I've said it before I'll say it again. It is a bog standard shooter and its main selling point seems to be graphics. Graphics don't make a game.

 

I hate to annoy anyone, but this is exactly the situation....props to you kylie

 

i just hope you both have played it.

 

 

I would love to hear you explain was is so amazingly revolutionary about this game compared to various other FPS games already released. Really, do tell.

 

Does it has some form of co-op that like CoD: WaW or R2?

Does it has some amazing destruction physics that beats Battlefield Bad Company?

Does it have some entirely new approach to classes not seen before?

Does the cover system do something amazingly groundbreaking that simply ducking behind cover and side stepping doesn't do?

 

Please tell me what KZ2 does to advance the FPS genre in any way.

 

The only thing it really has going for itself is graphics, as far as gameplay elements are concerned it is behind a bunch of games already released.

 

 

I don't fully understand your disdain for this title.  Windbane wasn't saying that Killzone was revolutionary, he was wondering how you could form a gameplay opinion without playing the game.  As with most pre-release games, we can only make observations based upon the information leaked by the publisher.  Killzone has always been praised/criticized for its visual presentation.  Once the game is released we will be able to answer your questions regarding gameplay and whether or not the game adds anything to the genre.  Unfortunately, we will need to wait until Feb. 26 to begin answering your questions.
