Killzone 2 demo is all like "advance>cover>attack>repeat"

Yesterday the demo for the highly anticipated Killzone 2 hit the PlayStation Network and Sony fanboys everywhere were suddenly glued in front of their television screens, SIXAXIS in hand. With all the hype surrounding this title you've gotta' wonder, is this game really all it's cracked up to be?

[CrippleH]

All games follow a pattern.

This is just stupid.

[Genesis5]

Oh you mean like you would have to do in a real war. Soldiers don't just run around on the battle field shooting from the hip.

[itagaki]

I agree with this guy on many points. I enjoyed the game, but of what I have seen, it is over hyped. Some of the textures was terrible and the voice acting is also terrible.

Gameplay, I love the cover system! Controls aren't bad at all and I was able to pick it up rather quick, however, running and turning is a b!tch.

Other than the graphics, it evoked the same feelings as when I was playing Halo 3 meaning I wasn't completely blown away. Game is 9/10 due to the graphics.

[JsonHenry]

Lol, kinda like another "great" game Gears of War? Every game has a gameplay mechanic. You either like it or you don't.

[Chris399]

You want puzzles/ adventure? Play a different genre.

FPS = "Find People to Shoot."

Rinse/ repeat.

[MechaGear]

I mean he already said it. "Tired gameplay formula, or maybe I’m just sick of FPS games. advance>cover>attack> repeat" Thats the problem of all shooters, no matter what clever "innovation" they try to bring in. Love it or leave it.

[Sitdown]

Hahaha, some of the dead ones did. When you said shooting from the hip...it reminded me of Tropic Thunder....the scene when Downy Jr was running and threw his arm behind his back and shot his gun...hahha...great stuff.

[The Dark Knight]

I havent had this much fun in a game since uncharted.

and this demo is like 10 minutes, thats a good friggen sign if you ask me

[Marceles]

I bet if Killzone was on the 360, the title would be:

Killzone 2 demo is all like "innovative>bigger> better>badass>ps3 sucks"

Can any game at all on PS3 get any props for being a good game? Either it's a bad game, or it's a good game that doesn't innovate...which makes it horrible to the gaming media

[TheTwelve]

Dude decides to get tired of FPS games JUST when Killzone comes out. Right. H8er.

12

[callahan09]

This is the exact same formula that everyone praises to the heavens in the Gears of War games. What's the problem, again? Complaining about the "testosterone-induced dialogue" with all the profanity and stuff... Sounds like the PS3's Gears of War to me.

But he goes on and says:

"a lot of the textures look like straight-up garbage. There’s a part early on in the game where you and your group pass a small flowing stream and I swear to God I’ve seen better looking water in N64 games."

Hahaha. Right. This is an example of being too harsh on the pretty game. There are no hideous textures in this demo. I played it myself, and the vast majority of the textures are gorgeous and highly detailed, while some, like the metal texture on the stairs after you go up the elevator, aren't as highly detailed or as high resolution, but they're by no means hideous, and you'll only even notice that they don't have the same height of realism as the majority of the textures if you stand still in place and zoom your rifle scope in on the texture, LOOKING for inconsistencies in texture. And water that could be done on the N64? Please. That's just a ridiculous thing to say.

"You’d think that the soldier you’re controlling would be well-trained in the art of pick-up-the-f*ckin’-pace"

Yeah, this is another area where the game is just like Gears. You move kind of slowly, but, get this, THERE IS A RUN BUTTON!

"sick of games that force you to fight waves of enemy A.I. in an advance>cover>attack> repeat fashion"

Every last complaint he has also applies to Gears 1 & 2 (both of 'em, yeah), so I suppose he isn't a fan of this type of game.

[Tarasque]

All games have the core gameplay mechanic and killzone is know different. But the demo left a bad taste in my mouth regardless.

/\/\/\/\/\
To the guy above seriously, you really think the textures are detailed? There is no depth to the textures at all they are just flat low detailed textures. I have let 2 people play it now and they have both said the same exact things, controls suck and the textures suck. But the lighting and atmosphere is great, i guess that's a trade off.

[monkpunk1]

because all sony playstation players that downloaded the demo are "fanboys" tits to the author

[Sevir04]

Tarsque the open zone is -----> way, if this game left a bad taste in your mouth then so should gears and uncharted, i'm likely to think it's the latter because you are simply a 360 fanboy, oh and the word you are looking for is "No", Not "KNOW" your usage of the word is totally incorrect and out of context.

it's as my friend say, haters will always get a product just to say they have it and hate on it. haters behave like this, and you tarsque are no different.... --------------> open zone.

[pixelsword]

you can't name a game that exists that doesn't have a pattern.

[callahan09]

Tarasque, did you even look at the ground? The ground alone looks amazing. There are pebbles and rocks, dirt, mud, etc. The way all of these elements get kicked up by the wind and fly across the battlefield... You can't deny the beauty of this game and the engine it's running on. And the controls suck? How can they suck? The controls are actually really great, in my opinion. If you think they suck, that's your problem, not the game's problem.

[Str8laced]

Wow.....Just Wow, flapping your chops of trying to justify someone's opinion. Throwing out stupid comments and also trying to correct someone's English, did you pay attention to his name. Maybe he wasn't born in the U.S. And to you my sir, people that have their head so far up people a$$e's will try to defend them to the end. You can't see to clearly with sh!t blocking your eye's.

[Tarasque]

Maybe you have not been paying attention to the backlash on the controls, maybe you need to stroll over to GG forums and take a peak. The controls are my problem? That actually is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. That would be like saying i am at fault cause my brand new truck is unresponsive and i have to hit the brake repeatedly to get it to work, and Chevy told me it was my fault i don't know how to drive.

[jammy_70]

same as every shooter EVER!!!!!
and ...every game EVER!!!!
seriously what else cud it be, you have to make progress and this is how you do it!!!

[callahan09]

So you've complained about the controls twice now without actually saying what you don't like about them. Enlighten us, then, because I found them to be more than comfortable and responsive enough for me to enjoy the game.

[Consoldtobots]

lol @ fanboys foaming at the mouth over KZ2's greatness. What's next?
KZ2 eats babies? KZ2 stole my wife? or maybe it was KZ2 on the grassy knoll?

[Ryo-Hazuki]

wtf is wrong with this guy....its a DEMO that lasts like 10 min...on top of that, that whole demo is just a huge tutorial and then it ends

[No Way]

I agree. Pretty much every game that I can recall, at least a shooter, has a pattern to follow. Many other games have the same effect, as well.

[xwabbit]

ROFL AT Article, cant believe some 1 actually wrote this. All games have PATTERNS. Some journalist only care about hits but wow sometimes they forget how stupid they sound. Do a review on mario next ok ?

[xwabbit]

Tarasque must be Whythis best's friend LOL. Controls ? You know... there are over 5 types of controls u can choose from. Second whats ur PSN ID.

[Yipee Bog]

I got the same impression from a 15 MINUTE demo. /sarcasm
seriously. Gears of war doesn't feel the same way?

[thebudgetgamer]

i am going to make a realistic shooter. you can just stand out in the open without fear of being riddled with bullets, and the only way to move forward is to win a two out of three in odds or even. look out for more info @ retarded games dot org

:)

[Viper7]

Lol thats 99% of fps games for you, call of duty follows the pattern, gears of war follows that pattern, Farcry2, Halo, Resistance, Bioshock, Battlefield.

Hell only first person shooters that I know that do not follow this are probably Serious Sam and Deus ex.

Serius sam is more about advancing while shooting and killing and Deus ex breaks this with adventure and rpg elements.

But to tell the truth, isnt this what fps games are about. New addons like shaping the enviroment or super powers will just bring another thing to repeat to this cycle.

[Sevir04]

I'm not the one who has my head in someones ass, I corrected his english because the word "
"No" is universal, Pull your head out of your own ass. Good day Sir.

[mgsfan]

what do they want in a shooter a mad crazy clown man to jump out and have a dance war with you.......*sigh*

[Nonsense 4 Gamers]

And people wonder where I got my name...

[Highatus]

The dumbest thing from reviews and impressions for this game is when they talk about the dialogue.

Curse words are nothing new and almost a part of everyone's day to day vocabulary.

If i'm in a war getting shot at what do you think i'm going to say?

Pardon me sir. Please stop firing your gun at me for a moment while i tend to this wounded fellow?

Or

Gentlemen you need to move your tushies, or i will perform rectal surgery with my foot.

No... i think not, and i reckon if i did my squadmates would probably turn and shoot me instead.

Another ridiculous claim is the control scheme. I picked up the default controls rather quicky and thought they were quite intuitive. To those that constantly complain about them...Have you ever played a FPS before? and if you have, how did you fare? I will quote some infamous lines that can be found in a game called WoW.

Learn2Play

or

Learn2NotSuck

I have heard some lag issues on the controls within the demo, which if true is unfortunate for those that have it, i have not experienced it myself, though remember it is a demo.

[prowiew]

I dont know about you guys. But playing the demo killed my expectations of the game. It was a little underwhelming to me.

[II-Reaper-II]

Call me stupid but isnt Gears the same thing?OH no im sorry Gears is
advance-cover-attack-cover again then repeat.Im tired of these stupid fanboys just trying to find anything in the game to say something bad about it.We PS3 owners are gonna get the best or one of the best FPS this generation GET OVER IT!!!.

[Lifendz]

RPG's are talk to someone, get a quest, grind, talk to someone, get a quest, grind, beat the game

Gears is cover, shoot, cover, shoot, cover, shoot.

Let's not be ticky tacky about this. The game is great. We don't have to resort to criticizing it for not reinventing the genre.

[N4360G]

LOL you can't just advance without taking cover,you'll get yourself killed.I can't wait to buy and play Killzone 2 on my PS3 in only 20 more days!!

[agareen]

u shouldnt even put gears and killzone in da same sentence.
gears perfected da cover system.
and dnt give me dis sh*t bout chest high walls. uncharted had chest high walls.

[Jake1111]

To those of you that are saying the game isnt good I highly doubt you have played it. I have finished the Demo about 8 times and I want to go back for more.

I think what makes the game amazing are the controls (yes I said controls are good!), AI and realism...

The controls are innovative! At first I switched to a COD type control and found it too hard to use cover and zoom. So I went back and pushed to "CHANGE" my thinking. And guess what! I changed and love it. Pushing the R3 to zoom feels almost natural now. The cover seems natural. Peeking up and around cover is wild!

AI??? I can sum it up with this. I was hiding behind cover and realized I was getting shot. I looked around and thought... Ok.. no one in sight..glitch??? NO!!!!! The dude was halway up the stairs to my left and he was shooting me through the cover and the gap that was to the left of my cover! For a second I thought I was online??? Then I realized these were NPCs!!!! I have never played against bots or NPCs that were this smart! Never!

Realism?? The explosions, sound, weight of the character, movement, scenery, physics, destruction are all amazing. I have yet to see a gas can indent when I shot it. I have yet to see a plastic table bust apart with plastic fiber sticking out. This is amazing.

Therefore, the truth is this. This game is AMAZING and innovative! PERIOD!!! I am in no means a fanboy! I have the 360 as well and think he 360 has some great games. I loved GOW1 GOW2 etc etc... But I have played nothing close to this on any other console!! I truly believe it was the competition from Microsoft that pushed Sony to make games of this quality this generation. Without the 360 we would have potentially had a "stepping stone" system before the PS3... Regardless. I am a HAPPY GAMER!

KEEP THEM COMING MICROSOFT AND SONY!!! Cant wait until Feb 27!!!!!

Jake

[FrankenLife]

What the **** does this ****ing asshole what out of a ****ing first person shooter. You go forward. Some ***hole shoots at you. You get the **** out of the way. Then you shoot the ****er in the head. You don't stop shooting until everyone is dead or you are able to go forward. What the ****? Even Bioshock, which was the most innovative shooter for a long time followed that gameplay. If this ***hole thinks that this form of fps gameplay is tired and old, then why doesn't he come up with a better one. It is just like you can't build a better mouse trap. Making demands that it is other people's responsibility to build a better wheel is just ****tarded.
/rant

[incogneato]

So true, but since it's on the PS3 IT NEEDS TO REVOLUTIONARY CRAZY AND OUT OF THIS WORLD to achieve a decent critique.

[dantesparda]

The 360 fanboys are unbelievable! Their hate for this game is unbelievable, eh? And everytime some no name site or blog talks sh!t about K2, they (the 360 fanboys) comes out and defend it like its true because of their predetermined hate for all things PS3 & Sony. They hate this game, and are trying everything to bring this game down, but its really just pathetic and petty on their part. Because all they are really doing is just nitpicking and b!tching about the pettiest little things. But then again what else would you expect from them?

All the meanwhile, they think Halo Wars is so fvcking great and dont question anything about it, one bit. Where is the media picking apart of that game, eh? Where is all the bullsh!t complaints about that games controls and bugs and repetiveness, or the fact that RTS games are all the same, and the "been there, done that"? Huh? Where is it!? But the media isnt biased, right 360 fanboys? That's just some delusional conspiracy theory conjured up by Sony fanboys and their paranoiac thinking, right?

The 360 fanboy is the most pathetic, b!tchiest, delusional, and down right mean-spirited and nasty fanboy there is. PEROID! They are all snobs and think they are smarter and better than the Sony fanboys. Oh and they are not "fanboys", only Sony fanboys are "fanboys". They always complain about how N4G is some fanboy infested website, just because is got more Sony fanboys than 360 fanboys, yet never mention a peep about how the rest of the damn internet is infested with fanboys. Cuz you see those are usually 360 fanboys. Hence they are not fanboys, but rather non-fanboys who can see the light. Unlike you blinded Sony sheeps (according to their thinking). It is all biased thinking, and its bullsh!t, its not right, its not fair, and its never gonna end. But its the way the humans are and the way the world works. You take a side and stick to it and hate the fvck out of the other side no matter what.

Look people, you will never get a fair unbiased review or opinion from these websites. We dont need reviews anymore, not when you have a bazillion videos of a game on the internet and demos. Stop letting other people you dont know sway how you feel. Fvck them, they are just out to fulfill their agenda.

[no-spin]

on normal i noticed the a.i. was intense. The helghast covered just as you would, pin yuou down and not stay in the same place so you can wait for them come out.
the so called pattern:
well i see the pattern of this dumb articles to get hits, so its okay for the journalist to follow this pattern i guess. I hope this person never goes to war, he would not get past the first wall :)

[BigSwede]

Killzone sucks. Btw Sweden is the best country in the world.

[jadenkorri]

omg a covering system, run, cover shoot, rince repeat, rince repeat etc, etc, really f*cking funny to be saying that when Gears Of War is the exact same thing...OMG Killzone 2 having a covering system...

[Raoh]

hihater.com

LOL did he notice that only one class was available for demo?

how is this different from any fps formula?

also have played it a few times... each time was different the AI is on point.. when they get into a formula yeah you can figure it out, but depending how you play (sober last night, kinda drinking right now) its not the same game each time

begone hater

[Playa7970]

And COD is like run cover shoot repeat....

Gears Run cover shoot chainsaw repeat....

[Playa7970]

COD is like run cover shoot repeat....

Gears Run cover shoot chainsaw repeat....

[CrazyOrange]

but Japanese RPGs

Solve Puzzles.
Hack and slash attack, use magic, use items
defend,run.
look for treasure.
buy/sell you stuff.
make items.
do quests.
customize your character.

and in FPS
Shoot, Shoot, Cover ,reload , change weapon and do it untill you complete the game with crappy story.

[steriotyp]

You just summed up the formula for every FPS ever created. Story or not, all games of the genre follow this formula. Well, I guess we are bound to see some fanboyish articles about release time right?

[JsonHenry]

Every? You obviously did not play PAINKILLER when it first came out. No time to cover there. Balls to the wall run and gun baby.

[pixelsword]

Shoot, reload, repeat.

I'm just kidding, but like I said, every game has a pattern.

[dylz]

first of all you played a 10 minute demo how can you know what the whole game is gonna be like second of all big deal every fps is like this

[Tarasque]

A demo is something to represent your game to get more people to buy it. And as it stands now it was a bad choice to put a demo out, cause they just hurt sales.

[HDgamer]

In your own biased opinion, apparently many others enjoyed the demo and well let's not forget people still have their pre-orders.

[HateFanboys]

Fanboy!

[gdguide]

Yeah. Killzone 2 just does the same thing. I wish they had advance, sing a song, talk on the phone, attack. And then maybe the next area could be jump in some puddles, advance, watch some TV, make a sculpture out of ice, and attack.

Why can't this demo be like say Gears of War that changes gameplay all the time. Oh wait....

What a retarded article.

[PoSTedUP]

advance (better than any other fps) cover (better than any other fps) attack (better than any other fps)

graphics (better than any other game)

rawness (the most raw)

intence? (the most intence)

feel? (the realest feel)

console? (the P S m***** f***ing 3!)

[DethWish]

About intense, go play Omaha Beach on Medal of Honor Allied Assault :)

The demo reminded me of that, but is less intense

[Shane Kim]

Disagreed. MoH:AA had a really cool disembarkation. However, there were only like 5 characters on screen. The intencity is much higher in KZ2 (IMO).

[Anti-PS3]

"Yeah. Killzone 2 just does the same thing. I wish they had advance, sing a song, talk on the phone, attack. And then maybe the next area could be jump in some puddles, advance, watch some TV, make a sculpture out of ice, and attack."

Just to let you know, it can't have that. If it did they would dock it for too much variety. Remember Gamespot. :)

[Cool Hwhip]

The demo is what,10 minutes long?What did you expect to happen in those 10 minutes,a friendly game of Soccer between the ISA and the Helghast?

[PoSTedUP]

it was more like 3 mins... and those 3min > any other fps i ever played.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

watch this get approved lol even tho we have like 20 reports but if this a 360 game with 3 reports it gets failed in a matter of seconds well thats the XMODS for you

[pixelsword]

Some lame demo "impressions" gets forwarded to the front page before it hits 10 degrees, but a custom story on this "site" gets shot down.

[lokiroo420]

Way to attack a demo dumb @sses!

[Cajun Chicken]

Say, isn't that Gears of War's description?^

[Vip3r]

Gears of War and just about every other game is the same too. This story fails.

[Kratos19]

^Fail.

[Neurotoxin]

"Sony fanboys everywhere were suddenly glued in front of their television screens".....

Lol thats really narrow minded.

[yanikins111]

errrr and that makes it a bad game??

[Yawnier]

But some don't have a cover system, what a complete dumbass that wrote this dumbass acticle.

[deathray]

KZ2 has the best cover system I have ever seen! I just f'n LOVE it!!!! Yes, the demo is way too short, but it's just a taste and it's epic and it IS different. It feels right and I hope the gaming community in general will appreciate the innovation that is there.

[DethWish]

It is.... and its damn fun =)

[mirroredderorrim]

Like a food addict to Mcdonalds. "I'm Lovin It"

[yanikins111]

with reanimated chipmunks

on fire

[enviable27]

Everybody should know that most traffic hungry sites are going to try to make stupid articles/blogs out of this game just because of the hype the best thing anybody can do is give them the finger by not clicking the site link period.

[poeo]

there is other stuff in Killzone 2 too. not gonna spoil anything though.

[madpuppy]

Killzone 2's game mechanics are similar to all other FPS shooters out there? who would have thought?...blah :P

[Dmack79]

walk, stop, aim, shoot, repeat. And the character in RE5 controls like a fat man with a gun, a massive gun.

I mean isn't every video game kind of repetitive in it's own small way? This article is just plain stupid.

[peeps]

demo reviews haha. I'm not sure why kz is getting so much stick tbh. Most fanboys have been saying that the ps3 hasn't had gd games for the last 2 years compared to 360 and alot of the times the standard was higher on 360, but as soon as ps3 gets a proper AAA exclusive title and sites are alive with nitpicking comments about how it doesn't feel like Call of duty, or the shadows arn't perfect, or that its like every over fps game on the market.

If people just played it for what it was rather than actually trying to find problems i'm sure you would enjoy it alot more. Not to mention a review on a demo is completely pointless. People use reviews to help them decide on buying a game, but then why listen to you when they can just play the demo themselves??? madness and it's also why these 'demo reviews' are just full of fanboys arguing

[sugard0]

How can people base judgement on a Demo? Obviously there will be alot more variety in the FULL GAME! And the bit where the demo ends is probably where it was about to get juicy cuz u start blowing up buildings etc. I watched the full level video a while back.

[Shane Kim]

And Mario is all about jumping. w00t, one of the greatest games you say?

[RevChris]

run>jump>stomp>coin > mushroom > flag>underground> stomp > castle >"princess is in another castle">repeat

[Orbilator]

Amazing, he's totally right, oh hang on all FPS shooters are the same, oh no they all must be crap, Thats it I wat a ban on all FPS games as of now, how dare they all follow the same procedure.

Like I said eleswhere, If i had two cars, one a astra and one a ferrari, they are both cars but the ferrari does the car thing in style, we have the same thing here, its just another FPS but it does it with style.

[sugard0]

What a flamebait title.

[dorron]

Seems everybody's out to bash Killzone 2 just as they are doing with PS3.

[LarVanian]

Why are all these sites and people judging Killzone 2 based on a 5 minute demo? (An awesome one at that)
Seriously people are trying way too hard to find reasons to bash Killzone 2. They just can't stand the fact that the game lived up to the hype and that it makes every other FPS feel like a generic mess (COD and Resistance included).
There are people making blogs over small glitches that hardly anybody seems to notice.
My advice to all these haters: Instead of trying your best to find all the smallest flaws in Killzone 2, why not try to enjoy it? And instead of basing your opinion of the game on the demo, why don't you wait until you've played the actual game?

PS: If Killzone 2 was an Xbox 360 exclusive, I can guarantee you that it would be the most praised game of all time.

[yojoe26]

Dang I hate that the moron spent all of his time over there examining the water and missed out on playing the one of the best FPS's ever...Oh well maybe he'll get to actually playing the game on his second play through. Or he might just use that playthrough to examine the texture quality on the bottom treads of the Helghan tanks...

[kewlkat007]

I tried to walk in it a little bit and there really was no movement, almost like your in Mud.

I was thinking it would of been more fluid-like with the animations(Which are suppose to be top knotch).

Again, the game is suppose to be PERFECT. so expect this.

[HateFanboys]

You're a moron and a douchebag, now go play your 360 and stop trolling you fanboy

[free3sixty]

KZ2 has awesome graphics and sound but i hate the controls. Hell in MP you wont hit any enemy with this slow controls.

Knife + running + jumping = win.

[Baba1906]

of course u will hit them. u will get used to it. it takes some time. but it rocks.

[HateFanboys]

About the controls already. The controls are fine, you obvious just suck. And have you ever heard of a thing called the "sensitivity"? go bring it up and it'll speed the turn you retard.

[BMS84]

Killzone 2 offers the best graphics on any console period. when the game will be released the 25th it willl run 1080i

And what is this dude expecting from a FPS??
It's not an RPG game.

[dale1]

i wonder if sony was wise to put out the demo so early,talk about nit picking,its a beautiful great playing FPS thats it.surpassed the 2005 trailer what more do you want and its exclusive,not timed but exclusive,sh*t it must hurt not owning a ps3 this year.ouch

[reelife]

Just wow, they've got nothing else to say about KZ2 than that? HOW ABOUT GEARS FOR F*CK SAKE!!! THAT GAME IS advance>cover>attack> repeat.

[Morrissey]

Sex:
Penis in>Penis out>Penis in>Penis Out

[CobraKai]

I don't think this guy has had sex yet.

[Teabag]

Would it really hurt to throw a kiss in there somewhere?! :)

[skip2mylou]

well throw in kiss or lick the tit at least XD

[CobraKai]

It's funny really. I'm pretty sure when he plays a racing game he'd say; "All you do is drive and turn and drive some more". Or with a fighting game "All you do is fight, block, use combos, and throws repeat". Or with an rpg; "All you do is fight monsters, level up, and engross yourself with rich character development and diverse plotlines, repeat".

[kewlkat007]

I do not wanna play it and not enjoy it, regardless of the graphics..

[dantesparda]

The controls are fine, the controller is fine and the water is fine, its just your 360 fanboy tendencies that is the problem. Take of the fanboy goggles and you'll see that its fine.

Its funny cuz i dont hear the 360 fanboy whining about their 360s breaking down or having to have to pay for XBL (which has added up to $200 for me so far) or paying for themes or gamerpics. But this, this is unacceptable. Funny fvcking bunch.

I dont think the game is perfect (no game is), but the nitpicking and b!tching from the 360 fanboys/Microsoft Attack Force is just pathetic!

[Yomiro]

what's the point reviewing a demo?...when the full game has been reviewed already.

[Tarasque]

Cause they have a opinion also, maybe they didn't have the luxury of reviewing the full game. Maybe they wasn't paid off to give great reviews, maybe it was like the MGS4 reviews where you had to give this this and that to review the game.

Shooters are all like advance > shoot > advance > shoot
Racing games are all like speed up > slow down > turn > speed up > slow down > turn
Sports games are all like pass > run > pass > run > attempt to score
Western RPGS are all like run > kill > talk > quest > run > kill

[Yomiro]

I don't think the demo is from the final code...the demo is the same we saw in those videos 5 months ago.

[bassturd]

pretty much every negative can be said about any other game out there...games that get perfect scores even. Perhaps he should just quit videogames.

[BkaY]

what about gears...?

[Synex]

So it's like real war?

[Teabag]

The problem remains that the expectations for Killzone 2 are just too high. There has never been any claims that the gameplay would be innovative in any way. The graphics are good (perhaps not as good as they have been hyped), the AI seems good and the gameplay seems solid.

It is just another FPS, a good one, but it is hard for a FPS to be groundbreaking, and Killzone 2 isn't. It brings an incremental improvement. Killzone 3 will likley be the same, it will incrementally improve upon itself (my vote would be for more destructible environments - which I think can radically change the way a FPS plays).

[Yomiro]

I have to bring this quote from another reviewer when I see people making negative comments.

it's obvious from the outset that Guerrilla Games never intended for its sequel to reinvent the FPS wheel.

However, considering the worth of a lengthy campaign offering genuine challenge, thrilling local multiplayer with A.I. bots, and a layered online multiplayer component that's likely to be PSN's main point of attraction for the foreseeable future, it's clear Killzone 2 has taken the ever-so popular wheel, slapped a gorgeous chrome rim on it, drastically reduced its tyre profile, and applied a sense of balance never before felt on a wheel. Why then would anyone want to reinvent the wheel when the damn wheel never looked so good or rolled so well?

[ar]

"Killzone 2 demo is all like 'advance>cover>attack> ;repeat'"
That's warfare tactics 101 for ya. There is no gun and run in real life.

[harshtruth]

On my first play through of the demo i missed this, i thought you could only shoot off helmets... turns out in the warehouse section there's a second Helghan rifle to pick up (not the Helghan sub machine gun) if you shoot a dead/alive Helghan in the face it blows their head completely off.... this gun only shows up once in the demo, the guy sniping above the office has it and he must fall off the office when he dies for you to get this gun... its sweet

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

So it's just like the first Killzone (((ADVANCE!!!)))

[maverick1191]

could say the same about gears why do they bash a ps3 game when a xbox game has done it before them typical fanboy article

[tonywood]

Killzone 2 is great! Just as good as Halo 1, 2, and 3...and Gears 1 & 2. There is one major differance with Sony However....when gamers have their fill of this great shooter, they can simpley put in Uncharted, God of War, Grand T., Final Fantasy Vs., LBP, Knights, Hevenly Rain, surf the net, or watch Blu ray dvd's. (Also, the PS3 is an upconverting dvd player)

With 360...YOU ONLY HAVE THE OPTION OF EITHER PLAYING OTHER SHOOTERS OR THE GAMES THAT MS HAS PAID FOR...BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE SKILL TO MAKE THEIR OWN STUFF. I will say this again, PS3 will destroy it's competetion because of the collectiong of innovation and NOT 5 or six Halo or Gear's titles. I dont; care what system peopel play, but note this fact: Japan media and system owners are very excited the release of Killzone 2! Keep in mind that they get to play MOST titles before America even knows about them. Everone gave Gears of War 1&2 and Halo 2&3, all their love....and both Halo 3 and Gears 1.5 did not live up to the hype.

[a_cold_soul]

Sony didn't make any of those games and do you have any proof MS paid for anything?

No.... I didn't think so -_-

Just like Call of Duty and Gears. Let the hating begin. There no denying it Killzone 2 will be great.

[Nathan Hale]

Everyone needs to stop bashing this game....nit picking at every little detail...it is what it is AMAZING...best part was when my girlfriend looked over at the screen an asked if i was actually playing the game...cause SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A VIDEO!!!!!! haha

[conorgill14]

Its a cover based shooter. Therefore, you advance, cover, shoot, and advance. just like any other shooter, where you advance and shoot and repeat. I wish killzone got fair press instead of people loooking to down it, i have the demo, and it is a great game from what i have played so far.

[SAiOSiN]

gears 2 is cover based...kz2 is nowhere near cover based. it have a cover system at ur disposal, but the game doesn't use it as a crutch.

[gnothe1]

listen guys. not everyone is gonna like this game. now when somebody comes out an praises the game you guys have nothing to say but as soon as somebody says something that you don't necessary agree with you want to write him off. the game IS good, but its not GREAT. I was lead to believe this was going to be GREAT an destroy everything in its path ITS NOT!!. once I finish the story mode then its back to COD4 for me!! unless the only part really excels, its back to COD!!

[BGDad]

Just shut up not only do you look stupid anyone who has played the game knows whats up...

I thought it couldnt hit the target render from E3 2005? WRONG!

Not to mention the game is actually pretty fun to play.. Great gameplay + great graphics = Xbot ownage....

[Mr_Luke]

What a stupid article O_o
What you have to do in a First Person "SHOOTER"? Bake cakes? Play football? Martial arts fighting 1 VS 1? Please... Other than that, the guy seems totally incompetent: "Maybe if I knew my character’s name so that I knew what order to take I’d be good, but I’m bad with names and gameplay objectives should be very clear or else it’s poor design."
It's clear, they need someone who reads their crap, and what's better then saying those things against a game that many ppl are waiting for?

[Flare149]

I wonder if they gave this arguement for Gears 2

[Lord Vader]

"The first thing you’ll notice are the graphics. They’re a mixture of breathtakingly gorgeous, and downright hideous. While the weapons in the game look strikingly real, a lot of the textures look like straight-up garbage.

There’s a part early on in the game where you and your group pass a small flowing stream and I swear to God I’ve seen better looking water in N64 games. I’ve heard/read that a number of people are having issues with the way that the guns fire in this game....

The main thing I noticed was that walking and aiming are very slow compared to other FPS games out there."

Think I'll be renting this one b4 plopping down $60 for no co-op & a 9 hour campaign. Gears MP let me down, I was hoping this would be better, but we'll see soon.

[a_cold_soul]

Killzone2 is generic shooter #108 but with good graphics.

[fire23]

It's called PACING, its the bare essential to any action of a video game.

[Huntmaster17]

just another bitter hater, lets move on..

[SAiOSiN]

and...that's the point. i guess this guy was expecting.

shoot>attack>nap>lob ster dinner>cover>rinse>re peat

[James Vanderbeek]

I swear.. where is kevin pereira when you need him?? lol..

http://www.kevinpereira.com...

I swear people find the dumbest reasons to hate on ps3 games.. everyone of them... Where was all the haters when halo 3 came out? that game looked horrible compared to killzone 2 and gears of war.. its was just an old fashion fps game too.. just like most of them.. shot run stop.. killzone 2 take it to another level though.. killzone 2 is old fashion when it comes to fps games but it enhances everything to the max.. Killzone 2 is the best FPS game i have ever played on a console.. in this is just from playing the demo a hundred times.. the game does everything a fps game needs to do but it does it right and takes it up to a new level..

[brownkidd]

If you saw Friday's episode of Attack of the Show he said that he thought Killzone 2 was "meh"

[PS360PCROCKS]

lol what a dumb article, all shooting games are this way. Unless you play on easy and you just run through, I don't see how anyone dies.

[hydro-lx]

by him saying sony fanboys, i know hes a 360 fanboy! no need to read the article of an unknown site! anyways you can say this about any game

RPG's - attack, kill, level up, loot, repeat
Sports - run around, score, repeat
Racing - drive, win, repeat
Shooters - run around, shoot, kill, repeat
Action - Run around, complete missions, repeat

i could go on too! f@g
also, is it our fault you didn't learn the names in like the 50 times they said it? CEV CEV CEV CEV CEV CEV!" Cev, follow me, ill push you up" obviously, it means you! oh and N64 graphics? you musta been smoking some og kush or something!

[WaitStation 3]

Well, at least they use the more civilized "fanboy" word than the "Droid" one.

[grantps3]

the demo is 15 minutes long at most.

so in 15 minutes its shoot>cover> advance, but there is the mech, tank, boss, turret, battles.

dont even start to call it repetitive because in 15 minutes of a level, it doesnt have a variety of gameplay. besides all other FPS dont even have the cover system mechanic.

halo- run, shoot, drive
Gears- cover, shoot, advance
Cod- run, shoot

and halo and gears are considered great games (even though im not a fan), but they dont have that diverse of a campaign.

killzone 2 is anything but repetitive.

[LinuxGuru]

And how many countless other games are like this? Give me a freakin' break!

[c64days]

Isn't it the same on all shooters? advanced , take cover, shoot, repeat?

hell, isn't it the same on the battlefield???

man, this guy is a genies, he's onto something i missed my entire lift...

[XxOsIIruSxX]

KILLZONE2 HAS COD4 CONTROLL SETTING

[LinuxGuru]

Yeah..."alternate 2"

By far the best control setting of the bunch.

[Anti-PS3]

I think that Standard 1 is the best control scheme for this game. Alternate 2 is awkward and difficult. Remember this is not COD4 this is KZ2. Give Standard 1 a shot and don't change the zoom so that you have to hold it. Leave it as is. I tried this method and I find the game more enjoyable.

[name]

The only FPS I know of that didn't follow this formula was bioshock.

[Death2494]

This game does it's job by immersing the player. Controls were a quick fix when sensitivity was adjusted.Turn off the HUD and OMG. CG in motion people seriously, and to anyone who says different is just lying to themselves. Own both ps3 and 360, this game is a buy period. Like every reviewer said, you're just nitpicking at small things and need to grow up. If you don't like then don't buy it.Nobody is forcing Killzone 2 down your throats. Why are you bashing a game that you're not going to buy? Gamers are devolving and it's sad.

[nycredude]

It's unbelievable how much hate is being directed at Killzone 2. I fyou don't like the game fine move on to next one and stop complaining. No the developers have to cater to each and everyone of us seperately. How about they make millions of variation for every single buyer so everyone is happy.

It is obvious people are just going into this looking for things to bash. Comments about really bad textures and controls are the most BS I've ever seen. These haters need to STFU! Reviews have already said it that Killzone does not deviate from the FPS formula, rather it perfects it and polishes it, which is perfect for me.

Dude it is an FPS, they don't inovate, the important thing is the fun factor. All this from a 15 minute demo. Damn the haters. They are so annoying. It's like they don't enjoy games.

[ballsofsteel]

wtf are people expecting? the FPS to own all FPS's? they way FPS's are build right now nothing will change dramatically and even with innovations like cover and stuff the main purpose of FPS's is still shot enemy, advance, and take cover to recover health when necessary

[tonywood]

A_COLD_SOUL is it? I tell you what, how about you do some research before blogging/chatting with the big boys. MS is throwing money around, respecting neither gamers no the vidoe game industry.

1st of all, MS wasted $200 million on it's acquisition of RARE. With this brilliant idea, they produced Conker: Live and Reloaded. (The BEST out the worst games made by these guys/gals, after being bought by Msoft) I'M SURE YOU KNEW THAT, RIGHT NOOB?

2nd, $50 million was wasted on some GTA downloadable content. (Sure, some will buy it, but over all, another bad investment) Instead of spending money on shooters or overpriced DLC...MS could give their fans I don't know, a BLU RAY Drive, something OTHER than Halo and Gears part infinity, and quality RPG. (Not this Halo Wars garbage that REAL gamers will see right through) Are you following me, cold soup...or whatever the hell your name is?

3rd, after failed attempts of begging for Metal Gear Solid 4, MS cried to Capcom...for DMC, Street Fighter 4, and Resident Evil 5. Also, cried to Rockstar for GTA, and Activision for Guitar Hero, AFTER making fun of it while it was on the Ps2. You know, like the Wii, oops., I mean Mii Avatars, Sony Singstar (They called it Lipps), and now, they will get TEKKON and Final Fantasy as well. (These are facts...NOOB!!)

Bottom line, these games are Sony franchises, that will sell MORE on the ps3. The only issue is the cost of the Ps3, which will come down to $299. At that point, 360 will end up like Circuit City. Only competition this generation is Nintendo Vs. Sony. Combined sales, PSP, PS2, and PS3 are laughing at the both of the MS consoles. Also, only after 2 years...the PS3 is at 21 million units sold, EVEN AT A HIGHER PRICE TAG. This year, the PS3 will begin to do what the Ps1 and Ps2 did previously. LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, GAMES, INNOVATION, QUALITY SYSTEM, AND PAST TRACK RECORD FROM SONY'S GAMES DIVISION.

CLASS DISMISSED NOOB...I MEAN A_COLD_WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

You possess an extra special ignorance.

I will just say one thing in regards to that pile of crap post(along with the others you posted in this thread). You shouldn't be calling people "noobs" and then say things like "Hevenly Rain" when your rattling off your PS3 propaganda.

[Man_of_the_year]

I have to agree with Crab

That Sony properganda that you wrote there was a complete pile of garbage. Your ignorance is blinding.

Where should i begin to break down you BS...

1) "1st of all, MS wasted $200 million on it's acquisition of RARE. With this brilliant idea, they produced Conker: Live and Reloaded. (The BEST out the worst games made by these guys/gals, after being bought by Msoft) I'M SURE YOU KNEW THAT, RIGHT NOOB? "

- The acqusition of RARE was a smart move by MS because RARE is mostly noted for their great work within the casual gaming community which as this day and age seems to be what the masses are playing lately - (using the Wii as a great example). Rare allows MS to produce a quality title under either a new IP or an old IP and with the reputation of RARE's past - the RARE name has already indicated to may shoppers the quality of the game before it is even purchased - Had MS not invested into purchasing RARE - some other company would have.

2) "2nd, $50 million was wasted on some GTA downloadable content. (Sure, some will buy it, but over all, another bad investment) Instead of spending money on shooters or overpriced DLC...MS could give their fans I don't know, a BLU RAY Drive, something OTHER than Halo and Gears part infinity, and quality RPG. (Not this Halo Wars garbage that REAL gamers will see right through) Are you following me, cold soup...or whatever the hell your name is? "

Here is some numbers for ya - try and keep up.

So far GTA IV has sold around 3.1 million units of the game for the 360. In order for MS to break even - there needs to be 2.5 million downloads at $20 a pop of the DLC of the 3.1 million units of GTA IV sold (U.S numbers). That means of the 3.1 million units purchased; if 600,000 people either returned the game or just is not going to DL the content; MS will still break even - not to mention that the content will still be there for new purchasers of the game and these numbers are also not including World Wide sales...

This investment is great for multiple reasons - 1) it puts money into the developers pocket right away. 2) It gives the 360 an edge if fans of the game are not sure which console to buy the game on or which console to purchase if they want to play this game. 3) Allows the fans to enjoy more out of a game.

3) "3rd, after failed attempts of begging for Metal Gear Solid 4, MS cried to Capcom...for DMC, Street Fighter 4, and Resident Evil 5. Also, cried to Rockstar for GTA, and Activision for Guitar Hero, AFTER making fun of it while it was on the Ps2. You know, like the Wii, oops., I mean Mii Avatars, Sony Singstar (They called it Lipps), and now, they will get TEKKON and Final Fantasy as well. (These are facts...NOOB!!) "

I am sure you have links to all these "claims" right? Seeing that you have just posted this "fact" you didn't back it up with links...it would appear that it is YOU who is the NOOB since you couldn't even provide a source for you claims which would have been thought a normal practice when trying to state a FACT...you NOOB!!!

4) "Bottom line, these games are Sony franchises, that will sell MORE on the ps3. The only issue is the cost of the Ps3, which will come down to $299. At that point, 360 will end up like Circuit City. Only competition this generation is Nintendo Vs. Sony. Combined sales, PSP, PS2, and PS3 are laughing at the both of the MS consoles. Also, only after 2 years...the PS3 is at 21 million units sold, EVEN AT A HIGHER PRICE TAG. This year, the PS3 will begin to do what the Ps1 and Ps2 did previously. LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, GAMES, INNOVATION, QUALITY SYSTEM, AND PAST TRACK RECORD FROM SONY'S GAMES DIVISION. "

- as far as i am aware - all those "sony games" have actually sold more on the 360. I know that GTA IV has a higher sales rate on the 360. But please again, provide a source to back up your claimes...Looking at the Metacritic scores - it would appear that the 360 has more games that are 80 and higher than on the PS3 as well as 90 and higer...

Why don't you provide a link to your claims rather than use the word "fact" where you are clearly trying to recruit new delirious fanboys to join your Sony programmed collective mind.

[GarandShooter]

@ man of the year

When picking apart another's post, it's helpful if yours is FUD free. For example:

'In order for MS to break even - there needs to be 2.5 million downloads at $20 a pop of the DLC'

WRONG. MS does NOT get the whole $20 for every download, that is NOT their profit on each unit sold. Rockstar still gets a cut of that $20. When companies pay for exclusivity, that money helps offset any potential profit that could be made by the dev/publisher on the competing system. None of us know exactly how much of that money MS is getting, but we damn sure know it's not the whole amount. It could be $2, $5, or $10 per unit, who knows. The number of units MS needs to sell to break even is also unknown.

Having said that, it's obvious Rockstar thought it was in their best interest to take the cash and keep the DLC exclusive to the 360. However, their reasoning is unclear, and not necessarily a slight to the PS3. They could have thought known money was preferable to potential money. They could have thought the potential for profit on the PS3 DLC was questionable already, and played MS into the $50 million payment. The point is we don't know. When you bash a post for not providing factual reference, it is incumbent upon you to provide factual references for the areas you dispute.

[Man_of_the_year]

Because my post was already big enough as it was - i felt there was no need to add "speculations or unknowns". It was a generic point to the poster to show that MS did not waste $50 million as it is pretty clear that the investment will show returns just by using simple math. MS and R* are companies and know well enough the market and the potential of it. MS knows they will get their money back with gains as R* knows that $50 million is a fair price for their services to create exclusive DLC on the 360.

Also because i didn't add "unknowns and speculation" into my original post doesn't make it FUD. Making it FUD would be for me to put unknowns and speculations into the original argument and claim them as FACT.

[tonywood]

For all the haters on here..LOOK AT THE DATE OF THE DEMO. The final build (Which I have played) is sharper, moves more fluently, and the graphics are brighter.

Also, MOST games will show glitches, as demonstrated by people who like to find them. K2 is a lot better than gears and halo 2 & 3. (Halo: Combat Evolved is lengendary, tied with K2..in my opinion)
Aiming issues have been addressed and you can change your controls to mirror Call of Duty 4.

[RebornSpy]

but is that really a bad thing. The Gears of War games are the same way, for the most part. The majority of the combat is from behind cover, and sometimes some event happens that changes the gameplay for a short while. If Killzone is like that, I'm perfectly alright with that. In fact, I'd love it. It's an emerging sub-genre that is already present in AAA games such as Uncharted and Gears.

I loved the demo, once I got used to the controls.

[cyclindk]

"The first thing you’ll notice are the graphics. They’re a mixture of breathtakingly gorgeous, and downright hideous. While the weapons in the game look strikingly real, a lot of the textures look like straight-up garbage. There’s a part early on in the game where you and your group pass a small flowing stream and I swear to God I’ve seen better looking water in N64 games."

Total BS!! The water looked great (not superb), but pretty good. AND EVERY single texture in CoD 4 and 5 are total garbage, so this loser better say EVERY game has crappy textures if KZ2's textures are crappy..

"Some of the textures looks like pixellated shi(at) stains on cardboard"

BULLSHI(T) you lOSER!!!

"Just like with the first Killzone, the game feels like it’s on rails and doesn’t allow for a lot of exploration or strategy options."

BS again... try keeping the rocket launcher and then going after the APCs and take the Helghast out as soon as they emerge, try flanking, try just using a combination of knife and pistol, kill all your (non main character) teammates for fun. JESUS, I guess for a brainless loser it would be difficult to use some strategy (exploring is for open world games, name me five shooters that allow you to "explore.")

[pansenbaer]

...sigh

"I'm tired of FPS that have the same formula. Just once I'd like to see a FPS that is 'slumber party>spa visit>grocery shopping>repeat"

....

[harshtruth]

with that said ive played it nonstop... this "demo" poops on all resistance, halo,COD, and gears games..... period... the physics, animations, AI, sound, gamplay, and graphics

[Itrguy001]

So Gears Doesnt Do That? odd because from how i played on the PC version of Gears1 that was how it was like..... hmm maybe im playing it wrong

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Actually Gears has variety like vehicle sections. And I feel that is the problem with this preview since is it's just a demo you don't get to see the variety.

The demo is just a small glimpse of the total package and from what I've seen/read there will be vehicle sections, turret sections, etc so it's simply not run-cover-shot badguy-run-cover.

The demo was an excellent snack and I can't wait for the full meal!

[GarandShooter]

Crab, I gotta tell you that I'm enjoying your new found 'middle of the road opinion'. As a dual console owner for the past two years, I have been enjoying the best both systems have to offer. While it's perfectly acceptable to be 'pro' one console, it's absolutely unnecessary to be 'anti' the other.

And you are absoultely correct about the variety in both games. Even the old shoot/cover/advance progression can feel different in different environments and with different enemies. The demo is too short to say with certainty that KZ2 will completely fall into the 'been there, done that' category, and even if it does, (as Gears 2 did with Gears 1) if it does it with style (as Gears 2 did), it can still be a great experience.

[Reshun]

I can see a lot of articles criticizing every bits of this game but this just sounds ridiculous.

[FireJackal]

OW!Now i wont buy it,that's not the thing i was expecting from a FPS,where is all the races with flying pigs that i love?!

[_Eternity_]

Its hard for me to overall judge the game really with the demo being so damn short, played through it 3 times, 3rd time round went sight seeing for a bit, havent really noticed boat loads of bad textures that some people are suggesting, there are a few but what game doesn't have those.
I like the cover system myself i think it works very well, the AI is brilliant, the controls work well in my opinion, they feel weighty and just right, you certainly dont feel like your restricted or like the controls hamper the gameplay.

Water was a bit iffy have seen much better but in saying that this is easily the best console game visually ive seen. The sound is on an Epic scale and would do the game a great injustice heard on anything less than 5.1 surround. Overall i like it and cant wait for the full version, i'll definitely be buying it, with resident evil 5 killzone 2 and street fighter 4 coming out all within a week of each other here in australia i'll be entertained for quite awhile.

Oh and i can almost guarantee from what i've seen and read the multiplayer component of killzone will be the money shot.

EDIT: just one question, does demo have 1080i support? or does it always default to native 720p? or does my monitor just not register the weird 1080i res that it can run at over HDMI.

[ThatDud3]

I think all of you guys are far more repetitive then any video game I've ever played.
article with an opinion> bash writer> bash 360> suck sony's d***>repeat
Same goes for you Xbox tards as well.

[tonywood]

You just wasted a ton of space, which could have been used to make a REAL argument.

O.K., name a Good game from the Rare camp....take your time, I'll wait. MS jumped on Rare because of the success of the 1st Conker game, and Goldeneye. Since then...let's see here: Conker: Live and Reloaded (umm.. garbage), kameo, (sucked balls), and NOTHING ELSE!! (When you open your mouth, say something that can be backed up by facts and most of all, MAKE SENSE!!)

Again, anyone (Who know about games) knows that Tomb Raider, GTA 4, DMC 3, and Oblivion, all sold better on a PS3 system...WHICH HAD LESS OUT ON THE STREETS. At one point, I owned the Wii, 360, and PS3...but never got another 360 after the 5th RROD. I don't hate Bungie, Valve, or Epic. However, I don't care for MS because they have these great developers in a "sling", thus forcing them to make re-hash or PC ports..just to get a quick buck. (Get mad all you want, you know I'm right) The 360 is an inferior system, living off one hit wonders, known as Halo and Gears of War.

If people want a 360, then get it! I am only stating that the PS3 is the better system, and there is no disputing that. (Look at what you get, and you can clearly see that) Sony used their $50 million and had G. Games develop Killzone 2; Naughty Dog to develop both Drakes 1 & 2, and although Socom C. was not that great...you got a $50 dollar headset, which was the whole point/benefit of buying the game. DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M GETTING AT, NOOB? Sony does not waste money to bring out any old re-hash game on a system that is purposely made so cheap..that it's consumer is afraid to let the fan play for more than a 3 hour session. (The RROD thing is starting to get ridiculous, 3 YEARS AFTER LAUNCH!!) Sony makes a ton of games, from ALL genre's, which is why both the PS1 and PS2 dominated. NO matter what peopel try to write about, the PS3 is on pace to break even in March (When the "real 360 killing" $299 price comes out)...far quicker pace than the beloved 360....you know, with the loss of millions on the whole recall thing, and failed HD-DVD drive. NOW, HOW ABOUT YOU ENROLL IN MY VIDEO GAME MANAGEMENT & DEVELOPMENT COURSE, NEXT SEMESTER....YOU NOOB!!!

[pshizle]

killzone2 is not original

[shawnsl65]

so the author will complain about Sex is too repetitive, going in and out in and out. Oh wait.. this guy is still a virgin. Shoot, reload, shoot, reload, shoot.. that is how it works.

[heavensdevil]

this is fps, what did you expect? run, shoot, have a cup of coffee, a game of chess, chat on the internet, fly to the moon, then come back and cover, shoot advance.
all games follow a step of pattern, if you don't like that then it's the end of gaming for you.

[baodeus]

The problem is not the game. The problem is the fanboy overhype the game to where it has to innovate, godly, physic/graphic beyond CG or Crysis, why do you think it get judge so hard. Didn't you see what happen to Halo.

JUST PLAY THE FU#$K GAME FOR WHAT IT IS, STOP HYPING IT.

[GarandShooter]

There is no reason in hell a journalist (or someone pretending to be one) should be caught by the fanboy hype trap. True professionalism (and yes, I know it's glaringly absent on many internet sites) demands impartiality and the ability to isolate one's self from the hype.

[rTR-Pioneer]

this article is terrible, really, is this news for gamers? no, this is someone opinion, and a retarded one at that, trying as hard as it possibly can to pick apart a game, and failing at that too.

[Majors]

If you dont like it dont buy it simple....
But I will be buying (day 1 preorder :) ) and i Will enjoy it and thats all that matters. I dont care what anyone else thinks about it or gives it poor ratings and bad reviews, it dont matter coz im getting it. Poor ratings are normally created by envy and these people are gonna miss out on the greatest game this generation.
Unlucky..

[LFC1EE]

I really liked the demo and think this game is going to be brilliant but didn't like the controls.

... yeah, it's called WAR you f*cking idiot. Maybe GG should have put jetpacks in the game so you can safely fly your ass to the end of each level, or an invisibility cloak. No, no wait, the game does have particular objectives, and bosses that you have to use tactical skills to defeat in order to advance.

You don't sound like you hate Killzone 2, you sound like you hate FPS games in general. And if you don't think you're in its 'target demographic', then how in the hell does your opinion have any merit? Do yourself a favor and STFU... dipshit. You're embarrassing yourself and your website. That was FAR OFF from being a review of a demo. It was more of a random rant of a person that knows jack-sh!t about video games. Jerkoff.
