1Up Show: Killzone 2, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Mortal Kombat vs. DC

This week on the 1UP Show 1Up gets hands on with the Killzone 2 multiplayer beta and give impressions of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and Tomb Raider Underworld. How good is Killzone 2's multiplayer? Will they forget about past Mortal Kombats after playing MK vs. DC? Is Tomb Raider's gameplay just as hot as the new Lara Croft?

1 - Killzone 2
best looking single player

best looking multiplayer

and best looking gameplay I've seen in a shooter for a console in my opinion.

With God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Infamous and fair few others soon after......I don't know how I'm going to cope =(

1.1 - Jeez..this fat dude
I remember watching his impression about the Gears of War 2 and he's like IT NEARLY MADE ME CRY IT HAD EVERYTHING, EMOTION, GRAPHICS, GUNS AND EPICNESS...............

Then Killzone 2 comes and he complains about Killzone being too realistic.

OBVIOUSLY Mate its not an ARCADE SHOOTER like Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4.

Aren't games SUPPOSED TO BE realistic?

Bloody hell.

1.2 - Regarding the controls.. from BETA TESTER
I don't know who this tool is.. but the controls are solid. S--t, they are almost the same layout as COD4. This moron must not have played the game long enough to get costumed to the controls.

KZ2 will PWN!

while I am not taking offense to what Ellis said...as I am in the beta and KNOW that it completely destroys every other shooter to date imo...I am only pissed that he basically lied about the controls...

if you jack the sensitivity all the way up, you can reel your character around in half a second...that is plenty of time to get out of a situation if someone gets the jump on you from behind...that is assuming they suck...but the point is, only arcade shooters like halo or resistance let you take enough damage to even spin around in the first place...Cod 4 sure didn't, yet this guy makes it sound that way...

and the 'guns feel too realistic'...thats a crybaby dig because he sucked at the game...the EcoTech sight on the M82g allows you to put a pinpoint bullet almost anywhere you want...and 1 headshot kills you from ANY gun...disadvantage to scouts with the .50 cal?...only when you are out of range...I have picked off plenty of scouts with the m82g, which one of the 2 guns available immediately...

and lastly, the controls again...I have no idea where he heard "guerilla claims they won't change them"...wrong on every level...there is a massive thread on the beta forum with opinions on the controls, and Guerilla has confirmed customizable button layouts for the full release, more sensitivity options, and hopefully the big one...toggling crouch, and 'hold to aim down sight'...which are the opposite right now...they have not once said 'we like how it plays now and don't want to change anything'...they have always said since day 1 'we want anyone to be able to enjoy this game without too much time investment, which means nearly endless options for controls and classes'...

so the dude didn't like the gameplay...good for him...he didn't like it because he 'didn't have enough time to play it' and sucked apparently...thats not the games fault...nice to see him admit that the game looks incredible though...I figured he would just skip that part...

1.4 - The fat dudes at 1up
e.g., Garnett and that guy you spoke of, are mad at Sony cuz Sony doesn't send over food like MS does. Take what they say knowing it's from a broke hungry fat guy. Anyway to knock KillZone 2 is going to be the new name of the game.

Lmao, relax guys. It's just one guys opinion. To be fair, David Ellis praised the graphics and said it was the best console-wise. That's big coming from a guy who loves Gears Of War 2. If he didn't like the controls, then he didn't like the controls.

He's not the tactical shooter type anyway. The games he love are Gears Of War 2, Resistance 2, Halo 3, Call Of Duty 4. Which are all basically run n gun and I by no is saying that's a bad thing. But the controls do look quite different for KZ2 from the video so I think his statement "might" be fair. But from the sound of it, you guys (above who are in the beta) likes it and the other guy didn't complain so nothing to worry about no?

Anyway David Ellis was not the guy who said Gears 2 gave him an emotional ride. In fact he even said straight out saying "no, that's not true" (or something along those lines) when the guy who said it said it.

As for Garnett Lee. I think his points are valid. I mean lets face it. Him and David Ellis was not the only ones complaining about the singleplayer, read the other reviews and read forums posts and you'll see that a lot of people share the same opinion. Pretty much everyone found the single player to be good or okay, in turn everyone praised the multiplayer (includes both David Ellis and Garnett Lee btw, check last weeks 1up yours). So yea don't be so quick to judge. They aren't total fanboys.

I was actually waiting for somebody to give some negatives about the Killzone Beta. For the people that are in the beta can you honestly tell me what you think of the controls? From what I've seen, I like the realism in that you have to work hard for a kill but do y'all agree with the one guy that the controls need to be tweaked?

I want honest opinions because I have a feeling I won't get in to the beta.

You defiantly need to get use to the control, but it's not like it's destroys the game play. Actually it makes it better if you ask me. It's not a run an gun tap of game play like COD4. If anything it feels more like GEARS OF WAR except for the lack of cover.

I don't think it should be tweaked, it's what they wanted it to be, you can't just run around shooting and expect to do some head shots, you will have top and aim, it's more on the strategic side.

But on thing for sure, this control is defiantly not for everyone...

2.3 - <== Beta tester,
The controls are perfect for me, and I DO NOT LIKE FPS games.. The pace of the game is slower, it is not a "run and gun" like most FPS. You can NOT "run and gun" in KZ2. It might take a beginner some time to adjust to the speed of the game, but once you get used to it.. you will be hooked.

I can't tell you much in details because of NDA.
But trust me, that moron has no clue.

he just seems that way when the rest of the staff are 360 fanboys. When the whole crew slams PS3 games for one thing, and someone else slams an MS game for the same thing, it seems bias but he's really just showing them that they have a double standard.

Well he doesnt like the controls, but he also state thats because they are like real guns. So i cant blame him for not liking the style. As realism requires skillz and he perfers COD4 noob friedly way.

And KZ2 to be the best looking console game... remember its a beta version of a MP

the 'larger' gentleman clearly does not WANT to like this game atall, this to me just gives me video evidence of why some sites review games lower than they really deserve. Blatantly just not liking certain things for the sake of it. Just got the new OPM today, hey have received a new build and they say it actually LOOKS BETTER than the 2005 video and kick back etc has been tweaked AND Guarilla are actually taking the teams comments seriously and making changes if required - they still have 3 months guys and gals

8 - i cant shoot and i suck at killzone 2
so i hate the game.. What a loser.. And you call yourself a freaking GAMER???? LOL.. More like a pu$$y and a sore sport because you cant kill people all easily like in cod4.. A blind old man can own people in cod4.. lol.. thats one reason i play socom now.. Socom took me some time to get use to but i love it.. its not easy and i like the challenge.. once you get the controls down its just plain skills from there.. I still get owned a lot in the game. I am new to socom but last night i changed up my guns and i was on a killing spree..

Killzone 2 = you need skills
socom = you need skills
cod4 = you just need hands and fingers..

Just like 1UP doesnt give Shane Bentehauzen to preview/review 360 exclusive, same should be with David Ellis. Dude is avid 360 fan, he never likes PS3 games, there is always something wrong that doesnt keep him play them more than few days. Same with R2, he was very negative about it.
Like i posted on 1UP. Stay away from PS3 exclusives and just go play gears2

12 - unprofessional preview
I Couldn't help but notice how negative the fat guy was abt the controls

I am in the beta and have unlocked all the weapons so i think i have some say this regard.

The controls are certainly different from any other shooter out there but they are not by no means bad n yes we can kill snipers with accurate shots. in fact once u understand the controls u will learn to love them and what they have to offer. It will say the controls are unlike halo they are a bit like cod4 but little different. 1up seems to have a lot of 360 fan boys hey should at least finish a build bfr posting their views :P

the controls are tight and he didn't mention anything about the awesome squad system and how it revolutionizes player by how the game divides you in to 4 player squads

they did not even mention the awesome class systems and how perfectly balanced all the classes are

and that how fun the game is when ure running and gunning with a medic and a sniper backing up up in ure squad

they didnt mention hwo the radar differentiates between ure team mates ure squad mates n the enemies.

they dint mention the depth it offers due to diff wepaons badges and classes

and to the fat g guy cod4 leveling up system was worse as in kz2 u can be as good with a normal rifle with any other weapon any day each weapon has its skill n advantages He would know if he would have played the game completely..

Ny wayz these unprofessional previews should be criticized..

Van out

I laughed my ass of when he said you can't kill snipers at close range. Obviously he isn't good at shooting, how he get's pwned by snipers at close range is beyond me.

Well, the fat guy had issues with the controls while the other guy didn't. The guy that actually had no issues with the controls needs to review the game.

Killzone 2's realism sort of reminds me of Killzone 1 because the guns in the game always recoiled in a realistic manner and you have to take your shots carefully. It may take a little time for some to get used to the controls, but I love it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think the complaints about KZ2's controls are unfounded. It's one thing to dislike the game's controls due to a lack of polish, but that isn't the case here. He just doesn't like them.

I mean, it would be like hating Half Life 2's controls because there's no Melee button (you have to switch to the crowbar) or hating Halo 3's controls because there's no cover mechanic. If the game is a tactical shooter like KZ2, the controls are going to be more realistic and tactical. The fact that GG forces players to think and play skillfully is a big Pro in my opinion, because I'm growing sick of online FPSs that are nothing but "spray and pray".

17 - man that fat guy is really a rain downer on the parade...
seriously, put the biased aside and play the game for what it is.. a realistic shoot thats head and shoulders above and beyond anything on console shooters now. you wanted to have have the game be realistic and match the trailer and look at it it's now in the ball park. i cant speak about the controls because i'm not in the beta but really, why do you have to be searching for fault with a magnifying glass? yes i certainly hope they don't allow that fat guy to do the review, because really it will suck. we need an unbiased guy on the review to tell us how the game is.

I think slamming a game for being "tactical" and a specific experience is stupid. I WANT KZ to stand out on its own, I don't WANT it to be another Halo or Resistance. I WANT a more thoughtful, paced experience. You know, something DIFFERENT and UNIQUE for a bit.

Though I do want to hear about serious concerns with the game and its gameplay, considering they only played for a few hours, "balance" is not an issue they should be talking about just yet.

Well he seems a little upset for being realistic. If it is real and challenging to master, that is a great game. That what most games are missing now aday, no challenge if at all. People playing without skills. Gears of War required skills, you can actually destroy the entire team by your self if you have skills and that is why it is fun. If KZ2 required learning curve and mastering skills, so be it. That is exactly what we need. Bring back the challenge that the old games use to have.

I am glad the fat guy don't like KZ2. Was afraid that he would disprove the statements that 1Up and Gametrailers is biased.

Then the bearded guy came on and I was amused and dumbfounded at the same time. Sounds like SOMEBODY was getting pwned during some gaming sessions and vented on the preview. As far as controls go, I'm glad GG won't change it. No bunny-hoppers here buddy.
