Tek.no (Norway) Review: Killzone 2

Tek.no via Google Translate: "Killzone was not a particularly great game, and I have not had any major hopes to deuce. It turned out to be the best since the game seems totally divergent with what the rest of the Internet seem to expect of it. Killzone 2 is not only devoid of innovation and creative level design, it is at times surprisingly uinspirert and thus can not serve as so much more than vomfyll for firing spillentusiaster[sic].

I shall not take from the Killzone 2 the fact that, unlike many other games that fall into the same tray, works very good technically and is fun in multiplayer. Ultimately this makes the game's only problem is that there is fraløpt[sic] of time, which means that there are many shooter out there that are better."

A site that can't afford to pay their network provider?

Yeah, they definitely got a review copy...

Ghoul5588d ago

can someone explain why this is approved. Im definatly not defending a game or sony nor killzone2.

But its obvious this review is a load of bull.

Genesis55588d ago (Edited 5588d ago )

There will be a few more screwballs like that. I won't even give them satisfaction of hitting their link. They are looking for hits even if it is just for hate mail.

PixlSheX5588d ago

Just had to see the halo wars ad 27th feb in a killzone 2 review. Fail.

Megaton5588d ago

Dammit, my purchase was riding on the Tek.no review. Guess I'll be canceling my pre-order.

fishd5588d ago

The review was written with bitter tears all over his face,pathetic.
"Playstation church".lol

Fat Bastard5588d ago

Wow. Someone's mad they chose to get a 360

San anto5588d ago

Theres always on site that submits a review purely to drag the meta score down, goddamn them.

barom5588d ago

"Til tross for at Guerrilla nå gjennom tre spill har hatt muligheten til å skape et flott univers, har jeg fremdeles til gode å la meg engasjere. I motsetning til for eksempel Halo, blir spillet ganske kaldt og upersonlig. Jeg sliter med å skape noe forhold til de involverte personene, og de fleste mellomsekvensene akkompagneres bare av et aldri så lite gjesp."

Roughly translated:
Even though Guerilla now through three games have had the possibility to create a magnificent universe, it still can't keep me engaged. Unlike Halo, this game becomes quite cold and un-personal (you know what I mean). I have troubles creating a relationship with the characters and most of the in-between sequences is accompanied by a yawn.

I'm pretty confident even Halo fans (or even Bungie) would agree that the story of Halo is not much to be proud of. He also make some comparisons to Gears 2, but I think some genuinely liked Gears story so I'll give him that. Anyway the review goes on to say the AI is too predictable and that experienced players will get bored. Also goes on to mention the online is too unbalanced (comparing the balance to Haze) and says something along the lines of KZ2 being too uninspired and that you shouldn't believe the hype. Thought I just give you guys a rough summary of his complaints and my opinion on his Halo comparison.

IzKyD13315588d ago

The site NEVER mentions a 6/10, report as broken link......and I'm pretty sure they never got a review copy, they just want hits

gambare5588d ago

tek.no? what kind of site is that?

jammy_705588d ago

then a 6....... oh! its hard which one to believe...LOL!!!

LastDance5588d ago (Edited 5588d ago )

"it is at times surprisingly uinspirert and thus can not serve as so much more than vomfyll for firing spillentusiaster[sic]. "

exactly what i was thinking.

vickers5005588d ago

"Theres always on site that submits a review purely to drag the meta score down, goddamn them."

Oh yeah, it couldn't possibly be because someone has a differing opinion than you. You people that call reviewers stupid when they give a game a different score than you wanted need to shut the f*ck up. It's their opinion, get over it. It's what THEY thought of the game, not you. They didn't like it, fine, but they should not be called stupid when they don't think EXACTLY LIKE YOU!

People are allowed to have different opinions than you, ya know. "Oh, well they gave the game a 6/10, they must be idiots because everyone else has given the game a 9/10 or higher, so they must just be the retarded reviewers of the group, and since reviews matter to me for some reason, I am going to belittle their intelligence because they don't share the same opinion as mine".

By that logic, Halo 3 or GTA4 should be 2 of the best games of all time, and we all know how ridiculous that bs is. You fanboys say, "reviews don't matter" in one breath, then go on to say, "this site is f*cking stupid, because all the other sites have given this game 9's and 10's". So do you realize you are contradicting yourself or are you just hypocrites?

What is your logic?! Do reviews matter, or not? Or do they only matter when they are for your systems flagship/bigname title? Make up your minds guys, I really can't understand you. And if you are being hypocrites, just admit it.

Danja5588d ago

how did this get back on the front page ??

Why dis5588d ago

Trying to censor news are we?

Lord Anubis5588d ago

why in the world did an admin push this one to the top again?

CommonSense5588d ago

without even reading the comments, i'm guessing the following is being said constantly.

A) this site is begging for hits so they lied about their review score so more ppl would come (which makes no sense and follows no logic -- but hey, that's a ps3 fanboy for you)

B) This site is run by 360 fanboys (which also makes no sense because you can't establish credibility by giving favorable scores to one console over another; especially this generation where everyone seems to be a fanboy for one system or the other)

i am glad to see sites that actually give avg scores and highlight the reasons why. it gives me more REAL impressions to determine if i actually wish to purchase this game. Every site licked the ba11s of COD 3 (COD 2.5), 4 (COD 2.6), and 5 (COD 2.7) so i got some of those and they were awful.

Lets see more scores that aren't always 9.0+ it's getting old, it's misleading, and it's dishonest.

and to the fanboys: lets use ACTUAL logic here. if the site wanted more hits from people like you, they'd give the game a 10. cuz everyone knows that the fanboys have already dubbed KZ2 the greatest game of all time despite the fact that the vast majority haven't even experience the beta, and the few that have still don't have a clu what to expect in the final build.

BkaY5588d ago

"your body called.... it want its head back from master chief's azz"

by the way tek.who?

never heard of them in my 20 yrs of gaming...

"it is much closer to middle of Haze than it is Gears of War series, Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."

r u kiddin me.... seriously WTF?...

"cover or die".... Gears! ring any bells

bottom line is this mindless dude thinks that this game is same tray with haze.....

give me fukin break...

Why dis5588d ago (Edited 5588d ago )

He/She didn't put it to the top again, he/she put it back where it was before it was wrongfully reported.

Danja5588d ago

why dont you stop trolling are u planning on buying KZ2 ?? if not why is this of ne importance to you ?

and to address why this was reported , have you ever heard of this site b4 this KZ2 review ?

if you actually read that crap they called a review you could tell they didn't play the game , they can barely speak a sentence without comparing it to Halo or Gears ...they dont really go in depth on ne thing they just pick it apart and thats not saying much..

and on last thing :

Why is it that everytime a big PS3 exclusive game comes around ppl submit these no-one never existed sites ??who gives crappy scores with no real reason to back up there score..

ape0075588d ago

360 fanboys

tears of joy

lol@review

dumb bastard

freeblue5588d ago

anyone that wants free publicity, and sold out their reviewer's soul just to get some hits on thier sites, should not get any in return.

N4360G5588d ago (Edited 5588d ago )

LOL crappy review,even crappier site.Just to remind the Xbox fanboys,IGN gave Killzone 2 a 9.4!!

http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

The Lazy One5588d ago

If we reported every site nobody's ever heard of, there would be maybe 3 new articles a day.

Does killzone 2 deserve a 6? no, it deserves well better, but that doesn't mean killzone's the only game it happens to.

None of you even understand the posting rules of N4G if you're wanting to report this because you don't like it.

Danja5586d ago

and I still stand by word this is a pathetic attempt at a review and it was just submitted for flamebait purposes and to bring down the score...here on N4G..

Stripped of originality and creativity in its' level design? That's rich. Then the other part that makes me chuckle is where he states that there's no bugs and excellent multiplayer but it can't compete with other shooters. Ummm, yeah.

solidjun55590d ago

What made me laugh was the comment towards the Helghast design. "The only thing that annoys me a bit, is how Guerrillas have chosen to structure the enemy image."

Really?!?!?! so, what antagonist/protagonist design appease you? Green helmet, yellow visor (not a knock, I'm just making a point)? Nazi and Japanese soldiers in WWII? They all seem to be the product of the environment whether it's historical or not. Helghast is for Helgans. They are supposed to look like that. This person is grasping for straws.

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.

OtterX73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

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-ro73d ago

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

darthv7273d 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_73d ago

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

Cacabunga73d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm

Profchaos73d ago (Edited 73d 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

seanpitt2373d 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!

Iceball200073d ago

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

Father__Merrin73d ago

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

InUrFoxHole73d ago

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

Marcus Fenix73d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198973d ago

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

1Victor73d ago (Edited 73d 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 😱

Michiel198973d ago

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

SullysCigar377d ago

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

1Victor377d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar377d ago

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

jznrpg377d 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!

Vengeance1138377d 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 Kim377d ago

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

VersusDMC377d 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?

Vengeance1138377d ago

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

solideagle377d 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.

Phoenix76377d 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

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

thesoftware730377d ago (Edited 377d 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.

blacktiger377d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca377d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy377d ago (Edited 377d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal377d ago

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

Imalwaysright377d 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."

shinoff2183749d ago

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

shinoff2183749d 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.
