Gamervision Hands-On Killzone 2

Gamervision:

''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.

And your original name just happened to be "Nasim Detective"? Talk about multiple accounts.

As wrong as he sometimes is, at the very least he's on topic this time.
Something you couldn't say, now could you?

On Topic:
The truth of the matter is you (maybe) froze a playable "piece" of a game. We're not even really sure what stage of development that was from.
Oh, and why is there not a single video cut from before the freeze? Just wondering...

decapitator6190d ago (Edited 6190d ago )

Another Hey look, "Isn't my blog teh awesome !1!!!!1" site. I think people(haters) are just scared that, their worse fears are coming true and that is, Killzone 2 becoming a really good game whiles retaining its beauty through out.

Ahh, whatever Fanboys will be fanboys.

EDIT: The sites names is gamervision ??? Orly ? More like fanboyvision.

xJxdOggyStYLe6190d ago (Edited 6190d ago )

great we got another "haze" and "lair" on our hands
hyped to death by sony fan fellas....and...well...as always a big let down..BUT BUT its still way to early to tell if this is goin to be great or a let down..so we should just leave this alone until its closer launch time..will there be anything other then mgs4 thats good on ps3...ugg...little big planet i hope u come through

C_SoL6190d ago (Edited 6190d ago )

Let em hate......We PS3 owners know what to expect.....

One of the greatest FPS's of all time.

Spydiggity6190d ago

i agree. we ps3 owners know what to expect. and as a ps3 owner i can safely say that i expect it to be a let down. every game gets overhyped by the fanboys and ya'll always say "we know it's going to be amazing" and yet, it rarely ever is.

I look forward to this game too, and i'm willing to wait til we're closer to launch to make my final judgment, but don't act all high n mighty about being a ps3 owner because so far the majority of the games haven't even come close to living up to their hype.

CrazzyMan6190d ago

so, in next 5 months, people will be able by themselves to decide is gameplay great or not.) Well, atleast they will know, do they like multiplayer or not.))

And if people will like it, then KZ2 will sell 10 mln. on PS3, no matter what reviewers will say. =)

sonarus6190d ago

Multiplayer will be awesome but everyone really seems to be hating on this game. Some will say level design is crappy but A.I. is good. Others will say A.I. is crappy but level design is good. Overall i really don't see anything wrong with the level design but the A.I. just seems too easy. I love a game with a challenge but its still only the first level so its too soon to judge. Worst case scenario the game will end up with a couple of 8's and 9's but it will certainly be better than the original

Dino6190d ago

I can't wait to get my hands on the final version.

TheExecutive6191d ago

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?

PooPooPlatter6191d ago

Of course not. This is just another 21 year old Xbox fan trashing Killzone 2 in his blog.

Report this garbage and keep it off this site.

Fishy Fingers6191d ago (Edited 6191d ago )

I imagine most would prefer to have the fire and the iron sights as apposing triggers, ie, R1 & L1. Still this is why they have "controller configuration" in games.

BulletToothtony6191d ago

in Killzone1 you can custumize ALL of your buttons... i believe this has been confirmed as well in the Killzone forums...

you can change any buttons.. you can shoot with L3 if that makes you happy.... so the whole the controller feels weird well.. it's not an issue...

And i think we can all agree that every time we watch a killzone video the gameplay looks pretty good... if watching it looks good i don't know how playing it would be worse.

To me this is just another blogger with nothing else to do than try to trash a game that is not in his console of choice.. i mean even the sites that hate the ps3 are starting to change the way they preview games.. eventually the hate for the ps3 will stop.. it is inevitable.. and will completely stop when it hits around $ 250.

mfwahwah6190d ago

Ooh, Iron sites with L2 and fire with R1, that sounds so crazy but I just picked up my controller to see how it would feel, and it's not all that bad. I can't wait to try that in-game to really know though :D.

Meus Renaissance6191d ago (Edited 6191d ago )

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.

NintendoWTF6191d ago (Edited 6191d ago )

"your basically saying the game looks great but plays horribly beyond belief"

That is the standard Xbox fan Killzone 2 meme that gets posted every single day in every Killzone 2 thread.

I guess it is an attempt to say hey look if I say nice things about the graphics I can go right ahead an rip apart the game and I will still appear balanced.

I don't know why Xbox fans are so damn scared of this game that they feel the need to put so much effort into trying to trash it. It isn't going to stop anyone from enjoying or buying the game.

6191d ago
Jinxstar6191d ago

DAMN YOU NASIM!!!!

On topic this game looks good. Can't wait for full details.

NintendoWTF6191d ago

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.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne250d ago (Edited 250d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro251d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken250d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown251d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72251d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken250d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya250d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast251d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood251d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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.

OtterX480d ago (Edited 480d ago )

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-ro480d ago

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

darthv72479d 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_479d ago

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

Cacabunga479d ago

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

Profchaos479d ago (Edited 479d 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

seanpitt23479d 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!

Iceball2000480d ago

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

Father__Merrin480d ago

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

InUrFoxHole480d ago

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

Marcus Fenix480d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989480d ago

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

1Victor480d ago (Edited 480d 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 😱

Michiel1989480d ago

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

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor784d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar784d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg783d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149783d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138784d ago

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

Shane Kim784d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC784d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138784d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle784d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76784d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

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.

blacktiger783d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca784d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain783d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright783d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
