dwarf Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I don't usually pre-order because of the high prices, but If I see somewhere that lists it for £30 I'll probably lap it up.
Deathjam Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Actually, I just remembered that I plan to trade in a game for it. What game though, I am not sure...
dwarf Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Well I don't care too much for a special edition but trying to find out about it I learned instead that Europe will get this 2 days before US - 25th Feb
Daft Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Well I don't care too much for a special edition but trying to find out about it I learned instead that Europe will get this 2 days before US - 25th Feb Really? Awesome.
Daft Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Really awesome All right, shut it you. I'm actually really excited about this. I didn't think I could get too into online games unless it was a beta. I love the Halo 3, CoD4 and MGS4 Online Betas but when the games came out I didn't touch them. I have been playing Resistance 2 online, although I think I'm going to return that to get another rental, so I'm now looking for a good online game and this looks perfect. Does anyone else have this with Betas?
dwarf Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Well getting into a beta is a buzz and makes you feel cool for getting in it, but doing well at it seems a bit pointless. I've now found great enjoyment with Resistance 2 because I win quite a lot now and it is just brilliant.

Does anyone else have this with Betas? I'm kinda the same. Got into the R2 beta loved it and played it and tried to put time into the retail release. But there has been that much I just havn't had the time to invest in it enough. So much other stuff to play and then of course life to get on with lol! I am hoping though with Killzone being in a relative quiet patch, might find the time to really get into the online.
Dante Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Rumour OPM Review Killzone 2 - 5/5 "The buddies alongside you in each battle have been expertly tuned to provide just enough cover and support to actively get your back on occasions, while never making it feel like they could acchieve every objective alone." "...the believability and consistency are hallmarks of the Killzone 2 expereince. None of the circumstances, weapons you find, locations you visit, or frankly any of the details in the world feel arbitrary. The world is consistently realized in its unappealing flavor." "...filled with moments that can handily be described as inspiring awe" - bots in offline multiplayer "perform pretty well" "Without a doubt Killzone fans, action, and shooter fans of any stripe will isntantly tag this sequel as a powerful contender for teh best game of 2009"
Daft Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 What are OPM's scores usual like? I imagine pretty generous.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 What are OPM's scores usual like? I imagine pretty generous. Here's what some of their scores are. Also, before you go spitting out that it got these scores just because its a PS magazine, I suggest you look at the previous exclusives they have reviewed. Uncharted [80] Heavenly Sword [80] Warhawk [65] GT5P [80] MotorStorm: PR [60] Haze [50] Lair [50] Resistance 2 [80] MGS4 [100]
Daft Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Here's what some of their scores are. That's good. I agree with all those scores except maybe Uncharted. Probably would have given that a 90. I think it was slightly more than the sum of its pretty good parts. That's encouraging then. Damn Feb 25th is so far off.
MATtheHAT Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 You know, that happens alot. It would make so much sense if it was spelt one way but thanks to english, it's made that more complicated. Anyways, we are now totally oftopic so to get back on track, have people started pre-ordering this yet? Yep, along with Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5. Late Feb/early March has a few potentially fantastic games being released.
dwarf Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 FFS I get so annoyed when reviewers piss all over Motorstorm: PR. It is AWESOME. They really could not have made it much better! The tracks are insane, gives you great sense of speed and the crashes are brilliant. Sorry but the reviewers are arseholes. Just because it is a sequel it should not be marked down by that much, no way. It improves everything and has split-screen added... How can it possibly be lower? Grrrr!
Choze Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 No news on European preorder bonuses. The US bonuses are minor though and dont even need preorders realisticaly. The beta was amazing. In a sense this is Sony's first go at domination in the fps genre. Quality wise from what i have played its just nicer than anything out there. At Eurogamer expo the old uglier single player build dominated the show and drew crowds unlike any other game. Just look at the screens to see improvements. The amazing aspect is that this is from the same people who made Killzone 1! so I'm now looking for a good online game and this looks perfect. You wont be dissapointed. This will be the big PS3 online game when it comes out. Bye bye COD. Based on my experience nothing touches the multiplayer of killzone 2. The single player seemed fantastic as well from what i played. Its a very immersive and fun game. Rarely do you get this kind of polish in any game. MSPR is a great game. Agreed. Its not like your usual racer though. Alot of the media have no idea about racing games though. MSPR getting review scores lower than the new NFS is a joke.

Its the best fps i have played in a long long time in that regards Just to show you they are taking multiplayer very seriously: Online stats. Bear in mind the game doe snot have desfrutible environments. More like some limited destruction of objects and cover. In single player there is some destruction but its mainly for looks. Hope that makes sense. Also in multiplayer the class gameplay is key. Teams have to focus on their specialities and broaden their skills. When you first start off you only have a basic soldier and you have to unlock everything from entry to squads to medic badge and its abilities.

Choze Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 The online will be the crack of 2009. Unless COD5 or a new Battlefield does something special. Pics of review copy:
Daft Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 I hope there is something explaining the story so far because I'm a KillZone noob.
flameboy Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I hope there is something explaining the story so far because I'm a KillZone noob. same here.... I've been wondering with its release in a relatively quiet patch could this tempt people into buying a PS3, is it that good?
Choze Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I hope there is something explaining the story so far because I'm a KillZone noob. http://www.killzone.com/kz/storyline.psml There's more on the website in the news articles section. e.g http://www.killzone.com/kz/news.psml?kz_news_article=The+Exodus&kz_news_page=1 You dont have to know the story before Killzone 2 anyway.
LegoMan1031 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I hope there is something explaining the story so far because I'm a KillZone noob. Same for me also! Did anyone actually play the first one? lol
Choze Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Same for me also! Did anyone actually play the first one? lol I played the demo. Seemed iffy. Hard to see how this is the same team anymore. You can get the story of KZ1 in youtube, never played the full game though.
dwarf Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 The first one wasn't very good, the controls were shocking, and the level I played seemed repetitive and boring. However the guns were still pretty cool. That gif looks awesome! How can I use that in a post?
