Sessler's Soapbox: Killzone Mailbag

G4TV writes: "Wow. Just...wow.

This week on the Soapbox, Adam is angry. And you won't like him when he's angry. He's angry at those of you who took it upon yourselves to comment on X-Play's review of Killzone 2, and he's about to call you out one by one.

If you watch one Sessler's Soapbox this year, make it this one."

Jager6308d ago

So, whats he saying? <-- Deafy cant hear nothin :'(

Kamikaze1356308d ago

Basically fanboys said that Adam was forced to give Killzone 2 a 5/5 on his review because he didn't like it. Adam posted that vidio to say that he enjoyed the game and gave it an honest review. Then he basically goes on to tell fanboys who complain about it to stfu and to suck it, lmao

MasFlowKiller6308d ago

The Only problem i have with his review is his statement that the ps3 had not games up to killzone, which is just stupid

Timberland2K96308d ago

They would be stuck if they tried to answer that question

PS3 has games Great ones infact

If you know ps3 has great games press agree!

If not you must not own one and feel free to press disagree

rroded6308d ago (Edited 6308d ago )

lol
still funny hearing em go to bits over this. Swearing at them like a hed a high school kid. IMO hes doing worst than the guys who posted...

Rockstar6308d ago

I noticed that also.

More so Morgan

"Good news Playstation 3 Owners, you finally have something to spend your money on besides Heavenly Sword action figures and anti-depressants..."

Seems like a pretty bold statement from reviewers that apparently don't have and kind of bias.
Is it supposed to be sarcasm or a joke?
IDK but it sure sounds biased to me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...Be your own reviewer.

Also, I enjoyed this episode. Calling out FB's is a whole lotta fun!

I was looking forward to hearing pp's comment though.

soljah6308d ago

you know for some reason even when Sessler is talking serious and trying to make a point. he still comes across as a whinny little twerp. grow up all ready, behave like a real adult TV personality.

Blaze9296308d ago (Edited 6308d ago )

ROFL @ 04:33

"Joe...Joe....You Delusional ****"

hahahahahah, Joe got OWNED!

morganfell6308d ago (Edited 6308d ago )

Sessler can say what he wants but Xplay's own reviews make him a liar:

http://www.n4g.com/News-227...

Talk about a playground for euphemisms. Listen to the remarks at the beginning of both reviews and tell me they are even remotely related. Listen to the entire reviews and stop right before they award scores.

Rockstar said it and he is dead on. If that gimp Sessler is such an idiot that he doesn't get it then that is his own shortcoming and no amount of board postings, intelligent or not will make one iota difference.

I seriously doubt Sessler or his faithful companion Tonto the hooker have much say so in actual scores. But it is possible that she and her oblivious kemosabe may control the content.

It is fairly obvious why much of the review seems mocking. I can picture some guy off camera pointing a gun at them.

Sessler fails to grasp the import of the question, "When is a 5 not a 5?"

What does he do? He just calls people fanboys and says they are obviously deluded. I also like how he attacks other site's review systems but his is obviously perfect. A fine bit of jackassery.

If Sessler visited this board I would have one thing to say. Shut up already. I do not know if he is the worst kind of hypocrite or not. The worst kind being those that are full cognizant of their actions. I only know that he is indeed a charlatan. As such there isn't really anything a 30-something high school nerd has to say that is remotely beneficial unless it is the phrase "Goodbye world"

And I love how Webb mentions the spiking difficulty of rail shooting but never how old such game mechanics are. And rail shooting is frankly a fairly worn implement. Does that mean it can't be enjoyable as in Gears 2? No. But rail shooting gets a pass. Nothing new but let's not say anything about that. Let's heap praise on the multiplayer and not mention the rampant glitches. And let's not even discuss that in the midst of this planet wide battle it's a skimpy 5 on 5. Does that really feel like a battle for humanity's survival?

Of course that can be forgiven, which apparently is not the case of FPS titles.

I guess the fact that Xplay, like so many other sites feel that FPS titles have all been done before, it will be interesting to watch what happens when titles like Fear 2 fail to evolve into Second Person Shooter games or whatever the hell they are supposed to be.

Too bad Halo Wars will be just another isometric view ho hum strategy title. I don't think it will but apparently if a game is using a mechanic that has been around that long and relatively unchanged then it must be doing something wrong.

jib6308d ago

might have missed it but how is he attacking another websites rating system exactly?
he does call those people fanboys but weren't they fanboys?

BattleAxe6308d ago

I think Adam was talking to all the XBOX fanboys on N4G who I'm sure we all know who those specific people are.

FrankenLife6308d ago

He calls out all the fanboy comments made on his site, but doesn't call out Morgan's fanboy intro to the review. That's BS.

Why are some of you disagreeing with guy stating that he is deaf? srsly?

SRU96006307d ago

"Good news Playstation 3 Owners, you finally have something to spend your money on besides Heavenly Sword action figures and anti-depressants..."

Ouch! lol

That is classic, but they must have known that firing that kind of shot across the bow would REALLY stir the SDF up.

L-a-i-n6307d ago

Did you people really "Disagree" with Jager because he said he was deaf??? I don't know much about the guy, but dang you people need to grow up. A line from Sessler fits well here.

"Sit down and take a deep breath.. and while your mouth is open, shove your @#$! in it. That way I don't have to hear from you, and you can finally find a little satisfaction."

People are freakin sad!

Jager6306d ago

Thx lain, no idea whats with all the disagrees... i have no idea what sessler said, cause im deaf, so i go and ask on here what he said, and these racists bomb me with disagrees as if im Saddam approuching the UN HQ?

sonarus6308d ago

I am not usually a Sessler fan i think i have watched 2 of these in my lifetime including this one.

ALl i have to say is STANDING OVATION. That was on point. Fanboys are getting worse, it was funny and cool to be a fanboy at one time but now its a way of life for some people. Some people are allergic to 360/PS3 now.

You guys need to chill complaining about a perfect score. Do you want 11/10. OMG IGN gave gears 2 .1 score better than KZ2
PS3 fanboys: IGN is super biased despite the fact that they give PS3 games higher scores than most
X360 fanboys: AAAH Gears 2 is 0.1 better ahhhh
Wii fanboys: Still a myth lol

mintaro6308d ago

Was spot on, and ovation is indeed deserved.

OGharryjoysticks6308d ago (Edited 6308d ago )

He was roasting IGN for being guilty of simply dishing flame-bait with the whole how can anyone honestly score to the tenth of a point.

IGN isn't as cool as this dude :)

Jinxstar6308d ago

i still feel Xplay has a lot of Bias no matter what they say. I remember when XBL got RE5 demo a week early. They would not stop saying it for like 4 days.... not that big a deal imo... Blair Hurter is always making horrible jokes about PS3 that really get to me and morgan just laughs... Not a fan much I believe sessler is unbiased but many people on G$ including Kevin Pererra and Blair are openly Biased and therefore the site loses cred imo...

I think the game will be good and don't care much but everyone has a favorite of anything. Book, Console, movie or whatever. They are allowed to have an opinion but they don't need to share it.

RememberThe3576308d ago

Go onto the G4 forums or comments and see some of the dump sh*t that gets posted there. It makes the fanboys here look like a congregation of philosophers.

Dark General6308d ago

His Sessler Soapboxes are all usually pretty good. I didn't like him at first, too cheesy. But i listened to some things he said and now i like him.

chanto236308d ago

but all this stupid discussions about .1, .2 points etc etc was brought by that dude from Microsoft who said in the past E3 that the 360 had the better games cause they had a higher metacritic score which to me is BS. 360 has the Orange Box and so does the PS3 ...the Orange Box is the Orange box anywhere it goes...Bioshock is Bioshock on the PS3, 360, gameboy, DS, etc etc you get my point. And i hear people say PS3 fanboys talk too much...well you have to consider all the trash talk they had to take from xbox fanboys on 2006-2007...

thebudgetgamer6308d ago

When Jack Thompson is trying to destroy the game industry we all have a deep stake in.

Its Adam Sessler that's always there to step up to the plate to fight on all our behalves.

I do believe as a whole X-play is more Microsoft centric, but i still find it entertaining and they have the interviews and exclusive game videos i want to see.

As for Morgan she has that really dry humor i guess most people don't get.

:)

The Lazy One6308d ago

Orange box is a horrible... HORRIBLE example.

Kamikaze1356308d ago

Man, Adam really hit the nail on that one. I can't understand why people feel the absolute need to point out something like a 1/10th difference in a review score...well, they probably have nothing better to do with their time since it makes no sense to even argue about that.

However, people will still post on G4's boards and swear Adam was paid by Microsoft to say those things, lol. This is why I can't stand most people - they enjoy and feel that's it's absolutely necessary to take words somebody spoke and twist them to conjure something totally different and pointless.

I love how he just told fanboys to stfu and suck it, lol. I hope ALL fanboys take something out of that video and quit defending corporations like their lives depend on it.

PirateThom6308d ago

Hell, I don't even know why people point out a full point of a difference.

Or hell, even 5 points.

It a game rated 90 rather than 95 somehow unplayable now?

Sarcasm6308d ago

"It a game rated 90 rather than 95 somehow unplayable now? "

Exactly. Uncharted is what, 88 on metacritic but to me it was an amazing game.

And it wouldn't have made it any less amazing if it was a 70 on metacritic.

The problem today though, the whole "points" issue is because of fanboys. "OMG, Killzone 2 sucks because it's only 93 on metacritic and Gears of War 2 is 94! In your face! PS3 sucks, has no games, and HD-DVD will win!"

PirateThom6308d ago

Anytime someone points out Metascores. Uncharted is a fine example for why it's bogus. The other example is Valkyria Chronicles.

Two fantastic games, where scores really don't tell the story.

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

OtterX568d ago (Edited 568d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne568d ago (Edited 568d 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-ro568d 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

MDTunkown568d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72568d 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_Suzumiya567d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast568d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood568d 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.

OtterX797d ago (Edited 797d 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-ro797d ago

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

darthv72797d 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_797d ago

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

Cacabunga797d 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!

Iceball2000797d ago

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

Father__Merrin797d ago

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

InUrFoxHole797d ago

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

Marcus Fenix797d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989797d ago

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

1Victor797d ago (Edited 797d 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 😱

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1101d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1101d 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

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!

Vengeance11381101d 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 Kim1101d ago

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

VersusDMC1101d 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?

Vengeance11381101d ago

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

solideagle1101d 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.

Phoenix761101d 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.

blacktiger1101d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1101d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1101d ago (Edited 1101d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1101d ago

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

Imalwaysright1101d ago

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