Post subject: | Killzone 2. Time to die! |
GENERAL First Person controls simulating real weight and heft heightening tactical approach. Every inch of the battlefield a gift. Two games in one. Campaign mode and Competitive modes (Warzone/Skirmish) realised with exceptionally high standards. 720p @ 30fps (also supports 1080i/1080p & SD). No install. Deferred rendering engine. Supports hundreds of lights in-view in contrast to other engines which have tens of light sources on an entire map. Hit-response system. Combining motion captured animations with physics impulses creates death animations and hit responses with very convincing weight and presence. Killzone 2 will bring this technique to the limelight. Special FX Tall order of additional high end effects. Per Pixel Motion Blur across entire screen resolution. Advanced shadowing techniques. MSAA. Noise filter. Volumetric clouds. Depth based color grading. Internal lens reflections. Normal mapping. Depth of field. Wind physics. Particle physics(!) and other impressive niceties taking use of the PS3 hardware like no game before. Advanced A.I. Face truly environment aware opponents who move and spread fast enveloping your position and flushing you out of hiding. They respond and adapt quickly to shifting situations with a high sense of self preservation. Combined with tens of thousands of recorded combat lines makes every encounter unique. Art and Assets from people with backgrounds in engineering, aeronautics and industrial design. 7.1 Uncompressed Native Surround Sound (up to four different filters per sound effect, distance to player, ray casting to mould reverbs, decays and enveloping according to closed/open space). Music by Joris de Man (KZ1, KZL), Live music for cutscenes (Abbey Road Studios), interactive music for gameplay. Standalone Soundtrack release hinted at. Over twenty on-foot weapons.

Hardest difficulty (no HUD) unlocked when storymode is completed once. Vehicles. Tanks, turrets and more... Cover System. Campaign mode (only) features a "lean and peek" cover system which allows the player to take cover and then pop out to fire at enemies. The "lean and peek" mechanic stays in first person view at all times. Campaign exclusive weapons. For obvious balance reasons... Campaign exclusive Sixaxis functionality like twisting handles or placing bombs. Boss fights as well as mini-bosses. Intel and secrets to locate. WARZONE | Online Multiplayer Up to 32 Players Warzone is not only the overall name for Killzone 2's online multiplayer mode, it's a feature that embed a variety of game types. It's all about getting you into tailor built games and then keeping you there. Unlike other shooters, you don't exit a map in this title to change the gametype. Warzone smoothly shifts between different goals of play within the very same fight. It may start out with bodycount but after a while you get orders shouted at you to plant propaganda speakers in the oppositions area. If you succeed at this you might suddenly find yourself as the assassination target of the opposing force. For each different gametype and objective thrown at you there's a point to obtain, the faction with the most points in the end is declared victorious in the Warzone. Winners enjoy the sweet reward of a 50% XP bonus not to mention the glory. Matches are therefor epic in size and dangerously addictive, you will wish for this to be the standard in all competitive games. The competitive mode revolves around a deep class based system. As you earn XP and various ribbons, more and more classes and abilities as well as weapons gets unlocked for you to use. Each class has both a primary ability as well as a secondary ability (refered to as badges within the game). When you have two or more classes at your disposal you may choose to combine them into a hybrid class. For example, an Engineers primary badge ability is to deploy automated Turret stations that pepper the enemy with lead. At the same time you wish to directly aid your team mates. A good choice then would be the Medics secondary badge ability which is throwing health packs (bags of blood). By combining these skillsets you now create yourself a new hybrid class which is the Engineer Medic. Within a team you may also set up Squads consisiting of four players. HUD indicators will pop up showing the status of those team members and you may converse with them freely for better on-foot planning. In Killzone 2's online multiplayer you can quickly choose to join the battles your friends are fighting, there's no down time. Speaking of friends, Killzone 2 delivers the most hefty and in-depth clan and tournament geared competitive mode in any console game. Clans support up to 64 members (that means up to four full teams under one roof). The game comes with a fully built in tournament system, there's no need to artificially arrange this outside of the game as it's hard coded straight into the experience. You may also arrange matches via Killzone.com. Any tournament ladder may support as many as 128 clans at anytime. Each new clan starts out with 100 Valor points. Before each clan match you may bet Valor points on your team. The winner takes all robbing the competition of theirs. If you think multiplayer wins and losses in other shooters have been an emotional affair you haven't seen anything yet. Online drama in Killzone 2 will reach new heights, ultra sweet victories and truly bitter tear defeats. Your honor is at stake. This is all on top of the downright brilliant gameplay and audiovisual feast that Killzone 2 delivers, the game will leave a hefty footprint in the competitive landscape. SKIRMISH For players who aren't interested in competing with other players or for folks without an online connection. Same feature set as Warzone (minus community aspect). Supports 1 player and up to 15 A.I controlled Bots that uses the same abilities a human player enjoys. Bots can be set to four different difficulty settings. Just like Warzone mode you will grow in rank over time earning new classes, weapons and abilities. If your Warzone (online) rank is higher the Skirmish (offline) rank will be updated to that level of progress (but not visa versa). TO SUM IT UP

Another tidbit, when you get shotdown you reach out to teammates to revive you. If they don't you respawn at the respawn spot. If you get revived you can continue where you are. A class can lay down spawn points with smoke (like engineer with the warp portals in TF2, but without all the building two machines, and walking over to the warp from the stationary spawn points). |

More killzone stuff. It looks like clans bet points, and such for rank. FFObsessed"[quote="Wollan wrote: TTP wrote: I have sent a request to Guerrilla Games clan last Saturday for a match to take place on Sunday at 16:00 PM. I did bet 20 Value Points. They never replied. We got our 20 VP back. The DoA guys seems pretty busy. I spot at least a couple of them in every match. We might try with those. Albeit we will be probably suffer major damage Any preferred day/time I should set a clan match for? BTW, this in-game clan matchmaking thing is awesome. I say we bet a 100 against the first clan. All or nothing, beta doesn't last forever. But then if we lose the first one we can't play again! I say we make it interesting with a 60 first, then if we lose we can still have a couple more games at 20. If we win one then we can strap on a pair and go all in!

Helgast medic. Check out the blood bags. MEDIC! Oh btw, this is a strong NDA. People that leaked images, and video that can be traced to their accounts have been banned from PSN. Their whole PS3, so it's pretty much useless to them now unless they don't plan on using PSN on it... yea no weekly PSN games or stuff. Gimped PS3. |

Hmmmmmmm........ I want this... Do the guns have kickback like in rainbow 6 vegas? If not 'tis lame. |

Post subject: | Re: Europes Killzone 2 betas are out. |
Yea they kick back (? do you mean recoil?). The guns are heavy and show that they actually have weight to them. If you spin the screen the gun will sink in the opposite direction as if you're turning your body with a heavy object. If you jump the gun isn't locked down and move as if a soldier is jumping with something heavy. Look at the videos and pay attention to the guns. I love the way they move. On and not to mention the reloading. Very nice animation. Also when a round is over and you switch to a new game type, you don't exit the game you continue to play and orders are barked at the group. He'd say something like, "we failed to prevent the helgian forces from destroying the tower! You are now the target, stay alive!" So it went from defend, to deathmatch. It's slick and everything flows well. The action never stops and the guy on the radio keeps motivating you to win (not repetitive but in a way that makes you think you should be proud to fight for the army or something). |
