I admit I thought it wud have a hard time beating CoD4's MP but boy does it come through! KZ2 over CoD4 anyday!

QuackPot5530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

After playing the MP for a week, it's so obvious how to win each mode or most modes.

THE SPAWN FLARE.

Whether offence or defence, you need a appropriately positioned spawn point else you are likely to lose the game.

Then it all just becomes a spawn-action-die, spawn-action-die, spawn-action-die etc etc.

This is slowly but surely starting to become tiresome to me.

GG really needs to bring in more variety into the MP gameplay, tactic wise. Larger maps, vehicles, vehicle/weapon points and mandatory individual respawn limits will do wonders. Sheez, you watch how players sh1t themself when they know they can only respawn 3 times.

I'm giving KZ2 another week then I'm back to my beloved Warhawk....and dreaming of Warhawk 2 or MAG or COD:MW2 or OFP2 or Arma2 etc. hint, hint GG. Nearly all have vehicles.

Dimitri5530d ago

How can you go back to that crappy game Warhawk when you own Killzone 2 ??? I cant be bothered to go back to COD4 lol. Warhawk is like a PS2 game.

QuackPot5530d ago

@demetri

hehehe Ps2 game. hehehe.

Yeah, the graphics are nothing compare to KZ2 but its the gameplay not the graphics that is the making of Warhawk.

When you have flown into the enemy main base, barely avoiding air mines, Rpgs and Turrent fire; laid down a lightning bolt to clear up the mines, land and grab the flag, then fight you way out of the base avoiding warhawks, tanks, mines and all sorts of fire arms with air and ground support from your team mates.....then and only then will you understand how truly awesome Warhawk is.

Please oh please Sony....let there be a Warhawk2.

hendersonman5530d ago

I really enjoyed the SP.. but I am not too keen on the MP yet. But I plan on playing it more when I get it back from my co-host.

PXSausage5530d ago

As mentioned on the show, we talked about video games as an art form. What I would like to know is this: Do you guys believe that video games can be art...and why? Also, what game(s) do you believe will really push the media in an artistic way in 2009? Will Heavy Rain bring 2009's biggest innovation of the year?

CannoliCrasher5530d ago

I only played the demo of KZ2 so far and had a bit of trouble with the controls, but I know have the retail version and I hope the controls feel better. I really look forward to trying out the MP too...sounds pretty interesting to me.

GoingPostal475530d ago

I can't say that I've heard your podcast before, but I found it quite enjoyable...keep up the good work! Oh yea, Killzone 2 may be good, but it's not THAT good. :P

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro48d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7248d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_48d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga48d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2348d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200048d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin48d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole48d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix48d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198948d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198948d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

This 2008 emo ‘masterpiece’ makes Spider-Man 2 totally redundant

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a hotly anticipated game, and one that I'm desperate to play, but why wait when you can play Spider-Man Web of Shadows right now?

What's up with all the hate for the Sequel lately.

BehindTheRows263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Typical with Sony sequels. Pay it no mind - the game will release to great reviews, break records, and articles like these will prove their irrelevance once more.

z2g263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

just more of the same for me honestly. it doesn't even look that different than the last game or version. like they upgraded some textures etc, made some new story points and swapped out the characters, but it pretty much just feels like the same game. also - personally speaking, I'm pretty sick of Spiderman, and I definitely have superhero burnout.

thats honestly why im looking forward to starfield so much. not because its an xbox game or whatever reason the internet will tell you is the only reason, its actually because it is just something new. its not superheroes, its not marvel, its not medieval magic stuff, its just straight up space sci-fi proper RPG and that just feels so refreshing imo. There are certainly other ps5 games that I am looking forward to more than SM2. Not hating tho.

ApocalypseShadow263d ago

Yeah. It's because it's an Xbox game. You play this same game about other Sony games or VR. No one is fooled.

Star Field looks no different than what people are doing in No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen. Play those and you'll have basically played Star Field.

Many sequels are going to play similar to the first game. Super hero games are about being super. That's the point. To be that hero kicking some ass.

Extermin8or3_263d ago

We had 2 spiderman games in like the last decade that were worth playing and you are burned out in spiderman? Wtf. Yeah what a load of bullshit.

KyRo263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

I agree with the first part about superhero burnout as great as Spiderman looks but that is happening in and outside of gaming but how can you say you're not looking forward to Spiderman but then in the next paragraph praise Starfield when everything they've shown so far looks like yet another Bethesda 6 or 7 out of 10 game which the media will praise to high heaven, award GOTY, whilst scrutinizing other games for the same problems all Bethesda games have. Baffling

Hypertension140262d ago

@z2g

You must hate every sequel ever made then.
Its crazy to me that this is what it has come down to, it's just shows how amazing playstation exclusives are if thats the best excuse you got.

All of the complaints I've heard from fanboys are also an issue in other games, but it's bad if Sonys games do it? Are Sonys games more special than others according to you guys?

Hating on new games is what gamers do.

ThichQuangDuck264d ago

web of shadows had more unique fun ideas for it to me. spider man 1 and 2 wiil surely be cool though

264d ago
Inverno263d ago

Ultimate is overall better. Web of Shadows had an interesting idea, but the mission structure in the first half made no sense.

Vengeance1138263d ago

No Man's Sky existing makes Starfield totally redundant.

GotGame818262d ago

No Man's Sky didn't have the story Starfield will. It also didn't have the combat both on the ground and in space Starfield does. I am cautiously optimistic about Starfield.

You spewing hate for a game that hasn't released yet, and is being released by one of the best gaming developers out there is funny. It has the potential to be fantastic.

IRetrouk262d ago

Nms had a story at launch, ground combat and ship combat at launch too...

Not saying starfield is gonna be crap, cause I don't believe it will be, but its certainly not doing anything we haven't already seen in other games.

Hypertension140262d ago

@GotGame818

"One of the best developers" funny most people used to hate them and would've made fun of you for making that comment, but suddenly many people act like that always loved them now why is that?
Is it because your favorite company buys them and all is forgiven? I'm seeing the same with Activision, I cant f**king stand fake people like this.
