Show me the negative previews

http://ps3.ign.com/objects/748/748475.html#previews

is it the "How does this game keep getting better?" from E3 last year?
The "Yes it's real" from the year before?

The only remotely negative preview was the 2005 one. The media hyped it up as much as the fans.

Even the "Knifing" stuff was taken out of context and was a positive preview. Every hyped exclusive gets a ton of hate from fanboys, Killzone 2 was not the only one that had detractors. Halo 3 got tons of hate for looking like an original Xbox game, for being Halo 2.5, ect ect. It's not triumphant that a game this big turned out good.

 

Killzone 2 - PS3
Eric Bratcher
Finally, a PS3 game worthy of the "Killzone" name! Just be glad the name isn't "Resistance" or "Gears of War", because then this would totally fall short. It's boring, from the all-gray graphics to the level design (hey, another warehouse!) to the set pieces, which involve such exciting things as blowing up a small bridge or opening a very large door with a hand crank. Yes, it's chaotic like a real war zone, but being a poor man's Call of Duty just isn't going to cut it.
Score: 6

Anyway most previews are always trying to be positive one way or another. If you compare previews to other games, Killzone didn't had that much love.

What??! THERE WAS A NEGATIVE PREVIEW!??! Clearly this is a triumph. Congrats KZ2, having every conceivable advantage on your side, and a metric assload of hype, you've managed to get good reviews. How the hell did you do it?

 

And you're complaining that the previews were positive...but they could've been more positive, I mean there have been previews that were even more glowing and hyped filled. Woe of woes.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

I'd rather they Spend 50Million + Dollars on a New game, instead of some DLC.....

No need to be sarcastic, i did provide a proof. Didn't I. If you compare previews to the games like, gears of war 2, or call of duty 4, it's definietely wasn't glowing.

The past four years have been an interesting ride for Killzone 2 and gaming discussions.

Sorry, but I refuse to admit that a game with every possible advantage, and an assload of hype turning out to get good reviews as a "comeback" or anything else other than what any reasonable person could expect. That's not triumphant, that is not cause for bragging.

I'd say it all stems from 2005. Like every game, it has the people who dislike it, but the 2005 trailer is what makes every new bit of new information or media such an epic battle of arguments.
