GC: Killzone 2 Lean and Peek Demonstration gameplay video

With Killzone 2 setting the videogame community ablaze with spectacular visuals and high-end production values in its showing at E3, it certainly doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out why information about the game's features, while being kept tightly under wraps by Guerrilla Games, is of high demand. To cater to the more info-hungry among us, here's a video of the game in action, captured in GC: Leipzig - and it's about how you'll be able to take advantage of your environment to survive.

In this video, we see how a player can use the game's unique lean and peek system to effectively use cover. With a mere press of the SIXAXIS' L1 button, players can duck into low cover. While it certainly offers an improved defense - i.e. bullets not tearing into your soft body - you can't really shoot your enemies in this state, right? That's what the forward button is all about, which lets you stand clear of cover. Now you can attack, but there's a problem - you've now left the safety of your cover, and thus are liable to get hit.

Fortunately, Killzone 2 also provides a happy median, in the form of blind firing. Simply press the fire button while holding the relevant shoulder button, and you'll draw your gun to blindly fire above cover. Your aim is limited here, of course, but now you're attacking while defending. Neat!

Check out the video embed below for the skinny on the lean and peek system, as well as some cool gameplay eye candy. Enjoy!

!. Im a ps3 fanboy 2. Killzone does seem like gears of war killer. 3 halo three is going to be vicious. But seriously just admit it halo an a amazing game and i'll tell you why. Because it carries the whole package. There's usually something a game is missing, something that could make it so much better. But halo comes online coop, online multiplayer, a good story, good music, good physics, whatever. Its just a game that is worth paying 60 bucks for. i'm not saying that games that are not like halo are bad. i just wish they would come with everything worth 60 bucks. Hopefully killzone will be worth that 60 bucks

This is about Killzone, so stick to the topic please.

The lean and peak system has been reused by many video games all the time. People just experienced it the most with Gears of War. Killzone never stole the idea. It's been there since Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid 2, Syphon Filter, Tenchu, and many more games.

I'd say if someone say Killzone stole GoW's lean and peek system, then it's just something like Halo stole the FPS idea of Doom.

# true — Guest 2007-08-30 20:15

halo has everything that makes it worth paying 60 bucks.

hopefully the devs will add coop (on/offline).

Is it me, or is the person playing this game a BAD gamer? JUST GET IN THERE!

# ? — Guest 2007-08-30 23:56

He is not playing the game... he is demonstrating the game... There's a difference in that.

# hmm — Guest 2007-08-31 02:46

I'm personally leaning more towards Halo at this point because of the visuals. NOT because I think it's technically superior(I think KZ2 wins-out in this regard) but because I like the design of Halo. It's just.. livelier? i guess? I think the large amounts of gray in KZ would get to me at some point.

# To Seoulfood — Guest 2007-08-31 05:16

We are very different in that regard. That is exactly what I dislike about Halo, how lively it looks. It's too colorful for my taste. FPS's are about war and war is not pretty. I loved GOW and RFOM because of their gritty look and gameplay of course. No matter how good the graphics are it just doesn't seem real if you have Red, Blue, and Green enemys. lol I own a PS3 and a 360 I've already pre-ordered Halo 3 but I definitely will be spending more time playing Killzone 2. I don't think it's right to charge people for playing on-line, especially when they have so much advertisement splattered all over the dashboard and the marketplace. I don't have a Gold account and I loved playing Gears on line. But once my free month subscription to Gold expired I never played on line again on my 360. It's not that I'm cheap, (that's obviously not the case as I have the 360 and the PS3) but I just don't think it's right. Halo might be the game to get me to buy a gold account but I'm not sure if I'll be getting the full year subscription though. Killzone will definitely kick some serious ass. And that's my 2 cents. Oh and if you wanna talk about stealing ideas you should take a look at Killswtich and then see who stole what from whom. lol http://www.gametrailers.com/player/1798.html You guys should really check this out and then talk about who stole what.

He might just be demonstrating the game but hes doing a poor job of it. He should kick some ass to show how effective these features are. He's gotta sell it to the audience.

# low res — Guest 2007-08-31 06:03

is it me or are the vast majority of the textures on killzone 2 so low res like when he uses the wall for cover this is the main difference between halo 3 and killzone halo 3 uses hi res textures on everything not just the player models

# gameplay — Guest 2007-08-31 06:20

gameplay wise gears of war is lot more slower than killzone2 that fat son of the ***** dosent move backward or in right or left fast just runs forward like bull graphicaly killzone is best game ever made till now because ps3 has just started to show unbelievable graphics and detail which xbox360 can never give because of dvd now for ps3 there is lot more to come because these all games are devloped on 3d engine but 4d engine is in devlopment by epic and sony if u dont beleave check out www.psu.com site shows video from 4d engine thats why ps3 is only true next genration platform

# Hmmm — Guest 2007-08-31 09:50

Is it me, or are a lot of gamers saying 'is it me' today?

;)

# PS3 owners I thought you didnt like FPS games ? — Guest 2007-08-31 09:54

Trouble is dont PS3 owners NOT like FPS games ? and now that Lair and Heavenly sword are giving these games around 5 out of 10 this has better be more than good...............

# This isnt even close to GEars yet alone Bioshock — Guest 2007-08-31 09:59

This is nothing like Gears of War, Gears had a totlly never seen before scroling, this game looks just like RFOM type of play NOTHING SPECIAL...

# This game could be doomed — Guest 2007-08-31 10:03

God if this was on both systems you would not even comment, so PS3 owners if this is as bad as Lair and Heavenly sword reviews are turning out to be maybe you should say nothing, and 360 owners you have GEARS, Bioshock, Halo etc so why comment on this post?..

# Um — Guest 2007-08-31 12:30

Heavenly Sword got a 7 from ign so yeah.

# nope — Guest 2007-08-31 13:39

1. they started making killzone 2 about 2 yrs ago

2. this is like killzone 1

3. lean and peak also getting cover have been in what..... like hundread games before GoW

# holy crap — Guest 2007-08-31 13:44

manny's right Gears is a ripoff of Killswitch

# ... — Guest 2007-08-31 13:56

Only when a teaser gaming footage is when the actual content be awesome. As far as demonstrating the game, the only key features needed to be demonstrated are satisfactory enough. In this video, his goal is just to let everyone know about the peek/lean system.

It's informing not MARKETING nor ADVERTISING. Who knows, what if after the cut, he pawned all of those AI's... including the ones on his team?
