Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Play the game on medium, enjoy the story and unlock the hardest difficulty, then play again and challenge yourself with the hardest one. That is what I do with FPS, even with those that have all difficulties unlocked. I don't want to start with the hardest one and get frustrated from the beginning, no fun in that.

I do the same, Play on either Easy/Medium difficulty depending on the game and generally take the story in without having to redo one section over and over, then go back on do it on the hardest setting for the challenge.

Why everyone keep making themes with the default icons? The game studios have artist that can create new icons for the themes. That theme with more sci-fi/Killzone style (in that 2D style) icons would have been better.

Yea, the worst thing about the themes is, as far as I know still, the stupid PSN network icon that still stands out like a sore thumb.

And does it offer anything other than a steel box? If not, pass!

No, it's priced the same as the normal version.

Just a fancy box.

I believe they said that there wouldn't be any collectors editions so yeah I imagine just a fancy box :(

Would of liked to see some making of documenttry about it, especially all the hype it caused on first showing and how they felt with the CG backlash it received.

There's a 41 minute interview out there covering that pretty much :)

You watch it? It is subtitled though, as it was done in Dutch.

It seems Bravo [TV channel] is having a KZ2 Special at 11am on Sunday 1st of Feb.

Some new MP footage advertising it [looks like a clip from the show] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H_g72sOv4c&fmt=22

Should be a good watch, they're demoing MP stuff/bots/sentry building above.

Cool. I usually watch Playr anyway so it will be good to see some (hopefully) new footage.

Guaranteed some new, the map above in the video has never been shown before.

Thought as much (N)

Now this is the perfect example of spending extra on a game when its not worth it :p

Game in Spain are only selling the metal tin box edition - http://game.es/ficha/ficha.aspx?SKU=053546

No price, but no other KZ2 options are available.

Also, the deal with resolutions

"Ok, this is the deal: If Killzone 2 detects a TV that is set to 1080p or 1080i and cannot switch to 720p (our preferred resolution, for if your TV supports it), then it will render in 960x1080 and horizontally scale that to 1080i/p.

The advantage of doing this (over rendering 720p and then upscaling it to 1080i/p) is that you don't have *any* vertical scaling, and analog TV's don't even have a horizontal resolution. The result is a much clearer picture with much less artifacts for those who have a 1080i/p only set.

Killzone's adviced resolution is 720p, we just made sure that if you have a 1080i/p only set, it looks much better than the 'naive' implementation of upscaling 720p"

interesting, i wonder how it will look on my 1080p plasma :)

Well it's going to run in 720p unless your plasma

a) Doesn't support 720p

or

b) You force 1080p

The main reason the above is in place is for those people with weird ass HDTVs that only support 1080i/p, but not 720p.
