"Without a doubt Killzone 2 is the best FPS on the PS3 to date."

I'm sorry, but no. I'm playing through it now to try and get ready for KZ3 and some of the shooting is really poor. I can take my time and aim and try and pop bullets into enemies and nothing happens. I then free-shoot from terrible angles behind cover and I get the kill. The game looks stunning and so much fun but if the shooting is off in an FPS then the whole game is going to suffer.

Mista T5148d ago

I agree, basically everyone bought it cause "omg teh graphics"

Nate-Dog5148d ago (Edited 5148d ago )

@Paradise: Fair enough, to each their own, but do you honestly think KZ2 is the best FPS out there on the PS3?

FragGen5148d ago (Edited 5148d ago )

@paradise:
Total Agreement KZ2 is probably my favorite single player FPS of all-time (#2 == COD4). People whine about the guns because they are morons and can't shoot. The main p"problem" with the KZ2 guns is that they feel way more realistic to me than the laser guns in COD/BFBC2 or anything else and most lazyboy FPS Rambos can't handle it.

On top of that the multi-player is WAY underrated. I have about forty games for my PS3 and I'd say KZ2 is hovering in the top 3.

It's almost a shame the graphics are so astonishing because it's kept people from recognizing that there is even more to love about that game.

Pennywise5148d ago

I like KZ2. I also like Resistance 2... but MY fav is MAG by far.

Megaton5148d ago (Edited 5148d ago )

I have yet to try MAG, but I've got a friend who bought that game and a PS3 in January, and he's pretty much played nothing but that ever since. He wasn't even a huge FPS fan to begin with.

FragGen5148d ago

MAG sucks dog balls. They're basically rewriting it because it's failing so hard. The player base fell apart at an astonishing rate and as a "massive" multiuplayer only game with not enough players to sustain the ginormous modes (256 player), it has become a total trainwreck.

Zipper is doing a "beta" of the new version of it next week (beta free with retail game purchase LOL) to try to reboot the thing.

As someone who got it day one and has logged quite bit of time on it in its early days as a clan member, it's a mess.

Nykamari5148d ago

No you CODbabies cried about MAG! MAG is the BEST FPS OUT! Sit and learn the gameplay mechanics you'll see! This gen is full of players whom want everyhing eazy! Penny hit a brother up let's go hunting in MAG together psn: nykamari.

u suck in kz2 mp, doesnt mean game is bad.

" omg i cant shoot, where the heck is auto aim, i want blitz l1,r1 killssssssssssss"

Mista T5148d ago

typical excuse, if a game is fun, it shouldn't matter you go 5-20 k/d or 20-5 k/d.

Timesplitters series is great example where fun factor is #1.

CBaoth5148d ago (Edited 5148d ago )

No secret Free Radical made TS, but now since they're under Crytek's umbrella, they've been handling the MP for C2. I've read several glowing previews of the MP portion too. Confined layouts like CoD's but vertical like UC2 lead to intense firefights and a good balance.

Megaton5148d ago (Edited 5148d ago )

Madness. The multiplayer in KZ2 was a lot of fun. I get that a lot of the bitching and moaning comes from people who couldn't handle the different controls, but come on. That's on you. I love class-based multi in FPS, and I loved how game types were cycled mid-match in KZ2.

Even plain old body count at Radec Academy was a blast, win or lose. Watching each team storm the other's base, or clash halfway in the courtyard. Pure fun.

Mista T5148d ago

somebody marked me for trolling above, if you disagree with me, press the disagree button, don't cry so hard that you go far into right field and report for trolling.

Chocoburger6d ago

He's so excited to layoff more employees for FAKE STUPIDITY computer programing to replace them.

Hopefully EA takes a nosedive just like Ubisoft is currently doing. Lack of money is the only thing that can hurt them and possibly change them.

DarXyde5d ago

Knowing EA, I think they're more likely to sell their games cheaper or make Access the only way to play their titles than change course. They seem committed to destroying their labour force.

And the sad part here is that the proof of concept is there, where games can be made using AI.

I hate to say it, but those working in the gaming industry might be cooked. And unfortunately, I'm doubting most people will care as long as they get games they want. EA would absolutely dangle Dead Space 4 or a new Burnout in front of us, developed with AI. I wouldn't take it, but I think most fans would.

CantThinkOfAUsername5d ago

If AI does a better job then yeah why not? Though, I have massive doubts it will. If developers aren't willing to put effort in their games then they shouldn't be surprised that they're replaceable.

Chocoburger5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Damn, a new Burnout, don't even bring that up. It hurts just to read those words.

The indie scene is massive theses days, but the big budget scene is mostly trash. I wouldn't mind to see these big publishers suffer or crumble away.

But that can only happen when the casual gamer stops buying yearly roster updates or whatever garbage is marketed to them on TV.

DarXyde5d ago

CantThinkOfAUsername,

I disagree. I don't believe the developers are at fault here. I would think those people don't like what EA is doing, but it's EA and they have tremendous power in the industry. Not everyone has the leadership qualities to peel off and form their own company. Add to the fact that falling out of grace with EA might just be an industry kiss of death. These people don't have any power, so I really don't agree with saying they're not willing to put in the effort.

thorstein5d ago

Now we just need to develop AI CEO and sell it to the board of trustees.

staticall5d ago

Hopefully, the only people who're going to be replaced by an AI are Andrew Wilson and his top management goons.

TheNamelessOne6d ago

And EA games aren't at the core of my purchases.

XiNatsuDragnel6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Lmfao ea needs to do an ubisoft rn

ApocalypseShadow6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Of course it is. EA has been lazy for years. Profiting for investors and themselves without putting in the work. Having AI write code or build graphics for them just makes them even more lazy.

I'd laugh if those same investors built "executive code" and got rid of EA's CEO and board of directors and replaced them with AI.

ohh god, here we go!

This is exactly why the gaming industry is failing. It's now an industry of suits "trying to find the fun".

...I'll help you out a little, If you're trying to find it, then it's not fun and neither are you. move on!

LucasRuinedChildhood6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I disagree, tbh. I definitely wouldn't classify Vince Zampella as a soulless suit. It's kind of an acknowledgement that Battlefield fell off which is why they had to bring him in in the first place. He's probably the best shot EA has of making this franchise fun again.

From a software development perspective, what I read in the article of Zampella's approach of being able to easily playtest and iterate from early on in development is a good thing. That's likely a big part of why his COD games and Titanfall were so fun.

PapaBop5d ago

Calling Zampella a suit lol! People like Zampella are the half suits if you will, they bridge the gap between art and business. Suits don't care how fun a game is, they only care about profit margins.

Markdn5d ago

It's people like you that's ruining the gaming platform, negativity already before it's even dropped

Noskypeno5d ago

20 years ago, Bungie used to have the motto "making games we want to play", if the devs are having fun it's a good sign it's going to be an enjoyable experience. If the devs are worried about shareholders, quotas, fitting in with current trends and trying to make a small percentage of the population happy, it's not an encouraging sign.

if u need to "find the fun", thats a huge problem lol

Redgrave5d ago

This rings a bit like they might be looking for a good, long while

Relientk775d ago

Do they actually mean fun, or "surprise mechanics" and ways to monetize?

EazyC5d ago

Honestly, get them to sit down and play Bad Company 2 together.

If they can't see why that had the magic, they shouldn't be game developers.

Clicked to say exactly this. They set themselves up for disappointing failure.

Cacabunga51d ago

When i hear them say this sounds like they keep surpassing themselves… just backwards..

micro transactions, always online, no SP campaign.. everything that makes me🤮

RaidenBlack52d ago

It ain't Bad Company 3 ... so stop false-promising ... but make it current-gen only plz ... it'll be 2025 ffs

blacktiger52d ago

damn! I was about that dream thing

Chocoburger52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

More intentionally released broken games with micro-trash-actions, and of course fake apologies written by ChatGPT instead of doing it yourself because you don't give a crap if you sell people garbage for their hard earned money.

Ass.

Seth_hun52d ago

They are always saying this, with every title. :)

Bebedora52d ago

EA is the superior do not doubt them. They are Canadian,

Snookies1252d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Isn't that the whole point of having a "series" of games? Isn't the follow-up supposed to be inherently better or "more ambitious" than the previous entries? Unfortunately, this has not been the case for Battlefield in quite some time. I've still never even redeemed the free BF 2042 code I got a year and a half ago lol. Such a shame, used to be one of my favorite shooters back in the day.

Bebedora52d ago

You just need colurs and some rainbows. Anything will work. BF was killed once EA got their filthy paws over it, like the monkeys they are.
