Gamer.blorge: Review: Killzone 2 - the best looking game this generation

Gamer.blorge: According to the dictionary, a kill zone is defined as an area of heavy casualties in a military conflict or war. This is also known as the killing zone. True to its name, Killzone 2 succeeds in creating the intense visceral experience of war, where you find yourself in the middle of an intense firefight. During the battle, many of your men will be dying left and right against an onslaught of enemies.

I applaud Guerrilla Games for not only meeting the target render, but for surpassing it on many levels. Details such as the sweat glistening off Rico's forehead, terrific lighting and detailed textures like on the floor of the air-lift, all show that Guerrilla Games went through the game with a fine tooth comb to make it better than the target render.

Killzone 2 not only raises the bar with the visuals, but also creates a new genre of cover-based FPS. Since the game managed to show the world that a FPS can have a cover system, I predict that there will be more FPS games with a cover system intact. Keep an eye out for my review of the online portion of the game.

totaly true...

agree or not than me?

jammy_705539d ago

this on meta?

might be getting this tmoro!!! cannon not WAIT!!

moses5539d ago

Crysis Warhead ring a bell? Everyone forgets PC's still actually have games.

cryymoar5539d ago (Edited 5539d ago )

yeah, we forgot how much we want to spend $2000 on a machine to run a single game that only has graphics and really nothing else and that I am unable to play with my friends because they don't have $2000 to spend on a similar machine either.

moses5539d ago

My bad, sorry I forgot that it only takes 600$ to build a PC able to run Crysis(as well as the largest library of games) on high settings.

thewhoopimen5539d ago (Edited 5539d ago )

oh right, i want to buy a $600 pc for one game. nice! </sarcasm>

kickaski5539d ago

A $600 rig will produce visuals inferior to Killzone 2, i have a expensive PC myself and i have to say that Crysis is completely overrated, all quantity and not enough quality.

Qorious5539d ago

It's a great looking game, but I'm sure games that will come out this generation will eventually exceed Killzone 2's visuals. *cough God of War 2! cough*

LarVanian5539d ago

You mean "God of War 3" lol

sephy 9 2 55539d ago

plays the MP basically all the reviews that matter will be out. Finally can enjoy the game and move on.

molsen815539d ago

According to the pics in this review, the game actually looks better than the so called render debut a few years ago. This contradicts those claims that the actual game didn't match the debut trailer. But we should know by now that critics will find something about the game to complain about. This review does not fall in that category and is pretty decent.

DelbertGrady5539d ago

And best playing. It brings so many cool gameplay mechanics to the table.

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

badz149353d 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.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183725d ago

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

shinoff2183725d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149725d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
