Gamespot Review Blog - Killzone 2: The Multiplayer Maps

Gamespot:
"Killzone 2's multiplayer maps are some of the best on which I have ever fought. Most of them feature winding paths, various chokepoints, and clever placement of capture points, so even on the larger maps, there is no reason why you wouldn't be right in the thick of the action. You know how some shooter maps are great for, say, capture the flag, or deathmatch, but not for other modes? Killzone 2's maps may excel in some modes more than others, but possess no intrinsic weaknesses. And that's for the best, because matches string multiple modes seamlessly together, keeping you constantly on your toes and forcing you to switch gears several times in a single game."

I just beat battlefield bad company last night on hard.

Kleptic5557d ago

this is an area that will probably go over looked, and already has throughout nearly every currently available review...

there were only 3 in the beta...so that is all i have experience with...but the amount of detail, the size (for the two larger maps), and all the little vantage points available are incredible...

each map had at least three stories of verticle scaling...with wide open views, of which you could see across the entire map...the fact that there was so much up close detail, yet the draw distance was still so huge...was awesome...and with 32 players on a map at once, you definitely can use that distance to your advantage...

and all the while they somehow made it nearly impossible for players to camp...every room has at least 2 exits...no matter where you are, save your main spawn area, you could easily have someone get in behind you unnoticed...there was this perfect balance of the feeling of being in a great defensive position for every objective, yet still feeling 100% vulnerable at any given time...that was what impressed me the most...because of the flawless map design, team work is absolutely essential to win any round...it was impossible for one person to effectively camp an objective and hold off the enemy...

spunnups5557d ago

awesome hands on preview right there. this may be the first game where i get serious about joining a clan.

Violater5557d ago

gamespot needs to stop milking the game and just do the review

Sevir045557d ago

Thats the last review that everyone is waiting for. LOL!!!

redsquad5557d ago

Pity I'm so rubbish at online multiplayer as it looks like an essential componant of this game and yet I'll probably be missing out.

poindat5557d ago

I'm absolute crap too, but that isn't stopping me from picking it up. Just gotta get online early to get an edge on everyone, and MAYBE I'll have a chance at keeping up with some of you pros. ;)

redsquad5557d ago

Oh I'll certainly be giving the MP maps a twirl, but I suspect it'll get VERY embaressing VERY quickly and I'll end up scurrying back to the campaign in short order.
Also, as it's a team based experience, I think the "kick player" option will be being used on me a lot too!;)

EastCoastSB5557d ago

There's always the bots you guys can practice with so you don't completely embarrass yourselves. lol

Why o why5557d ago

that might make things worse..The bots are quite adept and team up well. They also have that uncanny knack of making you kick their grenades

Xbox fanboys are mad, because GameSpot gave MGS4 a 10/10. So they turned their back to GameSpot. GameSpot have become PS3 fanboys since that.

God bless and happy gaming.

HDDVD185557d ago

GS is owned by CNET

Ofcourse had it been x360 exclusive then it would have got 10 from GS

GS usually underrate ps3 games and i wont be surprised if it gives the game a 7/8

bassturd5557d ago

mmmm how so....they give xbox exclusives god scores....

I didn't see them trying to nitpick thru ...say...Gears of War 2's MP. If they had waited to play that MP for the final game the score should of been bumped down a couple points for the sheer amount of bugs and lag and broken matchmaking that plagued that game upon release.

Bigrhyno5557d ago

Oh shut up HDDVD. MGS 4 got a 10, and Halo Wars got a 6.5 which is below what most other sites have given it. I am expecting a very good score. I just listened to the GS weekly podcast and the person who is going to review the game seemed VERY enthusiastic about it.

TOSgamer5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

So what if Gamespot is owned by Cnet? You do know that Cnet was bought by CBS last year right? Unless your contention is that MS now owns CBS...

Edit below: Damn your kind of slow. Do some research before posting garbage.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/...

CBS OWNS CNET!

HDDVD185557d ago

GS has given 10 to MGS4 since their traffic fell by 60% and it is no longer a major gaming website

iGN took its crown and gets bigger everyday
CNET is owned by MS. Halo wars got 6/7 from most websites
Halo wars has 82% average at meta.not an AAA

Bigrhyno5557d ago

6.5 is quite a bit lower than 82%.
Other Sites:
IGN 8.4
1up B
Gametrailers 8.4

In fact if you look at the Halo Wars metacritic page, Gamespot is the last on the list.

Cnet is owned by CBS now.

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-ro66d ago

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

darthv7266d 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_66d ago

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

Cacabunga66d ago

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

Profchaos66d ago (Edited 66d 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

seanpitt2366d 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!

Iceball200066d ago

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

Father__Merrin66d ago

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

InUrFoxHole66d ago

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

Marcus Fenix66d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198966d ago

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

1Victor66d ago (Edited 66d 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 😱

Michiel198966d 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.

1Victor370d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar370d ago

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

jznrpg370d ago

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

badz149370d 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!

Vengeance1138370d 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 Kim370d ago

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

VersusDMC370d 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?

Vengeance1138370d ago

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

solideagle370d 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.

Phoenix76370d 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

REDGUM370d ago

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

thesoftware730370d ago (Edited 370d 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.

blacktiger370d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca370d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy370d ago (Edited 370d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal370d ago

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

Imalwaysright370d 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."

shinoff2183742d ago

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

shinoff2183742d 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

badz149742d 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.
