Yesterday, I was watching the developer video of Killzone 2. Anyway, I watched and watched and watched... I couldn't stop from thinking: This looks nowhere near as fun as Resistance was. I mean, Resistance had all of these amazing weapons, tons of variety in enemies, enviornments with more than three colors... It just doesn't look like the kind of game I could sit and play for an hour. Does anybody feel the same way? I just don't think Killzone 2 looks that fun...

Halo 3: Why all of the hype?Vyse_Legends

I wasn't trying to start a war between Halo and Killzone. :| I don't even like Halo. Though, based on what we've seen of Killzone 2 and Halo 3 so far, Halo 3 is looking a lot more fun...

Well of course Halo 3 is looking more fun because we've seen more of it. I wasn't trying to start a war I was just asking a question.

you are assuming all this based on ONE level? ONE demo?

Well, the developers aren't showing off their game very well, now are they? I mean, if they want to show people some of the different things in their game, they would show some interesting, new things that other games aren't doing.

i think that they just need to show some more weapons than the basics for sure but the graphics still blow me away because the gameplay flows right into mind blowing cutscenes but it deffinutly needs to show more parts of the game but it leaves you wanted more i guess

I never said that the game doesn't look amazing, I just think it looks bland and it doesn't look fun.

its an FPS what do you expect? its not meant to be fun unless youre a fan. and theres only so much you can milk out of a genre. Look at WWII games....

It's still early dude. Give them some slack. The graphics looks amazing after all. Do you remember the first time Resistance was shown? I don't lol but I bet it wasn't anywhere near as great as the final game was.

i am sure that killzone will be a lot better than some crappy halo with stupid helmets it looks so tasteless . i dont have ps3 but killzone2 will blow our heads off and games like resitance will be forgotten after all rfom was a start up title and taht one is been waiting since the beggining.also for me only crysis can stand against killzone2 right now

I think Killzone 2 looks so much better that Resistance and many other shooters I've seen. I'm a more realistic type of person. Killzone 2 gives it larger sense of realism compared to Resistance. Killzone is more like Gran Turismo in the sense that it isn't about going at high speeds and doing turns with out braking, it's about giving it that sense of realism, while Resistence is like Need for Speed and Midnight Club where it's all about you can go as fast as you want even on the sharpest turns and never slow down with unlimited nitrous and what not. Personally, I think the Need for Speed series died after High Stakes on the PS1 and I've never like Midnight Club, but that's not the point. The point is, Killzone 2 is much more realistic.

So far we've seen one level. The environment gives it that lack of color and also use of filters. I'm sure in other environments there is going to be more color. It looks really great after watching the gameplay.

I think the game looks amazing, both looks and play, As stated before this is only one level we have seen so far, i cant wait till they show some daytime game play footage,that will show what the games made of, it you dont already think the game rock's. I think saying that KZ2 is gonna be like the GT of shooters is just about right haha

Killzone 2 is gonna be sick dude. The game still has a lot of dam time to be worked on. So by the time the game is gonna be done its probably gonna have a lot of color instead of black and white. Also it has cover tactics which is better than run and gun.

I think KB/M would ruin the game b/c theres no PC counter part of KB/M users like in UT3. It'd divide the ps3 KZ2 community.

don't judge a game's variety based on 20min footage of it's first level. The game seems "intense" and the cover mechanics seems well placed, as far as variety goes we need to wait to see another level.

Killzone 2 looks fun, not in the way its all fast paced and such like resistance or halo, but it just has good shooting action. Plus, with those graphics, I'll never get tired of looking at it.

With all the time they are giving themselves to work on killzone, i think theyll take out the good parts from the first game like the crazy weapons, but put in the elements that make fps so addicting. IM WAY PHYCED FOR THIS GAME

I personally think Killzone 2 looks just amazing. Everything about it looks killer. But even if you are not a fan of shooters, you have to be pumped for games that are definently sell systems because that means more exclusives and more money to third party developers. Good things, good things are coming...

you are assuming all this based on ONE level? ONE demo?

I wonder which one of those translates into "fun". I see you have forgotten or just plain ignored the original posters point, that the game doesn't look fun. Yes it looks great. But if I want super realistic graphics like crysis or killzone2, then i'll just watch a movie or go outside or something and look at something, you know, real, not something trying to look real. If I want great looking games (DMC4, Eternal Sonata, and yes, Halo3) with great stylized graphics, then i'll play a game. So does it look fun? Well if it ANYTHING like Killzone 1, then i say no, and that is what it is looking like. (and yes I have played alot of PS3, not impressed which the lack of "fun" in games)

Not looking fun and not being fun are two different things. I thought the Wii looked fun, until I bought one and hated it.

If you don't like the look of something, or don't think you'll like it, just don't buy it.

I'm the last person you'd expect to hear this from, but I'm actually pretty hyped over Killzone 2. The first one left a bad taste in my mouth, but I really think they can pull off something great with the sequel.

I must be a weird one because I found Resistance's gameplay to be boring, repeptitive and just not fun at all once you got past the first couple of levels, and to go along with it, I actually liked the first Killzone! I think the weapons in Killzone are some of the coolest futuristic weapons ever. I'm a realistic shooter fan though, so Resistance just came off as not being my thing, but I loved the "atmosphere" of the first Killzone, even if the gameplay did have someugly quirks.

i kind of like the coloring schem, atleast of that one level. it really shows how war torn the city is. and im not tryin to start anything, but i didnt really like resistance as much as everyone else. yeah it was a well made game, but nothing that made me go wow, u know. so far KZ2 is lookin really good to me, and yes the graphics look amazing, showing the true power that the ps3 is capable of. i just hope the AI and game mechanics are equally amazing bc if theyre not, sooner or later ill get tired of the game

I really don't get too hyped off of shooters. I think this will be a good game, I'm just not waiting for it like say.....GTA4, MGS4, FF13, or any good story driven game. I usually play shooters just for the multi-player.

Resistance didn't have THAT much colour in it....Chimera were based on grey and black. The enviornments (special the ones in cities) were also full of grey and the occasional tree...But it was fun :D

We only saw one level of KZ2 and 2 weapons....It's obvious that the same level will have the same colour scheme...

Lets wait and see what will KZ2 turn out to be.

Killzone is gonna be so much better then Resistance. The game definetly looks like fun,and the visual aspects are definetly superior. The developers are only giving you a tease. You will see more of the game. I think they just wanted to show the power of the game being the visuals and controls. It will definetly be harder then Resistance, at least i hope so. Blew through that game no problem. I dont think you should start to judge this game from what you have seen as of now. Be patient and wait to see what else it has to offer and decide if it is lame and boring.
