Gamervision Hands-On Killzone 2

Gamervision:

''Yes, Killzone 2 is beautiful, that shouldn't be shocking at this point. Even in its "pre-alpha" state, which is unfinished, glitchy, and has plenty of graphical issues, the game has the best visuals this console generation. When compared to games like Far Cry 2 and Crysis, Killzone 2 stands tall and has amazingly high-resolution textures and character models.

Gameplay is another story. Killzone 2 doesn't feel bad, exactly, but it also doesn't play much better than the original. The controller has a strange layout which feels off, and while the game looks like it should be amazing, shortcomings in pacing and gameplay prevent it from being anything but mediocre.''

Hilarious! Another teenage Xbox fan's blog with the standard "yeah KZ2 looks amazing, but what about teh gameplay' talking points.

This game must absolutely terrify them.

And your original name just happened to be "Nasim Detective"? Talk about multiple accounts.

As wrong as he sometimes is, at the very least he's on topic this time.
Something you couldn't say, now could you?

On Topic:
The truth of the matter is you (maybe) froze a playable "piece" of a game. We're not even really sure what stage of development that was from.
Oh, and why is there not a single video cut from before the freeze? Just wondering...

decapitator5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

Another Hey look, "Isn't my blog teh awesome !1!!!!1" site. I think people(haters) are just scared that, their worse fears are coming true and that is, Killzone 2 becoming a really good game whiles retaining its beauty through out.

Ahh, whatever Fanboys will be fanboys.

EDIT: The sites names is gamervision ??? Orly ? More like fanboyvision.

xJxdOggyStYLe5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

great we got another "haze" and "lair" on our hands
hyped to death by sony fan fellas....and...well...as always a big let down..BUT BUT its still way to early to tell if this is goin to be great or a let down..so we should just leave this alone until its closer launch time..will there be anything other then mgs4 thats good on ps3...ugg...little big planet i hope u come through

C_SoL5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

Let em hate......We PS3 owners know what to expect.....

One of the greatest FPS's of all time.

Spydiggity5775d ago

i agree. we ps3 owners know what to expect. and as a ps3 owner i can safely say that i expect it to be a let down. every game gets overhyped by the fanboys and ya'll always say "we know it's going to be amazing" and yet, it rarely ever is.

I look forward to this game too, and i'm willing to wait til we're closer to launch to make my final judgment, but don't act all high n mighty about being a ps3 owner because so far the majority of the games haven't even come close to living up to their hype.

CrazzyMan5775d ago

so, in next 5 months, people will be able by themselves to decide is gameplay great or not.) Well, atleast they will know, do they like multiplayer or not.))

And if people will like it, then KZ2 will sell 10 mln. on PS3, no matter what reviewers will say. =)

sonarus5775d ago

Multiplayer will be awesome but everyone really seems to be hating on this game. Some will say level design is crappy but A.I. is good. Others will say A.I. is crappy but level design is good. Overall i really don't see anything wrong with the level design but the A.I. just seems too easy. I love a game with a challenge but its still only the first level so its too soon to judge. Worst case scenario the game will end up with a couple of 8's and 9's but it will certainly be better than the original

Dino5775d ago

I can't wait to get my hands on the final version.

TheExecutive5775d ago

From what I understand of the controls, the shoot button is R1, L2 is the iron sights, to take cover is L1, the run button is L3, and the jump button is "x". (Can I get this confirmed? Sev?)

The control layout doesnt seem too "strange" to me? anyone else think thats a strange layout?

PooPooPlatter5775d ago

Of course not. This is just another 21 year old Xbox fan trashing Killzone 2 in his blog.

Report this garbage and keep it off this site.

Fishy Fingers5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

I imagine most would prefer to have the fire and the iron sights as apposing triggers, ie, R1 & L1. Still this is why they have "controller configuration" in games.

BulletToothtony5775d ago

in Killzone1 you can custumize ALL of your buttons... i believe this has been confirmed as well in the Killzone forums...

you can change any buttons.. you can shoot with L3 if that makes you happy.... so the whole the controller feels weird well.. it's not an issue...

And i think we can all agree that every time we watch a killzone video the gameplay looks pretty good... if watching it looks good i don't know how playing it would be worse.

To me this is just another blogger with nothing else to do than try to trash a game that is not in his console of choice.. i mean even the sites that hate the ps3 are starting to change the way they preview games.. eventually the hate for the ps3 will stop.. it is inevitable.. and will completely stop when it hits around $ 250.

mfwahwah5775d ago

Ooh, Iron sites with L2 and fire with R1, that sounds so crazy but I just picked up my controller to see how it would feel, and it's not all that bad. I can't wait to try that in-game to really know though :D.

Meus Renaissance5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

I welcome criticism but some of the words used, such as "mediocre" was over the top - your basically saying the game looks great but plays horribly beyond belief. I read the preview a few times and genuinely got the impression that whoever wrote this game was just looking for faults in it to hype about.

"But I’d like to think that an entire day’s worth of press and media missed out on recording footage of one of the PlayStation 3’s biggest games because I FROZE IT"

What's he trying to say, he kicked and dismissed the game because it wasn't good enough for his hands? Raw. Someone should tell him Gears of War 2 crashed on stage, but that doesn't matter. Why should it? It's in development yet this preview seems to mock the entire game because of how "mediocre" it is.

NintendoWTF5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

"your basically saying the game looks great but plays horribly beyond belief"

That is the standard Xbox fan Killzone 2 meme that gets posted every single day in every Killzone 2 thread.

I guess it is an attempt to say hey look if I say nice things about the graphics I can go right ahead an rip apart the game and I will still appear balanced.

I don't know why Xbox fans are so damn scared of this game that they feel the need to put so much effort into trying to trash it. It isn't going to stop anyone from enjoying or buying the game.

Jinxstar5775d ago

DAMN YOU NASIM!!!!

On topic this game looks good. Can't wait for full details.

NintendoWTF5775d ago

It is a sickening blog posts from diehard Xbox fans scared out of their minds over Killzone 2 that makes you think of what an incredible console generation this would be if there were no 360 this gen.

You don't see Sony/Playstation fans writing blogs, getting jobs at review sites so they can rubbish Nintendo Wii games, you don't see Sony fans making fake sales sites like vgchartz to inflate PS3 sales and undercount Wii sales.

And you don't see Nintendo/Wii fans from doing likewise.

Sure PS3 fans make fun of waggle and the fact that the Wii is essentially another GameCube but they are perfectly happy with Wii owners playing their games and getting high review scores when deserved.

And Wii fans make fun of the high price of the PS3 and that you don't need all that power to have fun playing games. But they are likewise perfectly happy to let PS3 owners enjoy their games and feel no need to get jobs rubbishing PS3 games.

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-ro64d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7264d 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_64d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga64d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos64d ago (Edited 64d 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

seanpitt2364d 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!

Iceball200064d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin64d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole64d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix64d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198964d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor64d ago (Edited 64d 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 😱

Michiel198964d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar368d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor368d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar368d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg368d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149368d 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!

Vengeance1138368d 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 Kim368d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC368d 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?

Vengeance1138368d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle368d 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.

Phoenix76368d 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

REDGUM368d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730368d ago (Edited 368d 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.

blacktiger368d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca368d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy368d ago (Edited 368d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal368d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright368d 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."

shinoff2183740d ago

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

shinoff2183740d 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

badz149740d 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.
