"EGM/1UP.com revealed that the August issue of EGM has a feature story on Killzone 2. Subscribers should have their copies as early as today and the magazine hits news stands later this week.

The magazine features 12 pages of Killzone 2 goodness, some of which mentions that four-and-a-half of the six cores of the PS3's Cell chip are being used by Killzone 2 at the moment. Guerrilla Games' Technical Directer, Michiel van der Leeuw also mentions, "Sony basically has an international forum for..."

"Killzone 2 developer Guerrilla Games has stated with confidence that it believes the highly anticipated First Person Shooter has lived up to the expectations of eager fans since the game debuted in trailer form at E3 2005.

"The level of anticipation for the 2005 trailer meant that people expected the biggest thing ever to materialize, and what we’ve shown so far, at last year’s E3 and today means that we’re living up to the expectation," commented Steven Ter Heide, Killzone 2’s senior pro..."

"Though Phil "Game 3.0" Harrison may have moved onto green ... err, different pastures, his flock of PlayStation 3 developers haven't forgotten his lessons. After taking a handful of upcoming PlayStation games out for a spin last Friday during Sony's Pre-E3 Judge's Event in LA, I noticed a recurring phrase in my notebook: community website. Think Halo 3 and Bungie.net; a game-specific site chocked full of additional ways to engage the title. It's like ... Web 2.0 plus ... Game 1.0 – wait, we f..."

"" I saw Playr this morning too. It's basically the new version of Gamer TV. Made by the same people with the same format but with a different, less nasally, presenter. Airs in the UK on Bravo at the weekend (a satellite/cable channel).

They had a Sony rep demoing KZ2. He spoke about AI advancements although it wasn't abundantly clear that the clips tallied with what he was saying.

Couple of other things though. The dude said there were some new weapons that people would be impressed wit..."

"Random guy on NeoGAF:

James Stevenson is the community manager for Insomniac games.
He replied to some one who said KZ2 isnt going to be there, saying Wrong. Meaning KZ2 WILL BE THERE.

I know this is just from a forum, but its from some one from insomniac who is at the show."

"The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have brought HD gaming into the mainstream. After years of High-Def in the living room being a hazy concept that really only affected A/V aficionados, the more technologically inclined, and the affluent, these videogame machines have made HD Gaming as simple and affordable as “plug n’ play.” But as with any consumer device, the hardware, for all its potential, is just that — untapped potential. What really brings out the true worth of the machine is the soft..."

"I believe that these statues were also given out as prizes and promotional items way back in 2004. This one in particular was found in an old thrift shop. Now who’d abandon such a loyal solider of the Helghan army? He’s made out of fiberglass and can be disassembled so that it makes for easier shipping. What’s even more impressive is the detachable StA-52 LAR(Light Assault Rifle) which you can use to ward off those pesky ISA neighbors of yours."

"The best bits from The Insider article from issue 100 of psm3.

- Guerilla's Vietnam Shooter Shellshock is set to get a sequel. The sequel will be more of a psychological horror than action.
- The Godfather 2 is very much 'go', and is rumoured to contain 'investigation' segments.
- Iron Man is set to appear in Sega's Incredible Hulk, with the big green guy returning the favour in Iron Man.
- Activision have trademarked the name DJ Hero, this could mean a Guitar Hero style game but with a..."

"The wait until Killzone 2’s rumored September release might not feel as long with a new Killzone game coming to PSN this May."

"GamePro readers have spoken: the most eagerly anticipated PS3 title this year is none other than Metal Gear Solid 4.

The news might be unsurprising to some, given the amount of hype and anticipation surrounding this upcoming system seller, but what is slightly surprising is just how much of a win MSG4 achieved over other highly anticipated PS3 IP in GamePro's most recent readership poll.

The Hideo Kojima title pulled in 57.7% of the vote, a full 46.4% higher than second place finisher (..."

"According to the latest Sony Computer Entertainment UK release schedule PlayStation 3 gamers will have plenty to keep them occupied this autumn, with three massive titles hitting stores.

Scheduled for release in September Killzone 2, with Insomniac Games' launch title sequel, Resistance 2, pencilled in for a November release.

The titles are likely to go up against some heavy hitters from Microsoft, including Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Banjo."

"According to sources, Sony has something big ready to be revealed at E3 this year in regards to the Sony PS3."

"Honestly. I've started writing this reply three times, switching from angry flaming of the kind of mentality that draws people to wasting their lives making posts like the above, through into a factual listing of the many inaccuracies in your post (almost every word is, in fact, objectively incorrect). I've no idea what makes gamers turn so frigging nasty when Devs don't cater to their every whim and I'm not going to start guessing now - if you want to go be excited about Eight Days then be ..."

"Unofficial fan site Killzone Unit reports that during the 1UP podcast in question, Electronic Gaming Magazine previews editor Brian Intihar offered that: "Killzone 2 will come out in 2008, no matter what the quality."

Evidently, some expectant fans took this comment to mean that Sony is pressuring Guerrilla Games to get the much talked about sci-fi FPS sequel ready for launch before it is fully finished."

"From around September or October, the PS3 will move into top gear: that’s when Killzone 2 will arrive, to truly take first-person shooters into the next-gen era. And – more excitingly in my book – when LittleBigPlanet – will arrive. Again, LBP will provide an unknown gameplay experience – firstly, because it is so unlike any other game and, secondly, because it will be up to us to define the gameplay. As the new video of LBP shows, it’s going to look amazing – we’ll get the wh..."

"Recall the furore kicked up when it was discovered Sony had utilised target-rendered game footage to bolster the E3 appeal amassed by Killzone 2?

Hmm, well, guilty or innocent, series developer Guerilla Games has this week reacted swiftly to recent claims that screenshots for the eagerly anticipated sequel have been doctored to improve their overall quality."

"As the fighting between the capabilities of the three individual consoles continue, KillZone 2's developer, Guerilla, has spoken fighting words during an interview with UK's Official PlayStation Magazine."

"In an exclusive interview conducted by Gamereactor during the Games Convention event last week in Germany, Killzone 2 developer has hintedd that, a demo for Killzone 2 is surely on it’s way to the PSN store.

The developer did not give a specific date as to when the demo will be hitting the Playstation Network, however, rumors are circulating that, it will hit shortly or a few weeks after Halo 3’s launch on Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Here is the link to watch the whole video again and watch the ..."

"To be honest, for weeks I didn't even know that any actual gameplay footage existed, because the E3 video I saw basically ended after the cut scene finished, showing only show a few very brief, fleeting clips of combat. However, a few days ago I came across an extended version of the trailer video, which actually does give you a (mostly) uninterrupted view of a few minutes of play time.

So, since no one else seems capable of giving a proper analysis and report on what we've seen of Killzo..."

"Throughout the campaign, players will encounter lifelike and adaptable artificial intelligence (A.I.) from enemies as well as fellow soldiers, destructible environments, and stunningly detailed scenery. Additionally, players will be tasked with utilizing a host of new weapons and vehicles in the war to stop the Helghast. Featuring an extensive single-player campaign and thrilling multi-player mode, Killzone 2 delivers a host of new game play elements and an intense storyline that will once ag..."

"After exhibiting its stunning trailer at last week's E3 Business & Media Summit in Santa Monica, California, Guerilla Games has spilled the beans on the first gameplay details for its PS3-exclusive first-person shooter Killzone 2.

N'Gai Croal was privileged enough to get to grips with the sci-fi shooter with his own two hands, and duly confirms (pay attention fanboys) in his Newsweek blog that everything us punters saw during E3 was real-time footage and not CGI wizardry."

"With Sony's press conference in the past, we've created a roundup of all the small, but significant, announcements and confirmations. This year, Sony allowed very little time for the audience to ponder and absorb, so a lot of the groundbreaking revelations were not emphasised. This was of course a good thing, as it showed that Sony had a lot of things to say. So aside from the major announcements, such as MGS4, Haze and UT3 exclusivity, here are the other tidbits:

- 200 games on Blu-ray an..."

"Q: What are some of the key impressions you want to make with gamers after seeing Killzone 2?

A: We want people who see the game to say "Wow! What a rush!" We hope that they see the level of detail, intensity, and chaos we have put into building the game and are really excited to see and hear their reactions.

Q: Did any military personnel or other professional advisors help with the design of Killzone 2?

A: Not military, but we did work with Hollywood special effects people
What ..."

"Tonight, Sony Computer Entertainment finally pulled the curtains back from its highly-anticipated first-person shooter, Killzone 2. The console giant has been entirely mum on the game since its debut at E3 2005, and though it started with tremendous hype, gamers have grown more and more weary over its status as time has gone on. The issue up until now has been that as impressive as the trailer was, it was all pre-rendered, and being that no one has really heard about the game in nearly two ye..."

"Some new info of Killzone 2 from Power Unlimited magazine.

3. Will Killzone 2 hit stores in September?

Expectations for the PlayStation 3 premier shooter are high, and Sony aims to release Killzone 2 during September. In an upcoming GamePro issue, sources close to Sony claim that development on Killzone 2 is going extremely well and the game should hit stores in September right before the holiday season. One GamePro editor wrote, that in comparison with Halo 3 and other shooters on bot..."

"Many are taking the invite as proof that the new Killzone will be at this year's E3. Any further doubts were largely dispelled by the fact the Federal Express envelope the invitation came in bore the words "Killzone 2 Invitation" on the front."
