Journalist on Killzone 2: "My god. Let the hype engulf you"

Gamezine:

'European journalists are beginning to receive their Killzone 2 preview copies and one journalist is already blown away.

An Italian journalist, otherwise known as TTP on gaming forum NeoGAF, has just received his copy of Killzone 2. The full game is in his hands and he couldn't wait to express his feelings on the game so far;

"My god. Preview code looks almost like pre-alpha compared to final...."'

Killzowned.

"My god. Let the hype engulf you"

I`m getting SUPER excited realizing this is a month away from being in my possession.

This is the GAME that makes PS3 haters LOVE the PS3. You gotta love that.

HighDefinition5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

GTA:SA was definitly exciting.

I haven`t been this excited since........LittleBigPlanet. :)

Seriously though this even tops Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, and I was really excited for that game. When I got it, I couldn`t stop smiling. It was great.

Unfortunatly, now I can`t even think of Nintendo w/o cringing.

meepmoopmeep5579d ago

i'm not getting this game anymore.

i get games based on the scores from fanboy extremists on metacritic.
they are my saviors.

HighDefinition5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

Now that you mention it.....me too.

I ONLY buy games developed on MY continent.

"My god. Let the hype engulf you"

LOL, I've already been engulfed in the hype for years!

Can't wait to finally get Killzone 2 in my hands.... After all the years, it's almost here baby!

I haven't been this excited for a game release since MGS4... but I think I'm even more excited for KZ2 than I was for MGS4 though.

Mozilla895579d ago

Just what we need, more hype.

jwatt5579d ago

Yea I don't think there's no stopping the hype, I can't wait for the multiplayer alone!

Michael Jackson5579d ago

Confirmed. This game is gonna be SOFA KING amazing!

marinelife95579d ago

I want to do some engulfing with that flamethrower.

MURKERR5579d ago

how long it take you to think that corny line up.. ;)

StayHigh5579d ago

This game is going to be one of Sony hottest title to come out. I cant wait to get my hands on the game!

eagle215579d ago

I remember Peter Moore in 07' saying, "how can 08' be the year of PS3, when Killzone 2 is coming in 2009?"

Well MS, "their he-ear" and "I see dead people". :)

Ital50Stal5579d ago

Im feeling another HAZE like event here. After this game flops too, I hope everyone will believe that Microsoft finally did something right and made a good, RELIABLE product (nobody i know ever had RROD but had the extra warranty from best buy so THEY killed their system to get a free upgrade).
Anywho...good luck to PS3 fanboys on this one..really!

MasFlowKiller5579d ago

Hey if the media wants it to flop the ill flop.

i remember looking at the gametrailer staff playing this game and ir was like they were mentally challenge, i cant count the numbers of time they ran into the wall or didn't take cover

Matpan5579d ago

Oh sure, I would let the Hype engulf me... If I had a PS3... will get one soon...

prowiew5578d ago

Cant wait. And good to see Guerrilla address the enemy AI. That was my main concern.

i was waiting for some game impression ..all i got was more graphic yadda .. he doesn't even touch the gameplay.. not saying the game will be bad at all..but im sure most people will get fooled by the amazing graphics..and thats it

heroicjanitor5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

The picture always makes me think you are unimpressed :)
You were this time but sometimes you aren't, which makes you similar to Dr Cox. Anyway where was I again... Oh yeah funny name

Chicken Chaser5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

lol ..thanks

im really impressed by killzone 2 ... i'm thinking about borrowing a ps3 from a friend or buying a used one to play this ... my only concern is that everyone seems to be blown away only by the game's graphics and they don't put the same enthusiasm about the gameplay when they talk about it... or sometimes don't mention it at all

Pennywise5579d ago

This preview does not mention gameplay, but plenty of them have. Everything I have read has been very positive.

Score5579d ago

There have not only been numerous articles talking about game play, there have been videos.

HighDefinition5579d ago

All I`ve ever heard about the Gameplay was it`s alot like COD4. Which isn`t a bad thing.

Sarcasm5579d ago

The focus on graphics is generated from the HYPE of E3 2005's trailer. Too many people bagged on Sony and GG for releasing pre-rendered footage. So what do we get now? Graphics that fall short, meet, and even surpass the trailer in different areas.

By fall short, I mean the fluidity of pre-rendered footage is extremely hard to match by actual game play.

By meet, I'm talking about the intensity, the sounds, the violence, the pure carnage is all there.

And by surpassing, the lighting, the COLORS, the fire effects, the variety of helghast, and of course does this by all being rendered by the PS3.

So that's why all people do is talk about graphics when it comes to Killzone 2.

But having been in the beta myself, the gameplay lives up to the graphics. It's like a Gears of War 2 and COD4 had a baby and Killzone 2 popped out. Which is a very F'in good thing.

: ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : )

hay5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

No wai! Dr. Cox is like dozens times better... But I agree with da Chicken. mostly I hear about Killzone 2's awesome-fckin-visuals.
The more I'm interested in is gameplay and mood. And as I could see on the gameplays, it appears to be incredible. Well, it's less than 2 months to check it out myself.

Karum5579d ago

Good and interesting post. It was nice to read your reasoning on that comment.

Bubble and agree for you sir.

liquidsnake5579d ago

Bubbles for sarcasm, really good post. Have played the beta at my friends house a couple of times and after the first time I couldn't sleep at night because all I was thinking about was KZ2. Now if the gameplay is anything like the beta it is a winner in my book.
(And we allready know that the final build IS better)

You are a complete TOOL...hope when..what is this game called again? Haze 2? or is it killzone2..doesnt matter, same thing (flop) how you ps3 fanboys be this excited for a game? EVERY other game on the system either sucked or only 30 ppl bought it. You shouldnt let the hype get to you...you've been heart broken soooo many times before

"Almost feels like a GG dev was hidden behind the sofa taking notes at every "mmh" of mine during my preview code run. "

Love that.

"And there are quite a few differences in how things unfold [to the preview code]"

Quite a few people mentioned the lack of story in the preview could. "who am I?", "why am I doing this?" stuff like that, lack of narrative. Fingers crossed thats what he's getting at. I still enjoy single player just as much as MP.

Score5579d ago

I am more excited about the multiplayer, but I hope that the single player has a decent story too...sounds like it does from this guy.

Fishy Fingers5579d ago

In the long run, I will put more hours into the MP, for sure. But I love blasting through the single player game. Usually in one sitting if possible :)

Hopefully, if (when) we get a co-op patch I'll be a happy man.

Retro-Virus5579d ago

Every time there is an article about Killzone-2, I come searching for any word on Co-op but how can GG leave this out? :(

Fishy Fingers5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

I know, it's a real shame. But to many sources list rumours (some strong),or quotes from (official) magazine editors about co-op being patched post launch. I like to think GG/Sony know it is something to be expected of FPS games now. I know COD4 didnt but still, the majority do.

I'm pretty damn confident a patch will come, but GG/Sony wont want to talk about it so close to release. Why descuss the one negative? they'll be pushing all the positive aspects and rightly so.

If it's going to happen, I expect to start hearing about it just after release.

Retro-Virus5579d ago

That makes sense, why say anything about that 'one' bad thing. So patch it is then, wooot !!! That would make Killzone-2 just so awesome....

But makes me wonder, with 4 years dev time, why didn't they put it in. Is it that hard, I mean they have an AI that's actually doing Co-op in the game and that's even harder to do, it's all a bit strange really !!

ronando5579d ago

Let's just say the GG and Sony R&D have been dedicated to making the one player mode and online game as good as anything you'll ever experience to-date. As much as I love the idea of co-op mode, I would prefer to have their resources dedicated to what I will be spending most of my time on, online and single player. It's been in the works for 4 years, utilizing the best of technology available. Let them continue their focus and let's cross our fingers for a co-op patch in the near future...No compromises, quality over quantity!

I have the feeling we're going to be in for a real treat.

pixelsword5579d ago

...because it sounds like they rounded-up a bunch of hillbillies and gave them sandwiches to read the lines and the hillbillies were eating while they read the lines.

It made my earholes cry...

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.

OtterX41d ago (Edited 41d 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-ro41d ago

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

darthv7241d 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_41d ago

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

Cacabunga41d ago

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

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d 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

seanpitt2341d 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!

Iceball200041d ago

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

Father__Merrin41d ago

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

InUrFoxHole41d ago

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

Marcus Fenix41d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198941d ago

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

1Victor41d ago (Edited 41d 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 😱

Michiel198941d 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.

1Victor345d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar345d ago

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

jznrpg345d ago

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

badz149345d 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!

Vengeance1138345d 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 Kim345d ago

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

VersusDMC345d 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?

Vengeance1138345d ago

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

solideagle345d 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.

Phoenix76345d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

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.

blacktiger345d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca345d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal345d ago

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

Imalwaysright345d 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."

shinoff2183717d ago

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

shinoff2183717d 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

badz149717d 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.
