The big problems with Killzone 1 were the god-awful framerate, sludgy controls and complete lack of any semblance of character. Fix those things and it will be good regardless of the resolution, number of polygons, shaders, or whatever willy-waving measurement you care to produce.

Gameplay Sony, try to work on your frigging GAMEPLAY.

Thanks for the vid Madlax; that footage looks sweet. If nothing else, it's clearly getting a far greater level of polish than the PS2 title (which was one of my main gripes). These screens look very nice too. This one is shaping up well so far, it seems. Will still wait for the reviews though.

I'm quite looking forward to this, judging from that latest clip it's coming along nicely.

On no, how will the PS3 survive without this game. Hmm let me think.

Stupid xbots.

It will probably look very good actually, just play utterly average. But who was ever expecting anything else?

The perception that divides you from him is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can’t afford to believe in your side

This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say the colors must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray

I don't usually give a shit when it comes to moaning about a certain game - whether it is in the visuals department or not - but anybody who think Killzone 2 looks rubbish or think the latest footage from the PlayStation Day is underwhelming; you are either the hardest person in the world to please or you are stuck up your own arse to whatever console you 'support'.

Pathetic really.

my bloody word, so it moves as good as it looks.
I can't tell how well it plays obviously, but it seems solid enough.
Will it be practically load free? (thinking the mega sections you got on Halo 1/2 rather than the short bits of RFOM)
and will the story measure up?

I thought the last Killzone was alright, just overhyped.. this looks like going the same way. No matter what it looks like it'll probably end up as a generic dull shooting game, with people saying "HUUUHHH" really loud, and a token black man. Still here's hoping.

Killzone2 will be the best FPS ever... especially in the graphics department, it's basically one generation ahead of the competition.

Do you honestly believe the garbage you write, are you just trying to get a reaction or are you a child or mental retard who doesnt know any better? Seriously man, you have to be the most irritating and stupid person I've ever corresponded with...

I am alone in the thinking that KZ: Liberation was average, fun but average. And shouldnt be used as a yardstick for measuring any other KZ games though.

Farticus:

'to me, Haze is a must buy and will place somewhere between 8/10 and 10/10.' - Apologie

Does that answer your question? Didn't think so. He's clearly remedial. Or 12. Or both.

PS - Apologie. Did you buy Haze?

I didn't really get into KZ:Liberation either. As I say, looks the part so far, but will it play the part.

People are comparing it to COD4 (in so far as its a scripted shooter)... haven't experienced one of these to my knowledge, but I DO have COD4 on rental now, so will see how this suits me.

@Aloominum_man: I've rented Haze and i'm plesently surprised so far prolly give it a 6/10 myself (which in my eye is worth a play through on rental but not worth buying)

I don't know, something looks off. Ignoring the next gen post apocolyptic grey/brown filter thats in everything these days, there's some thing amiss about the character textures. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the best I can do is say they look like action figures, like skin, clothes and metal all have the same look, like they're overly plasticky.

Oh well, maybe it'll play good?

I thought the first Killzone was terrible but so far this game looks very promising, certainly it's up to scratch visually and not a million miles off that infamous E3 2005 video. Sure it may still turn out to be another middling FPS like Haze but for now I'm liking what I'm seeing, surprising given that I have so little enthusiasm left for FPSs these days, especially after playing the aforementioned Haze!

I think they are using some kind of a toon shader. It certainly looks that way... maybe to get the framerate up? Less textures?

Why is everybody expecting the Helgast to live on a planet with trees and flowers and feilds etc. Their male with guns for petes sake. It's not Halo 3 with it's bright (average) graphics and dodgy bad guys. Whats with the "it looks so linear" rubbish. Bloody xbots, you go on about how great COD4 is and also GOW when in fact their linear as hell. I have a 360 but except the fact that this in the graphics department makes Halo 3 look last gen. Plus lets be honest it won't take much for this game to be better than Halo 3.

lolololololololol have you forgotten already? The PS3 is one generation BEHIND in terms of gaming. Fool.

It doesn't need to be a Halo killer. Halo managed suicide all by itself.

Hope it plays good. They've had enough bloody time with it.

Never really understood why people keep criticising it for being grey, in the first game there was a scene from planet helgast and it it was harsh, cloud covered, poisoned atmosphere planet. How do you propose on a planet like that to put in a colourful landscape?

Personally loving the graphics, they're stylised rather then going for the ultra real look.

Will wait till it comes out and then perhaps buy a PS3. See what the reviews etc. are like. There's a few more good games coming out which I think will make it worth while. own a 360 but do not hate PS3. Just not enough out there to justify me getting one.

Another fucking PS3 related thread that is hijacked by PS3 haters. You can't get a sensible fucking comment in Sony threads these days. PS3 automatically means it must be shite these days which is a shame.

"Could be worse, take a look at Gears 1.5. At least they have made an effort to make Killzone 2 look different to Killzone 1."

See, here's the great thing about having a franchise that doesnt suck shit straight from the ass of Crapulon, ruler of the hell of rubbish programmers. It means that people look at one of your games and think 'oh yeah, I remember Gears, it was ace. think I'll buy the sequel'

People look at KZ2 and think 'boy that sure looks dull and just like every other FPS out there, and incidentally wasnt killzone 1 a sack of steaming clag?'

So..., Gears 2 is Gears 1.5, and this is the quintessence of shooters, and everyone who says otherwise is a PS3 hater ?

Care to imagine if this was a 360 title, what would the opinions be?


edit: and Halo haunts a lot of people, let it go... it's rubish and awfull, and all nasty stuff, ya know... Americans, and kids, and EA, and boycot Ubisoft, and devs jumping ship, vgchartz spreadsheets, and some more stuff.

Has your fanboyism not caused you to implode yet farticus? Lord this discussion is depressing.

For the record, this game looks fantastic graphically, I really hope they get their gameplay up to scratch and improve upon the first. (which was never a bad game, simply rather mediocre and average, which has been twisted by riled fanboys to mean it was shit)

This is a discussion about Killzone 2 on the PS3.

Fuck off with your Gears of War. Not being funny, but go start a thread in the 360 section.

@mastermalik: KZ1's campaign mode would have been mediocre and average if only the game had had a decent autosave/checkpoint system. But since Guerilla didn't manage to do that, forcing you to play for 30+ straight minutes without having a chance to save your progression, then the game fully deserved its dreadful reputation IMO.

On the other hand, the multiplayer was mediocre and average indeed, nothing terrible, and it had bots + splitscreen, which was a welcome addition.

Even if this game turns out to be Linear, so what. So`s 90% of every shooter on the market. This game looks good, it has the eye candy, the only thing I want is a good difficultly level and decent Ai.

I couldn't give a rats ass if it was linear, it will be a decent game to pick, maybe not 10/10 like Halo ( LOL ) or GTA4 but decent.

There's a good preview from Edge here:
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10823&Itemid=2.

Sounds like it has potential, but the jury is still out:


In fact, perfectly effective is the phrase that seems apt to describe all of Killzone 2's features. The game takes no risks, neither in design nor tone. The explosive barrels, the crate-filled warehouse, the vision blur as damage is incurred, scripted sequences of Helghast fast-roping through roof-lights, the lights that blow out when shot at, the brightly colored wireframe boxes that show the locations of mission objectives; they're all proven pieces of FPS and 3D world design, and taken together in the context of this much-vaunted game, it's hard not to come away feeling that Killzone 2 is short on ideas that it can call its own.
