The last time we heard anything about Killzone 2 was back during E3 when Nex was going through a phase where he would give editors ridiculous nicknames. It's odd that Sony hasn't been saying much on the game. The PlayStation 3 is in desperate need for some original games that aren't going to get ported to the 360 at some point in its life ...
The screenshots don't reveal anything really. It's pretty much the same generic stuff they've shown before. All we know is that there's a war going on with alien forces trying to conquer the galaxy and blah blah blah. The only thing that caught my eye was the above picture. The enemy looks like a Big Daddy.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Wait, what Hamza? The check isn't in the mail yet? Well fuck that then.
And maybe I missed this for a week or a month or however long, but watermarking the images? Just don't. It's a pain in the ass for shooping.
drake has tons of color, and drake is cool.
killzone 2 will be great..
I know they want Killzone 2 to be so amazing but I just can't see that from here. The first one left such a horrible taste in your mouth. Though the PSP game was fun :D.
Seriously, I don't give a shit how "pretty" you models look, if everything is dowsed in bland colors it's going to look ugly. Besides, some of the textures look like shit up close. People expect too much from this game and the people developing it since the first one was grade-A horse shit.
It'll be a mediocre shooter at best, and hopefully that dumb as rock AI is ironed out. Those videos they released earlier showed enemies just standing out in the opponent waiting to be shot, and the ones who were hiding could be run up on without them even trying to kill you.
*Checks mail, finds a check from Sony.*
Oh.....hey, haha! I'm just fucking with you guys! This game is going to be awesome! :)
Gears of war is like rainbow island compared to these lackless colour screen shots though!!still doesnt mean it isn pretty ;¬)
- the first Killzone SUCKED
- the developers have never done anything noteworthy as a company
So why the hell is this game getting the hype that its getting????
... oh yea... $$$$! Thanks Sony!
it has a feature i am interested in, a cover system that could trump Vegas. the only thing i wish was different about Vegas was that the cover system would stay 1st person instead of changing to 3rd. that would make it harder and more realistic to pop out from cover, since you have to poke your head out just to see. Killzone 2 has this cover system with the first person view.
i also like the idea of the limited HUD, kind of like Hardcore mode in CoD4. i'm not saying it will be amazing, or the next coming of Christ. i'm saying that Killzone 2 has my interest.
also, if you had you all had the FragFX controller for ps3 like i have, you'd be interested in every ps3 FPS.
Now what we are looking for is Haze. That might make me go get a PS3. That or a FFVII or a Panzer Dragoon Saga remake.
And Killzone 2 is supposed to original somehow? I was under the impression it was filed under dark FPS.
You'll think I'm crazy, but these games actually allow you to play a character from his point of view! AND SHOOT STUFF! I know, it sounds incredible doesn't it? Maybe this genre will overtake our beloved platformers someday!
***Killzone 1 and Killzone Liberation had both EXCELLENT multiplayer, which was more than enough to redeem themselves, but most people never tried them out...
You are just confused, because every screen for this game looks so damn similar. I can see where you would get confused.
Also, I never played the first 'cause I heard it sucked, but what are they doing gameplay-wise to separate it from the old title? It looks like a mix between CoD4 and Gears of War to me. While that doesn't sound bad on paper, it looks as though all they really took was CoD4's realistic-looking environments and Gears' monochromatic color scheme choice.
Where is the quality gameplay evidence? Or are they just banking on this selling due to the apparent power of its Blu-Rayz? It looks like that's what they're trying to do from what I've seen. Every preview only ever mentions how good it looks and mentions nothing in regards to quality gameplay, innovation of any kind, etc.
Overall: meh.
I can't wait to hear it in action... this might be pretty sweet to play.
"Oh shit! It's NOT Microsoft, I couldn't possibly like it. Ha-hum! Um... Um... Um... The Colors... yeah, that works... that's the ticket... the colors, I don't like them."
However, those of you not excited due to Killzone 1 suckage... I feel you.
Here's hoping for a fun game...
I really hope this game doesn't suck. I'm sick of these damn dreary games with grim characters, grim landscapes, and grim action. Give me a decent story, decent characters, and good gameplay and I'll be happy. Anything less? FAIL. And it's already got one strike against it: It's a Killzone game.
