Do you mind posting in the 'omfg I have it' thread as it's becoming increasingly difficult deleting/closing/merging threads in this section

Agreed. Better idea.

Ars review is out, read (and inevitably rant) at your leisure

Quote:

In all, Killzone 2 has high production values, some of the best graphics yet seen on the PS3, and a solid take on the war-gaming genre. Many fans of either console will already have decided if this game is worth their $60, and such people will mostly have whatever they already believe justified by the experience. But if you haven't already made up your mind, my advice for you is to turn off the Internet, pick up a gun, and crank your sound system.

Verdict: Buy

Excellent review (apart from the wrong information about the promo discs) and refreshing to not find a number at the end.

catisfit · 13-02-2009, 4:30 PM

Ars have three "scores": Buy, Rent or Skip, and have done for some time.

Makes perfect sense to me, i've only ever been there when linked to an article and didn't realise they reviewed games

Only a Buy/10? That's outrageous! I demand a petition to make them change this travesty or reviewinghoodness

I agree, it should be a 'Buy NOW' at least. Not just a 'buy'.

"My advice is to turn off your internet, pick up a gun and crank up your sound system" !!!

This is not a good review for the American market

(IN MY OPINION!)

TEVEZ032 · 13-02-2009, 9:12 PM

I'll probably get killed for this but I'm still not 'pumped' for this release...
I have it on pre-order with shop-to and i'm in the clan, but I haven't seen a great deal in the demo or vids that makes me all excited.. I played 'that other shooter' to death, so hopefully i'll fit into the MP fine, but it all looks a bit bleak to me...

Ethan2000 · 13-02-2009, 9:24 PM

How dare you ! get out of this thread now.

Decadence1 · 13-02-2009, 10:54 PM

Some really nice themes/backgrounds here.

Unofficial Killzone 2 PS3 Theme

BenchyUK · 13-02-2009, 11:17 PM

I'm going to try and avoid anything killzone 2 between now and launch except the odd demo play through.

Sounds odd but it already feels like this game has been out for months

Impossible, see you soon

TeggDon · 14-02-2009, 2:25 AM

any plans for a clan?

The game has an excellent clan system. You can organise via pc, send updates etc. have a calendar. Its really good.

The multiplayer portion of thegame is what will really set this game apart based on my experience being addicted to the beta.

I think this is good advice; I think I've got KZ2 overload at the moment!

Once it lands on the mat I'm sure things will be just fine lol.

How are the classes, which one are you using.

Thanks for that. Screw watching videos, you can play the bloody game for yourself.

BTW what was that random hanging light around 2:15 into the first video.

You see how near the end of the third video a saboteur tries to creep up on the player but is met with a shotgun headshot as soon as the player realises he's not on his side. Great. The shotty sure does look powerful. Will be great for tight corridors.

TeggDon · 14-02-2009, 4:03 PM

shotty = one hit kill most of the time.

Zeromajor · 14-02-2009, 5:21 PM

Not sure if this has been posted yet but thesixthaxis's review went up:

Review: Killzone 2*|*TheSixthAxis

One of the best so far imo, not scoring the multiplayer yet is the right thing to do - and I enjoyed the section on the sound design, it went into more detail than anyone else would've bothereed to.

Tall_Paul · 14-02-2009, 6:53 PM

More good news, DLC to come "very shortly" after launch

chowyunfatt · 14-02-2009, 7:33 PM

Just from having them on my team i can already tell that the dude who seems to be mostly invisible is going to be really popular, he looks great, like the preadator from the Arnie film when he moves. Also the player that can assume the shape of one of the enemy players is going to be deadly. So many times already i’ve seen one of them guys just wonder into my base un-noticed and its not until you put your cross hair on them that they flicker between their enemy form and the form they have stolen from one of your team members.

A snippet from another forum, sounds good.

COOPERMAN · 14-02-2009, 7:39 PM

So when the clan matches kick off, the trigger happy people (me) will be shooting our team mates as we won't know who's who!

Well until we get them in our cross hair sights

With proximity chat you could walk right up to a enemy disguised as their team mate and shout, behind you! as he thinks your on his team he then turns his back on you and boom, head shot.
