I think it's really funny that he said WoW was his inspiration for making things unlockable, when I was explaining to a friend the other day that the unlocking process felt very much like WoW.
Great podcast. You managed to get 2 bits of information out of him. the first being that DLC will be coming (in some form or another) and the second being the rumor of a KZ2 movie. While it probably won't happen, it's interesting to know that they at least thought about the possibility of a movie.
i didn't notice while playing the single player mode, that the AI reacts depending on what weapon your using. I'm going to go back and take a look at that.
Overall, I'm loving KZ2. The single player game was excellent, and since I've adjusted to the multiplayer game, I'm having a blast with that as well. For those of you who haven't figured it out, firing short bursts and rapidly pressing the fire button as opposed to holding down the fire button will net you many, many kills.
Question about the Killzone games. I never played the first one. Should I play it before I go out and buy KZ2? The game looks amazing and something I dare not pass up.
@ahmeng: Haha, exact same situation for me man. I only have one ribbon for that badge.
Guerilla really needs to consider a patch for the air support, they do hardly any damage and the fact that the sentry guns take them out fairly easily makes them even more of a joke.
@Theoutlet: sentry guns are definitely more useful IMO. they even blow up enemies in the area if they kill them from close range. (I've learned that the hard way...multiple times) I can take out an Air Support ship with a shotgun from like 30 feet away.
@Lllusionx admits to having a PS3: Oh, well taking out a air support ship with a shotgun from like 30 feet away sounds uber realistic!! I see why you love this game soo much!
@Lllusionx admits to having a PS3: Yeah, that compounded with the fact that you only get two things of air support for a map, but you're allowed four turrets and it's even more ridiculous.
But, I honestly think GG has to have noticed how hard it is for us to get that badge and are working on a fix.
I like how the ISA parallels the USA. Many people in western countries don't think that their governments use propaganda on them. But when you play the propaganda mode like everything they say has been said for the IRaq and Afganistan wars. I especially like the "we are not a warlike people" yet the Vectans are the one invading. And the "this is a battle for the hearts and minds" heard that one before.
I like how Boltjes knows what "sub- creation" is. They are basically telling a story about war. And the player can create an internal narrative within the game. Or a game within the game, like he says.
Damn you Kotaku! I need this game now. I was ok not having it but having seen it even in the low quality that my pokey little monitor provides I must have it.
@ThursdayNext: You won't regret it. I'm a useless FPS (and pretty much ever other videogaming genre) player and I haven't been into multiplayer FPS action since the original Unreal Tournment on ny office LAN, but this is an absolute corker. Soon I'll have my medic's badge and I'll be all about healing rather than hurting :)
@BritBloke916: Being a medic is very fun, and you feel helpful for it, also, i think you get a point for helping people. I however, am rocking my engineer's badge making turrets that get kill points for me.
@Marvel83: He was talking to them while he was playing. I think it's hard to multitask when there are 16 other people shooting and throwing grenades at you.
Could you also ask them if they plan on printing anymore R3 region copies of KZ2? I'm having zero luck finding ANY copies of killzone 2 here in Singapore, not even at the Sony Style stores.
For such a big game, the lack of availability is such phail imo. I'll be really pissed if by the time i get my hands on one, everyone's done with it.
@Shteve: I think when in battle, he and everybody else, tends to duck down and get their heads close to their gun, then in videos, he stands up straight.
Thanks, I'll download this when I get home. KZ2 has been occupying all my time besides a little Peggle. It's a great game. Nade spammers hate it when you do a suicide run in a closed in hallway with a grenade and take out four or five of them.
I think the only problem I have with Killzone 2 is that the pistol could be a tad stronger and I need more time to actually play it. Just made it to the Bridge fight in single player and Master Sgt in MP yesterday.
@enewtabie: The pistol you start out with in the MP is the weak helghast version I think. When you get the silver one from the campaign, It's at least 5 times stronger, and that's a lot. i hate the helghast's versions of things in the game. not their original weapons, like the bolt gun, the arc wielder gun or their flame thrower, I just hate the guns like their assault rifle with a shitty iron sight and poor muzzle break. same problem with the helghast's LMG. no aiming at all, the ISA version is steadier and more accurate, along with an adequate iron sight.

So it's like the action is seen from a Sev's chest perspective.

That game seems to lag, it never happened to me, even in 32 players games, weird.
Killzone 2 Multiplayer is awesome. It really isn't good for my studying ! Every class is fun to play in it's own way.

Any recommendations on ranking up quicker. I'm assuming just stay on mission and try to earn ribbons,etc?
