Killzone 2 beta now 2008 News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony US has said the planned Killzone 2 beta will not be out now until next year.
"We are hoping to do a beta but I don't think we'll have anything ready before this year is over... it is something we are working on for next year," a spokesperson told PSU.
Earlier this year developer Guerilla said it was definitely working on a public test to iron out the multiplayer part of its game, but gave no indication of when.
While the publisher has crushed a little bit of hope inside our hearts with its statement, we only ever really expected it around middle to late 2008 - when Killzone 2 is supposed to sit on shop shelves.
Killzone 2 is a futuristic shooter stuffed full of cinematic warfare not too dissimilar to Call of Duty 4. Pop over to our preview if that sounds like a good idea to you.

Or was the Killzone beta being this year nothing but rumours from day one?
Or was it an assertion from the entirety of the gaming press that was never rebutted by Sony or the developer Who had also added "Of course there is going to be a public beta, I have always said that any game that has an online mode needs to go through a public beta to ensure it works as intended." From a developer who has been developing a PS3 game as long as anyone and games like Ratchet and Drake have already shipped on PS3, as well as the PS3 arriving a year later than expected, what’s taking them so long? EDIT: forgot to add CoD 4 into the mix of top drawer PS3 already shipped titles.

No, it's a reference to every fucking game these days that apparently has a marketing stunt disguised as a beta test. Name it a demo and nearly nobody plays it, name it a beta and people will be queuing in line and spamming forums to get into the 'exclusive free beta'. I'm looking at you COD4. ¬_¬ EDIT: And TBF, KZ1 was a bad game, it's up to them to prove that KZ2 is anything but substandard.

"And TBF, KZ1 was a bad game..." Can't comment, I've not played it... "...it's up to them to prove that KZ2 is anything but substandard." But Liberation was fantastic. Ultimately, a lot of people change jobs, whether games industry or not, so I've never really understood this "game x was great, so game x2 will also be great" (or conversly - x was cr*p, hence...). |

Calling it a demo would imply that it's a close approximation of the final product, whereas titling it 'beta' gives them a chance to iron out any bugs without people moaning about quality. And quite frankly some other games BADLY needed a public beta *cough*Pro Evo 2008*cough* |

Hope they are not just dragging their heels because of the slower than expected uptake of hardware.
Starts to become a chicken and egg situation. |

That's down to the PS3 and Xbox 360 being more close to a PC nowadays, if neither had a Hard Drive to fix bugs and junk we wouldn't be seeing any public Beta's at all, just making use of what is there. Test driving something out in the open can give you a infinitely much better feedback than internally testing something, so it's no surprise devs are "jumping on the bandwagon" |

True. But I'm a sceptic of everything. Still, liberation was indeed quite entertaining which gives hope that they can make a good game. They admitted that KZ1 was rushed but it seems that they are taking their time with KZ2, which can only be good. Eh? What if it is actually a beta test? Calling it a demo would imply that it's a close approximation of the final product, whereas titling it 'beta' gives them a chance to iron out any bugs without people moaning about quality. If COD4 wasn't a demo, I'm a RRR. The final game is even buggier than the 'beta' and I can't see how they changed anything for the better with it. Test driving something out in the open can give you a infinitely much better feedback than internally testing something, so it's no surprise devs are "jumping on the bandwagon" Maybe so but I'm a paranoid marketing-o-foob. ^_^ |

Actually SCEA didn't talk to PS Extreme. Your source is wrong. Alex Armour from Sony Computer Entertainment America spoke to PSU.com.

Beta delays.. ofc you guys. Think of it. How many times have games been delayed for PS3? and not just for a while. like the lineups they say and they come up with the half crapy one. They even delay their consoles why not the game? So yeah.. All those that loved the clip they saw from Sony on the game like.. 3 years ago? and they even said it was in game ( how much stupid can you be to say that? o.O ) and not even the beta is close.. well good luck with that one! S0ounds fun though! 9 not the game. the beta delay :p )

EG your doing it again! killzone was utter crud on the PS2. why do people think this will be the holy grail of gaming? |
