BHR-3's DEMO IMPRESSIONS

It looks like toasty's impressions thread got locked so will put them here? the KZ2 thread is pretty large and this ones got the word demo in it so i will put mine here

I had to wait to DL it again b/c i delete my EU user b4 the demo was installed so that suxed

The demo was ok im not a FPS guy so my impression might not be the best i liked the RE5 demo more than the KZ2 one

The graphics were damn good i liked the blood splatter on the screen wen u got shot and wen u shoot others the lighting was the best ive seen yet, the explosions were looking nice and realistic as well

The enemy AI was also good for it not even being on the hardest level something that the RE5 demo disappointed me with but maybe the AI in the full RE5 game will be better

Sound was insane i like the enemys yells and screams and it really made it feel like i was in a war zone in the 1st stage

I really liked how you don't have to hold the the left stick down to run just tap it once and ur off it just feels difficult to hold it and move it at the same time like other FPS shooters out there

The Bad

The aiming felt sluggish or to sensitive maybe im not used to the controls or FPS games but they really need to make the DS3 sticks alot more stiffer

What the hell happened to the blind fire while in cover they took it out i mean the AI is able to do it they even have a over the head backwards manuver giong on i wanna to do that, it makes me feel like there better than me wen i see them using it and i can't.  First they took out the cover completly for online now this i feel like there well be a patch to completly remove the whole cover system soon, i hope they keep the cover system for future KZ's and more FPS should have them

UGH! I'm at 10% after about 15 minutes, it's horrible -_- it's only a 1G what's the issue >_< this is by far the slowest I've ever downloaded anything from the PSN store. They should have allocated more bandwidth for this game cause they had to have known that it was going to be like this...

 

You know that some Americans are DL KZ 2 through created European accounts? This could be a possiblity of why the DLs are so slow.

The bandwitdth is intended for Europe and it would be come unstable if guys across the pond are trying to access it too.

It is just my theory.

 

got mine in <10 minues from US store.

 

Well congrats to you mine is still at 40% and most people in this thread are in the same boat.  I even have my PS3 on a wired connection and downloading from the US store cause I have the demo code.

I have it wireless, and it's faster than wired, so you may want try that.

 

wireless is faster? I have an 8mbps connection, a gigabit router, a cat 6 ethernet cable with all psn ports open on my router. I don't think ther's any way to speed this up guys. This one just takes patience.

 

I already download it this thing a long time ago, started to download around 11:00 and i was done about 3:30, it wasn't downloading all the time, though, so i was done around 3 hours.

I just started downloading mine about 50 minutes ago and it's currently at 47%. Considering yours took that long, I don't think mine is slow anymore.

 

Glad to help, anyway it took that long, because i was watching hulu, at the same time. On my wired it would take 5 hours so i think that's an improvement.

 



I was just playing around in KZ2 again and when you get inside the
warehouse.. after you kill all the helgast leave all the gas tanks.. and
do this..

on the long ones you can turn them into missiles.. lay them down aim at
the nozzle at the top and shot it.. watch it fly across the ground. if
they are standing up then watch it fly all over the place.. freaking
awesome.. if you shoot it in the base it will flip and spin all over the
place.. man i never played a console fps game that does that.. most just blow up or gas comes out.. these actually react to where you shoot it, talk about realism... game just keeps getting better.

Oh and that single shot rifle is nice (in warehouse guy at top. grenade him down.)



In the warehouse, there are those two propane tanks on top of an large object that an enemy was taking cover behind. So, I aimed at one of the tanks and shot at it and it started flying directly at the enemy. Sadly though, he rushed away as it spun next to him and before it exploded.

I also noticed something funny, when the squad moves past that set piece where the 3 helghast take out the two ISA guys from above, a rocket will sometimes hit nearby as your all moving towards the next area. One time, a rocket landed right in the middle of the three other guys and they did the exact same pain animation at the exact same time.

It's also weird how early on in the level, you'll see a bunch of people taking cover in a row and they all are sitting the exact same way.

 



any one had a problem seeing the symbol at the brightness adjust screen if you have just go into the ps3 xmb and change the rgb to limited ,and when you go back you will see the symbol in the box so you can adjust the brightness if you want, it is the same solution that is used for people who had brightness problems with resistance 2

Great lighting and physics. Great atmosphere. Great sound with the moans and groans of Helghan. I love the way the guns fire, very violent and brutal feeling, very rewarding. Just wish my TV was nicer than a cheap 720p lcd to exploit the graphics fully.

You're not missing anything.

Killzone2 is in 720p native.
With a 1080p HDTV (like my Sharp Aquos 46"), Killzone2 is just upscaled (and to some people, upscaling a 720p image is uglier than watching it native at 720p.)

 

 

Yeah not talking so much about the resolution, but you're tv has a great contrast ratio and is just overall much better quality. Your blacks are darker, colors are more vibrant, much less washed out then a TV like mine. My blacks are dark grey. The best way I can put it would be on a quality TV colors are like a oil painting, where on mine it would be like a single layer of watercolors. I will be in the market for a TV very similar to yours in the next year so for now I will make do haha

The exploding barrels remind me of half life 2 for some reason.



That was kind of short but it's a demo it's expected. Sadly, to me, it just felt like any other shooter only prettier.
