Screenshots give me CoD4 de ja vu. I like them though. But, as I've said before, any Killzone game I will NEVER hype before it comes out(Killzone 1 was a massive let down for me.)



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Again, I'm not sure you guys wanna overhype this one. Didn't you learn anything from every other PS3 exclusive that has been released this gen? The latest batch have all underpreformed in either sales or reviews or both, to be frank.

It doesn't matter how great the beta online mode is, if the campaign sucks, critics are gonna flame the hell out of it. Look at Resistance 2.

You gain nothing from hyping this. You actually hurt the game by overhyping it. It now, can not do any better than our expectations, and will probably do worse.

Learn lessons, people. Learn from the mistakes of the past.

Resistance 2 had the same and even more glowing impressions from so-called unbiased gamers. Resistance 2 was developed by an even better developer, was a christmas game, and had even more hype.

It turned out to sell modestly, and "only" be pretty good. The Sony haters have yet to stop laughing.

Why, oh why, do you hype your games up so much? Do Wii or 360 owners do this about all their games? Where are the "best game ever" Halo Wars, or Animal Crossing threads?

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Do you figure that if you just hype every game, eventually you will be right? Then what? Who will be owned then? Nobody. Because the game didn't succeed, it will have simply met expectations.

Just say, "Hope it's good" and move on. Trust me, you guys get over-excited at the drop of a hat. You can't tell how a game will be received, no matter how much you play it. Especially if it's a FPS online mode. There are games out there with really, really great, KZ2 quality online modes, already. Every shooter in the past few months has had a killer online mode. Standards have been set. Just saying the online is fun, and the best shooter ever(whatever) doesn't even guarantee the game an 8/10 against today's other shooters. It's all about the campaign and the content.

Even if the game scores well, it's sales might flop. That's even worse. Sales are what make a game important. There is no worse feeling than to have a good game and it not sell a lick.

Just hold off on your excitement and hype for 2 more months, and go play Resistance 2.

MS and Ninty Fans dont give a crap about Console sales or Reviews,they just enjoy games,now PS Fanfiends and Fans come here making threads about how there game is better and can only be done on PS3,and blue ray and this that and then MS and Nitty fans come and DEFEND there console from these fanfeind attack.



^exactly ^^

If you have nothing good to say then why do you post? WHo are yout o say what to overyhype & what not to overhype??

What is your problem?? I really don't understand what your problem is with PS3 fans hyping games.

Critics FLAMED resistance 2.....so 89 or 88 was it on Gameranking is called "flaming now"

Please spare me the time to tell you how much Wii owners hype as well as 360 owners

Look at The Conduit (we just hada thread on this one today claiming it was AAA n will sell 3million), Alan Wake, Gears 2, Fable 2 (Best RPG ever so calleD), Halo 3 witht eh "finish the fight crap" & many many more

No-one is DOING anything to themselves except for you n your constant blabbering about Ps3 fans being worse than satan.

Oh and about disappointments......which disappointments....what LBP, Resistance 2 (on 2 weeks worth of sales)....oh and MGS4 (now that game bombed didn't it).....remember Uncharted? How it was said it bombed n stuff....we see how that turned out in the end everyone ate crow...

SO please stop making a fool out of yourself in EVERY thread where PS3 fans are hyping games...you say you are unbiased YET you are always the one only saying bad things about PS3 fans....when have you ever said anything against fans of another console....I can;t recall you saying anything like that......all your complaints are AWLAYS directed at PS3 fans...as if they are acting like SATAN

And for gods sake atleast agree to being a fanboy....like most people do instead of hiding behind an arrogant cloth of....."oh I am always right"...."oh I am unbiased"......"oh my posts always make sense".

 

 

 

Calm down guys...

No way.....he bashes PS3 fans in every single thread where there is a hint of positive news for PS3.....you know that very well as well.

In most of his post there are always phrases saying...."PS3 fans don't do this"...."Ps3 fans don't do that" is there too as if advising us in the hope that we will embarass ourselves less....WTH!...

or PS3 fans "tend to"....n so on usually accompanied with stealthy jabs saying only Ps3 fans do such things....

Its truly quite boring to see the same type of post with a wall of writing just full of bashing in every thread....n it gets worse when he claims "its the truth & we know it" n things like that.

 

 

thanks to Darth someone got owned pretty hard

 

 

OT:this game is more of a competition for call of duty than halo or gears.

it looks fantastic.and to think that these shots are from multiplayer beta portion of the game.



 

 

 

@Garnett, Actually i don't give a crap about reviews, I Actually enjoyed Lair.

So that we are clear, you are officially declaring that Killzone 2 needs to be a Halo-killer to be considered a success relative to expectations?

 

no man,It has nothing to do with halo. this game competes with call of duty .



 

 

 

I dont hype games I have not played (besides GT5) but I have played Killzone MP and that too for well over a month now. My attention span is that of a goldfish yet I keep coming back for Killzone 2, something Halo 3, GeOW 2 after a week, COD 4 etc were not about to do.

The MP side is quality, trumps every other shooter I have played and all that is left is SP which I am sure will not disappointment but then again I could honestly not care less with this one, I will buy the game just for MP. THAT is how good the game is, this is coming from someone who before never gave a damn about MP.



Jeez, I can't read all of that.

You guys over-reacted to my post.

All I'm saying is that there are already people saying KZ2 will be the best shooter ever, and that it'll sell great and all this stuff, even on this thread. Read the topic title.

It's fine to be excited, but being over-excited will get you in trouble, because when you're over-excited, you tend to over hype games that couldn't possibly deliver on your high expectations.

You can do that all you want, but it does get quite repetitive when good games become dissapointments simply because you've had two or three guys screaming, "Best game ever" in your ears about them for the last several months.

I know you want to hype the game. It makes you feel good about the prospects of the game, your gaming future, and your console, and I know that it pisses you off when I tell you not to do that.

However, when you hype this, you aren't doing the game, the PS3, or yourself any favors.

Say, "meh, it'll be good" and then when it gets a 10/10 haters will crap their pants. You've overhyped every PS3 exclusive so far in either sales, importance, or quality, but after the lessons from the last few months, I just think it is time for an intervention.

Also, bro, stop muddying up my name with personal insults. Stick with the topic at hand. I don't embarrass myself, and I never shall. Letting an angry PS3 fan change my posting style would be the only thing I can think of that actually would embarrass me. If that happened, it would ruin my integrity, and I can't accept that, so I'm standing by my guns on this one, because I'm right.

 

@makinmusic

 

Yessir. I'll try to diffuse the situation, and not post in this particular topic any more than I have to.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

This thread is amazing, and not in a good way. Most people in here need to chill the hell out and stop pulling out the boo-hoo cards so readily imo.

lol, I actually made a post that I didn't really think much about, played Fallout 3 for a couple of hours and came back to a "Zenfoldor must die" campaign rally.

Apparently I have embrarassed myself and disgraced my name, because I wish people wouldn't overhype exclusives so much. :P
