Why did GG give so much time for coverage? It would be awesome PR if they moved up the release date. A lot of the Killzone 2 hype is dying down.

GG did their job, and they did it more than well. They delivered an awesome game, we know that.
Now this guy has to do his job too, but there's no money in the bank!

Look at his face, he never ever touched a sixaxis/dualshock in his life, he's the boss. Gamers in HK and ME are playing KILLZONE 2 right now. Do you think he cares? Of course not. I want to put my elbow on his face.
I'm not even talking about the french useless nameless qui ne sert à rien mais à vraiment rien.
Where's my KILLZONE 2 motherfuckers!

Helghan cookie anyone?

This was my lame 'shop after I gave up trying to figure out how to make ISA / Helghast symbol sugar cookies.

 

[Mik2121]

I'm starting my new school project and this time it will be a movie in a world similar to the one in Killzone 2. Can't wait for the game to be released so I can play it like crazy and get tons of ideas from it

 

[AranhaHunter]

I actually tried to slide/unlock that with my mouse :|

:lol

WTF?
page 3?
what's wrong with you people?

Killzone 2 hype is a rollercoaster.

It went up and down tons of times.

E3 2007 - went sky high and then went down after a long disappearance.
GDC 08 - went up a bit and down a bit. People were questioning the fun factor.
E3 2008 - went up a bit higher thanks for the multi player footages.
Fall 2008 - Beta, nuff said.
Dec/Jan - Hype reached a new high thanks to reviews.

Feb - hype drops due to a long wait.

Future Feb 25-27- Hype will climax when the game releases.

I just think it was bad idea from sony to send the review codes to magazine/sites too early , it's just wrong , the reviews hit soo soon , the talk and Discussion about the game was that time , now a lot of people will only wait for the game , no Discussions and no hype .

Gears of War , GTA4 style with releasing the reviews at the same week with the game was perfect for the hype imo , but yeah this is Sony , they are pure stupid mofos .

Would be great to know how Sony is thinking whit there ads strategy. I mean, I have not seen anything yet and Sony said on there blog that it would be a huge investment in ads for this game...Where is it?!


EDIT
btw. just read that the guardian wrote this:

The Guardian relased it's review of Killzone 2 in todays paper. Whilst the reviewer praises the game, his closing comments read: "This is still the Playstation 3's best shooter, even if it is not quite up to the awesome standard of Xbox 360's Gears Of War 2."


Was that necessary from the guardian?

According the PSBlog, they planned to start advertising mid February which technically
started yesterday and I ain't seen shit though. The only ad i have seen was on IGN.com
when i went there to look at the FEAR 2 review.

It would be necessary if it would be true. But it's not. So...

Man, we haven't played anything on PSN for ages. Hope to see you on Killzone's battefield soon

take it easy... they will advertise the hell out of it... no point on doing it before game is released, a lot of people are bitching that they released reviews too early...

ok, didn't know that, should not thrust the news feed on n4g to much i guess...

 

[DeeVoc]

Agh, contemplating sending something back to Gamefly top open up a spot just in case they move the street date for KZ2.


Preemptive response to, "Why don't you just buy it since we all know this will be the most awesomest game to ever grace a console?".

I very well may buy it after seeing if controls hinder the MP experience for me. Add in the fact that from GF it'll run me $45 with the "used" price and a $5 coupon.

 

[Ceb]

Seems like they did. Hopefully it gets added soon.

ChryZ: Yeah, I'm waiting for Killzone 2 - nothing else cuts it.

lol no! I meant that the comparison is true. I should say "correct" instead.

I would buy this soundtrack in a heartbeat. Have we heard whether or not it's being released?

For the people that keep asking about the ads, go here

Ask Jeff when they'll air. He usually responds quite a bit in these weekend posts.

[Truant]

The music in the intro and in the main-menu is excellent. In the game, it's mostly garbage. Why didn't they use a real orchestra for the in-game music as well?

I bring 2 wallpapers. My contribution to an awesome thread.
I will ask Bruce to add them to the OP.

Damn. That's some good stuff there, Nike. Grabbin' both!

Amazing wallpapers!

You will be impressed. We’ll let you see the ad before it starts airing, and you won’t have to wait long.

^^ Awesome. They'll probably show us the ad this week and we'll probably see them air next week leading up to launch and beyond. BEYOND!

Awesome ... but where are the larger versions?

 

[Mik2121]

I know this is a bit offtopic but.. I just started my new school project (we don't need to start it until June, but hey...) and I'm going for a Killzone 2 style!. I'm doing some sketches now and uploaded the first one on my site.

Check it out here: http://mik2121.com/en/drawings/new-school-sketches

And tell me what you think about it! :3 :3

 

[Donos]

any idea when the Killzone 2 ads are going to start? I know you guys will have it on here first, so tell me I am going to be impressed! Thanks!

Please not too artsy. Ballet of Death artsy is fine

Already sent them to Bruce, they will be soon available in the opening post.

Very cool Mik, maybe some glow around the eyes?

Use subtle orange reflections on the top of the tube and where it connects to the mask? Just a suggestion...

Something like this? Maybe it doesn't go with the style you're going for though

 

[Rapping Granny]

Would have worked out great if they had a commercial for the NBA all star weekend, since they are already sponsoring the event.

What a missed oppertunity to grab the 18-30 male market attention.

I made some glow on the second head I made:

But didn't made the glow on the first one because I wasn't sure about letting the design like that, and making some glow would mean having to re-draw more if I changed something.

But thanks for the comment - I guess I will add the glow reflections now. Thanks!.

They said ads would be online before they aired.

As awesome has Ballet of death was, they couldn't use it as a TV Ad

Cool man, well let us know when it's done, I like what I've seen so far!

Yes and the skills competition was yesterday.

I don't watch the skills competition anymore, did Barbosa from the Suns win on the event he was on?

 

[Mik2121]

Cool man, well let us know when it's done, I like what I've seen so far!

Thanks!. I will do some full body sketches for the soldiers between tomorrow and the next day (it's too late today.. gotta go to sleep already), then I'll have to choose what style I'll keep, and then make other classes based on said style.

I also made some 'ranks' for the soldiers and their visuals will change depending on said ranks, so the whole 'sketches' part will take a very long time

I only watched the slam dunk competition, which was dissapointing.

Yeah, the best dunker lost. Dwight Howard's throw off the side of the backboard was the most impressive dunk.

But... LeBron said he's doing it next year ... I'll definitely tune in for that!

I'm not the kind of person who really cares about spoilers, so I went and watched the entire game walk through (Almost 6 hours of video, I didn't watch it one sitting though).
I was hoping that by watching it, it would make me less excited about this game. But it didn't, now I just want to play it more than ever.

The game is done and ready, why not release it now? >_>
Maybe I am just impatient.
