Australian Gamer Review: Killzone 2

Australian Gamer: "I think everyone remembers the first Killzone. It was a masterpiece of gaming that reminded everyone that just because a title was 'science fiction' doesn't mean it couldn't have depth and scope, with complex characters and... forget it. You don't know and I don't know. Did anyone even play Killzone? I know I didn't and I suspect a lot didn't. It was a very odd choice for such a high profile exclusive sequel. Is Sony that hard up for exclusives that they had to dig up the corpse of Killzone, a title known for nothing if not mediocrity? E3 in 2005 was the first we saw of KZ2, and the PS3 realtime videos made everyone sit up and say WoW!."

Not very Australian when your site isn't .com.au

Fishy Fingers5532d ago

Has there been a single review yet that included multiplayer? Seems rather strange to rush your reviews out and avoid at least 50% of the full package.

Lets be honest the majority of use will spend far more time on MP than SP.

Pixel_Addict5532d ago (Edited 5532d ago )

Off the top of my head; IGN, Game Trailers, and X-Play all have reviewed the multiplayer portion of Killzone 2. The MP was playable for reviews and recently the servers were changed to accommodate more traffic.

Anyway, Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 was reviewed well before its multiplayer was playable to the general public. Not to mention Gears of War 2, though highly praised by reviews, and a broken multiplayer. The reviews failed to mention that at all.

cryymoar5532d ago (Edited 5532d ago )

plenty of other reviewers that could not get a hold of the MP should have either waited, or reviewed the game all over again including the MP. Their scores for the game for sure would improve and would raise the metacritic. I think the experience has drastically improved thanks to Killzone.com. It has made the game feel much more competitive as it tracks EVERYTHING! Even saves those oh-so-awesome battle replays.

Killzone 2 might have just become one of the most competitive games ever created. Thank you GG and Sony.

poo3429472947925532d ago

lol he says "I'd put it (graphically) marginally above even Little Big Planet"

How can you compare graphics of Sackboy to KZ2

He makes it sound like kz2 looks only abit above LBP

DARK WITNESS5532d ago

well why not... graphically Killzone has been compared to every other game under the sun... even games that are not FPS, so why not.

onomix5532d ago (Edited 5532d ago )

Not the title that PS3 fangirls expected it to be. Seriously, you guys have been hyping this game up. It did not deliver. I have played the demo, so my opinion is as much valid as yours PS3 fangirls.

Those who disagree are PS3 fangirls, that can't accept others opinions. Killzone 2 is crap.

God bless and happy gaming

ReTarDedFisHy5532d ago

I take it you believe reviewing half of a game is fair? (No Multiplayer)

stagga5532d ago

It might not be the FPS that crushes all before it but the overwhelming opinion of the review seems to be that it does what it does very well and is a lot of fun. Since when was a game that scored 91% (or come to think of it, above 80%) on Metacritic 'crap'?

peeps5532d ago

why hate a console so much? especially if you own it??

Hmm had a quick look at your comments. ps3fangirls seems to be your phrase, very mature...

Mikerra175532d ago

a 91% is an A- on average, if this game was not overhyped im sure it would have gotten 94-96% but still you must be a xbot fangirl to call this game crap

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-ro42d ago

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

darthv7242d 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_42d ago

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

Cacabunga42d ago

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

Profchaos42d ago (Edited 42d 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

seanpitt2342d 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!

Iceball200042d ago

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

Father__Merrin42d ago

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

InUrFoxHole42d ago

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

Marcus Fenix42d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198942d ago

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

1Victor42d ago (Edited 42d 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 😱

Michiel198942d 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.

1Victor346d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar346d ago

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

jznrpg346d ago

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

badz149345d 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!

Vengeance1138346d 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 Kim346d ago

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

VersusDMC346d 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?

Vengeance1138346d ago

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

solideagle346d 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.

Phoenix76346d 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

REDGUM346d ago

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

thesoftware730346d ago (Edited 346d 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.

blacktiger346d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca346d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal346d ago

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

Imalwaysright346d 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."

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

shinoff2183718d 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

badz149717d 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.
