Pre-order from Play and receive a beta code, I'm sure you could then cancel the pre-order if you don't want it.

This has worked. Pre-ordered yesterday, received today and cancelled!
 
Feck me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9.5/10 from IGN


http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/102/1026373p1.html

9.5 Presentation
Fantastic cutscenes tell a very good if not perfect story.
10 Graphics
Absolutely the best of the best these days. Your jaw will drop.
9.5 Sound
Great weapon effects, fantastic voice acting and a mostly brilliant (though sometimes overdone) soundtrack.
9.5 Gameplay
Great gunplay, stealth works very well (mostly), the puzzles are rewarding and, maybe even best of all, a killer online component.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
The game is give or take about 10 hours in length, which feels right, but then there's the multiplayer. Yes, you will be hooked.
9.5
Incredible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Sounds like more of the same , just bigger and better. I would of liked a little less gun play and more puzzles/exploration. Still gonna buy it tho.

Just buy it you dumbass. It's an amazing game. Get it bought and get it cleared before the sequel comes out. Go.

I only bought the first one after seeing the gameplay video of the second... best game I've played on the PS3 so far and easily the best £12 I've ever spent ;)

Yep, really top game... can't wait for 2 ! so many good games coming out this year though.

Anyone playing the beta? When you want to search for a game it seems the only option is to host. If this is true where do all the other players come from? Am I being thick?

Not played it mate, didn't even use my code from Infamous. My mate at work said it was piss poor, yet all the reviews of the full game say the multiplayer is fantastic so I'm going to wait until I have the full game.

The public beta is now in the PS store btw.

Getting heaps of praise, but tbh I don't want to spoil it :p

Same... can't wait, think I'm going to just nail the single player first. My Tutle beach 7.1 surround sound headphones arrive on the same day :cool:
 
I 'finished' the online portion of Killzone 2 today to unlock the sniper badge so am now 'freed' up for Forza 3 and Uncharted 2 :cool:

Never finished Killzone, played it through on Hard and got to the final fight but it just pissed me off :dapprove:

Do those work on the PS3 and 360?

Yes mate, there's a box that connects to the console via the optical cable which can then be passed through to your surround sound if needed. The box charges the head phones, connects to the headphones wirelessly and acts as the 7.1 amp.

[EDIT] Ignore the recharge bit, it takes AAA batteries....

Anyone downloaded the beta? Came out last night, i'm in the long process of downloading it now.

I assume the open beta is the same as the other. If so I've been playing a while. It's good.

BETA is aweome imo

shouldnt be compared to COD.


the animations, moves, fluidity are awesome.
the textures and colours, effects are as good as almost any pc game ! (only runs 720p but meh still rocks).
the game trailer is all actual graphics and again only thing ive seen beat them is the ATI ruby demo and even then its close.. which when you consider a ps3 is like a low range gaming pc in power and memory is a pretty insane achievment


gamplay on multiplayer is simply but fun because you can see your character doing lots of jumps and stealith moves its actually emerses you more than first person.

sound is pretty average online, gun sounds arent amazing.


so for me its

Plus points:

9/10 GFX (only a few things like crysis beat it hands down)
animation 9/10 again really fluid
controls, slick and quick (apart from the naff ps3 controller)
great fun online blasting folk and hiding, like an improved GOW2

bad points:

sound aint too great
non destructable environments
not as involved as COD4/5 (MORE ARCADEY)


probably going to buy it
 
Nice review :cool: - From what I have read Phil, the multiplayer suite that comes bundled with the game is actually quite involved with perks, upgrades etc
 
  MKIII 138
yea, problem for me is that i only have 3 ps3 friends and there never online.

need to get a headset and some more buddies :)
 
^^Only the multiplayer 'beta' I say Beta but the games well into its printing run by now a sit needs to be with retailers shortly lol!
 
Well gave it a shot albeit briefly! Have to say I wasn't bowled over but will reserve proper judgement until its been trialled properly!
 
  Octy VRS
Me also. It looks great but gameplay is average in FPS terms. I like being able to climb stuff but would be better if everything was climbable. I spent a few hours on and ranked up a few. Perks are good and admitably I only did deathmatches. The co-op is supposed to be good.
 
My issues were two fold, firstly I didn't know all the controls, stealth takedowns etc thats my fault but will only really be mastered by playing through the SP.

Secondly Uncharted has never been about 'shoot em' ups, whilst it would be great to hide up high and do a few 'stealth' take downs you'll only end up at the bottom of the leaderboard! Those who run around mad, shooting will top the group but imo that misses the point?

Anyway its pointless speculating until the full game comes out, the fact that the multiplayer suite has been reviewed as 'worth the $60 alone' makes me think theres more to come!
 
  MKIII 138
I was waiting 7 minutes last night, trying to get a match but nothing :(

mine started like that but its got progressivley better.

have you looked at all the maps (for graphics) in custom mode.. i know its not online but you can admire the gfx without getting shot.
