Great news today to see that Killzone 2 is now on the Playstation’s platium list. Sales todate are around the 1.1 million sales value reports Gamespot.
Also coming later this month will be the add on packs for Killzone 2 it’s not know how much they will cost yet. But these add on packs, the Steel and Titanium Map Pack will be released on April 30th.
The superior lighting and shading is shown here in the scenes in the warehouse. See how the surroundings change once you shoot the roof in the warehouse, and when you shot certain boxes they explode. In this video your character picks up some extra health and then continues on the missions. This is one of my favourite videos from Killzone2 to date !
Yes, it’s finally confirmed by Amazon, on their product page for Killzone 2 they are mentioning a release date of Saturday February 28th 2009. Now this seems to be a long way way off, but don’t you remember when we first had the cool videos of the game on the site ? It is now possible to pre-order Killzone 2, where you can jump into the queue 8 months before it’s due to be released. I’ve already gone ahead and put my order in, one of the reasons I decided to do it now is that the $60 price is pretty good. Over the last few years prices have gone up, and by purchasing it now I am guaranteed that I will get it for this price, and I know I will be one of the first people to get my hands on the game.
I wonder will Amazon be offering any coupons for Killzone 2. I know there were coupons available online for when the first one came out. Either way I am happy to order it now. Also Amazon has in the past released some items a few days early, so that they arrive at the destination on time, if this is the case I could probably get my hands on the game before the shops start to sell it ! I will be happily playing the game on my PS3, while there are thousands of others just waiting in a queue in front of a games store.
I don’t know what you are waiting for, if you call yourself a fan you should start thinking of getting it now ! Feel free to use my affiliate link, this will help me to pay for the hosting of the website, and maybe a new controller so I can really Killzone 2 to it’s full potential. Purchase via Amazon.com
Here is another preview video, here we see more game play action. What really looks cool in Killzone 2 is the reactions of the characters when you shoot them. In this video we see how the characters stumble and fall back once they are shot in the head. The scope on the gun makes it easy to aim at the enemy and shoot them right in the middle of the head. You also see how you are the commander of the troop and you need to guide you troops safely into battle.
Here is a another cool video of a showing the game play in Killzone 2. I love how realistic the reloading of the guns is, and how the gun moves as the character moves. It really makes you think you are doing the walking ! Also in this video you see alot of the reloading of guns, and how they are animated. The weapons in Killzone2 look incredible. I can’t wait. Also at the end you see the character turning a wheel from something or other.
Here is a cool video of a bridge exploding in Killzone 2. Now Sony are saying that the date for the release of Killzone2 will be February 2009 !
Another rumor coming across our bow today is that Killzone 2 will be on the game shelves sometime in September 2008. There has been a lot of speculation about the game’s release date but this time the words are coming from Sony themselves. There has been numerous delays due to various reasons, and now Sony are confirming that it will happen in September. A possible date we heard, is September 18th, which is a Thursday. Fingers crossed that the date won’t slip any more and in the middle of September Killzone 2 will be released.
This first person shooter game has some of the craziest graphics to come on the PS3 and it is expected to be the cult classic from 2008. If you are looking to preorder killzone 2 you can do so via Amazon (see the link to the store on the left hand side).

Today I came across a great document that outlines how they improved the graphics in KillZone 2, it shows how all the different shading and rendering happens. If you ever wanted to know the difference between forward and deferred rendering in computer games then this will help you.
Topics covered included in this presentation:
The PDF is from Guerrilla’s development conference from July 2007 which was in Brighton, England.
Here is a great video that shows the excellent graphics from Killzone 2. Have a look at the cool new weapons and how the characters react be being shot. It’s going to be the best game we have ever seen
