As for your comment on Killzone 2, its apparent from previews that the game has a 99.9% chance of being better then all console FPSs released to date.


Geez, that's a pretty big call to make. From a franchise that hasn't established itself as a system seller (let alone a consistently good one), I doubt it will be. Have you actually played the game yet? No? you've only seen video's of other people playing it? and those other people are either sony or the studio that makes it? really, so you must have great insight and are seeing something else that no one else is seeing to make a call like that. What you should have said is: "I am desperately hoping that KZ2 will at least be a dot on the radar of console FPSs"

@OP: Sony's lineup is strong, it's not an all-conquering lineup (because they seem to give a lot of kudos to their new IP's and immediately dismiss the 360's) but it is a strong one none the less. Time will tell if it resonates with the gaming populace, but since it's only the begining of 08 it's too early to judge whether or not their lineup is truly great or not.


I went to E3 does that count? And Killzone on the PSP was good, played it on my friends PSP for like 3 hours.


I was not aware that they allowed for public hands-on time with KZ2 at E3 last year (EDIT: forgot it's 08 already) , wait, it was only a game-play trailer? Like I said, you have yet to play the real thing, yes you can comment about the graphic, thats fine, but the BEST FPS is not just about pretty graphics. More important is how the first person controls handle, which no one knows yet because no one has played it. Then there's also the issue with AI, what's the point of claiming a game to be the best FPS if the AI isn't clever enough to react to you shooting it. Another aspect of claiming a title to be the best is if it brings something different to the table, you cannot legimately claim that there is anything new in KZ2.

About Killzone: Liberation, it was a good game, but one game doesn't make a quality franchise, that's never been the case in the history of gaming. Take for example God of War 2, so many people were sceptical about it before it's release, because they thought the developer would slump after the awesome-ness that was the first game. Then there's also the issue with history, of the 2 two killzone games released so far, the good one was not the FPS.

I'm not telling you to not be psyched for KZ2, but you have to put it into perspective, if you over hype it, it'll turn into another Heavenly Sword fiasco (a decent/good game that is portrayed as a crap game because it didn't live up to expectation/"hype")
