Killzone 2 uses the SIXAXIS while you use your sniper

PS3-Sense writes "The open beta of Killzone 2 kicked off a few weeks ago and this also means we are getting some more information about the game. The SIXAXIS controller also has its integration in the game but then on a special kind of way. If you are using your sniper in Killzone 2 you need to keep your controller 'steady' to get a nice and good aim. If you move the controller, your sniper will be dancing across your screen."

[PoSTedUP]

think that heavenly sword has the best use of the sixaxis to date, even though i love the sixaxis for flying around in warhawk, heavenly sword is just epic, ah man i love that game.

[Fishy Fingers]

Ah, I still remember the first time I picked up a dead body and throw it slo-mo style with the Sixaxis. Good times. Shame there was no multiplayer, could of had a lot of fun throwing with friends :)

[callahan09]

This is a cool feature. It makes good sense.

[shingo]

I swear this is a ****** excellent game. The gameplay IS just as epic as the graphics and sounds. For the first time in ages, I turn off my PS3 and get that urge of missing a game so bad and wanting to go back to play it. SERIOUS, REAL FUN. Guerilla Games has done something very astonishing to the PS3. Day 0 purchase! :D

[NO_PUDding]

No, Folklore has the best Sixaxis use.

And there's still tons of games yet to go.

[HighDefinition]

FlOw.

BTW, I can`t wait for FlOwer

[solidt12]

I still play HS sometimes just to use the after touch sixaxis with the crossbow. I love it.

[Real Gambler]

Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Flow, Motorstorm, all great twists. And now this one, which is truly a nice twist as well.

Sadly, we won't see much use in multiplatform, but hopefully, in the future, we should see devs using this feature often. Crossing fingers.

[Irving]

MGS4 has the best use of Sixaxis, bouncing boobs by shaking controller :p

[remanutd55]

am i the only one who thinks ratchet and clank tools of destruction makes the best use of sixaxis till today, i love it in heavenly sword, motorstorm, mgs4,uncharted , not so much in my favorite online multiplayer ps3 game: warhawk.

[Rythrine]

Sixaxis with High Velocity Bowling was pretty clever as well.

[PoSTedUP]

yea that was cool in folklore, but i had much more fun flying arrows into peoples heads multiple times be for they drop in slow motion.

@ real gambler- they use it in most ps3 games, MLB08 the show, folklore, resistance, uncharted etc.

@ remadnt- the ony thing i remember from R&C is when your falling/sky diving you use the 6axis to move out of the way of objects.

[The Matrix]

This is a bad idea. I know I get emotional when I'm about to get a head shot and I want to move the controller in the same direction as the analog stick when I'm aiming.

The sixaxis can be fun to use but not to interfere with normal gameplay.

[remanutd55]

did you really play ratchet and clank tools of destruction or just the demo from psn? cuz if you want to unlock doors in tools of destruction you need to use the sixaxis, you use sixaxis to control the tornado launcher too

[pixelsword]

And Clank's gliding

Not just the HALO jumps and tornado gun.

Seriously, though; the aftertouch in Heavenly Sword is the best use of motion controls. Even Dark Sector tried to emulate it.

[masterofpwnage]

wow thats kool.

i thought at first it will suck wen i read the title
but wen i actually read it its pretty kool
know its up to u to keep the sniper steady

sweet

[Panthers]

That is cool. If the sixaxis was more accurate and tight, I would say do that with all the guns crosshairs.

[thor]

Another great use of sixaxis. Other good examples:

MGS4 - if you got too excited when hiding and you shook your controller up and down, your octocamo would turn off and you'd get spotted.
R&C - loads of minigames and litle things that really make a novel use of sixaxis.
Heavenly Sword - I thought this was really well done, even if it got a bit irritating at times.

This is probably the best use I've seen.

[Tacki]

While I only played the demo, I do think Folklore used the sixaxis controls rather well. Though most of the time I think developers just tack on these motion controls. It's nice to see GG using it in what seems to be an interesting way. As long as it doesn't making aiming a real chore.

That sniper rifle in Killzone 2 is crazy good too. I don't know if that have different damage settngs in the beta but I've seen footage where one shot takes down opponents regardless of where they're hit. Seems like it could be a little TOO good... but then again I'm not in the beta. Maybe someone who is could share their thoughts on the game's sniper weapon?

[thor]

Yep forgot about Folklore, there's another excellent use for sixaxis.

I'm not in the KZ2 beta, but I believe that KZ2 has an actual health system (shocking I know) so that the person who got shot in the leg or whatever and died might have had low health to begin with.

Warhawk has a 1-shot-kill-anywhere sniper rifle, but that's fair because it's so hard to use.

[sinncross]

u cud also do the MGS4 thing during cutscenes... thats always cool :)

and Folklore was quite clever, but from what ive gathered in Killzone 2 the sixaxis is being used in cool ways.

First using the controller to turn valves, and now used to steady aim.

This is exactly how the sixaxis was meant to be used.. to compliment game play, not control it.

[xhi4]

this game just keeps on getting better and better........... ITS SO FRUSTRATING LOL

[Bren86]

I didn't notice this in the beta

[Firstkn1ghT]

If you have shaky hands when playing video games you need to see a doctor. ;)

[SonyOwnsNextYear]

LMAO that you still havent grown up, or bought yourself a ps3.

Get a job, immature kid.

[ultimolu]

...What do you have against the PS3 Knight?
Seriously, WHAT?

[The Matrix]

Um guys...I see in NO WAY that Knight is insulting the PS3. He just made a funny comment. Calm down.

[likedamaster]

@the matrix

It's a perfect example how pathetically defensive fanboys can be.

[Dino]

relax retards, he's making a comment about having shaky hands, he's not insulting your "girlfriend". Man you dudes are seriously damaged individuals. I look on the posts to see what interesting things people may be typing about and I'm thankful not all of it is as senseless and pathetic as you sony and microsoft "stockholders". STFU

[Twiky]

I think this can work out!

Heavenly sword used it well and lets not forget Folklore that made me look crazy moving the controller around!! That was a very good idea also!

I really hope this fits fine.

[Fruit Loops]

I think of it as you dont need to hold your breath(COD4) and you don't have a steady shot to begin with(Other Generic FPS's) It's pretty much your skill, so I find that quite interesting.

[NickIni]

Incredible.

Can't wait for this game. Going to pre order it soon :)

[Kush_Reaper]

Sounds like KZ2 is becoming quite the emersive title :)

[solidt12]

yep it is a true tech piece for the PS3.

[kesvalk]

really good, altough it could backfire if they make it too sensitive, as you move the controller slightly every time you press a button or move the analog stick, but i think it will not be a problem...

hope more games makes use of the Sixaxis in a creative way such as KZ2...

[krisq]

... i think that's exactly the point! It makes every sniper shot very skill based :)

[solidt12]

it's gonna make sniper shots even more rewarding.

[kesvalk]

it can become a chore, this is what i mean...

[Xbox Street Gang]

Wow. I did not think these type of graphics were possible in this generation of games. Sony keeps impressing me.

Anyways, back to Tenchu Z...

[Kleptic]

agreed...had I never heard of the game or what system is was releasing on before...someone could have said "check this out, its a launch title for the xbox 720/PS4"...and I would have believed them...

[The Matrix]

This is a bad idea. I know I get emotional when I'm about to get a head shot and I want to move the controller in the same direction as the analog stick when I'm aiming.

The sixaxis can be fun to use but not to interfere with normal gameplay.

[akaFullMetal]

killzone is so fun, im in the beta, and it is so great. The controls and speed of the characters and the atmosphere is awesome. The sixaxis i haven't unlocked the sniper quite yet, but can't wait to try it out.
plus warhawk is sweet with sixaxis, i can't play without it.

[kiikoooo]

they haaaaaaave to make heavenly sword 2 .. its EPIC..
or atleast throw nariko in there with kratos.. they cant just cancel it

anyway im still waiting to get into the betaa ... hopefully im ill be in the next phase

[demoneyeslaharl]

I didn't like it too much. I thought it needed a lot more polish. But its a solid fighting game with some real cool use of the sixaxis.

[Miraak82]

Ha you could jiggle roses Ta Ta's in MGS4 W/ sixaxis

[Fishy Fingers]

Ha, yeah that makes Snakes stress go down and his accuracy improve. Fun and useful :)

[Irving]

I think GRAW 2 also had this feature where you could fine tune sniper aim with Sixaxis.

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

its a shame that not a lot of thought goes into it... I would like to see great sixaxis support in the same way the wii mote is to mario galaxy... it will never happen though because mario galaxy kinda defines motion controles with its GREATNESS

[MaJiKaLL]

Uncharted? i think it was pretty cool on throwing grenades? high velocity bowling? that was awesome aswell!

[Alcohog]

Old.

[SeanScythe]

That would explain why it was moving so bad, I picked up the rifle last night and got two kills with it but, I didn't notice it was me moving the thing around. Good to know.

[topblood]

you cant use cover in multiplayer but you can in single player. wow very next-gen.

[DJ]

I'm in the Beta, and it only takes a few accurate rounds to kill someone. They actually took it out due to complaints from Phase 1 beta testers, who felt that the single-player feature was leading to too many cheap kills AND added little protection since enemies can come at you from behind.

It's perfectly fine for Single Player and Multiplayer to have differing feature sets, such as the perk system in COD4.

[she00win99]

video taping your sister in my HD camera while i was fingering her is very next gen..

[Killjoy3000]

She00win, that was pretty funny, but completely uncalled for. Those are the kind of things you save for PSN.

[Kleptic]

if you played the game, which you haven't...you would immediately understand how the cover system wouldn't work...there is a lot of vertical advantages to the maps...making a cover system pointless...not to mention it would have completely slowed the gameplay down...and created objective camping ( a problem when you only have 3 minutes to get something done)...

right now its set up like CoD 4 on crack...only without the cheap perks (martyrdom might be the single lamest thing in a shooter to date, considering there is no team killing in regular modes)...with double the players...when you have 31 other players on screen, and you are trying to beeline the enemies and not your friends...and everyone is rushing around with guns blazing...you don't have time to be getting into cover and gears of warring it...

there is a reason (aside from the technical side) that Gears 2 doesn't have 32 players...it has 10...when you only have 5 other players to be concerned about...moving slow and camping behind cover is a realistic option...when you have 16 that can surround you in seconds...its pointless...

[Foliage]

I suggest you play the game before making comments about gameplay.

Gears' cover system worked in multi-player because you usually fought in 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 battles. Not to mention it is a TPS game.

Killzone 2 has way too much going on at a time. You need to always worry about being shot in the back. It is also a freaking FPS game. In Gears despite being in cover you could still have an easy view because of the camera location. It was very unrealistic since there was no real disadvantage for taking cover. In Killzone it relies on realism more because it is an FPS game.

[Finalfantasykid]

Wow thats actually a really cool use of the sixaxis.

[topblood]

wow you seem like a scum bag. i dont even have a sister you wasteman.

come to london and you will see what im bringing for you. you wasteman.

[she00win99]

ohhh! what happen, did i hit a nerve?

[topblood]

your those people who just bumlicks games. wow you taking a game so seriously. wow you have no life and come to london if you think you so bad getting rude on the internet forums

[she00win99]

lol! relax man i think you having a heart attack, maybe Cliff Bleszinski can calm you down, i heard he like 15-year old f@ggots like you..

[y0haN]

Sixaxis is good when it's well-done (eg Uncharted) but it's a female dog/nuisance to use in a ton of games (eg GTA4).

[likedamaster]

Ratchet did it pretty good too. Although, I mostly liked it when Ratchet was free-falling. It felt organic when you controlled it in that way.

[CornWithHair]

LOCOROCO PPL!!! 8)

[Briyen]

is my favorite, looking at my co-op players with my sackboy is hilarious

and running with my head to teh sky or my head to teh ground if they slapped my buttux

[Maldread]

Hope it`s not too sensible (although i expect you could adjust it or turn it off). Sure would suck to be a epileptic or a nervous person with shaking hands if not hehe ;)

It also has sixaxis turning of valves, even though that seemed a bit strange in terms of the hand movements on screen.

[Diugu]

If you're nervous or shaky.. then sniping is not for you. Just pick a different weapon.

[Maldread]

True. I don`t think you`re the nervous type judging from your avatar though hehe ;)

[shawnsl65]

this is a nice feature, no more people complaining about "cheap ass snipers" now you need a steady hand to really snipe. sWEET!

[uckitsayitchbay]

Awesome... Wonder what M$ will do to copy this?

[likedamaster]

Like Sony copied Nintendo? Who knows. They might, they might not.

[Dino]

you getting kickbacks?

[Viatrophy]

there is a option to turn off the Sixaxis totally.
I'm loving the look of Killzone 2, and I really can't wait for it however I've never liked Sixaxis, ever. Having to hold the controller steady in one place, bugs me a lot as I move a lot while I play.

[Mantiz]

I thought Folklore Was awesome too ( watched my roomate play through it and she loved it) I don't see as it had anything but novel use of the sixaxis, everything could have been done with flicks of whichever stick you weren't moving with, Same with most PS3 Games even Ridiculously good games like uncharted, while games like Ratchet & Clank let me fire a tornado, then switch weapons and control the tornado with the sixaxis while I move about and dodge enemies with the left stick and aim and fire another weapon with the right stick, things like this I think are better implementation of the sixaxis thing that you couldnt do without it.

[theEnemy]

dunno, I just don't feel or liked the SIXAXIS feature on the controllers of the PS3.

[arakouftaian]

N I can say snipin never fells better ohhh n in socom tooo snipin is the best, killzone 2 snipin is soo easy n it fells good but is hard to get the medal for headshots that one of the 5medals I could not get I got 20 in the betta in less than a mount because it was easy n fast know in this opwn beta it take more time but we also get more rewards its nice n in the original game I'm sure it will be even biger n harder to get all the class n medals is a verry smart move from GG n yeah snipin get better in killzone because it make you focus on not movin ur hand n it help so you focuz more n aim better killzone2 is just the Best

[Horny]

i love six axis support on socom. Its awesome how I can just tilt my controller down and my character ducks behind cover. Then flick it up and pop the b!tch running towards me. I recommend putting motion sensitivity all the way up btw.

[Dino]

I should read the directions. I knew you could use it to lean.

[Horny]

yup get behind cover and tilt down, its very useful, your a lot harder to spot

[Dino]

it worked pretty well

[Gantrfaxx]

That seems interesting.
I would also like to have to use sixaxis for aiming when sniping, that could be great if implemented correctly.

[Lord Vader]

"if implemented correctly"

Key words. Surely they will have an option to turn this off. Sounds like fun in the story mode, but it would have to very, very accurate to work in MP.

Sounds cool though.

[Billabong]

If it were able to be switched on or off I'm guessing they would only allow that in single player, so people in online wouldn't have advantages (as it would be easier to hit someone without the SIXAXIS on). They might just leave it out of multiplayer, although it could work really well if there is no lag or any problems.

[n4gzz]

I hope they have option to hold aim instead of toggle. I hate toggle.

[shawnsl65]

you mean the zoom? i like the R2 zooming mechanism on the snipers.. very comfortable.
