Got my greasy mitts onto the demo off playsation store today, it clocks in at a little over 1GB download so for people on slower connections, might just have to wait… but let me tell you all that Killzone 2 is setting a benchmark for all next-gen FPS games that quite frankly may never be beaten… lets discuss, shall we sits down ok!
- the graphics are a solid 10/10 with aperture effects being used so, so, so well, the rendering is smooooooth, and i mean velvety-er than liquid velvet…
- combat is off the hook, there is an imeasurable amount of action going on at any given time with about 500 more helghast than in killzone in each area, that said the ocmbat is very manageable and doesnt overwhelm, also it has a lot of great “set-piece” action opportunities
- the movement between player controlled sequences and ‘oberver’ sequences is seemless and there is a great moment where you help your team mate climb up a wall, doesnt sound much but the animation is great for these moments…
- shading is beautiful, voice acting convincing…
so yeah, guys and gals, pick it up ASAP, well worth the price of admission and shooting a guy in the head and hearing “yeeeap, you're cleaning that one up” from a NPC team mate is always classy
