Good news Killzone fans! Seb Downie of Guerrilla Games has confirmed the public beta for Killzone 2 for the PlayStation 3. The news was announced at Guerrilla Games' official forums with Downie under the handle motherH:Of course there is going to be a public beta, I have always said that any game that has an online mode needs to go through a public beta to ensure it works as intended.
More on a beta later this year.
Hmm... The beta was already a given, but the confirmation just opened a can of worms and questions. When exactly will we be seeing Killzone 2's beta? Who gets to join? Are there invites? Which countries will the beta be open to? We'll see to the answers to these questions as soon as they become available. Stay tuned for more Killzone 2 and PlayStation 3 news.

Or, maybe today at the Gamers Day.
My money is on E3.
I also think that Sony is going to wow everybody and make alot of Halo 2.5 players VERY jelous with how complete and how polished the game will be when they show it off for the first time.
I do not play FPS very often....kinda boring to me with a few exceptions over the years. Golden Eye, Medal of Honor, and Resistance.
If Killzone wows like I think it will, THIS will be the turning point in the console war and hopfully make the Trash60 look dated and make the PlumberBoy WeeCube look like Atari.
I know, I know, grafix don't matter...it's the gameplay that matters.
Ya, right, really, you don't say, using that logic, why don't we all just play games made on the Texas Instruments TRS-80? I mean, as long as the gameplay is good, who cares about the block that represents your runner in Olympics right?
No, Plumber Boys, grafix DO matter, they matter alot. Grafix without gameplay is a hollow experience but you need convincing grafix, enemy AI, deformable environments, proper lighting etc. AND good gameplay.
Have fun with your Wee this Mythmass while people with PS3's will be immersed in believable computer generated gameworlds. Yes, even the Crap60/Trash60 players will have some really good games and some more really good looking games also.
Go Frack yourselves PlumberBoys....
Go Frack yourself Nintendo...
Please, wake up, do not fall for the Plumber's BS excuse for a next-gen console that is really a dressed up GameCube.
The future of gaming and the continued evolution of computer entertainment is now in the hands of Microsoft and Sony....Please don't let us down.

Those who've seen Killzone 2 so far seem to be impressed, but no more impressed than any other next-gen FPS (with comments that it's no where near the E3 2005 trailer, but looks good just the same and very interactive).
So I'll reserve judgement until I've SEEN Killzone 2, seen the beta, and finally, see the actual game.

Because the article didn't insult the 360.

Well it had to happen but is this just another one of those obvious stories being elevated to hype unnecessarily?
On the Killzone site itself the developers blog is "coming soon". Perhaps it's best to wait until then.

Halo 2 :vista on PC running at 1600*1200 looks superior than the current Halo 3
the main point that i will be observing about killzone 2 is the destructable enviroments
if they manage to acheive a true destructable enviroment as they have hinted,with a smart level design and a multiplayer of no less than 24+...they would be revolutionizing the genre as destructable enviroments are the true next step
Halo3 is the possibly the cheapest attempt in life to suck cash from the drones,it offers nothing...absoulutley nothing
its the same as halo2......made with as little budget as possible to create the biggest income from hyping it to the drones
even the smallest effort by Sony will make Killzone2 superior,as Microsoft spent nothing on halo3 except hyping it
i only mourn the fools...the dornes who feel that they have to buy it to be "cool" and not left out
E3 2007...a lot will change at that event

Gears looks better than Halo 3. However, maybe the game is incomplete, and needs to get that HD, Hi res textures.. I don't know.
I'm hoping that Killzone 2 is good, because the PS3 needs another good FPS shooter thats online as well.
oh yeah, giving a shot out to Red Faction - for staring that destructible environtment stuff!

This world is getting so rediculous. House prices here is Australia are shocking, people can't even afford to move out. Can't imagine how bad it is overseas. There are water shortages (Our dam is under 30%) and soon we need to start recycling the *****ing water or shiping it in from other places. Global warming and *****ing world wars continue and nothing is being done about that. Prices of games are getting so high it's just not worth it.
Games are are great way to forget about how *****ing lame life really is. Without good games to keep your mind off the ***** hole we slaves of work live in, what would we do. You know what pisses me off? The *****ing Asians that hunt all the whales and dolphans. The ocean only has a few more years left before all the *****ing fish are wiped out. The Earth will continue living on perfectly fine without us. All us humans do is *****ing breed, ***** up the earth by cutting down trees, killing whats left of the endangered animals, burn all the fossel fuels and ***** up the only thing that keeps us alive the Ozone Layer.
There is no such thing as heven, when you die you are thrown into a hole in the ground and the worms eat you. Or you be burnt and your ashes thrown out making even more polution, even when your dead you ***** this planet up. There is no such thing as God and you are not put on this ***** heap AKA Earth for a reason.
You are born as slaves, you work for 50+ years in a ***** job for what? Nothing. All games have ***** graphics and it's better to shoot somone in real life than in a game. We are not considered intelligent life in this universe, we are considered as a waste of space. You don't control your life, you can't do what you want to do and Bill Gates is a *****ing *****.
Nobody gives a ***** about this planet and the future of our species. People leave it for the next generation do deal with. Are you happy that your kids are going to grow up in a *****ed up world all because people didn't do anything about it. Humans all fight over a thing called Money. WTF is money, do we need it? Of corse, without it who will have the power to control all the *****ing sheep AKA you!
There world will never live in peace because...
1. There are Asians (I'm not racist, I hate all races equally).
2. The world won't be around for that long, probbly be dead in 100 years.
*****ing America with their nukes. They have more nukes than the world put together. The only way they think they can stop the "terrorists" is to make more nukes than them. There will never be a new World War, because of the nukes. If somthing triggered another World War (Money...) everybody will just nuke eachother. Which is what Asians want. The Asians breed like rats and spread all over the world. They are going to take over and soon everybody will be speaking *****ing "dol ma, jai ka lo mo fried rice ahhh YAA, 2 dolla 50"
The prices of oil and petrol are just insane. We are getting ripped off and *****ing the Earth at the same time. Doesn't that just want to make you party? How many fat *****s are there in this world thanks to fast food industries? Fat people make it hareder for other *****s to do daily things such as walking down the street. Fat *****s need big cars, big cars = more fuel = more polution = world is *****ed up faster. Big cars also = bigger road which = more space needed = cut down more trees = less wildlife = less room for people = fig

The world is *****ed up and this ***** is happening everyday while you live your ***** life that nobody cares about. I know I've helped alot of people see the truth, so there is no need to thank me. And for ***** sake, there are no Aliens on this planet. The U.S government is not hiding anything. Harry Potter isn't real, drugs ***** you up so does alcohol.
There is 1 thing on this planet that is *****ing it up worse than others. That is Emo's. Don't get me started on *****ing ***** sucking, mother *****ing, stupid wanker Emo's.

how unfortunate..
humans have been killing each other enedlessly indeed,selfish-greedy and self-righteous they are nothing more than deceiving apes
but blaming a single race over another is naive,as much as i hate to say it...the only country in the world that used a weapon of mass destruction is america,nuking japan twice killing many in the process
the massacres that happened in europe during world-war 1 and 2 is another showcase of the human nature
why go far....the most succesful games almost always revolve around killing,from halo,gear to gos of war and GTA
i will agree that most if not all of humans are walking trash who think they are free,when they are enslaved the moment they were born
an individual will never think out-side of what his genes allows,just like why a cat is a cat and cant talk,and why dogs are dogs and they cant fly
everything is pre-determined in your gentic encoding,you will never comprehened that what your genes do not allow you to
the major problem is that natural selection have ended,humans are freely breeding...regardless of their genetics,any deseased person have the right to breed and bring more of his kind
that is why earth is filled with the drones,and why intellectual types are so few...and so miserable
intelligent people are always hated by the drones,and if you are cursed to be born in the wrong place...as an intelligent individual you are doomed
i guess its useless to talk about..the world belongs to them,not us

But we gamers haven't SEEN Killzone 2 as yet!
All we've seen is the pre-rendered CGI trailer from E3 2005, two years ago.
So like I said, wait until we SEE the game first.

And your post was nothing but pointless, uniformed shots at Halo.
The purpose of the beta was to test the network code, weapon balance and other areas before the game ships, it was not a game demo or a graphics demonstration, and so it tells us nothing, absolutely NOTHING about the single player game for Halo 3.
So to use the multiplayer beta as the basis of claiming nothing has changed for Halo 3 is VERY ignorant indeed (sorry to say that, but it is).
By all means be excited for Killzone 2, but please don't act like the idiots who overhyped the original Killzone over Halo only to be let down later.

While Killzone will probably be the first DECENT game to come out on the PS3, the fact that they're Ok-ing a public beta test makes us 360 owners cackle. Looks to ME like Sony's jealous. And while that may not be the case, having the "Halo Killer" release a public beta after Halo 3's public beta just looks like Sony's pompous ass trying to convince everyone that they're better than Microsoft. Numbers don't lie, people. If Halo is such a tired formula, why has it sold so much better than Killzone? You think Killzone 2 isn't going to be more repetitive crap? It has to be, because it's the same storyline. That's how sequels go. I mean, if you want to talk about recycling, might I bring up your PS3 exclusive Ninja Gaiden Sigma? You want to talk rehash? That's all this game IS. This game is EXACTLY the same as Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox, which was a rehash of Ninja Gaiden on the same console. All it has is enhanced graphics, some new moves, and maybe a few new stages. Aside from that, it's the EXACT SAME GAME, and I mean VERBATUM. Storyline's the same, character is the same, levels (aside from the new ones) are the same (just with better graphics). I mean, if you want to talk rehash, I think you PS3 losers take the CAKE on that one.
All of you and the whopping other 250,000 PS3 users can go ahead and wait for your precious Killzone 2. But i guarantee you that Halo 3's first month of sales will blow away Killzone 2's first month, even IF you include the sales from people buying PS3's to play the game.

no one hyped ninja gaiden ***** like halo3,ps3 owners never mention it and no one is anticipating it or hyping it
Killzone 2 is engineered to feature full Destrutable enviroments a huge step above red-faction,making it completely different than the original killzone and any game in this genre for that matter
as for why does Halo3 sell,becuz people are morons and feel they have to match the "trend" or why does those crap madden games sell
there is no arguing about it,Halo3 is a recycled garbage
if you want halo3 badly....get Halo2:Vista,tha ts Halo3 alright

I guess that's why so many buy the MGS series, the GT series, the RE series etc. They are all morons who know nothing about games and only follow everyone else.
Or...and this is just an idea...maybe, just maybe, there is something great in those game series which gamers enjoy (even if YOU don't), and that includes Halo.
I'm not a MGS fan, but I'm not going to claim it sucks or that everyone who buys MGS4 are morons for doing so, because I can appreciate what's great in the MGS series, even though it doesn't appeal to me personally.
So to say Halo 3 will be recycled garbage purchased by morons, only makes you out to be the moron, not the fans of the Halo series.
I also agree with Yawn above. People should wait until the see K2 before acting like it's going to be the greatest game ever. This happened with Killzone ("OMG, it's going to use Nurbs"), and we saw how that turned out. I'm sure Killzone 2 will be very polished, and perhaps it may be a great game, but I'm going to wait and see like other sensible gamers.

hopefully then after i teach you about why killzone 2 will be only still tickling the ps3, that you will stop smoking meth, you can think the game is impossible but sony built the ps3 to do impossible things anyway, in which even from killzone 2, and final fantasy 13, and even eight days standpoint you will never understand why the statements that you have stated were FUTILE, and also howd you get the idea the the game doesnt look better than the trailer right now, and even before now the lead developer of GG said that he wouldnt show the game until he exceeded gamers expectations, what he meant by that is that he aint showing the game to you that are unbelievers, but to those that fully understand the ps3s power like me, and know that this game doesnt begin to show what ps3 is truely capable of. that is all meth doers
