Killzone 2 - Preview Thread

Erm, long post fanpages. Reading it i have no idea why you quoted me instead of just typing it out as it seems to have very little relevance to what i said. My entire point was that you make your own mind up, and the reviews are only there to give you an outline of whether you think you'd like it alongside someone elses opinion on it's quality.

MGS4 the only game to get close to Fallout 3 in terms of quality last year fwiw.

Is the guy on the left, is that his real hair or is he wearing some kind of beret?

I would definately mark this game down for the lip synching, I can't stand it when it looks like some kind of 2nd rate Hong Kong Phooeey B movie.

The multiplayer looks awesome though, I am not too bothered about SP, it looks like a brilliant system.

I like this review a lot better.

HEXUS.gaming - Review :: Killzone 2 - PS3 : Page - 1/4

Judging the game on the its own merits.

I don't mind the scores that this game is getting but feel other shooters have been reviewed using a lower standard as a base line.

To me because of the higher price and sonys own lies of the power of the "cell broadband engine" and bly-ray etc. people expect more from the PS3.

Good read mainly focusing on the single player. A lot of faults that the game does have, like any other game do seam to be picked up on more than other games when reading some reviews.

Nothings perfect and Killzone certainly isn't but a few will knock points down simply because of the console it's made for.
Nobody can prove what happens with scores or reviews but just like every other business shady dealings do and will go on.

It doesn't really matter if some sites are biased or not, or if I think they are because all you need to do is look at the average score and read some good written reviews like the one above, to see Killzone is a very good game.

All thats left is for us to try it and see if we think the same.

...Somebody else's opinion on quality?

Yup, I quoted you correctly

...but I left positive feedback in any respect.

Perhaps you would like to lend this view to the "Ad Campaign" comments at ThreeSpeech.com, Zeromajor?

BFN,

Ratinho · 04-02-2009, 12:02 AM

Umm okay. Balanced. :/

MeTrek makes a good point. Once i was going for earlier but the review with it backs it up tbh.

http://g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1914/K...-2-Review.html

Kinda of samey review, doesn't add anything BUT well worth watching for the toe curlingly cringeworthy Iraq war comment.

There's a good bit at 2.26, where the guy is shooting through the sights, and a helghast soldier climbs over something to get to the action, only the soldier is blocked by the sights of the gun and the first thing you see is the helghast's shadow

Love the little touches like these

Stinja · 04-02-2009, 7:00 AM

I like in that vid where he says "Teh Helghast are like... Alien British Nazis", so are we fighting the BNP?

at about 3:27

Also the little South-Park-esque cartoon bits made me laugh "blat - blat - blat -blat"!

1up review, not sure if it's been posted

Killzone 2 Review for the PS3 from 1UP.com

sukhy5 · 04-02-2009, 8:45 AM

Really looking forward to this. Sony have got their badass FPS now.

But a few weeks ago, I thought this was going to knock Half-Life 2 off its perch.

Still waiting...

phairplay · 04-02-2009, 8:52 AM

Watched the gametrailer review last night

i really like that you can go back to any section of a Lv and replay it on the single player campaign. great for the trophy hungry peps.

Dont think gameplay wise this will knock half life 2 off its perch, half life 2 is single player was superb, and used physics to great affect and had the best gun every created . . . The gravity gun

Think killzone 2 is more military kicking ass, still should be great

Watched that, was the guy different from the usual one we hear? He sounded different? Anyway, there was a brilliant sniper headshot when the review started to talk about the guns. I watched those 4 seconds like 10 times, amazing reflexes (or just lucky lol).

not sure first time i've watched one of their reviews

the sniper shot was it that the one where he took a helgast head off coursing him to back flip

he was right in what he said about the detail... you will miss it first time around because you will be so ingrossed in the game play.

chowyunfatt · 04-02-2009, 11:38 AM

PSN nation pod cast, a long one but a good listen, tells you alot about the game.

Playing pokers tounry on pokersstars so might as well have a listen.

MarkyPancake · 04-02-2009, 12:15 PM

I like how we get caught up in the hype for these big releases, like Halo 3, Gears 2, etc, and analyse the reviews and watch and listen to lots of information about the game when none of it actually makes a difference as the majority of us will buy the game regardless of the reviews etc.

Fmrl · 04-02-2009, 12:32 PM

Did I hear right, are there going to be bots available on KZ2 so we can all get a bit of offline multiplayer practice? I think it's a pity that COD4/COD5 never had this feature.

Yep

You call it "offline multiplayer practice", I call it "avoiding online

"
