Killzone 3 looks utterly amazing. I am more impressed by Killzone 3's graphics than any other current or upcoming shooter.
Video games are never realistic. I guarantee they would be very boring if they were.
In real life if you get shot in the head or a vital organ you are dead, period. No continues either.
A game that tried to be completely realistic wouldn't work as a game.
My GOTY contenders are:
Mass Effect 2
God of War 3
Alan Wake
Heavy Rain
Red Dead Redemption
Halo Reach
Games that I haven't played yet but think might end up possibly being GOTY contenders are:
Castlevania Lord of Shadows
Little Big Planet 2
Fable 3
Bathyj, of course Reach isn't going to have the same graphical jump over Halo 3 as GOW3 did over GOW2, since Reach is on the same console while GOW3 and GOW2 are on totally different generations of hardware.
I am a big fan of both franchises and I can say for a fact that Reach has just as many improvements and new features over Halo 3 as between GOW3 and GOW2, probably more.
I don't think you understand his point. You are being contradictory because you are saying that Halo Reach doesn't have a high enough meta score to be game of the year but then you also say that God of War 3 is in the running to be GOTY even though it has the same meta score. Sounds biased to me.
Yeah it's a fantastic game. Better than Halo 3 in basically every way.
That's all fine and dandy, but I don't only play exclusives. I want to play 3rd party cross platform games too, and I want them to at least look and perform as good as they do on the competing consoles.
I don't really buy the idea that a console has to be hard to develop for in order for us to see improvements. Games on the 360 have continued to get better too, even though it was easier to develop for. Gears of War 3 and Halo Reach both look a lot better than p...
I am happy to hear this. I love my PS3 a lot, but one of the only things I wish is that 3rd party developers didn't have to struggle so much to make their games run well on it.
Ideally Sony's next console will be really powerful, but also easy to make games for. That will be the absolute best scenario. Just imagine, we could get all the awesome 1st part Sony exclusives, but we would also get more 3rd party games and they would look and run very well.
That was a nice, balanced review. I generally agree with your take on the game's negatives and positives. Overall, though, it's the best game in the Halo franchise in my opinion.
Even though I prefer my PS3 over my Wii and 360 I respect all three for the great games they provide and I am often ashamed of my fellow PS3 gamers. I don't really want to be lumped in with that camp even though my PS3 is my favorite console.
I loved Heavenly Sword but actually it did have screen tearing.
I haven't been this excited for a Halo game ever. I wish it would just get here. I'm waiting for UPS to bring it to my house.
I love Demon's Souls, but it is far from being a perfect game.
It doesn't matter though. I'm in the camp that think a 10 does not mean "perfect", it just means a game that shouldn't be missed.
How ridiculous. I am a PS3 fan more than a 360 fan, but what you said is really absurd.
Basically what you said is that people can have different opinions about Halo Reach, but that everybody has to have the same opinion about Uncharted 2.
Uncharted 2 is by far one of my favorite games of all time, but that doesn't mean that everybody has to agree with me. I think Uncharted 2 and Halo Reach are superb games that the majority of people will enjoy.
To troll of course.
Agreed. ODST was actually my favorite Halo since Combat Evolved. I hope Reach surpasses both of them for me.
Good to see. Halo Reach is my most anticipated game on the 360 this year.
Interesting. Good point. It seems out of many big franchises Halo is one of the least milked.
I don't care what all the haters say, Halo Reach looks freaking amazing and I can't wait to play it.
When I first saw footage of Killzone 3 I was very impressed and I thought it was an improvement over Killzone 2, but I wasn't sure it was a very big improvement. Now that I have seen a lot more footage from Gamescom, PAX and Tokyo Game Show I am fully convinced that the graphics have been improved quite a lot.
