Not much there, can't tell a lot about just by a trailer that doesn't give any in-game footage.

Music is sweet, hope it comes out for PC.

EDIT: Screw this game, just read the FAQ.

Will Killzone be a PlayStation 2 exclusive?
Yes - on 22nd March 2004, Guerrilla and Sony signed an exclusivity deal that will see Guerrilla develop games exclusively for SCEE and Sony platforms from now on.

I saw the PC versiona while back in game informer... (january i think, i'll have to check) but then I heard nothing about it until last issue, and that was the preview for the PS2 version... I would love the PC version because it was gonna offer 64 player support rather then just 16... but i'll take what I can get... now I need a new network adaptor...

EDIT: just read Derfud's edit...

Damn... oh well... I'll still play it...

They'll port it to PC eventually. Just look at past PS2 exclusives like GTA, MGS: Sons of Liberty, and Manhunt.

Why do companies keep insisting on making quality FPS's for consoles? Don't they understnad that PC's are far better for those?

I agree. I hate almost all FPS's for consoles. Only one that I really did like was halo. They had the graphics perfect and the aim that wasn't quite auto aim, but not impossible to use, because of how the reticule was set up.

PSM did a real tiny one page preview for this game about 4 months ago. Saw it then and it looked amazing, I'll have to check out the new issue haven't read it yet.

From the FAQ section on the forums:

Will Killzone be a PlayStation 2 exclusive?
Yes - on 22nd March 2004, Guerrilla and Sony signed an exclusivity deal that will see Guerrilla develop games exclusively for SCEE and Sony platforms from now on.

(that rules it out for me ....screw ps2)

Will I be able to drive vehicles in Killzone?
There will be no driveable vehicles in Killzone

(um sorry no)

Is Killzone going to be a Halo-beater?
Killzone and Halo are going to be very different experiences, both in terms of their online and offline play and their look and feel. In Killzone the emphasis is placed more on intense, gritty and realistic squad-based combat. In short, if you�re expecting a clone of Halo, prepare for a surprise!

(hell they would be better off going with a clone ....lol)

Playstation Magazine raves about this game, and theres only like 5 screenshots. I think it could be potientially disappointing.

Even if it is good, it may only be a Halo killer. It won't be a Halo 2 killer.

Halo isn't about shooting aliens. It may not exactly have a unique storyline, but it's more than just a shooting game. I would explain, but I doubt you would understand.

How is its storyline not unique?

Just 'cause there's aliens, doesn't mean it's not original.

when you think about it the storyline isn't really that unique... Objective A) Destroy Alien Race bent on the destruction of Humanity, Objective B) Destroy Alien Viral Infection bent on the destruction of all Life, Objective C) Destroy Alien AI bent on destruction of all Life...

Yeah. But it does it better. Halo 2 is gonna own. We don't know crap about Killzone's gameplay, but I'm betting 95% of the people here have played Halo.

Halo for a PC FPS was nothing new or revolutionary, what it was, however, was a fairly revolutionary Console FPS. Halo had more responsive controls and a better control scheme than past console FPS's, but the control scheme was what PC FPS's have been using all the time, so that's why it's only good as a console FPS.
