"Maybe I’m just spoiled by shooters with good, manageable control schemes on a console with a controller perfect for the genre (the Xbox360), but it’s 2009 - there is no excuse for a game that features so much gun-play to feel so stiff and unresponsive."
"I had to patch the game twice in the span of two days. What’s going on here? I half expect Sony to ban my PSN account after this review goes live. I wish I could say the patches made my experience more enjoyable. ...
i think we can all agree that patching this mess is useless. sell your game, throw it away. whatever.
its ingame pc version
anyone ever again complaining about sonys skus gets a slap in the face.

i wouldnt be suprised if they cancle it and come with a new one.
lazy i know what normals and what viewspace normals are, thanks.
but you can see the normal pass on page 11.
When calculating viewspace normals the normal maps are taken into the calculation.
dont try making me look like a fool ok ?
I pointed that out because people only believe what they see.
lol
its because GG chose a normal "normalmapping" approach, gears is totally over the top with pitchblack wrinkles and clothseams etc.
normals arent tat visible if your not constantly overshooting them, and like GG approached the lighting in killzone 2 wich mainly uses a "faked" global illu you cant see them that strong (wich is relaistic). only when a directional light is applyed (wich is mostly but far from the overnormaled look of gears).
gears is...
im not saiying killzone 2 aint using bakes, im just saying that the number of shadows real or not is dramaticly higher then any other game sofar.
well with one problem killzone 2 is also normal maped, with one difference and that is because of the ue3 engine.
killzone2s normal map is realistic, ue3 is overkill. im not saying its bad, i like it but its a different take on how to use normals. nothing else. but the author clearly shows how clueless he is by saying killzone 2 aint using normals.

Tahts the problem if you have no clue
"What's the power of the PS3 if you have to fake lighting effects"
killzone 2 is the ONLY game to render up to 300 realtime lights ( shadows), every other game is bound to a max of about 8 realtime lights the rest is baked of simple omni/direct lights that cant produce shadows etc.
the author is a liar.
he is no cg artist, everything he writes is made up out of assumptions,
hes a xbox fan trying to bring killzone2 down by saying he would be a professional, well he aint. nuff said.
That guy is no cg artist. end of story.
im also a cgi artist but this guys nitpicking is childish and unprofessional. If hes really in the industry he would know about all the things he nitpicks about.
games are realtime
cgi aint
nuff said if he cant draw a difference he's definatly no prefessional in my view.
all i can say is that guy is NO cgi artist, maybe a young wannabe but definatly no prefessional, couse if he would be one, like the rest of us professionals, he would admire killz...
"For me, I like playing SF4 online for free. And Killzone 2. And COD. You get my point:) "
Thats exactly the point, the only game i cant play online is gears, the rest i bought only for ps3 ever since i cancled live
nicely said, thats exactly what i meant. Ms earns enough money on each game and addon (and ms has tons of addons) sold, even more on L!VE purchases.

seariously your tone and what you write ....

"Free is the solution to everything though to kids or grown people with no jobs or jobs with not enough money to support their habits. Drug addicts want free drugs too."
are you really that short minded ?

"What I find funny is everyone that either can't afford it or wants to play on Live wants it to be free and then at the same time will say Live sucks."
Thats a very hars and insulting argument, firstly i can easily pay 10 times l!ve a month, but that doesnt smallen the fact that i regret paying for something that was free ever since.
I pay for my ISP, therefore any argument that i should pay for the permission to use my allready payed online connection is b...
absolutly
sonys pace at improving a free online server and a free 3d community is incredible, actually i tink people from al camps should start recognising this topnotch customer support.
the gameplay is exactly what makes killzone 2 stand out.
its new, its fresh, you feel the weight of the soldiers, the mp is incredible. killzone is awesome. its the first shooter in years that doesnt feel like a clone to me.
in fact they gave killzone 2 a unique and awesome feel to it.
