Exclusive: Killzone 2 - Gameplay Pt. 2

8 (12 ratings)

Today's blistering footage from the fifth mission of Guerrilla's shooter (spoiler alert!) shows the game has come a long way since the early "Halo-beater " promise of the PS2 original. Of course, as we know, it's not an impossible task to be Better Than Halo around these parts...

"it looks too gray!"

"it looks too Brown!"

"it looks generic!"

"it looks boring"

if only the people complaining about those aspects would post an argument or opinion that wasn't "generic" and "boring"

There is quite a lot of green and red and yellow there, now this string is sounding generic.
Yep most of the colours are there!

Listen to all the Xbox fanboy's, its just another generic shooter its to grey, brown. But if its on Xbox and its generic and brown its the best think since sliced fucking bread. Just go buy a PS3 and have done with it, you know you want to really! Oh and before im called a sony fanboy i'll just let you know I have all the system's.

I'll say what has been said many times before. All those people saying it's dull/brown/generic etc I can guarantee wouldn't be saying it if this were a 360 game.

I really don't get the hate. This looks freekin awesome. Regardless of which format, if this game looks this good ALL games are gonna need to pull there socks up to impress in the future. Therefore everybody wins.

It looks fairly good. It is very brown but I think there is a little more colour in it than Gears.

Er, mazzl - that's what we in the professional space marine business call "camoflage". See, generally, when there's a lot of people shooting large calibre space guns at your face, blending in with walls is rather a good thing.

It all looks pretty intense. More like the original Medal of Honour D Day landings. Wonder how scripted it is.

lulz...2009 and they still use exploding barrels.

If this had been released 2 years ago as a PS3 launch title, it would have looked amazing (but still no where near the E3 2005 render), but in 2009 it only looks average.

LOL

Lots and lots of sour grapes around here... :) If it gives you sorry lot any comfort, it won't sell as much as Gears 1 or 2, let alone any Halo.

@Mchief22

I reckon most of the posters here were just sarcastically anticipating the comments that would appear here, which are the same comments that always surface in a Killzone discussion.

Anyway: this is the best trailer of this game I have seen so far (minus maybe the mounted gun at the end which is indeed a bit generic). The action is intense and the smoke effects are just amazing. I just wish GG would have resisted putting exploding barrels in there (because that's pretty generic too)

Looks noisy, intense, frantic, visceral, fun, exciting, and worth any war-based fps fan's money.

Damn...it's got brown in it, so I shan't/ can't buy it.

"plus i rekon there a wee bit worryed...

are you mental ? If you are the type of person who 'worries' because of a computer game release then you have some serious issues.

Back on topic game looks good, will definately
splash out on a PS3 if it lives up to the billing.

I continue to wonder why people have to feel if someone doesn't like a game on a particular console they must be championing the rival.

When I look at the KZ2 movies, I do not see anything that stands out. Yes the game engine looks great, but the gameplay isn't making me feel like I will be playing anything special.

Looks just like an average fps esp after: Half Life 2, Bioshock, CoD 4, Left4Dead, Far Cry 2, Halo; - not impressed with the graphics too from all the hype this game was given, AI seem to be a bit simple. I think it's more over hyped and just a decent (I that!) shooter at best.

Looks really good. Doesn't look good enough to warrant buying a PS3 as it'd be the only game I played on it and no game is worth £300, but it does look good. I am an xbot through and through.
