That a game that has generated very little interest despite it's Halo setting is suddenly on everyone's wishlists.

I've sure today preorders are way up, I'm considering putting one down myself if I can afford it along with Killzone 2.

They were very generous with the demo though, tutorials + 2 missions + skirmish with multiplayer. The controls work great, visually the lighting and effects look very nice and I'm sure will look even better once we see a setting without...

I would still prefer some tuning on the aiming sensitivity.

Killzone 2 does have a very weighty, visceral feel which is great, but that shouldn't have as much of an effect on turning acceleration as it does.

My issue is the acceleration when starting to turn before it reaches its maximum turning speed. Basically, the acceleration is slower in regular view which some people may have mistakenly thought was the game being unresponsive or laggy - I didn't have a problem....

Someone found a glitch. Every game has glitches or bugs, but generally for more stable games you'll actually need to search for them like this one.

How is this even news?

It's just good we're getting a demo. Many first or second-party games for ps3 or 360 that are guaranteed to sell don't get demos, though this tends to affect MS's games more than Sony's.

DEMOS FOR NOTABLE MS OR SONY GAMES:
Crackdown
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
Halo Wars
Killzone 2
Ratchet and Clank: TOD
MGS4
MotorStorm 1 & 2
Warhawk

DEMOS THAT SHOULD EXIST
Resistance 2
Halo 3
Gears of War 2

that any site that gives Killzone 2 9+/10 is a good site and any that give it below are fanboys or examples of terrible journalism.

Every considered some might be right?

After all, it's not like you own the game. They've played it, you haven't. I'd say that makes their views more credible than anyone in any of these Killzone 2 threads at the moment.

Can't wait for it on launch day, but who knows, I might find it the greatest game ever or the worst pile o...

Please everyone stop dictating which reviews are 'right' or 'wrong'.

You haven't played the finished game, so stop pretending like you have and declaring certain reviewers fanboys. So what if it scored lower than Halo 3. It may well be. You don't know yet because you haven't played it. After February 25-27 feel free to express your opinion but at the moment many of you are criticising sites for their reviews based off how good the game is IN YOUR MIND.

I'll be look...

Just wondering, how can you guys claim the reviewer is wrong? You haven't played the entire game. At best some of your have tried the beta. How do you know that it's not frustrating to keep needing to revive your teammates but they ignore you dying.

I'd just like to point out to some of the people in these Killzone 2 article comments that YOU DON'T OWN THE GAME YET. Please stop saying what's right or wrong or whether K2 is better than any other game, because you have no clue yet ...

Will be released on Australian PS Store on the 5th too? There's no shops here with demo codes or anything.

By the way, how do you create a PSN account for other regions? Just select different country when creating profile?

if every game is killing another.

Seriously, could you imagine if Halo was a person? He'd be stalked down every street by psychotic killers such as Mr Half-Life and Mr Killzone.

But I think the main point the article was trying to get at is just because a new game that tops the genre comes out it doesn't instantly degrade every other title to crapness.

If Killzone 2 comes out and is better than Halo 3, does that make Halo 3 any less fun? No. It just mea...

Remember, this is a REVIEW, which means it's the reviewer's opinion.

It's fine to disagree, but remember this is his personal opinion and everyone is entitled to like or dislike any game.

After all, Halo 3 got a fantastic metascore but I know not everyone loved it. Similarly, GTA4 still has one of the best ever metascores yet I was very underwhelmed with it.

Just remember you're not forced to agree with him and if he didn't like the game that doesn't mea...

Microsoft does do an amazing job promoting their games.

Here in Australia we don't really see many commercials for games on TV or in cinemas, but EVERYONE saw the Gears 1 and 2 ads at some point and EVERYONE was aware of Halo 3 even if they didn't play games or had no clue what Halo was, they'd heard of this big 'thing' called Halo 3.

At the moment Sony still seems to be in the phase of advertising the PS3 console, with less focus on marketing the actual games. It's ...

This is good news.

In the original trailer thread, people were saying how great and amazing the trailer was, but if anyone saw my post I was wondering why the music sounded like it was just done on a fancy keyboard, and that if I wasn't aware of Killzone 2 the trailer wouldn't excite me at all.

I preferred Halo 3's superbowl ad, despite Halo 3's being prerendered because it caught your attention and just screamed 'epic!' no matter if you'd heard of Halo before. The ...

Love the end of the update, as usual someone desperate for Recon armour but stupidest way of asking for it yet!

But my point was if you simply buy the games and things that you think are good the sales will take care of themselves - if lots of people think a console or game is good, they'll buy it and the manufacturer or developer will have money to buy more.

But simply following sales numbers (since the only people who follow it are people who already own consoles) doesn't achieve anything.

Wow, the ps3 sales are increasing! Now Killzone 2 will be good, because after all if ps3 sales were lower Killzone 2 and other exclusives would instantly melt into piles of crap.

Who cares about sales? Just enjoy buying and playing games on any console and the sales will take care of themselves.

Seriously, these articles make it seem as if a console selling badly translates into a bad console or bad games, where low sales somehow affect your enjoyment of your consol...

I actually don't mind the prototypes!

You can see how you'd navigate in the main menu - the sections are lined up behind and above eachother as if they're in a complete loop with the camera on the bottom inside staring along the curving side. Navigation would probably work the same way as the current NXE - press up to scroll to next section.

It does give a totally different "feel" though, one perhaps too close to Sony's chosen PS3 menu feel of 'minimalist, ...

The trailer didn't really excite me for the game. =S I'm really looking forward to K2 but if I didn't know much about it that trailer wouldn't do much for me.

Was it just me or did the music sound very artificial, like it was just done on a fancy keyboard?

I personally preferred Halo 3's superbowl commercial despite it being pre-rendered, it grabbed your attention and reeked of 'epic'.

Ah well. Commercials don't make the game, and I can't wait for K2!
