Warning this article contain what little spoilers there are in the Killzone 2 demo.
I’ve played the Killzone 2 demo more times than I care to mention. That means upwards of 5! And, just for you lucky, lucky people, here is a list of thing you may not have noticed while blasting those red-eyed baldies.
The Red Flags
Just as you get out of the craft, the very start of the demo, you should be facing a building across the river. Now, see those 3 red flags? Take a minute to watch them. It’s amazing the detail that goes into Killzone - not one looks pre-rendered or has the same movements as the other. Good start, then.
The Blood
So, you’ve popped your first Helghast. Well done. After clearing out his mates, look at the blood. All red and fresh, eh? Stick around for a while, and then look at it. The blood seems to rust, and stick to the surface. Once again, the OCD levels of detail in the Demo scare me.
Kicking Up Wind
Blow up the bridge. Watch pretty explosion. Run forward. As you do, an ISA APC should swoop over your head, and just over through where the bridge once arched, kick up a whole lot of swirling, High-Def wind. Wow.
The Knife
When you first press right on the D-pad, it’s a little weird to have the knife suddenly be swiped 2 times. Is that just showing off? No. It’s yet another thing that makes the gameplay so fluid. Instead of having to take out your knife, wait, then swipe, it does it right after you un-sheath it, meaning and Helghan who surprised you get a face full of blade. Yum.
Teammates? What teammates?
Just before you press O to climb up to the elevator, turn back, and look at where you just came from. See those 3 ISA dudes just…doing nothing? Teach them a lesson and shoot them from long range. Suddenly, all the ISA turn on you, including the unkillable Rico. Serves you right.
Titch
Walk straight up to one of you teammates. You only reach his nipples. I don’t know what to make of this. Short people FTW?
The Other Gun
To the untrained eye, there are 3 guns in the demo - The ISA rifle, the Helghast Rifle, and the RPG. There are actually 4. When you enter the warehouse, look for a Red-Eye on the top of one of the buildings. Time it right, and shoot him so that he falls off. Rush over to him, and pick up his awesome rifle. It’s a sort of upgraded M21 - You’ll have about 14 bullets, and it’s perfect for headshots. Shoot away…
The End Video
Complete the Demo, and you’re treated to the ‘Ballet Of Death’. Yeah, It looks awesome. But watch the movements closely. If the whole world were to be going THAT slow, Sev (you) wouldn’t be able to turn THAT quickly, right? Maybe complete the game to unlock a special slow-mo ability? Who knows…
That’s most of the things I’ve noticed in the Killzone 2 Demo. If you have any more, feel free to submit them to the PS3 EU Blog! Happy Helghast Hunting!
