Killzone 2 Demo HD Footage

GamersDigest have published a high definition 720p (1280 x 720) video on their YouTube channel with gameplay footage from the recently released Killzone 2 demo.

The demo itself comes in at 1207MB, and is available on some European PSN stores for everyone, and is on the American PSN store for those with a pre-order voucher.

The demo contains the first two sections of the very first level in the game, 'Corinth River', which is essentially used as the tutorial sequence in the full game.

Nonsense 4 Gamers5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

Why do they have things like this? Just go play the demo yourself! Pre-order KZ2 from GameStop for $5 or get it from the UK store. This is like "_____.com is giving away free KillZone 2 demo codes"

Just play the demo for yourself and you will see the amazing graphics and the fun gameplay.

Cronnie5558d ago

Well maybe not everyone who watched this video can play the demo themselves? It isn't like your being forced to watch the video, you clicked on the article knowing what it was...?

christian hour5558d ago

Exactly, like people like me. My PS3 is currently in a mates gaff and I've no way of playing the demo until I get it back off him in college on monday :( But I might just wait until its out in stores and let him enjoy the ps3 for a little while longer :P

I've got my 360 to keep me company until then. But damn I really do wish I was playing the demo :(

Baba19065558d ago

awsome demo!. cant wait to get the game.

Fishy Fingers5558d ago

Yup, I must of blasted through it about 30 times so far. Love it.

Interested to know what build it's taken from, seems some where between the beta and the retail. But I dont think it's final build or anything.

Cronnie5558d ago

Well the game did go gold a while ago, so the final build will be near identical to this, might be a few minor code changes but we probably won't notice ;)

Kufi-5558d ago

Its a Demo from 2008.final Build will be better becouse of BlueRay.
There wont be LowRes textures in Final build.

Mc Fadge5558d ago

And load times will be longer, as it's not running off the HDD. I really love the demo though, playing it non-stop :D

Dont watch.. PLAY! Freaking amazing

Sean Ryno5558d ago

I am not a fanboy of any system. I wish I could play Killzone2, but I'm not made of money and I have other priorities.

But haven't we had enough articles like this. These articles are clogging up the site and are detrimental to it's future success.

What's next?: "Killzone2 Level 5 part 2 in HD Download Now!", "Killzone2 HD footage of ______ multiplayer level, this time online with other players!!", "Killzone2 graphics so good they will melt your brain and then blow the pile of goo up with a frag!"

Seriously, I'm not hating on the game, just these "News Articles".

BTW:Super-Hyping a game can be dangerous. >cough< Spore >cough<.

gano5558d ago

Have people really forgotten about halo md.
And this is not even sony promoting it. It's that
good.

Y post in articles u don't care about.

CyberCam5558d ago

You should type in any game in the youtube search & you'll get a ton of gameplay videos (even game demos). If your sick of these videos, then why don't you type "Halo Wars Demo" in the youtube search for something different then? Or you could take gano's advice and skip any article to do with Killzone 2, that way you don't have to respond to another Killzone 2 thread.

It just seems like the common sense thing to do, if you're so sick of the Killzone 2 Demo threads.

TheMART5558d ago

Disagree, COD4 is still better in my opinion and COD6 will be FPS of the year 2009.

But its a descent, good shooter with some great effects of dying enemies and good explosions. Overall a game like Gears 2 has a more special feeling to it although Gears is 3rd person in the shooter part it still has the upper hand in overall experience. Although the AI in KZ2 looks solid.

Sir Ken_Kutaragi5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

The Demo goes into my Favourite Demos of all Time -

MGS1 on PS1 ;-P (What a Demo!!!)
TimeSplitters 2 on PS2 ;-P (Played it 1 Billion Times)
MGS2 on PS2 ;-P (That ship!!!That Rain!!!)
KillZone 2 on PS3 ;-P (WOW!!WOW!!WOW!!Everything was right...it was the 1st TRUE Looking FPS...F**K the 'i didn't like this' 'i didn't like that' SAD Haters!!!) ;-D

fafoon5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

have you finished Gears 2
just asking
Because checking you Gamertag you played it
Got about 4 or 5 achievements
and you aint ever been Back to the Game
Infact all the games you play on your Xbox are like that
out of all the games you boast about on here you aint even finished
And you got the nerve to give your onesided BoT opinion on what you think will be the Best Shooter this year
And you say "Gears 2 has a more special feeling to it"
How do you know
You aint Finished It
So Take your opinion somewhere else it aint Credible

lokiroo4205558d ago

Mart on behalf of everyone on this site, thank you for being such easy target practice. ONly once in a while does a box boy such as yourself put his retarded thoughts out there so willingly, and actually believe them to be worthwhile and insightful. So pull your hair back out of the way and keep bobbing on sony's knob.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro48d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7248d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_48d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga48d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2348d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200049d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin49d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole49d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix49d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198949d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198949d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor353d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar353d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg352d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149352d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138353d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim353d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC353d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138353d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle353d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76353d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM352d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger352d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca353d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal352d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright352d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183724d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183724d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149724d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
