Why the hype about Killzone 2?

[Kantor]

Okay, here goes...

Killzone Liberation was technically not a sequel, it was a portable game. A supplement, I suppose. It's like Size Matters to Ratchet and Clank or Portable Ops to MGS. I'm not saying KZ2 can't be a good game, I'm just wondering why so many people are saying it will be Game of the year, best game on ps3, best graphics of any game that will be made this gen (seriously?)

Of course this happens with every PS3 game, sadly. Remember when people were saying Haze would be a Halo killer?

(Before I get 100 angry posts about comparing KZ2 to Haze, I am not. I'm just saying that a game that looks like it could be amazing might not be (The Force Unleashed for example))

But at the moment, it seems to be Killzone 2 above all else, followed by Resistance 2, followed by LBP.

Also, good graphics do not make a good game (Lair- that dragon was impossible to control...). But they are certainly important. COD4 and Gears of War were so good because they had incredible graphics and great gameplay.

There are different expectations for PSP and PS3 games. The PSP is infinitely more limiting than the PS2, so hopefully they can adjust well and can adjust over the gap from PS2 to PS3 as well as PS2 to PSP. Only time will tell.

And yes, Red Alert was better than Red Alert 2. Just in my opinion. Hopefully Red Alert 3 will be even better. And it'll be on consoles (which sadly is unlikely to work)
