Journalist on Killzone 2: "My god. Let the hype engulf you"

Gamezine:

'European journalists are beginning to receive their Killzone 2 preview copies and one journalist is already blown away.

An Italian journalist, otherwise known as TTP on gaming forum NeoGAF, has just received his copy of Killzone 2. The full game is in his hands and he couldn't wait to express his feelings on the game so far;

"My god. Preview code looks almost like pre-alpha compared to final...."'

"My god. Let the hype engulf you"

I`m getting SUPER excited realizing this is a month away from being in my possession.

This is the GAME that makes PS3 haters LOVE the PS3. You gotta love that.

GTA:SA was definitly exciting.

I haven`t been this excited since........LittleBigPlanet. :)

Seriously though this even tops Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, and I was really excited for that game. When I got it, I couldn`t stop smiling. It was great.

Unfortunatly, now I can`t even think of Nintendo w/o cringing.

LOL, I've already been engulfed in the hype for years!

Can't wait to finally get Killzone 2 in my hands.... After all the years, it's almost here baby!

I haven't been this excited for a game release since MGS4... but I think I'm even more excited for KZ2 than I was for MGS4 though.

I remember Peter Moore in 07' saying, "how can 08' be the year of PS3, when Killzone 2 is coming in 2009?"

Im feeling another HAZE like event here. After this game flops too, I hope everyone will believe that Microsoft finally did something right and made a good, RELIABLE product (nobody i know ever had RROD but had the extra warranty from best buy so THEY killed their system to get a free upgrade).
Anywho...good luck to PS3 fanboys on this one..really!

lol ..thanks

im really impressed by killzone 2 ... i'm thinking about borrowing a ps3 from a friend or buying a used one to play this ... my only concern is that everyone seems to be blown away only by the game's graphics and they don't put the same enthusiasm about the gameplay when they talk about it... or sometimes don't mention it at all

The focus on graphics is generated from the HYPE of E3 2005's trailer. Too many people bagged on Sony and GG for releasing pre-rendered footage. So what do we get now? Graphics that fall short, meet, and even surpass the trailer in different areas.

By fall short, I mean the fluidity of pre-rendered footage is extremely hard to match by actual game play.

By meet, I'm talking about the intensity, the sounds, the violence, the pure carnage is all there.

And by surpassing, the lighting, the COLORS, the fire effects, the variety of helghast, and of course does this by all being rendered by the PS3.

So that's why all people do is talk about graphics when it comes to Killzone 2.

But having been in the beta myself, the gameplay lives up to the graphics. It's like a Gears of War 2 and COD4 had a baby and Killzone 2 popped out. Which is a very F'in good thing.

No wai! Dr. Cox is like dozens times better... But I agree with da Chicken. mostly I hear about Killzone 2's awesome-fckin-visuals.
The more I'm interested in is gameplay and mood. And as I could see on the gameplays, it appears to be incredible. Well, it's less than 2 months to check it out myself.

Bubbles for sarcasm, really good post. Have played the beta at my friends house a couple of times and after the first time I couldn't sleep at night because all I was thinking about was KZ2. Now if the gameplay is anything like the beta it is a winner in my book.
(And we allready know that the final build IS better)

"Almost feels like a GG dev was hidden behind the sofa taking notes at every "mmh" of mine during my preview code run. "

Love that.

"And there are quite a few differences in how things unfold [to the preview code]"

Quite a few people mentioned the lack of story in the preview could. "who am I?", "why am I doing this?" stuff like that, lack of narrative. Fingers crossed thats what he's getting at. I still enjoy single player just as much as MP.

In the long run, I will put more hours into the MP, for sure. But I love blasting through the single player game. Usually in one sitting if possible :)

Hopefully, if (when) we get a co-op patch I'll be a happy man.

4.3 - Fishy Fingers,
Every time there is an article about Killzone-2, I come searching for any word on Co-op but how can GG leave this out? :(

Fishy Fingers - 348 days 15 hours ago

I know, it's a real shame. But to many sources list rumours (some strong),or quotes from (official) magazine editors about co-op being patched post launch. I like to think GG/Sony know it is something to be expected of FPS games now. I know COD4 didnt but still, the majority do.

I'm pretty damn confident a patch will come, but GG/Sony wont want to talk about it so close to release. Why descuss the one negative? they'll be pushing all the positive aspects and rightly so.

If it's going to happen, I expect to start hearing about it just after release.

That makes sense, why say anything about that 'one' bad thing. So patch it is then, wooot !!! That would make Killzone-2 just so awesome....

But makes me wonder, with 4 years dev time, why didn't they put it in. Is it that hard, I mean they have an AI that's actually doing Co-op in the game and that's even harder to do, it's all a bit strange really !!

4.6 - Why not add co-op?
Let's just say the GG and Sony R&D have been dedicated to making the one player mode and online game as good as anything you'll ever experience to-date. As much as I love the idea of co-op mode, I would prefer to have their resources dedicated to what I will be spending most of my time on, online and single player. It's been in the works for 4 years, utilizing the best of technology available. Let them continue their focus and let's cross our fingers for a co-op patch in the near future...No compromises, quality over quantity!

I have the feeling we're going to be in for a real treat.

The thing which could keep me playing R2 is the co-op mode. That's the only thing I will be missing in KZ2. But could you do Team matches with one side bots ? That almost would be the same, but has no real objective...

Sony really needs to throw alot of advertising dollars for this game in the US. Haven't seen a commercial yet which is perplexing. This game will probably sell a few million but why not try and get a few more.
