PS3

TTP, our Sony specialist, send us these three videos from the almost final review build of Killzone 2. That's the perfect way for you guys to confirm once and for all that yes the game is amazing visually, but is also quite amazing in terms of audio too.

Here's a small thing I don't get... if these are 'almost final review build' then how the hell has OPM and several other playstaion mags already reviewed the game about a month ago?? What were they playing when they gave the game perfect scores??? Preview builds? Rough Cuts? What???

Some of the effects are really really stunning. When that ships takes off in that 3rd video my jaw just dropped like a bag of stones.

OPM reviewed the review build (shocking i know) but since those reviews have been published, a second, more polished review build was released which fixed small things like stuttering when loading a new area/going through checkpoints.

game looks stunning as always. cant wait.

Game got a 9 on Eurogamer.net which is quite impressive. A ton more reviews should flood in now that the embargo (for European publications) is up.

I would lie if I said its not the best looking console game so far. Basta.

I hope that its the guy who plays and not the controls that make the aiming look like a pain.

Looks like PS3 might have another winner on its hands... LBP and this... make me wish I had a PS3... not enough to shell out the money for one... but still. Congrats. Even if it still is not close to the infamous E3 trailer from years ago... it still looks mighty fine. I'm interested to hear how the cover system finally worked out... it sounded cool.

Looks like COD4 and other FPSs have a challenge to the throne.

The game lives up to its hype regardless of what 360 fanboys may think. Can't wait to get my hands on it! Played the beta online a couple of times and loved it.

They also gave SFIV 10/10 so yeah.

Game looks great, the IGN video review hints at a Starship Troopers vibe too which is awesome. No doubt I'll be picking this one up.

Well, SFIV looks fucking awesome and I pre-ordered that one. Waiting for more reviews of Killzone 2 before I jump on the bandwagon though, but it is really shaping up nicely. Any chance we'll get more vids?
