Okay, I was going through a few of her posts and she has RE5 coming out in September.

When Capcom stated it isn't coming until next year...

We should believe her why?

troubled time ahead for killzone 2. it would not be good fro the ps3 if one of the most anticipated titles turned out to be rubbish. Time will tell.

She has played Killzone 2? How? Even if she did, it must've been an Alpha or even pre-Alpha version. As most games look and play terribly in these early stages, every game is by default mediocre or less sometime in the process...
Surfer Girl must be a standup comedian or someone very, very dumb if he/she expects me/us to buy into this.

I remember E3 and the impressions were generally positive. However, there was that one thing about AI, but who knows where that has gone since then because I read about it not too long after E3.

Previews for LAIR were also generally positive too ...

I'm not making a prediction about Killzone 2, but demos (like movie trailers) are typically very short and designed to show off the best elements of a game without showing any of its flaws; at the same time most journalists are overly optimistic in previews in order to not offend publishers, or fanboys, because (indirectly) their income is based off of keeping these people happy.

Killzone 2's job has been to offer PS3 fans the promise of somthing amazing in the future. Somthing the 360 could not do.

By the time it's come out, the PS3 should have a much stronger installed base, and be competing with the 360. KZ2 will have done its job already. The eye candy's what matters.

Alot of that wasn't my point, you just used it as an excuse to rant against the 360.

I should've phrased it otherwise, cause your perception was a mistake.

Somebody needs to call Guerilla and tell them to cancel the game. A bad review from an anonymous blogger who hasn't played the game could seriously damage sales.

And it's no surprise that Insomniac are pissed. Why would Sony keep pumping money into a company they own instead of one that they don't? It's just crazy.


@ HappySqurriel
It's interesting that people keep saying stuff like this about Lair. You must have a very selective memory, as all the previews I saw slated it for it's graphical glitches and poor controls. In fact, I read a review of an early build of the game that appeared in a UK mag at least 6 months before it was released that was pretty much identical to reviews that appeared after it officially launched (it scored 6, but I can't remember which mag it was). The only people that hyped Lair were Sony fanboys desperate for a killer-app. I do agree with the rest of your comments about previews though.

Once again she posts just a bunch of shit thats common sense.

If you give a relatively small, not terrible talented or experienced developer nearly an unlimited amount of cash, what do you think would happen? Mismanagement of budget is a given, and frankly its the only reasonable way to explain this games enormous budget unless they've literally had several project restarts.

Basically its Dai Katana all over again; lots of extravagant spending thats completely useless along with a terrible work environment that drives people away like the plague.

And the whole insomniac issue is also expected. I've actually wondered how other Sony developers feel about such a mediocre developer being given so much attention from Sony when there are better, older studios who have actually made good games.

This is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. 

For starters, making a game that is "too ambitious" for a system is the mark of a bad developer. Making a game that is too much for a system to handle is something any band of idiots can do; a proper developer knows the limits of a system, and works within those limits. Basically its like making Doom 3 in 1996, and then claiming you're the worlds greatest developer despite the fact that nothing can play it beyond 1fps. 

But thats beside the point since you're base argument is completely wrong, and its a fairly obvious example. Black, an FPS, looks amazing and runs fairly well on the PS2, all while shitloads of stuff is happening on screen. That game is a prime example of what a capable, talented developer can do when understanding the hardware and working within the systems limits. 

Killzone was a technical mess not because of the hardware, but because the developer was careless and pushed the product to market before it finished. There is no real reason why anything attempted in Killzone would be impossible for the PS2, and as far as I know just about everything they attempted was done by other games.

Now with that disproven, lets go back to you're original argument; If GG overextended themselves with KZ1, then what is to say they wont do the same with KZ2?
