We win! Killzone 2 demo imminent! - Image 1 The last we heard of a Killzone 2 demo possibly hitting the PlayStation Network was back in February. At that time, it was rumored that a demo would be released before the Halo 3 beta, thereby stealing Bungie's thunder. We hoped... and we waited.

This just in though: in an exclusive GC 2007 dev interview with Gamereactor, the team behind Killzone 2 has hinted somewhat strongly at the possibility of a demo release.

Gamereactor: Do you plan a demo? A demo for the game?
Developer: I think, at this day and age, you have to have a demo.
Gamereactor: Multiplayer? Single player?
Developer: I can't talk about that...


This very quick portion is found towards the end of the video interview (click the Read link below). And though the developer neither confirmed nor denied having a demo., you can't help but think... The simple fact that he was so tight-lipped about it makes some of us assume that there's really something to be tight-lipped about.

Of course, we'll leave it up to you how much what you want to read into the developer's words. But for the most part of the online community, common sentiment holds that, yes, a Killzone 2 demo is imminent. Some folks have even been speculating that it could roll right out prior to the actual retail release of Halo 3 (thereby still stealing some of Bungie's thunder).

We'll be filing this under rumor for now, especially since there's no formal announcement from Guerilla Games. You can bet your bleeding eyesockets that we'll keep you posted with updates.

killzone 2 is the best game coming out next year and i must get a ps3 to play it. i was a blind 360 fan who hated the ps3 until i saw killzone 2. nothing touches killzone 2 graphically and i have to have it. my fav game is gears of war bur killzone 2 pre pre alpha stage destroys everything ive seen on any console. the last games ill prob get for a while for the 360 are halo 3, lost odyssey and prob pgr4. i just remember gt5 prologue coming out and it looks photo realistic. i need a ps3, i loved my ps2 then loved the xbox 360 but im on my 4th one and tired of disc error and being a blind fanboi. im a gamer first, fcvk the bullship, ps3 has a very strong line up of games i cant get anywhere else. killzone 2 is the best fps ive ever seen and has the best animations also.

 » Stop lying please!

No really, who do you think you're kidding. Be excited for Killzone 2 yes, but don't lie and pretend you were once a 360 fanboy who changed his mind after seeing KZ2, because you're lying.

From your writing style, you are obviously the SAME dylantalon who posted in this thread way back in May this year (thanks to Google, and yeah I know it's sad to search ;));

http://ps3.qj.net/Spot-the-difference-GTHD-vs-Real-Life/pg/49/aid/91534

"i see some people saying that these pics are fake and that makes me know they dont have a ps3. all these pics are real and these sick real to life graphics are what ps3 has to offer. PS3 IS THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE IS PS3"

That was TWO MONTHS BEFORE KZ2 was shown running in realtime for the first time at E3 this year.

So you were a PS3 fanboy LONG before you saw KZ2 at E3, and therefore you were probably always a PS3 fanboy and never a 360 fanboy.

 » you are SO right about dylantalon simon

i used google like you said by searching for dylantalon+qj and i found this -

http://xbox360.qj.net/Rumor-Microsoft-s-E3-07-line-up-leaked/pg/49/aid/95255

just look at his post in that thread. he's as hardcore a ps3 fanboy as you can get. and now we can see he's a sad little liar as well. what a loser!

i love my ps3, but dam dylantalon is dumb. lol!

 » hmm

simonsays. u have put WAY to much effort in, just to prove is was a fanboy... im not sure who looks more like a idiot...

its just sad.

   Re: PS34ME (Unregistered) - 2007-09-02
 » Shut up Luke, it's EASY :D

go to google or yahoo or another search engine and look for dylantalo+qj, and you'll have some of his posts up in seconds. how much effort is that? and even simon laughs at himself in his post and says it's a bit sad to search anyway. pick a link at random and youll see dylantalon is nothing but a ps3 fanboy.

so im pleased simonsays exposed this liar. seems to me you're in defence of dylantalon. why is that then?

   Re: n/a (Unregistered) - 2007-09-03
 » who cares?

yeah its bad he lied but isn't just as bad for a 360 fanboy to go through any effort at all to disprove this? Doing so shows that you are an insecure fanboy and thats just as bad. Neither of you are any better than the other. Geez people

   Re: SimonSays (Unregistered) - 2007-09-03
 » ^^^With all due respect, I don't own a 360

So how can I be a 360 fanboy? And where did I behave like a 360 fanboy and attack the PS3 or it's games? That's right, I didn't!

I don't like liars and I can't stand fanboys, of ANY console. So I spotted dylantalon easily because a) I thought I'd seen his name before and was sure he was anti-MS and pro-Sony, and b) his post was so obviously untrue that you'd have to be really naive to believe it. So a quick search on Google proved my point, which took me less than 60 seconds!!!

IMO, the fact that you think what I did was worse than dylantalon actually says a lot about you and your character (and it's not good, sadly).

But thanks PS34ME, roca and Nastradamus for showing that some people here can see the funny side of someone being caught out as a liar. :)

   Re: SimonSays (Unregistered) - 2007-09-03
 » ^^^Ok, you said just as bad...

...not worse, but the same applies, since you think I'm just as bad for calling a liar, a liar. Yeah, how dare me reveal someone for what they are on a forum. What is the world coming to these days *rolleyes*.

Seems to me there are reasons why a) you assumed I'm a 360 fanboy, and b) you attacked me instead of dylantalon.

A little part of you agrees with dylantalon perhaps? Hmmm. ;)

   Re: n/a (Unregistered) - 2007-09-03
 » my mistake

I do apologize for my assuming that you were a 360 fanboy (I didn't mean to insult you.. j/k) BUT, I only assumed that because, most of the time, only a fanboy would call him out. A non-fanboy of any type wouldn't care, most of the time. I'm just tired of seeing people lie and argue on the internet for stupid reasons such as which piece of hardware is better.

   Re: SimonSays (Unregistered) - 2007-09-03
 » ^^^Ok...

...well now that that's all cleared up, let's move on. :)

I'm all for a demo of the game, but the devs have said 1 level is 2 gigs, so how big is the demo going to be? Are we looking at a 2+ gig demo? Whoa, the time it'll take to download...

 » this is NOT a complaint against the PS3 or Killzone

a demo will not steal the "thunder" of a full game especially one as highly anticipated as Halo 3. I liked killzone 1 but it wasn't as good as Halo 1( HALO 2 it came pretty close to) but come on don't be naive and the only reason i posted this was because of the foolish "HA! We Win" title what did you win any way? i appologize to anyone this might offened i thinK the PS3 is a great console and i hope Killzone turns out as great as it looks this is NOT a complaint against the PS3 or Killzone it is a complaint against the article and its title and the fact that it is stupid

you son of a *****, im going to rip your head off and ***** down your neck! i hate you and your xbot ways!!!

just kidding, i totally agree. being a ps3 owner downloading a demo for 5 hours can never compare with master chief.

he got a ps3 about 2 weeks ago he say's that he " accidently " bought it on ebay LOL

it was an accident he says. yeah right. :D

lol accidently? lmfao

   Re: SimonSays (Unregistered) - 2007-09-03
 » Yep, it's true

I also read that, and his feable explaination of what happened on EBay. LOL!

Still, of all the 360 fanboys on this forum, he was one of the most annoying and persistant. Now that he's got a PS3, the old Mister Common Sense died and a new Mister Common Sense was born (still pro-360, but far less anti-Sony). :)

STFU about fanboys already..... no one *****ing cares about people who love their system so much that they tear themselves away from it every single day to go online and bash the other consoles....

Killzone 2 is going to be an awesome game!
