Recommended Posts

Me thinks you should let some discussion happen before posting more, or add it to the original post instead :p

btwwww, do we know what the EU cover is yet?

I just post every piece of info I can find, nothing wrong with that :p

EU cover is the same as the cover from the game guide above

I know, not complaining about that, but the topic is only being bumped by yourself 90% of the time :rofl:

Not my fault if no one has anything to say :p

Guests read the topic as well, I just post stuff from around the web (Y)

I don't mind the updates, it's just the lack of conversation. At this rate AB may as well set up an RSS feed for us lol.

Well you know, this board is chock-a-block with raging COD/GoW/Halo lovers, they're probably all in shock just now. Give them time ;)

JOKES! Don't overreact anyone, kthx :rofl:

It's okay but, this train wreck of a thread will be cleared for the official a week or so before launch (Y) Not making it any earlier or the same thing will happen - 41 pages before anyones even played the game lol. Most of these updates ain't really substantial enough to make new topics, so I'll just keep chucking things at you in here. Maybe once the demo date is announced or something I'll make a new topic telling everyone that, and we can discuss the demo in it.

NeoGAF is at 280 pages, so we're not doing that bad.

Just been watching some trailers and I have to say everything looks great so far, but my god the flamethrower looks like ass :blink:

It's meant to be a napalm flamethrower which is why it fires in more of a stream than a huge ball of fire

From IGN,

And then there's the flamethrower, the current flavour of the month for shooters. As opposed to World at War's flamethrower, which fires a jet of flame twenty feet or so, Killzone 2's flamethrower is a little different – it shoots an arcing stream of molten flame. It's pretty effective, but rather than sending your enemies to a quick and charcoaled death, they tend to dance about for quite a while before succumbing. We want faster stopping power!

In regards to the EU Bundle

So far looks like America won't get it...

No Killzone 2 bundles planned for the US

Earlier this week, Sony Europe leaked packshots of a Killzone 2 bundle that would be accompanying the games release across the Atlantic. The bundle included the 80GB PS3, a Dual Shock 3, and a copy of the highly anticipated first person shooter. We followed up on the story, and contacted Sony to see if Americans would be getting the same treatment.

The disappointing answer, unfortunately, is no. Sony told us they had no plans for a Killzone 2 hardware bundle at the moment. They also mentioned, however, this was subject to change.

We'll see if it stays that way.

A bundle and price cut would be a very good idea, but I think asking for a price cut just now is too early. Maybe at E3.

Ah so thats why, I thought it was just a traditional flame thrower we see in other FPS'. I prefer COD/GOW/Halo 3's

Yeah it doesn't look as spectacular as a traditional flamethrower, but the death animations and burning Helghasts are still fun :cool:

First online review of Killzone 2 awards game 4 out of 5

killzone222b.jpg

Swedish site GP has published what appears to be the first online review of Killzone 2, and has awarded the game 4 out of 5.

The reviewer sums things up thus:

[Translated from Swedish] The controls are good and the environments feel natural, raw and uncouth and that?s where Killzone 2 succeeds compared to many other shooters; it feels more personal, it?s easier to identify with your character and to feel connected with your teammates. Co-op is noticeably missing, which is odd, and Killzone 2 isn?t doing much new with the genre but it is great enough to succeed without launching for the Christmas Sales Period.

Killzone 2 is released exclusively on PlayStation 3 at the end of February.

Thanks, disc.

Lol!

I don't think i'm going to take that review too seriously.

Though I do love online reviews that pop up on these sites that noone has heard of and there seem to be a total of 4 reviews and all by the same guy, and thats all the reviews on the site as I cant seem to find nymore, so its barely a game related site at all.

And then theres the fact it hit that site before any actual main gaming site, no thanks, lol.

i can only take them serious if they gave GOW 4/5 too. or they got ******* from valve but not kz2 makers. else the rating doesnt make sense.

I wouldnt worry aout it, if you go to the site it sees to have barely anything game related on it and barely any reviews.

Just sees to be nother one of those sites that wants hits, I wouldnt be suprised if they even got a copy of the game as the review is a whole, and get ready, three paragraphs long.

I could write more about the experienceof taking off my left shoe.

I hope you're not serious (N)

edit: oh ffs, you guys are really gonna cry if everyone doesn't gives it 10/10 or 5/5?

Seriously, grow up. Not everyone needs to love the GoW, Halo, KZ and LBP's.

+1

A review is a single persons opinion on the game, not always going to be the same opinion of those that LOVE the PS3 or even the FPS genre. Whilst I believe most magazines give reviews to certain 'fans' of a genre if someone doesn't like FPS games then chances of them appreciating what others do is slim. Attention to detail, things that it may do better than other games that the reviewer may never of even played so cannot make such comparisons.

Deal with it, at the end of the day, if you like the game buy it, listen to what they say good/bad points rather than a final score.

Guys stop being lame and flipping out over a Swedish newspaper review :laugh:

How often does anyone post/take to heart such reviews? (I've never seen this source before) Just a journalist with an opinion. I can find reviews of pretty much every big game that aren't automatically giving out full marks.

I do hope reviews talk about the bots, I think it's pretty cool this is the first console FPS to include fully working bots :)

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
