Forums - Sony - The Official Killzone 2 Thread

Holy mofo, I'm so psyched for Killzone 2, I'm going to have it Preorder Bought.

I can't wait to play this LEGENDARY game that will make people actually look at the Playstation Brand in more ways than 1 again!

@Aj - What's a "real" review, what if there is no "real" review for your standards?



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

PSU.com 9.5/10 review just got taken down... i think we crashed the site... lol i was reading it one minute then it just disappeared...




This reminds me of a thread, several months ago, where MGS4 was called a flop for having "only" a 94 on metacritic.

At the end of that review you posted it say says that there are NO negatives worth mentioning for KZ2...OMFG GOTY Confirmed?

 

Heh, no. It will not be goty from many if any sources. That much I will predict. Even if it ends up being the best game, it's way too early in the year for it to win the awards. A year is a long time for a game to come out and surpass it, too.

Oh, and it has negatives. It's not perfect. I am one who does not believe perfection is required to get the best review score, though.

*shaking head in absolute disbelief*

You'd think people would've learned their lesson the first time when tney claimed that they'll wait for "real reviews". 18/20, 9.6/10 and 92/100 now = disappointment? That has to be the WORST post I've seen in a while!

LOL...it's as if every PS3 exclusive will recieve this ridiculous kind of criticism. Poor inFAMOUS, what kinda crap will be said of IT: "oh it's GTA meets The Force Unleashed and marries Assassin's Creed"? lol...

Not much. It releases in March, right? That means they have a month to downplay it. MGS4 they'd been doing for at least a year, LBP for a good year as well, Killzone 2 for 3 and a half years, they managed to do some good work.

Besides, inFamous has nowhere near the level of hype of the three games I just mentioned. The next game on that scale would be God of War 3, I think. Then we'll get something about it being over-violent, gory porn. We'll see.

On the topic of Game of The Year, I say Killzone 2 will win the majority of "Best Shooter" awards, although ODST and Sea of Dreams (if it makes 2009) will get some of those too.

I can't see it winning too many overall awards. GoW3 would win several if it was out in 2009, I think, same for Alan Wake, perhaps InFamous? Too early to tell.

^Ah yes of course, Dude Raider. The first one was as simple as "Not AAA", hopefully this time it will get 90+ and the haters will have to try a little harder.

Lol, there's also Demon's Souls, but I don't think they've actually heard of that game. Hell, most PS3 fans haven't heard of it.

It releases in Japan in three days

The sarcasm in my post must have not been evident enough by my ? mark

 

No, why would a question mark reveal sarcasm? I thought you were asking him if he had the same opinion, heh.

Kantor could be right that it wins a lot of shooter awards, although that will be hard with CoD: MW2 coming out this year.



Shit, I forgot Modern Warfare 2.

I don't think they like giving awards to sequels to highly award winning games. See: Gears of War 2.

I would say:

Killzone 2: 40%
Modern Warfare 2: 30%
BioShock 2: 15%
Halo 3 ODST: 10%
Other: 5%
