I searched on the AVSforum for the official thread of my specific TV and in there searched for people, who have far more knowledge of this than me, who had been working on the best settings for a PS3 connected through HDMI for my specifc TV. Copied everything and the difference was pretty staggering, way more detail was uncovered than my initial settings. I've never touched them again. Don't have any problem with seeing the symbol at the start with the default settings.Haunted said:

Dear lord what happened around here? Maybe I should keep reading on weekends. :lol
So people already have the game? I'm so jealous. I showed the demo to a bunch of friends this weekend and they were all blown away.

Beta Phase 2 - 25 hours
Beta Phase 3 - 12 hours (This was when I actually tried to get to the top rank quickly)

I was thinking the same thing, the metal case with Killzone is tight. And I dont find paying $20 more for the game now with the cool case to be too expensive. However, I am just going to wait.
Anyone have an actual picture of that Steelbook case? The ebay pic looks like a mockup. I would love to see a real picture of it.
Is this steelbook exclusive to Canada or something? Or is it fan made? I didn't see anyone advertising a Steelbook Killzone.

Great way to start a review in a professional manner.
Bet this guy loved COD4
Not like Rico was like that in Killzone 1 eh?
I see since only killzone 2 does this type of objectives, the millions spent means only GG must do something special!
how transparent.

Well that's just to get to the top rank (General) where you receive the last Badge. (Scout Badge). Badges = Classes
To get the Medals for the classes which unlock the secondary abilities and then allow you to swap secondary abilities to create hybrid classes take way more hours than that. Then there's the objective medals which give you more points for completing the objectives, then there's general medals. (Headshots, melee kills etc.)
All in all there are 100+ hours worth of stuff to achieve and that doesn't include all the time you'll be playing after that just for fun!
Plus the extensive clan support, valor points and such. And there are trophies where you need to be in the top 5% in any give week if you need something to keep you motivated.But to just unlock all the Classes will be 12-25 hours. But that's just the beginning, the casual part. Everyone will unlock the classes given enough time. The depth comes after that.

Yea but I don't think there was ever real discussion of the content of the review. Did anyone imagine that kz2 would get marked for not being like the original kz?

It seemed like EDGE really only beat KZ2 up over its story......and maybe lack of originality and innovation?

They seem to think quite highly of the online also:
In fact,‭ ‬few story-driven games have been so much more dramatic in multiplayer.‭ Freed of its narrative shackles,‭ ‬Killzone‭ ‬2‭‬s deathmatches openly celebrate the tight controls‭ (‬jumping now included‭‬,‭ ‬hand-made environments and technical beauty of a‭ ‬game that is,‭ ‬almost exclusively,‭ ‬about popping someone in the face or blowing them to kingdom come.‭
Separate development of the multiplayer modes has paid dividends,‭ ‬the badge and perks systems adding distinctive RPG flavour to a uniquely hardcore team-based experience.‭
First impressions might be that everyones dying all of the time,‭ ‬but perseverance pays off.‭ ‬Thanks largely to its online play,‭ ‬Killzone‭ ‬2‭ ‬should find itself a fanbase no one can overlook.

Y'know he could be a billionaire. If I were one, $1000 for a videogame weeks before launch would be nothing, I'd do that with no hesitation.
Billionaires probably spend $1000 on freaking lunch. If I were one, $1000 for a breakfast item served during lunchtime would be nothing, I'd do that with no hesitation.

I'm really stoked for the multiplayer, even though I wasn't in beta. It looks like counterstrike in the sense that weapon recoil forces you to use burstfire and a few well-placed shots can kill you.
I hate to keep harping on that Edge review, but it's so strange, though (especially for an Edge review).
Dead Space and Killzone 2 are in the exact same boat. Both bring nothing really new to the table, but do everything they set out to do pretty much flawlessly from a gameplay and audio-visual standpoint. They are polished to a spit-shine.
His single biggest gripe with the game is the single player's script and storyline, and yet he goes on to say this:
If Killzone 2 is "almost exclusively" about "popping someone in the face", then you are basically admitting that the story and characters are irrelevant (or at least highly unimportant), so why put so much emphasis on them when reviewing the SP?
And would anyone really call Killzone 2 "story-driven"? Really? It's gunplay-driven, probably the most pure "gun game" since FEAR and Black (both of which are, not coincidentally, mentioned in the review).

i don't get the emphasis on story in the review either. you just don't play this type of game for that aspect. Black supposedly had a story too, but who remembers or cares? god, all the mentions of that game make me want to replay it so bad
sucks that the Edge thread was closed down, we could actually have some discussion there now.

Edge really does try hard to sound "smarter" than other review sites. I could see how that would rub people the wrong way. I applaud their effort to bring a little gravitas to games journalism, but it seems very forced, and pompous as a result.
As for the review itself, they spent way too much time talking about the single player and only a few lines digging into the multiplayer features. I don't know if this is par for the course in their reviews, but there is a definite lack of balance there. You don't need to spend 6 paragraphs telling me there is too much naughty language and FPS cliches. A single sentence would have sufficed (like that).

Only if you start flamming other posters...
Edit: or shamelessly promote your website on GAF.
I was hoping for an Edge 9 but more or less foreseeing an 8 after reading other reviews and knowing how they usually review stuff. The 7 caught me by surprise though. Still, they praise the AI, the tech, the theatre of war and gunfights, which is all that's so so awesome in the demo and also praise the multiplayer, which is what'll bring longevity to the game. In the end, one's appreciation of the story is probably more subjective than the other factors and hey, can't please'em all. There were plenty of reviews that liked it.
I was surprised by that first paragraph though, Edge usually distances itself from all the crap about fanboys and such and are more to the point. Guess even they couldn't stay away from it this time.

Gave it another play through and yep again, it's not floaty controls or input lag... it's 100% the aim assist (or lack thereof I should say). It feels frustrating or like you can't get your damn aim straight, but that's because we are so used to games just locking right on. I'll say it again it's not newbie friendly. I feel like we may start to see this as a possible trend, so hopefully FPS fans hop on now.
God, I dont know what GG is gonna do, I hope they dont end up changing anything. Its impossible to post anything on the Official PS forums since its really bad meaning if you say the game plays fine for you, asses over there call you ignorant and link that dumb Utube video like you're the one who's wrong for not having any issues how the game plays.
