Relax, Killzone 2 review embargo lifts in February

With a great deal of hype following Killzone 2, it may just be the most anticipated game to hit 2009. Many of the sites in Europe have started to receive their review codes already and the initial impressions are good. However, don't get your hopes up on seeing a review of the game this month as there is an embargo on it.

tut tut... posting a review of half a game in pre-alpha

POGfinder5594d ago

MGS4 -4/5
L4D -3/5
GTA4 -3/5
Gears 2- 4/5
Resistance 2 - 4/5
COD - 4/5
Dead Space - 3/5

OPM UK and US both gave KZ2 5/5
Ofcourse KZ2 will get a few <10 scores here and there but most credible websites will give it 10/10 or near perfect scores

thereapersson5594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

What's even sadder were all the 360 trolls in that article, just waiting to call this game a "failure" because the level of jealousy over this game knows no boundaries.

They didn't see the crappy reviews the site gave other high-profile games; they didn't realize the fact that the site didn't even review the final code. No, they saw the 4/5, and instantly cried "FLOP".

Behavior like that from ANYONE, whether they're a PS3, 360 or Wii fanboy, is inexcusable; those people deserve a "gamer status: revoked" badge.

Utterly ridiculous.

Bazookajoe_835594d ago

I was pretty certain that they had an old build, i mean it´s local newspaper on 50 pages who has 1 shared page with reviews of movies and games..

POGfinder5594d ago

If u dont like the story then take some chill pills cuz come feb 4th 2008 it will get nasty for you and your consoles

solidworm5594d ago

will i be disapointed,........hope not

Foxgod5594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

I am a 360 fan, i donth ave a ps3, however even i believe Killzone 2 will not fail.

Thats like claiming in 2008 that GeOW 2 will fail.
It will not fail.

Gambit075594d ago

I'm sensing an eventual 92 on meta.

LeonSKennedy4Life5594d ago

The critics won't let it get that high.

Microsoft has too much to lose here.

POGfinder5594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

cuz most of us played the BETA and based on it --its the best MP game ever

when it comes to KZ2 reviews wont matter but i just hope that american websites maintain their integrity

Ofcourse it is a PS3 game so expect some <10 reviews but that wont affect its sales

If the reviewers take an unbiased stance on KZ2 then expect KZ2 to score around 96% at meta

but anyway reviews dont count but i have a feeling that reviewers MIGHT BECOME UNBIASED for this game

die_fiend5594d ago

Y does everyone think this game is going to get less than it should in it's reviews? Microsoft has too much to lose? lol, this whole anti-Sony conspiracy (which doesn't exist) is laughable. Microsoft don't hand out money to people who slate the PS3 and to think that they're going to pay loads of media sites to give this a bad review is hilarious. If the game gets less than you hope then that's unfortunate but don't blame Microsoft, they'll have nothing to do with it. I can't see the media giving this game poor reviews tho. Just the eye candy gives it a distinct advantage so I expect 95+

LeonSKennedy4Life5594d ago

Because Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and others were snubbed.

POGfinder5594d ago

Variety --owned by MS ..gave Fable 2 9.8 and R2 7. LBP 8

EDGE --has exclusive marketing deal with MS. gave Banjo CRAP 7/10 and Resistance 2 6/10(the worst score it got)

Eurogamer --gave Fable 2 10/10 and LBP 9/10. gave MS2 7/10

1up ---gave PGR4 10/10 and MGS4 8/10 . R2 8/10. even Viva crap got 10/10 from 1up

Gamedaily --gave Ninja flop gaiden 2 9/10 and MGS4 8/10 . it even bashed reviewers who gave MGS4 10/10,

Gamespot gave Braid 9.5 and LBP 9/10 . ratchet 7.5/10. Uncharted 8/10

do i go on?

GT gave Halo3 9.8 and MGS4 9.3/10. It has exclusive deals with MS.

MS is the only remaining US company which has low risks of getting bankrupt. However u do know what happens to nasty companies like GM/FORD who did similiar campaigns against Toyota

Both GM and FORD are fully finished now. On the other hand Toyota has grown bigger than all US companies combined

It is posting a 500m net profit even at the time of recession (thanks to a 1.7m operating loss) but still a profit is a profit

SONY will post a net profit too when numbers are released. Dont compare with OP Loss.Thats not same as NET PROFIT/LOSS

MURKERR5594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

so everyone can see how much of a joke certain sites are, microsoft have alot of marketing deals with gaming sites which means they have huge influence, if a site steps out of turn microsoft stops the cheques its simple as that,people need to be aware

POGfinder5594d ago

EDGE/eurogamer and gamedaily/gamespot these are shameless websites

No one goes to these sites anymore

Gamespot which was once the no1 site lost the title to IGN --a website which should be respected for their unbiased reviews (mostly)

fatboyfsx5594d ago

That is not a surprise, Microsoft is all about money, both in making it, and in dishing it out for exclusives and like you've shown, websites/magazines.

But you are somewhat wrong about the American car companies. Yes, they spent money marketing against Toyota and other car companies, but they are bankrupt because of extremely terrible management in their companies. They are stupid and deserve what they got, too bad the government is probably going to bail their idiotic asses out. I hope Toyota or another Japanese company buys them for pennies on the dollar and turns them into an awesome company, but it's not gonna happen =(

jammy_705594d ago

i think gamespot is changing (MGS4 10/10) so i think they will give this game a 9.5! i mean halo 3 got that so i SHUD get that if not more!
as for metacritic....im going for 94%

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-ro61d ago

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

darthv7261d 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_61d ago

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

Cacabunga61d ago

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

Profchaos61d ago (Edited 61d 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

seanpitt2361d 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!

Iceball200061d ago

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

Father__Merrin61d ago

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

InUrFoxHole61d ago

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

Marcus Fenix61d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198961d ago

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

1Victor61d ago (Edited 61d 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 😱

Michiel198961d 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.

1Victor365d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar365d ago

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

jznrpg365d ago

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

badz149364d 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!

Vengeance1138365d 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 Kim365d ago

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

VersusDMC365d 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?

Vengeance1138365d ago

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

solideagle365d 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.

Phoenix76365d 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

REDGUM365d ago

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

thesoftware730365d ago (Edited 365d 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.

blacktiger365d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca365d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal365d ago

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

Imalwaysright365d 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."

shinoff2183736d ago

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

shinoff2183736d 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

badz149736d 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.
