While this may not come as the biggest surprise in the world, Killzone 2 will be getting downloadable content. Looking at the network features on the back of the US boxart you can see that it clearly states “add-on content”.


Chances are this will be mainly be the usual Map Packs, but you never know, still check back to PlayStation Gamer Uk for the latest news on what this DLC is when we get it.

Dutch pride !

Watch the vid :

Motion blur on a per pixel basis confirmed : See the demonstration of this in the vid : This is why some people mistake to think in some static KZ2 screenshots, that it suffers from blurry low rez textures. Not the case ; in motion, you\'ll see it\'s purely per pixel motion blur post filter effect.

This also explains why some PC gamers do not like the visual style, since they prefer every pixel to be razor sharp ; which, imo.. is a more "game-ish" kind of look opposed to KZ2\'s movie aesthetic motion blur.

Quotes - their goal: cinematic experience. lot\'s of post-processing. they want an analogue look

- motion blur per pixel,
- noise, AA

- spu\'s are the key for optimal performance on the PS3: Deferred Rendering
- they often use all six: for full fire fights, physics, particles, mp3 streams, 7.1 audio, lighting
- they also help to render effects. 40% extra speed thanx to the spu\'s

- guns have to feel realsitic, reactions have to be realistic. hit impact system. every bullet has an effect on the surrounding or people in it
- stacked animations with real time rendered ragdoll.. and yep, blow heads off...

- every polygon has mass and material
- real time ray tracing
- holes are not a flat image of a hole
- collision detection of small particles, even sparks.. icing on the cake. will often go unnoticed while playing by a lot of people.

- 5.1 ambient mp3 streams that rotate when you rotate. on top of that stereo music, 3d sound effects, voices in the right positioning, sound filtering.. all in 7.1 uncompressed sound.

- extreme amount of lightsd. 230 lights in this screen (he\'s showinng the screen). they are proud of this level. impressive
- the robot alone has 8 lights

- tech was developed while making the game.

Did the original Killzone ever come out?

I can\'t remember......

Did anyone actually enjoy the original killzone is the better question.  I\'ll reserve judgment until it comes out but i\'m not holding my breath.

what fps didnt suck balls on those consoles?

theres a reason Call of duty waited till the 360 came out to make a game for console, and why rainbow six and ghost recon were a joke on console up until now

I know KZ2 wont be revolutionary but ill be pretty suprised if it\'s disappointing. if you like FPS\'s and like call of duty, this should fall right in with the crowd. the only thing that kills it is the hype. but luckily im not a sheep and can enjoy a game for what it is

[Living-In-Clip]

Well, I mean, if we want to be honest about it.

Halo got a  lot of rave reviews.
TimeSplitters got a lot of rave reviews.
Timesplitters 2 got rave reviews.
Halo 2 got rave reviews.

Then again - I thought all of the above sucked. Along with Killzone aka "Teh Halo Killer!111!!".

[Viper_Fujax]

i wont touch halo with a 10 foot pole. never understood its popularity

quake is my halo killer..better weapons and it\'s on crack

[Living-In-Clip]

Halo sucks my nuts. I\'d say hairy nuts, but I shave them. Easier on the girls, ya\' know.

Quake...Fuck, yeah. Quake was a great game.

Loved Halo 1 and Timesplitters when they were new.  Can\'t play them at all now (same goes for Goldeneye).

I see the appeal of those games, I didn\'t see the appeal of Killzone.  It was just a darker, muddier, slower version of halo.

Wasn\'t it the tabloid gaming press touting Killzone 1 as "Halo killer", just to add oil to the console war debates ? ...while in fact the gameplay is nothing like it ?

I personally can\'t say for sure since I haven\'t played a Halo, but from previews it seems that Halo is way more twitch reaction based, while KZ2 is slower paced, cover + peek & shoot...

Halo isn\'t really twitch, quake is twitch, unreal tournament is twitch, Halo was that awkward middle-child that didn\'t know what it wanted to be when it grew up.  I\'m talking about the original mind you, haven\'t played the sequels really.

Killzone 1 fell into that category as well.

Killzone 1 multiplayer sucked ass, and really, if you\'re playing  FPS and its not a Valve game, you\'re playing it for the multiplayer.

My review of KZ2:

- 1 for no Co-op
- 1 for no SplitScreen
-.5 for no Fully Customizable Controls
-.5 for being too \'gamey\'
-.5 because I can\'t find a target with all of the awesome stuff happening around me.
-.5 Eight maps is too few.
-.5 Doesn\'t control exactly like COD4
-1.5 for being a PS3 exclusive
-.5 for not having a chainsaw bayonet

Killzone 2:
3.5/10 Poor

Are you happy now? haters :fighting:
