adamsappel Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Just got an invite. I'm surprised, since I fumbled the ball with the Monster Hunter beta. I hope this deserves the "Halo Killer" hype it's been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff W Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 You son of a ... GTA San Andreas & Killzone are the only reasons I didn't sell my PS2 and all it's games this year and use the money for new Xbox games. :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hehe. Yeah, I got lucky with this one, it's one of the few PS2 games I was looking forward to. Jeff, go to the Playstation website and register for the Playstation Underground. Check the box for beta testing in your settings. You should register your Network Adapter, too. You'll miss this beta, but you'll be in consideration for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Wow...Sony has shown so little of Killzone that I was ready to bet it wouldn't make a 2004 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that right after you got the Resident Evil:Outbreak Beta, lotta good it did me. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Everyone, Just a little reminder to make sure that you aren't breaking any NDC's (non-disclosure aggrements) by discussing the game here. As for the initial e-mail - yes,I got one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Kill zone? Forget that . My smackdown vs raw beta is on the way :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Didn't get one. My beta preference was unchecked in my profile when the Hot Shots test came out. I've had it checked ever since but didn't get the nod on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Nothing for me. That's two in a row that I've missed out on since the Hot Shots Beta. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Htide Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I'm in too. When did the Smackdown vs. Raw beta invites go out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 So is this game going to run on dedicated servers like Socom or will it be more P2P based like XBL where the console hosts the sessions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Raw vs Smackdown Beta invites went out like 3 weeks ago, and then we got the e-mail they were being sent out this past tuesday capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I got the original e-mail but have not heard back as to whether I made the final cut. I guess I'm out of luck if you guys already found out your were accepted. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan_E Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Just got the email to sign up for it now, seems awful late, but I signed up anyway. We'll see what we see, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Well, mine got here this morning and I played a quick round. Framerate was nice. Weapons were not very difficult to learn and the controls were pretty natural. Later, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Well, as every preview has said it's also very grainy. And when you sprint, your soldier lifts up his weapon and you get a subtle motion blur effect. Sprinting is allotted like in Doom 3, you get the little bar that runs out. The Helghast are so dark that they blend into cover some times. Which there seems to be plenty of(cover that is). Sound is good for Prologic. You actually can tell where explosions and gun fire come from. The sniper rifle uses some kind of lighting when you zoom in. I've only played one map so far and it wasn't very big, but then there were only ever three of four people on it at that time. Well, I'm going to play some more now. My game name is Eldorado. later, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan_E Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Played one map last night and enjoyed myself. Didn't pay attetion to what it was, but at first I was the only one in there, walking around, getting used to the surrounds, and then others started dropping in and I was fighting...and LOSING badly! I haven't touched my PS2 for months, having really gotten into Halo. But it was still fun. After losing my allotted number of lifes, I quit for the night. But I will be getting back into it tonight and over the weekend. My name there is CaptRon (sorry CaptainRon here, but that was my handle for RE and CaptainRonsEyepatch has been my TFC handle for awhile).

adamsappel Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Jordan, I'm "adamsappel" online, send me a buddy invite. Nightwing and Eldorado are the others in the beta. Which map/mode was it? I've only played in the abandoned building map and the deathmatch modes. Great potential here, though it's no "Halo killer."
