Yes, despite all the drama and controversy, Killzone 2 has NOT been released yet, can you believe it? It feels like the bloody thing has been out forever with all the chatter that's been had, and I'm not sure if that's the attitude Sony wants to foster. Still, this is what happens when you have reviews and obligatory fanboy overreactions three weeks before release.
Despite a rising amount of "hype fatigue" that I seem to sense over this game, I am still pumped for its release. Sony hopes to keep us pumped with the above TV spot, which looks like a very typical PS3 commercial. Very arty and "deep", but sexy at the same time. So sexy in fact, that Guerrilla will be offering a "playable" version of the commercial itself on PSN.
"To offer you some insight into the technology behind this game, we will release a playable version of this in-engine ad vignette on the PlayStation Network coming in March," states Sony's Scott Steinberg. "You’ll be able to control the camera and hear director commentary on how the production was completed using only the game’s technology. The project codename is 'Killzone in 4-D' – hope you can check it out."
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

Oh good another dimension for Sonic games to fail in.
Even though Killzone 2 will have been released by the time this comes out in March I will in all likelihood get this (provided it's free). I found the commentaries on the all the Valve stuff interesting so this should probably be worth a gander.
I am also really looking forward to this game, but have been kind of burned out from the hype it's been getting for about the last 2 months on different web sites.
@Clance: Yeah, I was just going to say that it reminds me of the Freak on a Leash video.
this game looks unreal, ive only played the demo, and its def the best looking game out there. and most are saying that the retail vers looks even better. oh, gameplay fucking rocks too, and i love the whole ragdoll/mo-cap death animations, i never get bored of watching helgast die..
Yeah that TV spot kicks ass, I DL it last night from PSN. I'm getting this game when it comes out, I cant wait. This will be worth the wait. Although the slogan "War. Perfected." is a bit much, but they need some kind of tag line to get people thinking about the game.
Wow, that's a cool ad. The visuals in that game are the best I've ever seen personally.
Just gets me even more excited. I can't tell you how many times I've played that damn demo! It did well to hold me over for bit, but now I just really want the game.
i will wait as long as it takes. they dont want to push a release date becuase then it ends up like socom. everything would be jacked up and u wouldnt want to play it till patches come out

Great clip... Reminds me of that Korn video.
Without fail, every day there is a "top 3" story on Killzone 2 at N4G.com

i don't think that it's real-time.
But it's still a great spot!

It IS real time. Supposedly Sony is going to release the video in March where you can manipulate the bullet and move it around within the commercial.
Just gets me even more excited. I can't tell you how many times I've played that damn demo! It did well to hold me over for bit, but now I just really want the game.
I just did it again.
