Things You May Not Have Noticed In The Killzone 2 Demo

EU PS3 Blog writes: We've played the Killzone 2 demo more times than we care to mention. That means upwards of 5! And, just for you lucky, lucky people, here is a list of thing you may not have noticed while blasting those red-eyed baldies.

[Hellsvacancy]

I didnt notice that

[andron]

I spent some good time blowing up every gas container I saw, destroying the table inside the office. When you blast the chairs there they emit feathers.

I must play it again and try that gun. It's sooo long until the game comes out...

[shadowghost752]

me too, i spend ages shooting containers and watched spin around and then exploding, absolutely great

[TheColbertinator]

Yeah I found the hidden gun as well.It fires like the M1 Garand from World War II

[redsquad]

I actually got that on the first play through, but the single-shot rifle didn't really work for me in this particular section (Too close quarters)

[xT-Virusx]

that you can decapitate Helhgans by shooting them in the neck point blank with the shotgun!

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Me getting stiff!!! ;-o

Not sure if anyone Noticed this -
Before you play the Demo, open your Windows(Er House Windows, not M$ Windows!!!) ;-D and start up the Demo, start playing it and you can hear the sound of Millions of xBot Zombie DLC Lemmings CRYING!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

[thereapersson]

Facking hilarious, dude...

[olivia]

lol

[Magic_The_Celt]

LMAO!

[NegativeCreep427]

Just for the fact that their mommys and daddys won't go out and buy them a Playstation 3 and a copy of Killzone 2.

Poor little trolls are going to be left out of all the action. Too bad really. I would have loved to kill and tea-bag all those annoying idiots online with Killzone 2.

[dukadork2]

tough times for xb!tches

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Thank you my Loyal Disciples;)
I hope you enjoy my Vision of the Future...KillZone 2!!! ;-P

+ WOW!!! No??? Disagrees yet??? They must be CRYING HARD!!! ;-D

[xT-Virusx]

I got so stiff my pen15's pen15 got stiff

[robo3687]

i like that if you shoot too many of your own guys...even by accident....one of your guys kills you...

[gamesmaster]

hey another cool thing i noticed, when garza goes down hurt i ran over to heal him, next to us at the time was a red gas canister. just as i go to heal him i hear one of the helgast shout aim for the container and then boom they blow it up right next to us!! it didnt kill me but it put garza back down!?!

give it a try stand next to container and see what they do.

[gta2800]

That's f'n awesome. I'm gonna try it. I love how they run away from the grenades. I threw one in a group of like 6 of them and they all scattered and took cover! And when they take cover they will shoot with their backs on cover and they only pop out when they don't hear any gun fire from you. They also throw grenades a lot(which I love. Means you will have to move from cover to cover. Makes it more challenging). Their accuracy is also pretty good from up close(I've played so many FPS's where you get close and the enemies still miss!). Get too close to at least 2 Helghast and you're sure to get taken out. The AI is gonna make this game much more awesome that it already is for me. Also, the way the Helghast sound and the sh*t they say also makes them more badass!

[Mc Fadge]

Find the toilet paper? :D

[Maldread]

No i didn`t, and although it will sound as a strange (and somewhat disgusting) question, where is the toilet paper ? ;)

[Mc Fadge]

I don't know what the circumstances for it occuring are, and I've only had it happen once. However, if you destroy the wooden crate underneath the stairs just after you take the lift, there's a whole bunch of toilet paper rolls inside :D

[Maldread]

Hehe ok. I`ve only found grenades there, but maybe it changes from time to time then ;)

[PhilipLarkin]

Where's the toilet paper?

Plus, with the other gun, you can take heads clean off

[xaviertooth]

lol sir_ken!

[sugard0]

I didnt know about the Wind in the game, although sometimes I can feel see the bullets missing the targets slightly when I shoot from really long range when I am outside, but in the warehouse it easier. THIS GAME = PURE AND UTTER PWNAGE

Oh yea, and the blood is scarily realistic!

[Lombax]

This gets passed as news?!?

Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on the article. I like learning new stuff about an awesome game. Even if its just a demo.

It's just that my forum post about shooting the propane/gas tanks in weird places to get them to slide across the floor and twirl up in the air got locked.

But an article about watching flags and dust is A OK good news?? WTF? Damn forum Nazis! >.>

[SCThor]

what would you prefer?

[sugard0]

Did anyone else notice that when you walk you leave black footprints behind you in the game. Check it out, its cool

[Mc Fadge]

It's a nice touch

[TrevorPhillips]

I use alternate 2 its very good and i put the sensitivities on high

[magicman0]

same here, it resembles the COD4 type controller which i really admire.

[Mc Fadge]

And it's really, really, REALLY obvious!

Using your standard rifle, look at the end of it. See that pretty, round iron sight? Now aim.... OH MY GOODNESS

[thereapersson]

:(

I kind of wish I would have pre-ordered at Gamestop. I ordered on Amazon to save a few bucks, but now a part of me thinks the few dollars I saved would have been worth spending to get demo access.

[Lombax]

Just make a new account and say you live in the UK all u need is a different email and you're in.

Enjoy :)

[Buttons]

That's what I did. I preordered from Amazon for $52 and the free home costume and just made a UK account.

I know, I'm a cheap arse.

[dragunrising]

For some reason I thought that "out of region" PSN accounts got locked; created a UK account the other day. Already played the demo 5 times... :-)

[godkiller]

Ignore8 - EDGE ARE GONE
When edge had slatted killzone2 and GIVE GOOD SOLID REASONS WHY?But like there rushed resi2 review not even half a page,i urge everybody that hates reviewers that are soooo far up there own butts ,they cannot see the woods from the trees.
BOYCOTT EDGE,AND THERE WEBSITE.

Be very interesting if i had a time machine and killzone2 was multiplat,mmm wonder what they all say then mmmmm.
But time traval is fantasy!=example,if i went back in time ,and killed my mother,how the hell could i be born to do it in the first place?? mmm paradox.... c u in the zoneeee psn mr chaptem"ranked number 1 cod4 till i got bored"""...

pps dont forget once multiplayer kicks off,like the beta,the reviwers should give it anouther point,BECUASE THEY BLOODY CANNOT PROPERLY REVIEW THE MULTIPLAYER YET!!!!!.

[heyheyhey]

upwards of 5? weak... i've played the demo 14 times through and loved every playthrough more than the last

anyone complaining about the excellent controls and calling them "sluggish" has either not played it or is a desperate 360 fanatic clutching at straws... i find them more enjoyable than COD, the weight is SO immersive

[m-s-8-2]

I have played it, and they are sluggish. It might be something that you can get accustomed to, however. What is inexcusable is the fact that they dont allow you to remap the buttons. It's 2009 for gods sake.

[harshtruth]

the controls are perfect once you get used to them

[magicman0]

but atleast they have different types of controller layouts. I find Alternative 2 the best.

[dragunrising]

I appreciate the original layout. I figure...if you want to play COD, play COD. As a purist I appreciate the layout that was intended for the game. Great that there is an option though. Love the physics.

[gta2800]

I played it like 10 times so far. And I can already see my self popping noobs online come Feb 27. To be honest, I got used to the controls the first time I played it. Of course, the first thing I did was change the controls to alternate 2. But that doesn't matter. Point is within the first time I played it I had already gotten used to it. I noticed the slow responsiveness from the start but I then realized how much better it made the game play. It actually feels like you're using a human. Rather than having a gun floating around the screen that feels like a plastic gun. I'm not the best FPS guy out there. But the people who have been complaining about the controls are just two types of persons. Like you stated, either 1. A xbox fan boy looking for reasons to take some shine away from KZ2. Or just a straight up noob that's used to playing the fake FPS with the plastic gun feel. There's nothing wrong with the game. It's all on you. If that was the case, everyone would suck at Killzone 2. So you noobs explain to the people who have mastered the controls and were getting good scores in the beta. It's no ones fault you noobs are too slow to get used to these controls. If you can't, then go play your Halo, COD4 or whatever the hell you play.

[OOG]

my personal issue with the game is the input lag which I hope they do fix.... the weight etc are fine...

[WildArmed]

I find the controls amazing.. and the feeling of weilding the gun statisfying.
Also, i think the Alternate 2 settings are more better for online vs offline.
Offline gaming is better with orignal settings ^^

[zerox505]

i killed garza one time in the demo and riocs like "its on now huto!" and start shooting me...

WTF IS A HUTO

[thereapersson]

Heh, that is pretty funny...

And I'm pretty sure he said "Puto", but the sound effects got lost in the action

[EnglishPatriot]

Is it me or do the Helghast, the one's talking to each other in the warehouse just as you enter it sound like there from England?

[PirateThom]

Yes, they all have English accents. I pointed it out to a friend the other day, like all Hollywood action films, the bad guys are either Russian or English.

[magicman0]

its not just you... i found that odd too.

[redsquad]

This was true in the first game too; ISA were American (with one sexily voiced Australian lady!) while the Helghast were all English.

It may be stereotypical, but I think it works in this game: If the Helghan grunts were American I don't think they'd sound as menacing.

[dragunrising]

When the Helghast are yelling, the accent isn't as noticeable. I agree that evil/bad characters typically take on an English and/or Russian accent. Funny, although both accents are very distinct. Think for a moment if all the characters spoke as though they were from the American Southwest...I figure that since Vedka and Helghan are cultures and planets apart, any kind of accent wouldn't necessarily be wrong.

[harshtruth]

by the bridge

[gnothe1]

you guys dont need the rocket launcher to destroy the bridge. u can cook a gernade then toss it high up at the containers to blow the bridge also. i did it a few times an never used the rocket launcher!! try it out!

[PirateThom]

You can also just shoot them.

[redsquad]

I use the assault rifle from very far away to blow the bridge - This 'activates' some of the attacking Helghast up on the cat walks a bit earlier and makes them easier to shoot.

[TABSF]

needs mouse and keyboard support

[redsquad]

I used to love playing the likes of DOOM and HALF-LIFE with that combination, but with the (deliberately) slow speed of SEV in KILLZONE 2 I'm not sure a mouse would work with this game to be honest.

[TABSF]

can agree, with more play it gets easier, i like alternate 2

[sonyjunky279]

hmm the link isnt working for me...

[WeaseL]

When you die the Helghast wave at you & I think your squad does too.

[PirateThom]

They sometimes do.

When I died once, a Helghast was running past, stopped and looked at me, then started running again.

[krouse93]

I'm not completley sure but i think that is for them to signal squad mates to revive them so they dont die.

[yanikins111]

I had one helghast standing over my corpse with his legs apart, pumping the air with both his fists, like a boxer who wins a fight. was hilarious because my other team mates pumped him full of lead...

[mayberry]

When the game ends, just before you go through the door this is what I did! I inched oot very slowly until my sights were able to see my partner. Then I lobbed some grenades and shot a few clips, after a while a helgast form the next level appeared and I killed him! Am I the only one to get a extra kill!?

btw,I tried it some more and he didn't come, so i tried to re-create the first time i did it, and remembered that i ran as far back as possible having fun alone then went to the end door and got him again!

[redsquad]

I got one too!
GARZA went through the 'final' door and got involved in a firefight (I could hear it but not see it) while I was busy blowing up canisters in the warehouse. He then got injured and asked for help, but when I approached the door a Helghan grunt from the next section appeared in my path.

[jBat17]

if you kill 3 teammates before the cutscene, Garza will kill you

[sugard0]

I got through the final door without it darkening and entering the ending movie. What I done was sprint towards the door then started jumping, and i kept jumping, sometimes it lets you go far through the door, sometimes it doesnt. Try it out.

[Shane Kim]

Wow a lot of nice finds. I found one funny thing as well. In the intro, when you're on that flying thing, you can clearly see Natko (the one with big nose and bandana) being in front of you, then when the plane is hit he will transfer next to you and almost instantly be swapped to his original place again.

[lukewind]

I find it really sad that all the fanboys won't admit that the controls are weak in this game. I imagine that the people who say this don't play much in the way of PS3 FPS's. It's not just xbox fanboys saying it. Almost everyone I know who has played the demo has complained about the controls.

This doesn't mean the game is horrible, but Sony fanboys won't admit that Killzone 2 is not the game changer they thought it would be.

Just enjoy that you have a decent exclusive and shut up!

[MerkinMax]

The fact that I blow at COD now, LOL. I can't aim at all after playing the demo for 2 days over and over. This game really is awesome.

[cryymoar]

the famous "SNAKE! SNAAAAAAAAAKE!" they threw in there when you die.
Except your ally sais "SEV! SEEEEEEEEEV!!"

edit: not sure if its in the article because it won't open for me :(

[xTruthx]

The controls where weird at first but after playing it 2 or 3 times they felt really good

[sulack]

I shot the helgast sniper in the first area when he had a Rocket Launcher. He fell over the edge fireing the RL hitting the bridge and blowing it up.. IT WAS TOTALY AWSOME

[singlestrike]

That just MIGHT be the coolest thing I have ever heard. Your testicles must have grown 3,000,000 percent larger after that stunt. I salute you, brother.

[Killa Aaron]

it would be great if KZ2 supported the full custom control setup that Resistance 2 has.

[yanikins111]

what is this res-iss-tance?

[xenovis]

I like the demo, but I am seeing the controller lag others are seeing.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[pansenbaer]

Meh, I haven't been bothered by it. And if you weren't looking to rag on this game, you probably wouldn't notice either. Did you notice his list to the right? He talks about how Killzone 2 lags 10/60ths of a second and then goes on to list other games and how they compare.

* Tony Hawk's Proving Ground: 8/60ths
* BlackSite: Area 51: 8/60ths \
* Halo 3 (Xbox 360) : 8-10/60ths
* Skate: 10/60ths
* GTAIV: 10/60ths

So Halo 3, Skate, and GTA IV all have about the same amount, yet Killzone gets trashed for it?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I thought something didn't feel right!!!

Thank you!

Honestly...as realistic as that is...it would be much more FUN to play it without any LAG.

[pansenbaer]

Can someone post this or PM me the list or something I haven't been able to visit the site all day.

[mattolla]

Yes, Pls
Can somebody post the list. The link is broken.........
Thx.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Alternate link would be great.

I haven't seen it yet...

[BiG_LU]

I don't know if is me hearing things but in the warehouse when u get cover and they already saw u but they just attacking ur partner and you're shooting at them but they still didn't see ya, I listen one of the Helghast warning the other where u r hiding and they start attacking u, let me know if is not me hearing things and by the way I found the article pretty cool cuz he say stuff that I didn't notice like the flags but most of the rest I saw it, I can't wait 4 the game and get me a nice HDTV :-( , sorry if u don't get what I'm saying.

[media73]

I wonder if this game is only awesome because Sony threw everything at it, including its own developers. They knew if this flopped the ps3 would slowly die.
If sony or m$ gave a developer the same resources, money, and time we would have many more wow games coming out.

On a side note, I hate the ps3 controller, really I do I love the 360 pad, is there nay alternatives? Also with a standard pad (Sony cash in again) and no rumble the game feels really weak.

[BiG_LU]

I like the alt.2 with hold 4 aiming, and I don't thing is nothing wrong with the control either is just people making BS cuz they r all noobs, I'm sorry 4 those that can get use to it but that's my opinion cuz I play this demos like 20 or more and I already get use to my setting so I'm ready to kick @$$ online to those that want to add me check my profile, see u in blood, upsss I mean in war lol, later
