Great preview, even though is a little old, good to see how much effort and dedication the developers are putting into the title.

I think people were saying the AI was stupid more than talking about aggressivness. I'v seen aggressive Mushroom people in Mario.

He has bubbles, because before the bubble reset people were actually reading his comments and were annoyed by them..

Now, people don't really listen to him and do not take him seriously.

So, people aren't even wasting time removing his bubbles..

Did he mention the meaning of the remark? could mean anything sounds like a witty comment saying two things at once could be wrong.

#2.3: Its because I'm not trying to flame I tell it how I see it why would anybody with any sense try and take bubbles for that comment the charactors often looked confused trying to figure out what to do getting shot at the same time, thats what people are talking about.

#3.2, Thats whats being said and understood in our reality most people live in on Planet Earth seems to be on par with what I seen(seen bad guy run up to gamer and get plugged stood there for a sec waiting to get plugged once more due to the Cell or whatever not reacting fast enough to the action):

guys and gals, everyone knows power of green is a secret undercoversonylova, he gets on every news site that deals with sony, he spends hours upon hours trying to convince he is really a xbot lova , but we all know the score

P.S. power of green is also upset bc when KZ2 comes out we will get around 30 -50 GBytes of gameplay, something that no xbot will ever have, least not in this gen . APPLAUD NOW

i'm not ripping your opinion, but you want GI's opinion on how good the AI is? read the last page of the article. if you had read it, you would see how much they like the AI and how aggressive it is to respond to the players mistakes. go ahead and read, THEN MAKE COMMENTS.

2.12 - @POG- He actually explained what he meant by "agessively good" in quite a lot of detail

He was descriptive, he used examples, and stayed away from comparing it to the Xbox360, so you wont twitch or anything while you read it.

Keep up the good work though, your Xbox loves you too.

@3.2

couldn't read what they said? I have the issue, and here it is word for word.

"Most noticeable in the fights was the aggressive enemy AI, which was quick to take advantage of our failings. If we let up on the covering fire, they would quickly flank into a better position. And, as we learned, running out of ammunition during a crucial firefight was tantamount to suicide, as the enemies seemed to notice and charged our location."

and yes the spent hours with the demo, not minutes :D

16 - Killzone 2 might be better than Halo 3

This game looks like your in a futuristic version of World War 2, where the Helghast are the new Nazis. The game looks good from the character's expression to the environment, which is 2gigs!!!! Halo 3 looks good and I know it will be a good game, but it doesn't look like it change much since Halo 2. I hope Bungie already put all that advance Elite and Brute A.I. in Halo 3(When the Elite use the sword to slash off the brute's legs, and a brute turning over a Warthog. I have a feeling that Killzone 2 will be Sony's answer to Halo 3. Nuff said.

17.1 - Serious question:

If you were to design your own FPS, how would the AI react to a dynamic battlefield environment? Write it out step by step so that we can start sending in your ideas to Bungie and Guerrilla.

18.1 - No way

Halo & Killzone are different types of shooters.

Killzone should only be compared to realistic shooters such as CoD4, Graw2, BF:BC etc.

Also, for the type of shooter that Halo is, it is as close to perfection as you can get. It's hard to improve on perfection(gameplay, SP & MP, online, characters, weapons, vehicles, story, settings, visuals & audio). That's why there's not going to be a huge difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3 - except it'll look better.

If GG gets all the basics right right as Bungie did with Halo then Killzone will achieve AAA status, without a doubt. But it won't kill Halo in every respect. Maybe in some areas but not in every.

You can only equal perfection, you can't beat it.

<edit>

To all the critics of Halo. I said as "close to perfection" not that it "was perfect." The problems with Halo are few and far between and have little affect on the overall greatness of the game.

For what sort of shooter Halo is? I would term it a fantasy shooter like UT. Now these would be contrasted to realistic shooters like Killzone, CoD, Graw etc.

18.3 -

perfect? halo? if the halo formula was perfect than there would never be any need for bungie to patch things. most of the MP maps look nothing like they did at launch.

the halo2 story was a bit of a letdown. the level design was way too symmetric and it was easy to get lost. the weapons were definitely not well balanced. the only way to balance most of the weapons was to dual wield the right combination.

if halo3 was perfect, then why were there so many complaints about the beta?

halo2 was a great game, but far from perfect.

Funny to see that AI is the only thing ppl are criticizng about a game still more then 6 months away from ebing release. Pretty good sign if you ask me.

BTW, I'd love to see the E3 level played with God mode turned off and in the hardest difficulty setting. Just to check if the ppl who said the AI was dumb could get past it on the first try ;)

To the ignorant ppl still whinning over it being too dark...you have seen one level in which the main focus is on the big ass storm happening, plus, did you see the GameSpot E3 level walkthrough video where they show how the game looks with the post-processing filter off? I think not. Anywyas, lets just for a "day-time" level to be shown, shall we?

20 - What about Killzone(Ps2)?

Wasn't so long ago all the trolls kept saying Killzone(Ps3) was going to be crap due to the original game...and of course the E3 2005 CGI target trailer

Now that's all behind us and the focus now is on AI and gameplay. Good.

An E3 2008 Beta and late 2008 release would be ideal. Just get everything right GG. Don't mind the wait.

Ahh, thanks for posting, I commented of this in the GI scans post. I really wonder if it was a different build, or GI played the game on a higher difficulty setting. I must say "rushing the player when they are out of ammo" is MUCH better than rushing the player at all times!! Anyway, I really hope the gameplay is steller, the insane CG quality graphics deserve insane gameplay to go with.

halo 3 better graphics and textures? LOL

BTW, why does everyone praise Halo 3's AI so much? The only "impressive" thing I saw from the gameplay vids I watched was that they jumped out of the way when MC was trying to run them over with the Warthog.

Seriously, apart from that, the AI looked completly normal...

Anyways, I'll say it again. If Killzone's only clear fault atm is the AI, awesome news! Again: show me one of the guys who badmouthed the AI playing on the hardest difficulty setting with God mode turned off. If they still think its crap, I'll take that statement serious.

after watching both gameplay demos from killzone 2 and mgs4, i'm more worried about mgs4 ai then killzone 2's (although kojima said it'd turn out a lot better then the demo)... plus majority of a games play lifespan comes from playing online against real intelligence so in the event ai in the game turns out iffy theres always multiplayer! ( hopefully you don't have to sit there waiting hoping you'll see the light blue CONNECTED! pop up haha)
