Yes I said it, Killzone 2 is better than Metal Gear Solid 4. Perhaps this is just because I like running and gunning more than stealth, but that's a completely different argument.
To start things off, the gameplay in Killzone is brilliant. The storyline is captivating and everything was just strung together very nicely. The plot just kept me guessing from the Corinth River all the way to Visari's Palace. The graphics are near-that or equal to that of MGS4. Killzone also gets a boost in my book because the cut-scenes looked just as good, and weren't like 10 minutes each. I was astounded by the graphics even with all the hype.
Before we move on anymore, I would like to discuss two bad things about Killzone I have heard.
1. The "lag" on the controllers.
THERE IS NO LAG PEOPLE! We're all so used to the perfect Call of Duty controls where you can move your axis wherever you want at any given time, but in Killzone it's much more realistic. Also, instead of complaining, just turn up the controller sensitivity. It's really not that big of a deal.
2. The friendly AI sucks.
Are people seriously complaining about this? Are you supposed to be able to win this game without much help from the friendly AI? I mean, on my play through, the AI was very good for what I expected. I think this might have just been results of the demo, because in the actual game I thought the AI were very helpful. However, you shouldn't need that much help from them in the first place.
Now, me personally, I have found nothing too wrong with Killzone yet. I guess I could say that the loading screens have made me mad sometimes, as it will pause my game for a good 30 seconds every now and then, but it's not that big of a deal. The game makes up for that with it's stunning gameplay and graphics.
Another great thing about Killzone is the multiplayer, not to mention the rumored co-op DLC. The online multiplayer has potential to be near that of COD4. I don't think any online multiplayer except maybe COD Modern Warfare 2 has the chance to reach that of COD4, but Killzone should provide quite the experience.
To sum up this review, there isn't anything WRONG with Killzone, and that's what makes it so good. It is so technically sound that it makes up for anything it lacks. I think a lot of gamers have just been looking for a shooter with nearly no flaws, and this is it. This and MGS4 (from what I have played).
And for the record, I do believe MGS4 WAS the greatest game on the PS3. Right now though, and this may just be because I just recently finished it, Killzone has overtaken MGS4 as the best game in my opinion. But who knows, maybe God of War III will end up taking the cake in the end?
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
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."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
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.
