Sony had the great idea to put the whole press conference from a few days ago online on the PSN, and you can count on me to rip as much stuff as possible from these videos. Let's start with this little game called Killzone 2.
I own all 3 consoles this gen and I despartely want some great exclusives to play on my PS3 but this is not one of them. Sadly the same thing is happening with this that happened with the original game, it was hyped up as a Halo beater and had great graphics for a PS2 game, and yet when it was released the truth was revealed, it was just yet another FPS. I fear it's the same case with this one and alot of people will end up feeling cheated or let down due to pinning their hopes on this game when there is no foundation to do so.
Just a word of warning guys.

Exactly !
This is the only game apart from Gran Turismo 5 this generation that looks CGI-like when even running and controlled(not in the cut-scene I mean). Gears of War's cutscenes looked really CGI like but runtime was not, very pretty but not CG like. The main reason was the excessive use of depth-of-field in Gears' cutscenes which was absent from the gameplay. In KZ2, that finesse is present throughout and it shows...
I don't wana burst your bubble, but this doesn't look remotely CGI like, nor does Gears for that matter.
Stop compairing it to CGI because its not even close and nobody should expect it to be, for those that are still bitter that Sony showed CGI way back in 06.... hmmm... time to get over it i think, its been 2 years.

it was '05 actually. Not that it really matters though. Also, yeah, who really cares if it looks like the CGI or not. It looks damn good either way, that's all that really matters.
I'm a bit worried though since they haven't talked about it much, but maybe that will come at E3. It would be nice if the beta kicked off alongside, or around the release of Home(no more delays). People running around with their special Killzone avatars(clothes) :p

Yeah, they're a bit hush hush about the whole thing indeed. E3...I don't know, seems a little early for a game releasing Q1 '09. I'm hoping it will be available somewhere in August/September.
I can't remember how long before release the COD4 and Halo 3 beta were...was it like 5 months or so?

Haha yeah, and I'll be walking around in my Gears clothes then, being chased by all the Killzone fanboys! j/k

thats the thing, if if you can approximate the graphics to some extent, the intensity of the cg trailer is just beyond anything released...
Not that it matters, I didnt even believe the trailer was real time when it came out. This looks more impressive than I expected...fantastic
3. The first Killzone and Kill.Switch were both out before Gears of War and Rainbow 6, why people are saying that Killzone copied either one is baffling and laughable... baffable?

Although I like Halo, it wasn't the "end all and be all" of FPS. They added a few things to the genre, but that's about all. The story is the best part about Halo IMO, but even every sci-fi element in Halo can be attributed to some writer or story that Halo blantantly ripped off
1. Chief looks like a Quake/Doom soldier
2. The Halo was ripped-off from Ringworld
3. The Covenant and it's religious leanings was ripped off from the Dominion from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
4. Chef's "last of his breed" is right from Luke Skywalker's plight as a Jedi.
5. The soldiers/Sarge were ripped-off from Aliens
6. The Elites are like Aliens with Predator's mouths and Wristblades

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

Can't wait for the beta!

Commented on 2008-05-11 05:53:551. There's a little game called "Kill.Switch" which Gears of War copied 95% of it's gameplay from (taking cover, blind-firing, 4 ways jumps, etc).

2. In the first Killzone, enemies had a cover system, and you could too, yours wasn't just a "sticky" cover system like Kill.Switch.
