Only got to try the demo for five minutes at lunch. Wasn’t blown away, but probably because I’ve seen that exact same level about fifty times now. Movement felt really sluggish, and the responsiveness of the game just felt “off”, but I’ll probably get used to that.

Having played a ton of COD4, I was really thrown by having the rifle scope mapped to R3….but I’m guessing there’s a way to map it to L1 or L2 or something like that? Can we customize controls?

Oh…and [DELETED] move trying to use a game demo as a reward for pre-purchasing…

triplerivera  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:16 pm

its 4:15 and i still have problems with the code it keeps telling me no longer valid

mardur  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:17 pm

oh…i gots my bro downloading this for me right now. kind of bummed about no online for the demo but its still gonna be cool :)

trustter  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:18 pm

I played the demo and it was wicked. Thanks Sony and Guerrilla for doing this amazing game. I wish there were a Limited Edition. I would get the most expensive one.

:D

mendezgato  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

NICE downloading as we speak no the real wait starts ps 72%

mendezgato  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

i meant to say now the real wait starts

MegadethAndy  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Its not just the UK store, im downloading from an NZ account.

cronqvist  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:25 pm

DO WANT! Please, more info!

Dardantuan  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:26 pm

Gamestop.com has removed the link stating you get the code free with pre-orders… does that mean it is over, and too late to get it if you order it now? Bummer… I have been shafted by Gamestop the last 2 times I tried to pre-order thru them, they claim to ‘run out’ of the pre-order bonus items. Banjo Kazooie XBLA download code (the store I ordered at only got 3 vouchers, and 15 total pre-orders) and Mortal Kombat vs. DC t-shirt (they only got 2 shirts and 12 preorders total).

norm01  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:26 pm

I don’t feel so bad about downloading it off the EU PSN Store today without a Gamestop pre-order. I had pre-ordered at Amazon.com last week for the sweet price of $52.00 shipped.

los30  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:28 pm

i got the killzone 2 demo code from gamestop…..but when i put the code in it say that it is not valid…….and today is the 5 of feb…..do u know when i can download the killzone 2 demo or wat time?????????????

twooh  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:30 pm

I don’t buy at places like gamestop or ebgames.

Darnell0216  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Must… have…. that… gun!!

RandomEarthling  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

I hope you have to reserve the game through Amazon to get the replica since that’s what I did. Sadly, no demo code for me though.

Sneeches  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

I’m off work in 15 min, can’t wait to go home and give this a try :)

MadeInScotland  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

…..woe…….
Keep the great reviews coming!

louie_vitton  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:36 pm

I think it might be too late they took it off gamestops web site too.. But get it of eu no problem.. hey does anybody know if i get from like a russian ps accountant will the game be in russian lol? jus askin thanks

mafecto  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:39 pm

preordered from best buy, still cant get my theme to work. not a big deal, just a theme, but hey, its not working…

meta1militia_  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Sony,

Tell whoever is in charge of Killzone 2 to let us customize the controls!! Like hold L1 for scope, L2 to run, Hold L3 to crouch!

It would make the game soo much better..

mafecto  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

ps. gamestop sucks

louie_vitton  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:42 pm

Grab it of the eu store i jus did install almost done now!!!

Midgetguy  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:43 pm

AWESOME!!! I’m downloading the demo now!

And that replica… ooh it would be SO awesome if I could get my hands on one of those!!!!! (I might just start drooling now…)

louie_vitton  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:45 pm

oh yea its workin tight screw it pre ordered didnt get the code but didnt get upset jus found somewhere else to get it… but sweet im playing…

Carnivius_Prime  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:45 pm

Well I gave it a go despite generally loathing FPS games (far prefer third person stuff like Uncharted and God of War) and it’s ok but it’s not gonna convert me to liking the genre and I won’t be buying it.

Still that’s what demos are for eh. Wish the PSN store had demos for a lot more games.

Jeigh  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:46 pm

Already pre-ordered off of Amazon. Looking forward to my new Home outfits. :D

ROLO_ONFIRE  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

Gamestop sucks

singhjeet29  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

I went to 3 different EB games here in Canada … and none of them had codes … although in one store the girl I talked to thought they did, but the manager came and whispered something to her, and all I heard between the mumblings were something about saving it for someone else, probably staff member. So that annoyed me. So send out more codes. Its really annoying trying to find one.

Matt2005USAF  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:48 pm

This game is awesome but screw GameStop and just make a EU account and dl the SWEET demo!

MaDogNik96  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:48 pm

Thanks for the update. I have a feeling the gun will be part of some giveaway. Looks bad ass though. Is it a full scale replica or a miniature one?

TJ Consunji replied on February 5, 2009 at 3:10 pm

The replica is full scale…

TERWALLACE  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

I really am looking forward to this game, but it seems to me that there are some marketing efforts contradicting each other this time around. Amazon will get you stuff for Home, which is obviously a huge initiative right now, while Gamestop gets you the demo. That’s a tough choice for a lot of gamers.

But with that said, I’m not a big fan of giving out the demo as a pre-order exclusive. I think the demo should be a lot more accessible…it just seems counter-intuitive to restrict it to a pre-order, when it’s something that should be used to generate pre-orders instead.

mxpxboy  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

I LOVE the game. Great job, GG and Sony!!!

I do have two questions though.

1. Can you introduce an option to stay crouched without having to hold the button?

2. Will we ever be able to lay down?

Thanks so much and congrats on all the great press you’re receiving!!!

FFObsessed  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:53 pm

The demo is AMAZING btw. Even on normal the A.I. is excellent. Controls are weighty but accurate and responsive. The Helghasts death animations are incredible, it’s just soo much fun to shoot and so satisfying to kill enemies.

Graphics, sound, everything. Amazing.

WARRIOR4CHRIST  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:54 pm

PRAISE THE LORD!! KILLZONE 2 DEMO IS FINALLY HERE!! Back in 2004 I bought the ps2 for the first KILLZONE. I bought the PSP for Liberation,and I’ve owned ps3 because Playstation and KILLZONE rules!! I hope they come out with a collectors edition for KILLZONE like they did for Resistance 2.P.S I love the Gun!

jncasanova  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:55 pm

I really don’t get what GameStop thinks about the “demo after purchasing” promotion.

I only play demos to know if I want to buy the game or not. It’s useless to me having a demo after purchasing and sometimes if the demo doesn’t show how good the game is it could turn around the things and make purchasers take their money back. I know it will not be the case of this awesome game, but I have played demos of games I was waiting to purchase and decided to just rent those.

It’s nice when game developers gave an extra mini-game or something exclusive to those who preorder, like the replica for example, not a demo.

OmegaArchetype  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:58 pm

I just finished playing the demo about 10 times in a row, and all I can say is it’s amazing.

Can’t wait until the 27th.

JohanHin  |  February 5th, 2009 at 12:59 pm

Please someone pinch me. I must be dreaming…

Rogerjak  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:00 pm

I can see the contest for the weapon to be US only like always.

For once I wish I could have a chance on the contests of PS Blog.

mafecto  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:04 pm

EVERYBODY LISTEN:

Step 1. Create New User
Step 2: When signing up for PSN with new user, list United Kingdom as your area.
Step 3: Fill out rest of info with bogus info
Step 4: Got to UK PS Store from new users account.
Step 5: BAM! As soon as you enter the store there’s a huge banner for KZ2 demo.
Step 6: Download.

It works. I’m doing it right now. Screw Gamestop.

dimethyltryper  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:09 pm

Killzone 2 is the best in red-eye reduction.

ATLRoAcH  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

Has anyone noticed it has warzone and skirmish options that are locked out? I wish they would unlock them. lol.

gamer_316  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

OMFG I want so want that, it would look so good display and as for the demo, i’m downloading it from the UK cuz i’m gonna pre-order from amazon.com for the Home outfits

Sekoku  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

lol @ pre-order exclusive.

Maybe you should’ve made that replica the pre-order bonus. As I downloaded the demo from the EU store without having a pre-order.

Good going, Sony. At least I got to try the hype machine to see that if the controls aren’t fixed you’re not getting my money.

WINNERS_CIRCLE24  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:14 pm

nice dling it now thanks

dime5150  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Why are people continuing to ask how to get the demo? lol

bigblack404  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:16 pm

I reserved my copy last week. Can’t wait to get out of class to go and play the demo.

un-discovered  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:19 pm

mendezgato  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:24 pm

Prof_Khaos  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Hey…. anyone got an extra demo key? Message me on the network?

mendezgato  |  February 5th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
