Wow. 95 on Metacritic, should stabilise there, like LBP.
Looks like I've won my bet now, eh?

Another review, btw. PS3bloggen.se 10/10: http://www.ps3bloggen.se/spel/recension-killzone-2

First (or last, or somewhere in the middle) paragraph in English:

Killzone 2 is by far the best first person shooter on the PlayStation 3, with unprecedented graphics, impressive physics and a multiplayer experience that deserves to be played. Guerrilla Games have created an unforgettable action adventure with varied gameplay, intelligent AI and imposing enemies. You don't want to miss this game.

Let's look at the anti-KZ2 arguments we've had:

That trailer was faked, the game will never look that good!

Which gradually became:

Guerilla are crappy developers!

Liberation came, that argument lasted for a while along with:

Killzone 1 sucked!

That lasted us a while, then:

That's just a PlayStation magazine! They're biased!

MEGamers came up:

They were moneyhatted! Plus they're review's been taken down! (Before the permitted date of reviews)

They got a bit of hope from that porn magazine,

See, the negative reviews are starting to come in!

And now, we have all these (90+) reviews. Every Metacritic review is 90+. I believe it will become:

Reviews don't matter, it's overrated!

But I could be wrong.

On a different topic, GameSpot? I'm predicting 9.5, but it could well be a 9.

The gameplay looks boring.  The controls probably suck!

So it's fun to shoot.  The AI looks horrible!

Eh, even Lair had a good review or two before the bad ones rolled in.

Added in a couple you forgot.

And we haven't quite gotten to that last one yet.  :P

No, not yet. But if we spread the word, we will bring them to their weakest argument, and eventually they will give up and start hating on whatever game we decide to hype next. I'm guessing inFamous.

Hilarious!



Probably the tastiest part of the Killzone Cocktail is the Multiplayer. Imagine if Call Of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2 had a baby, which they then abandoned and as a result had to learn a few new tricks to survive. That’s what Killzone Multiplayer is like.  

LOL

I saw the playr tv show, it looked incredible, and it was actually really interesting seeing how they made it. Oh yeah, and it looked incredible in every way, pity it was not in HD

Right I'm all good and lathered up with hype now. So quickly, hand over the game ... it's coming out in HOW LONG?!?

/cry

Right, I'm gonna go sleep, wake me up when it's time : )

 

We'll have to see what happens this coming week with the pre-order demo coming out.

 

I usually see demos are for the indecisive, but I might have to make an acception for Killzone 2 Is it just the first level? or will it be like the BattleField bad company demo and give me some online gamplay?

 

Since the demo is only available for those who pre-order the game, I'd say that it's more for those who were already anticipating the game. I mean instead of putting $5 down to try out the demo, I'd think that the people who aren't sure would probably just wait until the demo is made public.

Yeah, which is why I think giving the demo to those that have already decided to buy the game is stupid.
