Killzone 2 cover story is in the mail

Posted on June 19th, 2008 at 14:37 EDT

In an unexpected announcement, the Official PlayStation Blog has let it be known that the next issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly will feature a cover story on Killzone 2. While fans of the series have been waiting anxiously for new information and details about the anticipated PlayStation exclusive, it looks like the wait is finally over.

 



The coverage is said to be filled with new information regarding where the franchise is taking us, new gameplay tidbits and about the developers. This issue is expected in subscriber mailboxes by the end of the week. For those of you who want to pick it up in-stores, you'll have to wait until the end of June or early July before you can get your hands on a copy.

We'll be lucky to get 5 pages of Killzone 2 info in EGM.  Glad to see some Starcraft 2 info as well.

I though EGM were run by an elite group of anto-PS3 people? Or maybe I'm mistaken for something else... Anyway, I'm really excited to hear some new info, hopefully some Multiplayer news?

It never was DELAYED! People on the net assumed, as did alot of other foks that it was arriving in the end of '08. However when you have LBP arriving in October, Motorstrom 2 (Fall), Resistance 2 in November with a few multiplats scattered throughout the it's too congested. Killzone 1 has a cult following who no doubt will buy it if it came out tomorrow, but you have alot of folks who are a little skiddish about buying it due to the mixed reviews of the first. So it needs a month all by itself to shine with nothing in its way to maximize sales. Also don't forget that it'll be after the xmas rush where there will be new owners of PS3's to buy into it.

Give me a freaking break. Nobody EVER questioned whether COD4 would do anything revolutionary over COD3 that would absolutely make it worth the buy. Nobody made sure Halo 3 absolutely changed the genre when it released. There's only a few freaking ways to shoot a gun. The only people who question whether this will be generic or not are fanboys and people who don't want to dish out 60 dollars on a game they didn't already have their mind set on. Basically, the only people that question the gameplay are people who WANT Killzone 2 to fail. Comments like CHRISBOSH disgust me.

@Girugamesh

Girugame, girugame

First of all thats not how us spell guru.And second of all u disgust me, by not reading my post properly. U probably did but tfor some reason it did not register in ur brain properly.I am no xbox fanboy, and i definately dont want this game to fail cuz i am really lookin forward to it.All i said that gamesites that have time to play the game feel like the gameplay is lacking something.Of course they are going to criticize the game cuz its a sony exclusive. U cant step up to the plate like killzone is just with revolutionary graphics, cuz if u just do that people are going to trash this game along withh haze. U also need solid gameplay.
When i said there already passing on this game that wuznt coming from my mouth, it wuz coming from game sites. So before u open ur mouth, please understand and think of what u are going to say before u say it.

Can't wait, I love Killzone! I hate EGM thou. This will be one of the games that will show what the PS3 is about! Besides MGS4. Then I wonder what pethedic excuse MS will make about it. Because, you guys know the media is going to rub it in there face!

@CRISBOSH

First of all, Girugamesh is the name of one of the Japanese bands I like. Google it. Secondly, most sites and mags that have previewed KZ2 never said the gameplay was generic or average or anything like that. Previews have only said they haven't seen enough gameplay to determine what they thought.

That's all. I still think it's ridiculous, which goes with my other post. People can't find anything wrong with KZ2, so they attack the only thing you can't PROVE isn't right. Like I said, they want it to fail. Killzone 2 is going to be a success no matter what happens, but hey, you never know what the Microsoft Defense Force is going to think of next.

^ Actually a lot of sites have complained about generic level design when the new demo for the first level came out several weeks ago.  Also, I read a preview where they felt that the appearance of convenient red, explosive barrels around the levels was a very exhausted idea in FPS.  I'm looking forward for the game as much as anyone else, so don't think I'm a hater too, but that's what other sites have said.

 @ 12  "they already saying that the gameplay is generic."

Really? Who said that? Since when is the last time you took some jag's opinion about a game before the final version is even done. I think I'll make my own opinion about KZ2 when it htis. I know it will be good.

@Xdeth

Seriously, I haven't even seen one preview complaining about the gameplay. Actually, from some, I've heard quite the contrary.

But for the ones that did give a bad preview, it's probably the same fools that gave MGS4 a bad review. Which means nothing to me.

Killzone 2 is going to absolutely own. Even if the graphics weren't that great, to me, the gameplay looks splendid. Much better than most other FPS's out there, and certainly better than any FPS's I own. (I own COD4.)

Seriously, f**k the media!  You have to screen out all the BS for the facts and make a judgement based on your gut feeling if this is a game you will enjoy playing.  Feels like the PS3 has been under attack even before it launched and I'm sick of the under handed politics infesting the gaming media.   Look at GTA IV, it was a good game but to give it 10/10, come on really now, wtf is that.   Anyway, I digress, well it so happens that I just recently played the original Killzone for the first time, and it made me realize just how much I enjoy FPS.  Killzone2 looks like it's going to pwn some serious a** from what I've seen so far.  If you get caught up in the over hype of any game you are just setting yourself up for disappointment in the long run.  I'm still looking forward to hearing more about this game, the nay sayers have a right to their opinions but that doesn't mean I have to listen.  "FRAG OUT!"

I remember EGM had a tomato splattered PS3 on their cover sometime around the systems launch(window). Although it was just an article on how & why the PS3 was being so poorly received, putting that image on the cover was not one of the better ideas they've had. Haven't bought an issue since then & I still won't.
