so the game has 'unique' controls that take getting used to?


LBP had 'unique' controls that took getting used to... and i loathed them. Hopefully KZ2's controls aren't nearly as bad. However, all the buzz words like 'physics based', 'motion' and 'realistic' are being thrown around :(

I wish i could DL the demo to have a feel for the game But i live in Australia. Internet caps FTL.

I'll probably still buy it eventually though.

What is this shit? Comparing one thread to another? Stop comparing the damn games and enjoy Killzone 2. Goddammit. Some GAFfers need to grow the fuck up.

I wasnt the one who did the comparison, i just asked what -viper- ment with the thread views that he mentioned :) I am not sure if -viper- was comparing Halo 3 and Killzone 2 up to eachother when it comes to the games themself, but maybe he only compared this Killzone 2 thread to the official Halo 3 thread. It is not exactly like Halo 3 becomes a worse game or that Killzone 2 becomes a better game just because one thread has more views than another thread, at least in my opinion. I think the comparison was just made for fun to see that this Killzone 2 thread had alot of views, and that this Killzone 2 thread is soon to get as many views at the official Halo 3 thread here on NeoGAF, but please correct me if i am wrong :)

EDIT: I added some text.

Its changed from a country, to a continent now? Next EDGE will be giving out bonus points for games made north of the equator.

Are you serious? Also, you can't make a European account in Australia?

I think that you you can do that , but some australian internet provides have interenet caps as i_am_ben mentioned. This means that you can only download X amount of GigaBytes each month or so. Unfortunately i am not sure how big or small the download quotas are though, but if it is for example 5 GigaBytes each month, then downloading the Killzone 2 demo at about 1.2 GigaBytes might count relatively much towards the download quota.

I am not sure what happends if you download over the download quota though, but maybe you must pay for each additional MegaByte or so that you download over the download quota.

Ah, I see. I couldn't live like that lol...
 
I've played the demo countless times and I finally got the see the death animation where the guy grabs his stomach, slumps onto his knees, falls forward and slowly dies. He was the last one to kill in the room so I got to savior it. :D

I wish the harder difficulty setting could be unlocked.
 
I kinda feel like I should stop just gushing about this game, but I can't beleive how good the combat is.

A guy with an RPG comes, I shoot him a few times, but run out of bullets, change to pistol and cap him once, but he hides in a hut. I shoot a barrel next to the hut and it explodes, he's dead. Another rocket rushes past my head, I'm trying to pick up this RPG but I'm playing dodgeball with fucking rockets here, and I finally grab it, send one back his way, change back to machine gun, throw a grenade into an oil spill which sets that on fire, shoot some more guys, HOLY HELL
 
Yeah, my most played game right now is a 10 minute demo.

Although it did influence me to hop on COD4 for the first time in a while. Still a good looking game. I don't think the lighting or textures have been blown away by KZ2. Without all of the cinematic post-processing it would hold up pretty damn well, if that even counts as anything. The gameplay feels completely disconnected now though. Apparently there are a few people who can't get used to it, but if you manage to stop thinking of yourself as a crosshair and start thinking like an actual soldier there's no looking back. Killzone 2's controls feel heavy at first, but when you realize what's going on it'll just click and you'll realize that this game's doing something completely different. It really is a huge step forward, and I hope other games take note because it'll be hard to play as a floating dot in every other FPS now.
 
I knew what you meant lol.


Anyone who has played the full game... how do you switch the gun to your left hand? Is it possible in the demo? I love what I played so far and will not be bothered by the lack of this option but I heard it was available and I'd like to try it out as I would normally hold a gun in my left hand.

Also... does it work with MP or is it right hand only?

Has anyone else noticed that Sev apparently is extremely short? You stare at your teammates' chests. It drives me crazy and makes me feel so damn tiny!

Youre eyes are at the the height of the gun, if you would play it from the normal eyes it would be difficult to call killzone a FPS. So.. Sev aint tiny.

But yeah I understand what you mean.

yeah, I picture it as he's constantly in a semi-squat, ready for combat 100% of the time LOL.

Sev's a midget. He raises the ironsights to his eyes, doesn't he? ;)

if it works like here, you can pay more for bigger download cap and even "unlimited downloads" (they cut my "super unlimited" account after 150 GB :-).

God.

You're so fucking annoying. Can you just go back to the NPD threads and sit there drooling like a retarded dog barking about how Killzone 2 will fail to sell any copies? First you were bitching in NPD threads about how everyone who owns a PS3 is retarded and hanging onto KZ2 to save them. Then you went on acting all high and mighty after reviews started coming in, saying that none of us could talk because we hadn't played the game.

Now everyone who gives a shit has played the game and come out with their own opinions, and you're STILL bitching. Find something better to do with yourself instead of trolling PS3 games you annoying shit. It's not even funny anymore.

:lol Get the fuck out.

These sales-age people are really, really pissing me off. I honestly think the mods should set up a sales-only sub-forum and keep these people out, give Gaming-Age back to gamers.
 
Finally created a UK account and downloaded the demo. Enjoyed it 1st day for me. How did Fear2 score higher :/...anyway first day for me.
 
played the Fear 2 demo right after my 10th straight KZ2 play through...wow what a difference. Even though I could aim faster, fear 2 felt wrong...so so very wrong.. guns felt so weak..ugh KZ2 WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!!
 
Close combat sucks in this game. If you don't kill them they get like 2-3 free hits on you while you "turn realistically" to deal with them. That sucks. Doesn't feel real at all. I don't think I'll be doing that much anyway though haha.

You know, I liked Fear 2 demo as well, but I'd be extremely surprised if the game ends up being anywhere near as well reviewed as KZ2 overall. Edge can be just weird sometimes, I kinda learned to tune out their scores and just read reviews, which are mostly very well written.

Wait until you've played Killzone 2 MP, the MP beta made just about every online shooter unplayable for me.

After a lot of plays with the default control settings, I tried to play with more acceleration but I couldn't, it didn't feelt 'natural'; I don't know about multiplayer, but in single player I will be using default controls.

EDGE comments:



Sounds great!



Wow. So the multiplayer is amazing. Sounds good.



So....erm. 7/10?

Uh.

The negatives I can gather is that they didn't like the story much and the voice acting was very crude. Gee, sounds similar to another game that they gave a 9.

Yet, the actual GAMEPLAY and ONLINE is amazing featuring some of the best AI in a game. The graphics and polish, they noted, were also stunning.

What a stupid line of reasoning if they really knocked the game down that much for those issues.

Seriously, is there anything more to this review I'm missing? If that's the comments they made, and the score they gave it, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of in my life.

so i guess by "Hahaha. That's all I have to say." you meant the exact opposite--that you were going to continue complaining about any insufficiently positive review of killzone 2. wonderful.

Yeah that's the shit right there. You can sort of sense that in the demo, the combat in this game will kick ass. The demo reminded me of the way firefights work in Fear. Just hope there'll be lots of intricate arena-style level design with some vertical gameplay maybe, giving you and the AI the opportunity to use your cleverness and run around like crazy people. Basically the first part of the demo vs the second. Second kicks the first ones ass.
