It is unclear if the card will grant instant access or if they'll essentially sitting around, waiting to be used until February 3rd.

Can't wait to play the demo, I already played the MP beta for days nonstop, from what I played I can guarantee you that this game will knock your socks off. No doubt this will be a blockbuster hit.

Edit: Found this on the ps3 fourms,Don't know if this is true but "On the back of the demo papers it said they are active effective after the Feb 5th" Meaning you can't download it untill the feb 5th. Take this with a grain of salt because it could be false, people like to start rumors

you wouldnt believe the problem i have here in EBGAMES in canada. I walked in one time when R2 was released and asked for a copy, "Hi could i get a copy of Resistance 2?" the guy started to look around and came back to be and said, "I cant find the 360 version, I'm really sorry." I was like WTF!! I told him that it was a ps3 exclusive and walked out of the store.

as much as I love killzone, im passing up on the demo part just because I dont want it to ruin the hype for myself on the final product. If you got this far on the previews you can survive another month for the actual thing. I was in the beta, I enjoyed it as a teaser but barely played just so it doesnt become a overkill when it comes out.

11.1 - yeah
I feel the same way. Although i am excited about playing it, i really want to wait until the game comes out. I'd rather get the pre-order with the home cloths.

Were there any pieces of music or sound design that you had to leave out?
Mario Lavin: In fact we used everything. The length of the game is around 11 hours. So for the pieces of work that didn’t fit in certain areas, they were put on the back burner and used at a later date. For instance, a nonessential character’s theme had been scored, but gave too much importance to that person. The piece didn’t fit, but was suitable for a dramatic scene further on in the story with the captain’s airship transport. It had been written by Joris six months prior, and was just one example where we recycled previously conceived bar sections.

the lenght of the game is 11 hours so how many points will they cut from the review?? i think its erfect for FPS.
thanks

That article makes no sense. Why would online orders have to wait a month? Gamestop can just email you the code, even if you ordered the game in the store. I think this guy is confused.

It doesnt make a difference. Nobody can play the Demo until Feb.5
Regardless, if you got your code early or not.

19.1 - Exactly...
When I first heard about the demo and the card for pre-ordering in store, I called them. I knew these f$%^ers were morons when I asked if they were taking pre-orders for Killzone 2, and the idiot says; and I quote, "Ok, let me check, what system is that for?". I just wanted to hang the phone up when he said that, but wanted to see if maybe he had an idea about the cards. His replay was "Um, we hope to be able to do that, because every store has a quota and if we get enough pre-orders we will have those I think". At this point I did hang up.

I would preorder, but as a savy shopper. I am pretty sure once the end of February comes around I will be able to find the game cheaper at Walmart, Best Buy or somewhere else.

As I also only play demo's once (doesn't matter if it's single player or multi). I'll likely pass on the preorder bonus.

forevercloud3000 - 350 days 7 hours ago
23 - I think I know why....
They are doing the demo like this. Its because the "Demo" will have all the same things as the "Beta", both SP and MP put into a small demo package to be freely played until the game comes out. It makes more sense for them doing it this way if that is true. They just cant let everyone who wants it to get in on playing the MP because of server restrictions (its just a demo so server not as big as real one).

That would be awesome if true.

You get a card and have to wait a whole freaking month.. I dont know if i can handle that.. lol.. Screw the pre order.. i will just wait until the game comes out.. damn i was hoping to get my hands on killzone 2 this week.. this is my most hyped game the generation.. i cant wait..

I have to say; this is worse than waiting for sex...
