I regret to say that after playing this game I wanted to go play COD4. I don't know if this is a bad thing but I do know that once I finished the game there was, well nothing much left to do. The storyline provides a thrilling, action packed experience. With many different weapons to choose from and walls to shoot apart. But I found myself in a state of repetitiveness; about half way through the game I noticed that there really wasn't much new or exciting about this game at all. Maybe because I expected much more from it.
Sure there are some boss battles that provide an extra thrill every once and a while and the occasional turret mounting and explosive barrels exploding, but I found I was doing the same thing pretty much all the time, duck pop up and shoot, duck pop up shoot another guy and repeat. The cover system was useless for me; I'd say I used it around 5 times throughout the whole game and usually by accident. It just caused frustration and glitching.
I tried the online component of Killzone 2 and I wasn't impressed one bit, I actually have to say that I enjoyed the skirmish mode better. This is because it's more intense and the Ai friendlies actually do something because it looked like they're more engaged in the battles.
I also have to say I was disappointed that there was no offline co-op campaign. I bought this game and went over to a friend's house; we were both hyping to play it together only to find out that there was no co-op. Very, very disappointing.
But overall I think this is an average FPS and I've definitely seen better on the Playstation 3.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III
Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.
I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
Sounds like you haven't even played the game..
Yeah I gotta side with Canadianguy, did you play five minutes then put it down? Looks like you're just beefing the online just to go against the grain and it's factually false to add.
You have NOT played Killzone 2.
we discovered the one and only honest ps3 user. good review!
Killzone 2 is average at best. The game has absolutely no fun factor, no variety, bad storyline, bad voice-acting, long loading screens and no co-op.
