that this game doesn't turn out to be with the likes of the flopped LAIR.

that's nice, gameplay semms great for now, the game is still months away anyway.

"You never leave the first-person view and most of the walls or objects you'll find yourself behind are destructible. "Hey no fair!" Such is life, kid, deal with it!" -nice

1up and Egm" so, how can we rate killzone 2 bad."
1up worker: that's kinda imposible sir, I think the lowest we can rate it is 8.5.
PSm" oh oh I found a way, In killzone 2 u can only have two weapons at a time, "
egm" yesssssssssss!!!!!!That drops it to 7,5"

With Lair the Xbots(and a handful of Nbots) at various review sites like EGM and 1Up were able to latch on to the tilt controls in Lair to get away with the score trashing.

With Heavenly Sword they have been less successful with game length as the excuse to drive the reviews down in to the 7 or 8 range.

The Xbot community is still struggling to find the review meme that they can use to drive KZ2's scores down into the 7s. At first it was trying to make up various 'graphics problems', that didn't last very long obviously. The 'bad AI' meme was going for awhile but I have to imagine Gurrilla is paying attention and is making a concerted effort to ensure every video has none of the usual AI bugs all games have before they ship.

There will be something, it's just a matter of what. EGM and 1Up will most likely lead the way with the excuses their fellow Xbots at other 'review' sites will use to trash KZ2. There is a tremendous amount of Xbot rage left over from the E3 amazing KZ2 unveiling. That rage has to go somewhere. Recently the Xbots at 1Up seem to be almost in a panic mode over their inability to get gamers to buy into their KZ2 FUD.

Can't wait, the game looks absolutely amazing.

Vehicles, aircraft, possible underwater, whatever the case, this cover system seems immersing especially that you don't know when or from where you'll get flanked.

That's an adrenaline rush if you ask me. Frustrating I can imagine, but dynamic and it should keep you on your toes.

if the world village rumour of online play is true...this will be revolutionary. Coupled with a great storyline (guaranteed by the KZ universe), amazing gameplay, stunning visuals (check), intelligent AI (theyve stated that that's one of their major focuses over the coming months) and differing environments (which they've stated they are tryin to achieve) imagine what kind of game this could be. I don't care if they delay it by a year, as long as they make it the best game they can, i'm all good.

Imagine those visuals....but in a jungle. Wow.

Look at that screen where the Helghast just got head shot. Some sick blood if you ask me.

even if the game loosk perfect, I would'nt be suprised if EGm or Ign or 1up would say: " nice game, but not all that as it was cracked up to be"

we can only hope we'll have more websites that rate fairly then biased.

Can't Wait!

ever made, it needs to be about gameplay before graphics. KZ1 was pretty, but awful, I bought a PS2 and several games fpr including KZ thinking it was good at all, and it wasn't. KZ2 doesn't need to achieve great graphics or great bodies falling to the ground, or even pretty blood, it needs to achieve great gameplay, nothing else. All the great games ever made all have one thing in common, even back to tetris, they all have great gameplay. If a game looks "average" but plays great, its a AAA title, but if the roles are reversed, the its AA at most.

its looking great, i can't wait till they start putting in the the good stuff, its clearly no where done

PROUD TO OWN A PS3!!!

great video,can't wait till actualy play the game

this game looks soo good .. AWESOME!

The game looks BRUTAL :D

the game looks f... amazing! i hope its the best game ever!

ummmm the only thing sony fanboys do is defend their system, in another website in g4 their is actually an army of 360 fanboys that come in and bash everything that talks abuot sony .

nobody is trying to downplay halo 3, sony fans are just mad that just maybe one of the most anticipated titles of 2008 may get cheated by a bunch of 360 fanboys.

it's just that it's not fair for the developers, they got extra pressure now.

cause the press is just waiting to obliterate killzone 2.

I`m definitely gaining faith in GG after this preview and the video from yesterday. The atmosphere in the environments and the blood in the trailer was awesome to say the least.

I guess the just a few questions remains: how will it play ?, how`s the multiplayer, is the fps stable (which it seems to be from the stuff shown so far), and is the AI good. Hope a honest preview of this will follow soon. Or a BETA ;)

don't care about reviewers. this game is AAAAAAAAA game 10/10, no questions.

And to the trash talkers out there... The original KZ was great. I played it on my PS3 again - and it plays even better than on the PS2. Still one of my favorite games. Bring it on with KZ2.

Killzone 2 does look great, just worrying about the gameplay. Also DemolitionX your one complete Sony fanboy. Have you played the game, all the single player, mutiplayer modes, online etc and its deserves a 10 out of 10?

Chill out masterchef you know this game is going to own FPS power rangers game called halo

Chill out masterchef you know this game is going to own FPS power rangers game called halo

sorry fanbois but halo is in the gutter, KZ2 will pwn all in the way

Halo is a great game, and it defined FPS for the consoles last generation. There are games that define their respective categories like VF, Zelda, God of War, etc.

We have very little info about Killzone, but I am excited to see what comes out of the money and time that have been invested in this IP. I think Halo 3 will be a very good game, wether it is very innovative or not. The game was very good before, I just didn't have any interest in the MS brand but that doesn't make the game bad.

FPS are hot right now, and Sony is looking for one in KZ2 to define their console. What is most interesting however is regardless of KZ2 being AA or AAA or whatever you would like to call it, all the R&D that has gone into this game will surface on other titles, and that in itself is good news. MS will put on a good show, but anyone who has followed the video game industry for any amount of time would be ill advised to count Sony out, I know MS isn't.

This game looks sick.....

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.
