If your jet pack is in the front, does that make it a jet fanny-pack?

Nice! I love how the jetpack flames change color depending on what you're doing on it. Plus the sound effects.

Damn just missed it, but seriously the demo looks really cool.  I was surprised how good it looked given that it was in 3D and I was figuring some form of graphic downgrade may happen as a result.

For pre alpha it's looking pretty tasty. I like the way that jetpack handles too.

I played killzone 1 online beta. Was pretty broken, heh.  
 
Edit: The beta that was. I have fond memories of shooting a rocket and a whole screen of dudes dying even though they were miles away.

Fanny packs are also worn on the back. Worn on the front they're called belt bags.
These distinctions are important when you're giving some geek a swirly.

As long as Rico dies early... I don't understand how he could  be considered responsible to be in any sort of command.

If they have to delay the game five months to re-write the game and kill off Rico, then I'd be happy to wait.
 
And I like how the jetpack just shoots ridiculously powerful fire right in front of your face. Besides that, and the confusingly misleading ending of this trailer, it's looking cool.

Rico is still there but he can now revive you if you are about to die. So he has some use.

Yeah a couple of times. It was just a fairly ordinary shooter marred by some technical issues because they were overly ambitious on the PS2.

I hope they learned a lot from Killzone 2. This is their chance to tell a better story with better characterisation and hopefully the single-player level design is greatly improved to boot. Still needs more Helghast from the look of the pre-alpha demo.

They could have made another character do that. Rico was a complete douche in Killzone 2 and I don't even want to  see his character progression. I am just uninterested in seeing him and as I said I don't get how he is still in the role his is in. You'd think after what he did in Killzone 2 he'd get demoted or something...

I've never played a Killzone game before so forgive me if this question is sorta old hat but is it meant to be that goofy? Your squad member is telling you not to mess with his hair, the enemies have crazy over the top voices, JETPACKS!?
 
I always got the impression that Killzone was a dark, no nonsense kind of affair.

The hair thing, that's Rico, we all hope that character gets killed in this new game. 
Enemies are from other planet, so that's the reason of the voice. 
Jetpacks? well new game they have to introduce new mechanics I guess.

Liking how noisy and jolt-y the jetpack is. Otherwise it seems like Killzone 2 in the snow so far.

Yeah, I kinda agree. There is no secret that FPS games are best played on PC. That is at least my platform of choise when I'm playing FPS games. Still, my experience with Killzone 2 taught me that the heavy weight on your character in that game is only possible to acheive through the use of console and it's controller.  A heavy feel to the movement and aiming in a PC game would just feel janky imo. So console is definitely the platform for this game in particular. Cause if you remove the heavy feel it just wouldn't be Killzone.

I have never been interested in Killzone nor have I ever played one, but this looks pretty good. I hope they put this demo on PSN.

@lilman1101:  It's called bad encoding of the video that's all! I used to get it on my PC when watching media centre videos (I think it's called "interlacing") I swapped video codecs and it was fine, but this has been encoded like that so we are stuck with it!

It looks good visually just like 2 did. However, it appears from this that it still handles sluggish and the field of view when on foot of is fucking piss poor, it would help if the controls were refined and the field of view was wider.
