Videogamer: Killzone 2 Hands-on - The most beautiful grey game we've ever seen

Videogamer writes: "Killzone 2 has been delayed to February 2009. That's perhaps the most shocking news to come out of Sony's recent PlayStation Day in London. Definitely more shocking than, say, the fact that the PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 in Europe. So I headed over to the ridiculously small Killzone 2 booth Sony had erected to get some answers and, hopefully, some hands on time with one of the PS3's most anticipated titles.

The booth was manned not by staff from developer Guerrilla Games, but by SCEE staff, staff who were perfectly knowledgeable about the game but perhaps a little ill-equipped to answer questions on the delay. "It's to do with our publishing schedule," said one. "We saw our line-up for 2008 and thought we could push it back." In other words, Sony doesn't want its two premier shooters, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2, going up against each other and suffering from reduced sales as a result."

console war OVAAAAA

[sonarus]

lol sound like the game is black and white. I can't wait to see an actual video enough with these camcorded video screens.

Gameplay is ultimately where it lies at this point especially on the MP front. I hope guerilla is aware of this and will be exhausting whatever resources they have to giving us better gameplay. From what is shown here today, its not there yet.

[games4fun]

what you mean:

they act like they dont need any extra time at all and the game is all done atm. when in reality they will need the extra dev time to make things work well enough to make the reviewers stfu when they review because they need to make it deliver on every part or reviewers will tear it to pieces because they would probably like it to fail makes it great for them to get hits.

[Fishy Fingers]

You cannot "see" gameplay. You have to play it, thats the point, how it feels.

[sonarus]

In my eyes A.I. seems weaker that it was last time.

You can't see gameplay but in my experience as a gamer, there are certain things i can see that give me clues on weak gameplay and strong gameplay.

Strong gameplay: cover system, realistic weapons, destructible environments

Weak gameplay: terrible A.I.

Tons of things still haven't been added, i am assuming they will be adding a healing animation so you actually inject something into who ever you are healing and not just a pat on the back like haze lol

Its too early to tell on most of these things because the game is about a yr away but i am just putting it out there and hope they are aware of these things

[Ju]

I don't get it. It is still KZ. What did you expect ? Ever played the first one? How do people expect it to be a different game all of a sudden. If I'd wanted CoD4 I'd have bought CoD4. Simple. But, no, I want KZ...well, KZ2. Yes, that's what I want. Pity it'll be so late.

[alexM]

proved

http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/vid...

Nothing comes 5% close to that in terms of intensity and visual fidelity

[gaffyh]

Just managed to see a video of the gameplay and it looks fantastic, I think it looks a little better than COD4, but COD4 is a little better in some ways.

[DomUltra]

So Xbot's does "Gears of War" still look better than Killzone 2? Huh ya dumb twats?

@ Below

Reserve judgements? Are you truly that retarded?

[tordavis]

Huh? Neither of these games are out yet. Reserve judgement until release.

[Adriana Lima]

like unreal tourny on pc on high setting.
unreal engine = plastic

killzone 2 looks better than unreal 3 on pc.

[InYourMom]

I find it funny you have to compare Killzone 2 to a game that came out on the 360 going on 2 years ago. A game that reached critical acclaim and won Game of the Year when it came out. Gears has proven itself, Killzone 2 has not.

Yes, Killzone 2 looks better than Gears of War from what we've seen and for the dev time and budget it better. We will have Gears 2 gameplay footage on friday to make further comparisons.

@2.2: Have you seen the latest tech demo for Unreal? They've added a lot of new features that should improve the visuals significantly. I've never once looked at Gears and thought it looked like plastic. You are basically talking out of your ass because you have no idea what Gears 2 is going to look like and you are trying to pass off your opinion as fact.

[DomUltra]

Lol Gears of War 2, will never ever look as good as Killzone 2, get that through your dumbass thick skull.

Like I said before, and I will say it again.

Fυck off, you are not welcome in our world.

[alexM]

LOL comparing UNREAL 3 GENINEIIE to KZ2 engine????

haha not to mention that DEFECTIVE LOW POWERED garbage box 3FIX ME

wow some XBUTTs are pinning hope tht GEARS2 might look as good as KZ2??????????????

No x360 game will match Uncharted ---not to even mention other realistic games like KZ2

[robbo918]

You want to make a slur about budgets for the cost of this game being developed yet you praise MS for spending $50 million on content that won't even equal a full game???

You want to talk development time...seriously...you want to go there??? Too Human, Alan Wake, it happens on pretty much every system so you can stop beating the dead horse.

I will grant you that Gears 2 will probably look pretty dang good but the budget and dev time slurs ruined your otherwise good comment.

[afghani]

Its me again. An afghan refugee from afghanistan
So i was wandering how killzone 2 looks graphically?
I mean can u compare it with crysis? I am glad to see that sony are now able to utilize the cell better now.

May god continue to bless america and the ps brand and nothing else!

[heyheyhey]

its better that its grey

its a deppressing warzone where a massive war is ensuing for gods sake

not a gentle stroll in the park

[resistance100]

Its the Artisic style of this game which gives it, its amazing atmosphere, much the way the first one did.

[disrupt3r]

watch saving private ryan again and see how many pinks, purples etc. are in it.

looks like kz2 got the color scheme right to me

[solar]

same knock ppl are using against MGS4. its the environment portrayed in the developers artistic design. how hard is that to understand for some ppl?

[Ace Ventura]

THIS LOOKS SWEET MAN!!! And you know they arent showing ANY of the good stuff yet!!

[alexM]

console war OVA

[games4fun]

"it's a solid, functional shooter that ticks all the right boxes, but leaves us feeling a tad under-whelmed in the wow factor." -its from video gamer website even though it sounds word for word like ign site

"from what we've seen, Killzone 2 needs a splash of innovation magic dust if it's to push the boundaries of the FPS genre, something we are desperately hoping Guerrilla manages to achieve between now and February next year." -video gamer website

this is the worst thing i've seen in years first it was ign now its this site pretty much mimmicking ign in their analysis do the review sites hold conferences to decide how to review uniformally or something?

And what the hell is up with innovation magic dust and pushing bounderies for the fps genre? they have the best graphics to date playable and they are complaining, since when was it GG's duty to reinvent the genre?

I better see the exact same criticisms given to gears of war 2 not because i dislike the game (actually cant wait to play that too) but because this is pretty pathetic reasoning at best and if your going to act like this then you better do it for every single game

because at the moment all i see is press trying to find something wrong and unable to admit that the game is the best graphical game out there atm

[Will-UK]

IGN and now Videogamer just seem to be trying to find problems with the game

[jkhan]

The thing is graphics aren't everything. The game looks stunningly beautiful. It looks soo good that people are having troubling blinking there eyes while watching the footage. So when you have such a stunning visual quality in game, you automatically expect a stunning gameplay features set. The game is a pretty solid shooter apart from graphics, the enemy and allies AI is pretty good and the atmosphere it creates is more immersive than anyother game. But at the end of the day people are expecting it to be more than just a awesome looking shooter.

[Marceles]

Yup, leave all the pressure on Sony to be the "innovator". I seriously hate that word this gen...it's used for any game just to find something wrong with it. "It's an unbelievable game but...not innovative. 4.9/10" Gimme a break...Killzone 2 in motion is incredible. Maybe Guerrila should find some old gameplay engine and work it into this game and stamp it innovative like people did when Gears came out, but never heard of Winback or kill.switch

[clintos59]

It seems these sites try and find anything little to complain about, for example, these sites would prolly bring up all this little crap about innovation but tell me where is the innovation in halo 3? I didnt see nothing new in there that is innovative and it still had great scores. Look at the graphics in halo 3, killzone 2 destroys those graphics and yet they wanna say its very grey. Did they ever think it was kind of grey because its a freakin warzone u are in out there on the battlefield, I mean the guy is playing the damn demo and see's missiles and gun fire going off everywhere and planes getting shot down with explosions everywhere so it should be grey from all the grey dust in the damn air, DUH. Sometimes I think huge games like halo 3 and other big titles get reviews because they got payed because I seriously dont see how u can complain over small things like this. Heck GTA4 even has its own problems but did that stop reviewers from giving it a 10? No. Just from seeing this review im glad they delayed the game because if they were to ship it out now, I think these guys and ign would low blow the game off some dumb reasons.

[games4fun]

its kind of annoying seeing a game deliver the graphics it promises especially when it promises the best and then delivers a solid gameplay that apparently rivals cod4 and then i hear some nagging complaints its like listening to that spoiled rich brat get a pony and then say its the wrong color

also as a side note the next time you guys watch gameplay videos look at the characters they have a blue light on their backs i didnt notice the first time because i was taking it all in but it just shows that they are going for war realism not that they cant do color

[nevelo07]

the sad thing is, theses people preveiwing the game knows its the best looking game out but they still gotta have something bitter and negative to say, oh its so gray, ok so let me know when war with aliens is supposed to be bright and colorful and full of bright life halo im looking at you, halo is aimed at kids, its like they are saying the game is grey to take a shot at the ps3s power or something, call of duty with sci fi, let me know when call of duty starts looking this good and im not even gone bring gears into it Note(unreal engine game), the press and media needs to stop bashing the ps3 so much cause if this game was on the 360 they would be eating it up this is the best in-game graphics ever only doable with 512mb of unified memory and the 3 cores, give me a break

[Guitarded]

That's three previews that say beautiful but boring. Gameplay, Guerrilla Games achilles heel. They do have time. Though rarely do games change much after a playable demo is released. The question is, do they have the skill? Delayed again till summer '09? Fall? Will their budget be GTAIV sized? I smell a flop. Can you say Lair? I like the way you say that.

[jkhan]

Mate nobody said that the gameplay is boring, its just that visual are soo good that everything else around it, doesn't feel upto the par. The enemy and allies AI is pretty good, from the videos I have seen & the gameplay feels solid. All they are complaining about that when GG is gonna show a game footage after an year, they expect it to be more than just a solid stunning looking game. They expect it to be a game that revolutionizes the FPS genre, which in terms of immersion and cinematic gameplay it is doing. Same can be said for Call of Duty4, apart from shiny graphics and a solid shooter, it had nothing revolutionary. It had a great multiplayer component but was it revolutionizing nopes, but was Call of Duty4 a very fun game to play, oh hell it was;)

[mustash2003]

....not that I personally was ever interested in that game. Look at Killzone 1. I thnk there vision for the game they were trying to achieve couldn't really be done with PS2 hardware. I don't see it being delayed again....from when was it...2007 it was due out, now 2009. More then enought time I reckon. And I don't remember where I read it or exactly how much the game has cost but its cost more then the average game. I don't see it having cost $100 million.

[alexM]

just because there is nothing on your x360 that could ever match KZ2 it doesnt mean you have to TROLL KZ2 thread

[afghani]

me again..so i am reading some skeptical comments here.
Well of course this game can flop..but i mean sony have invested so much in this game that i think they will do their upper most to improve the gameplay. I mean after all sony have some of the most talented devolopers? what do u think?

hehe..i say it again..may god bless america, the ps brand and nothing else..hehe

best regards
ken kutagari jr

[Ju]

Every time this game is show, there is a crowd lining up to play it. Could this be an indication if this game will be a success of flop ?

[titntin]

People like to read what they want to see.

I read:
"In some respects Killzone 2 could be Call of Duty 4 on an alien planet."

With Graphics like they have, I'm more than happy to take COD4 gameplay, as COD4 is universally recognised as the best FPS to date.

Make a decent campaign and a decent multiplayer with these controls, in these kind of environments, and I'm sold.
I'm not convinced that there's been huge developments in FPS gameplay anyway, and most FPS games are still essentially the original Doom with better weapons!

So as long as they have the cover system working decently I'm happy and don't know what people or these reviewers could have reasonable expected. It's an FPS after all - if you want another genre, go play something else!!

[rhood022]

This seems to be a typical hypocrisy when it comes to PS3 games. Every one of them has to reinvent the wheel and bring something new to the genre otherwise they get marked down in reviews. We saw it happen with many of the earlier releases and it appears the axiom still holds true.

Yet when legacy games like GTA, Mario, Zelda, Halo, Castlevania, etc implement minor changes in later iterations, they are praised and lauded with perfect or near perfect scores. Even COD4, which was in no way revolutionary other than some unique multiplayer aspects, becomes the 'it' game among reviewers.

It is odd why Sony seems to be held to a different standard than either MS or Nintendo.

[DJ]

"Every [PS3 Game] has to reinvent the wheel and bring something new to the genre otherwise they get marked down in reviews."

Yeah, it's a horrible trend, but I understand where it comes from. Sony positioned themselves as having the most powerful console, and plenty of journalists equate power with innovation, which makes very little sense when you look at the DS or Wii. The other problem is that Microsoft negatively influences a lot of our media outlets, so there's an inherent bias against Nintendo and Sony a lot of times.

But the positive outcome of all this bias and hatred is that Sony and their developers actually listen to all of it. I love how they're held to a higher standard, especially after playing Uncharted and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Overall, it really does make PS3 games that much more impressive than titles on other consoles.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I agree with you completely and now people are bashing the colour scheme of the game. If anyone has ever seen "Saving Private Ryan" will know war zones don't have gardens. You don't go into a battle zone saying to your sergeant "SIR, WHERE ARE ALL THE PRETTY DAISIES, LILY PONDS, AND CUTE FLUFFY WHITE RABBITS AT, SIR." All we have seen were battle zones or places destroyed by war.

In the last Killzone there was a snow level but for the most part everything was dead. It's like expecting to see cars on an alien planet. Whether there will be more colour will most likely determine where the gun fights are at.

Saving Private Ryan Trailer HTML: http://pop.youtube.com/watc...

[gambare]

a warzone is not a colorful place, a warzone is a killing zone, grey, brown or even lifeless stained with violence, killzone is a good hint of that, Just look a gears of wars, it's grey too, just the body armors got some lights

[DJ]

The gameplay looks rock solid, the graphics look like CG in realtime, the physics are amazing, etc, etc. But I do hope that the game's multiplayer is just as innovative as the rumors suggest, and that there's just as much environment variation as the first title. So far, Guerilla has only shown us the first two levels of the game, which is why we can't make immediate assumptions that the entire game will take place in industrial areas.

[ceedubya9]

was a good idea. Not sure about the actual reason for it, but I'm sure that many gamer's wallets will be happy for it, especially if you own multiple consoles.

[afghani]

This comment is to my christen american brother rhood022
U are completly right buddy. Everybody holds sony to a diffirent standard than the other two. But heck..sony have reached unprecedented achiements whith their previous consoles. So i think thats way. And the ps2 was infact the mother of all consoles and gave nintendo and microsoft the mother of all defeats in the last gen..hehe

must say i couldn enjoy the ps1 in afghanistan..couse the taliban banned video games u see.
but then i moved to the states and here i have found my compassion for video games..hehe..i drive taxy..

may god bless america, the ps brand and nothing else!

[Kleptic]

well its not that grey...

you know, the concrete is grey...and there is a lot of concrete in the level...oh and the metal hangar is grey too...I guess that makes sense, being that its mostly made out of sheet metal and piping...

but what about all 4 explosions that keep happening on screen at once...with a gorgeous plume of rolling fire that comes out of them?...and did the guy not look at the sky?...some of the most impressive HDR to date, with a whole range of near sunset colors from the sun (or whatever star(s) it is on Helghan)...

[DomUltra]

Really, here it is the best console graphics to date, and most of the websites are putting a negative spin on it, what is up there asses, seriously?

[OLD MAN]

i really think you deserved 50 agrees for that, but i agreed with you, mad pc fans wont agree with that truth you just said, cause their crysis is burnt out.

[karlostomy]

Here are some quotes from the article.
Make of them what you will.
How many disagrees will i get for merely quoting the article?)

1.
"Killzone 2 has been delayed to February 2009. That's perhaps the most shocking news to come out of Sony's recent PlayStation Day in London."

2.
"From what we can gleam(sic) from the 20 minutes or so it took to complete around five objectives from the start of the game's second mission, it's a solid, functional shooter that ticks all the right boxes, but leaves us feeling a tad under-whelmed in the wow factor."

3.
"Having spent our load on Killzone 2 we were left feeling encouraged and slightly under-whelmed all at the same time."

4.
"..But it does mean that, from what we've seen, Killzone 2 needs a splash of innovation magic dust if it's to push the boundaries of the FPS genre, something we are desperately hoping Guerrilla manages to achieve between now and February next year."

Just the article people. Don't shoot the messenger.

[DJ]

Yeah, the author may have well just said "I hate how good this game is."

[felidae]

dude .. your avatar looks s**t, sorry.

[Guitarded]

They have not delivered anything but mediocre exclusives so far, and this looks to be more of the same. Uncharted, beautiful with mediocre gameplay is the best you got. Sony are held to the same standard and they fail constantly(see;GTAIV 640p Oh I guess Rock* are stupid and lazy huh). At least you have Metal Gear. So how much does it cost in time/money to make a good PS3 game? Looking at you GT5 and Metal Gear. Continue crying and beating your collective chests about the bias in media.

[games4fun]

i'm not going to stand here and let you say uncharted has mediocre gameplay how full of it can you possibly be? the cover system and ai beat out gears hands down the only reason gears is better is because it has online mode as a saving grace.

and beating my chest, i'm sorry but when a game delivers playable graphics that outperform anything on the horizon currently and is said to rival the controls of cod4 and it gets docked for not having an innovation magic dust you think that is in anywhere fair

this is the last time i'll ever reply to you i cannot listen to someone who would insult uncharted the way you have, you also show that you obviously have never played uncharted as well because imo its the best game i've played in a while and far more challenging than the original gears in every way

try beating uncharted in crushing difficulty where 1-2 shots hitting you will kill you and if you want to get past later levels you are required to get headshot anywhere between 3-5 people in a row or else you are dead

also to let you know i've only ignored 1 user on this site for the past year i hope you feel honored in that pathetic sort of way

[iceman2885]

The Sony exclusives have been just pretty mediocre so far. But don't try to tell me that they aren't being held to a higher standard.

Halo 3
Gamespot: 9.5/10
IGN: 9.5/10
GameSpy: 5/5
VideoGamer.com: 10/10

All Halo 3 did was repackage Halo 2 with better graphics and a new storyline. The gameplay is exactly the same except that tweaked the weapons a bit.
Yet here we are, reading an article about how the games lighting was grey and the gamplay was underwhelmeing because there is nothing innovative, just another FPS rehash...WTF, how come i didn't hear any of such talk about Halo 3 being Halo 2 with better graphic and a different story. Heck...it actually got praised for being similar to Halo 2.

[mightydog01]

got the update for ps3 and I notice something different about the rec gfx they are sharp now big difference.so the patch could have been a mix up in program which efected rec and freezing and it dont look lik 640p its more like 720p now.

[JokesOnYou]

we heard from sony loyalists last year, its the medias fault, its bias, it happened when Motorstorm reviews said it lacked depth because of no split screen and a limited number of tracks, it happened when Lair was broken due to the annoying controls, when HS was short and gameplay mechanics were said to need work, when Warhawk was criticized because singleplayer was cut, etc etc...and thats pretty much how sonyfaithful react at the hint of any criticism for a ps3 exclusive.= Yep, sony loyalists swore all those Reviews were dead wrong, those games didn't have those problems, its a conspiracy!...REALITY was that all the those things turned out to be TRUE. ha ha yet I read n4g months later and the same sonyfaithful come out the closet saying stuff like "well I dont care that Ninja Theory's next game will be multiplat, I was somewhat dissapointed with HS, they need to work on gameplay mechanics." Now today Hirai admits "ps3 lineup was underwhelming" ha ha those are NOT my words, blame sony. I have the memory of an elephant, no BS, anybody who is new around here can read their history, and those the sony loyalist who've been here for awhile know deep down its true. ha ha DJ is a great example, I often wonder if he actually does believe in the false reality he dreams up.

JOY

[fenderputty]

had anything to do with this game? I don't care enough to report you but, SPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM. Maybe someone else will.

I mean seriously ... you act like there weren't equally big idiots on the other side of the fence.

Fact is, this game is going to be the best looking thing on a console EVER. If it plays as well as COD4 (which did nothing innovative at all in the FPS genre), it's going to be the best and most engrossing FPS ever. People never thought it would look like the CGI trailer of 05 but, it does.

Get over it. You sound like a little whining girl.

[JokesOnYou]

NO spam, I made an accurate observation based off the comments contained in this thread vs history on this site....and once again you only further prove my point, Everytime a ps3 game gets criticized, the sony faithful go screaming its nonsense, look at old threads/comments about Lair or any ps3 exclusive for that matter, same old tired battle cry over and over again, like this:

"Fact is, this game is going to be the best looking thing on a console EVER."

-Thats your opinion however based on the vids I saw (vid quality is terrible btw) I think it looks good but definitely is too grey, come on you guys know its true, I mean I know its suppose to be a ruined city with no sun or whatever but damm just shades of grey?...ha ha you guys are the same people who criticized Gears, remember?, lmfao and who knows if it will be downgraded at all like MGS4 was once they do decide to actually release the game?, the gameplay is suspect, its generic -wheres the new features? but hey its 9 months away NOW, so its got time right?

Now maybe this game will be different, maybe *this time the SONY SONG will be a BIG HIT, but my point is, you can't really believe sony or sony loyalists at *this point....us NORMAL GAMERS have to be cautious and WAIT, WAIT, WAIT until sony actually delivers before we SING their praises, *this time. Is that to hard to understand?..or maybe I should just instantly believe the hype *this time?

JOY

[Booyah]

Are u a gamer or a hater ? As far as I know, Xbox fanboys were as bad as the "sony loyalist" you point.

[fenderputty]

This should be about a game called Killzone 2. Commenting about comments in this thread and previous posts a years ago is not staying on topic. Quit acting all high an mighty.

You call yourself a normal gamer and act like a fanboy. /rolls eyes

[red_ring_of_death]

lagbox has no games 2 delayed
hahahahahahahaha
suckerssss

[InYourMom]

Are you a farkin retard? You represent your console well.

[TheMART]

"But it also looks very grey. Very, very grey indeed."

So where are those PS3 fanboys that said Gears had a lack of colour?
This seems to be about just a black/white game compared to Gears

[fenderputty]

Xbox fanboys who said the 05 CGI trailer could not and, would not be matched? Maybe they can't say anything cause they have their foot stuck in their mouths.

While I think the criticism about color in Gears is ridiculous, coming into this thread and doing nothing but trying to flame people isn't any better. Check yourself out in a mirror lately?

[alexM]

why are u posting in this ZONE

You worst xbox fanboy .

just get the hell outta here

[fopums]

the title says its the most beautiful grey game they have ever seen, I argue its the most beuatiful game EVER.

crisp visuals + human lifelike animations + destroyed enviroments = very purty game

[599 US Dollars]

Greyzone 2 lol.

[PSMonster21]

You could say the same for GraysofWar2

[PoSTedUP]

its lookin good weather you like it or not!

[Ri0tSquad]

I can't wait to play the public beta.

[TheExecutive]

the gaming press is full of sh*t. What a bunch of idiots. Hold Sony over the flames for not being innovative but give a 10/10 to games like Mario and Halo.

What a bunch of hypocrites. I am sorry but when you liken the gameplay to COD4 and Gears of War with the best graphics you have seen to date and then complain about the lack of innovation you lose my respect.

[fenderputty]

Gears getting good reviews simply because of the graphics. It didn't matter if there were flaws because "THE GRAPHICS ROXOR!"

No one spoke of anything technically flawed in this game. The only criticism is that's its not revolutionary. Funny to since it's implementing a cover system not used in FPS often.

[vloeistof]

this will be the most bautifull game on consels.

till we see god of war 3 hahaahahaah( and thats a ps3 only titel 2 )

[DFresh]

Fair enough Sony is smart to keep these 2 games from competing with each other.
I'm fine gaming out on Resistance 2 until Killzone 2 comes out next year.
Also there's Project Offset coming out exclusively on the PC also next year which is a must have.
Haze another great shooter to f*** with while I wait for Resistance 2 to drop.
At this point Sony can't be stopped anymore Microsoft had their chance and now it's over.

[smurfie4]

Im fed up with critics dissing games because it doesnt have every color of the rainbow in it. Im pretty sure those mortar shells pounding the shat out of the ground make good fertilizer for daffodils, and roses. This is war, and its meant to be bleak grim, and gutter. With that said you do see the glare of sunshine saturating the level. Just dont expect a baskin robbins assortment of colors. Blood, smoke, explosions, gunfire, screams, and profanity. Sounds like something i can dig.

[eyeDEVOUR]

well said...

[jones smokey]

to much comments on a.i being bad.............rember this is WORK IN PROGESS WITH 9 MONTHS TO GO...!! what does ur genaral knowladge tell u !!!!

[gdguide]

LOL.

Mass Effect gets awesome reviews, but the combat sucked and had visual problems up the butt, Gears was soooo predictable and innovated in copying a PS2 cover system, Halo 3 was Halo 1, Halo 2. Give me a break. The only game that has broken out of a genre is probably Bioshock. The rest of these high rated 360 games had the issues that are all of a sudden important only to Killzone 2.

[yanikins111]

Colour I'll go play mario. Personally i like the direction KZ2 is taking. We are not fighting in a brightly lit neon world. We are fighting in a war zone with bullets and blown up buildings. It would be stupid to wear bright green and pink body armour... Imo.

[Booyah]
