I thought KZ2 was pretty overrated in terms of game and visuals. But the multiplayer seemed solid enough. Give us better quality servers and i'll be happy with this.
sexy looking game as you'd expect. just hope you can either choose the old control scheme, or they have at least managed to retain the weightyness. i dont want this to turn into yet another twitch shooter. there are enough of them already.

Some weight is fine. They still need to make it RESPONSIVE, or tune the gameplay to make the weight make a bit more sense. The bigger issue I think was needing your hand to be a damn gymnast just to take cover.

you mean the cover system in the single player? if so i didnt have an issue. but then i didnt use the crappy cod control system. i used R3 to zoom. L2 for cover.

I used default I think. You had to hold like three buttons AND aim and shoot. It was terrible.
Also, is the framerate really that bad or is something up with my/the video?
Last one was ok, but it was missing that it factor imo that kept you coming back for more. Didn't help that the controls were iffy to me either. It was the only PS3 game ive ever returned despite having more replay value(in terms of multiplayer) than some of the games i still have. I'll give this one a try still tho.
I loved KZ2 and the MP except for some minor small issues and one big one.
Small issues like Assault Class, it is a piece of shit class that HAS to go, along with the nonsense Saboteur class. Both of them are crap and ruins the MP IMO.
The big issue was the delay between your character and your button input, it had a delay and it was clunky. Anyone says otherwise is just blinded by the visuals or blinded by the Sony brand, yes I said it.
Even GG said themselves that the control was probably the biggest issue they noticed after shipment for KZ2, and with KZ3 they fixed the controls first and foremost which is great.
If they want it weighty, fine, but make it faster and responsive...Battlefield Bad Company 2!
Anyways Q1 2011 is going to be fantastic for me interms of sci-fi.
Killzone 3, Crysis 2, Mass Effect 2 (PS3 obviously), Deus Ex 3!

Oh and bad news sath... In one of the pics i see an assault class w/ his rocket launcher out. Time to bail?
I read on GAF forum right now of someone analyzing the trailer.
Assault class and Saboteur is still there.
Well fuck em, again! I have to search for rooms that doesnt have Assault Class available, I do that in KZ2 anyways. It would just be great if they removed that class completely.
As long as the maps are balanced unlike some maps in KZ2 as if one team starts to dominate the other team, the losing team is a prisoner in their own respawn point, that is one of the worst things in the MP.
That, and the controls. If the controls and its all good.

lol I can't imagine someone thinking KZ2 was overrated for its VISUALS. Jesus this looks awesome, i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hyped
Thats ME. I personally didnt fall over myself with them. KZ2 to me is a game that looks great from a far but when you actually pay attention to it theres quite a few short comings.
I personally think BBC2's single player is the best looking fps console game.
I'm far more interested not in the visual tweaks they've made to the engine but in performance tweaks. One thing that really started to bug me and distract from the experience were the constant freezes as it would load/save throughout the game. They need to iron that right out.

Well they already said that that is gone. So no worries bout that. KZ2 looks freaking amazing, especially singleplayer.
Might be something they're saving for a little closer to release... still got a good 6 months for the game to come out! I too would enjoy seeing the helghast jungle :)

better quality servers? your having laugh right yeah? oh wait its YOU
Hmmm, not too confident those mechs are going to fit well into the MP with any sense of balance but I'll give GG the benefit of the doubt and hope it's all good. The controls look to be much more smooth and responsive as well, glad to see GG fixed the biggest flaw of Killzone 2. Great news there.
As for Assault class being back, that fucking sucks ass but like Sath said, it'll just be more of the same searching for rooms with that noob shit turned off.
All in all though I expect this to be a really fun game. The fixes to the controls alone has me very excited to see how the game turns out. Also curious to see what new classes and weapons they have for this one.

Indeed.
I just hope people arent stupid enough to make rooms were they removed the assault class but they have only picked one map, it kills me to see "Radec Acedemy" so freaking much in KZ2.
Nontheless, the controls being responsive and fast is great news.
About the mechs, I dont know, I dont like vehicles in MP, but they could be good if its balanced...such as not being overpowered.
Or they could be overpowered as what mechs are like but 2 RPGs or a nice shot to the driverseat to take out the enemy.
Interms of classes, I am keep seeing the same class design from KZ2, probably various design for Helghast but the same as well.
The weapons, I noticed 2 new assault rifles, both of them having scopes.
One of them looked like the default Helghast weapon but had one part with a reflex scope and one without it. The other one was probably a assault rifle or semi-burst shot weapon with a scope, kind of like a M16 of some sort (the gun that showed the player killing the mech driver).
I am thinking of 2 things...customizable weapons or new weapons. I am hoping more variety to the assault rifles.

You know the word "Alien" implies unfamilarity rather than little green men.
You know one day when i stab someone in one of these games its going to leave a actual mark, seriously they pride there selves on all these visuals, but not 1 stab wound or bullett hole..... At least give me something new to look at except diffrent colour pallett.
And when i say bullett hole i mean on the bad guys not the scenery, i dont know about you, but i dont miss that often to see dust flhying of concrete pillars (i have to point this out for those "smart wankers" who will link a screen shot of a bullett hole in a wall)
