First Killzone 2 Glitch Discovered

Nextgamer writes: "After all that positive Killzone 2 violence we now worse news on Killzone 2. The demo is now available on PSN since today and there are people who have no life. A YouTuber called "emerio" has posted an glitch from the Killzone 2 demo. Remarkable as this will be the first glitch that we encounter in Killzone 2."

[Gerry Mark II]

At least the whole game isnt a glitchfest like Gears of War.

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

noodles.

[Liquid Snake]

Lol Casey Ryback.

Under Siege what a classic movie.

[gaffyh]

It's quite crazy that this glitch is even possible. Most devs would have just put those areas (the guy was running on) as a background, so you literally couldn't interact with it. Just shows the quality of KZ2, even the areas you aren't supposed to go have been properly modelled!

[tatsujin]

Bugs are much worse. Glitches are just glitches and can be patched. Wait till GG finds out on this, they'll patch it first. Woot!

[el_bandito]

You can't have'em all right? Good thing we are on the next-gen console era, where almost anything can be fixed by patches.

[outlawlife]

actually this is the most common way of doing things so don't go over the top with the killzone love

many many many games "properly" model background objects

good recent examples of this would be call of duty 4, and both gears of war games

[terrandragon]

Lol, if you had 5 years to make a game like this, of course it wouldn't be a glitchfest like Gears.

[Ghoul]

come on how pathetic is this ?

this is a DEMO !

[rucky]

Funny how it's still a glitchfest despite already having a built-in engine.

[CryofSilence]

Actually, I recall having fun doing something very similar to this, though not as complex, on Call of Duty 4. So, unfortunately, that part of your argument fails.

[Ghoul]

hey terra

guess what gears had a devtime of 4-5 years too.

and now check THIS Unreal engine 4 is in development since

TADA 2004

now please get lost.

[DaCandyman]

At least in this case when you walk off onto nothing but air, you die unlike COD:W@W

[red5ive]

there's a glitch in the demo? fck this... i'm not getting it anymore.

[cayal]

"Lol Casey Ryback.

Under Siege what a classic movie. "

Bubbles for knowing great movies.

As for the glitch, I saw one in a demo play where a Helghast went through the wall. Big deal.

[Blaze929]

only thing good about that video was the song...

[xwabbit]

Your not even suppose to go there so lol ? Y does it matter

[actas123]

@the hater
The demo is part of the final game.

[callahan09]

I'm not too worried about so-called glitches that require you to go seriously out of your way, making tough jumps to get to places you're not even supposed to go in order to fall off an edge and die. Cool video, though. Demo was fun.

[ChaoticWarfare]

"there's a glitch in the demo? fck this... i'm not getting it anymore." lol its ok if u dont have a ps3 just dont leave retarded comments like that u retard...

[fanboi hater]

i was just thinking the same thing. I was more impressed than discouraged by the glitch as it is super impressive that all of that was fully rendered geometry that could be walked on instead of just some fake 2d picture.

[Marceles]

lol..i seriously think red5ive was being sarcastic, that's what ps3 haters want us to say

[qshooterp]

I played the demo for about 1 minute and that was one he'll of a minute then my ps3 bricked so it's going to be 2 to 6 weeks before I get it back no more killzone for me for a couple of weeks :(

[acedoh]

now I find it funny some are trying to use this as a subject. If you know anything about demos then you know they are usually from an earlier developement time before everything is fixed.

[Arnon]

This sort of thing was the main glitch within Halo 2. Half of the maps you could get out of and walk around and enjoy the scenery.

[Sheddi]

I agree with u.
My thoughts were, what the hell is he doing there? Ive found glitches like that in many games and it hasn't bothered me at all.

[red5ive]

i was being sarcastic. you cunt.

[Jazz4108]

And you know the complete game isnt glitchy how?

[I love video games]

i haven't played the demo so i don't know if all that ledge jumping is needed but if its not and that guy isnt suppose to get there then the glitch is a good feature for buffoons like that and his ps3 should break

[Karum]

None of the reviews mentioning it would be a good source of knowledge for such a claim.

[jammy_70]

and if its in the real game...who cares

pretty cool find though

[jav0918]

who cares if the game has a glitch.....all games have glitches I don't think anyone expected this game to be flawless nothing is perfect the game is amazing but stop trying to start the fanboy wars everyone expects glitches in games...

[Horny]

Gotta love Bone Thugs N Harmony

Uni5 album coming summer 09, all 5 members

[shovelbum]

Show me a MP game without glitches and then I'll be amazed. They are in the demo and they will be in the final product; it's just the nature of game design. People are very creative (used subjectively) when actively pursuing glitches to give themselves an added advantage and those on the development teams can't possible find them all during the design/testing process.

[Drano]

Bubbles just for the name.

Jump Beyond.

[JHUX]

They probably said to themselves "should we fix this?" "who the hells going to take the time to figure out all those jump? nah just leave it".

[Proxy]

I personally consider a glitch to be something that comes up during normal game play. If you have to spend hours practising and training to achieve a "glitch" it's no longer a glitch, but an "exploit."

[IcarusOne]

This cat seriously needs to get a life.

@Gerry Mark II: how is Gears a glitch fest? I've played the campaign three times and never encountered anything game-breaking. Yet another example of a Sony-phile having no clue what he's talking about.

[ChaoticWarfare]

lol well put / sarcasm at the end because ur use of language did not make it seem like sarcasm at all

[red5ive]

oh ok, sorry man.
let's hug.

/sarcasm

[resistance100]

I would be interested to know how old the build is.

[TheHater]

A friend of mine was tell me that is older than the beta they had. He stated that the graphics wasn't on par with the online beta, so I guess this is a very old build.

[resistance100]

I would say they were about on Par with the beta, when i was in it.

[Tempist]

Hey now, it's not a gilitch, it's an open world feature. See, Helgan is a very incomplete planet and they don't want the ISA to know that.

[MechaGear]

Didn't you see that it is exaclty what we saw as playable demo ever since?

[xg-ei8ht]

Nice find, Nothing wrong with that.

Every game i've ever had, has some sort of glitch in it.

But this demo is not from the full game.

It's older.

So i'm sure most of the glitches will be fixed.

[Daves]

He did go out of his way to find that, no reason to go up there whatsoever!

[ALIEN]

i don't care!!

[Slinger420]

It's definitely an old build. It looks exactly like the E3 2007 demo.

[gdblose]

I can't wait till Noobs start trying to do this in an actual Multiplayer Match. I'm gonna shove a grenade so far up there A$$ that they will be thanking me for helping them get up there faster.

[DK_Kithuni_71]

Go get 'em, tiger!

[Ace_Shooter]

that was funny gdblose. bubble for you

PSN ID: Qbenbee 310 (need to change it as too many peeps say it "queenbee" lol bastards)

[gdblose]

QUUENBEE now that's funny (Bubbles to you)

[Moe_OwnZ]

ah gorilla will fix it pre-launch
after all theres about 2.5 weeks left x]

[Aclay]

Killzone 2 has already gone gold for disc production, and Guerrilla is already done with it, so there will be no going back to fix things, but a demo isn't the final build, so this glitch may or may not be in the Final build that we'll get at retail.

[enviable27]

Bubbles for you my friend for the good laugh LOL!

[joevfx]

big deal, they will fix it in a patch, who cares.

[farhad2k8]

Yeh they will defo fix that in the full game!!
But i wonder how long it took the guy to find that glitch lmao
Looks hard to me XD

[SpikeSpiegel]

Ahhhh! Oh no! **runs to store, asks for refund for preorder and jumps out of a window**

[HBK619]

I already jumped out of the window, too bad it's on the first floor.:(

[BBCnewsrocks]

this game fails/ sarcasm.

[Shadow Man]

No game is perfect.

[DavidMacDougall]

COugh** Grays 2 COugh**

[cryymoar]

without a good glitch or two. this is funny though. Anywho, i have a free Killzone 2 demo card unused for anybody who wants it. I shall have a contest; whoever makes me laugh, it could be anything, a joke, a picture, a video, a funny comment.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

This Pile of Dod Turd(the Story)is top story on n4g.com???

PATHETIC!!! ;-D

Can't stop thinking about that KillZone 2 demo!!! ;-P
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! ;-P

[Lombax]

*plays KZ2 demo again*

[Aclay]

It's not that unusual for a demo to have a glitch because demos are the final builds. Considering that the guy actually had to go out of this way just to find a glitch, this just goes to show how polished Killzone 2 is, and this is just the demo.

[itchy18]

nice find.

[Honor_in_Armor]

to report glitches now, so GG can get on it like pronto.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

I actually tried to get up there. I wanted to see where that Helghast was hiding (:

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Why the disagrees guys?

There were 3 helghast up there, and I tried to get up there and knife em, not glitch.

[DavidMacDougall]

Im sure if i youtube the words "Gear of War 2" & "glitchs" i'll get way more hits and being this is a demo how the **** is it news?

[Shaka2K6]

Glitches found in Glitches of war 1.5 = 1......Billion.

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa a!!!!!

[ftwps3]

that was quick

ohh there's a few blemishes on every gem

[ExPresident]

This game is awesome. Some people just have to much time on their hands.

[Hercules]

the title is misleading..it should read "First Killzone 2 Demo Glitch Discovered" because to my knowledge..the game hasnt gone gold yet..or has it?

[itchy18]

It has gone gold already.

[rhood022]

It's gone gold (I think).

But, as some mentioned, this may be the E3 demo from July.

[rhood022]

so much for the claim that the "levels are too linear" (god what a stupid complaint).

[Wife Of The Bad Guy]

A round of applause for irrelevancy.

[cyclindk]

There's one part in the factory after everyone's dead (the guys who descended on the ropes) if you go look at the ropes they came down on they aren't attached to anything... hopefully they will be for the final release, but there you go..

[Hallucinate]

ya i notcied that heh and one of them even goes through i huge chunk of steel

[sinny]

Someone needs to get a girlfriend

[TheInCrediBleSulk]

PS3 is doomed. Go ahead and have your little glitchzone 2 and I will take my perfect and unglitchy Gears of war 2. HAHA so glad I have an xbox. now excuse me while i play the killzone 2 demo. =)

[Daz]

you on drugs? lol

[TheInCrediBleSulk]

I guess joking and sarcasm isn't your strong suit. And yes, I am on drugs, the drug called KZ2. Don't try it it is extremely addictive!

[pilotpistolpete]

Have you been killzoned....on weed?

[The Hunter]

its from the netherlands. so yeah on WEED yeah...

[Daz]

so you took it seriouly then? hows being on drugs a bad thing for some? lol

Everyone properly ben on drucks because you can get the from te local chemist :P

[JaPo]

Worst. Sarcasm. Ever?

[yeswecan84]

Just a demo lol

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Only problems:

- Make alternate 2 the default controls.
- Zoom hold should automatically be on.
- Crank the sensitivity up 2 notches
- Change Rico's voice...for the love of God...CHANGE HIS VOICE!!!

Everything else is just so perfect...it's easy to forgive these things.

[DevilsJoker]

I love how i discovered Alternate 2 were the best controls, and since then i've seen Alternate 2 EVERYWHERE, everyone must have thought exactly the same as i did. Its the COD4 controls and they should deff be the default.

[ProperFunked]

they're close to COD4 controls, but not the same. senstivity is a bit different from when you change directions, it just feels different. circle should be crouch not L2 but then its just like Res2 when L2 is crouch so, not too big of a deal. and i dont have a problem using toggled sights on/off, i think for this game it works better. IMHO

[Hallucinate]

i hate the contols because im ganna need to diffrent controls for online(alt 2 with tooggle off) and offline (default 1 with toggle on because its hard to take cover and press and hold l1 and l2 at the same time)

[Yo Mama]

You can pretty much glitch any damn game if you try hard enough. If you play the game the right way like a normal person, you wont see that glitch. There are people out there who do nothing more than try to purposely find things like that in games. This is retarded news, but on par for the crap that's approved on N4G.com

[cpuchess]

Wow the glitch caused terrible music to be play too!

[MerkinMax]

This is review build or newer because Guerilla had an interview with IGN and they discussed the fight in the warehouse. They stated that in the preview build you would enter the warehouse and the Helghast would just start fighting you. Then they showed how in the newer review build the Helghast are having a conversation and don't engage you right away. So the build is not old at all.

[Hallucinate]

you sir are right

[TheIneffableBob]

Why do these kinds of videos always have terrible music?

[thehitman]

Glitch.... Its just being somewhere your NOT SUPPOSE TO BE

[kelvin22]

this is hilarious is it really compository to find games DEMOS with flaws too kill the momentum i think someone does need a new hobby. this is hilarious. I find that there are so many post that bring this game but on the contrary there are just as many if not more posts that condone the development of this game.

[Etseix]

haha im with u dude. i find it funny how people try as hard as they can just to kill the momentoum still its a must buy.

[Polluted]

Lol. Why is the video 3 minutes long? He could have easily shown us the glitch in about 15 seconds.

[DJ]

The entire background was properly modeled and textured. Cool that the guy figured out how to get to it through just regular jumping. Hopefully the multiplayer maps have secret places accessible like this (albeit, on purpose), as it was one of the things that made Halo 2 multiplayer so fun to play.

[BkaY]

wth is wrong with n4g today...

[resistance022]

did he manage to do that. That was obviously no accident and how could he be searching for glitches, then whatever he just did, it just HAPPNED to be a glitch

[-EvoAnubis-]

And this is actually news? Wow . . . people must be desperate as hell to have bad press on KZ2.

[Gladiator7]

GLITCHS!
It's a part of the whole experience.

[Godmars290]

Guy went to a lot of trouble, go way out of field, to find that glitch. That's all that I'm seeing.

[collin1986]

Could somebody please help me to understand why there are people who go so far out of their way to find glitches in video games, I just cant comprehend it like , are these people bored, do they need girlfriends , please somebody help me.

[Godmars290]

Sane people - or whatever you are :p - wouldn't understand.

[Jamaicangmr]

Why would they need to fix this? He went through alot of trouble to go there. 99.9725% of the Killzone 2 players wont be bother to do that.

Another thing how is this a glich he fell in the water an died. If this where Uncharted 2 then you might have a case. Guy just needs a girlfriend an if by some freak of nature he has one. I blame her she needs to atleast suck him off more. I mean give the kid something better to think about.

[Rappit]

no game is perfect true....but is that a glitch? i mean look where he went? the dude went to places tht were supposedly off map, places where he shldnt have gone...hell yea you'll "no map" there!!! i don't consider that a glitch...heck im surprised he was able to get to the bridge in the 1st place!

[Premonition]

Even if this type of stuff is in the final game, it still doesnt count as some what of a glitch to me because the end user has forced himself to do these things to make it seem like a problem, I mean I would never waste my time to climb something that wasnt meant to be climbed, I ignore all that and just play the heck out of the game for the fun its worth.

[Ldubbz]

This place is too funny today...

The VERY FIRST comment..."at least its not a glitch fest like Gears"...nice. I guess its cool to just start making stuff up now.

I think we have seen the formation of a new unit...a squad...a FORCE, if you will...the KDF...Killzone Defense Force!! ATTACK!!!

[ultimolu]

Oh noes! :o

[Ace_Pheonix]

I remember hearing about a bridge glitch where an APC doesn't trigger something freezing the gameplay progression, and I saw a glitch on a preview where a tank hung in the air for like 10 seconds after the bridge blew up underneath it. Though those were fixed before going gold no doubt. However this glitch is awesome, I hope they don't fix it.

[HBK619]

You realise that's like saying that EVERY glitch that happened pre this game going gold counts, those 2 glitches you mention are simply glitches in design while making the game, every game has these(Not to mention post-release glitches too, but that is a different story), this is the only real playable glitch, and it isn't even really a glitch in the first place considering the lengths this guy had to go to 'exploit' it.

[SWANN]

I played through the demo 4 times, I didn't run into any glitches. Looks like a forced glitch to me, anyway. Still not stopping me from picking up my copy. Nice try, Xbot, I'll return the favor when Gaylo 4 finally comes out.

[Arnon]

I swear to god, you guys are f*cking morons. If you were to actually click on the video to bring yourself to youtube, you would realize that the guy making the video has no relation to the moron writing the "bad news" about Killzone 2. Hell.. doing these things are SO damn fun. And only someone like a Sony fan would take something fun and turn it into a hate crime. Doing this in Halo 2 was fantastic.

[tako2000]

it is a glitch all right, but i don't believe normal player will adventure that far off usual course...

Still good find though, early discover glitch is better then later.

[Magnum7mm]

atleast epic has good support

[kumashii38]

not a big deal.

[pansenbaer]

I'm glad I have a life...

[T-Baggins]

ITS A DEMO!!! How stupid can people be?

[na2ru1]

Because I'm not sure if that wall climbing is meant to be part of the route. Therefore, why should it be coded to avoid falling throught the ground? unless the 1st step on the wall is accounted as the glitch.

It's a glitch if falling through ground on the regular routes.

[Pleth]

but glitching in online games is lame. Yes, we all know you're super cool, you can walk on air from a steeple or hide in the ground and get mad kills, blah blah blah. I just don;t get cheating. I won;t let anyone play under my gamertag on XBL because in the off chance they get an Achievement, I won't be able to claim my entire Gamerscore as legit. Just doesn;t sit right. I earn every flippin kill I get with skill.

BeOneWithTheGun 360/PS3

[kewlkat007]

you'll find glitches...I swear some of you think games are so perfect
You'll see.

[karlostomy]

Did the ps3 run out of RAM?

figures.

[digger18]

Oh thats why there are plenty of glitches in Gears 2, since the 360 has the same amout of RAM!

[karlostomy]

hey friend... no need to get all defensive and upset.

The article and my comment was on ps3 and kz2.
Please try to stay on topic.

I guess your comment means that it DID run out of RAM then?

[PR3DAT0R]

When you design a map you don't expect people getting outside of it so you don't bother putting textures were people cant normally just go, but thats a to complex thought for your juvenile, stupid, moronic brain to work out

[karlostomy]

yeah..
"thats a to complex thought..." (sic)

Didn't you mean "that's a too complex thought"?

Funny how ypou call me juvenile, but your spelling and grammar is that of a ten year old. lol.

yeah, i guess now you have gotten angry and abusive, the ps3 will get more ram to fix this glitch?

yeah. thought so.

[PR3DAT0R]

You call me a ten year for a common grammar mistake when you make a major spelling mistake "Funny how ypou call me juvenile, but your spelling and grammar is that of a ten year old. lol." i love the ".lol." at the end, you know why...because the laugh is on you idiot!

Also the structure of my sentences are more advanced then yours, so if you predict my general literacy is at the age of 10, my prediction on yours is significantly lower than the one you gave me.

never try and insult my grammar ever again because you shall be completely destroyed by me, if not then your own ineptitude.

[mt]

it looks like assassin creed :p

[crimsonfox]

i like that song

[Stogz]

I just want to know why people are so pathetic that they have nothing better to do with their lives but to jump around in video games and try to find ways to break them. Here's a big piece of info, game testers get paid to do this, you don't, get a life!!!

[Gobuz]

Jesus Christ, come of you guys are pathetic.

I can't think of any words...

If you ever played games like World of Warcraft this is very common.

[sak500]

Why was it in black and white? Coudn't see any colors on screen.

[Lombax]

I tried for a while, with no success. It's actually quite difficult.

[Firstkn1ghT]

It's amazing how some people prefer to look for glitches than actually play the game. I remember with Halo 2 I would always go into a custom game with people just running around the ends of maps trying to get out of the map. Telling me I have to melee 20 times crouched while looking down than I have to jump over the barrel than go around the turret and wha laa... you are out of the map. And I be like "who gives a sh*t?"

Glitchers take pride in being the first to do useless things in games.

[Lombax]

Fun = useful

[thereapersson]

I can't believe my eyes...

Is this... FirstKnight making a neutral comment on Killzone 2?

*looks out window and sees pigs flying overhead*

[Daz]

-

[AJBaldwin]

Someone found a glitch. Every game has glitches or bugs, but generally for more stable games you'll actually need to search for them like this one.

How is this even news?

[peeps]

as long as there are non in multi (expecting there will be which will need to be patched) it's not really a problem. the only annoying glitches in single player are ones where u get stuck/ can't progress etc... being able to go out of the map in single player isn't really a big deal cus i imagine the only reason ppl actually glitch online is to piss off other people who are playign normally, so in this case it'll only be bots getting annoyed haha.

[jellybalboa]

thats not a glitch, it is called a predessment enviroment, devs input these to create game lamentiousness, extra sense of limited freedom, it is coherent with all modern contemp games, i develop games for mobiles where we r unable to do that due to low capacity of teraflops and ram,~(omega memory space)

[hulud86]

This game will probably suck.

[badkolo]

i dont think its a glitch either, he was actually doing what semed intented up to a point, climbing up they way he did is possible, so then he passed beyond the play area, that part might be a glitch, being able to breach the invisible barrier . but the rest of it isnt a glitch, thats the farthest part of the map, a place you dont go but can see to a point.

[JonahNL]

Oh noes!!! Now the world is going to end...! *BORING* Sigh...
Every game has glitches, get over it...

[deividpaulo]

cry xboxfanboy cry..

KZ2 is just PERFECT!!

game over to microsoft!!

FACT!!!

[Austin_SJ]

hopefully GG will patch their games quickly, unlike treyarch who left the castle glitches in forever.

[yoghurt]

ha ha ha ha ha h

I hardly call this a 'glitch' how long did he/she take to find it, how many people will ever go up there. Seriously, this is sad.

[GmanUK]

come now, really.. glitches in software... not 100% correct? OM_Dear_God... this is too funny....

name me one game one piece of sofware that does not have a glitch in it!

it doesn't dull the game it's not an important glitch, it's just that...it will probably be updated and fixed at some point anyhoo.

[rTR-Pioneer]

to be honest, a glitch like this does not bother me as it does not affect gameplay, to go that much effort it hardly takes away from the gameplay. however, when you have to cover your fellow soldier when he is hacking the door, i thought it was rather odd that the helghast stayed downstairs and did not attempt to shoot me.

[Ryuk]

There goes your online play session. They better hope that this isn't a available map in da game. That vantage point + sniper rifle = easy a$$ kills. Sony fans have just been killzoned by their own game >:P

[N2NOther]

Who bothers to find this useless crap out?

[rbbrdman]

Why the fug do youtubers think that everyone wants to listen to their retarded music blaring over videos.. regardless of the musical genre it is just damn annoying..

Fugin shet.

[thereapersson]

Agreed -- that music was really terrible

[thereapersson]

But look at the lengths this guy had to go to to find this. I'm guessing this part of the game wasn't coded in the demo, or due to the level streaming, wasn't loaded because it wasn't triggered.

Either way, all the fools bashing this game because of this video need to get a life.

[AriesFury]

like games don't have glitches

[Klopek]

I bet this guy kicks ass at platformers. :p

[laaakokaracha]

My parents taught me not to complain about something that is for FREE!

its a demo and its not up to date.

wanne bet the final version wont have this particular glitch?

[TheOutsider]

The damn game is just a demo!! You want a real glitch go play halo and gears!!!

[dukadork2]

not only killzone 2 looks better than anything the 360 can ever dream of, but it does it while wasting a lot of resources in areas where you're not supposed to go.

lol

[Crueltylizer]

Despite the small glitch i must hand it to guerillia that they've actually modelled that much of a map. Most developers would have made a backdrop, but even a crane (Or what ever it is) is actually modelled and setup that far away. That is really amazing.

[SwiftArsonist]

facts: its true, the guy who discovered this has no life.
demo impressions: too SHORTTT, graphics wise looks great but not the best(sorry Gears 2 has that department on lock down), gameplay its ok and there's a lot of stuff going on at the same time. overall rating: 8/10

[Lykon]

Rap disgusts me , although i do like that gamershow bloke, i cannot tolerate rap music of any kind it makes me angry. As the the glitch, so what. KZ2 still does steaming lumps of poo all over anything any other console has ever done let alone that broken gay box of failure the 360.

[Magic_The_Celt]

yeh..demo....

[likedamaster]

Killzone 2 demo glitches are signs that whole game will be glitchfest = Fail?

[krouse93]

No, but you sir Fail at Life.

[QuizPyro]

big deal
