Sony plans to release a game called "KIN" also known as Kill Zone which is suppose to be a HALO killer. Kin is being developed by the Lost Boys, a group out of the Netherlands, and here is what we know so far:

- the game will include multiplayer co-op online play, as well as various other 16 player modes.

- voice communication will be supported via the PS2's headset.

- the game runs at a constant 60 FPS and is said to be the best-looking PS2 title yet, even better than Gran Turismo 4 (?!).

- the control scheme will be similar to Halo. Imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery!

- streaming technology will be used to eliminate load times, ala Jak + Daxter.

- the "kill zone" term refers to a gameplay dynamic which would slow a player's targeting, giving them a slight advantage over other players.... is this first-person bullet-time? It's not known if this feature will be included in the final game as of yet.

- the game is rumored to use the Havok physics engine found in Half-Life 2.

- the game's soundtrack will be performs by a symphony orchestra.

- the targeted release date is sometime in Fall 2004.

Sounds pretty good to me. But a HALO killer?..... Hmmm......We'll have to see. The source says that whats more important is that if its going to be a HALO 2 killer.

The Source.
