Killzone 2 Demo - First impressions

Some interesting points, first the aiming i feel is spot on, movement is smooth and precise (for me). Its not a twitch shooter or COD4, feels more like firing a proper gun in a way ie the weapon has weight and inertia and "feels" like your moving a heavy bit of kit rather than a stick. Tried with the default scheme at first and got used to it, but prefeer alt 2 with zoom toggle off. Just loved the way you can stick a bead on a Helghast and pop his helmet off first (lol) then head shot, so much better than say Res2 super aim assit or COD4 for that. The game play is different to some FPS's its more like survey area, find cover shoot from cover see helghast move find new cover etc etc, not good being in the open cant run and gun, well you can but die quickly (well i do). Its an amazing looking game, so much going on, so much atmosphere and the sound is fantastic (5.1) all in all its pretty awesome! In one run i just stood about and watched the AI fight itself, hearing team mates shout to you to use the healing ray is a bit annoying at times, shame they dont do it for you! Also forcing it into 1080P/I and i dont see it drop frames or anything, glad much of the loading has been decreased in the retail/latest review code. I just cant wait to play the full game and the MP 3 weeks to go :(
 
Still downloading on glorious VM, I'm using a wrt54gl with tomato and its still incredibly slow.

Anyway, is there anyway to remap to 'proper' shooter controls, aka L2 Aim/R2 Shoot. The PS3 trend of using L1/R1 instead really, really annoys me. As if the controller isnt poor enough already they basically nerf it using that layout.
 
ouch! :(

edit 8%
- hrmm think ill try the REs 5 demo i spent all day yesterday downloading in teh meantime.. :)


btw ps3udo i dont have GRID....yet its on my rental list if you see it going for a tenner though let me know :D
 
i don't think im going to bother downloading this today then, with my crappy 1mb connection its going to take aggggggggggges if its going slow
 
I'm with VM and not using a VM router, got a 20Mb connection and PSN is always really sloooooooow. Xbox Live used to be as quick as my PC for downloading when I had my 360...

...it's pants I tell you, PANTS!

79% and counting... :(
 
Good game. Excellent production values and attention to details. You can tell there has been many angry partners due to late nights and weekend making this game. However, coming from a 12 year PC background and have useless fingers playing FPS on consoles, I'll give this one a miss and wait for the PC version.
