PREPARE FOR BATTLE FOR TOMORROW WE DINEEE IN HELL-GHAST!!!

KingDizzi6286d ago (Edited 6286d ago )

For many the fight has already begun, for once it is good to be in the EU for game releases!

sonarus6286d ago

I can't wait to get into that online...haters be damned. Kilzone 2 has come a long way from weak A.I. to mediocre gameplay to undisputed contender for fps of 2009

Violater6286d ago

Hey Sonarus that's my line
but you are right haters be damned

6286d ago
sonarus6286d ago

lol been saying haters be damned since last yr

cartman3136286d ago

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Can't wait!!! Good thing I have tomorrow off!!

gambare6286d ago

Gamespot got killzowned

damn.. I'll have to wait for my copy tomorrow :(

4Sh0w6286d ago

That was a great review. Tommorrow I'll finally get to play this beast for myself.

Bathyj6286d ago

Even Gamespot is kicking Helg-arse!

Sevir046286d ago

because i wont be able to pick it up my Gamestop said that the game is sold out on pre orders alone so if a purchaser of the pre order doesnt get in at some point tomorrow it'll go to the next happy buyer. and i'll be having a late day so. I'll have to get it tonight and submerse myself in all it's glory

as for Sonarus and Violater, heh I'm taking you both to school. so stand fast. ^^

legendkilla6286d ago

10am can't get here soon enough!

McMee6286d ago

9.0 seems like it should be the minimum score for KZ2 especially after being praised like that im just tired of this being called the undisputed technical achievement of this generation and then being docked 1-3 points for just having very solid and fun gameplay as opposed to revolutionising how we play the FPS genre. we'll see if damnation gets better scores for its incredibly innovative vertical gameplay /sarcasm. I mean doesn't perfection count for anything. Anyway cant wait till tomorrow though man its finally here KZ2 time!!!!!!!!

y0haN6286d ago

So many Americans are moaning that Europeans are getting it first, when 90% of the good games are made in Europe anyways.

I only bought my PS3 a couple of days ago and I already have 6 games for it and 8 blue rays. Damn you, Sony for making such a kickazz console. Thanks! =) Since I am a huge online console gamer on the 360, I hope that my online experience with the PS3 will be lacking too much immaturity and be as fun as XBL. So far, I don't have any gripes about my online experience with the PS3. Lets keep it that way. Lets game on! Hopefully I can be on KZ2 sometime this weekend if I am not playing Resistance 1 or 2. hehe

INehalemEXI6286d ago

I pinch myself ...mere hours till I can pick it up. CA here.

jammy_706286d ago

but still a great score...

Jamegohanssj56286d ago

Wait huh? Gasp! Gamespot gave Killzone 2 a 9? The world is about to end.

edgeofblade6285d ago

It's good you say haters be damned. But we all know, some people's experience is some how diminished when people disagree with them.

It's a damn fine looking game. You won't find me disagreeing with that. And if you think the game play is up to snuff, that's great too. But I don't think the actual gameplay is all that different from what we have seen before. I might be alright with that if the controls didn't feel awkward in my hands.

But even this backhanded comment shouldn't change how much you like the game, no matter how backhanded it is.

Shepherd 2146285d ago

this game is overrated it has amazing graphics only everything else is just pretty good otherwise all reviewers would be slamming 10's all over the place, Halo 3, Resisntance 2, and Gears 2 all scored higher on Gamespot and IGN.

XLiveGamer6285d ago

Before you complain and disagreee read this >>> I already played the game and yes have some awesome graphics but i was asking my self ¿Why they make your character move and handle so slow? then it hit me.

The game have great graphics but thats it. The rest its more of the same. Its another classic Action 1st Person Shooter You shoot, they shoot you back, you resist a good amount of bullets, you bleed and the screen start looking like the windshield of your car then a wiper clean the blood. Just the clasic already boring FPS experience.

(Warning before you complain almost everybody of PS3 fans have been posting PRO KZ2 comments on none related KZ2 News)

Now on the other hand Operation Flashpoint 2 and A.R.M.A. 2 are going to bring a lot of stuff to the FPS War game genre like anyother FPS title before. The other well known and respected 1st person shooters are going to be a thing of the past. But i know that you KZ2 fan boy are afraid that any of those game win the 1st person shooter of the year award. CoD MW2 can steal the thunder of KZ2 but not the one from Operation Flashpoint 2 & A.R.M.A. 2. By the way kids The US ARMY and UK Military Service use those games like a tool on their trainning. Thats how real it is.

Like i have been saying before and only a wise person can understand this: Fear its going to be your ally on the battlefield in Operation Flashpoint 2 and A.R.M.A. 2.

Its good to be a gamer and not a blinded brainwashed console fanboy.

Blitzed6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

You say you've already played the game yet 12 hours ago you wrote-

"I am not getting a KZ2 copy and i am not a hater."

Of course you're not getting it, because you don't have a PS3, as 7 days ago you wrote "yes in the future but not this year im going to buy me a PS3."

Man that comment history tab sucks eh? Nearly every one of your comments bash the PS3 (or hype Operation Flashpoint2). I hate to break it to you but you are a "blinded brainwashed console fanboy."

Another day, another new trolling account trying to knock KZ2 down a peg. What do you guys really hope to accomplish?

Mindsucker6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

Ok buddy with a name like "XLiveGamer" you actually have the nerve to say anything about being brain washed.

Any way this game is great all the way around.
Great Physics
Great Visuals
Great gameplay
Great Multiplayer

All Fanboys be damned quit ruining the real games and posing as real gamers.

6285d ago
BattleAxe6285d ago

While XBOX 360 Fanboys are playing N4G.COM on their PCs tonight, I'll be playing Killzone 2.

Now remember, if you don't own a copy of killzone 2, then you must not be a true gamer............

Buttons6285d ago

The only games he's rated higher than 9.0 are MGS4 (10) and Resident Evil 4 Wii (9.1)

PS3istheshit6285d ago

the online is so much fun
when i think of call of duty it feels kinda old and stuff but killzone 2 is so fresh and killing sum1 online and hearing te beep noise wen they die is awesome
i can listen 2 that noise forever
and it funny wen they r down and have 8 seconds and i jus shoot em in the head with a pistol
im jus starting story mode and its gonna b awesome
im gonna b away from all my games cuz killzone 2 is jus too much good in one game

Great score for a great game, yes I have the game and it is amazing!

KingDizzi6286d ago

This will indeed be a AAA title, all the major reviews are in and the game is over 90%.

Jager6286d ago

finally lol, been wondering when GS would release their review.

phosphor1126286d ago

They said they were waiting to test out the MP because all other reviewers only played MP for a few hours, since no official servers were up.

Goon 1876286d ago

If a game is scoring 9's and 10's from 50 different sites, You know that it must be a kick a$$ game, no doubt

JOEdANGEL6286d ago

Same was true of Gta 4 yet many on n4g apparently didn't like it. On topic though, this game looks awesome and I can't wait to play it.

6286d ago
evrfighter6286d ago

Ive seen the vids...It's a nice looking console shooter. But I'll ask a question I've been asking with no replies so far. How is it setting a new bar in fps gaming? Surely your answer won't be "it looks purty and you can hide behind stuff" right?

I want to love this game like the rest of you and buy a ps3 for it and my new hdtv. But it just looks like another fps shooter to me. This is the same reason I never bought Halo. It really set no bar in fps gaming as I was online gaming on the pc long before Halo 1 was released.

Sitdown6286d ago (Edited 6286d ago )

I never termed GTAIV/Halo 3 as garbage.....nice spin though. What ever makes you sleep better at night. Anyhow....enjoy the game. If I can grab a rental copy, I will see you all online.

@evrfighter
Be careful with that radical thinking. I poised a similiar question...and stated that between COD4/Halo3/Gears2 that the demo did not show me enough to make me feel like I needed to add KZ to my collection. And that is not because KZ 2 is bad....its just a matter of it being released later than the other titles, and me feeling like it did not separate itself enough to warrant me dropping $50 on it.

nycredude6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

Just buy it or rent it. I bought it at a mom and pops in nyc yesterday that broker the street date and let me tell you, after you get pass the initial learning curve with the controls this game is on point. The cover system is great and must be used to survive. While it feels a bit like COD4 (Probably because the default weapon) the gameplay is nothing like those three games you mentioned. The online is gansta also. Graphics don't change at all for the online and the badge system, ribbon system and the ranking system is much deeper than other fps game, it's almost like a fps RPG! Really on point game! Give it a try instead of doubter and you will find a beast of a game! I forgot to mention the offline and online bots! You won't even tell if they are human or not.

Add me too anyone: PSN: NYCREDUDE

Sitdown6285d ago

Yeah...I am going to try and rent it today. I hate that I missed the beta...cause multiplayer is what I am really interested in, and wanted to try out. I have started limiting my game purchases to games that have great online components...rather than buying games that I can just rent a beat in a day, that have little to no replay value.

REPLOID246285d ago

And from non other than Gamespot. Maybe the are turning a new leaf, yo.

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.

IAMRealHooman568d 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

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 😱

797d ago
Michiel1989797d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar1101d ago

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

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!

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.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1101d ago

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

thesoftware7301101d ago (Edited 1101d 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

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.
