Yesterday we told you that Guerrilla had pledged to resolve the issue of the Killzone 2 intro movie not skipping until the Guerrilla Games logo had appeared, a rather annoying issue that forces precious seconds between me and my Air Support badge. Despite being informed by Guerrilla's Killzone Twitter account that QA was looking into a fix, producer Sebastian Downie has told us this is not happening.
"It's not a bug," explains Downey. "It was a requirement by Sony that we extend it. Not a bug and won't be fixed/changed."
Well, that sucks. Seb's swift reply confirms what I was originally told, that Guerrilla was in violation of a Sony decree that the developer logo needs to be forced upon players before they can play the game. However, the reply I originally received on this issue led me to believe this was being resolved in some way. Apparently not.
It's only a minor issue, really, but it's still really quite irritating, especially when I just want to quickly get into a game and have Sean Pertwee bark orders at me. Still, looks like we're going to have to live with it.

Also, i just watched Sean Pertwee in Mutant Chronicles. The movie was shit, but he was still awesome.
I hate it when you can't skip logos, but Killzone 2 is probably one of the quickest games to get into, even with this minor delay. Plus, I loooove his voice anyway.

I don't think it's that big a deal. Other games take much longer to get into even by skipping intros, and they don't look nearly as impressive.
The world need more totalitarian Brian Cox.
Years of development anticipating a great game, and people can't accept any complaints about it. Get over it, man. It sucks despite being largely unimportant.
I don't know what games everyone else is playing, but they tend to start much quicker than the 20-30 seconds it takes to get into Killzone 2 now. It doesn't bother me too much (I have to explain this or else I'm a jibbering Xbot) but we don't have to scurry about making excuses for it either.
