GamePire (German): Killzone 2 Review (Singleplayer)

GamePire writes: "This Shooter is to redefine PS3-Games, but can it justify the Hype?"

Note: Score is only for singleplayer-mode. They weren't able to test the multiplayer part as of now.

GG are hiting F5 for numbers!! So where are they?

table5543d ago

do they just review the single player when its only half of the game. if they did the whole game it would be a 178/100.

gamemaster15543d ago

you think they will add two scores for SP and MP to a score final score over 100%. thats ridiclious.

I think they will give it an average-score of singleplayer and multiplayer when they had the chance to play the multiplayer online. when the multiplayer is as good or even better than die singleplayer, than the score will definitely be around the 90%, maybe a bit higher maybe a bit lower...

table5543d ago

i was just being silly for the sake of it.

itchy185543d ago

maybe if they review the multiplayer and give it a 99, they will add the score of the singleplayer review and the multiplayer review then get the average of those 2 scores. example: 99+89=188, 188/2= 94. so the final review score of the game is 94. but i'm not sure how they do it.

Montrealien5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

And sTewgart knows this because clearly he has been playing it for months online. Man, talk about Blind Faith. I got an advance copy and I can`t even take it online yet but I can tell you for sure that the single player is a great experience, but nothing revolutionay, besides the amazing graphics ofcourse.

Really wish I could take it online...stupid 4002 error code.

table5543d ago

you don't need to have played it to know that the score will go up after the multiplayer, its not like they are gonna take points off of it...

callahan095543d ago

I hate when people don't review the full game. When you pay 60 bucks for this game, you're getting a single-player game AND a multi-player game. Most people are going to put the majority of their time with this game into the multi-player. Therefore it's unfair to judge it based solely on the single-player. It's not reflective of the value of the actual product that people will be spending their money on. We need some STANDARDS for the reviewing process for God's sake!

if u can't review the complete game then what's the point of doing it? FPS are not well known for big story-telling. you have to take note that and wait until you get all the features the game comes with and then u can give your opinion.
Well i really don't care about reviews at this point, i know the game is the best freaking first person shooter i will ever play and im glad i just bought a 1080p sony bravia.
cheers

PS: does anyone know where i can buy the PSN Cards in Canada?

Elven65543d ago

Well the embargo's were set up in such a way that technically everyone was reviewing half the game because of the multiplayer experience.

daomay5543d ago

I'm already picking this shiiit up at midnight.
I was gonna pick up Street Fighter today then I thought
I am going to spent so much time playing killzone2 online with friends
I wont have time for any other game hehe

actas1235543d ago

I am sick of reviewers giving this masterpiece below 9

Random_Gumby5543d ago

YES, and masterpiece is a MASSIVE understatement!

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-ro47d ago

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

darthv7247d 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_47d ago

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

Cacabunga47d ago

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

Profchaos47d ago (Edited 47d 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

seanpitt2347d 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!

Iceball200047d ago

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

Father__Merrin47d ago

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

InUrFoxHole47d ago

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

Marcus Fenix47d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198947d ago

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

1Victor47d ago (Edited 47d 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 😱

Michiel198947d 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.

1Victor351d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar351d ago

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

jznrpg351d ago

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

badz149350d 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!

Vengeance1138351d 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 Kim351d ago

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

VersusDMC351d 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?

Vengeance1138351d ago

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

solideagle351d 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.

Phoenix76351d 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

REDGUM351d ago

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

thesoftware730351d ago (Edited 351d 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.

blacktiger351d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca351d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal351d ago

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

Imalwaysright351d ago

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

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

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."

shinoff2183723d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183723d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149722d ago

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.
