[PS3] KillZone 2 - part one never existed

I've got this on pre-order (especially since Play.com have it up for £30) and I'm hoping it's as fun to play as it looks from the videos. To be honest I'm not expecting anything amazing, just a very good looking solid shooter, so here's hoping it delivers.

I am very interested to play with the multiplayer aspect though, the Warzone concept sounds ace, and I like the sound of the CoD4 inspired badges and being able to build your own custom classes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

For anyone in Europe, or with a European PSN account, the Killzone 2 demo is going up today at 5pm GMT (source).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I've kicked off the demo, but in the tradition of new releases on the PSN it has gone precisely nowhere so far (0% FTW -_-).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How odd. In fairness it's probably not helped by the fact I'm downloading the Halo Wars demo on my 360 at the same time, but even so.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's not at all surprising, since they had a multiplayer beta running a while back. I thought it was fairly well known this was just a single player demo.

Anyways, I've not had a chance to try it yet because the download was running so friggin slow I gave up and paused it so I could play Left 4 Dead without horrific lag. Left it downloading overnight though so I'll give it a whirl after work today.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Download times on the PSN are a matter of pot-luck, sometimes it can actually be rather speedy, by then you'll get others (typically popular downloads when they first hit) that just crawl along.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The menu did have an effect on it that made it sort of come in an out of focus, it's like an unstable transmission or something like that. I actually really liked the effect they put on the menus, I thought it was quite neat.

As for the controls, they did feel a little sluggish at first, but then I went into the menu and turned up the sensitivity a little, and it felt fine.

FELIPE NO

You're what I'd consider to be an idiot. There's fuck all reason to come out with a statement like that, especially when you have chuff all in the way of evidence to back it up. The demo is incredibly short, and gives you only the faintest taste of what you might get in the full games. So please, do us a favour and bottle the bullshit.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

First of all you're wrong, it's not a wonderful demo, it's an incredibly meager demo that just about gives you a taste for Killzone. That's not to say it isn't enjoyable, I too played it and I too liked what I played, but I'm more than happy to admit that it was an incredibly small sample that you really can't form many opinions from one way or the other (outside of it looks damn pretty and the dialogue is pretty cliché).

More than anything I hate the idiotic assertion that these games have to be in competition with each other. I own Call of Duty 4 (fuck CoD5, WWII CoD4 rip-off from Treyarch that it is), Gears of War 2 and Halo 3, and I'm picking up Killzone 2. Why they hell do we have to try and put them in opposition to one another? Answer: we don't. That kind of bullshit is something a fanboy comes out with, and frankly we don't need more of those, and certainly not more of those moronic statements.

If you want to partake in sensible discussion, cool, let's do that. If all you want to do is indulge in spouting hyperbole and nonsense to justify your own purchasing decisions then take it elsewhere.

As for the swearing, it has nothing to do with anger, and everything to do with contempt.

How ya doing, buddy?

This is clearly going to be difficult for you, but try actually reading and then thinking before you put finger to keyboard.

Also, to echo Pang's sentiments: no one gives a flying fuck about your t-shirts, so either post them in your journal where they can be ignored, or don't post them at all because we just don't care.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just started this last night. Is it just me, or is the deadzone on the controls ridiculously large?
