OPM: Killzone 2 Gameplay Matches Graphics

Tim Clark, editor of the mag told CVG: "The most surprising thing isn't the visuals - anyone who's seen recent footage will know it's the most handsome thing on the system - but the fact it's got the gameplay to match.

"Killzone 2 is without question the most exciting release due in the first half of 2009," he added.

I FULLY agree that the gameplay matches the graphics, if not even better!!! The beta was EXTREMELY FUN, EXTREMELY ADDICTING!!! Ahhh, I love you Killzone 2 =')

<3

badz1496325d ago

lucky for you and all the others that have experience the awesomeness in the form of the beta! luckily for us the wait is almost done and KZ2 is on its way to my PS3 too!!

Lifendz6325d ago (Edited 6325d ago )

First Uncharted, now this. The PS3 is a beast. And the scariest part is that GG said they can get even more out of the system. OMFG!

Heavy Rain, GT5, God of War III....and KZ2 of course.

Bubbles for all that seem excited for KZ2! I'm in a nice mood ;)

Sarcasm6325d ago

I was also in the beta. While I was working 48 hours a week, I used to just pop in it for about an hour each day after the 12 hour day. And I had minor withdrawal symptoms when it ended. Though some of you may look at me like "omg get a life! You're crazy!" you don't understand the stressful environment of a 12 hour job. So I usually relax myself playing the KZ2 beta. But since it was over, I literally CRAVED to play it again. I then played a bunch of Resistance 2 to fill me in. So I'm not that crazy :P

Obviously people have the same kind of attachment to something like Halo 3, Gears of War, SOCOM and even Resistance. But Killzone 2 is to me is the one that I truely want. Feb 27th is almost here!

Information Minister6325d ago

Having trouble with the stressful environment of a 12 hour job? HA! Try a 14 hour job! And imagine what it's like getting a speeding ticket on your way to home after 14 hours straight.

I laugh in your face. IN YOUR FACE!!! (j/k)

xT-Virusx6325d ago

KILLZONE comes to my house and rapes me in my sleep! bubbles to those who agree.

BrianC62346325d ago

I have to ask the reviewer one question. If the graphics are the best on the PS3 and the gameplay is even better why did the game get a 9 out of 10? It sounds like it would get a 10.

phosphor1126325d ago

Can't wait, I got it preordered.

Shankle6325d ago

Having actually read the review, I believe they couldn't give it a 10 because it lacked some of the sheer genius of a 10/10 game. The ending is apparently a little screwed up as it suddenly gets ridiculously hard as you just have to fend off a seemingly neverending horde of hellghast, and it feels like quite an anticlimax.
So we're looking at stunning graphics and brutal chunky gameplay but a few annoying design choices and less-than-stellar campaign.

KILLZONE KILLZONE KILLZONE!!!!

Every once in a while you surprise me Bloodmask :) I'm so hyped for this game!!

InMyOpinion6325d ago

"Killzone 2 Gameplay Matches Graphics", says Official Playstation Magazine...

thor6325d ago

Sites/magazines that only review games from one platform tend to be less biased than ones who review both. It's because they're not comparing games from both platforms; rather they're advising PS3 owners which game they should buy next. They can't give every PS3 game top marks now can they - that wouldn't be too helpful. Their reviews tend to be in line with the general consensus.

JokesOnYou6325d ago

Well like I said before, Bloodmask may have his own personal preferences but he doesn't write the news himself, he simply posts the news whether its good or bad. He's a great contributor to this site whether some folks like him or not.

On topic, if *OPM is right then KZ2 should be a helluva game.

JOY

Sarcasm6325d ago

Yeah Jenzo, take off those fanboy glasses and you'll see that OPM is more critical of PS3 exclusives than other sources.

solidjun56325d ago

Nah, it's the end of the month and he has to collect his $500. So, he'll post whatever to collect.

please give me rest stop the killzone articles for a while.

GarandShooter6325d ago

Stop clicking on the links. It's easier.

Yeah you're complaining about the Killzone 2 articles but I bet you 360 fanboys love it when you see anti-PS3 articles here. Goddamn hypocrites. Killzone 2 will be released next month so this is to be expected but I've noticed that all the anti-PS3 stuff is just coming in BECAUSE of Killzone 2 launch. Microsoft loyalists are too funny. Funny in a sad way. Very sad...and desperate.

That's just as bad. If you don't like FPS games don't click on links to articles about them. Problem solved.

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.

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

OtterX567d ago (Edited 567d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne567d ago (Edited 567d 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-ro567d ago

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

just_looken567d 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

MDTunkown567d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72567d 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_looken567d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya566d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast567d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood567d 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.

OtterX796d ago (Edited 796d 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-ro796d ago

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

darthv72796d 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_796d ago

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

Cacabunga796d ago

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

Profchaos796d ago (Edited 796d 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

seanpitt23796d 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!

Iceball2000796d ago

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

Father__Merrin796d ago

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

InUrFoxHole796d ago

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

Marcus Fenix796d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989796d ago

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

1Victor796d ago (Edited 796d 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 😱

Michiel1989796d 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.

1Victor1100d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1100d ago

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

jznrpg1100d ago

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

badz1491100d 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!

Vengeance11381100d 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 Kim1100d ago

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

VersusDMC1100d 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?

Vengeance11381100d ago

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

solideagle1100d 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.

Phoenix761100d 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

REDGUM1100d ago

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

thesoftware7301100d ago (Edited 1100d 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.

blacktiger1100d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1100d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1100d ago (Edited 1100d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1100d ago

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

Imalwaysright1100d ago

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