Guerrilla Games Q&A Manager Seb Downie has issued a response over on the Official PlayStation Forums in regards to the various complaints gamers have made on the latest preview code of Killzone 2.

"Hi folks,
I am getting a bunch of complaints about some things in the preview code and just wanted to clear this up for everyone.

Dialogue
The dialogue and voice-acting was not yet final and was placeholder for that build. Has since been improved a hundred times over.

Natko
Natkos face had a shading glitch in that build making him look a little weird and plastic. Has been fixed since.

Grain filter
The grain filter is still there. But the video compression is removing it. Looks better on screen.

Blood Meridian
Blood Merdian has been pulled forward in the level order compared where it was a year ago. As the weather become more violent throughout the game, the level of wind was too much for the second level of the game. This also has to do with it looking a little more 'blue'.

Sev and Narville's hair
I think this is a truely silly thing to bring up. I think you guys should all post pictures of your haircuts for me to mock.
One of the screenshots I have seen of him today make it look a bit strange I agree. The light catches his head and makes it look a little more blond/yellow. Is otherwise just really closely cropped."


Killzone 2 is due for release on February 27.

    I like this kind of community interaction.  If only the developers of Far Cry 2 did the same... or even ANY community interaction.

    True, none of them are that big of a deal. The only thing that is good is if they fixed the voice acting and natko's face. Other then that, none of that stuff is a real problem.

    @9, i concur. If only theyd pay attention or at the veyr frigging least release an SDK that game would be fixed just right.

     

    i complain about the hair pieces if their bad enough, like RvS2007 bad. But Killzone 2 looks pretty slick

    I'm getting 2 copies: 1 to play and 1 to safeguard. So at least one person who complains can rest assured that I bought one on their behalf. KZ2 FTW!

    These are not serious issues and I'm sure they'll be addressed before release. What is an issue is the gun recoil issues. All the vids I've seen are filled with hip firing because looking down sight is ineffective with all the recoil. Scary problem for a FPS.

    whoever complained about hair is just some perfectionist a#$%le.

    Just fix all the glitches and add more weapons and features and this game will be so epic and awesome that Killzone might finally get its own movie.
