Does Killzone 2 take Call of Duty 4's Crown?

It only took me two hours to come to the conclusion that Call of Duty 4 was finally trumped as king. My decision based upon writing this article fell only on the reason that I want every FPS fan to play this game. If you do not have a Playstation 3, and you love FPS, now is the best time to go ahead and pick one up, along with a copy of Killzone 2.

Don't care for someone's opinion or a site...don't read it.

If you really care about the quality of N4G, then go to another site.

If you want to prioritize your opinion over someone else's, get a lobotomy.

Ooops! You already have one?

Stop being a jerk.

Agreed, CoD 4 (as I think CoD 5 is both technically and gamplay-wise inferior to its predecessor despite having been developed using the same engine) is a quick, twitch shooter that plays easily enough without consideration for more advanced tactics.

Killzone 2 is bigger, more strategic and an overall more developed shooter.

It depends on what mood you're in, all I know is there's room for both KZ2 and CoD4:MW2 in my heart and in my PS3 come November.

BUBBLES FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!!!

What I hate most about this site is the double standard on what is journalism and blatant fanboyism.

That is what killing N4G.

We are all informed by opinions as much as facts, people. How dense can you be not to understand that - such is the realm for reviews, blogs and the like. Very, very few articles are purely the facts, and they shouldn't be.

5 - I'm undecided, there's something about K2 that I can't get my head around but they are both on a level of their own this gen.
IMO they have both set a high benchmark for other FPS.

I racked up a total of 26 hours of online game time within the first 3 days of getting the game, plus the 6 - 7 hours i racked up offline. It took me months to get that much on CoD4.

So in my personal opinion, yes. But will it be as popular as CoD4 even if we just count the PS3 version? Nope - unfortunatly not, even if everyone liked the controls (I love them) it wouldn't do it.

Killzone 2 is the best shooter. But try telling that to the millions of people who have spent hundreds and Hundreds of dollars on a different system and you're not going to get many people who agree. At least not on the internet anyway because if you look around the internet the majority of video game websites are pretty full with pro 360 comments. This site does seem unusually high with Sony supporters and I'll be honest that's one of the reasons I'm here. No point in trying to talk to the group at other sites where it's just the blind leading the blind.

Simple answer.... No

Because Call of Duty doesnt have a crown to take.... depending on peoples tastes... they will like all sorts of FPS games.....

Halo, CoD, Rainbow, Killzone... they all bring something to the table and it comes down to personal preference...

On a sales basis.... Halo is king... since it sells 8 + mill on 1 console... which is ridiculous..... CoD... its on 3 platforms and love by millions as well... and bridges the gap between PS3, PC and 360...

Rainbow is more for the tactical gamer that can handle a slowed down 1 shot your dead style of game...

Killzone is another fun FPS to play... borrows a little from a lot of games and also bring some of its own flavour... it will prob not be as popular as some franchises... but that doesnt mean its not a really good game...

Anyway... what im trying to say is for FPS games..... its a lot about preference... no crowns involved.

11 - Here's the real story
If you have a PS3, buy Killzone 2.

If you bought it and didn't like it, at least you tried it.

If you have an Xbox 360 and not a PS3. Do yourself a favor, buy a PS3 for Killzone 2, you will not be disappointed.

Alot of the Xbox Fanboys are knocking it before they have even tried it. Trust us when we say this game is amazing and if you don't like the aiming please don't be a cry baby, be cause there's over eighty thousand individuals who can say otherwise on the leader boards.

12 - KZ2 is an exclusive that as a franchise doen't have much franchise power as some other exclusives..
All thanks to the Original version and the lack or Sony marketing.

But COD 4 is a game that has a much stronger legs and the franchise is more well known. Of course thanks to the fact that, more people get to enjoy the game, being a multiplatform title.

I doubt we will see KZ 6, 7, 8 and I'll bet you we see another COD title.
Compare this game as a whole with other blockbuster exclusive shooters, then we can get a feel for how strong it's legs are..

why won't we see a KZ6?

with KZ2 making up for the shortcomings of the original and sales reportedly being very strong... there's no reason why Sony won't perpetuate the series to compete with Halo and COD

i personally prefer the look and feel of KZ to COD (i love the weight) so i think KZ2 has overtaken COD and will continue to excel with KZ3, 4, 5, 6 and further

13.2 - My point exactly!! which is why you guys should take your opinions (comments) and post them in the blog sections
Because thats all you guys are spewing. 99 percent of the fud and articles posted on N4G are all opinions pieces, If it doesn't favor your opinion then you behave like this. pelase be fair and stop with teh double standard hipocracy play... you look like a freakin douche behind the protection of the internet...

Everyone is entitled to there opinions and they will continue to voice it. This is a social networking WEB FORUM under the Moniker NEWs for gamners where informative opinions and facts are posted daily if you haven't notice by now, the sight has been built on this philosophy since it launched back in 2005 as Xbox360today/PS3today.com if you don't like the opinion articles... voice it and move the f*ck on... or simply skip right over it and look at something else in YOUR OPINION YOU believe is News worthy. :)

Opinions have been and are totally worthy of being posted on N4G (that's what the whole category for Article is for).

As for what forms the basis of an opinion, it's usually a factual basis and an ability to deduce observations, even relevant predictions and trends from those facts. The journalist may have extensive experience with the game, and well-versed with the FPS genre. HHG hasn't always followed this routine, but you can't judge a site's rep based on a few articles. Alternatively, you say an article is bad because you feel the site is bad.

If the writer for this story is saying CoD4's multi-player has been bested by Killzone 2's and he has extensive experience with both, then it constitutes a relevant opinion. If he words it in too a discomforting manner for you, that's your problem.

15.1 - Ah... NO
HHG wasn't writing an article to start a flame war. If that had been his intention he would have done a Halo 3 comparison or some other 360 exclusive. COD is cross platform, that means it IS on the PS3. This is just his opinion saying he finally found a game that will take him away from COD4. So why dont you just grow a pair and except that there actually can be a great FPS on the PS3, not necessarily better than Halo 3 (although in my opinion it is better), but just a great FPS.

My personal opinion i'd give KZ2 the graphics and the gameplay i'd give COD the story an the MP mode .. KZ needs to work on the story i beated the game and the story is really weak and stupid totally am dissapointed its like playing without story which is really bad i enjoyed COD4 and COD5 cuz they had a gr8 story but with KZ it was a miserbale story though the game is gr8 .

21 - I prefer Killzone 2 over COD4, i kinda agree with his article
The multiplayer is amazing and very addictive;), i really like the futuristicatmosphere combined with gorgeous visuals, so IMO Killzone 2 is better.

But i was never a big fan of the COD series , the games are very good offcourse, i also didn't like QUAKE years ago and other people were in love with that game..

For me Killzone 2 was much better that any Cod game i've played, didn't like Cod4 at all, I actually like Cod:WAW more (i'm more interested in that time period.) Killzone is one of the best games i've ever played and i'm loving the MP. Just my opinion though.
