Killzone 2 out February 17?

Internet and retailers pinpoint date for Sony's seminal shooter
Update: Sony has told CVG that the reported February 17 release for Killzone 2 still "hasn't been confirmed", but went on to say: "We are still tracking a February release for the UK, though." Update Ends

Killzone 2, one of the most anticipated PS3 games of 2009, will be out on February 17, according to reports.

Sony has yet to announce a precise date, the current official word pencilled in as "February," but a recent GameSpot video blog claims Guerilla Game's flagship shooter will be out on the 17th of the month.

This is backed up by major US retailer, GameStop, which pens the game in for the same date on the pre-order page.

Amazon is saying February 1, though, and Game is sticking to February, so its doesn't yet seem nailed down.

We've contact Sony for confirmation.

That would be a good week of gaming for me then. Street Fighter IV, the GTA IV downloadable content and Killzone 2. Not bad.

<awaits for confirmation, and another delay>

I was really looking forward to this game, but now ill just get it when its cheap and in the sales. COD 5 is the best ffps, if you have that you dont "need" any other fps's.

I will say it looks better then any xbox exclusive although all xbox exclusives are out...
50L1D_5NaK3 on 21 Nov '08
50L1D_5NaK3: I think you should look at some of the new vids and previews (or maybe you have), killzone is a leap forward (from what I have seen), graphically and the gameplay is suppose to be spot on, hit detection all those things that make a FPS great. I agree, COD5 is awsome, but by Feb I will be more than ready for something fresh (after Resistance 2 of course!)

awesome, this and street fighter 4. killzone 2 is gonna be sweet

Hahaha "seminal shooter." Quite a spermy game then is it?
cooljimbop on 21 Nov '08
Excellent! Really looking forward to this now, especially after reading all the positives from the beta testers.

Apparently there is an embargo on any information being leaked regarding the single player portion of the game. This has been said to be lifted on Dec 4th. I've heard rumours, from certain sources, that there are some stunning locations to be shown. One inparticular is a forest level that will alegedly blow us away....

It may even have some green in it.....

yeah i pretty much expect that considerin killzone had a jungle environment and snowy mountain levels, it wont all be dark, gritty and grey like the opening 1st level
chris_ace on 21 Nov '08
If this game scores well i may well considor buying a ps3.


this an msg 4 are in my mind the only 2 games worth getting.

Why bring Halo into it? Killzone 2 should just be a great game, regardless of what came before. And most beta testers are comparing it to a slower paced COD4, with a touch more strategy.

anagi, i cannot deny Kilzone looks great, however i am looking forward to Res 2 far more (60 players online, i mean come on how ace is that) Cod5 is just imence so i see no need to rush out and get Kilzone when i will have Cod Res2.

Again nothing against Killzone, just my opinion.

anyway killzone 2 already has halo 3's number in every department by the looks of it Laughing

I wouldn't call this a 'seminal shooter' at all, that would mean it's highly original, and other than the graphics, there doesn't seem to be anything too original about it...

I don't want to add to this petit fanboism, but it should look better than halo 3, after all halo is now a year old and in gaming terms that's a long time.

Beside this has been one of sonys big hopes for a long time and they've had an awfull long time to get it right, so lets hope it's been worth the wait.

And even the graphics can't really be called original... just a touch better than stuff we've seen before.
Suivatam109PS3 on 21 Nov '08
Why everyone keeps going on about COD5 being class online i don't know,for me it sucks compared to COD4.

This does look good though but looking good and playing good are 2 different things,fingers crossed this will be AAA.

voodoo341 on 21 Nov '08
This poor game doesn't stand a chance after all the hype. Maybe it will get a 10 and be a success but much less and it will be burned at the stake. Too bad fanboys built KZ1 into some Halo killer which it turned out not to be. Now they are making the same mistake on this one.

ingy on 21 Nov '08
If they can improve on the weak points of the first Killzone then it has the potential to be a great game.

The only concern I have is with the gameplay, I played the original and I know it was heralded as Shooter 2.0 but it just didnt do it for me.

Im sure what with the time the Devs have had to spend on the game it will be a cracker but people shouldnt judge those who want to hold for the final product before heralding it as the 2nd coming, we've all been burnt before.

It was nothing to do with fanboys, it was a couple of magazines with 'exclusive' previews headlining it as a 'Halo Killer' to shift units that started all that crap.

Having been hyped into buying the first, I'm definately waiting for reviews of the "Finished Product" till I go anywhere near the second one.

A lot can happen to a game between Beta and finished product, and never underestimate Sony's ability to balls up a product.

I haven't seen anything myself, but an insider (possibly a tester at GG?) has let slip that we haven't seen any of the graphically awesome levels for Killzone 2 yet. The developers have only shown that one level as it was the one that compared to the original CGI debacle.

Thanks Mark240473, well excited at the thought of different level styles as I had actually thought it was all similar to what we have seen already (which I don't mind, its v v good to look at)

Looks alright, blatantly superficial though (you can take the outer layer off things but you'll never be blowing proper holes in walls. Battlefield Bad Comapny, Far Cry 2 and of course Crysis to name but a few have already done destructable environments that look just as good as this if not better.

Point proven. Laughing
Mogs on 21 Nov '08
Not entirely true, I loved battlefield BC and its destructible environments, but they were still pretty scripted in that you could never completely destroy something - I wasn't expecting any of this is KZ2 but its great to see its made its way in. Also, COD4 the so called 'FPS games to end them all' has NONE, in fact its redicoulous how you can be sitting behind a tin sheet and a tank is making no impact only feet away - annoys the hell out of me Smile

It isn't the scenery deformation that gives Killzone 2 its character, more-so the individual weights of each weapon, making for a more visceral experience. Still, only beta testers know why it plays so well. I don't think your opinion amounts for much, in all honesty.
Mark240473 on 21 Nov '08
December the 4th,all the "it's CGI" "they won't get near it" "But the ps3 ram sucks" "RSX is geforce 7" "you don't need blu-ray" "cell can't do graphics " "but KZ1 sucked,2 will suck "

prepare to be killzowned Laughing

serious now

The SP embargo is lifted december the 4th,6 levels have been given for preview,shoul see plenty of new locations,some not on helgan,from what little I've heard it's going to be a real treat to get the final game.

09 starts with a bang,KZ2,SF14,DLC (not interested anymore)res 5

I was never arguing that point. Those videos looked just 'OK' there's nothing amazing in them.

At all.

In fact that level looks so bland it may as well be from the first unreal tournament just with high-res textures. If that's character, they can keep it.
Mogs on 21 Nov '08
I dont get all this hostility here, there are people on here that have played the original KillZone and didnt think it was that good therefore they wil wait until the final product is out before passing judgement.

Some folks are overly protective (and offensive).

Just because I'm wary of getting burnt twice?

From what I've seen it looks okay, but until its 100% complete I'm not getting carried away with the hype, especially after the first game.

At the same time, there is no need to dampen spirits. I have noticed your glass being half full on many occassions regarding games you hadn't played yet. At least I have the benefit of at least 5 of my PSN buddies who are on the beta, telling me how awesome the game is, especially considering they are all COD4 veterans.

It isn't being protective. It's having to read somebodys opinion who either has no interest in Killzone 2, or has not played the beta. They just sound foolish. Same as those who hype the game up without any reason.

Not a dig at you, mind. I just think that it is easy to be negative when you are peering from the other side of the fence.
Mark240473 on 21 Nov '08
Played the beta, it's very impressive, great modes and diverse set of missions, a real adrenaline rusher too - definitely looking forward to this come Feb! Could quite easily be a game of'09 for me! Very Happy

Not at all Mark, I too am looking forward to KillZone (if you check my other posts, even on this thread you'll see) I think it will be a good game and will even shift some PS3's but like others I want to wait unitl I know all I need to know.

When I say 'Glass Half Full' its usually for a new IP or something that Ive enjoyed in the past, Killzone dosent fall into that category but I will be more than happy to be proven wrong.

In my eyes it is a new IP as I never got to play the original. Though I did play Killzone on the PSP and it was rather good. If a bit tough.

Anyway, you must admit that any negativity towards the game has recently vanished, as those who have tested the latest code have come away rather impressed.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to check out the beta but I agree that it does look fanatstic. I really don't care if it isn't as good as halo3 or gow2 but just hope it's a great gaming experience in its own right and will hopefully be a torchbearer for the PS3 and FPS'...cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can honestly say that all I have to go on at the moment are the vidz that are appearing online, I dont know anyone in the Beta and I havent dug around the web that much to see what the feeling is for the game from those in it.

If however the game does follow through on all its promises then it should be brilliant, my Birthdays at the beginning of February, so Ill be dropping some hints to the Mrs about going halfers on a new bit of much needed technology. Wink

+1

I remember the "pre-owned" section of my local game being full of unwanted Killzone copies within a fortnight of its release... after all the "Halo Killer" hype it was a real let down.

Who can blame anyone for being wary of the sequel.
Suivatam109PS3 on 21 Nov '08
I REALLY like the beta. It all feels really solid and just plays really well. I obviously can't speak for the single-player but the beta has pretty much sold this to me on the multi alone.

The only thing you have against it is it's a PS3 exclusive. Simple as that. Don't try and disguise that as something else. Next week you'll be slabbering about the negative attitude from PS3 owners.

I've played the beta. It's excellent! It's about as close to the PS2 version of Killzone as Gears or War 2 is to Doom. A lot of people have played the beta now and have been totally blown away by it. The sound alone from it is intense during a fire fight. Some mags have seen the single player game but can't say anything about it. All I can get is "it's better than you will ever believe, we can't say more". Read into that what you will.
voodoo341 on 21 Nov '08
LOL...it's going to be a generic and average FPS at best that only excels because it's on a machine that is crying out for any type of decent shooter!!

Hopefully the "superb" RSX won't display those horrific pixelated textures as seen in the holy grail game that was MGS!! Laughing

But then again, with a ten year life-cycle, i'm sure it's got "potential!!" LaughingLaughing

That may well be true but KillZone is a game that does split Gamers, of course we all want it to be brilliant but we also have every right to be cautious about the game. I want it to be good in fact I want it to be amazing (just means another game to buy whe I get a PS3).

Imagine I said the next Army of Two was going to redefine the genre and will blow everything else out of the water, I dont think many folks on here would listen to a word I hve to say.

Lets just say Glass Half Full. Wink

We ALL know that the PS3 is going to last the full "10 year life-cycle!" & usurp all technology in that time!

And the games on the PS3 in 3 years time with the immense power of the Cell & RSX processors are going to eclipse the PC, new Xbox and even Ninty-Xtreme, even though it's struggling to death now...but as you say "10 MINUTE life cycle of a 360'!

LOL...but we all know the blu-ray player has paid off, yep, they're still only losing $145 per PS3, but it's all about the "potential" and long-term!!!

KZ2 Will pwn anything in its path and will be the title that eventually blows away all perception that X-Box dominate all exclusives. This is the game of 09 and I cant wait as a PS3 owner Laughing

LOL...it's going to be a generic and average FPS at best that only excels because it's on a machine that is crying out for any type of decent shooter!!

Hopefully the "superb" RSX won't display those horrific pixelated textures as seen in the holy grail game that was MGS!! Laughing

But then again, with a ten year life-cycle, i'm sure it's got "potential!!" LaughingLaughing

Truly, truly sad boy. To use a cliche - 'Better than the 10 MINUTE life cycle of a 360'!

LOL..Thanks for that Rico!, you pitiful Sony disciple!! Shocked

We ALL know that the PS3 is going to last the full "10 year life-cycle!" & usurp all technology in that time!

And the games on the PS3 in 3 years time with the immense power of the Cell & RSX processors are going to eclipse the PC, new Xbox and even Ninty-Xtreme, even though it's struggling to death now...but as you say "10 MINUTE life cycle of a 360'!

voodoo341 on 21 Nov '08
Also why is everyone hellbent on the evr so small maps of COD4???

BFBC is a far superior online FPS offering a more tactical shooter with a higher level skill then just waiting over the same spot and obtaining spawn kills (shame on you all who do that).

Cant wait for resistance2 to quench my first untill KZ2 pwns all i its path like the juggernaut it will be!
dickieshort81 on 21 Nov '08
Not entirely true, I loved battlefield BC and its destructible environments, but they were still pretty scripted in that you could never completely destroy something - I wasn't expecting any of this is KZ2 but its great to see its made its way in. Also, COD4 the so called 'FPS games to end them all' has NONE, in fact its redicoulous how you can be sitting behind a tin sheet and a tank is making no impact only feet away - annoys the hell out of me Smile

Fair point as for once someone has slated COD4 for the non destructo' enviroment, for me BFBC is miles better because of this element COD is old hat in the school of FPS, most people dont know what theyre chatting about!!

That's all you wish for baby, unfortunately that aint the case! I've played it quite a bit on my brothers beta, ooh saucy, and I liked it a lot, but it is very much Call of Duty 4 in a new skin with it's own twist, but the gameplay mechanic is esentially the same, but that's no bad thing, it rocks!

WTF are you on about LOL. Sorry i forgot that this topic was named "lets speak tripe".

Much like Little Big Planet, this game could get 100% and still not impress pig ignorant Xbox Green Eyes.....Oh well at least youve got Halo 3 to play and Gears 1.5 (oh wait, they balls'd that up Surprised)

Sorry i take it youve never seen/played Uncharted, LBP, Motorstorm 1/2. Yeh cus the graphics are truly crap arent they!? (sarcasm).

I'd rather have a machine thats "crying out for any type of decent shooter", than a machine which is crying out for anything decent other than a shooter LOL. +1.

Sorry i forgot that ive owned Orange Box, Resistance, COD3, COD4, COD5, Farcry2 - all of which have been terrible shooters :S (sarcasm again).

Looks alright, blatantly superficial though (you can take the outer layer off things but you'll never be blowing proper holes in walls. Battlefield Bad Comapny, Far Cry 2 and of course Crysis to name but a few have already done destructable environments that look just as good as this if not better.

Point proven.

You certainly proved a point, but I doubt it concerns Killzone 2. Laughing
FearTheRobot on 22 Nov '08
Im 32, own all console, so I'm not frustration-guided. The xbox360 is the worst hardware fiasco of all time. it's noisy, and, if it was the PS3 who RRD systematicaly, whohooo the fuzz about this! add the xbox gold fee membership ! Sorry, but the PS3 is all the xbox with BluRay, free Network/play/service, quiet, reliable. And the pleasur to play without fearing that it RROD, or that the game crash with another "disck unreadable" !!
All this make the xbox 360 a crap console. But what is important is game. But here again, apart some rerally GREAT Games, which explain why I own it, the PS3 is/will offer better gaming.
Sorry, Halo was s**te, old.school, limitated, boring. THe best thing to have on the xbox is GOW2, fable2, mass effect, Bioshock etc..
But at end, I praise the xbox360, compared to the gamecube/wii. Which will have disaster effect on our passion's world...

Yeah those that have a PS3 and those that don't.

Or those that have played the first one and wont automatically buy into hype straight away.

I have stated many times on this site that I use CVG and 1UP for my gaming news as generally they do put across an unbiased view and usually the games they like I like too. The recent 1UP Show did a preview on the KZ2 Beta and they voiced concerns that justify (IMO) the reason why i'm looking forward to it but not getting carried away with it just yet.

StonecoldMC on 22 Nov '08
Looks like a lot of debate over KillZone 2, some of it (rightly) positive, the rest of it - biased anti-PS3 rubbish from XBox 360 fanboys.

KillZone 2 is coming along great and will push PS3 sales early 2009 along with the following - PS3 exclusive - triquel by SEGA, which could be described as a cross between Shenmue & GTA.

SEGA fanboy's, it is time for you to buy a PS3. XBox 360 fanboy's, bury your misgivings today and buy a PS3.

It is time.

yeah i agree with him^ me and brother play killzone multiplayer all the time. And ive started playing through campaign mode again. I actually forgot how even better it looks in campaign mode. Every level is different, good A.I like half life, brilliant lighting and textures, good atmosphere and characters. Halo is good fun. But killzone is gritty and realistic.

Funny, you've jumped right into the hype of Alan Wake, a game you know absolutely nothing about and were really defensive about when someone said anything negative about it. Yet when people say anything positive about a PS3 game quite a few of them are playing, up you pop to do exactly what you complained people were doing to Alan Wake. Rolling Eyes

Still, I suppose Im an idiot for not agreeing with your opinion on the game.
what was it you called people who didn't agree with your opinion of Alan Wake? Practice what you preach StonecoldMC.
voodoo341 on 23 Nov '08
I dont get all this hostility here, there are people on here that have played the original KillZone and didnt think it was that good therefore they wil wait until the final product is out before passing judgement.

Some folks are overly protective (and offensive).

yeah but when it's a game for the 360 and someone says anything negative about it there's quite a few overly protective and offensive comments returned as well. A few people here need to practice what they preach.

I wasn't referring to one 360 boy actually. I was referring to 360 fanboys in general.

You seem to like to argue a lot, with the defence for it being 360 fans start it/do it too Rolling Eyes

In reality this generation 360 fans are pretty much fine, if not a little smug. And PS3 fanboys are bitter.

The words immature t**t might have been a bit strong but either way you seem extremely quick to jump on them.

Jebus feckin Christ!!! This is getting tiring. I dont think Ive actually slated KZ2 once here, merley exercising my right to hold off on a franchise that I have played before.

Your right though, I have bought into the hype surround Alan Wake, because it is trying to do something a little bit different and is from a Developer in Remedy that I have a lot of faith in.

I also bought into the hype surrounding the original Killzone and while the game wasnt bad, it certainly wasnt anything special either (IMO).

I think that is a pretty valid reason why I am looking forward to it but not putting it at the top of the list of my most anticipated games.

Is that a good enough reason for you voodoo, or do I have to explain myself more?

Back on the original topic guys.

Killzone 2 does look like a fantastic game and this is genuinely coming from a dual console lover, the feedback i've heard from dual console mates has been that the AI isn't up to GoW2 or Left4Dead (PC) but overall a wicked game and one for which i can't wait!! Laughing

But have to agree 'Voodoo341', you do seem to attack people without cause..i must admit I've already thought about reporting you as you seem to look for a fight where there isn't one.

Sony also updated us on that 14 million as well. They let us know that it includes all PSP accounts and multiple registered accounts on the PSN. I only said this before them, shoot me.

And on this thread I commented on how KZ2 will shift PS3 units and that with the development time they have had it should be a great game. Terrible, terrible little snipes those.

Well done on making a valid point there. Again with the wit. It's you wanting the last word in an argument without actually making any point.
It shows that you look like a fool to more than one person. Whereas your argument with StonecoldMC just makes it look as though you think there's some huge conspiracy theory where everyone on the site except you was sent a PM saying "CVG, for 360 fans only". I've read StonecoldMC's posts and they;re extremely valid. It's hard to get hyped up about a game when the prequel was also really hyped, and was a huge letdown in many peoples eyes. It would be like seeing a really good looking Haze 2 trailer. You can be guaranteed most people would think "It's pretty...but then again so are most games now. Let's wait for some reviews."

Certain people like certain developers, and we're all subjective to that. So we'll all get hyped over some things and be suspicious over others. and it's that simple. It may surprise you but the majority of people who post on CVG don't wake up and spend the day actively waiting to slate the Ps3 in some way. The reasons, and the fanboys just come along with a bit target on their back.

And with that post I'll leave this debate because, like I realised on the Playstation forums, they just go nowhere. Obviously I can expect one of two replies here, ranging from an insightful " Rolling Eyes " to a defeatist post about me quitting because you somehow thought you'd won but I don't care Razz

Get your facts right, I never slated it, in fact I said nothing about it. You went off on a rant about PS3 owners being agressive and attacking anything because it was on the 360. Deny it all you want.
