KillZone 2 Vs. KillZone 1: Gameplay Retrospective

Cinemablend writes:

"KillZone 2 Vs. KillZone 1: Gameplay Retrospective Guerrilla Games is still hard at work in finishing up the latest triple-A shooter for the PS3, KillZone 2. The game is due out in February of 2009. But considering that KZ2 is so close to its release and it has built up such a huge following, we thought it would be interesting to give gamers a little look back on what KillZone was, and a look at what KillZone 2 will be."

I thought Killzone 1 was an amazing shooter and I've been waiting for Killzone 2 ever since E3 '05. The wait is almost over =)

KZ1 was good except for the glitches. Since 2005 I've waited until this game to be released, I even participated in the public beta.

1.3 - can't believe all the sucking up to killzone 1
Just cause the second one is coming out. KZ1 wasn't a bad game, it wasn't great either.. still got that and the one for PSP which is better than one by the way and anxiously awaiting 2... KZ2 will be miles away from one. The only thing that remains the same from what i've seen of the new one is Rico's voice being just as annoying.

I love Killzone 1 and consider it my #1 FPS of all time. I can't count how many times I've replayed it because the gameplay was fun. It would be a crime to play KZ2 without first playing KZ1, and KZ:L.

It's a shame that the new wave of KZ2 fans weren't fans of the first KZ1. I can already anticipate the wave of whiners that say the story didn't make sense or that Rico sucked blah blah when they don't even know where Rico came from to begin with.

KZ1 WAS excellent. It got raped by the media just because it wasn't a Halokiller, a phrase the media themselves made up, not Sony or GG.

It like a movie critic saying the next Bond (or Xmen, Spielberg, Starwars etc) flick will be the best movie ever made, and then having the nerve to be upset with the movie when it simply turns out to be very good.

I clearly remember the media was the ones who gave KZ the term "Halo Killer"...

I loved the 1st KZ...and I might just play it again a few days b4 KZ2 comes out...just to refresh the story in my mind..XD

Makes me think, everyone says the hardware of ps2 couldn't handle killzone 1.

Would a bc compatible ps3 make killzone 1 look that much better?

Looks the same except upcaling and smoothing. All the glitches are still present and correct.
Don't get me wrong. It is not a bad game just like haze was not a bad game. Just when KZ1 came out, it just was not up there.

If Sony had funded KZ development im sure the game would have turned out much better than it did "it wasn't a bad game though"..

I played kilzone 1 and thought it was garbage, probably cause I played halo and half-life 2 and call of duty at the time as well. Kilzone 2 will be amazing, because its nothing like original, and everything of the best shooters out there.

8 - KZ1 was
awesome looking but never really did anything in terms of gameplay....
example
PS2 would not allow for changing of a level. When you died and replayed a level it was the SAME thing. PPL came from the same spot at the same point on the map. It was like a trigger. Walk to the ladder and bring on the horde. Cross this road and let the kills begin. It was like they put a line on every level and when you crossed it the same thing would happen!
game was on total rails! So are most FPS's thou

This game will blow the doors of the PS2 KZ
count on it

OUT

i agree. KZ1 was had some good concept but they failed to deliver. It was just not right time and hardware.
Now, on the other hand KZ2 is looking best FPS period.

8.2 - What about COD4...?
Cod 4 is exactly the same and it still got very high reviews...! It's really nothing to whine about because almost every fps has this problem...

10 - Killzone 1 was awesome except for the following:
- melee made the AI go stupid.

- Worst. Sniper. Rifle. EVER.

- On The shuttle level, sometimes the switch that let you into the shuttle didn't work, keeping you on the stage and forcing you to reset to play possibly the hardest level in that game over again.

- The Helghast rifle/machine-gun was an excellent concept, but you could only load one gunshot shell at a time with auto-reloading on the spot: which on the multiplayer, meant insta-death if you missed.

The great things:

- The music was some of the best in a last-gen game. The only games that are equal are Halo, Star Wars games, god of war games, and Castlevania games.

- The story was one of the better writing on games last gen.

- The cinematography was pretty good.

- The AI was pretty good, and would do things like go to the other side if pinned-down in a spot, and would shoot in groups or even out the gunfire on multiple targets. If K1 was co-op, it would've been awesome, but since your allies can't die, the point is missed on most people.

- The levels were impressively large for a PS2 game. You would expect games on the first XboX to be so big and detailed instead of the flimsy PS2.

- Multiplayer is pretty good. I (still) play as DED if anyone remembers killing me a bunch of times on there. You still have people playing on it, so if you rent/buy Killzone 1, don't bother to go on. Those people have that game honed to perfection. You're just a stain waiting to happen to them.

All in all, I'd get it if you can. I bought mine and didn't regret it. The good far outweighs the bad.

But in truth, I liked Halo 1 better. Halo 1 was a classic.

Halo 2 and 3 let me down, but still the halo series is not bad at all. :D

To say that killzone 2 will be bad because killzone 1 was is stupid. If I remember correctly the GTA series wasn't held on a pedestal until Rockstar went 3d in GTA3. A lot of improvements have been made over the original. The ai has improved, the bugs are nearly non-existent, and they've added a lot more to the online portion. They've basically fixed everything that was wrong with the original while adding more content.

I liked Halo 1.

But i didn't like the enemy, they looked kinda childish, all colourful etc. and making stupid noises.

Other then that, was a good game.
