...and has already by CoD4 as the best FPS on a console.
Infinity Ward took a different approach to achieve best shooter: great realistic looking graphics/gameplay combined with a cool presentation - just like Halo.
CoD4 has awesome MP and short but fun linear SP.
Now, doesn't that sound familiar?
So let's do the maths:
if
CoD4 > Halo
and
KZ2 > CoD4
then
KZ2 > Halo
ie Halo Kill...
Will take things to a new level. and if they make sequel 4 near the end of the Ps3 cycle, then that will be unbelievable.
Look at what Santa Monica Studios achieved with the GoW on the Ps2. Amazing for a 32 Mb RAM, 300 MHz CPU hardware with no harddrive. In the words of the old Helghast...."Impressive&q uot;
games - yes
Hope they don't muck around and just a big developer/publisher like Ubi, EA, Activision etc
The 2005 trailer was a......trailer.....in particular, a TARGET trailer.
Anyone with commonsense would have known it was all CGI trailer. I idiot reporter confused Jacks comments about a DEMO of Resistance:Fall on man that was shown before hand with a question about the Killzone 2 trailer.
Again, anyone with commonsense....
There is absolutely no controversy with the Kz2 target trailer.
So close but not quite there.
The facials, animation, explosions, rocket trails still need improvement. And the explosions - which are truly awesome in the trailer - can be easily copied/achieved. Spectacular explosions and rocket trailers would make KZ2 such a rewarding experience just in themselves.
But the thing is, GG could have actually achieved everything scene for scene for the game.
Fck, GG would have made a masterpiece if they created the exact...
...to summarize
Had the xbox never existed then Halo, Gears and all the other great xbox exclusives would have likely been made for the playstations.
Jaffe's no fanboy nor biased. He's a developer that also loves games...of a particular sort....no matter what console.
He said both Gears and Metal were the pinnacle of games this year. And the fact is both games are great. Full stop.
Remember that Gears 2 is a better version of Gears - a a great game in the first place. There's not a significant leap from 1 to 2 because they got so much right with 1 in the first place.
Now...
They should...
Get developers to package games as multi-DVD and Bluray. Did someone say FF on 360?
Simple as.
The Bluray player should have been an optional add on - with a bay to swap in the new unit like PCs. Then the Ps3 would have been more affordable and released at the same time as the xbox 360. How different things would have been.

Yes the technology wasn't the best but what GG was trying to achieve was done with Criterion's Black.
Criterion just had more experience with the hardware than GG. Hell, if Santa Monica Studios made KZ1 then it would have been awesome game.
And I'm a PS fanboy.
The Halo franchise is just too huge and fans too loyal.
Unlike the picky picky PS fanbase.
Okay boys, I did say I'm a PS fanboy. It's just the PS fanbase is more diverse and doesn't have the hardcore FPS gamers that the xbox 360 has - reflecting in sales. Never has and unlikely never will. Suppose that what we get with diversity.
Black was a worthy FPS effort by Criterion and they are bound to improve leaps and bounds with a sequel on the next-gens... and make alot $$ if they copy if not better CoD4. And to apply a sequel to a large open world with planes/vehicles like in Burnout would be awesome.
Although Burnout is their main money maker, Black 2 or a new IP would go over well with us gamers with likely very good sales.
Class outfit, Criterion.
I mean Helghast
But not because of the "Incredible Hype" because there isn't any; well, any being made by Sony that is - just the Ps3 critics.
Yes, "the reviewers and such are really going to have a field day with this one" not because they are gamers BUT because many are biased fanboys who just don't like Sony.
I mean honestly. We've been waiting "an Agonizingly long time for this game" because Guerilla Games isn't as experienced with games developmen...
Gamers were using GoW for God of War way before Gears came out.
That's what I'm thinking what Black 2 will deliver.
Indeed, Criterion is a classy outfit like Infinity Ward. Hopefully they will copy a few tricks from CoD4 to add to their own impressive interpretation of the real world shooter genre and produce another nirvanah for shooter fans as they did with Black.
BTW. I reckon Infinity Ward borrowed a few tricks from Black when they made CoD4. Play it again and you'll see what I mean.
Might have to give YDL another go as well. Hope the Ubuntu, OpenSuse are granted access as well.
BTW. Sony should have just bought the YDL developer and made their own sleek, fast, OPTIMIZED linux distro for the Ps3 - Sony Linux OS. Plus preinstall on the Ps3. It's not too late.
C'mon Sony....then port it to the PC. Hell yeah!!!
...if Apple decides to develop a DEDICATED portable game console.
Serious pawnage me thinks. I'll buy the iGame day one.
it is not a dedicated portable game console like the PsP.
But Sony should copy the touch screen and motion control for the PsP2 from the iphone/itouch.
@IdleLeeSiuLung
you are a troll in a bad disguise. Ranting about BC again.....old school troll bait. Pathetic.
We all bought a Ps3 not a Ps2 and got exactly what we wanted.
However....
** YOU ** bought a $600 ps3 that didn't have BC and ** YOU ** knew it. Now, ** YOU ** are complaining that it hasn't any BC. WTF.
Summary: ** You ** are either a troll or a real idiot. Wait a minute. Is there any difference?
