Q&A: Killzone 2 devs on meeting the hype

Got it yesterday, played it for about 2 hours so far. Kicks ass and the AI is very impressive. They change position as you try to flank them, they use grenades, blind fire at you and try and suppress. Good fun. Still.... it amazes me that G-spot still haven't done a review on it yet... they are falling behind other gaming sites.

we haven't seen and done everything there is still alot of ideas floating around that haven't been done

Alright, well now I'm going to have to buy a PS3 =D all ways wanted one anyway. The animation/graphics look fantastic, thanks for the awesome game!

Gotta say, I fired up the demo and immediately had to put down the controller and call a friend. I kinda figured, before the demo, like, yeah... I might get Killzone 2. I had no idea. This game seriously could be a system seller. And from what I understand, the finished product looks even better, as the demo is old. I can't imagine anyone playing this demo and not wanting to at least see the finished product. This is not even making the PS3 break a sweat, people. These are the kinds of games we need more of. It can never live up to the hype surrounding it (hell, nothing can these days, we've seen and done everything), but it still looks to be one hell of a ride.

I'm definitely going to buy this. I really enjoyed the demo. I hope the online is solid and fun, then I'll be addicted.

its impossible to live up to the hype. Not downing the hard work that was put into it, but humans are never happy unless it makes them money for nothing...

I liked the first Killzone , so this is already a win win situation for me

Its not as flash as you guys think in terms of textures/graphics..its very nice solid game but nothing new..not very organic..BUT i hope the levels are different and more eye catching..as the demo level was well just plain. But about time there is a ps3 game that is nice to look at. I think street Fighter 4 is the game at the moment and Res evil to come. I just hope the levels are all different and not a repeat like Fear 2 or Doom.

will it live up to the fake trailer?

Played the demo and its amazing on a huge television and 5.1 train wrecking sound. When the guy catches on fire its such a sad thing to see because it sounds so real. I play the demo nearly daily and eagerly waiting for Friday. I'm looking forward to the single-player campaign the most. I'm not really an online buff and also because I bet there will be a lot of annoying people online when the game comes out.

Proboally wont get this game for a while im gonna be to busy playing street fighter4

What? Can't comment on the DLC at all?? Oh you suck. J/k you made KZ 2 so I can't hate you.

i said a comment on bottom of this and i will repeat it. there would have been no expecations if sony haddnt pandered a full motion video sequence as 'in game footage' back in 05. demo was pretty but just diddnt scratch the itch that expectation back then built. i will get the game, make no mistake, but it isnt what i would call a 'buy on launch at full retail price title' its a 'wait for as long as it takes for it to drop fully in price title'.

god i can't wait, lol. to bad the demo was short as fuk just got me more hyped up hahaha

I'll wait for the review, after buying street fighter 4, i don't know if i want to spend another $60.00+ on a game, especially with Resident evil around the corner. . hopefully it will be good, god know i need to stop playing CoD4!!

I played the demo and it was pure eye candy. May it deliver on it's promise. I would also like to have Co-Op so I hope that is set for a future DLC. That is all I do in Resistance 2, I haven't played the campaign or the competitive. I will hold off on buying this game right away though. I want to hear more feedback from fellow gamers and friends first.

I still havn't played the demo yet because I don't have it preordered. I honestly can't wait to play it, but only the hype got me interested in this game and I'm hoping not that many people will let the hype get to them in a bad way that will ruin the game once they play it, but again I can't help but be excited. I'll see what the community thinks of this game before I do.

Only four days left. Its finally coming. hell ya it will live up to the hype. Just play the demo. Ya that was just the demo and it was fantastic. Also seems as if my entire union is in here commenting lol.

I can't wait!!! 4 days left!

Cant wait for this game. Seems really great. I did not have a chance to play the demo though. sadface :cry:

Can't wait for the game, it's almost here!!

I can't wait!

Gonna rent it first. Hope I am wrong when I say I think this game is gonna be more about the eye candy and less about game play. After seeing several game play videos I am on the fence with it. If I judge this one based on the first Killzone, I would give my 60 bucks to a homeless person first. And if you can post a comment here, you are not homeless so don't ask ; )

To be honest I wasn't really impressed by the demo. It made me cancel my preorder actually. It just didn't really feel right to me, like they tried to be a little to real, anyway it's hard to explain. I still plan to get the game, but I'm going to have to rent this one before I consider a purchase. And to all of you saying that all the PS3 has at this moment is MGS4, you need to widen your search, but most of my games are for the 360, so yeah.

I`d take a bullet for this game. I can`t wait to play it.

I simply cannot wait. Well, actually, I CAN wait; but I really don't want to. and SUL6AN, the online never works? ... you truly are a FOOL

ppl i have the full game and its coooooooooooooooooooooool but the online never work add me sul6an_the_fool

Sendmn23, I absolutely agree with you, I am also excited for a good reason to fire up my ps3. Mgs4 was the first time I was glad to be a ps3 owneer and come Friday I'll be really happy.

"As soon as the game hits and we see what people really like, what they want more of, we'll try and incorporate that into our DLC plans." One thing for sure everyone will like is that the DLC is free, you can take my word for that.

no install to HD required ? awesome console graphics ? awesome control ? awesome effects and sound ? want more?

berkeley Easily works as a contendar for Game of the Year 2009! ------------------ I'd have to agree. While I don't think the game has any new innovative features that will make it the next FPS standard, the visuals and overall experience should make this game a true GOTY contender and system seller as well.

Yes Finaly a reason to fire up my playstation 3 other than a blu-ray movie!!! "Just for saying that just watch how many thumbs down I'm going to get." I don't care though I'm happy to play an awesome Playstation 3 game other than Metal Gear Solid!

The demo looked awesome!! Can't wait to play the full game!! PS3 rules!

Well, based on the review scores it has received, it's definitely met, if not exceeded, the hype! 4 more days!!!!!

for the record, the wii's controls for a shooter/platformer like metroid are TERIFFIC. I hope they're just as good for the Conduit...

DLC!!! DLC!!! D L C!!!!!!!! :D Oh I'm so happy. I really hope that there will be like a map pack as well as a full co-op mode. Ah, heaven could soon arrive (IN 3 DAYS!!!)

Personally, I'm tired of all the griping about which control layout is best for FPS. It's all in personal taste and what you're used to. I like the paralell stick most, mouse-and-keyboard as a second choice, and offset stick the least. I haven't tried a FPS with the Wii's motion control, so on that I have no opinion. Of the offset stick designs, I've only used the GameCube and origional XBox. Nintendo I liked, Microsoft I hated. But this is all in my own taste, and has no bearing on anyone else's playing prefference. I poke fun of 360 users from time to time (I honestly don't like the harware), but only in good fun. As for fanboy wars, maybe we should all remember that we're all gamers first, and loyalty to your console should come second to that.

4 more days!!!!

Easily works as a contendar for Game of the Year 2009!

Damn right V-dubs this game met the hype big time judging by what i experienced in the demo!

Actually PS controller works quite well for FPS, it seems odd at first specially after playing a 360 game but it really does work just fine, once you play for a good 10 minutes or so. Don't worry GreatEye you get used to it bro, just give it a shot! =]

Played the demo so much and it was great! I can't wait to get the full game this weekend! I especially want to play the multiplayer!

Might get a ps3 for this, when the price of the system comes down in a year or so. Looks like a really good game and I hear the online side is pretty deep and lets face it - it has to be, if it's gonna compete with the likes of CoD and Halo. But the one thing that puts me off is the awful thumbstick layout on the PS controller; it just ain't built for solid fps handling, as the 360's is. The true test for this game will be for it to stay near the top of people Most Played lists, even in three years time, as is the excellent online aspect of Halo 3.

lol at bennae66. The demo lived up to all the hype for me. Played through it countless times. Cant wait to get my hands on the full game this week!

demo was alright but im not a fan of invisible walls. (in case your not sure what i mean in the demo as you look up to the helghast on the bridge, to your right is water and what appears to be a nice way around to avoid gunfire. oh no it isnt, its an invisible wall! my character does not have the capability to step around a knee high piece of minor debris despite the water being barely just over a foot deep) i also found it a matter of being herded very specifically in one direction with one path. maybe i diddnt play the game long enough? i have deleted the pretty demo. its certainly not up to 2005 'in game footage' but you know, it comes close to what we could achieve 4 years ago!

there never would have been expectations if sony haddnt played a full motion video pretending to be in game. sorry, but look inward.

Killzone 3 needs this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcZVlOPcbjU

of course fanboy talk is good, the more people speak of your game, the better. BTW I think a lot of the so called "fanboys" are just guys hired by some marketing department to create hype around a title, like all those "posts" about Saints Row 2 referring to GTA4 which were just a way for SR2 to gain some of the hype around GTA4.

well when i saw the vids for game i thought amazing! I got my brother to get ps3 for it,he did we played demo and im like oh not so good...it was ok but compared to xbox 360 standards of games it was OK? but ill wait and see for the full game,hopefully im wrong!

cant wait
