Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Seb Downie, the QA manager at Guerilla Games explains the four difficulties in Killzone 2, over at the SCEA forums;

The difficulty system is not based on enemy counts, but more on damage modifiers and health. The health of you, your buddies and the various enemy types and the damage that all of you deal out. As the difficulty goes up, your ability to Run ?n Gun goes down. You?ll be spending more and more time ducking from cover and recharging. It becomes a lot more tactical and needs a bit more brainpower as you go up. The lower difficulty settings is more for folks who like to storm into rooms, guns blazing. Do that on the harder difficulties and you?ll get more than a black Recruitit

Let your girlfriend play this one, or your mom. Anyone caught playing this for any other reason than seeing if he can get through it blind-folded needs a open-handed sTrooperer

If you are new to FPSs, or haven?t played one since Doom, then you might want to start here. Will provide a challenge in pVeteraneran

Now we?re talking. This is your first playthrough. Hop to it Elite>Elite

(unlocked by completing the game once on any difficulty)

We up the anty a bit and remove your HUD and crosshair. Try that on for size, but don?t come crying to me if the big bad men with the orange goggles take you out back for a proper slapping.

I'm most likely going to be in Uni tomorrow when this gets put up on the store. Think I'll take my PSP to Uni and use remote play to start the download so it's ready for me coming home :p

Andy, you sound like a serial stalker! Plus you both have my Black SuperDry jacket! Discraceful!

Yeah but I have two, one leather and one army style, so therefore I'm better :p My army one has orange stitching too :heart: 360 colours ftw lol.

hey DM AB , if you meetup which i think is gonna happen all due to KZ . get a mugshot of you together. (AB , maybe u can try punching him just when it goes click :p )

Pfft, he'll be bowing down to me more like.

I was here first, both on NW and this planet :p

Can't wait to try the demo, what time of day will it be online?

Most likely around normal UK PSN update time (4-6pm). But no one really knows, just don't expect a 12:00am launch, it'll be sometime tomorrow during the day/early evening.

Typical, had to be on the day I'm in uni longest.

Ah well I have the next 4 days to pick it to pieces.

Same :pinch:

11am-4pm, I'll be home for about 5.30. By then the EU PSN will probably be choked with all the fake yank accounts :rofl:

Just seen the post about difficulty levels, Elite doesn't sound hard at all if thats the only changes. I play like that already on most FPS :laugh:

Yeah, most console FPS games with their generous "auto-aim" ;)

Well they also change health and damage modifiers etc, just taking away the Hud wouldn't really change much, lol.

Though How do we know how much ammo we have? or is there a display on the gun. O.o

I'm guessing you maybe don't?

In real life you wouldn't know :p

We'll see...

Wtf, you guys don't even listen to how many bullets you're firing in games? Pfft, noobs lol

I don't keep exact count, but I know when I'm low and if I have enough to get one more kill before a reload. I even bug AJ to reload on WaW :laugh:

Oh man can't wait to take you PS3 gamers on :p

Depends on the game, I can usually tell automatically, though that depends on if I have played the game before a good bit and how many kills I would usually get compared to difficulty etc.

Though I usually just reload after killing a bunch of enemies just in case I run into a bunch I didn't expect and am stuck reloading.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
