Killzone 2

[Karl Pilkington]

Looking like being released end of year, but this is looking like a ridiculously promising shooter for the PS3.

Graphically it just crap on every other console game ever released. Will be interesting to see if the plot, multiplayer and gameplay can all live up to the super-slick presentation.

Killzone was one of those bland FPSs, and it seems the sequel will be the same. It doesn't look to bring anything new to the FPS genre.

 

[anti.]

ohhhh looks like a standoff is about to take place!

Um, what leads you to believe it will be bland? At the very least it will be the best-looking console game available when its released, so I wouldn't think anything would make me think its bland.

Halo 3 didn't bring anything new to the genre, and nor did Bioshock or COD4 - yet many of you 360 fanboys seem to tout those titles as being of a high quality. I find it interesting that these titles aren't tainted in your eyes, whereas Killzone2 is. Could it be that KZ2 is a PS3 exclusive which causes you to make this claim?

See once again you turn this in to a fight.

Killzone doesn't have any features that revolutionise the genre, simlpe as that. Neither did Halo 3, apart from an insanely fun co-op mode.

CoD4 had the perfect mix of realism and fun, with an addictive online that made it a great FPS. Neither Halo 3 or Killzone have done that.

Bioshock was great too, wouldn't call it more of a hybrid RPG/FPS though. The story was just superb. Could it be that Bioshock/Halo 3/COD4 wasn't a PS3 exclusive which causes you to bitch like a teenage girl?

Um no, it isn't a fight - I'm just asking you to back up what you're saying is all. I think your first comment was completely unfounded and that you are just making random predictions about a game you won't ever play.

Killzone doesn't have any features that revolutionise the genre, simlpe as that. Neither did Halo 3, apart from an insanely fun co-op mode.

Well, nobody actually knows what features Killzone2 will have yet - so you're completely wrong. Unless of course you have somehow played the game and you just aren't telling?

Halo 3's co-op mode wasn't revolutionary. The fact you didn't know of co-op FPS titles prior to Halo3 demonstrates the level of knowledge you have of gaming.

CoD4 had the perfect mix of realism and fun, with an addictive online that made it a great FPS. Neither Halo 3 or Killzone have done that.

Killzone 2 isn't out yet mate. I feel the need to repeat this point to you.

Bioshock was great too, wouldn't call it more of a hybrid RPG/FPS though. The story was just superb. Could it be that Bioshock/Halo 3/COD4 wasn't a PS3 exclusive which causes you to bitch like a teenage girl?

Who's bitching? I own all of Bioshock/Halo3/COD4. None of them are that great.

Beaumont, Karl didn't start anything. If anything you started it, go off with your little 360 fangirls. Leave the big stuff to the men .

And I quote:

"yet many of you 360 fanboys seem to tout those titles as being of a high quality." As if that isn't starting anything.

All of the Halos set the bar for multiplayer. Halo 3 set the bar for 4-player co-op games, sure there were others, but were nowhere near as good Halo 3. That being said, I believe everything else about Halo is bland.

I never said I played Killzone 2, I said Killzone was extremely bland and from the looks of Killzone 2 so far, nothing has changed.

I am hardly a 360 fanboy. But whatever, think what you want. Just stating an opinion.

 

[Karl Pilkington]

Ok beaumont, you've made your point quite clear - you just want to make opinions about stuff without backing it up, and you don't want me to ask you any questions about those opinions.

I am hardly a 360 fanboy. But whatever, think what you want. Just stating an opinion.

Let me state my opinion: You're a 360 fanboy who knows close to nothing about this game.

I play as many games as the next person on this board but suggesting that anything to do with gaming makes you a man is laughable at best.

Back to KZ2... Sony will be throwing a fair amount of cash towards this I reckon so it will end up ok. It will need to obviously improve on the first effort. Graphics alone won't do it though. Proof will be how it all fits together.

Pretty much. From the gameplay vids I've seen it looks pretty sweet.

Look at any video and list one thing that doesn't make the game look like an average FPS.

The story seems to be one giant cliche (not to mention unoriginal), bland gameplay and it has all been done before. I would like them to prove me wrong, but I doubt they will.

It looks very intense and extremely polished from what I've seen. Still, I haven't seen enough of it for me to unequivocally state I think it'll be awesome.

What exactly makes it look average to you?

How so? I haven't come across a detailed plot synopsis yet, so I can't have an opinion either way.

bland gameplay and it has all been done before.

Based on what, exactly?

I would like them to prove me wrong, but I doubt they will.

Lie.

Okay you obviously didn't understand my post. Guess you're a 360 fanGIRL aswell.

Jesus this board has gone downhill in the last few months Can't even have a discussion on a new game without it turning into crap like this

Game looks pretty nice from the screens, bit early to make any real judgement.

I know you are but what am I?

You were saying having a certain console made you a man. Wheres the misunderstanding? I'll leave the rest of the thread hopefully to talking about the game.

Hmmmm but what do you expect from people who devote their entire gaming experiences to one console... Bound to happen with prices these days...

And Golden Eye will forever have the greatest offline multiplayer of all time

 

[Dagless]

ANYWAY Killzone 1 was good fun, still not as good as many shooters but good fun... I liked the setting for a lot of the places, a few cool guns, was pretty fun... I expect Killzone 2 to be quite fun as well, with the awesome Helghast as the enemy... Looks the goods so far

Liberations was up there despite being a totally different game... I hope they make another one similar to Liberation..

 

[HBK619]

Killzone 2 is looking quite alright at the moment, the graphics are phenomenal, the AI looks really good, same with the AI reactions, nothing been said about online, story or much else though, so I will be waiting for more info before passing judgment.

 

[beaumont911]

Definitely. Playing Temple with 4-players running around with remote mines. Those were the days.

Exactly my thoughts. Looks nice but not enough has come out to really know if it's just a nice looking game without much going for it, or a genuinely awesome new title.

I honestly don't know how anyone (and it's really only been one person) could make their mind up about this title considering how little about it is known.

Looks pretty sweet to me graphics look pretty crisp for gameplay

I whipped out Killzone for the PS2 about a week ago and it was well ahead of it's time. Very good game. Let's see how well number 2 will go. I will be definetly getting it.

I absolutely love the offline multiplayer on Killzone.

Some of the best stuff ever, great action.

One classic moment was when a mate and I where playing a death match, 20 kill limit, we both got to 20 at exactly the same time and it was a draw. Was quite hilarious.

while i expect the single player to be freakon sweet i'm mainly looking forward to the online....which there has been next to nothing about as of this point.....
looking forward to some sweet maps and intense past paced gun fights

only about 9 months to wait for one of MANY fully payed for pre-orders lol
