  • rudedudejude #7 3 years ago

    Can you ask him about that scandal video released of the game which was totally fake before the ps3 was released and how much of a shoddy scandal it was?

  • Borealis_UK #8 3 years ago

    Hey EG get your auto-updating pages working in Safari already, everytime you do a chat session I have to sit here hammering refresh...

  • CunningLinguist #9 3 years ago

    Why is it that most questions come from EG staff?

  • andijames #10 3 years ago

    These auto refresh things never work in Google Chrome

  • the_dudefather #11 3 years ago

    'We tried to get beta keys for everybody that asked a question today'

    You're too nice Eurogamer, its the thought that counts :)

  • zune_lai #12 3 years ago

    this is crap

  • Triggerhappytel #13 3 years ago

    @ Adam_T

    Don't ask Guerrilla about that, ask Sony. Besides, it's incredibly old (and dull) news now, and the finished product is looking unbelievably stunning in its own right.

    +1 for the lack of auto refresh in Safari

    SORT IT OUT ALREADY!!

  • rudedudejude #16 3 years ago

    Safarilol

  • andijames #17 3 years ago

    safarilol nothing. Much better browser on a system that doesn't need to be re-installed every 3 months to speed it up :)

  • Arwin #18 3 years ago

    W00t. Second time I asked something in something like t his I think, and I get the second question.

    Although admittedly the first time was cooler, which was a question asked during an E3 live interview with camera, and then you see a real person on a video screen in your browser answer a question you've asked from a place thousands of miles away - and without paying! ;)

    (I think I asked a lady from Insomniac if the walking on walls upgrade from R&C had made it into the PSP version or something.)

    9 questions from the super moderating hero und 4 from mugwum who is editor of eurogamer ... i love community chats

  • RedSparrows #20 3 years ago

    'Unbelievably stunning'? Not from what I've seen, but it does look good.

  • Widge #21 3 years ago

    That was not the best Q&A I've read, along with Pete Hines. Bloke behind Resistance 2 did a better job of addressing questions from the crowd. Also pleased to hear NO keys given away as I was in a meeting for t he duration of this!

  • TipTop #22 3 years ago

    I little heavily moderated me thinks. EG I appreciate they approached for a little PR but lets have some debate. Bit disappointed with this session.

  • Bertie Verified Senior Staff Writer, Eurogamer.net #23 3 years ago

    Do you mean the comment section from the previous blog post entry? It's a different article, unfortunately. Anything else would have been a technical hiccup.

    Yes, exclamation marks are infectious.

    Sorry if it seems lots of questions are coming from Eurogamer staff, but there often quite a lot of duplicates from readers, and questions staff don't seem to be covered by everyone else. Some are also reactionary and asked at the time. We're just trying to get as many across as possible.

    Thanks to all that did submit questions, though! Much appreciated.

  • Bertie Verified Senior Staff Writer, Eurogamer.net #24 3 years ago

    And yes, unfortunately not all our live chatters are as open as we would like. But we do try to open them up, so to speak.

    There's a line between debate and asking a deliberately bating question to a developer, mind you. But mainly we're on your side - at least until people start trying to sell their girlfriends and relatives for beta keys, Tom.

  • hahayou #25 3 years ago

    Let's chat! But don't ask us anything specific, anything technical, anything about any other games, anything difficult, or anything our PR handler might not like.

  • degville #26 3 years ago

    I asked about other environments, including trees and foliage as the question was not asked I can draw the conclusion that it was a sh*t question or that its obvious its only going to be urban environs or people are being tight lipped until the 4th of dec. I was mainly interested if they could keep the high quality gfx in a more real world scenario

  • Chufty #27 3 years ago

    That guys habit of ending every sentence with an exclamation mark was annoying!

  • ronuds #28 3 years ago

    Every answer was, "we think we did a great job and hope you agree!"

    Very informative...

  • Feanor #30 3 years ago

    So many exclamation marks. !__!

  • JahB #31 3 years ago

    @hahayou

    since Guerrilla is owned by Sony, they probably can't make any statements regarding other people's (or company's) games, no reason to blame the dev

  • JDub #32 3 years ago

    I asked three questions, but they weren't chosen for some reason. Well a similar one was....but by someone else. :/

  • SilentScream #33 3 years ago

    @DerBasstard

    I agree with that.. very annoying.

    @hahayou

    Like what JahB said, there's always stuff you can and cannot say when doing interviews.

    Discussing why other developers can't seem to use the PS3 programming isn't something they can really answer.
    "Oh well, they must be shit and lazy, that's why."
    They can't really say why they didn't.

  • patchbox360 #34 3 years ago

    must admit this game looks like its gonna be sick

  • CunningLinguist #35 3 years ago

    @Bertie

    I get it that we should show some respect and not ask questions which are too visceral, but the questions you asked that FO3 guy were just pathetic. If the person who is coming over for the chat isn't willing to answer all questions then he/she should stay home. This is Eurogamer not Fallout.com or Killzone.com or any other official website. They come here and expect exposure for PR correct answers to PR correct questions. Eurogamers no not want to read that so please just tell them to stay home. inFamous and KZ2 chats were ok, but the FO3 one was a joke.

  • Tallon4 #36 3 years ago

    Nice to see that the Dutch can programm too. I'm Dutch myself and my sister lives very near.
    Maybe I'll can visit them at Herengracht 410 Amsterdam to check out the SP???

    Now that would ne nice :)

  • mkreku #37 3 years ago

    I thought my question was better than a lot of the questions that were sent through!

    "Judging from the gameplay videos, the impressive destructive environments are available even in multiplayer. Are the destructive environments eye candy only or is it possible, for example, to kill another player that's hiding behind cover by shooting the ceiling above him, making it rain down blocks of concrete to crush him with?"

    Why didn't that question qualify? I thought it was genius!

  • Lukus #38 3 years ago

    Lots of crap answers given there, very, very cagey.

  • Mr-Bozzey #39 3 years ago

    woo i got on the page !!! but EG did twist my question it was just who is the best and worst on KZ2 in the office and why ??? never asked if they could beat any Eurogamer readers 0_o

  • Chuck_Norris #40 3 years ago

    /roundhousekick

  • Waldo #41 3 years ago

    Next time, how about an interview with the people who are actually making the game?

  • Les #42 3 years ago

    "Why didn't that question qualify? I thought it was genius!"

    1) There's no Dutch in your question;
    2) Everyone thinks his/her own question is genius but 99% of them aren't which is why most of the questions end up coming from EG staff

    ;)

  • JYM60 #43 3 years ago

    I'm convinced half of them are Tom using alt usernames. :D


    "Next time, how about an interview with the people who are actually making the game?"

    What? They are making the game, they're not just the usual marketing types we get.

  • knightmt #44 3 years ago

    I would rather see all questions posted, and they can answer which ones they want.
    The questions were very ambiguous and they were very cagey, booooring.

    I could see that the moderators questions were trying to answer multiple questions at the same time, but it did not work.
    If you are going to have a live interview all the questions should be prepared,
    and they should have them already so that they might actually say something.
    Good try I still want the game, really sketchy interview.

  • collateral89 #45 3 years ago

    killzone 2 is 1 shit hot game by the sounds of things. a must get

  • Gazza_UK #46 3 years ago

    whoop at my question getting answered. Just shows you that if you post the same one over and over again EG WILL give in :D

  • zuljin #47 3 years ago

    @Waldo
    "Next time, how about an interview with the people who are actually making the game?"

    They are. They're the ones on the boards talking to people requesting improvements etc.

    I know theres occasions when producers are basically PR drones, but they're as hands on as you can get...

  • Buran #48 3 years ago

    "From our playtest of Killzone 2 at the Eurogamer Expo last month, it looks like a technical beast, matched by very few PC GAMES at the moment"

    Fixed.
