    Funny nobody mentioned this lately... Maybe because it's a PS3 exclusive?!

    Anyways, technologically this is the SHIT, It's amazing seeing the work these guys did with a console where there's a lot more limitations than PC's.

    Here's some of the latest screenshosts, and 12 preview videos released yesterday! be amazed!

    I remember playing Killzone for hours and hours on the PS2, and it was my favorite game, maybe even still is, I simply love the graphics and gameplay of Killzone 2, one negative point is though, WHY IS IT PS3 ONLY???!!! If it would come out for PC I'd buy it ASAP

    I don't have a PS3 or a Xbox 360 because well, I'm a PC gamer...

    also; WTF at this screenshot?

    Looks like this is going to be a pretty nice game.

    Sony's got a lot riding on it, and there's a lot of pressure for it to deliver in the graphics department. I think there's a high probability it'll be a good play.

    That's the sniper class on Multiplayer, he can cloak like the Spy on TF2! <3

    MP on this game will also own! It's highly inspired on TF2 mechanics.

    I'm gonna buy a USB keyboard, so I can play this game PC style on my PS3.

    i still don't get why people make fps games on consoles. joypads are horrendous to use as a mouse :\

    It's kind of just a comfort thing, really. I certainly wouldn't ever substitute my PC when it comes to proper competitive gaming like TF2, but sometimes it's nice to just relax in a big, soft chair and enjoy a linear single-player console FPS — especially when many of today's single-player FPS games seem to generally be better optimised or exclusively for consoles.

    With that said, the PS3 does support a mouse and keyboard for those that can't live without them. I don't think they even have to be official Sony ones; I know some Logitech ones work, at least.

    Every keyboard works as long as it's USB, obliviously. So do mouses.

    i know; however i have heard that neither keyboard nor mouse are compatible with games. this is what has made me not want to buy a wireless keyboard/mouse for console gaming.

    Agreed, I missed plenty of FPS because they were on console. I played Killzone on PS2, great game, but would have been so much better on PC. I mean, I'm trying, but I still can't aim right with a controller. I spend most of my time adjusting the aim.

    Not sure what point you're trying to make st0lve, but let's not turn this into a silly anti-whatever thread, please — this is about Killzone 2.

    Sentura, the game support is entirely dependent on the game itself. I have no idea off hand which games have been designed to support a keyboard/mouse, but I do know from personal experience that Unreal Tournament 3 is one that does.

    Gameplay and graphics wise it looks excellent, and by excellent I mean like Gears of War without the 250 pound steroid freaks as main characters.

    I'm just angry that they don't make it for the 360 or even PC.

    well now, that is the point of exclusives isn't it? i don't see you being angry when a 360 exclusive comes out.

    as for what you say thrik: i know that it is entirely dependent on the game. i wish there was some sort of chart that would say which games include support and which games don't.

    Oh yeah we are! This is by far one of the best good looking games I've seen on It's genre! The graphics are just mind blowing, I'd give out a kidney to be able work as a level artist on a game like this, you're a lucky guy IR!

    Looks really nice in motion, I've always loved the visual design of the game, especially the environments. Everything seems very functional and lived in.

    I really liked the bit I played, guns felt right, stuff shattering in the environment looked good, player animations were uncanny. :megaman:
