Forums - Sony Discussion - Killzone 2 - updated impressions

Of course I can't definitively say Bioshock or Killzone 2 will be better than the other without having played both, but I think Killzone 2 will be on the same level as Bioshock. We have seen actual gameplay (a pre-alpha build at that), so it is not like we are just making guesses anymore. As I said before, if it has a very engaging single player campaign AND has a very developed multiplayer mode, it could be better than Bioshock.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Hmmm there is something about Killzone and Sony I never will understand.

I loved Killzone very much but Killzone was one of the big hypest games on the PS2 that did not do what everyone thought SELLING.

So why did Sony make this game a big hype when the first one in fact sucks in many their opinions?






konnichiwa: I think Sony will do what it wants to do, and will just assume or hope it's what the consumers want. And there is a market for everything, just it's not always big.

And I can honestly say that I don't care about this game, but the screenshots do look nice. Very grey and colourless, but nice, particularily the lightning strike. Remember, next Gen is brown according to VGCats.

Amazing look to the game, the look sort of reminds me of Jin-Roh. If the game play is up there in quality with the graphics this might be the one that pushes me over on the PS3. Then again $40 million to make this game it had best rule.

 That is like saying that they shouldn't have remade GTA into 3d because the series was less popular before it was remade than after.  The PS2 could not run an FPS right, which is why Killzone sucked.  Most of the reviewers said they liked what the game had to offer storywise, atmosphere-wise, etc.  It just couldn't be done correctly on the PS2.  Considering this was the most-hyped game on gametrailers before E3, and that it blew everyone at E3 away, I don't think Sony was mistaken in reviving this franchise.

 I don't know more for sure but I thought GTA on PS sold very well (not like the sales on PS2, Xbox or GC) but still sold very great and when I heard the game would be in 3D the hype was not there yet the hype of GTA 3 started when they let us see in game screenshots/trailer of the game.

I am sorry but with Timesplitters 2 they showed that that the PS2 could rund great FPS.
And even older systems could run great FPS like N64 with Golden Eye and Perfect Dark.

True, I forgot about Timesplitters.  The fact remains, however, that advances in graphics and processing power arguably benefit the FPS genre more than any other genre.  Physics in FPS games need a ton of power nowadays to run correctly, as do the graphics to look up to par.  I am just saying that comparing an FPS on the PS2 to an FPS on the PS3 is like comparing apples to oranges.

 Dude whatswith sales on the GC? It never released on that system... According to vgcharts, the game has sold about 2.36million copies vs San andreas that sold over 15 million copies. (This was due to the graphics update easily, gta3 wasnt such a agreat game but sold very well because of the graphics.)Killzone 1 has sold over 2 million copies WW. If killzone 2 delivers there is the possiblities we can see the gta effect take place, jumping from 2 million to 15 million, meaning killzone 2 can become the best selling ps3 game. Anything is possible at this time.

Not really, its like comparing a burned slice of cheese pizza with a normal slice.

An Apple is red and bumpy, an orange is.. orange and spherical.

It's not a hard comparison.
