Killzone 2 (PS3)

Re: Killzone 2 (PS3)

Things that stood out to me so far...
1) Weather has an impact on the way you throw grenades and how you even walk.
2) Bots are implemented in multiplayer games. (I Love that Feature)

Weather effects are pretty cool. I could see it now, cooking a grenade and throwing it over and having a wind storm come and throw it right back in your face.

Has anyone seen or heard anything about split screen in this game? I doubt it but you never know.

I am almost certain there is split screen offline, I don't know about online if that's what you are referring to.

I hope they have online co-op as well which is a great option to have available.

Bots in multiplayer is cool as well.

First day buy for me...

Re: Killzone 2 (PS3)

I'm pretty sure the campaign is one person only. Typical online multiplayer, but no co-op campaign ala Gears.

Re: Killzone 2 (PS3)

Really? Damn that is a shame.

I guess i thought because you were fighting in a group from most footage i had seen then it would be relatively simple to put in the online co-op mode. Guess i was wrong.

There is no split-screen of any kind either.

We're not allowed to post GamePro's official review just yet, but I will say that our review falls right in line with PTOM's. You can read it in GamePro's March issue, which hits newsstands in early February (subscribers should be getting that issue much sooner), or read it online February 2nd. Personally, I didn't review the game, but it's a f-ing epic shooter. My only qualm is with the lagged look sensitivity, which is usually a cover up for poor framerates. However, once you get used to the sluggish feel you'll be mowing down Helghast with ease.

IGN

As for the game itself, expect IGN's own review within the next few weeks – and rest assured, it's a bit special.

I know man. I haven't been this pumped about a game since MGS4.

Haha, it will be the longest few weeks of my life.

That is WEAK. I like playing with a few of my friends on the split screen. So this is strictly a one player game (besides online)?

My understanding based on the developer Q & A's over on the PS forum. The tech that they are using that couldn't afford the resources to do co-op. Streaming textures, with all its asking the PS3 at this stage they couldn't get it done. Got to remember the reason this game was in dev so long is most of its R & D for future titles and sharing tech, PS3 is basically alien architecture to developers right now.

Re: Killzone 2 (PS3)

Just got the demo code today. Probably been answered before but, is the demo single player or multiplayer?

Damn. This had better be ridiculously powerful if it can't run co-op. I'm still extremely excited, but this tampered that a bit. Not a huge deal, but kind of an annoyance.
