KILLZONE 2. Woah, it rocks.

Upping the sensitivity is an absolute must.

Yeah, the game feels squishy on the default settings - response time feels ever so slightly delayed.

Some of it feels like it was deliberate: reloading takes an eternity, movement has noticeable acceleration and deceleration, etc. Some of it is nice and seems like it may slow the pace of progression down - especially combined with the cover mechanic (which I quite like).

The rest of the sponginess feels like it's a necessity, simply because the system is rendering such a complicated frame. (the game renders natively at 720p, which is surprising).

But I think I'd sacrifice all of that for a straight port of Call of Duty controls and "quickness".

It didn't take long in this thread for the Xbox fanboy to attack the PS3 fanboys. And it wasn't even PKerr this time.

Did you guys see Adam Sessler go insane about Killzone 2 comments?

That 9.4/9.5 reminded me of when PKerr used that same line of thinking to proclaim Fallout 3 for the 360 to be superior and the PS3 version to be inferior.

Seriously, I just don't get how this ALWAYS happens!

That's quite true though, if only marginally so right now. Throw in the 360 exclusive DLC (if that's your thing) and it gets better for 360 owners.

Played the KZ2 demo, looks gorgeous, love the slow, heavy controls and wouldn't turn up the sensitivity. It's not Resistance, Halo or even COD4, folks need to stop trying to shoehorn it into those molds.

That said, I do think the demo was ludicrously short (almost as short as the Heavenly Sword demo). I also think it wasn't necessarily the best foot to put forward, it's early in the game and a fairly routine mission at that.

Thanks for that link, I'm rolling on the floor here.

EDIT 2: Lord I wish more journo's would call out the fanboys like this.

^ I own a Wii, 360 and PS3. I play the 360 more than the other consoles, due mainly to Rock Band and playing friends online in Gears of War and Halo. But I just don't understand the unconditional "my console is better than yours, neener neener neener" mentality that you see here or that Adam Sessler responded to.

The exclusive titles on your console are superior, while the competition's exclusives are crap. If the games are multi-platform, then they're superior on your console and garbage on the other. If it's a multi-platform that appears on your console first, then that proves how much better your console is. But if the multi-platform game appears on the other console first, that just means they're taking their time to make it that much better for your console.

I think I saw the Xbox fanboys who act like this called X-bots.
