It seems they listened to the complaints from fans about the lack of story in Killzone 2 then?

It's really weird how they handled the story of Killzone 2, if you read their website at the time they have a ton of the history of Helghan and Vekta written, the back story of the characters, the technology, loads of concept art - and yet hardly any of that made it into the story of the game.

If the story trailer is anything to go by, those 70 minutes of cutscene will be pretty enjoyable - Malcolm McDowell and Ray Winstone are great actors after all, very distinctive voices too which lends well to videogame work.

(And if Killzone 2 is anything to go by, the less Rico the better).

Hopefully within those 70mins of cutscenes, Rico dies.... with as little honour as possible...

I never liked Killzone 2, far too repetitive and nothing new in the game compared to the other FPS out at the time I bought it.

Though I do love a good single player story so I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

As much as I loved Killzone 2, I think that's a very fair criticism of the game about it lacking innovation. I think the thing about Killzone 2 though was that it took things from what had gone before and refined them. The game won awards for AI, the graphics and art design, which I think are the great strengths of the game. I think videogames by their very nature are repetitive, it's whether they're fun that matters, and I thought Killzone 2 was a lot of fun (the nail gun, the arc lightning, commanding a mech etc). The multiplayer was also fantastic.

Killzone 2 was pretty much been there, done that and done it way better for me as well from what I played. Might just pick it up anyway since it's 15 euros I think.

Playing through it again atm (never finished the last fight last time), it's enjoyable enough, alot of very annoying moments though, sometimes you just feel as if your just playing it for the sake of playing it.

Do it! At least you might actually finish it (I'm looking at YOU Wolfie! :pac:)

I think I'll start playing KZ2 online again for a while in the run up to KZ3, maybe some of the old Boards clan would like to get in a few games? If we do you should play with us Retr0, tis a blast.

Retr0gamer

I wouldn't mind. Might be a while before I'm back in town to pick up a copy though.

Ah I'm sure I can arrange something, anything for you Retr0.

They have some new twists in the game, it does seem like they are looking at MAG and trying to integrate more team play and objectives. No harm taking from one of the best FPS out there.

I enjoyed K2 but at the end of the day its a FPS how new or innovative can you really make it?

Grayditch

I loved KZ2. I killed most people in the single player with the knife, haha. I loved the multiplayer. This is a day 1 purchase for me.

WarZoneBrother

I want Killzone 2 now badly ... Feck my poor life ... Anyways anyone know if the collectors edition would be worth it? It's down for 50 pound on game.co.uk... I wouldnt mind the helghast edition but does it only include the helghast head extra than the collectors edition?

Retr0gamer

I'm pretty sure the normal game is 15 in smyths at the moment.

Good idea, I stuck the disc back in over the Christmas break and started where I left off - halfway through in the city on the most difficult setting. That was difficult when I had pretty much forgotten the controls.

I hate that the amount of times ive had a game half finished but forgot all the buttons and im usually stuck on a really hard bit that i couldnt do when i knew what i was doing Had to start Dead Space twice because of this.

Think ill go back for a game of Killzone 2 tonight.

Grayditch

I'll have to give up every other FPS while playing this. It's a difference pace altogether. I could jump between MAG and MW2, but not KZ2 this and anything else.

Varik

How much is the Helghast edition and where.

According to Smyth's website they will have it for 129 euro.

WarZoneBrother

Just got Killzone 2 for 10 quid in Xtra-Vision... I will be playing this tonight so message my PSN - cartman91 if you want to play and I will delete someone and add you..

Also would the CE be worth it for 65 quid?

WolfForager

I think so anyway, the steel case looks freakin awesome.

Saw a large pile of Halo reach big edition boxes in game, looked like they were trying to give them away.

100 for a camera on a remote control car not bad, but i have no idea how much one would be normally.

Anyways yeah I think I should get the CE its only going to be an extra 15 and I get loadsa extras..

ISA get their own SMG this time and the assault rifles and SMGs get Suppressor add-ons.
