OUCH DAT WAS SUM SERIOUS PWNAGE

btw KZ2 demo BAAAADDDD rel short no multiplayer tho was lookin forward to dat since i wanted to beast d beta more but didnt get a chance too

[woodyear99]

Just wondering has anyone here had their PS3 fail on them recently?

[Eroo]

How about some Killzone 2 demo impressions. I'll start with my nitpicks first.

1. The graphics while pretty good are not OMFG. Honestly IMO Resident Evil 5 on Xbox 360 and Gears 2 look better.
2. I've never liked the 2 gun system but its a bit worse here as you cant swap out your pistol, it gives the feeling that you really only have one useful gun. So if you pick up a sniper rifle be prepared that for any close shootout you have to use the pistol.

The Good

1. Killing feels GREAT. It's hard to explain but shooting enemies with the rifle has a real feeling of impact. Bullets leaves holes in just about everything and enemies really look like they feel the shots.
2. AI seems pretty good. There are many instances where my squad without my interaction provided cover or just wiped out a good deal of enemies. The AI learns where you are from your shots and will try to flank you or flush you out with grenades. They'll even rush you if close and try to melee. Whats more both your teammates and enemies will use the cover system and blindfire if they have a general direction.
3. Cover system takes some getting used to but is really helpful.
4. Some objectives can be completed in different ways. The first part where you have to eliminate the resistance on the bridge I ran from cover to cover and got the missile launcher and destroyed the bridge. The second time I stayed further back and carefully aimed for the explosives to blow up the bridge. The third I stayed even further  back and eliminated all the targets with headshots. I didn't even have to destroy the bridge.
5. The demo is short, real short but I've played it over and over. It reminds me in a way of one of my favourite PS2 games - Metal Gear Solid 3. I would play it over and over almost like a toy cuz it was so much fun.

Really I thought the graphics were supposed to be OMFG lol

[AR!Ø]

Oh wow, an FPS that feels like MGS? Now you've piqued my inerest.

Just to clarify it doesn't play anything like MGS it just is as fun to play as MGS.

agree with #2 disagree with #1 since i've played Gears 2 already
well to be fair d pistol got unlimited ammo lol
 
in terms of multiplayer doh think u go see much snipers (an d ones u wud see will b d sick men, u unlock sniper at general rank) since, goin on wat d devs described, sniping in this game really takes steady hands literally since it uses d sixaxis an nearby explosions etc will throw off yuh aim
also in multiplayer it forces u too get good with all guns since if u run out of ammo wit yuh main gun an swap out wit one u find on d ground u got 2 options
1. Get good with d gun
2. Die and respawn

2 gun system better imo since u really doh wah nobody running around wit all d weapons in d game but i agree u shud b able to drop d pistol but it doesn't bother me much

[TheApprentice]

Well in Call of Duty, I love starting a match with a rifle, find another gun on the floor and swap with pistol.
So when I run out of ammo on one, do the switch... = plenty kills.

Its a bummer that you couldn't swap the pistol but I guess its real.
You can't "really" walk/run around with two big guns.

As for the graphics....it was amaaazing.
You played on an LCD Eroo? or SDTV.
I find Killzone 2 looked alot better than most games...possible best looking on console.
It uses alot of blur effects and textures not present in Gears and Resident Evil.
So it could just be a visual preference?

[Eroo]

Yup played it on an hdtv. Perhaps the 360's main advantage is that their games have more anti aliasing, I don't think the PS3 has built in hardware support for AA so it has to be done in software.

The game that really looks to be the next big thing in graphics imo is Uncharted 2.

ISA assault rifle is d best find d recoil on d Helghast assault rifle brutal
i feel most ppl would b using d ISA assualt rifle in multiplayer depending on how useful d SMG is wen u unlock it
