It will be Sony's Halo......2008 is just a preview for 2009

wait so KZ2 uses Motion controls for sniping??? Now thats innovation. I hope it works rather well.

Killzone is the sh*t, I've bought so many games this past month and I've had more fun on the free beta than all of those games. It's slowing my trophy count lol...but the fun factor i've been having has been well worth it

The snipers look AWESOME!!! Possibly another AAA shooter for the PS3.

The feedback from those who have tried K2 is really positive so far.

Cant wait for the full game, wooo February!

PLAYSTATION®3規格ソフトウェアのゲー ム 中にXMB™

Take it easy i was only joking i'm sure Killzone 2 will be a great game one day.

I'm in the beta. There isn't enough hype for this game. Trust me.

From my understanding a multiplayer online game doesn't have graphics like a single player game from the disc and it will be interesting to see the full graphic display from the single player.

is.. the badass of my big 3 as i have stated before, resistance 2 = bigger, gears of wars 2=better and killzone 2=badass.

man im so enjoying this generation, of gaming.

Please tell me the controller options allow the use of L1 for "aim down sight" PLEASE say it's not click down on analog stick or something else.

This is VERY important to me. If you would be so kind and let me know.

I predict an average score ratio 7.8/10 for KZ2 and what I predict is a fact.

i really do hope and encourage everyone who is in the beta to please go to the forums and give feedback whether it positive or negative...especially the negative...let GG know what they can improve on...i know its obvious that they wont listen to every single thing but at least they can have that feedback and try to make the full retail version just they way you, the gamer, want it so please everyone give feedback to GG so they can help improve on what is already shaping up to be one the best shooters of this generation

ReTarDedFisHy can't block out the voices from his friends saying how awesome the beta is ;{

COD got it perfect. It's the most intuitive setup I've ever used. L1 ADS and R1 fire. The rest of it I can adapt to. Just give me those two and I would be happy.

because I received a beta invite from Sony a couple days ago. I thought it was just in Europe.

That you actually feel like a soldier.

Reminds me of Resistance. I do love the game, very much, playing it right now, but I just can't get over the fact that sometimes when you back up, you'll climb over a rock, and never know it until you either see the rock or are dead.

I'm loving that bit about the sniper though, makes it seem that much more realistic.

2009

Im curious on what 360 fans will say when.. 1. Killzone will have the best graphics in Console history. 2. The online will be more fun and addicting than COD4 (a multi).. 3. It becomes one of the most highest rated games in history, giving Ps3 2 of the top 3 of all time.. (GTA4 is multi) so I guess.. Giving PS3.. 2.5 of top 3 of all time..

What do 360 fans do then.. Wait another 2 years for Gears 3 or Halo wars?? The 2 series console which is 360.. Their fans will be waiting again..

ok, can someone tell me how you get into the beta. i have not had any email or anything. checked on psn store, its not up.

id love to get into this game.

please report all pp's posts as spam and take away his bubbles please. Same goes for Sony Defence Farce, Giant Enemy Loser, Giant Enemy Crab, The Unwanted Truth, Jack "The Wanker" Who and Grimlock.

and i am seriously impressed with this game.

naturally, the graphics astound, especially in HD. it honestly is the best-looking console game in it's genre bar none (i'd say the best looking console game this generation, but i don't think that would be true, as art design is vital. KZ has FANTASTIC art design, though).

the controls are smooth, and it's interesting if you've played Resistance 2, because your character moves so quickly, whereas in KZ 2, the character feels like they have a weight to them. when you're moving or sprinting, you can almost feel all the armor and weapons they have on their back. it's not a floaty game in the least.

the weapons feels good, also. "REAL" for lack of a better term.

in fact, the whole game just feels real. it's more in line with Call of Duty 4 than Halo (i'd say Resistance 2 is more in the Halo category than KZ2). the environments feel lived in and real. wires sway in the breeze, off in the distance you can hear the sounds of battle. dust floats around. it's all very immersive. i'd go so far as to say it's one of the most immersive environments i've encountered in a game (although Heavy Rain is looking to take that crown next year).

being tactical is most certainly rewarded in the game (god, the group i was playing with last night got utterly RAPED by this team that was just on the ball with their strategy), but it's not necessarily a requirement.

like most of these betas, the only thing i wish is that more people had headsets.

the game is fun, and addicting, and remember, i'm a single player gamer at heart, so to be so thoroughly sucked into MP games like KZ2 and Resistance 2 is surprising to me. it's not like i've never played MP games before (me and the guys at Activision would kill HOURS after work playing the original Halo), i just never regularly played it. since picking up R2, and getting into the KZ2 beta, i've been playing online almost every day.

they're just fun games. period.

i honestly don't have any complaints about KZ2 gameplay. i do wish i could fully customize my controls however. i found a preset that works really well for me, but i'd still like to rearrange a button or two, just to REALLY get it to how i want it. brilliant game.

i think many doubters are going to be silenced when KZ2 hits next February.

of course, stalwart PS3 haters like kotaku and joystiq will still nitpick the title to death (see kotaku's R2 review for a hint of what's to come for KZ2).

There's no FPS out that's similar to this one. Everything about this game feels different. There's no game in the world that reminded me of Killzone 2. It really separates itself from the rest. The graphics are pretty damn amazing. You can just feel the weight on the player and their gun. It's crazy. I didn't experience any lag at all online as well.

R1 to shoot. I think it's R3 to aim, can't remember. Aint played it in last two days. However the medics are awesome. chane to medic kit via directional pad. Throw boms with either secondary fire. It's relly cool.

Only EU got in like me. I give ffeedback as well so it was well worth it.

Look. The multiplayer graphics doesnt show no lowered quality from Single player even with 32 players. This is just the online aspect of the game. The single player will be much, much better and refined.

GG best Devs on PS3 to date.

i hopr K2 gets a meta score of at east 95. It deserves it but since it's a PS3 exclusive and a FPS it'll get a 93 at best. Eurogamer and Gamespot. Variety will give it a 75.

What I've played of the beta so far I've loved. Game looks extremely realistic and unique. The only gripe that I would have to say so far is that it feels like you die a little too often. Although it adds to the realism, it kind of sucked having to spawn from the beginning each time after only being shot a few times. It's also kind of hard for me to control since I've never really played shooters on the PS3, I usually get shooters for Xbox 360. It will just take a little getting used to I imagine. I do love you game so far though, and can't wait for it to ship next year.

And those griping about KZ1 - I still think it is one of the best shooters out still. I like it more than COD4 or Army of Two to be honest. Still play it on the PS3.

Won't be getting to play anything at the moment - just got LBP - and the kids are going bananas at the moment. Especially the two younger ones.

Well... R2 for me this holiday... and then on to KZ2. Now if they only would bring out another "The Getway", then Sony has brought everything I was expecting from this gen so far...

Another Jak & Daxter won't hurt either...

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
