also does any one know when Call of Duty 6 or Operation Flashpoint 2 come out?
The game has been rated high even by critics. The game has scored 94 on the metacritic scale which is an awesome feat (check link for scores). The game is a must play if you own a PS3.
COD:MW2 (Modern Warfare 2) will come out later this year.
The demo isn't in the US store. You can get it from the Euro store. If you don't have a Euro account, it's easy to make one. Just find a site where you can get a free email address (the UK is easiest cause they're all in English), and look up their postal codes and make up a fake address. Then create a new login profile, and create a PSN account for it, located in the UK, with your UK email address and fake street address. I think the only part that has to be in the right format is the postal code, check wikipedia for the right format. Or the UK postal service site. Then you can get into the Euro store and download the Killzone 2 demo.
What they say about Killzone2, that it has pretty graphics, is true. It does. I was not blown away by them though. Most ps3 games have very good HD graphics and I don't think Killzone 2 is all that above and beyond. The models are good, the animations are good, the textures are very good, water looks like water, but there are other games that look just as good to me. Still you could arguably call it the shooter with the prettiest graphics.
From the demo I noticed a few irritating things right off the bat. You've got a squad leader, but it's very hard to keep track of where the hell he is, and when he talks, it sounds like it could be coming from anybody. Movement is a bit slow, reminds me of Unreal engine. Also they've got the standard heal-all medic tool, they just zap you with electricity and you're healed, even if you've been shot a hundred times. Where does all that lead go, hmm.
Picking up weapons from the ground is a bit slow, you have to maneuver to just the right spot till the square icon appears, before you can pick it up. Both your side and the Helghast thoughtfully fitted all the grenades with bright tracers so you can see them coming as soon as they're thrown, and jump out of the way.
I know it's only a demo, but with only a few days till release, those are things that can't be fixed. It's already shipping, and must have been in the final version for a while. My impression is it looks and plays like a lot of ps3 shooters, just prettier and more colorful. (compared to the Resistances which is mostly brown and green)
It is faster than GRAW2, I'll give it that. Wasn't so slow that you'd get killed because you reacted in time but the controls wouldn't. (what I didn't like about RE5)
Killzone 2 is like coming out tomorrow, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out at the end of the year and Operation Flashpoint 2 is coming out in the near the middle of the year.
Call of Duty 6 comes out I believe on Q4 09
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising comes out in May 26 2009
Did you know they always release a new Call of Duty November of every year?
