Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

I thought you are not allowed to resell these?

You won't be, someone could get their ass handed to them.

Wouldn't put it past these discs being stamped/coded somehow to link back to what firm/group of journalists they were sent to. Maybe not individual people, but like a batch of discs being stamped "Gamespot".

Ebay will probably pull the auction before it finishes anyway.

That is what I am thinking. Although I have seen Review copies being sold on eBay before that did finish so who knows but anyone who is stupid enough to pay at amount of money needs their brain checking.

Playability: 5 (out of 5)

Lasting Appeal: 4 (out of 5)

Overall: 9.7 (out of 10)

"Killzone 2 is one of the most gorgeous and atmospheric FPS ever released, surprassing easily everything the PS3 has to offer. It's easily one of the best games of 2009. What will happen with the franchise in the future? We hope that it will be successful, reaching heights of happines never reached before and bringing a real conclusion to the unfinished saga. When and how it will happen? Only God knows - he likes to be called Guerilla Games nowdays"

And for those interested

The review embargo for Killzone 2 lifts on February 2, which is when the Internet will become flooded with tons of analysis from critics around the world.

Watch around 2.12 for the Helghan that does a forward roll over some debris. Cool stuff. :p

Yeah that's had gif treatment already :p

Guys, question, I did like Resistance 1 and was planning to get Resistance 2 too, shall i get it or simply skip that and get Killzone2 ? i dont think i will be able to focus on playing resistance 2 and killzone news running everywhere. :p

I enjoy R2 online, it's more in-line with Halo/COD and other fast paced/twitchy shooters. I'm not that great at games like that though, which is why I am also now kind of waiting on KZ2 (coupled with the fact it has classes, I play pretty awesome as a support class... medic in TF2 FTW!). Although I was playing some R2 last night.

It seems KZ2 online is a little slower/more tactical.

If you can get it cheap, I'd go for it. It's the only game with 8 player Co-Op which you might find a decent timesink.

Art for this game is pretty awesome - I have no idea how this passed in Germany, I'm beginning to think that's a rumour :p

I wouldn't be surprised if it was false tbh, was it actually confirmed?

A well known/respected user on NeoGAF posted it, I'll try and see if he linked a source. I believe it may have come from a press release?

But with all the violence/swearing/blood and complete Nazi-style imagery, I doubt it.

Unless Sony impressed the officials of Germany that well with the game play :rofl:

Are we expecting big numbers from Killzone 2 then? I hear they are expecting sales in the MGS4 range, which I find difficult to believe considering the little to no marketing this game has had.

The game isn't out for over a month. Expect marketing to start up around the time reviews are released (beginning of Feb). We already have a European KZ2 bundle confirmed also.

It's an FPS, the most popular genre of games, and one that's probably going to score highly. It's going to sell well.

The graphics are the best seen yet, online play has some pretty fresh ideas and community support (clan system/tournaments) is top notch. Meaning it has stand out points, it's not just a recycled FPS.

No competing FPS games are released around the same time as it either, at least nothing like Halo/COD.

The online following is starting to reach the cult levels seen for things like Halo, and while those people draw much negative attention as they go ballistic if their game is in anyway criticized, that sort of following makes Halo as popular as it is today.

Look at the size of the NeoGAF KZ2 topic - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342018

It's getting pretty crazy.

I personally can see it easily becoming the best selling PS3 game so far - MGS4 currently holds that position (I think?).

Sony do need some good marketing campaigns though, no doubts, a big cult following online ain't gonna do everything for you, it just helps.

It's no Halo killer, nothing will ever be, or has to be - But it's definitely shaping up to be Sony's exclusive FPS that could deliver the rabid fanbase Halo does exclusively for MS.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
