Killzone, Shellshock 'Nam and Liberation were all criticized for having linear level design, uninspired gameplay and wonky aiming. I did say that they are different types of games, however, when a developer has a history of these problems across the board it should be taken into account - especially when this is all we have to go on. What I was originally getting at is all this hype for Killzone is, more or less, baseless. Then some people tried to contend that Killzone would have been great if not for its plethora of technical issues, and thats just not true. |
Those are good points and I'm not arguing with you that those concerns are unwarranted, however, with Guerilla Games now being a part of Sony, the chances of this game being actually good is pretty high; doesn't mean that it will indeed be a killer app, but Sony most certainly has a great track-record when it comes to their software from their various studios. Yes, Killzone may not have fared well on the PSP, but so hasn't Metal Gear on the PSP, nor has Resident Evil on the various Gameboys.
I wouldn't say that I'm hyped, more curious if anything. I frequent other forums as well where people quarrel over Killzone: if the PS3 can deliver or if it will turn out to be another dud. But there are people who aren't interested in the PS3, yet, they want to find out more about this game.
And there are a few games across the platforms that people have heard of and seen snippets of and they want to find out more. Another title in particular, "Sadness." The same arguments are being thrown at that title and that developer (Nibris), but mostly because they are new.
In time everything will unravel.
