Re: Killzone 2 (PS3)

Looks great! But what's the point of releasing all those gameplay clips that seem 100% done, if the game is 9 months away? It's like: "Here's the game, it's ready to play - just look at it! BUT u'll have to wait 9 more months!" (9 months to polish the game? c'mmon!!!)

Delay explained.

"To be clear, there is nothing wrong or causing a delay to the development of [Killzone 2]," said Eagle. "We had to look at the fall calendar with SOCOM, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, plus some PSN titles and make a decision where each game should come out. Killzone 2 was moved to Feb 2009 to make sure we didn’t have three shooters in the marketplace competing for retail dollars during the same holiday season.

"Hope this helps - a lot of times we gamers read delay and think something is wrong, in this case, it was a pure management decision."

EGM's August Issue Checks Out Killzone 2

For all its hype, graphically stunning PS3 first-person shooter Killzone 2 has been something of a mystery since its infamous E3 2005 debut. But in the August issue of EGM -- shipping to subscribers now -- we finally take a look behind the curtain at exactly what this game will offer. In our massive 12-page cover story, Shane Bettenhausen gets to try the game out and is surprised at what he discovers.

Before jumping into the new game, we've got a round-up of the story and characters from the previous two Killzone titles, so you don't need to be left behind if you never played them. In addition to discussing the general shooting gameplay, we also had the first chance to play with vehicular combat via a powerful tank that will be at the player's disposal for certain sections of the game. And that's not all for weaponry -- we also compare the guns and equipment of the ISA (i.e. the good guys) and the Helghast (i.e. the bad guys).

On top of our hands-on time with the game, we also interview Guerilla Games and get their thoughts on the original controversial trailer, the delay to 2009, and how they got stuck with the "Halo-killer" tag that they feel doesn't really stick. Guerilla managing director Hermen Hulst tell us, "Killzone's always been a very different beast than Halo. So none of us really wanted to make that comparison." Nevertheless, they're hoping to polish their second attempt at a major FPS release in this franchise to the point where it can compete with the big boys of the genre, including Call of Duty 4. Will they pull it off? Check out our preview and decide for yourself.

The August issue of EGM should be hitting subscribers in the coming days, and it will be available at newsstands soon.

Re: Killzone 2 (PS3)

As the latest Electronic Gaming Montly hits subscribers, details on the upcoming PS3 exclusive Killzone 2 are leaking onto the net. A few facts include Guerrilla's use of the Cell processor as well as background updates on a few of the returning characters from the Killzone universe.

According to the 12 page preview in EGM, Killzone 2 will be utilizing a whopping four and a half of the six cores in the Cell processor. For technically a first generation title (it's Guerrilla's first PS3 game), that's quite remarkable.

“Sony basically has an international forum for sharing character technology, animation tools and graphics shaders." said Guerrilla Games’ Technical Directer Michiel van der Leeuw. "We’ve even taken a few tricks directly from the Resistance guys at Insomniac, and we’ve even been talking directly to the God of War guys in Santa Monica."

Other details from the magazine preview:
- There will be more than just the Arc Cannon when it comes to Helgast weather-controlling weapons
- Don't expect all the levels to appear the same, some levels will highlight the "natural beauty" of Helghan
- Templar is now a Colonel and commands a Cruiser called New Sun

That is pretty impressive. 4 1/2 of the 6 especially this early of the life cycle. Graphically this game is looking mind blowing. Hopefully the gameplay is as well.

good to know, and about 6% of the 99% are worth purchasing. i just wanted to know what makes this game deserving to be in that 6%.

We won't know that until it comes out. So far though it looks like a game with solid gameplay and is a visual treat.

Graphically, this game is the best so far. Hopefully it comes through with gameplay as well.
