Dose: Killzone 2 Review

Dose:

"Killzone 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel-it just makes the sexiest, slickest, best wheel you can imagine and then drives you at top speed down Kickass Blvd. all the way to Awesome City. Setting a new benchmark for FPS-and for what can be done with a PlayStation 3-Guerrilla Games has vindicated itself and created, at least for now, the best shooter on the market."

Pennywise6250d ago

How many reviews used the same exact opening line? Is this just being reposted over and over?

UnwanteDreamz6250d ago

I think I have seen 3 start like this or have the same wheel theme.

Someone just let me know when one of these reviewers has an issue with control lag. Still waiting to hear if someone who played the review code had an issue.

Lifendz6249d ago

And it's kinda hard to do that with a game so good.

user94220776250d ago

Still the best game of the year/decade/century

happyface6250d ago

lol no

graphics good but it feels like you're a 300 lb overweight midget(stand next to your squadmates)

worst controls ever in a shooter? quite possibly

RememberThe3576250d ago

Putting on your "sadface"? It hurts that Killzone 2 kicks ass doesn't it? It's OK, you got Halo 3 right? And that GTA4 DLC is coming out, I'm sure that will up all your time, wont it?

badz1496250d ago

happy enough being a troll, don't you? a lot of people seems not having any problem with the control and you seem to be expecting seth to be able to jump up 10 feet and wear colorful suit like some power rangers! worst control ever in a shooter? how old are you? 5? and talking about overweight, are you sure you aren't talking about RE5? that guy moves like a tank! go to that zone over there!! --->

Lifendz6249d ago

I love people like you. You honestly made my day. To think someone is that incensed about a great game being exclusive to PS3 is just too funny.

the best game on the market yet the review scores keep dropping.

XtreemGamer6250d ago (Edited 6250d ago )

92% is a very good score. It's not dropping,only that nobody can review the multiplayer,and the singleplayer not deserves 100%. The game deserves 98-100% only with multiplayer.

Dino6249d ago

it's like they are afraid of giving it a ten yet calling it the best game ever. These rating systems suck. 9.2's or 9.8's. How about a system that is from Sihty to Awesome. every game will have some flaws that one jackhole will pick out over another jackhole. These reviews (and some gamers) take this stuff too seriously. It's gaming and it's supposed to be fun...not get you laid.

HannahBanana6250d ago

Killzone 2 leaves little hope for any other fps developer to top it.

360 and multiplatform games are always going to look a generation behind in graphics compared to Killzone 2 due to the stupid 7 GB 360 DVD format and wimpy graphics hardware.

Multiplatform fps games like Call of Duty and others usually end up going with the junk P2P networking that is standard on the 360. So you'll continue to get laggy 16 player online play.

The AI is so good in Killzone 2 that people are playing the demo 50 times and talking about how amazing and dynamic it is with every playthrough.

Any challenger to Killzone 2 will have to copy the amazing first person cover system.

And they will have to copy the intense clan betting system. Clan matches will never be the same after that brilliant innovation from GG.

And they will have to come up with a system as good as the multiple badge/job setup for online play.

The only hope for topping Killzone 2 will have to come from a PS3 exclusive developer. And it is unlikely that there are very many who will be able to spend the time and effort putting the insane detail and richness into the animation/weapon action/physics/dynamics that Killzone 2 has.

Junk like 600p Call of Duty and its pathetically weak graphics and arcady gun control and laggy P2P networking don't stand a chance.

nix6250d ago

even though you've got a funny name.. i completely agree with you.. lol.

mintaro6250d ago (Edited 6250d ago )

I know your trying be sarcastic but I couldn't help but correct what you've so expertly typed.

1. Good graphics are always a plus and can add to a game's atmosphere, but they are the least important part of a game.

2. I can't really say anything about the A.I considering I've only played the multi-player beta, but from what I've heard the A.I can be too easy at times making them good pickins for the knife.

3. While a first-person cover system may be good, I doubt any developer is going to go out of their way to implement one.

4. I like the badge/skill system in Killzone 2, but just like GG did with Team Fortress 2 and Cod4, someone is eventually going to take the idea and make it better.

5. Why is it that games have to top one another and not just be good in their own right.

6. And finally since when does 720p/1080i/1080p define a good game?

All things considered I'm sure Killzone 2 will be an amazing game. So let the game speak for itself so you fanboys can stop.

:)

I have never heard of Dose. Bioshock is still better.

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

OtterX518d ago (Edited 518d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne518d ago (Edited 518d 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-ro518d ago

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

just_looken517d 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

MDTunkown518d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72518d 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_looken517d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya517d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast518d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood518d 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.

OtterX747d ago (Edited 747d 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-ro747d ago

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

darthv72747d 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_747d ago

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

Cacabunga747d ago

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

Profchaos746d ago (Edited 746d 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

seanpitt23746d 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!

Iceball2000747d ago

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

Father__Merrin747d ago

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

InUrFoxHole747d ago

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

Marcus Fenix747d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989747d ago

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

1Victor747d ago (Edited 747d 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 😱

Michiel1989747d 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.

1Victor1051d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1051d ago

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

jznrpg1050d ago

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

badz1491050d 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!

Vengeance11381051d 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 Kim1051d ago

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

VersusDMC1051d 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?

Vengeance11381051d ago

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

solideagle1051d 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.

Phoenix761051d 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

REDGUM1050d ago

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

thesoftware7301051d ago (Edited 1051d 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.

blacktiger1050d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1051d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1051d ago (Edited 1051d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1051d ago

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

Imalwaysright1051d ago

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