Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Give me some examples of websites and I'll believe you :p

I don't think I've ever seen a steel box game the same price as the vanilla version :p

When Bioshock came out, the steel box was the same price as the vanilla version in Game shop as least!

I look forward to seeing some reviews if that is true about the embargo date AB.

Reviews so far, mostly compromised of official Mags though

OPM US: 5/5

OPM UK: 9/10

OPM Aus: 10/10

OPM Spain: 9.5/10

OPM Portugal: 9/10

OPM Netherlands: 91/100 (only reviewed single player)

MegaGames.com: 9.9/10

576Kbyte: 9.7/10

Gameplay: 20/20

Gamepro: 5/5

PSX Extreme: 95/100

Hobby Consolas: 9.4/10

Reviews tomorrow should be the big hitters if true - At least if they're ready to post, as the embargo was the 2nd of Feb before.

Uh, would be awesome with a moved embargo date (Y)

Dying to read some trustworthy reviews!

EDIT: I just decided I want to order the game in the UK, considering the pound is worth the same as gravel these days. The cheapest place I can find in Denmark is 55 pounds ( Keyboard acting up, can't do the pound sign :p ) I usually always order from dvd.co.uk whic has the tin box edition for 35 pounds + 2 pounds shipping. Anyone have any better places that send the game out in due time and ships internationally?

Collectors edition box for ?32.99 on Shopto now - http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...;codart=PS3KI00 (?1 off code - shoptovoucher2)

Sethos - Play ship internationally I think, but as of now, no CE box yet (if it's what you want) - http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...-2/Product.html (?32.99)

Can you use a voucher code with a pre-order on ShopTo? :/

edit: Munky, where did you pre-order from?

edit2: Okay you can use a voucher with Shop-To, just need to go to "my account" and redeem the code - It will automatically be offset against your next order, whether that's something that's in stock or on pre-order. Whatever comes first.

KZ2 for ?31.99 then:))

Actually, looking at the date, 27th is a Friday and then I wouldn't have the game before Monday at the earliest. The Danish shop I usually orders at sends out games two days before, so I would have it for the weekend. In case I do decide to order it from the UK, which shop is usually the most trustworthy? Some shops always runs out of stock in no time or process your orders whenever the hell they please.

Okay also, KZ2 normal edition is ?29.99 on ShopTo - http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...mp;platform=PS3

So you're paying ?3 more for tin case on their sit:p:p

KZ2 for ?28.99

or

KZ2 "CE" for ?31.99

H:pm :p

What bothers me the most is that I have to get the game in the UK... me being in the Netherlands is quote annoying :p - I don't like to wait.

I mean, 32 pounds? Retail stores here are charging up to 75 euro's (69.50GBP/99.50USD) with some online shops dropping to prices near 50 euro's...

Just go to the studios and ask for a copy :p

I did actually think of just going there a while ago - see if they have tours or something... :p never got around to that.

Might do now tho... along with my bat and a couple of buff looking fellas. I want that game XD

The power unlimited crew camped in front of the studio for 2 days with sleeping bags, they did get in the 3rd day because they were blocking employees from getting in and annoying the crap out of them :p

[inside joke]If I remember correctly you did that very successfully with Prins Carnaval a couple of years back. You're hired. We're leaving tomorrow!.[/inside joke]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the classes by the way? Which are fun/great to play, which work out best etc.?

Hold on, I'll tell you in a month :rofl:

Most people will probably end up creating custom classes when they have the ability to. I posted the custom class possibilities back some pages.

Basically you can take a primary of one class, and a secondary of another to suit your play style. Primaries & secondaries will be broken into things like healing/support/attack. So I guess it's just up to your play style - Do you play better as support, or all out attack?

Hold on, I'll tell you in a month :rofl:
Heh. Nah, I just thought maybe someone had some inside info/read somewhere which classes work out great and which don't... Sure a Scout/Medic or something would be quite nice, but with all the possibilities I just think there's some combinations which hold an advantage over others. You can't balance a game perfectly (unless you're Blizzard and made StarCraft.)

Damn forget that last video, here's 2 mins of direct feed footage from Visari Square, not yet shown either - http://www.videogamer.com/videos/killzone_..._gameplay.html#

Love the way shell cases fly out your gun :p

The sound in this game is gonna kick **** out my room walls :laugh:

From a journalist on the GAF

I just got an email back from Sony PR.

In North America at least, the embargo still lifts on Monday the 2nd.

If anything ends tomorrow, it looks like it'll just be for Europe then. Eurogamer review possibly...

A whole month before the game comes out? I wouldn't count on it, I don't think EG have ever been that early. A week at most.

The review builds have been with reviewers since December remember.

Reviews are going to be coming in when the USA embargo lifts on the 2nd, it's the journalists on GAF with reviews to post relaying such information like the above. Obviously we're not going to be flooded with all the reviews the day the embargo's lifted, but from that date they can be posted at will.

Oh Munky :spindj:

Eurogamer Killzone 2 Review - 29th Jan. 5pm GMT

Killzone 2 has been the subject of intense hype, speculation and discussion ever since it was shown off - or rather, ever since Sony tried to give us an impression of how it would look - at E3 2005.

In the intervening period we've had teasers, trailers, hands-off and finally hands-on previews and a closed multiplayer beta - a rare thing in these days of betas-as-demos marketing - but the ultimate question still lingers: is it any good?

Well, tomorrow you'll be able to find out, as Eurogamer's review of Killzone 2 will finally go live at 5pm GMT on Thursday, 29th January.

    • 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.
