Or just trust Dale North. he's a good guy.

Thoughts? You guys are focusing too much on the metascore, and not enough on the substance of the reviews.

Also, plenty of critics liked it and no one so far has hated it. If I do end up getting a PS4 this month, KZ will be one of my games.

What bothers me is that, even without anything resembling a killer app at launch, the PS4 will likely sell gangbusters. I have no problem with the PS4 winning the 8th gen, but I'd like it if Sony earned it.

Welp, that's a spirit breaker. Just gonna have to wait it out until driveclub and infamous

KIllzone has never been an amazing shooter in my mind, with that said I don't consider a 74 a flop. I would say that 60 and below would be flop material. I understand that there were high expectations for the game though.

my most anticipated flop for the PS4!!! :p

Looks like aside from Killzone 2, which is the only entry to have a 90+ score, the rest seem to fall below expectations. With this and the Vita KZ, the IP is now currently a 70's franchise.

Don't mean to knock it per se. From the few reviews and videos I have seen, the game is gorgeous and set pieces are awesome.....but comes off like a sci-fi COD. The story, while improved, isn't close to the depth of ones like Halo. Not to incite a flame war, but since Halo is my favourite IP and I love it more for the lore then gameplay, that is why I make the comparison.

The Killzone series is made for the action Playstation gamer who like competitive multiplayer. True depth of campaign, both in gameplay and lore, have more to be desired, but aren't what the sci-fi FPS playstation gamer want anyway. So no real loss here.

The game looks fantastic, and graphic nuts have that to brag about. Sorry bout the low score, im sure both sides will have their share of missed opportunities.

Far from a flop I would say but I would have guessed around 80 actually.

the 50 from polygon and the 60 from the globenmail really hurt its over all score..

and it seems the globenmail's biggest gripe was that it was to hard for the reviewer, and he got frustrated to easy.

It will sell just fine for a few months because it has the graphic WOW factor and many people preorder it, but it will not have legs as more people buy the console they will go for other options.
