E3's Biggest Games Reviewed Now: Killzone 2, Gears 2 & More (GamesRadar)

GamesRadar writes:
"You know the problem with E3? You have to wait months before you find out if a game that looked great in July is going to kick ass or blow goats when it finally arrives in November. And it it sucks, you feel deflated. If only you could read, right here and right now, which games are really worth eagerly anticipating and which you should just start fitting for cement shoes right now. Wouldn't that make the world a better place?

Well congratulations Johnny, because now you can! After years of exposure to inhuman levels of liquor, cigarette smoke, and E3 cafeteria food, we've actually developed the ability to see into the future. Here, for the very first time, are the exclusive first reviews for all of the games you're most excited about this very E3."

Killzone 2: "It's boring, from the all-gray graphics to the level design (hey, another warehouse!) to the set pieces, which involve such exciting things as blowing up a small bridge or opening a very large door with a hand crank"

Speaks volumes about the PS3s next MEGA flop, and how much did it cost to make again.....im sure it was the same amount it would cost to keep FF13 exclusive LOL!

Gamefan125763d ago

wow you are a fanboy.... this is a review based on few minutes of play on a demo in one level. ya nice

Aquanox5763d ago

They might be a bit too harsh on Killzone 2. However, multiple reports from E3 indicate that while pretty, the gameplay itself is way too predictable (aka uninspired) and that they need to work hard on it.

Please Guerrilla, don't dissapoint Sony fans. You're basically the biggest bet for the next year.

Jandre025763d ago

LOL. The multiplayer alone makes this game absolutely insane. The gray graphics? Thats one level you idiots.

Even still, if its all gray, ITS A WARZONE! There are no forest or anything like that, but if "beautiful colors" is what you want in your shooting games, then maybe, just maybe, you are a tad bit gay.

Me personally, having multiplayer graphics that top every other console games single player graphics, smooth framerate, and physics/lighting thats unparalleled in any game, thats enough for me.

Killzone 2 is looking amazing. Hate on it all you want about the "colors", but I like the gritty gloomy art direction. Whats funny is you never hear anyone say anything about Gears having the same environment.

San anto5762d ago

God daem i hate the unreal engine, it looks fcking pathetic i mean ffs since when was the world all sparkly glossy and shiney, jesus stop trying to mask textures with the pathetic attempt at lighting.

And as far the Killzone2 review... Buuhahahuhwauaha.

They have been playing the same level for a while now. Read the IGN pre-view to confirm this. The level @ E3 is the same level, just with a peek of it futher down the line. I guess 5 minutes into the game you should be into a whole other level/map/world by then.

Milky5763d ago

RIDICULOUS IDEA TO BASE A REVIEW OFF 5 MINUTES OF RANDOM GAMEPLAY.

herbaldoctor75579d ago

these guys suck get a new job (gamesradar)

Wildarmsjecht5763d ago (Edited 5763d ago )

LMAO..basing a review off a title you play for 5 minutes, in one particular level that has been used since the beginning is smart /sarcasm.

I don't remember people complaining about always seeing the middle east in MGS4 or playing it at various demo kiosks. And what did the scores there show, Hmmmm???

If going 5 minutes in one play session should equal a new level, the game should have 100 just to keep me satisfied. Silly Gamesradar...

ChampIDC5763d ago

It does help to read the little disclaimer at the bottom. It was meant to give a little insight into the games and for fun. FUN being the key word here.

crck5763d ago

Giving out review scores on preview builds is an irresponsible stunt. That brings into question gamesradar's already questionable reputation.

TheExecutive5763d ago

give me a break lol. Gamesradar is retarded. Eric if by any chance you read these forums please do us a favor and start flipping burgers.

pp5763d ago

Kill zone 2 may as well join all the other flops on ps3

JVIDICAN5763d ago

this list is bs did you see the banjo score?

Stryfeno15763d ago

But did you see Gears 2 score?

Jandre025763d ago

And its still almost a year off.

Heres something thats funny, lol

The only non-bundled exclusive games on the 360 that have broken 2,000,000 copies are
Gears
Halo 3

Lol. Killzone 2 is guaranteed to sell at least 3 million WW within 6 months.

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-ro49d ago

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

darthv7249d 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_49d ago

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

Cacabunga49d ago

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

Profchaos49d ago (Edited 49d 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

seanpitt2349d 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!

Iceball200049d ago

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

Father__Merrin49d ago

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

InUrFoxHole49d ago

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

Marcus Fenix49d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198949d ago

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

1Victor49d ago (Edited 49d 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 😱

Michiel198949d 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.

1Victor353d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar353d ago

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

jznrpg353d ago

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

badz149352d 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!

Vengeance1138353d 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 Kim353d ago

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

VersusDMC353d 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?

Vengeance1138353d ago

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

solideagle353d 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.

Phoenix76353d 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

REDGUM353d ago

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

thesoftware730353d ago (Edited 353d 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.

blacktiger353d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca353d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal353d ago

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

Imalwaysright353d ago

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

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares675d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies674d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638674d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72675d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337675d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever674d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad675d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds675d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
