A good review and some good footage too.

Leord5537d ago

Yeah, I am not sure if I would have given it such a low score though...

cryymoar5537d ago

this guy's biggest beef is the gameplay and controls, and obviously, judging by the footage, he, or whoever reviewed the game really suck. Maybe they should practice a bit more, THEN give us a review.

thetamer5537d ago

I think the whole idea of pointing out the issues with the controls, as well as showing how difficult it actually is, is important. I think this demonstrates it well. It's hard not to compare to otehr FPSs as there are some excellent ones out there and most people would have those games and draw comparisons, which is all a reviewer does too. How can you rate a game if there is no benchmark? Other games have set the benchmarks so that newer games can surpass them.

Lfmesquite5537d ago

There's a site called teletext, which just gave Killzone 2 it's third 7/10 score, and it's been added to Metacritic.

I don't see this score from IncGamers added on Metacritic. I wish they would add all scores so the game could have a fair Metacritic average.

Lifendz5537d ago

talk about getting someone that's not good at FPS games to do the review. Oh well, just his opinion. You know a game is amazing when AA is a low score.

Excellent video :D I'm still reeling from the groin shot though...

user94220775537d ago

Agreed, I'm certain this game deserves a 9 and above and nothing less.

omodis4205537d ago

You are talking about a .2 difference from his score.

QuackPot5537d ago

@omodis420

an 8.8 not a 9.0

The overwhelming CONSENSUS amongst reviews is the Killzone 2 is .....clearly....a 9+/10 game.

Only a handful....the clear minority....scored it below 9 - and for the most ridiculous reasons.

Majority Rulz folks. Who gives a fck what the small group of biased fanboyz OPINIONS are.

BTW.

I'm predicting Gamespot has finally grown up and will give a 9.3/10

Dorjan5537d ago

Awesome, I'm glad they have made great AI for this game... something that lacks in most games these days!

GameGambits5537d ago

Is there any spoilers in this before I watch it? :O

GameGambits5537d ago

I ended up watching it, and there's a few times I just had to mute it and look away fast, because yes it does attract spoilers to it.

To add to it, this review was mediocre. The journalist really can't just play THIS game for what it IS. He is constantly comparing it to other shooters, and even going so far as to say the train scene near the end of the game is ripped off of Gears of War 1. He mentions the game is just like Rainbow Six Vegas and COD.

I think game reviewers today need to be exposed to the Men in Black memory erase thing. That way we can erase your idiotic brain of other shooters, so you can just rate this game for what it does and doesn't do on its own merit.

Videogame journalists need to have a big meeting and all agree to just stop doing this,"It doesn't have COD on the box, it fails."

The score is great don't get me wrong, but the way the journalist went about it, and the negatives he mentions are just so overlookable it's near mentally handicapped. The biggest gripes he presents is the story doesn't let you learn much more about the Helghast(what's there to learn about them if you have already been to Killzone.com to read up on the games universe), and that the controls are sluggish. The dingle berry probably played with Alternate 2 control scheme, and just kept wishing it was COD.

Reviewers need to evolve already this crap is getting juvenile to say the least.

Exactly my point ! Err..guess i should of read your post before i posted my other comment below :P

Still..i stand by what i said !

Fyzzu5537d ago

I think comparing the game to others is fairly important, really. The review mentions that it doesn't really do anything new; comparing it to other games that it's borrowing from (as can be seen pretty clearly at some points in the video) gives a decent indication as to who's going to like it. It's a quick and easy way of explaining various mechanics, and I think the video's meant as a companion piece to the written one, too.

As for the backstory thing, what you said is mentioned in the review, too - that there is a big, decent backstory, but it's a shame that it's not explored in the game :) I figured the game would have made more of it rather than expecting you'd read the website from top to bottom, but then, it is a highly hyped game...

Anyway! Good review. Looking forward to the game :)

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

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d 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

seanpitt2346d 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?!

jznrpg350d 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

REDGUM350d 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.

blacktiger350d 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."

shinoff2183722d ago

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

shinoff2183722d 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.
