What can separate Killzone 2 from other FPS's?

Sure, the game looks very cinematic, great graphics and such.
but what could make it stand out among other first person shooters?
All i've seen that sets it apart is the cover system, and the blind firing.
I REALLY hope this game does well, partly just to silence the ones who doubt it.
I just need to see something amazing from it.

oh, and the weather looks pretty sweet on it :P

The cover system for one. And the intense atmosphere the gameplay footage showed off. Not many shooters have the intensity that Killzone 2 looks to have.

..but what could make it stand out among other first person shooters?..liamabob

Not much.

Looks like a run-of-the-mill FPS to me, just like UT, Quake, Doom, Halo, Resistance, Haze and others.. People hype all of them when they're all pretty much the same thing over and over again.

In the case of Haze and Killzone, I think you're being much too simplistic.

The first Killzone, while flawed, still had new hud and close encounter elements. And Haze is going to have grappling for crying out loud--Not to mention you can screw with your enemies by targeting their nectar feed. None of those game have that feature.

Resistance I'll partially agree with you on; it is generic. The weapons, while innovative, don't really add to the fact that its reticle gameplay is exactly like the others. But I still retain that it has the best story of the bunch.

Other than that though, yeah. UT, Halo, Quake, and Doom are a dime a dozen.

Being good?

Haha, nahi think it'll just feel immersive, only one ive ever been truely sucked into was condemned.

the first person cover system might be huge. while it isn't guaranteed to be awesome, or even completely functional... its uniqueness will make it a worthwhile feature if it works.

Yeah I agree. Maybe they could make the multiplayer unique by thinking of different game modes and stuff like that. In SP hopefully they get the cover system right and have alot of action and bullets flying around in the gritty environment so everything is intense. They are going in the right direction with the no HUD thing and they seem to have a good idea of what people want so hopefully it can be an FPS that really stands out.

So, if the HUDs gone, how are we gonna know our health status, I dont wanna be playing and suddenly fall dead on the ground.

Anyway killzone looks great, tough Ive never played any game in the series.

probably some visual signal... like blurry vision.

as for ammo counts... i believe Guerrilla said that all guns will have a counter on them.

Yeah as c0mplex said,some visual signal, like COD for example, and yeah, ammo counts on guns.
