There was no online pass downloaded when I downloaded my pre-ordered digital copy last night. So, I'm guessing it's not needed.

Typically it's built into the digital download file for games using online pass, so that's not really confirmation. You can't buy a preowned digital game :)

Ha. I knew that 45 min to an hour per mission stat they were throwing out there was BS.

I mean, I don't mind. I'd rather have a short, replayable campaign on a handheld anyway. But man I knew there was no way the average mission was that long.

On my first run through, taking my time and looking for Intel, each level took me around 40-45 mins. But yeah, you can speed that up quite a lot :)

Good few levels in. Turns out I'm under embargo until the morning of the 4th, so one last screenshot from me until then.

Updated the OP with some pretty images and gifs of death and so on. Sorry it took so long; I couldn't edit properly on my phone so had to wait until I got into work this morning to do it.

We don't know the BLES/BCES codes so no way anybody can know it. Probably, the versions are different.
Why not buy some UK credit online on ebay or one of the many key shops?
Click to expand...


Because the one from an online shop took like a week to get it, from Amazon.de it still took some days, I download with 0,1 Mb where I am right now, I only have a 8 gig card and I take a long trip to attend my sisters wedding on Thursday, so UK version won't be out. Perfect shitstorm.

UK account had better deals and I buy a lot of UK games for PS3, anyway, but I never thought I'd want to play MP on my Vita :/

My brother wants the game as well and uses a DE account, so I can buy him the game, we take turns playing it and he can buy me the UK version after we're back.

Or Sony could let me use my CC on their store, damn it.

I suppose Americans could be jealous that Australians are getting it on the 4th, but by the time we're done downloading it, they'll already have it anyway

This was my only reason for investing in a Vita, really can't wait but think it's coming out Friday here in the UK.

Received my copy already. Absolutely amazing looking (and it plays well too, of course).

I'm genuinely stunned by just how detailed and high quality the visuals are. I mean, they're on a portable platform yet still worried about reflections across so many surfaces? Very few consoles games this gen ever bothered to do anything like that (they usually fake it completely). Here we see proper representations of colors and objects in the reflections.

It also just moves as you'd expect. Most attempts at a mobile shooter have fallen flat once you get a hold of them regardless of how impressive they look in stills. Killzone manages to present animations that you'd expect from a proper console game and do so in large levels that smoothly stream from one area to the next.

This might just be the most technically accomplished mobile game ever made (including all mobile platforms such as iOS and Android). There is nothing else out there even remotely this impressive.

I so cant wait for this game!
Been yearning for a good FPS for Vita for a while, (Not that I'm so much of a FPS player, but I do enjoy some of them), but good portable FPS's seemed the no. 1 thing the Vita could make a reality.

Kinda hoping the beta progress with transfer to the full game, but I don't think it will which is a shame, made so much progress in the beta. Would have been awesome if they handled it like Soul Sacrifice, which is one of the best ideas I've seen, its win-win for everyone involved really.

All I can say is the future is looking bright for Vita with this coming shortly, Borderlands 2 on the way, Walking Dead for EU (Hopefully tomorrow... Please...), some more HD collections I believe and a ton of indie stuff. Also the talk of Bioshock Vita! Which I hope to heaven will happen!

I'm really hoping Square Enix do something with it. I'd love some sort of exclusive Final Fantasy on it... Or maybe even better yet, just port Type-0 to it.
Kingdom Hearts Vita I'd love too, but I think its unlikely that'll happen for quite some time..., I'd KILL for the HD collections on Vita though and ability to sync progress between PS3/Vita version!

Lastly if they can get a GTA Vita, I think the Vita will quickly become my favourite portable device...

I like that you can tap the screen to quickly change weapons / throw grenades. i found it a lot easier than fumbling with the D-pad (in the multiplayer beta)

If you had to choose... Is the feel/weight more akin to KZ2 or KZ3? And in general, are the controls decent? Seriously this close to buying a Vita for KZ:M alone.

Cheers, guys.

Feels more like Killzone 2 to me, with optional gyro precision when ADS.

I have the Nyko powergrip because it doubles the battery life.

I've had two of them, both of which stopped working within the first week. Buyer beware. Now I use this, and the only time I remove it is when I need to carry my Vita in my pocket. Love it.

I haven't bought a full Vita game in a while, only PSN titles. This will break that streak. The beta was fantastic.

edit: Hori Vita grip has already been plugged. Goood.

Ehh .. More like killzone 3 to me.. The weighty feeling is not here like in kz2. Only thing left from kz2 is the feeling of beeing a dwarf.

But I like the steering alot..

You're probably right. I haven't played Killzone 2 in awhile.
