17:19 guest248396 how goes it?
17:19 guest248396 (This is Nathan btw)
17:20 guest248396 I'm on my bro's computer
17:20 DC-StevenMcGehee Hah, good man; how about you?
17:20 guest248396 Just got back from Louisville....
17:20 guest248396 Glad to be back :)
17:20 guest248396 (ninja)
17:20 DC-StevenMcGehee Good deal :)
17:20 DC-StevenMcGehee I'm ready to get this thing started lol
17:20 guest248396 you got a whopping 40 minutes.
17:20 DC-StevenMcGehee Replayed some of the checkpoints in the different missions and took several notes.
17:20 guest248396 that's awesome
17:20 guest248396 You'll be quite prepared.
17:21 guest248396 Hopefully we can get some folks on here.
17:21 guest248396 If not, excellent test regardless.
17:21 DC-StevenMcGehee I hope so; I'll post a general reminder that they can PM or email me anytime with questions.
17:21 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah
17:21 guest248396 We've got some big plans for E3.
17:21 guest248396 I'm stoked about this, man.
17:21 guest248396 It's like going to E3 again for the first time.
17:21 guest248396 :D
17:21 DC-StevenMcGehee Me too, I'm sure I'll really feel even more excited when I start to get a better idea of the cost, lol
17:21 guest248396 lol
17:21 DC-StevenMcGehee Hah, yeah no doubt :)
17:21 guest248396 ditta
17:22 guest248396 ditto
17:22 DC-StevenMcGehee lol
17:22 DC-StevenMcGehee denuts
17:22 guest248396 (just like in ghost)
17:22 guest248396 denuts
17:22 guest248396 lol
17:22 DC-StevenMcGehee that press release was hilarious
17:22 guest248396 Best press release Leif ever had.
17:22 DC-StevenMcGehee hehe
17:23 guest248396 MrE hath arrived
17:23 guest248396 Welcome, MrE
17:23 MrE hell guest
17:23 MrE hello
17:23 guest248396 lol
17:23 MrE lol
17:23 DC-StevenMcGehee lol
17:23 guest248396 (skull)
17:23 DC-StevenMcGehee that's Helghast, not Helguest :P
17:23 MrE lol, smileys
17:23 guest248396 haha
17:23 MrE are we asking questions yet?
17:23 MrE not yet I guess, it says 8
17:23 guest248396 Plenty of time to socialize....
17:24 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, I'm just anxious :]
17:24 guest248396 btw.... I saw Windows 7
17:24 guest248396 It's what Vista should of been.
17:24 guest248396 Othersteve!
17:24 DC-StevenMcGehee Nice; I saw a few screenshots, looks like it's still too much GUI going on.
17:24 guest248396 Speaking of Windows 7
17:24 DC-StevenMcGehee haha, welcome welcome :)
17:24 OtherSteve I love Windows 7
17:25 OtherSteve I run it
17:25 guest248396 I love Windows 7
17:25 OtherSteve am doing so right now in fact
17:25 guest248396 MrE what is your platform of choice?
17:25 DC-StevenMcGehee So if you suddenly drop out of this chat..guess that'd be you rebooting. haha jk
17:25 MrE I'm a Windows guy also
17:25 guest248396 lol
17:25 OtherSteve rofl
17:25 OtherSteve no seriously, it's about as stable as vista
17:25 guest248396 He's not running Vista anymore, he'll be fine.
17:25 OtherSteve and MUCH faster
17:26 DC-StevenMcGehee You know I've actually hardly ever used Vista, I'm hoping to completely skip it and go right from Win98SE to 7
17:26 DC-StevenMcGehee lol, jk.. XP SP2 to 7.
17:26 guest248396 As is everyone....
17:26 OtherSteve don't blame you
17:26 guest248396 Vista = ME
17:26 OtherSteve 7 is really that great
17:26 OtherSteve have you seen the benchmarks?
17:26 DC-StevenMcGehee I haven't
17:26 guest248396 Guys, I'll be back closer to 8
17:26 DC-StevenMcGehee Cool man
17:26 OtherSteve It'll surprise you,
17:26 guest248396 MrE, talk to these fellas. They are interesting. :D
17:26 OtherSteve it's actually faster than XP in almost every way
17:26 guest248396 ttys, guys
17:27 MrE i'm just hanging until the Q&A starts
17:27 MrE see ya
17:27 DC-StevenMcGehee ttys
17:27 OtherSteve I wonder how this video thing works
17:27 DC-StevenMcGehee That's definitely cool about W7
17:27 OtherSteve I probably should know considering that it's our site
17:27 OtherSteve lol
17:27 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, I've never tried it.
17:27 OtherSteve yeah man, really
17:27 DC-StevenMcGehee lol
17:27 OtherSteve you'll get to see it at E3
17:27 OtherSteve I will be running it during the show
17:28 OtherSteve I have been prepping
17:28 DC-StevenMcGehee Cool, I probably wont' get around to installing the beta before then :P
17:28 OtherSteve I started on Vista 32-bit and my video render time for a 1 min test file in HD format (that we'll use at E3) was 8m17s
17:28 OtherSteve then I upgraded to Win 7 64-bit
17:28 OtherSteve and I'm not kidding
17:28 OtherSteve 4m23s
17:28 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh that rocks.
17:29 OtherSteve granted supplemental software and the 64-bit architecture are primarily to credit
17:29 OtherSteve but still
17:29 DC-StevenMcGehee I wonder how that will scale for larger files?
17:29 OtherSteve should be linear I'd think
17:29 OtherSteve after all it's sequential video processing
17:29 DC-StevenMcGehee Good point :)
17:29 OtherSteve if you want to know how crazy I am... I bought 8 GB RAM for my laptop
17:29 DC-StevenMcGehee haha, I saw that email, I know that was $$
17:29 OtherSteve I figure I'll need it doing writing/surfing/HD editing at E3
17:29 OtherSteve lol
17:29 OtherSteve yeah
17:29 DC-StevenMcGehee Don't drop that laptop :)
17:30 OtherSteve lol
17:30 OtherSteve I may extend my accidental damage protection plan also
17:30 OtherSteve heh
17:30 OtherSteve they gave me the last one free because I buy so many computers from them for other people
17:30 DC-StevenMcGehee Heh very nice; could very well be worth it.
17:31 OtherSteve I think I may be able to get some people to the chat.
17:31 OtherSteve lol
17:31 DC-StevenMcGehee Sounds just fine :)
17:31 OtherSteve it's early though
17:31 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, it still is.
17:32 DC-StevenMcGehee If nothing else I hope I get lots of PMs and emails afterwards <shrugs>
17:33 OtherSteve whoops
17:33 OtherSteve weird
17:33 DC-StevenMcGehee hehe
17:33 MrE brb in a bit
17:33 DC-StevenMcGehee cool, thanks for coming :)
17:38 MrE can we ask now?
17:38 MrE My first question is: how long are the missions?
17:38 OtherSteve Hey guys, welcome to the chat
17:38 OtherSteve Steven M's about to begin in a few moments
17:38 Diddydan hey
17:39 OtherSteve He's apparently finished the whole game
17:39 Lazzy128 hey
17:39 Diddydan really
17:39 OtherSteve I'm the Nintendo editor so I haven't touched the game myself :D
17:39 Diddydan is it like a web cam?
17:39 OtherSteve no, it's text only; that's for videos if you want to paste links
17:39 OtherSteve actually I've never used it yet
17:39 OtherSteve wonder if it works :P
17:39 OtherSteve lol
17:39 DC-StevenMcGehee Hey guys, I'm back :)
17:39 Diddydan ooo
17:39 Diddydan hey
17:39 MrE Hey StevenM
17:40 MrE How long are the missions?
17:40 MrE (if we're starting Q&A)
17:40 DC-StevenMcGehee One sec; let me paste in some of my notes:
17:40 Diddydan kk
17:40 MrE awesome
17:40 Diddydan have u got a review for the game yet?
17:40 anon Is this the KZ2 chat thingy?
17:40 DC-StevenMcGehee Now keep in mind I'm only supposed to talk about the first 6 missions... and, btw, I did play on Veteran (Hard).
17:40 Diddydan cool
17:40 OtherSteve The review isn't allowed yet, it's under embargo
17:40 DC-StevenMcGehee Corinith River - 1h6m...Blood Meridian - 43m...Visari Square - 56m...Salamun District - 1h10m...Salumun Bridge - 1h8m..Suljeva Village - 1h1m
17:41 OtherSteve however we can chat now
17:41 MrE nice!
17:41 DC-StevenMcGehee Those are the first six missions, their names and my completetion times.
17:41 Diddydan how many levels where there in whole
17:41 MrE You took notes on the lengths!
17:41 DC-StevenMcGehee 10 total missions
17:41 emme hey boyz! is thiz the cyber chat room?! :D
17:41 Diddydan cool
17:41 DC-StevenMcGehee Well, the game actually captures a lot of stats for you.
17:41 OtherSteve emme, yes
17:41 DC-StevenMcGehee And so I just had to look :)
17:41 OtherSteve you're in the right spot
17:41 Diddydan have you played any online?
17:41 emme great!
17:41 Diddydan ?
17:41 Diddydan have u played online?
17:41 anon So, i heard there is a call of duty style control scheme, can you tell me about it?
17:42 emme nah. im done. im here for kz2 lol
17:42 guest248396 Hey Diddy, he has.
17:42 DC-StevenMcGehee I have; I spent a few hours in the Beta, but then also about another 3-4 hours to this point with this Review Build we have.
17:42 DC-StevenMcGehee SCEA's PR team hosts online matches every so often, they've had about three this month.
17:42 emme answer me this: in your opinion, is it better than Halo?
17:42 OtherSteve Steven can't comment on the quality of the game yet :(
17:42 Diddydan i was wondering if there is a party system online?
17:42 OtherSteve it's not allowed :D
17:43 Diddydan ?
17:43 DC-StevenMcGehee Well, I'm actually not a huge Halo fan -- for me personally it is because I like the story and the 'universe' Guerrila Games has built better than that of Halos. For gameplay, I'd say it's pretty darn similar.
17:43 OtherSteve Sorry Diddy, he's typing as quickly as he can :P
17:43 Diddydan steven is there a party system or a new innovative way of implementing ut
17:43 Diddydan ok
17:43 emme similar as in the way the game is played or similar as in how good it is?
17:44 Diddydan i know its got to be hard
17:44 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, I can't get very specific, you know -- we'll have our review up on the morning of Feb 2nd, which is the day the embargo is lifted. Thanks for the questions though.
17:44 OtherSteve Thanks for coming everyone, we'll try to get around to everybody.
17:44 anon What different control schemes are there?
17:44 DC-StevenMcGehee DiddyDan, wish I could be more specific for you, but I haven't spent a whole lot of time on the Halo games :-\
17:44 Diddydan ?
17:45 Diddydan i wasnt talking bout halo
17:45 emme anon, good question. im really hoping theres an option to use R1 to shoot
17:45 DC-StevenMcGehee Hm, for control schemes, you can customize your buttons. I went with the default ones; there is some minor SIXAXIS use as well, and plenty of Dualshock use :)
17:45 Diddydan wanted to know if theres some sort of part system
17:45 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, sorry Diddy, I meant emme. My bad.
17:45 Diddydan ok
17:45 anon thx!!!
17:45 anon :D
17:45 Diddydan steven are u not allowed to talk about the party system then?
17:45 MrE steven, what's your favorite of the first six missions you can talk about?
17:46 DC-StevenMcGehee anon, I can give you the specfic control layouts if you email or PM me.. and actually, if anyone has a question I can't get to, or don't know -- feel free to PM or email me and I'll be sure to respond.
17:46 emme when you say customize, you mean, like Haze? In haze(inb4 hazesucks) you were able to customize every single button to whatever you wanted. Is it similar?
17:46 DC-StevenMcGehee I don't know about the Party System -- I don't think there is one, I'll have to look closer, but I didn't see anything right off to suggest one, nor have I heard about one.
17:46 Diddydan ok
17:46 Lazzy128 Is it easy to get a group of friends together and join games?? can be difficult in some shooters
17:47 DC-StevenMcGehee MrE, favorite of the first six missions is probably the Salamun Bridge mission; very intense.
17:47 MrE awesome, if we have time later i'd love details
17:47 Diddydan do you know if they've implemented killzone into home in anyway?
17:47 DC-StevenMcGehee emme, on those controls -- to be 100% sure, I'll need to double check. I looked over the controls and used the in-game tutorials as they came, and I didn't make any changes. But I'm 95% sure you can adjust every single button.
17:47 emme I see.
17:48 DC-StevenMcGehee Diddy, no word on KZ2 implementation into Home.
17:48 guest935544 Did you get to use that machine where you use it as an exo skeleton? Almost like a huge robot suit.
17:48 Diddydan ok
17:48 DC-StevenMcGehee Lazzy128, for getting friends together, so far what I've been able to join into has primarily been against other people either in the multiplayer beta from a month or so ago, or just against other outlets that received the Review Code.
17:48 Lazzy128 kk
17:49 DC-StevenMcGehee I don't actually know any of those guys, so I wasn't able to get together with them, I just joined a match SCEA PR started up and went from there :)
17:49 algorithman Hello
17:49 OtherSteve Yeah that's normally how it works
17:49 emme yi
17:49 OtherSteve Hello Algorithman, thanks for coming!
17:49 emme yo*
17:49 OtherSteve We'll get to your questions as quickly as possible; post away. :)
17:49 algorithman who are you othersteve
17:49 DC-StevenMcGehee As far as the robot suit, it is useable, not in multiplayer, but in the campaign, but that's not in the first six missions so I really can't say anything more about it (we were asked not to talk about the missions beyond #6)
17:50 Lazzy128 Best ps3 shooter so far??
17:50 OtherSteve I'm the Nintendo editor, so I guess in some regards I'm pretty irrelevant in this context
17:50 OtherSteve lol
17:50 OtherSteve Nice to meet you though!
17:50 NeoFatality oh ok thanks anyway
17:50 algorithman so how can you answer our questions?
17:50 emme good question Lazzy.
17:50 OtherSteve StevenM is answering.
17:50 DC-StevenMcGehee Lazzy -- it likely is the best PS3 exclusive shooter so far, yes.
17:50 algorithman other steve, Whats the meaning of Life? :(
17:51 OtherSteve DC-StevenMcGehee is the Sony editor... as for the meaning of life, we'll save that for a mailbag someday. :D
17:51 Lazzy128 Lol very careful with your wors there :)
17:51 Diddydan what website are you guys from?
17:51 Lazzy128 *words
17:51 NeoFatality How about the lightning gun? Specific name to it? Also is it as great as it seems from most of the videos I've watched?
17:51 OtherSteve Scroll up--DigitalChumps.com. :D We're brand-new in name, but we used to be the staff of Gamerz-Edge, which was around for years before
17:52 OtherSteve And we're all hardcore and love what we do ;)
17:52 Diddydan and where will this review of the game be?
17:52 DC-StevenMcGehee There is an 'electric gun' you get in the latter missions; it's pretty darn effective and actually recharges so it doesn't have any specific ammo you pick up. It's actually just called the electric gun.
17:52 NeoFatality Cool thanks
17:52 Lazzy128 Is ammo very limited throughout the game??
17:52 DC-StevenMcGehee The review will be on the main page on the morning of Feb 2nd, the day the embargo is lifted.
17:52 algorithman how do i know you guys are for real i just got the message from gamefaqs that some guys doing a killzone info. If you wanna prove your real send me a ps3 and i'll believe :)
17:52 OtherSteve It is embargoed until Feb. 2, but on that very day you will find StevenM's full review here on the site. It will likely be among the best on the internet if I dare say so on his behalf :)
17:53 emme Is this embargo on the majority of reviewing sites/magazines?
17:53 Diddydan steven is there anything you can tell us about the demo comming out if you pre ordered?
17:53 OtherSteve Algorithman, PM me your mailing address. (kidding ;))
17:53 NeoFatality cool *bookmarked* : )
17:53 DC-StevenMcGehee Ammo was never a huge problem; at the start of missions you begin with a gun and full ammo, and you can pick up their weapons as you go, and there are also just racks of weapons at certain points you can use to fill up, or change out.
17:53 OtherSteve emme, all but one magazine/site generally. More than likely one site has rights to post a review earlier, but then everyone else must wait.
17:54 algorithman othersteve, is there more semi auto weapon othere than the 1 dubuted in the videos
17:54 DC-StevenMcGehee Diddy, sorry, we have no info on the demo.
17:54 Diddydan ok
17:54 emme I see. Do you guys have any info on the demo being released Feb. 5th?
17:54 OtherSteve Neo, thanks man, we'd be honored to have you and your friends as part of our new community.
17:54 emme Ah, nvm lol
17:54 Diddydan lol
17:54 NeoFatality How many weapons in total? Also forgot to ask, is the electric gun available in multiplayer?
17:54 MrE Steven I have another question actually, just got back... which weapon is the coolest?
17:55 Diddydan steven, could you tell me some more about the chracter you play as in singleplayer?
17:55 DC-StevenMcGehee As far as being as cool as in the videos -- forgot who asked that sorry -- well, depends on what you're looking for, but as a whole, and I'll save more specifics for the review, this is largely a CoD style game; nothing terribily revolutionary about it.
17:55 algorithman .....
17:55 DC-StevenMcGehee Total number of weapons... um, from memory -- eight or nine. I haven't seen the electric gun in MP, actually.
17:55 algorithman i think steve's dead....
17:55 Nicktheman So, is the online similarly addicting to COD4?
17:55 Diddydan ?
17:55 Lazzy128 Is there a level system online??
17:56 DC-StevenMcGehee MrE, my favorite weapon, and this isn't very interesting at all, is probably just the stanard M82 that you start with. It's a typical assault rifle but it does great, I like it's holo-dot site, and it looks good :)
17:56 MrE ok cool thx
17:57 Diddydan steven can you say some more about the chracter you play as?
17:57 DC-StevenMcGehee I liked some of the modes for online, but as a straight comparison I do like CoD 4 better, although I haven't played it in a good while.
17:57 algorithman does enemy turrets shoot you if you'r a sabateur and disguised?
17:57 DC-StevenMcGehee Diddy, for single player, you play a guy named Sev, not John Templar from the other two KZ games, although he is in the story.
17:58 Diddydan ahh
17:58 DC-StevenMcGehee He does speak, you do see him quite a bit in cutscenes, but he's fairly generic.. you really don't learn much about him at all throughout.
17:58 Diddydan thx
17:58 MrE how many difficulties are there?
17:58 Diddydan 4
17:58 DC-StevenMcGehee Algo, I don't believe you can be disguised in MP -- you're either ISA or Helghast, and the bot turrets will attack accordingly, but I don't know that there is a disguise, really don't think so though.
17:58 DC-StevenMcGehee MrE, four. Recruit, Trooper, Veteran, and Elite I believe are their names.
17:58 MrE oh ok, thanks diddy
17:58 Diddydan there is a disguise
17:58 kobefancam I've heard there isn't co op in review builds, is there still a chance that it will make it to the finished version?
17:58 MrE thanks
17:59 Nicktheman Here is a chart I found of the level system, and everything you unlock from those levels:
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9973/killzonepe…killzoneperksnoscalefy6
17:59 Lazzy128 Is there a level/ranking system online??
17:59 DC-StevenMcGehee I've only heard that co-op may be added afterwards.
17:59 DC-StevenMcGehee Lazzy, there is a ranking system, yes.
17:59 algorithman umm there are classes, sabateur lets u disguise yourself!!!
17:59 Diddydan steven you can disguise
17:59 DC-StevenMcGehee Ah ha; I didn't know that. I've spent most of my time in single player. Thanks for the info.
17:59 OtherSteve Thanks again for coming everyone; rest assured we will try to get around to everyone's questions.
18:00 MrE StevenM, is the game challenging?
18:00 algorithman please tell me no auto aim is in the game
18:00 NeoFatality Interesting chart there
18:00 Nicktheman ^^
18:00 DC-StevenMcGehee Algo, no there is not auto aim. Your crosshair turns red when over an enemy, but it won't snap over to them.
18:00 MrE auto aim sucked even back in goldeneye, lol
18:01 algorithman ok thanks :)
18:01 DC-StevenMcGehee MrE, I found it pretty difficult on Veteran, yeah; total game time on it was 10h11m.
18:01 MrE nice good length
18:01 DC-StevenMcGehee No problem, thanks for the question.
18:01 NeoFatality Does the FPS cover system work well?
18:01 Diddydan heres a link to some info on the classes
18:01 Lazzy128 Thanks for answering ym questions, im off
18:01 Diddydan http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=killzone2&thread.id=107850&page=1
18:01 d-ray does it take a while to level up
18:02 Nicktheman I actually heard KZ1 had a 30 hour campaign. never played it myself being too young and all
18:02 OtherSteve Lazzy, thanks for coming, hope to see you again soon.
18:02 DC-StevenMcGehee Covering is done with L2 by default, and you just attach to whatever wall you're next to; you lean out with the analog stick... it works pretty well, no major complaints. I have yet to figure out how to blind fire though, although the Helghast AI do it.
18:02 NeoFatality Cool
18:02 Diddydan Saboteur/SaboteurPrimary: Assumes the disguise of a randomly selected enemy player.
18:02 Diddydan there u go
18:02 algorithman does the "iron sight" accuracy much better than the hipfire accuracy? or is the game leaning more to 'hip fire'. I think the vids on youtube show A LOT OF SUCCESSFULL hipfire i NO like that
18:02 DC-StevenMcGehee Nicktheman, KZ one was good... I actually just played through it around Christmas. It took me under 12 hours on Normal, I'll say that much. Definitely not 30.
18:03 DC-StevenMcGehee Thanks Diddy; I will spend most of the rest of my time in MP with it befoe the review.
18:03 DC-StevenMcGehee Btw, for leveling up, for what I've played so far it's not that difficult. Even in losing you still get quite a few points. You get more for earning 'Ribbons' like getting so many kills so fast, etc..
18:04 d-ray thanks that doesnt sound to bad
18:04 d-ray i remember resistance 2 kinda took forever
18:04 OtherSteve For everyone's information: The entire chat log will be posted following the close of the Q&A later tonight.
18:04 DC-StevenMcGehee Algo, good question. I really didn't use the iron sites much, unless I was using (of course) the sniper rifle or the M82 (the default ISA assault rifle). I relied primarily on the crosshairs turning red for those distant enemies (or explosives).
18:04 OtherSteve So if you want to catalog it all, just check the site afterwards for records of all your questions!
18:05 algorithman Can you carry 2 primary, for example i have a sniper and i switch to pist, so i can pic up a dead guys shotgun.
18:05 Diddydan is the cloaking system implemented for the scout well?
18:06 Nicktheman algo i think its only 1 main weapon+pistol
18:06 DC-StevenMcGehee Diddy, haven't honestly tested that much yet. That too is something I can report back to you on.
18:06 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, that's right.
18:07 DC-StevenMcGehee You can carry 1 primary, 3 grenades, your knife, and a revolver. You also carry these "D-Charges" which are only useable when they're needed in the mission.
18:07 Nicktheman I'm assuming the magnum dosent count as a pistol?
18:07 algorithman wait you havent played multiplayer?
18:07 DC-StevenMcGehee Actually it does, there are no other pistols.
18:07 Diddydan nick your right but you are able to combine classes
18:07 DC-StevenMcGehee I have played MP, but only about 5 hours aggregate.
18:07 OtherSteve StevenM has only been able to play with others online, and there aren't many on yet seeing as the game hasn't been released
18:07 Nicktheman Magnum is the only pistol? Hmmm, thought I had found a weapon list somewhere that said otherwise
18:08 OtherSteve For multiplayer I mean.
18:08 Diddydan no magnum isnt the only pistol
18:08 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah it's the only pistol; you can't drop it, it has infinite ammo.
18:08 Diddydan really
18:08 DC-StevenMcGehee And there are no others to be picked up. Just a selection of primaries.
18:08 Diddydan my fault
18:08 algorithman So if i pick scout and swith my sniper for say, a shotgun, i can go around cloaked and shotgunning people :) or it wont allow me just becaused i swithed a primary weapon
18:08 Diddydan algo you are able to combine two classes
18:09 MrE this chat is really cool with the images and links
18:09 NeoFatality Can you explain the concept of combining classes?
18:09 Diddydan http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=killzone2&thread.id=107850&page=1
18:09 d-ray yea thats confusing
18:09 Diddydan go there
18:09 OtherSteve steven, people are saying that the flow of the game is a big deal, and that trophies can be earned by beating bosses quickly, etc... what have you seen if anything?
18:09 Diddydan it explanes all of it
18:09 OtherSteve That's my question :)
18:09 Nicktheman I found another pistol
18:09 Nicktheman
http://www.videogamer.com/features/article/21-01-2…
18:10 NeoFatality Thanks man
18:10 DC-StevenMcGehee I've gotten a couple of Trophies in beating the Heavies quickly, yes. I assume you get one for beating the ATAC boss quick, but I totally didn't beat it quickly :)
18:10 OtherSteve Heh, thanks :)
18:10 d-ray how are the load times?
18:10 NeoFatality Wow I'm very impressed with all the combinations
18:10 DC-StevenMcGehee It has a fine flow, initial mission load time are about 30s, then there are some points where "Loading.." pops up during the mission, but this causes just a 1 or 2s skip in the framerate.
18:10 DC-StevenMcGehee WHen you die, to reload the checkpoint, it's under 10s.
18:11 d-ray thanks
18:11 NeoFatality Does it the describe each combination in the game?
18:11 DC-StevenMcGehee np, glad to answer what I can. I apologize for the lack of MP knowledge at this time :)
18:11 Diddydan np
18:11 algorithman can i remap the controls so much, that it resembles the COD4 with shooting at the R2 and aiming at L2?
18:11 Diddydan steven will you be playing the demo?
18:11 Nicktheman Steven, have you not encountered the pistol in the following link:
http://www.videogamer.com/features/article/21-01-2…
18:12 DC-StevenMcGehee Algo, I'm fairly certain you can. I kept with the default map personally, but it's quite customizable.
18:12 algorithman oh and is it toggle aiming(iron sight view, hold or click)
18:12 DC-StevenMcGehee I don't plan on playing the demo right now; I may, hadn't planned on it though :)
18:12 DC-StevenMcGehee Let me check that link Nick...
18:13 d-ray i just saw agameplay vid that had multiplayer and the guy did not have a magnum
18:13 Diddydan algo im pretty sure its hold
18:13 DC-StevenMcGehee Hm, honestly, I haven't.
18:13 d-ray it was the other pistol in the link
18:13 algorithman good thnx diddy
18:13 Diddydan np
18:13 Nicktheman Well than. Theres another reason for you to play the game again when it releases :P
18:14 DC-StevenMcGehee Ha, no kidding :) .. hm, from that screenshot, that looks like mission 6, Suljeva Village
18:14 Nicktheman its actually a video. if you click it. itll play
18:14 DC-StevenMcGehee I'll load those checkpoints up again tonight and verify that it wasn't a gun that some Helghast dropped that I just didn't see. Hrm.
18:14 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh hah, good call :)
18:14 NeoFatality I can guess most classes will be combined with assault
18:15 MrE is the game pretty well balanced from what you can tell?
18:15 Diddydan yer
18:15 Diddydan not answering MrE srry
18:15 algorithman why dont helghast have green dot sight, thats a bit unbalanced for people playing as helghast in MP. Can they choose their helghast rifle OR the ISA's
18:15 MrE its ok diddy I know :)
18:16 d-ray yes tehy can choose
18:16 DC-StevenMcGehee MrE, um, yeah I would say it is. I know that's a vague answer.
18:16 MrE it's ok i wasnt looking for anything specific, i just wanted to know how you felt about it
18:16 DC-StevenMcGehee yep, d-ray is correct, you can choose.
18:16 NeoFatality When using a Scout/Medic combo, can you use the med pack on yourself?
18:16 algorithman lol
18:16 Diddydan neo you can yer
18:16 NeoFatality thanks
18:17 Diddydan i was watching a vid and he put a med kit dowen and healed himself
18:17 Diddydan down*
18:17 MrE that's good i guess
18:17 NeoFatality Scratch that, Assault/Assault combo will be first choice for new players
18:18 algorithman ^i dont want THAT :(
18:18 MrE hehe
18:18 MrE herbal essences, yay
18:18 Nicktheman lol advertisement?
18:18 algorithman i have head and shoulders :)
18:18 DC-StevenMcGehee haha
18:18 d-ray wow lol
18:18 OtherSteve Head and Shoulders represent. Anyway, let's keep the questions coming :)
18:18 Nicktheman which shampoo do the helghast use?
18:18 OtherSteve Heh :P
18:18 Diddydan your team ai and enemy ai
18:19 algorithman yay its 2 in one so 1 was and you're good
18:19 d-ray any reason why teh helghast assult rifle lost t ered sight from killzone 1?
18:19 NeoFatality Also what do they mean by temporarily boosing speed, as in you go faster for a short amount of time and go normal speed for the rest of the game?
18:19 Diddydan yer i was wondering that too neo
18:19 algorithman exactly taht
18:19 Nicktheman Ah yes. I have heard in many places the AI isnt all that great, and in other places that its the best in the genre.
18:19 DC-StevenMcGehee Your friendly AI aren't all that inspriing, lets say.. i'll elaborate in the review, but they suffer from a lot of the same disappointments (shooting at the ground, not being very helpful when you really need them ) as lots of other games.
18:20 Diddydan what about enemy ai?
18:20 DC-StevenMcGehee Enemy AI isnt' bad, they use cover quite a bit, with blind fire and grenades. I never had one 'cook' a grendae on me though, they always gave me time to get away if I could.
18:20 Diddydan cool
18:21 algorithman thats not bad they dotn cook in COD either
18:21 Diddydan i was wondering the same thing as neo taswell
18:21 Nicktheman Can YOU cook a grenade?
18:21 NeoFatality Do sentry bot kills count towards your own score?
18:21 algorithman yes you can cook grenade
18:21 Nicktheman Sick. Heard you coudln't
18:21 algorithman plus it look cool when you do with the lights and the beep sound :)
18:21 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, yes you can. You just hold down the throw button (R2 by default) and a little beeper sound is heard and lights on the grenade start lighting up in sequence. Yellow/Yellow/Red/Boom :)
18:21 DC-StevenMcGehee hehe yep.
18:21 Diddydan when you cook a nade it has a timer on the nade too
18:22 Diddydan yer
18:22 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah you get an audible and visual cue.
18:22 Diddydan lol
18:22 algorithman also when you kill
18:22 Diddydan steven i was watching a gameplay vid of online
18:22 Diddydan and i sore that the player when much faster for a certain amount of time
18:23 Diddydan could you tell me about that?
18:23 Nicktheman So is KZ2 the AAA PS3 game it is said to be?
18:23 algorithman with the steady hands niping think....do the expect us to be doing JUMPING JACKS while playing i think it wont make difference i dont move anywayse unless im angry
18:23 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh yeah you guys were just talking about that. Um, to that effect, I can say that I never encountered any kind of power up or anything in the story that made you stronger, etc. You can however sprint with L3 for a while. That may be what you saw.
18:24 Diddydan i dont think it was sprint
18:24 algorithman *sniping
18:24 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, of course I'm kind of restricted from saying a whole heck of a lot about the overall thoughts on the game until Feb 2nd -- but it's not the complete package I was hoping for.
18:24 NeoFatality probably the secondary assault bonus
18:24 Diddydan because the screen went all blue and the sprint meter wasnt going down
18:25 Diddydan steven what was your thoughts on the clan support?
18:25 NeoFatality yup most likely the assaults secondary power
18:25 Nicktheman Diddy, maybe the player on the screen was just LIGHTLY pressing on the analog stick
18:25 Diddydan ?
18:25 algorithman can you be differen looking helghasts in mulitplayer, depending on your class, like the ones i saw on killzone.com?
18:25 Diddydan yes
18:25 NeoFatality lol too many questions now
18:25 MrE lol i'm just reading
18:26 MrE this is awesme
18:26 Diddydan i know
18:26 algorithman .......
18:26 DC-StevenMcGehee haha :)
18:26 Diddydan steven?
18:26 NeoFatality i think im too excited for this game
18:26 OtherSteve Give him time to type guys, he's only human :D
18:26 algorithman no hes not
18:27 DC-StevenMcGehee No, it's cool.
18:27 OtherSteve Well maybe he's a cyborg, but still
18:27 Diddydan steven what was your thoughts on the clan support?
18:27 Nicktheman I must say i'm somewhat worried. Steven, you do sound a little unsure about the greatness of the game that it was hyped up to be. But I guess that would be my bad for giving into the hype.
18:27 algorithman he thought it was cut..llllthere
18:27 Diddydan best you've seen?
18:27 DC-StevenMcGehee Algo, I'm not sure about the different costumes. I would assume so, never saw anyone thus far with a different look in the games i've played online.
18:27 algorithman can you solve a rubix cube?
18:28 Diddydan how do add an image in the bottum
18:28 MrE dc-stevenm, any gripes about the controls or general gameplay?
18:28 OtherSteve Diddy, you simply paste a link into the chat.
18:28 DC-StevenMcGehee Algo, no, but OtherSteve totally can.
18:29 OtherSteve The chat system scrubs it for links. And yes, I can solve a Rubik's Cube, far too quickly I might add due to the fact that I am indeed a nerd (in addition to a Digital Chump)
18:29 DC-StevenMcGehee MrE, more in the review of course, but in brief, the gameplay isn't much more than just pure action and nothing really new, that's my biggest complaint. Controls are just fine though.
18:29 algorithman hey PEOPLE they HAVe custom soundtrack i see :)
18:30 MrE cool, I can't wait for the review, you sound like you know more about the game than just about any reviewer i've read stuff from
18:30 algorithman "big girls dont cry"
18:30 OtherSteve Haha algorithman
18:30 DC-StevenMcGehee Single player perhaps, but MP is what I'll spend the rest of my time with until the review :)
18:30 Nicktheman have you experimented with offline MP with bots yet?
18:30 algorithman gd song
18:30 Nicktheman How does it compare?
18:30 Diddydan algo
18:30 Diddydan to answer your questions about the classes looking different
18:30 Diddydan http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=killzone2&thread.id=107850&page=1
18:31 Diddydan there are pics of all the classes ingame
18:31 OtherSteve algo, the next video of Killzone we post on the site I will be sure to make the intro/outro Big Girls Don't Cry, just for you
18:31 Diddydan lol
18:31 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, just briefly; I can PM you more details if you'd like after I do more testing.
18:31 Nicktheman Ok
18:31 OtherSteve Because here at DigitalChumps, we care ;)
18:32 Nicktheman Was just wondering how the AI was in there, how it compares to online, etc XD
18:32 DC-StevenMcGehee Btw, all... my email address, and I'd post this outright if Meebo would let me :) is
18:32 DC-StevenMcGehee steven AT digitalchumps DOT com
18:32 OtherSteve So spam him!
18:32 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah Nick, defintiely good question and I do want to give you more details. I just haven't spent enough time with them to feel comfortable giving you a good answer right now.
18:32 algorithman YEEESSS!! thx i bookmarked that page i love he sabatuer
18:33 Nicktheman I just wi***** had offline splitscreen for MP >< love showing off the power of the cell to my friends lol
18:33 algorithman So there ARE multiple weapons per class. and do you have to be assault to have rockets
18:33 Diddydan steven have oyou looked at the clan support at all?
18:33 OtherSteve lol Nick, you forgot to hit the space bar and our chat client thought you cursed :P
18:34 Nicktheman lol yeah. it cut off the 2nd half of my sentence.
18:34 algorithman everybody...i have a short story to tell
18:34 algorithman i have a 360
18:34 Diddydan booo
18:34 algorithman 'twas good but no more
18:34 DC-StevenMcGehee No offline splitscreen unfortunately.
18:34 DC-StevenMcGehee haha, RROD?
18:34 Diddydan steven are u ignoring me?
18:34 DC-StevenMcGehee Diddy, no have not done anything with Clans :)
18:34 DC-StevenMcGehee haha, no sorry.
18:34 Diddydan ive asked u like 10 times now....
18:35 algorithman no my first controller RB button died due to guitar hero :(
18:35 Diddydan ok
18:35 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, hrm.
18:35 DC-StevenMcGehee Sorry about that man.
18:35 algorithman then my charger stopped working
18:35 DC-StevenMcGehee If I miss anything do feel free to email or PM, seriously.
18:35 Diddydan np
18:35 algorithman then i said F that, im getting ps3 :)
18:35 Diddydan cool
18:35 Nicktheman great story. 10/10
18:35 DC-StevenMcGehee lol
18:35 algorithman AND the usb port isnt working
18:35 algorithman hey im not done
18:36 algorithman so i cant BUY A WIRED CONTROLLER It STILL WOULDNT WORK
18:36 DC-StevenMcGehee <shakes head> .. my first 360 RROD'd. Don't even like to talk about it, might curse my current one.
18:36 Nicktheman will your review be counted in the metacritic score?
18:36 algorithman i play on batteries
18:36 algorithman THE END. (by algorithman)
18:36 DC-StevenMcGehee I don't think so Nick, we're not Bolded on Gamerankings.com yet either, you have to have like 300 reviews I think, we're close but not there yet.
18:36 OtherSteve Nick, actually, our site is so new we aren't yet indexed in Metacritic.
18:36 OtherSteve That will change soon enough however.
18:36 Nicktheman I see.
18:37 Diddydan was ur company at e3?
18:37 algorithman lol i heard 360 fans messed up the rating for the game
18:37 OtherSteve Yes, and TGS and CEs.
18:37 OtherSteve We will be at all major conferences.
18:37 Diddydan was u there?
18:37 Nicktheman If KZ2's graphics were just good. not amazing like they are currently, would it be as good(or as bad) of a game?
18:37 OtherSteve We used to be Gamerz-Edge, but we broke away from our parent company and are now running a site independently by hardcore gamers, for hardcore gamers :)
18:37 algorithman were you ther?
18:37 OtherSteve Diddy, yes :)
18:37 Diddydan cool
18:38 MrE this site is pretty good for being new
18:38 kobefancam how is the story in the single player, good or sub par?
18:38 OtherSteve Thanks MrE, we're trying :)
18:38 algorithman i heard that the HELGHAST were actually not BAD but the ISA
18:38 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, the gfx are definitely very good/great -- and you'll see that right off the bat on the first mission, but it alone isn't of course enough to carry the game. I don't give the visuals/audio more weight than gameplay, though.
18:38 algorithman comparable to america going for oil
18:39 DC-StevenMcGehee so ultimately if the presentation quailty weren't as high as it is, it'd still score rather similarly.
18:39 DC-StevenMcGehee haha, well algo in this one ISA is coming to Helghan to takeover :)
18:39 DC-StevenMcGehee the story, it's pretty generic.
18:39 algorithman yea you make us play the bad guys :(
18:39 DC-StevenMcGehee You get most of your info through your comm system as you're playing, or through short cutscenes.
18:40 DC-StevenMcGehee And, it's probably no surprise, it's left wide open for yet another sequel :)
18:40 d-ray i have a question for MP...can u pick different primary wepons for each class or do they have to stick to that classes main weapon?
18:40 DC-StevenMcGehee but I can't say a lot about that as we're asked to only talk about the first 6 missions and MP.
18:40 Nicktheman Anyway you could specify what exactly the game would need for you to be better?
18:40 DC-StevenMcGehee d-ray, you can't be very choosy. I know from the get go you can be a general ISA or Helghast grunt and you can only choose between the two standard assault rifles.
18:41 d-ray okay thanks that would be cool to cloak an engenier with a shotty lol
18:41 algorithman NO steven do you have more than one exclusive class weapon....as you would have more thatn one weapon for a weapon type in COD (SMG sniper etc)
18:41 DC-StevenMcGehee Well, that the game doesn't totally turn the genre upside down is completely fine, there is still plenty of room for another straight-forward, fairly standard shooter, but I was just eager for more.
18:42 DC-StevenMcGehee Ok, cool algo, thanks.
18:42 d-ray oh reall?
18:42 d-ray really*
18:42 algorithman no, that was a question!!!
18:42 d-ray so its like call of duty then?
18:42 DC-StevenMcGehee Right, sorry just re-read that. I don't know.
18:43 Nicktheman Any major problems within the game that bother you that much?
18:43 algorithman if i choose sabatuer, will i have more thatn one weapon to choose from as starting weapon?
18:43 Diddydan yes
18:43 Diddydan nvm
18:43 Diddydan my fault
18:43 Diddydan steven wwill prob know
18:44 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, yeah there are a few. This is review code, so some things will be ironed out, like the crashes, those were listed as known issues, didn't have but probably 8 throughout the whoel thing anyway.
18:44 DC-StevenMcGehee But uh, the friendly AI makes you shake your head sometime in what they do, like shooting at the ground when an enemy is below them, yelling "reloading!!" when they haven't even been firing, lol...
18:44 DC-StevenMcGehee and i wish they could revive you, too. You can revive them, at least the major friendly AI players like Garza, Natko, and Rico -- but they can't revive you, which is a shame.
18:45 Diddydan steven u only have the review build
18:45 Diddydan ?
18:45 Nicktheman I see. Is there anything you would call game-breaking?
18:45 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, it's a Test Sample / Review Code we got in the last week of Dec.
18:45 algorithman what about the radar system. Do you show up when you shoot, or what?
18:45 OtherSteve Generally review builds are very similar to retail.
18:46 DC-StevenMcGehee No, nothing game breaking. The final sequence makes you slap your forehead in how kind of generic it is, but overall nothing breaking. It was fun.
18:46 Diddydan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G516I4EmTX4IGN Killzone 2: Review Build vs. Preview Build
18:46 Diddydan that is a comparison of review build and final
18:46 Nicktheman lol im ridiculously excited to read your review now
18:46 algorithman what how do you do that
18:47 Diddydan linked it
18:47 DC-StevenMcGehee Hm, on the radar, I believe so, I do know that you can see others when they fire, so, I would definitely assume so.
18:47 algorithman i know but u hck my computer
18:47 Diddydan no
18:47 algorithman yes
18:47 Diddydan jucst watch
18:47 algorithman k
18:48 OtherSteve I believe this video is discussing the differences between the *preview* build and review build
18:48 DC-StevenMcGehee Thanks Nick.
18:48 OtherSteve StevenM currently has the *review* build.
18:48 Diddydan no
18:48 Diddydan this is the final build
18:48 Diddydan and review
18:48 Diddydan nvm
18:48 Diddydan my fault
18:48 OtherSteve Yes, I see what you mean. They are comparing the final to the preview build.
18:49 Diddydan preview and review yer
18:49 OtherSteve StevenM has the final build :)
18:49 algorithman chunky gun :)
18:49 Diddydan no this is the review
18:49 Diddydan my fault steven
18:49 DC-StevenMcGehee Well, it's not the retail build, but it's pretty close :)
18:49 DC-StevenMcGehee They didn't provide a version number or anything like that, disc just says "Test Sample".
18:49 algorithman like the color when you throw grenade
18:50 DC-StevenMcGehee And the PDF I got with it is named "KZ2 Review Code Information"
18:50 OtherSteve You can stop the video from looping by pausing it by the way :)
18:50 Diddydan yer
18:50 Nicktheman Do you prefer aiming with R3 over L1?
18:50 algorithman i heard knifing was monotonous :( sad cuz i luv stealth
18:50 DC-StevenMcGehee I do, yeah.
18:51 Diddydan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSW0kEInJxECES 2009: Killzone 2 interview
18:51 DC-StevenMcGehee Knifing does work pretty darn well depending on how far spread out they are.
18:51 Diddydan new vid up there
18:51 DC-StevenMcGehee That room in the vid right now is from I believe the third checkpoint of mission 1
18:51 Nicktheman Hmm. I hope they give the option. And I hope you'll have to hold it. IMO I dont like the way you just press it once to go into aim and once more to get out.
18:52 algorithman i mean, they dont give you the 'stab in gut feelin' you know how the BF Moderno combat knife was?
18:52 DC-StevenMcGehee Can't relate Algo, sorry, haven't played BFMC.
18:53 Nicktheman algo, from was ive seen, your just slashing your knife around mindlessly. Not really stabbing.
18:53 DC-StevenMcGehee Knifing here felt more like Solider of Fortune, if you've played that from several years ago. Pretty bloody, more about slicing.
18:53 Nicktheman I could be wrong though
18:53 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, when you press right on d-pad (again, default), he brings out the knife and does a slice to the left and right. Then you just press attack to slice back and forth, no stabbing motion.
18:53 DC-StevenMcGehee It's more effective then close combat/melee with your gun.
18:54 d-ray did anything get repetitive while playing this game at all
18:54 algorithman yeah SLICING. thats the word, i like how cod let CONNECT, sometimes rather than SLICE or SWIPE the knife.....oh well im a nit picker :)
18:54 Diddydan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYEZOklMq4M&feature=related
18:54 DC-StevenMcGehee Hm, d-ray, nnooot really. I mean it's basically the same formula with little change throghout.
18:54 Diddydan theres a vid that shows the weapons
18:55 Diddydan pick it at the bottum if u want to watch
18:55 DC-StevenMcGehee There are a few mounted gun sequences, lots of firefighting.. how much cover the Helghast would take would really slow down the firefights some though, and that got a bit annoying.
18:55 DC-StevenMcGehee I'd have to say some of the sounds got really annoying, however, and very repetitous.
18:55 DC-StevenMcGehee Especially what your friendly AI would say.
18:55 DC-StevenMcGehee They curse a lot too, kinda too much really.. it gets very repetitive.
18:56 MrE yeah sometimes that bothers me in games today
18:56 d-ray like the first one haha
18:56 DC-StevenMcGehee And they'll also constantly say stuff like "Sev, get in cover!" and "nice shot, you're cleaning that one up!" and "reloading!" or "under heavy fire!"
18:56 Nicktheman Lol, I actually turn 17 about 2 weeks before this game is released. Can finally buy a game alone legally :D
18:57 DC-StevenMcGehee Heh, yeah, but even more so. I was playing on Hard, but I don't think that's what made them take more cover. But they really dig in :)
18:57 DC-StevenMcGehee haha
18:57 Nicktheman whoa spoilers steven spoilers
18:57 Nicktheman jk XD
18:57 DC-StevenMcGehee :P
18:57 Diddydan lol
18:57 algorithman no more fake beard nick?
18:57 DC-StevenMcGehee This is my first chat about a game, watch out :P
18:57 Nicktheman lmao
18:58 DC-StevenMcGehee Just watching that vid some more, flamethrower is pretty darn sweet.
18:58 Nicktheman Ill be getting IDd til im 30 the way i look lol.
18:58 Diddydan what vid?
18:58 OtherSteve Nick, I have that problem
18:58 DC-StevenMcGehee You can really get some arc on it if you aim high and that works alright for getting Helghast behind cover.
18:58 OtherSteve I am 26 and people still think I'm under 21
18:58 algorithman hey how much u think ill get for my 360 gTa3 halo 3 gears 1 and 2 cuz im selling to add and buy ps3
18:58 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, one of the vids someone posted to the chatroom a while ago, lots of slo-motion, a youtube vid.
18:58 Nicktheman How are the fire effects? In many games they suck.
18:58 algorithman steve you have no BEARD haha
18:58 Diddydan oh the first one i posted
18:58 OtherSteve lol
18:59 OtherSteve True algorithman
18:59 DC-StevenMcGehee Hm, you may do better selling those things individually Algo, btw, but I'd say about $30 per game.
18:59 algorithman me either im 18 and my 16 year old friend has he laughs at me
18:59 Nicktheman Haha OtherSteve that sucks >< luckily legal drinking age here isnt 21,its 18, so one more year and im good XD
18:59 DC-StevenMcGehee Just stay away from Gamestop :)
18:59 OtherSteve Well you start to enjoy being ID'd after you get past, say, 25. Because then you feel old, believe me.
18:59 Nicktheman it cut me off again >.>
18:59 Nicktheman haha
19:00 algorithman wat cut u off?
19:00 Nicktheman legal drinking age here is 18 so i'll be getting ID constantly for many years ><
19:00 OtherSteve nice :)
19:00 DC-StevenMcGehee Would you guys be interested in the mission names, checkpoint names, and objectives? or is that too specific? I took some notes :)
19:00 Nicktheman the chat system cut me off
19:00 d-ray thanks for the conversation about teh game guys u really cleared up alotta info...i gotta go hope to see u online PSN newman_haha take care night =]

19:02 Diddydan lol
19:02 Nicktheman What was the last good game you played on the PS3 b4 this Steven?
19:02 OtherSteve We're planning all HD coverage of E3 this year guys... free. So even though you have no idea who we are now, you should recognize us soon hopefully :D
19:02 DC-StevenMcGehee So, first mission, Corinith River (7 Parts)
19:02 Diddydan cool
19:02 DC-StevenMcGehee Nick, hrm. I hate drawing blanks :)
19:02 algorithman let me gues its by a river?
19:03 Diddydan lol
19:03 Nicktheman lol alright well. did you enjoy mgs4?
19:03 MrE littlebigplanet?
19:03 Diddydan guys let steven type his notes
19:03 DC-StevenMcGehee Havne't completed MGS4, and not all that into LBP actually
19:03 DC-StevenMcGehee Corinith River (7 Parts) .. parts being Checkpoints.
19:03 Nicktheman well than let me ask u this, did you prefer it over R2?
19:03 kobefancam I'm on mgs4 last level
19:03 Nicktheman ok go ahead sorry.
19:03 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, np at all.
19:04 algorithman i heard r1 was better
19:04 DC-StevenMcGehee -The New Sun - Drop onto Helghan (Meet Garza/Rico/Evelyn, hear about being assigned to Narville...see Templar, too), StA52 and RPG avail
19:04 DC-StevenMcGehee -Name of checkpoint- objective- possibly a note of interest
19:04 DC-StevenMcGehee -Corinith Sands - Resistance makes team and convoy halt short of LZ (Beach landing and clear)
19:04 DC-StevenMcGehee -Stahl Arms Warehouse - Sev and Garza have to battle through alone to open Floodgates to get convoy moving again (hardest part, nice explosions)
19:04 DC-StevenMcGehee -Verdran Overlook East - Convoy rolling, Sev hurries to keep up.
19:04 DC-StevenMcGehee -Convoy safe, Sev/Garza have to get to other side of canal or get left behind.
19:05 DC-StevenMcGehee -Verdran Overlook West - Convoy bogged down, Sev/Garza have to neutralize an ambush and strongholds
19:05 DC-StevenMcGehee -Korovis Dam - Alpha Team reunited, but under fire from barracks and tanks.
19:05 DC-StevenMcGehee That's mission 1 :)
19:05 MrE woah
19:05 algorithman u type fast
19:05 Diddydan pretty cool
19:05 DC-StevenMcGehee Took 1h6m on Veteran.
19:05 DC-StevenMcGehee ;) magic of pasting.
19:05 Diddydan wow 1 mission
19:05 DC-StevenMcGehee Any questions or anything, or just post mission 2 stuff?
19:05 MrE man, you really are hardcore, with these notes, lol
19:05 algorithman oh lol
19:06 algorithman i know i know some people who could tpye crazy fast so it thout u one too
19:06 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, well thanks, the game actually is nice about providing summaries of mission and checkpoints when you go to mission select. I didn't make these notes while playing.
19:06 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, I'm not bad if I know what I want to say, but not that fast hehe.
19:06 MrE oh lol, well still
19:07 Diddydan wait who are u again garza?
19:07 algorithman what should i eat while i play, pizza nuggets or what
19:07 Nicktheman wow. I heard the demo is the 1st level. You think its the entire thing? Thats a long demo :S
19:07 Diddydan no one knows what the demo is officaly yet
19:07 MrE lol
19:07 DC-StevenMcGehee You're Sev. His name is longer than that, but you're basically a grunt. Garza is a sergeant I believe, he may be in a vid out there, but he has a goatee and carries an M82. He runs around with you for a good part of the first half of the game.
19:07 Nicktheman Guerilla has stated its the 1st level. Not sure if its the entire thing though,
19:07 DC-StevenMcGehee Don't know Nick, haven't heard anything on it :-\
19:08 DC-StevenMcGehee Cool, well that'd be fairly generous of them, so good deal.
19:08 algorithman will killzone 3 come out for this generatin console?
19:08 DC-StevenMcGehee I bet it will.
19:09 Diddydan nick thats incorrect
19:09 nssdigitalchumps In Sony's world, the PS3 is very young.
19:09 algorithman what wat is you job really
19:09 Diddydan guerilla hasnt stated anything on what the demo will have yet
19:09 algorithman do you help with the game or just play / test it
19:09 OtherSteve We haven't seen anything officially on demo plans for what it's worth
19:09 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, primarily just a reviewer. I have a day job :)
19:09 Diddydan unless you can prove me wrong i stand by that
19:09 OtherSteve all we know is that US gamers who preorder get it on the 2nd of Feb
19:10 Diddydan 5th
19:10 Nicktheman I have a gfaqs account and there have been numerous topics providing links to guerrillas statement
19:10 OtherSteve Yes, we all have day jobs at the moment--but we hope to do this full time in the future, as it's our dream. :)
19:10 OtherSteve Nick, awesome, I missed that then!
19:10 Diddydan the demo codes go out on 2nd if you preordered on internet
19:10 algorithman why cant the us get the cool lookin cover with the big helgan face
19:10 algorithman they gave it to the EU
19:10 algorithman to EU
19:10 Nicktheman ill try to find a link
19:10 Nicktheman but it was a long time ago
19:10 algorithman *US
19:11 MrE stevenm do you have more notes still?
19:11 Diddydan nick there hasnt been any confirmation
19:11 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah quite a few about the other five missions; I can throw them out if you guys want.
19:11 algorithman kkk
19:11 DC-StevenMcGehee -Blood Meridian (7 Parts) (Mission 2)
19:11 Diddydan some guerilla people have said that there may be multiplayer but they cant say
19:12 DC-StevenMcGehee -Landing Zone 33 - Alpha Team lands near Visari Square and need to get to Narville to report for orders (D-Charges introduced)
19:12 kobefancam I thought that was the us cover, what does the us one look like
19:12 DC-StevenMcGehee -Dakurol Alley - Alpha Team splits up with Sev/Garza taking detour through main alleys (Knifing Helghan with Sta11 SMG introduced)
19:12 Diddydan but no one has said that it is 100% only singleplayer
19:12 DC-StevenMcGehee -Heavy Canal - Sev/Garza fight past heavy weapons troopers (first Heavy fight is here)
19:12 Nicktheman guess we'll know on feb 5th.
19:12 OtherSteve
http://videogame2play.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/…killzone2
19:12 DC-StevenMcGehee -Wollan's View - The ISA and Helghast forces come face to face in this area, CQB style).
19:12 DC-StevenMcGehee -Verudan Alley - Helghast fiercely defend approach on Arc Tower
19:12 Diddydan yer
19:13 DC-StevenMcGehee -Cableway Heights - Arc Tower close, ISA needs to secure and destroy them
19:13 DC-StevenMcGehee -Cableway Rooftops - Sev/Garza must destroy Arc Towers under heavy fire. (ATAC gets them running).
19:13 DC-StevenMcGehee And that's mission 2.
19:13 algorithman steve that cover doesnt look familiar
19:13 Diddydan yer i know
19:13 algorithman and ive been on killzone.com
19:13 Diddydan never seen that one before
19:13 OtherSteve It may be an old one then, let me look and see if I can find it in the press site.
19:13 OtherSteve Or even fake? :p
19:13 OtherSteve One sec, I'll check.
19:13 algorithman yes that
19:14 DC-StevenMcGehee I thought Sony Blog posted that Helghan boxart a couple of days ago when they announced KZ2 went gold?
19:14 kobefancam it doesn't look bad, but I prefer the eu one.
19:14 MrE thanks stevenm awesome notes
19:14 Diddydan i thought it was the one with the helghan face and the people infront for the us
19:14 DC-StevenMcGehee And it ws us.playstation.com so I thought we were getting the Helghan boxart? hm
19:14 Diddydan and a huge helghan face for EU
19:14 Nicktheman alright well cya guys later. thanks for answering questions
19:14 algorithman how comes only 8 people knw about this 'chat'
19:14 Nicktheman cya guys
19:14 Diddydan cya
19:14 algorithman later
19:14 Diddydan steven have u got a PSN?
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee thanks guys
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee np Nick
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/01/21/killzone-2-has-gone-gold/
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee There's the box art.
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee I do, but KoKimura
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee er, it's not 'but'
19:15 DC-StevenMcGehee lol
19:16 DC-StevenMcGehee Being our first chat, for as small as we are, on a Friday night.. we're pretty happy with 8 :)
19:16 DC-StevenMcGehee or 6
19:16 DC-StevenMcGehee :)
19:16 algorithman thats for US?
19:16 OtherSteve Thanks Steven, yes, that is the official pack shot
19:16 OtherSteve I just confirmed it myself as well.
19:16 DC-StevenMcGehee yeah I'm confident it is, it's on the US PS Blog
19:16 DC-StevenMcGehee Also has the ESRB rating, not the EU rating system
19:16 DC-StevenMcGehee Which would say like 18+
19:17 DC-StevenMcGehee Instead of M
19:17 OtherSteve Yeah, that's another giveaway. Not sure what that earlier one I posted was, though it could have been a mockup for retail possibly.
19:17 nssdigitalchumps They drop the F-bomb in there a few times.
19:17 Diddydan so wait staven can u say ur PSN?
19:17 DC-StevenMcGehee Say it?
19:17 Diddydan tell us?
19:17 OtherSteve he means can you provide yours ;)
19:17 DC-StevenMcGehee Hah, yeah they curse quite a bit in the game. It's pretty embarassing really because it's over-used.
19:18 DC-StevenMcGehee Oh, sure. It's Kokimura
19:18 Diddydan mind if i add u?
19:18 algorithman embarrasing....steriootypical Cole train in gears is embarrasing
19:18 DC-StevenMcGehee That's cool, sure.
19:18 algorithman u have gamertag?
19:18 Diddydan maybe we can play K2 together some time
19:18 DC-StevenMcGehee Heh, yeah I was thinking Cole Train was probably partially inspired from Rico from KZ 1.
19:19 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, maybe so :) .. I need to play MP quite a bit this week and next for the review, but I have to tell you, I'm more of a campaign guy or local co-op person :)
19:19 algorithman do the game have puppys?
19:19 DC-StevenMcGehee I also play quite a few consoles, especially retro ones, which is why I struggled to think of the last PS3 game I sat down and played through.
19:19 DC-StevenMcGehee No puppies, I assume you mean like the Helghan attack dogs in KZ: Liberation
19:20 DC-StevenMcGehee None of those, which is kind of a shame :)
19:20 algorithman i wann kill them :(
19:20 DC-StevenMcGehee Mission 3 notes anyone? :P
19:20 nssdigitalchumps I'll take them
19:20 nssdigitalchumps oh snap.
19:20 algorithman spoiler please
19:20 Diddydan there are spiders and other animals tho
19:20 DC-StevenMcGehee lol
19:20 algorithman ur lying
19:21 Diddydan no
19:21 DC-StevenMcGehee True -- there is a spider and some big bugs.
19:21 algorithman what giraffes?
19:21 Diddydan id give u a link but i forgot where it was
19:21 DC-StevenMcGehee The bugs dont' do anything, they look like basic roaches.
19:21 Diddydan guerilla confirmed it aswell
19:21 algorithman helghan roaches?
19:21 DC-StevenMcGehee The spiders to attack. You'll first run into those in mission 6.
19:21 nssdigitalchumps stupid monkies
19:21 Diddydan no they said there was like spiders that attack and stuff
19:21 DC-StevenMcGehee Well, they're not like recruited or trained by the Helghast :)
19:21 OtherSteve The Monkies are a band
19:21 Diddydan yer
19:21 DC-StevenMcGehee They just happen to be around :)
19:21 OtherSteve I believe you mean monkeys :p
19:21 OtherSteve hehe
19:21 DC-StevenMcGehee You don't see many of these bugs at all though
19:21 algorithman i thought i saw a helghan with jet pack...they have flying helghans?
19:22 nssdigitalchumps this is why I don't write about monkeys
19:22 algorithman lol
19:22 nssdigitalchumps I cannot properly give anyone more than one.
19:22 DC-StevenMcGehee In KZ: Liberation yes, but no I don't recall any in the campaign. No there are ATACs, these badass flying robots with chain guns.
19:22 DC-StevenMcGehee No = Now
19:22 algorithman but i saw them on killzone.com
19:22 algorithman ohh
19:22 DC-StevenMcGehee You'll go face to face with an ATAC at the end of mission 5
19:23 Diddydan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZsoxoAA-U8&feature=related
19:23 MrE awesome, was it tough
19:23 Diddydan new vid up in bottum
19:23 DC-StevenMcGehee It's kind of a boss moment, your team (conveniently ) gets cut off from you, hehe
19:23 MrE nice
19:23 DC-StevenMcGehee And you'll fight more ATACs later, probably about a dozen more total. With the electric gun, they're a snap. Otherwise, ouch.
19:23 DC-StevenMcGehee And you do not have the electric gun in mission 5 :)
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee So yeah mission 3, real quick :) ... feel free to ask about anything of course..
19:24 MrE cool
19:24 algorithman y smle?
19:24 algorithman dats bad
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee -Visari Square (5 Parts)
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee -Prefect's Office - Garza goes to meet with Narville, Sev aids ISA on way to finding Rico and Natko.
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee -Malik Back Alleys - Behind Prefect's office is a back alley that leads to the downed Intruder site.
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee -Ostoja End - Rico/Natko are under attack by downed Intruder, Sev needs to get there and help.
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee -Union Storage Yard - Sev reaches them, heavy attack. (LMG here) (heavy battle)
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee -The Square - Alpha Team manages to reach Visari Square just in time ISA's assault on the Square. (Defend square).
19:24 DC-StevenMcGehee And that's it.
19:24 algorithman :)
19:25 algorithman do you watch G4TV?
19:25 OtherSteve I did when it was about videogames :D
19:25 DC-StevenMcGehee I don't actually. Feels too forced/corporate.
19:25 DC-StevenMcGehee haha
19:25 algorithman It still is ....sometimes
19:25 algorithman damn i hate cops marathon :(
19:25 OtherSteve lol
19:25 OtherSteve Yeah, they've got a lot of cops on these days
19:25 DC-StevenMcGehee I get enough RSS feeds and frankly a lot of times I'm playing much older games than what they talk about :)
19:26 Diddydan g4tv reviews suck
19:26 algorithman i hate adam sessle
19:26 algorithman me thinks he gay
19:26 Diddydan lol
19:26 OtherSteve I think we have some fantastic reviewers here on our site if I do say so myself.
19:26 DC-StevenMcGehee Ha, he's kind of annoying. I saw him in person when he and Morgan were filming at E3 07 (I didn't go to 08 like OS here... :P )
19:26 algorithman donyou?
19:26 algorithman Kristen holt YAY
19:27 Diddydan did u say hi?
19:27 OtherSteve E3 08 was small, kind of sad.
19:27 OtherSteve But this year should be awesome.
19:27 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah I remember you guys talking about that when you got back. Can't wait for this year though.
19:27 OtherSteve McGehee still recalls 2006 and before when we all went together
19:27 OtherSteve we've been doing this for a while under other sites :)
19:27 Diddydan cool
19:27 DC-StevenMcGehee Most def; 06 was nice, but man I honestly liked that 07 format, those shuttles were really efficient and the reduced crowd was helpful.
19:27 algorithman im hydralicious
19:27 Diddydan u guys go get drunk together
19:28 Diddydan lol
19:28 OtherSteve You should have seen our hotel in 2006, lol, it was scary small
19:28 DC-StevenMcGehee Diddy, hah no :)
19:28 Diddydan ahh
19:28 OtherSteve algorithman, be proud of your shampoo :D
19:28 DC-StevenMcGehee Yeah, Ritz Milner, lol.
19:28 OtherSteve hehe
19:28 OtherSteve This year we're in the Holiday Inn, so that's good

19:29 OtherSteve but apparently it wasn't in the cards.
19:29 nssdigitalchumps They'll never do public
19:29 nssdigitalchumps too big already
19:29 Diddydan ahh cause i always wanted to go to E3
19:30 OtherSteve Diddy, in the future our site will be holding contests to take a reader
19:30 OtherSteve at least, we plan to
19:30 algorithman why cant i copy/past a link to this chat bar
19:30 OtherSteve Stick around, you might travel with us some time :)
19:30 Diddydan cool
19:30 algorithman help
19:30 OtherSteve algorithman, you should be able to

19:30 OtherSteve Try right-clicking in the box and choose "Paste"
19:30 OtherSteve " Paste"
19:30 OtherSteve if it doesn't work try copying again
19:31 algorithman cant right click i have MAC i hate it
19:31 DC-StevenMcGehee Hm, yeah it's worked earlier in this chat, should take it. Maybe the link is too long, but it should tell you that.
19:31 OtherSteve hehe
19:31 DC-StevenMcGehee haha
19:31 algorithman it has a glass lookin mouse with one click button ALL OVER THE MOUSE
19:31 OtherSteve Well there's your problem :D
19:31 OtherSteve Just ask NSS here.
19:31 DC-StevenMcGehee nss is a Mac guy too. He may know something helpful :)
19:31 algorithman yeah but i usually use edit at the top then paste
19:31 DC-StevenMcGehee He had a lot more hair before getting that first Mac.
19:31 OtherSteve lmao
19:31 DC-StevenMcGehee Apple Key+V ?
19:31 algorithman lol it IS stressful
19:31 DC-StevenMcGehee That may do it.
19:32 DC-StevenMcGehee haha
19:32 nssdigitalchumps what?
19:32 nssdigitalchumps What's the problem?

19:32 DC-StevenMcGehee How the F do you paste with a one button mouse?
19:32 DC-StevenMcGehee :)
19:32 nssdigitalchumps I'm a Final Cut Pro Trainer
19:32 nssdigitalchumps lol
19:32 algorithman EDIT u clik it
19:32 nssdigitalchumps Control-Click is the right click
19:32 algorithman i dunno ask the geniuses that produced MAC
19:32 nssdigitalchumps Xerox?
19:32 OtherSteve lol
19:32 OtherSteve here we go
19:33 nssdigitalchumps what?>
19:33 OtherSteve kidding ;)
19:33 nssdigitalchumps Apple and Microsoft stole Xerox's idea
19:33 nssdigitalchumps lol
19:33 DC-StevenMcGehee The Helghast then stole that and well.. you know where that led.
19:33 DC-StevenMcGehee To three games in 5 years *******!
19:33 nssdigitalchumps Xerox's dumb idea for not patenting Windows.
19:33 DC-StevenMcGehee haha jk
19:33 nssdigitalchumps lol
