There was no hype.
There was just a lot of hatred for KZ2 and KZ3.
"It wont look as good as that trailer"
It does
"The AI is really poor"
Best AI in any shooter ever
"It doesnt innovate"
cover, weighted weapons, team-based-multiplayer
"The story is so weak"
Unlike those giants of storytelling CoD and Halo
"The environments all look the same"
Best jungle in ...

agree with you, DLC this earlt should not be allowed.
"To the point that I know for a fact that I'll be converting to playing shooters on the PC once BF3 launches this Fall. There's just no way the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions will look anywhere near as good."
I agree, I have stopped playing PC games for the last 3 years, use my PS3 and 360for gaminng, but this game probably deserves a new PC gaming rig for me.
And for both this series and KZ2/3, the graphics are super-awesome but not the only dra...
MAG on the PS3.
Socom on PS2, from what I hear (never played it, eager to try socom 4)
Double post
Very good article, nice read indeed.
Very accurately put..sadly
"Sony eventually acknowledged that even its own developers were struggling with the console"
Such as Insomniac and Naughty Dog?
Ratchet and Uncharted were launched in less than a year. Still look better than any game on "easy to develop for" Xbox 360.
Incidentally, we were also told the PS3's cell is useless for gaming, it has inadequate RAM and the graphics card is too weak. Any explanation for the gap in graphics between KZ2,...
Yawn
Heard the same people claim Bayonetta was the best game ever. Nobody even remembers that game after a year, and the same will happen to the awfully generic, average looking game that is being hyped up to counter KZ3
"let's face it a mediocre franchise"
claims someone who lists Halo among his favourite games. Enuff said.
You forgot:
Shouldnt be a PS3 exclusive
Infamous and Protoype
GoW3 and Bayonetta
KZ3 and Bulletstorm
So what's new?
What part of this
"poked some fun at his studio's work"
is not clear to you?
Three obvious differences:
1. No targeting of aa specific community for extinction (jews) or death camps on Helghan
2. No concept of lebensraum, the basis of the attack on Russia to create more "living space" and grab resources
3. The Helghan were the aggrieved party - forced to leave the more hospitable Vekta , which they rightfully ow...
The new plasma TVs are apparently better at preventing burn
But I agree, a gaming TV should be LCD just to be safe.
Even though I have switched to consoles for gaming, this is one game I would play on PC. Too many great memories of being huddled in front of the monitor, hands on mouse and kb, hiding in the dark, waiting for the first guard to pass before a sweet thud of the blackjack on the next one...good old days.
people should have to pass a test before they can be eligible to be parents.
Though Splinter Cell and MGS are more hyped, I foundd the stealth dynamics in Thief to be better. Especially the use of light to remain in cover and the quality of sound detection by enemy AI
"I personally think Gears 2 was a way better game than Killzone 2"
yes, but You aren’t paid to give your opinions. Otherwise I would expect you to base your “opinion” on objective standards, not empty words
As I said, I have objective, defensible reasons for saying KZ2 was better. It had better graphics, better enemy AI, and much more stable, with equally poor story, and equally good gameplay. I havent seen anyone disagree with what I said, yet Gears 2 gets ...
Please dont change the gameplay.
Its funny how comments change from meaningless words such as "great, spectacular, memorable, kick-ass" for Gears 3 to "generic, brings nothing new, does not advance the genre, lacking, only near-perfect" for KZ3
Its pretty simple.
Score sections: graphics, AI, lack of bugs/clitches, gameplay, story, content, innovation.
The reason reviewers wouldnt do that is because it would bring out the bias (GT5 scored lower for longevity/conte...
Completely different games, even though they are both FPS. Resistance + Killzone + MAG is the dream FPS package, even though (or rather because) they vary massively in gameplay, approach and yes, graphics as well.
