What are you doing on February 27, 2009? Buying Killzone 2 for your PS3? I won't be, but I'm sure plenty will on this North American release date.
That's not to say that Killzone 2 won't be good. It sure looks good.
ShackNews points out that this game will finally drop after almost four years of hearing about it. It was officially announced last night on G4's X-Play. Maybe the devs were hoping that four years was enough time for the gaming press to forget about the whole pre-rendered vs. real-time thing from a few years back. Sorry, dudes. We did not forget.
Will you be picking this up?

Good stuff though. I plan on buying it. I want to see a collector's edition or something.
There is no reason not to buy it if you are a gamer. Fanboys ftl.
Hush r3yguti...you xbot, you :P
Fek yea, just remodeled my PC station with a new 24" Acer hdmi monitor.
I disagree, the PS3 has seen improved sales this year, of course not for the holidays so far because of its high price point, but it did better than some expected. They released some great exclusive triple A titles this year, MGS4 and LBP. They can't cram all their exclusives in one year. Why? Business. Example...Dark Knight. Warner Brothers made money hand over fist on it. Harry Potter, was supposed to come out last month, but they bumped it until summer next year. Why? Because 2 huge money maker movies in one fiscal year doesn't make sense, when you can bump it until next year and be sure you have at least 1 sure-fire blockbuster release to enjoy on your next year revenue.
Every person I talked to that is in the beta loves the game, they all agree it looks and more importantly plays great. Day one purchase for me.
they are close to that pre-rendered thing too.
HHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG
The newest videos do also look very enticing.
I'm thinking of getting this because it looks like a great game from the previews I have read. If you want to pass over it cause your biased then so be it, your loss :)!
That's because ti actually looked very similar to the in game graphics. The PS3 pre render for Killzone 2 however, claimed to look like in game graphics - but didn't.
That, my friend, is the difference.
(I would like to say, however, that regardles Killzone 2 still looks extremely pretty. *swoons*

Since being in the beta I can say that not only does the game look good, but it plays great too. Since that day KZ2 is now on my reserve list.
If you own a PS3 and enjoy FPS, KZ2 is sure to please.
It's called an opinion. Learn what the word "opinion" means here.
It's a f-in game about war which last time i check is not about rainbows and ponies. I've been playing the beta and the game looks amazing and manages to really make you feel like your in a war zone. Now granted the environments are dark and you'll be seein alot of gray but the fact that it manages to impress DESPITE that is a very good sign. This will definately be a day one purchase for me as long as they add an option to turn off toggle for aim and turn on tuggle for crouch.
Regardless I think it looks like a fun game for the FPS fan. Even if the game is very dark, it kind of feeds the atmosphere when you have orange glowing eyes in the distance and you know they are coming for you.

Actually, that's not an opinion. That's a suggestion.
As far as the actual article goes, I'm really looking forward to this. It looks absolutely amazing, and the people I talked to who have the beta have confirmed that awesomeness. I still need to play the first Killzone, though, and since it's so cheap now, I may have to grab it to play over Christmas.
It'll probably be a fun game, no doubt. But amazing?
Aside from visual representation, I don't see anything special here.
You are using the term amazing, which has millions of different definitions depending on the person. If the game is fun, isn't that what games are all about. It's pretty obvious you already have your mind made up, probably due to fanboys reasons.
Here's the thing....Gears, Resistance, Halo, and Killzone can all co-exist. They are all fun, different, and amazing in their own ways. If you can't afford a PS3, just say it, no need for the sour grapes.
