Forums - Gaming - Why all of a sudden is Killzone a Killer App?

BUT, if FINAL game will LOOK like on THESE screens or even better and will be just another GOOD Quality FPS, you WON`T BUY or TRY this GAME?

If you will, so what is a problem for Killzone 2 to be a Killer App? :)

If the final build looks as good as they claim it will, and the gameplay is good, then yes, I will probably try it. I just don't see any truth as yet in the game's potential to be a "killer app", is all. Of course, that may change. I'll just have to wait and see how it develops.



Hates Nomura.

If good graphics didn't move Uncharted: Drake's Odyssy, don't hold out much hope for a sequel to a game that was infamous for its mediocrity.

Aw, I liked Doom 3; I thought it came out pretty well. The online co-op was a great deal of fun.

 Doom 3 was OK, but it was very technically impressive for its time. However, that technical prowess did not translate into remarkable, or even great, gameplay.

I think No More Heroes looks good. Doesn't mean that it will be.
I thought Red Steel looked good...

This game definitely looks good, not enough to make me buy it though, since I hate dual-analog for FPS games. My only real exceptions were MP and MP2, but those had very, very unconventional control styles.

On topic though, the reason why this game is a "killer app" is very simple. Since original ideas like Lair and Uncharted so far haven't done what the SDF wanted them to, they hope that one similar to Halo can. I never thought Halo was that great, although it definitely had some big influences on future games. This doesn't look ground-breaking, but it could be a 9+.

Also, just FYI, you look like an absolute idiot when you say that a game that hasn't been released is awesome.

Man, you need to lay off the caffeine. He was being perfectly right in his assertion that budget does not mean it will turn out to be a perfect game.

As you increase your budget, what you're guaranteed to do is mostly higher production values and improves your chances of having a good game but it by no means guarantees it. Remember all the hype about graphics of the early PS3 games like Genji? That didn't exactly turn out well did it?

By your logic, all games that has a huge budget with a large amount of developers will be a great game. I'm sure Halo3 had a huge ass budget, so are you agreeing based on your logic that its a great game? Most of the other PS3 people on this thread claims its not... (disclaimer: I have no opinion on halo3).



its a huge app because people who have never played the final version make it so.



xbox 360, ps2 are my consoles 

 end of generation predictions: wii 106 million Xbox 360 59 million PS3 57 million  

 

Just to let you guys know why I dislike Halo.

Xbox fans say that the game is better then any PC FPS on the market including Half-Life 2. I hate the fact they can't face the truth that PC FPSs are better then console FPSs.

Killzone 2 is a completely different game. And it has the best graphics.

It isn't out yet, buddy.

It seems like Sony wants to focus its advertising on future games.  That seems like an odd strategy more than a year into a console's life.



Will see how good KZ2 will be when the beta is released and playable.
The problem with the first KZ was there were no vehicles to drive in single and multi player and you played with COM controlled characters (invincible) which made the game easy.



I'll take the case!!!
