GC 2008: New Killzone 2 footage shows game is 'pre-beta'

by Ross Miller { Aug 21st 2008 at 7:30AM }

While not as high quality as the falsified chat multiplayer trailer, the Kizzy Dos (remember, that's our nickname for Killzone 2) footage from Leipzig GC 2008 above does reveal that the game is now in pre-beta. When we last saw the game about a month ago at E3, K2 was rocking a pre-alpha build. We're happy to see the game progressing smoothly, even if we have to wait until February to play the final build. Here's to hoping developer Guerilla Games follows in the footsteps of its peers and opens a public beta for the game.

This game will look great on my black and white TV.

Jack of No Trades 85 @ Aug 21st 2008 8:00AM

This game is looking fantastic. Can't wait for it.

@Turkish Superman

Stick with Captain Rainbow. I hear it has tons of non-realistic fantasy colors that you will enjoy.

NoRedRingsForMe @ Aug 21st 2008 8:11AM

this game will piss all over Gears of War 2,3,4,5 and 6
altogether.

Jevanzz @ Aug 21st 2008 8:18AM

I don't think you realize how many fan boys you just pissed off, they're gonna be as angry as lions with sore asses.

Jack of No Trades 85 @ Aug 21st 2008 8:22AM

They both will be good you wack-job.

Drew @ Aug 21st 2008 8:26AM

@ Jack. I think you mean "all" not "both"

Frosty22 @ Aug 21st 2008 8:27AM

Totally different games with totally different gameplay. Do you own Sony or Guerilla stock? Are you afraid that if Sony doesn't sell as many games as Microsoft, that Sony will collapse and no longer be in the gaming business? Just curious!

I for one, am looking forward to both KZ2 and GW2.

deaftly @ Aug 21st 2008 9:28AM

how is this guy not banned yet?!?

Maylon @ Aug 21st 2008 12:51PM

Can we just somehow get this person banned? Just for being super obnoxious.

TheAzureKnight @ Aug 21st 2008 9:51AM

@ deaftly

Why?

Just because he disagrees with you and he's talking sh*t about Gears of War?

Personally I don't agree with him at all but he's entitled to say what he wants regarding the game. He may be a sony fanboy but that's his choice.

deaftly @ Aug 21st 2008 10:17AM

dude, just look at his comment history. Its beyond trolling.

Vcize @ Aug 21st 2008 10:32AM

Azure, go look at the guy's post history.

Killjebus @ Aug 21st 2008 12:16PM

What this guy is doing is not even as bad as some of the other resident anti-Sony assclowns like PremierAsshat or the 2006,7 Fernandos.

So what if he pokes some fun at another game or machine. Now, if he keeps doing the same thing month after month with no new material, then I could see the complaining.

Gears, R2, and KZ2 will sell millions of copies and it will show developers that games that require skill from the gamers and time, money, and SKILL from the developers are still worth it for publishers.

NRRFM,

mix it up with your banter/bashing...make with the funny or I will fart in your general direction.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 21st 2008 12:20PM

I don't know Noredringsforme name reminds me more of Onion rings than the RROD but crap he is trolling with a passion and failing because even as a x360 fanboy I don't feel slightly offended with his comments. Is amusing to see something wasting his time like that.

Vcize @ Aug 21st 2008 2:17PM

Jebus, Premiere has been banned like 16 times so that's a pretty poor example as to why this guy shouldn't be.

Fernando has as well, and really his stuff pales in comparison in terms of trollishness because at least he's generally touching on actual topics of conversation rather than just "LOLZ UR ALL GONA GETZ THE RED RINGZ CUZ UR DOOSHES LOLZIES!!"

phinn @ Aug 21st 2008 2:46PM

But come on thats not hard, freakin Eden is better than GoW1. GoW2 looks a lot better but I'm sure SOCOM will be just as fun online. And this game will blow it away.

FOXHOUND @ Aug 21st 2008 8:46AM

Here's hoping there will be some sort of pre-order bonus...
I'm going to be torn on which FPS to play on a nightly basis between this, RESISTANCE2, MGO, and PC sessions of TEAM FORTRESS2. :d

LAZoftheTamarinds @ Aug 21st 2008 9:09AM

Looks freaking fantastic. I can't wait to play it and also play Resistance 2.

The FPS's look awesome.

j.howlett @ Aug 21st 2008 9:28AM

did someone see Roots before giving it that nickname? now i'm thinking of that movie every time the game comes up.

TheAzureKnight @ Aug 21st 2008 9:30AM

Lol so mediocre...

Just another average FPS.

Stockpile @ Aug 21st 2008 9:36AM

What game do you play? I bet its just another average game, as it seems that you bastards are so hard to please lately. What's that? Pfft, just another RTS. That? Just another FPS. That? Well thats just another racer.

So instead of coming up with an original argument, you take the road that everyone else in this damn world takes. It makes you sound like you have played the ultimate games while everyone else is left in the dark.

So tell us, what ultimate game are you playing? You know, the one where the genre has never been seen and the graphics blow your mind...

Agathos @ Aug 21st 2008 9:51AM

Lol so trollish...

Just another average teen or sad pathetic life adult on the Internet.

Back to the comments, I'm just as excited for this along with Gears2, and Resistance 2, it's great to be a multi-conole owner!

Jfk Aok @ Aug 21st 2008 10:22AM

Generally to make a game you at least have to have some IDEA or CREATIVE CONCEPT of some sort. This game...I've yet to see something that I haven't seen a million times before. Even COD4, Crysis, GOW and Halo had 4 or 5 good ideas to it that pulled it away from everything else. No, none of them reinvented the wheel, but it least it had something.
This game is gorgeous but man, the style is extremely cliche, the gameplay looks like an after thought, there's nothing to it.
It's like the developers said "hey, we wanna make an fps." Then, they just started making it with hopes that a concept for the game will just happen in the process of making it. That's not how it works.

In other words, if you don't have an idea for a story, put the pencil down and brainstorm a bit longer. You can't throw money at it and expect genius to come out.

Vcize @ Aug 21st 2008 10:36AM

While it was a trollish comment, to be fair I'm not exactly sure why KZ2 is being hyped up as this automatic triple A title that is considered AAA until proven otherwise rather than the other way around (considered average until proven otherwise) given what it is, an extremely hyped up sequel to an extremely hyped up game that ended up being only mediocre itself.

Run-on sentence ftw.

Vidikron (FU) @ Aug 21st 2008 11:15AM

Blah, blah, blah, PS3. That's pretty much sums up the intent of most of these posts.

Killjebus @ Aug 21st 2008 12:23PM

"This game...I've yet to see something that I haven't seen a million times before."

So the never been done b4 lean and peek cover system and the advanced lighting using differed rendering is NOT new?

Why does a game have to change everything to be good? And, how much more innovation can you expect from FPS?

If you can critique this game for bringing nothing new to the genre then Einstien....what BRILLIANT ideas that will revolutionize the FPS genre do you have?

SixStringAddict @ Aug 21st 2008 3:36PM

I love how you said KZ2 is unoriginal and then go and use GOW as a game that is. LoL

Haggard @ Aug 21st 2008 10:57PM

To be fair, if the game didn't have the graphics, what would it have?

Dadidito @ Aug 21st 2008 10:12AM

I am going to be so poor. This is really annoying. Gonna have to cancel that trip to Disney this year.. :) need to pay for all the games Im getting. "Sorry kiddies, Daddy can't take you to Disneyworld... too busy playing Gears of War, Resistance and Killzone...but hey you still have the Disney channel."

j/k btw. :) Wife sometimes reads these blogs :)

Vcize @ Aug 21st 2008 10:40AM

www.goozex.com
www.gamefly.com

are all your friends. Putting even a little bit of effort into it you can play all those games for under 20 bucks, and the entire fall lineup of 10+ great games for around $100.

Chuckie Go-Lucky @ Aug 21st 2008 10:36AM

yawn.

All I see is another high-resolution scene of unrealistic combat with all the body awareness of a bouncing pod with a barrel on it.. and some annoying guy barking at you occasionally. I am sure it looks great if you know or expect nothing about authentic combat.

Mirror's Edge and Far Cry 2 look far more interesting.

Killjebus @ Aug 21st 2008 12:27PM

Thank you for your NEVER BEEN SAID before EVER,ever ever, ever, comment about KZ2.

JAY JAY @ Aug 21st 2008 10:38AM

The Games' L@@kin smooth so far.

fred @ Aug 21st 2008 11:22AM

Did that guy just kill his own team mate around the middle there?

What a douche.

colinbell @ Aug 21st 2008 11:32AM

For those actually interested in the game, rather than coming here just to pass inane negative comments, a fabulous article on the multiplayer - seems like a different team worked on multi, and its looking even more exciting than the single player now.
