Although the Killzone 2 demo was pretty damn good, I did notice that it felt really weird to aim and shoot a Helghast. It was almost as if my perfectly lined up shits were being dodged at times, well thanks the video below (uploaded by youtube user Muchrockness) we can clearly see there is a 167ms delay between pressing the button and the reaction happening on screen.
To make matters worse, Killzone 2 developers are acting like this is no problem and claiming that it is an issue not worth patching. Here is a direct quote from a Killzone 2 developer posted on the Playstation forums
So at this moment we are not considering it a bug, or anything that needs to be patched.
We do suggest however not having the sensitivity on full as this can make the appearence of a delay seem more aggressively. Work your way up the sensitivity scale slowly as you become more accustomed to the game.
Also seeing if there are any post-processing settings on your TV you could shut off without negating the visual quality of the game or if you have a ‘Gaming’ setting to try that as few TVs are set up as standard for gaming and often require some tweaking.
Looks like if this issue presents itself in the retail version, we might not see a patch anytime soon. However Killzone 2 is still a great game worth buying, lets just hope this issue doesn’t widely affect the enjoyment of the multilayer portion of the game.

at first i thought i felt a delay but the second time i played through i didn’t even notice.
Granat what world have you been living in?
How couls anyone NOT NOTICE the fucking delay, lag, programed heavyness, what ever its fucking called its anoying to say the least. I am at a loss how you did not notice this glaring oversight!
I agree. The lag makes multiplayer unplayable. I get too frustrated with the ridiculous amount of lag. You can’t hit shit.
I didn’t have a delay like homeboy. Although the controls feel heavy, it’s something to get use to. the third time I played, I got accustomed to the controls and had a better idea on how to maneuver. I think many people are use to that quick-twitch call of duty type of controls.
At my earlier comment:
I did notice some sort of delay when I focused all of my attention on it. I put the sensitivity controls all the up and It played a lot better for me.
I just bought the game today and within the first few seconds of moving the cursor (right joystick) I said to myself “What why is it taking so long for the cursor to move”. The more I played the more annoying it got. Running up or down winding staircases is even a challenge (without running into the damn walls).
I have a real fast reaction time that is ridiculous so the half second delay between me moving the joystick and seeing anything happen on screen to the crosshair is even more noticeable. Im an FPS fan to the end, I love the graphics of this game, love the audio… but I can not get past the aim delay. A games success at being enjoyable relies on a few things. One of them being seamless integration of the player’s hand movements and what they see on screen.
When that is there after a while it no longer feels like you are controlling the game with the controller, hell it no longer feels like you are playing a game rather that you are right there in the action. Without that you just cant get that into the action.
The frustration of doing something and it just not happening on the screen until what feels like a second or two later (to those with fast reaction time) takes away from the experience. It took me about 2 hours of playing this game to realize I am going to do what I never did before, which is taking the game and receipt back to the store and returning it.
To those who feel this aim delay matters as much as it does to me don’t feel you are stuck with this crap and have to eat the $63 dollars. This is not a copy-able pc game you can burn and play without the real disc, ps3 games you can return =-)

yeah the delay is noticable, i didnt think it would be in the final copy. but i guess you get used to it…ive pretty much gotten used to it now and im willing to give it a blind eye for the moment.
i hope with enough pressure they’ll patch it.
yeah this delay thing with the control is stupid. It’s such a great game visually stunning and so far the story is really interesting. I’ve gotten used to the fact that the controller does have a delay… But it’s something i just can’t ignore is very annoying.
FUCK FUCK FUCK
the game looks good but i cant get into it. THE DELAY IS KILLING ME
I cant aim right its killin me i had to turn the game off its too damn annoying
How does a game of this calibur ship with laggy controls… Not that precision is required in an fps… So dissapointed
If you are an hardcore FPS fan dont even think about buying that game or dont even bother to think K2 fanboys, even PS3 K2 playerbase split in 2 because of this issue, one side totally refuse it BLINDY while countless posts open about this issue and request for a PATCH…
After playing a while this game began to give me headaches, cuz your hand & eye coordination dont reflect what is going on on screen, you push the stick gently to aim precisely it doesnt respond because of deadzone, then you push harder but it accelerates and you pass the target and then try to reaim back to track the target then FUCK IT PASSES AGAIN, i am playing games for more than 20 years and never fought with controls so hard, I wont even mention firing input lag, check youtube for more detailed info…
Such a masterpiece shouldnt be released with this frustrating controller scheme.DONT GET THIS GAME UNTIL IT GETS PATCHED, cuz if GG refuses to patch it a you re (including me) screwed…I ll wait 2 more weeks to get it fixed than I ll sell it…It is not KILLZONE2 atm, DEADZONE 2…
I’m not a hater. I see the brilliant potential, but for a first person shooter, the controls are just horrible.
Anyone who says “they are not lagged, it’s for simulation” is just in denial. Why would you want to simulate lag? You can still make the guns feel heavy without making it hard to control. That’s really the problem. Even in real life while holding the heaviest of guns, your muscles respond as you would expect.. I believe it’s just an excuse to say otherwise.
Great game.. just stop denying that the controls aren’t bad. please..
I’v been playing FPS games for 12 years now.
I am in disbelief that a developer can release something this brilliant graphically
and not understand that the whole world has been playing games with controls that perform like a Ferrari. And they send us a game with control delay, heavyness that feels like I’m driving a FUCKING BUS instead of a Ferrari. COD4 controls rock!
Ultimately the consumer is always right, if they dont fix the controls in a months time we will all be playing other games again.
You cant go backwards with something as fundamental as the controls of a game.
Fix this thing GG. You did a great job with everything else, if you refuse it will only show the world how proud you are!
i mean like if you never played cod 4 and other games that have no control lags it be no problem. but i come from cod 4 and halo, resistance and gears to this and this game is really good. but that lag on the controls is annoying. if they fix this it be great. but in the mean time im playing game with out control lag.

I couldn’t agree more!…how could they do this to this game???….how….OMFG….i didn’t think there was a game that could put COD in its place until i saw KZ2! I was so excited…i ran and grabbed it the second i got off work on the 27th. Raced home…installed it……….and then…i tried to control my character…i tried changing settings on my tv…tried changing the input resolution through the ps3 only to realize that GG screwed the programming up for the controls!! We need to start a petition or something…we can’t let them do this!!
yeah i aint gonna lie, the lag is a big deal…but if you want to enjoy this game you just gotta adapt to it…after playing for a long while you can adapt.
but it is kinda fucked up that they made it like this..they made an almost perfect game with a very annoying flaw… the worst thing is im not even sure if they can fix it any time soon…cos i think its an issue with how they made the game run at a smooth frame rate.
i think if the game controlled perfectly, then the frame rate would be game stopping.
they sacrificed the controls for a solid frame rate.
I just read on another forum that its probably the engine they used. They have been building this thing for 4-5 years and the engine was originaly designed for 480 dpi and cant handle the added demand made on it. I still think they can and should fix it. They hit a home run but the park they are playing in is a Major league park not little league when it comes to the controls. I love everything else about the game, great stuff, but if I cant play the way I’v played for the last 12 years I’ll be damed if I keep playing this and have to re-learn everything that by now is so instictive to me.
Guess I haven’t played enough Call of Duty to be effected by any kind of lag.
I guess u a retard if you can’t notice these lag issue’s. Stop Dick riden the game like it’s all Honky Dory
Notice and effected are two different issues. Dont mad cause I put that AK in you in Swiff’s ass in that hallway.
LMAO i cant believe you brought that lucky shit up
It’s bearable I just don’t like that weird action that the aim takes after you shoot someone that’s how they end up killing you.
I love the lag CUZ it makes my feel drunk without being drunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it’s not the lag that you can’t hit anything. >_<
