Killzone 2 (Demo)

[IainGamer]

Well was that it?

The demo lasts about 15 minutes!!

To be fair if feels, looks and plays nice.

Very good heavy feel to the play, guns etc.

Graphics are lovely and as per reviews very grey, but really bode well for for game.

Disappointed there wasn't more to experience and no multiplayer but it was free after all!

Damn GG, they just wanna tease us! The demo lasted about 15 minutes but the main thing is it leaves you wanting more which is always a good thing.

Just gonna echo what IainGamer said basically, visually breathtaking and the gunplay is fantastic. I also really like the lean and peak cover system that has been implemented, you stay in first person throughout and it reallys adds to immersion. You just basically hold L2 when you're near a wall and you slip into cover. You can peak around corners and look over the top, it's all very well implemented. Kudos to GG

You play on the trooper difficulty which I guess is normal and the enemy AI is pretty good for that particular difficulty. I noticed the Helghast soldiers steadily advancing from cover to cover to gain some sort of advantage on me, one guy even went round the corner.....sneaky so and so! The highlight for me was in the warehouse when one of the Helghast soldiers who was behind cover, sneakily rolled out to start shooting me (rather than just popping his head out), trying to catch me out. I found it rather amusing and clever in the same instance, nice little addition.

So yeah, can't wait for Feb 27th when I can get my hands on this beauty

Wow indeed!

The demo looks stunning, it feels great in that it has an amazing weight to the characters and the engine seems very solid (no slowdown or graphical hiccups to speak of) as well as good weapon feedback; the recoil is rather satisfying.

The star of the demo is the audio - it is simply mind blowing - and the visual are without a shadow of doubt THE benchmark every developer now requires to strive for.

I hope I don't come across as a pleb but this is the kind of game that makes you notice and appreciate the difference between the graphical and technical fidelity of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

An awesome demonstration that left me wanting more.

Downloading this at the moment... dont suppose it lets you pick different difficulty levels does it? would be useful so I know which one to play the game on when I gt it.

[ezee ryder]

You only get to choose the trooper difficulty.

its pretty nice looking but I wasn't super blown away, I guess I had high expectations. I seemed to miss everyone quite a lot even though I thought I was aiming directly at them. I think thats to do with me sucking at games more than anything else though.

I enjoy the slower pace and I'll definitely look into getting it sometime.

I think it's really good, but I can echo what you're saying- I was shooting right at them and half of the time it just didn't hit. The aiming feels off to me.

Brilliant stuff.

Tactical, slow paced & awsome fights, just what I was hoping.

Leave the demo for a great attract video!

Only thing I was unsure of, was that it seemed to miss the "Grainy" feel of the vidoes. This was added after the preview build.

I notice it says copyright 2008, is it possible this is not the final code?

PS, Alternate 2 and "Zoom Hold" are the best controls for xbox fanboys Team Grawsome.*

*like moi.

Looks stunning , best looking console FPS, though its not the major step up over COD IV , and I don't think it play as well in gameplay terms, and the PS3 is again just dire for FPS

Other than that , its an awesome demo to what looks to be an awesome game . The wait for the game to ship , is going to be a nightmare

Man this is painful. Its about 40 degrees everyday, im coming down with the flu, i didnt get much sleep at all last night, its 6:25am, i have no milk for coffee, i start work in an hour and this demo is now taking ages to install!!! I just wanna play. Everything is against me.

[ShadowDancer]

I'm itching to play this! I thought it was Wednesday until I saw that someone started this thread. Its slow dowloading..upto 47% after about 90 Minutes.

Can't wait!!!

[Synthesthesia]

Mine sped down the line, I was getting 1mb a second +

[Myth]

I'm glad they added in zoom hold, wasn't in the betas but I requested it with quite a few people.

[ShadowDancer]

I'm on about 1MB every 4 seconds. I downloaded Folklore Demo last night and that sped through at about a meg per second.

EDIT

Might be my connection..just counted 19 seconds for 1MB.
