We love Killzone 2. Really we do. Well at least it seems that way with the amount of chatter around Guerrilla’s exclusive over in the forums, as well as here on the front page. Apparently the developers over at Insomniac share our love. James Stevenson, Insomniac’s community manager has now finished the game, prompting a NeoGAF post for all to read. 

“I did indeed beat KZ2 tonight and it is indeed awesome,” he said before adding: “I know there will be plenty of comments, opinions, accolades and nitpicks, but for me, the game was fun.” 

Killzone 2 is shaping up to be a big hitter for the PS3 this year having also received a excellent 5/5 score from the US Official PlayStation Magazine. According to forum posts from those who have received early subscription copies, the review concludes: “Without a doubt Killzone fans, action, and shooter fans of any stripe will instantly tag this sequel as a powerful contender for the best game of 2009.”

The end of February can’t come soon enough.

  1. Can’t wait for that monster! I’m so psyched up for it. Nice to know it’s getting legitimate praise.


  2. I hate to be rude, but my trousers are around my ankles whilst watching a Killzone 2 video.


    • That’s not rude, just honest :)


    • The only thing that happens to me is I feel a strange sensation pass through my body.


    • What will you be like when you play it.


      • I’ll just have to mute my headset.


  3. Shame if it’s ready they don’t just release it now, after all there’s bugger all else out


    • Paragon was saying that last night. I’m quite glad it’s coming out in Feb though. Gives my wallet time to recover and its gives me time to play the games I got for Xmas before losing my social life.


      • I did ask you last night but don’t think you heard it due to the stupid problems. But don’t you get maintenance loan and grants?


      • But, I thought you were a robot dj :( Please tell me you’re a robot.


  4. maybe i’m over-analysing but he’s not exactly heaping the praise on is he?

    i mean “the game was fun” ? I say that about Crash Commando, not PS3’s biggest 1st half 2009 exclusive blockbuster.


    • Is Crash Commando fun?


      • Its hard :(


    • He also says that it is awesome! Surely that is high praise.


      • Yeah I saw that as well. I was wondering why people ignored that?


  5. “The game was fun”

    Thats what I said after playing Trials Of Topaq… and I wasn’t the community manager of the game company involved… sounds like he was confusing his comments with his journey to work…. either that or the game is decidedly average


    • I noticed that. Maybe the title should be ‘Killzone 2 Recieving Praise’.
      You would have thought he could at least have used some adjectives.


      • or moderate, but don’t excite yourself to much praise


    • His actual thoughts were somewhere along the lines of “Shit! FUCKING SHIT! this game looks a hundred times better than ours, now we look lazy. Guerilla you wankers”


    • He also says how the game is awesome, which you seemed to have overlooked in you witty remark :P


  6. Everyones getting into the spirit…


  7. I didn’t post this news.


    • @cc_star
      I have no idea as all I know is that the grant is given by the University. Unless they get it from the government then I guess it is.


  8. I don’t want to sound depressing or anything but I’m not getting excited about this game…

    Remember before GTA IV came out there was constant hype surrounding it for about 6 months, maybe longer. Then when I bought my copy the Friday before release I was shaking with excitement but by the time it was released on the Tuesday I was bored and very disappointed with it. During the last week I went back to it and completed it, and as I wasn’t expecting much from it I can see now why it has been voted the best game of the year by many people / magazines / websites… it is an outstanding game.

    The point I’m trying to make is don’t expect too much from this game as you may find yourself disappointed when it finally arrives


    • GTA had a lot of new things to add to the gaming world. I think the hype for that was mainly around the new living breathing city and all the things to do, but it was discovered that so many things were cut from the previous GTA games, making the actual game a bit of a let down to what people expected. Whereas Killzone is a FPS. Nothing more. The part I’m more excited about than anything is the multiplayer, and there isn’t many ways they can go wrong, unless its glitchy as hell. But according to the lucky folk who played the beta, it isn’t. As long as it looks as good as it does on the videos, and plays as well as people said it does, I’ll be VERY happy.


      • Andy I hate to tell you the bad news mate, but the beta was glitchy. When there are lots happening on screen at the same time the framerate was dropping a bit. It wasn’t spoiling the atmosphere in anyway, the game was bloody great, but it was there. The good news is that this was the beta and needless to say GG will have done their upmost to sort the problem. Along with all the other minor problems there was with the beta. I don’t want to say what they were, they are to small to worry about and will have been ironed out in the process. All in all though it’s an epic creation that you will love if you’re a FPS fan.


  9. i can’t wait for this


  10. PS3fanboy said recently in their article about the big hitters of 09 that they have the review copy and that the hype should be believed!

    Im looking forward to it too. and the end of February canNOT come fast enough, becuase when it arrives, my exams will be finished and I’ll have a long weekend to play Killzone 2 in :D


  11. Killzone 1 rocked my world and I’m expecting this one to do the same! I loved the grittiness and realism. It really struck a chord with me and was a rare example of a FPS where you didn’t feel like you were a camera floating around. i pray to the Playstation Gods that this one delivers all it is hyped to be.


    • nice one mate, i also loved the 1st game (well the multiplayer anyway) leaps and bounds over the other ps2 online shooters at the time..and i cant wait to get into it all over again!
      *happy happy joy joy*


  12. Still makes no sense for them not to be releasing it sooner, if it’s finished. It will only end up making people pissed if they’re going to sit on a finished game for 2 months.

    I guess they’re trying to raise the hype, but are failing.


  13. Can’t wait. :-D


  14. Yeah which come through in about a week. But that pays for food and rent so generally I am very poor.


  15. Really?

    I have to get out to work… what are these grants you speak of


  16. @cc_star
    Grants are from University which we don’t pay back.

    @djsecondnature
    I live at home so it’s less of a problem for me.


  17. Basically for being clever and getting good A-Level grades and doing extra-circular activities.


  18. I got three PPP which is three E’s in A levels. I did BTEC national diploma in business. It was crap. Did learn quite a few things.


  19. I was supposed to write PPP or three P instead of three PPP. Couldn’t edit it as I posted below and then noticed the error.


  20. does that mean you can edit the spelling of ‘recieving’ in the title of the post then? lol :)


  21. @dod: Why it seems fine to me?


  22. How hard is it?


  23. @PK when you say University, you mean tax payers right?


  24. Hard as wood. I haven’t played it too much, but I bought it on the day it came out and everyone online seemed to be brilliant. Maybe its just not my kind of game.


  25. Well I ain’t going to buy the game then. I wonder what else comes out. I was just wondering if it was fun.


  26. And turn off your eyetoy.


  27. Why am I a robot?


  28. lol.


  29. Because you have 6 Platinums ;)


  30. I’m disappointed that it’s still six :(


  31. I don’t even own 6 trophy enabled games…


  32. You could have just, lied.
