TVGB: CES 09 Hands-on / Killzone 2

TVGB writes: "I hated the original Killzone on PS2. I thought it was a boring, run-of-the-mill FPS with horribly linear level design, so-so graphics and a story that couldn't hold me even if it would've cuddled afterwards. Killzone: Liberation for PSP, on the other hand, was an amazing action experience that I so desperately wanted to see super-sized to play with the big boys in HD land as Killzone 2. To say Killzone 2 had the odds stacked against it would be an understatement and nothing short of it delivering me rainbows and sunshine could make it better. Here's where I admit defeat. Also, I'm kind of a d**k.

What I'm about to say is very bold and will no doubt have some of you calling me bad names: Killzone 2 is the best looking console game ever. I say it completely without exaggeration because it's true and I love you too much to lie."

I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this, but all you guys out there waiting for review(s) go suck a fat one. I understand those waiting to try out a demo, rent even, but a review from someone who may not have anything positive to add to what you may experience if you just get the damn thing? I say if you played the first Killzone and/or Liberation, then you should by all means get K2. Even if you haven't played K1 or Liberation....... don't let someone else decide for you.. Besides if they have already experienced it "hence the review" Why shouldn't you.

Ju5608d ago

Huh ? Did you read the article ?

It closes, quote:

"With a 10-15 hour single-player campaign, multiplayer modes with mission objectives, bots, classes and experience points, I’m super, super excited for Killzone 2 to hit us in the face and pants this February. I saw its face, now I’m a believer."

Elimin85608d ago

My comment was a response to some of the comments from the "gamers" waiting for X amount of reviews to decide whether they get the game or not... and yes I did read the article.....My point still stands..

deathray5608d ago

and you need an attitude adjustment. I wait for reviews and demos (lots of them) because $60 is a lot of money to put out for a game if it sucks. I preordered KZ2, however. It's gonna pwn.

Ace_Shooter5608d ago (Edited 5608d ago )

his point isn't stupid. Why would you base your opinion of a game on someone elses review more than your own??? Yeah SOME reviews do have a legitimate reason as to why the game sucks BUT imo if a review site gives a certain game a '10', that doesn't mean YOU will enjoy it just as much.

Edit: demos do help with a decision ;)

Any true PS3 Fan that doesn't buy this day one, needs a head check. This is the defining moment for the PS3. Be there to make gaming history, Killzone 2 is going to raise the bar for console shooters.

Be a part of it guys, go get this awesome shooter.

Zip5608d ago

so did the reviewers say about lbp, gta 4 ect. this time I am going to hold my horses and wait for REAL peoples unpenions, or hell even wait for a demo.

yoghurt5608d ago

^^ I think from my point of view its safe to say i'm not waiting for anyones opinions, I am getting this game regardless. If you want real people opinions head over to neogaf or the killzone forums and check out peoples thoughts on the MP beta, that in itself is enough, let alone the hands on comments from people who have played the single player.

GrieverSoul5608d ago

The best opinion you can find is your own!

Opinions are like penises! Evereyone has one, each one is diferent from the other and guys lie about it! XD

The best thing to do is buy the game! Try it for 2 or 3 days, if you like it, keep it, if you dont, sell for 10 maybe 20 euros less than it costed you. At least you tryied it yourself and have no regrets or doubts about trying it or not.

Torch5608d ago (Edited 5608d ago )

"Opinions are like penises! Evereyone has one..."

I certainly hope not! If that ever does happen, please kindly shoot me dead.

Twice. ;)

But until then, KZ2 will remain on the forefront of my beloved, expanding PS3 library.

SL1M DADDY5608d ago

I have to say that where I am from, we have these beings called "woman" and they sir, do not have penises... Well, not all of them anyway.

GrieverSoul5608d ago (Edited 5608d ago )

U guys know what I mean! ; )

From now on I will say every guy has one!

SL1M DADDY5608d ago

You could just say that opinions are like butt-holes. Everybody does have one of those. ;-)

deathray5608d ago

you could stop daydreaming about them.

Traveler5608d ago

I do like to read reviews to get an idea about a game, but in the end I use my own judgment. After all, Uncharted was given average scores by some reviewers but it turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time.

phews8015608d ago

support our system regardless what critics say its up to us to make it a hit!!!
so sony can keep pushing the next gen even further....

Fishy Fingers5608d ago

I have no intention of buying/supporting anything that I dont think is of quality.

But GG have gained my upmost admiration. My time with the beta has obliterated any chance of me playing R2, Gears 2 or COD4/5 again. They simply dont match up to KZ in any way. So with all that considered, GG will get my money for anything with Killzone 2 in the title.

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-ro74d ago

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

darthv7274d 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_74d ago

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

Cacabunga74d ago

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

Profchaos74d ago (Edited 74d 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

seanpitt2374d 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!

Iceball200074d ago

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

Father__Merrin74d ago

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

InUrFoxHole74d ago

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

Marcus Fenix74d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198974d ago

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

1Victor74d ago (Edited 74d 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 😱

Michiel198974d ago

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

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

1Victor378d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar378d ago

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

jznrpg378d ago

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

badz149377d 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!

Vengeance1138378d 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 Kim378d ago

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

VersusDMC378d 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?

Vengeance1138378d ago

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

solideagle378d 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.

Phoenix76378d 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

REDGUM378d ago

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

thesoftware730378d ago (Edited 378d 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.

blacktiger378d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca378d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal378d ago

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

Imalwaysright378d 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."

shinoff2183750d ago

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

shinoff2183750d 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

badz149749d 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.
