Forums - Sony - Don't claim Killzone 2 will be sub-par without playing it.

What's with all the persecution complex threads lately? The level of paranoia in the community is getting out of hand.

I think people are just getting sick of hearing about KZ2. In all probability, it will be mediocre like the original.

 

 Based on what information? And yeah I'm no fan of the original, but what are you basing that claim on? Actual opinion thus far, or your fanboy dreams?

There are massive amounts of threads claiming that Killzone 2 will be the "greatest gamez evahz! omgwtfbbq!", but for every thread posted there is about 20 posts withing it claiming killzone will be a huge let down with nothing, but dissapoint and mediocre reviews. While people maybe a little over excited, some people are just down right cynical claiming a games going to be junk. Play the game before you judge. Many people got hyped for GTAIV to find out it was nothing special, many of those people who were claiming that one was going to be one of the greatest games (including me) will admit it was a huge let down.

Killzone though will absolutely not be a letdown at least for multiplayer. I was lucky enough to get into the beta, and just playing a mere beta I can say that the game, will not dissapoint no matter how hyped it is. The multiplayer is as solid as a 3 foot wall of solid adamantium. Ask any person who was in the beta they will tell you exactly what I'am saying right now. Quit the nesaying, if you don't wanna get hyped don't, but don't couph up garbage if you havn't played it.

 

Its just another shooter game big deal.

I'm willing to bet money that you don't have a ps3...just a hunch!

 

Here's to hoping he's being sarcastic though..

I can understand people getting excited about a game, and making claims that it will be a good game and sell well but there is a point where excitement becomes unrealistic hype; and unrealistic hype only leads to mocking of the game down the road ...

I won't claim Killzone 2 is sub-par without playing it but some of you have to stop acting like Killzone 2 is the second coming of christ without playing it.

You're comparing Killzone 1 (PS2), to a game in an entire different generation, on far more capable hardware, has a MUCH bigger budget, and now has a team that is more experienced and has released a better product (Killzone: Liberation - PSP) since the original was just average/"mediocre". Also, beta testers/early reviewers have all debunked your claim that it mirrors the original. Even though the OP was a bit jumbled, his message was clear, don't judge something you've yet to play. I cannot, myself, say if it's stellar or not since I have not played it. However, the word of mouth so far is filled with positives and that is helping my already hyped nature. Best to play the game first before you claim what it's going to or not going to be like!

 

Wasn't Haze a game in an entire different generation, released on far more capable hardware, with a bigger budget and a more experienced development team than produced TimeSplitters?

Wasn't Lair a game in an entire different generation, released on far more capable hardware, with a bigger budget and a more experienced development team than produced Starwars Rogue Squadren 2?

I'm not saying Killzone 2 is in any way a similar result to those games, but the factors you listed for ensuring that Killzone 2 would be a better game have certainly not helped many games so far this generation.

I have been told that one must believe in killzone 2 and believers should try to convert people to believe in it. I have been also told that because I am non-believer I must be hater. Well, I can't post the thread or quote that person(If I have understanded correctly its forbidden). Anyway I don't know what Killzone 2 is in the end. Is it a good or bad game, but I can surely understand why people(other than believers) don't like it. I would love to try it tho, because of technical reasons mainly. :)

Are the developers of either Haze or Lair owned by Sony?

Did either of those games have the budget or development time of Killzone 2?

We can sit and compare apples to oranges till we're blue in the face, the fact is Killzone 2 =/= Killzone 1 by any means. You should've read closer to the point and you would've understood it. And did Haze and Lair have that great word of mouth  before they were released as Killzone 2 does? The answer is simple: no. Killzone 2 has beta testers and early reviewers saying the same thing, the game is a masterpiece, hardly the same situation as Haze or Lair. I find it comical that people even compare Lair or Haze to Killzone 2's situation. Shall I say that Alan Wake is gonna suck because, like Too Human, it's taking forever to come out? No, that would be not only unnecessary but wrong as well. Alan Wake =/= Too Human, just Lair/Haze =/= Killzone 2.

Well since World at War is MULTIPLATFORM that isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as Killzone does at least 2-3mill, which it should do that easily, I don't get your claim of sub par sales. Would YOU say that if it was a 360 exclusive, I highly doubt it.

Wouldn't the game's selling potential go up if it were exclusive to 360? I'm just assuming that were talking about a Microsoft marketed first person shooter here, so I don't think it would dissappoint at all. Then again, it may not dissappoint on PS3 either, but that's up to the awesome marketing team over at Sony.
