Just finished playing it and I thought it was great. I have to agree with some other people though after playing Resident Evil 5 I didn't think the visuals were all that amazing. You have to take into account though that in Killzone 2 more things are going on on screen. I am sure other parts of the game will look better but Resident Evil 5 is no slouch either. I don't get what people meant when they said they had trouble when holding down cover(L2) and trying to zoom(R3) at the same time. I like the alternate 2 controls better then the standard. When in cover all you do is tap zoom to line up iron site and then you can tap cover again to go back it to hiding. It works out perfectly. I am totally used to the control scheme now.jakarai

[QUOTE="tOtalPWNaAe"] yeah like the late APB said you got killzowned ******:lol:Malta_1980

did you find the atmosphere in KZ2 to be terrific... it really makes you believe you're in the middle of a huge conflict/war... great stuff :p

[QUOTE="Eyezonmii"] Funny thing is, the K2 pic looks better, IMO. tOtalPWNaAe

i was expecting this to happen, its not easy for haters to see they've been badly owned by KZ2.. all of them were 500.99% convinced it would flop and not deliver on the famous E3 trailer..

In the end KZ2 ended up being visually the best game on consoles (currently), has a good sp campaign, solid gameplay and a massive online (though no co-op)... Reviews coming from important sources have been positive and giving great scores, so what else do haters have left... they just try to nit-pick and utilise the saddest & most pathetic excuses in order to bash the game..

I'll have fun watching such comments while shortly enjoying KZ2 on my PS3 and kicking some a$$ online (or else get mine kicked) :P

The visuals in the demo are really mediocre to bad after actually playing the demo imo

I can't understand the hype, this game looks worst than 90% of the games i have played this generation, the lighting really makes little difference and looks ordinary, the animations are nice, then wears off, the textures,shaders are mediocre and the levels seem beyond small and blocky, walls and emptyness everywhere

This is one mediocre looking game in my eyes now, the hype was all about its engine features, when in reality is absolutly not even close to special in its implementation, games like Gears 2 and Uncharted look leaps and bounds better and that is still an understatement after the dissapointment i had this morning, 3 hours of downloading wasted, i will get back to COD that actually looks great

i think KZ2's control/movements just need time to get used to them since they feel different from other fps games available on consoles... the shooting is sharp and i like the aiming has been set pushing the R3 button, that way you have less buttons to utilise when taking cover... I played through the demo about 3 times, and one thing i noticed is the good AI even though its set on normal difficulty...

I realised why reviews commented on the weight of the guns / movement, in a way its quite realistic... overall i was impressed by the game, it delivered on whats been said great visuals, solid gameplay, good AI and its action packed (you really get the feeling you're in the middle of a war specially in the outdoor areas)... if i have to nit-pick i'd say the dialogue is quite lame (usual stuff you expect from such FPS) but am sure its not like that throughout the whole game.. Its still fun listening to your squad while heavily under fire :)

I was disappointed however by the demo cause its really REALLY SHORT..... :( (reallyyyyyy short)

Wow, looks like RE5 will be disappointing. Based on the huge amount of negative comments about the demo (I haven't played the demo yet), is it the consensus now that the game shouldn't even be hyped AA?

I don't know why there are so many negative comments. The graphics are very nice. The gameplay is great sans moving and shooting. It is really very fun. If the retail version keeps up this level of fun, it should get AAA.

Honestly say i'm in love with this game....i just backdoored it to death. (sick, right?) Standard controls work even better than the COD4 controls (after getting use to them), simply because of Killzone 2's realistic movement and more weighty feel....more so because Alternative 2 controls don't work well when in cover (needing to hold down 2 buttons at the same time). GG have simply made a master piece. The FPS cover mode is genius and works wonders. Pacing is perfect, recoil is perfect,graphics perfect, controls perfect, explosions perfect, sound PERFECT....yeeesh! As for the dialogue, i love it..typical marine war BS nonsense to keep things going, always nice to hear what your mates think and really adds to there personality.

Srsly that helghast weapon is powerfull and accuracy is much tighter.
