Preview: killzone 2 hands on

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=170864

"Believe the hype; Killzone 2 is the best looking game we've ever seen. Stunning facial animation, huge detailed environments and no loading screens what so ever - and the PS3 makes it look as easy as snapping a photo of Pete Doherty looking rough."

I guess we got a contender for GOTY 2008.

Haven't you Cows learned by now not to hype a game for its graphics?-Tretiak

LOL, sorry but this article is actually hyping it for it's gameplay.

"in feel, it plays similarly to the original Killzone"

"The AI seems to be a bit of hit and miss at this point"

"It looks amazingly next-gen, but to play Killzone at the moment feels very similar to its PS2 predecessor"

" The most exciting feature of the PS3 Killzone however is the new first-person cover system, which works a lot like Gears of War but without taking you out of the experience. Holding L2 latches you on to walls similar to Epic's shooter, then the left stick allows you to pop out with your gun and fire off a few shots. You can even blind fire with the R2 fire button; it's works very well and is even more visceral than the stuff in Gears."

"one of the encounters we experienced in our demo whiffed of that "cover shooter" gameplay as well; in one seen we darted easily from box to pillar with the sprint button, trying to flank around the side of a chaingun-toting mini-boss and shoot him in the back. It works flawlessly in first person, and should add some much needed variety to the Killzone formula.

Thankfully the real meat (that's the shooting) is an enjoyable venture as well. "

Oh boy, a cover system. Your quotes address one aspect of the game, mine cover the game as a whole, and right now they believe it to be previous-gen gameplay.

Didn't cows bash Gears for having a "revolutionary new cover system" and saying it was like killswitch? If cover is the most exciting thing in the game, I guess I'll pass.
