''Yes, Killzone 2 is beautiful, that shouldn't be shocking at this point. Even in its "pre-alpha" state, which is unfinished, glitchy, and has plenty of graphical issues, the game has the best visuals this console generation. When compared to games like Far Cry 2 and Crysis, Killzone 2 stands tall and has amazingly high-resolution textures and character models.
Gameplay is another story. Killzone 2 doesn't feel bad, exactly, but it also doesn't play much better than the original. The controller has a strange layout which feels off, and while the game looks like it should be amazing, shortcomings in pacing and gameplay prevent it from being anything but mediocre.''
Hilarious! Another teenage Xbox fan's blog with the standard "yeah KZ2 looks amazing, but what about teh gameplay' talking points.
This game must absolutely terrify them.
From what I understand of the controls, the shoot button is R1, L2 is the iron sights, to take cover is L1, the run button is L3, and the jump button is "x". (Can I get this confirmed? Sev?)
The control layout doesnt seem too "strange" to me? anyone else think thats a strange layout?
I welcome criticism but some of the words used, such as "mediocre" was over the top - your basically saying the game looks great but plays horribly beyond belief. I read the preview a few times and genuinely got the impression that whoever wrote this game was just looking for faults in it to hype about.
"But I’d like to think that an entire day’s worth of press and media missed out on recording footage of one of the PlayStation 3’s biggest games because I FROZE IT"
What's he trying to say, he kicked and dismissed the game because it wasn't good enough for his hands? Raw. Someone should tell him Gears of War 2 crashed on stage, but that doesn't matter. Why should it? It's in development yet this preview seems to mock the entire game because of how "mediocre" it is.
DAMN YOU NASIM!!!!
On topic this game looks good. Can't wait for full details.
It is a sickening blog posts from diehard Xbox fans scared out of their minds over Killzone 2 that makes you think of what an incredible console generation this would be if there were no 360 this gen.
You don't see Sony/Playstation fans writing blogs, getting jobs at review sites so they can rubbish Nintendo Wii games, you don't see Sony fans making fake sales sites like vgchartz to inflate PS3 sales and undercount Wii sales.
And you don't see Nintendo/Wii fans from doing likewise.
Sure PS3 fans make fun of waggle and the fact that the Wii is essentially another GameCube but they are perfectly happy with Wii owners playing their games and getting high review scores when deserved.
And Wii fans make fun of the high price of the PS3 and that you don't need all that power to have fun playing games. But they are likewise perfectly happy to let PS3 owners enjoy their games and feel no need to get jobs rubbishing PS3 games.
