[QUOTE="-oG-ShAdY"][QUOTE="Ultra-Alue"]I was just wondering if you could name a shooter that came out and then had another shooter come out a year later that completely trumped it and made everyone forget about the first?Ultra-Alue
That happens about every single year. It just depends on how popular the given game is.
Doom comes out, Quake comes out and is considered better in about every aspect to the gamer public. In recent years the opinion of many seems to have changed.
Quake 2 comes out, Half-Life comes out and the majority of online gamers go to Half-Life.
There is no definitive first person shooter, at least not anymore these days. Exspecially not on a console. That's just rubbish. Halo was the first one considered to be the definitive console shooter, but anyone who had a good history with computer shooters would know that Halo isn't exactly what anyone would call revolutionary, and alot of people seem to forget about GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64. Which was the first truely great console shooter.
The chances of Killzone 2 being definitive... it's just silly to think about. First off you don't know anything about the game, it's best to talk when you at least have some knowledge on the subject. Second, while the first one wasn't that horrible, it wasn't that great either. And there were alot of other better first person shooters on the PS2. Quake 3 Arena, Black, several of the Medal of Honor games, Half-Life, Time Splitters, Red Faction, Area 51, Unreal Tournament, and Darkwatch.
Killzone 2 will just be another shooter in a crowded market. All it has behind it is hype, silly british sounding gas mask wearing goons, and a great story. Why the original game didn't focus on the story more is beyond me. Sure they could improve the aspects of the shooting and story telling, but in given time a better shooter will come out and Sony's silly little trump card would be useless then. But that's all up to the consumers.
You were going to get flamed and then all your comments got booted out by this compliment. I don't know why. It's all good though. I agree we have to wait before we hype it, BUT we also have to wait before we put the game down. We have seen nothing since the E3 trailer. So yeah, here's to the next 19 days going fast.
