Killzone 2: Final build IGN Impressions HD

Watch and Listen to IGN's impressions on one of the most anticipated games of 2009. Enjoy!

omega76329d ago

But this was posted before

and it is i think a month old

i expect 10/10 from IGN and IGN is the only site i trust

Divinius6329d ago

I know people don't have access to IGN Insider, but this video just came in the IGN newsletter. We have seen their take on the preview build, but this is their impressions on the final build

omega76329d ago

thanks for the clarification

Jeff Haynes is reviewing KZ2

Jeff is the best editor in the world . I respect that man

Cant wait for KZ2 awesomeness

lord_of_balrogs6329d ago

Who said you can't go in guns blazing and that it requires tactics? He must of taken at least 300 shots and didn't die once. Granted the gameplay and game itself looks beautiful, but the A.I. manages to miss you from 2 feet away, and then just stand still for 2 seconds, and then when you do take on shots you don't even get fazed.

omega76329d ago

the AI in the latter stages of KZ2 is termed as KILLER AI

does that tell u anything

the final boss in KZ2 has almost lieflike AI

also IGN was playing it on EASY

ajeben8096329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

it would be nice if the firken guy giving his "impressions" would actually give his impressions on the game rather than running us through whats happenin on the screen...which he does for almost the whole video!

game looks wicked though, ive already made my own impressions

Aquanox6329d ago

It looks pretty, action looks frenetic...

But...

Am I the ONLY one noticing those annoying framerate issues? I'm not sure if this is the final code but if it is, I'd be a bit worried.

BkaY6329d ago

there u have it 10 from ign...

well doesn't im gonna pick it up anyway .... :)

but ign is the only site i trust......

FOXDIE6329d ago

if you watched the video you could maybe have understood from the reviewer that there where NO framerate issues. I know what you are talking about, I dont think thats because of the game.

Aquanox6329d ago

I HAVE watched this and many other videos, and in every single of them, the developers keep mentioning that the game has a nearly flawless framerate.

However, that's not nearly what the actual video is showing, and I'm not only talking about this one, but others from IGN and Gamersyde.

Therefore, whether no website has shown a final code video, which is entirely possible, or the game actually has some noticeable framerate issues. I guess we'll see it first from reviews and ultimately from personal experience.

badz1496329d ago

as hopefull as I'm that KZ2 will get 10/10 from every review, they'll somehow drag it from that 10 just for the 'no co-op' reason! if only co-op exist, then I'll have no more reason that I can think preventing KZ2 from the magic 10! either way, even if they are going to put it as a 5/10, I'll still buy it day 1! only a month left to spare but this wait is killing me!

FOXDIE6329d ago

I just watched the video again in HD. I can confirm that the lag or framerate problem your talking about is not the game, but the video it self.

Ju6329d ago

Its the video. Non-scaled on my machine is fine, fullscreen, fps drops.

Cutnell6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

Aquanox try watching the video on a computer other than the pile of crap you have now. I see no framerate issues on my desktop, but my laptop is a different story. If I'm on the laptop selecting HD is like selecting Play slideshow.

I looked at your previous post history to see what your motives are. Why do you care so much about the xbox selling better than the PS, etc? What gain do you receive personally? Now add in your comments about KZ2 and "framerate issues" that are not there, and I think we have a classic (insert favorite fanatic fan term) on our hands.

dantesparda6329d ago

Aquanox is full of sh!t, he's a 360 fanboy with a agenda. I never seen the framerate issues he is talking about. It is the way his computer handles the videos

ThanatosDMC6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

The guy cant snipe very well. It's like he is hitting the analogue stick to much rather than fine aim his shot.

Probably doesnt use the PS3 controller much. I mean, he cant aim for $hit. He's playing on easy mode and the AI bots are practically just waving their hands at him so he can shoot them in the head...

OOG6329d ago

an FPS getting a 10/10 from ign is possibly one of the most unlikely things to see....and we wont be seeing it in feb...but it should get a good score still tho

CommonSense6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

a high budget run-of-the-mill shooter.

edit: uh oh aquanox. you are praising this game and sucking it off along with all these idiot fanboys. better be ready to have 1 bubble like me. :)

f7897906328d ago

Your computer is probably stuttering or something because I see perfectly smooth gameplay.

I pre-ordered the demo of KZ2.I'll see how it turns out

omega76329d ago

as for how it turns out it doesnt even need to be said that it is AWESOME

Ofcourse some haters could give the game less than 9 but nothing stops people from buying KZ2

the game is that good

TheColbertinator6329d ago

My PSN is Nintendo_Dude and I play Resistance 1 and 2.

I also use a second account for MGO.

What is yours,Omega 4,5,6,7 etc?

omega76329d ago

also Nintendo dude---that explains everything

seriously do u own a wii---haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ichiryoka6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

Man I'm so lost on how so many people can Still be skeptical of this game. lol. Man what is everyone afraid of? It being too good? Seriously every siteyou can think of has had positive views on this game and even some sites trying to nitpick at the game could hardly find anything valid.

So after reading some reviews and some previews of this game which were all positive, what are you looking for? lol. A bad review so you can say, "I told you so." Seriously man this game will be a masterpiece, I was looking through the forums the other day and someone had a gif of killzone 2. It shows sev wading through water under what looked like a pier. As he was walking you could see the water rise and fall and droplets of water were dripping from the top of the pier, all while being illuminated by lightning every few seconds.

All I can say is to the people who don't believe in the hype, you may not believe now, but if you play the demo or even when the rest of the reviews are released. YOU WILL BE KILLZOWNED!!!

TheColbertinator6329d ago

@Omega

My account is fake? You have not proved it.I'm wondering if the biggest PS3 defender on this site doesn't have a PS3

8)

omega76329d ago

TROLL proof is not even needed

your comment history is enough to prove you TROLL

start crying on Feb 27 cuz KZ2 will blow everyone away

we dont care about reviews from some hater websites

6329d ago
reelife6329d ago

Is not fake, i've added you on psn

Kain816329d ago

yea i have seen this level on Giga.de they showed the 4th Level.
and the wind had an effect to the Water.
But i described it as a sea, cause my english is not that good, pier is the word what i searched for.thx

Killzone 2 is a truly masterpiece, i hope they use this engine for other Games/genre like RPGs.

Aquanox6329d ago

I can't believe nobody has pointed out those framerate issues. I hope this one is not the final code (at least what is shown in the videos)

Torch6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

"I can't believe nobody has pointed out those framerate issues."

Well, actually...YOU have.

Twice.

Yes, we get it: The INTERNET video has framerate issues.

Thanks for the heads-up, you Good Samaritan with Absolutely No Ulterior Motives, you.

Aquanox6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

Lets say you're correct and it's only a problem of bad encoding. How about the plethora of all other videos from IGN, GamersyDe, Gametrailers, and many others? I'm yet to find one without the framerate dropping to worrying levels. It never gets unplayable, but if you play COD4 and then this one (this build), chances are that you will find the slowdowns very noticeable.

For a game that has been in production for so long, I expect this one being an old build and the final code nearly framerate locked.

Bits-N-Kibbles6329d ago

I laugh at your frame rate explanation and expertise. Please do us a favor and spare us the rest of your bubbles.

gametheory6328d ago

Considering we are in the open zone, I can freely call you a dipsh1t. Now that we've cleared what you are, let's just think for a second. If there was *really* a framerate issue, don't you think anyone OTHER THAN YOURSELF would have said something? If you truly think you're being honest and not trolling, then don't you think that maybe, just maybe you have to take those Bill Gates glasses off your eyeballs, dumbass?

And if you *are* trolling, could you at least use a different picture for your avatar? That would make it a little less obvious. I'm getting used to your retarded comments about PS3 games anyway, how about being a little less predictable? Hell, make a duplicate account and use the name of a PS3 character (hell, Nariko maybe?) and spew some bullsh1t. At least in the beginning you might fool someone, you retard.

diatom6328d ago

I must have missed the part with the framerate issues when I was distracted by the reviewers talking about there not being any framerate issues.

Damn, I want the game so badly.. the wait is such a pain :(

badkolo6329d ago

yeah claiming teamxbox will review it wa skinda dumb, but ill let that one slide.

I expect great scores for the game, cant wait, want my demo from my preorder.

omega76329d ago

But yea except

Gamedaily, EDGE,gamesradar, 1up, gamespot , ripten , variety, GT and 1/2 other SONY haters

But ofcourse nothing prevents us from buying KZ2

IGN is bigger than all those gaming websites combined

CryofSilence6329d ago (Edited 6329d ago )

It may just be me, but Gamespot's mellowed out a bit. I could be wrong though. Who knows with 1Up and it's not really certain for Gametrailers. You're pretty much right on for all else.

Shane Kim6329d ago

I think GS have cooled down a bit as well, but from all the other sites you mentioned I expect 8's.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

IAMRealHooman569d ago

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro569d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken568d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown569d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72569d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken568d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya568d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast569d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood569d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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.

OtterX798d ago (Edited 798d 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-ro798d ago

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

darthv72798d 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_798d ago

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

Cacabunga798d ago

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

Profchaos797d ago (Edited 797d 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

seanpitt23797d 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!

Iceball2000798d ago

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

Father__Merrin798d ago

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

InUrFoxHole798d ago

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

Marcus Fenix798d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989798d ago

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

1Victor798d ago (Edited 798d 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 😱

798d ago
Michiel1989798d 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.

1Victor1102d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1102d ago

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

jznrpg1101d ago

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

badz1491101d 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!

Vengeance11381102d 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 Kim1102d ago

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

VersusDMC1102d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

thesoftware7301102d ago (Edited 1102d 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.

blacktiger1101d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1102d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
