Forums - Sony Discussion - Something to Ponder... Killzone 2 has a cover system!

Kantor on 16 January 2009

I really do like cover systems. The only game which would be worse for a cover system is CoD4, that's great the way it is.

I do object to one thing though. MGS4 IS NOT A TPS, IT'S STEALTH ACTION!

I think its a pretty cool idea, and the only reason I will rent this overhyped game.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Wait, now 'lean and shoot' is counted as a cover system? Jeez, Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault had that in what, 2001? 2002?



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

I don't see what is so amazing about this cover system. Most games have a crouch button that allows you to do the exact same thing. Can sidestep out of cover to shoot, leaning is hardly different.


Rather pointless feature I find.

This. Besides, a cover system "ties" the player to a wall so getting away is harder (a little). It also makes the game slower (not necessarily a bad thing but I don't want every shooter to be slow).
