one game isnt enough for me to spend £300 on one.

specially as itll be another 4-5 years before another AAA title is released.

anyway, if killzone 2 didnt look good then the developer would of had to run away and hide for the rest of there lives.

they claimed some CGI was gameplay a few years ago and got shot down big style so they have been on a mission ever since to try and match the cgi.

its a shame third part devs dont get this much time on games.

i wouldn't mind trying drakes and MGS but those 2 wouldn't be enough for me to splash the cash, KZ2 looks pretty special and it's about time i got a BD player, i won't buy it just yet tho, sony are expecting a lot from KZ2 and so won't think about dropping the prices until the hysteria dies away

Downloading now :)

Will most likely be clicking the order button on play.com in a couple of hours. The 1st one took me a while to get into but i did get hooked and continued to finish it once i got the PS3. While it was no Halo beater it was a damn good game, Looked great but i think they asked a bit too much of the PS2 as the frame rate wasn't fantastic.

I've been wanting to see number 2 running with my own eyes as a couple of reports have said this is the game that's going to show the 360 why the PS3 is number 1 in what it is capable of producing :-k

Was that in the official PS magazine? :lol: theres bu88er all difference between what the 2 machines are capable of, don't waste your time with sony's bar graphs, I think the fact that this game was originally being developed for the PS2 says a lot, it better look good :oldtongue:

You won't be disapointed by the way it looks :thumleft: Demo is very short though for 1.2gb :shock:

I'm buying it, Not too bothered about the multiplayer side of it, I just hope the single player story isn't too short.

That's the problem with new games, COD4 looks amazing but is very short, takes the devs a lot longer to make the gfx better, i think for the next gen episodic content could be very big, maybe buy the base of the game and then add new chapters every month :thumleft:

Mate of mine that is a games reviewer for UFOgamer.com got hold of it yesterday.

Says it looks gorgeous, but the demo only lasts 10 mins and the controls are terrible.

I'm going over his later so I'll check it out then.

was curious as to how that conclusion was came to so had a wee read on the net, to say that those results are hit and miss is a masive understatement :lol:

The fastest wireless console.

Well the PS3 is wireless, the 360 isnt.

Being the ONLY wireless one it's a no brainer that it's the fastest.

I was getting 2 hours from the time Andy started to download then his next progress update...

the wii is wireless as well, have a read of the "test" and see how much the results vary, as you'd expect depending on server load, connection, contention ratio etc etc

could probably have been 1/2 hour to download 10 minutes to install then 1:20 minutes playing.

I went through it twice just to see if i could run about stabbing and rifle butting everyone. its hard but fun :thumleft:

please can we not turn this is into yet ANOTHER 360/PS3 fight and just enjoy the fact that this is just a freaking awesome game! :thumleft:
