Killzone 2 showing straight after MS E3 Keynote, July 10th

[Timstuff]

As Zenien said, all developers touch up screenshots in Photoshop to a degree.

 

[Purple Prancer]

Oh ****, really? I'm glad you said it. I didn't understand her before

I hope this is false

From around September or October, the PS3 will move into top gear: that’s when Killzone 2 will arrive, to truly take first-person shooters into the next-gen era. And – more excitingly in my book – when LittleBigPlanet – will arrive. Again, LBP will provide an unknown gameplay experience – firstly, because it is so unlike any other game and, secondly, because it will be up to us to define the gameplay. As the new video of LBP shows, it’s going to look amazing – we’ll get the whole low-down from developer Media Molecule next year (currently, they’ve got their heads down and are cracking on with finishing it).

I don't think I could wait until October to play this game, I think we've waited long enough.

Then here is the ultimate Killzone 2 wish list.

I bet by the end of the wish list you're going to think I wrote it.

Uh, PS3 was supposed to move into top gear when Lair came out. Then it was Heavenly Sword. Then it was Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted. You know what? They didn't do the job and either will Killzone 2. Once that game fails, you'll be saying "Any day now, this system will put out a good exclusive". Keep waiting.

 

[Zenien]

Rule 34: Sales don't always equal quality. You're basically saying 'OMG Sony's first party hasn't been selling well and a game can't be good unless it has sold over a certain threshold'.

Actually no one has really been saying that anything will kick the PS3 into Gear except price drops. It could have the 360 lineup and still be hamstrung because of how unreasonable the price has been.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Reviews equal quality. And those games weren't exactly abundant there either.

 

[Zenien]

Heavenly Sword 81%
Motorstorm 82.6%
Warhawk 84.2%
Ratchet and Clank 88.8%
Uncharted 89.8%

Yeah they haven't been getting very many good reviews at all. I think that covers every first party that isn't Lair.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Let me know when they break 90%, something your-so-called-"awful" Ninja Gaiden can do.

And where's Lair on that list?

 

[Zenien]

Lair was disowned into the depths of failed franchise hell.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

If Killzone and Warhawk can get a sequel, so can Lair.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

heavenly sword sucked.

racthet and clank is solid..more enjoyable then mario galaxy.

uncharted rocks.

I'd say it was safe to say the PS3's really kicked it up a notch now. There's now denying this has been a really crappy year for the system, with about 10 or so worthwhile games, most of them being better on the 360. But Ratchet, Uncharted, and CoD4 show that drought ending I think, and 08 is going to be great for both systems.

Oh and I'm glad Killzone 2 will be out in October, I've got plenty to keep me going until then.

Ninja Gaiden did really well on PS3 - 88%

Usually we take rumors lightly, but this one supposedly came from the Official PlayStation Magazine(UK?). A forum member at Killzone.com claims to have gotten his hands on the latest OPM- issue number 14 which contains some interesting snippets regarding Killzone 2.

• Killzone 2 also promises the inclusion of player-controlled vehicles
• Public beta test in mid `08
•”We asked deJonge to tell us a secret, “As you know,they[Helghast] are not the only inhabitants.” He won’t be drawn on whether those ‘other’ alien inhabitants are friendly or not.

This isn’t from the North American OPM publication, as we’ve already gotten our hands on the latest issue. We want to know more and we’ll let you know if there’s any truth to this as soon as possible. Stay Tuned!

Every PS3 first party game must now follow the formula of pitting 2 sides against eachother and then revealling a third faction.

Note the giant colossus destroying th city in the background.

That looks pretty cool.

What the klizzy?

Is that picture from Killzone 2? That looks pretty intense.

P.S.

Were you being sarcastic about the whole 2 sides vs a 3rd.

 

[Zenien]

Sort of.

Resistance: Human versus Chimera (Cloven are teased for Resistance 2)

Spoiler

Uncharted: Nathank Drake n Friends versus Mercenaries (endgame twist with the Spaniards attacking everyone)

Killzone 2: ISA vs Helghast (then 'something else' that inhabits the planet)

It's concept art for Killzone 2 yeah.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

LMAO

Yeah I guess thats true Zenien, I never really saw that.

I'm actually digging the whole other species on Helghan thats kind of a twist that I never really saw coming and I think could go in a direction that will soar the Killzone story to new heights of fame.

What do you think their purpose is going to be?

I also love the art direction for the Helgan soldiers, in Killzone 1 they were the same things over and over and over. But in this one they have diffrent helmets, some are decked out in armor, others have really tight robes.

I think this game is going to be the Playstation 3's system seller.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Cannon fodder.

 

[Timstuff]

WHF must think that the whole world is crazy. He's been acting like this year's Killzone 2 showing is like the Emperor's new clothes, and he's the only one that sees how absolutely abhorrent it was.

What did I do this time?

We need that .gif at GR.

You've lost your mind.
