Standard 1 works better and better, getting used to it the more I play it.
And I finally shot down the guy on the roof in the warehouse, love the Rifle he was using.
Paracelsus said:
For what I saw/read, seems closer to review code than preview. The two Higs chatting in the warehouse weren't there in the preview code. But someone has to confirm me whether or not they react to grenades. Cos someone said they don't, but in the review code they do (escape, scream, die).
They should I seriously think it looks 100% better. It was like when we where watching all that beta footage from sp and then they showed the new build. It was that big of a difference.TTP said:
Also control wise Alt 2, with Hold Zoom on is pure sex. My god I was doing some crazy stuff when I got into that part right before the demo.
Yup.. but try Alt 2, with zoom hold on and see how you like that. I was doing ok with the other controls but something clicked when I had those settings on.Hellraizer said:

Unless they don't spot you or you shoot at them, they'll keep talking for a few seconds.
EDIT: Grenades? Let me try, I shot them down with the rifle.

I tried, but Crouching and shooting was almost impossible. I barely use my middle finger when playing so it was really unusual and hard for me to shoot out of cover.McLovin said:
If they add a toggle Crouch option, I would instantly switch to Alt 2.
I'm also waiting for the Gioteck Triggers, maybe it'll get better/easier.

I just got a Higg to pretty much hit the ceiling in the warehouse with a well placed grenade. Nice.
GodofWine said:
No. You'll be at a disadvantage cos you will need to crouch while zooming in for maximum accuracy and lower exposition to enemy fire. So if you go with Crouch Hold you'll have to keep L2 and L1 pressed simultaneously. If you go with Crouch Toggle, you'll lose precious millisecond having to un-crouch after having shot (more so if you forget to un-toggle it). You could hit R3 to run and automatically un-crouch, but still it is not as intuitive as simply letting L2 go.
