Forums - Sony Discussion - Will Killzone2 fall at the hand of fanboyism?

Not long to go for the moment of truth arrives. Ps3 fanboys await the so called HALO KILLER whilst the 360 fanboys await its failure. Since 2005 fanboys on eitherside have made KZ2 to be more then it and less than it deserves to be:

Pro KZ2:

1) Branding it a halo killer is like shooting yourself in the foot. Not only is it difficult to reach such sw sale no's, but you have to have the media behind you as much as loyal supporters who will buy a new copy.

2) Making the game sound like more than it is- granted there is no fps on a console that produces the atmosphere and chaos like kz2, but why go comparing it to the greatest ip on the 360 which is a tps? Two million 1st day sales is a mammoth of a task, it seems like sony fanboys love to set the bar higher then they can reach!

3) It proves the ps3 is more powerful than the 360- no! Why would you make such a statement knowing the likelihood of it blowing up on your own face? what kz2 does prove is that it is capable of stepping upto those who claimed it has impossible to work on the ps3 and get a good result from it. By creating KZ2, they have made a unique looking fps on a console which blends cinematic set pieces with gameplay to create atmosphere that puts you in what i believe is the best war based fps. The demo was as epic in achieving this feeling as watching the opening to saving private ryan.

 

anti kz2:

1) Excuses! Yes, you read it right, EXCUSES to downgrade the game at every turn. lets have look at the history of excuses:      

           a) Those graphics are or anything close to it is not possible thus the is bs from gg and sony- gg delivers and then the excuses branch off to...

           b) It took 4 years to make, anyone could have done with the budget and time... yes but anyone didnt and it was you who said the game would not be possible!

           c) Graphics are good but created using tricks- errrr who cares how aslong as they deliver. Did anyone complain when they used copy and paste in lotr, when they used the dark in pitch black to save time, money and extra work?

2) Fair enough the graphics are good but the a.i will be crap- now that the a.i lives upto expectations and for some even surpasses, there is another excuse....

3) The controls are horrible- are they? how can you complain about the controls, if like myself you can change to the preferred cod or r2 controls?

4) The character feels heavy and slow- does he? Not used the run button yet? So you complain about most fps being run and gun, yet when a game offers a brilliant blend of tactical realistic warfare with a fusion of fiction, we cry it feels slow! how many soldiers run around crazy in life? The saddest part is, the majority of those who complain about this enjoy the slow and sluggish action of re5!

Will the rants and pants from fanboys from eitherside stop kz2 from being as successful as could or should be? Have sony dug their own grave? I for one loved every moment in KillZone 2. If it can be done the 360, i cant wait for ms to release their i.p. if it is anything like KillZone 2, it will be worth my money.

good for you.not every one is like you though.

 

OT:killzone demo that i palyed is so good that most PS3 owner that like FPS genre will give it a try.



 

 

 

I am sorry but i dont see any ps3 fans calling killzone 2 a halo killer on this site, the only people i have seen use that term is 360 owners. which they are just trying to put words in the ps3 fans mouths so they can laugh at them when the game does not well like 9mil+



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

@kyliedog so i take it you didnt like the cod and r2 controls either, since you can play with the same controls !



i just want to say its the 360 fanboys and the media labeling killzone 2 as the 'halo killer' not the all knowing ps3 fanboys
