Guerrilla: 'KillZone 2 SP Campaign will be 10 hours long.'

Link

I presume that is the high-end estimate, since it's coming from the developer. Probably means 6-8 hours for the rest of us.

Are you satisfied? What say you?

10 hours is fine. Especially for an FPS.

In fact, if an FPS surpassed 15-20 hours, I'd be annoyed. The genre is only so entertaining.

so it will be around 15 or 20 hours on hard mode. sounds good to me

Thats about what most FPS's are in length. Its certainly not going to have the replayability of a R2 or Halo 3 tho.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

And you know this how?

Ah well I suppose if that is what is important to you then you will be let down.

Team Death Match or what ever variation of it KZ2 is going to sport will be my game of choice.

around 10 hrs is the perfect length for an FPS game.... we all know that once the sp campaign is done (maybe a couple of times )the majority of our time is spent on mp modes...

as i said in another thread a co-op mode would be a lovely addition to KZ2...

[QUOTE="LightReflection"]I thought co-op was being patched in at a later date? Not sure about that one.Dreams-Visions

lets just be positive and hope GG will maybe release an update round April with 4 new online maps + co-op mode :) (FOR FREE!!!) dreaming is so much fun :)

Maybe.

Its a good amount of time and even at say a +- 2 hrs. that ranges from 8-12 which is not bad especially when compared to 07's best shooter COD4. Coop would be nice but it sounds like the MP suite is fully fleshed out.

And the trophies and difficulties should lend to multiple playthroughs.

I'm kinda surprised that so many are accepting that comment at face value. I think you are all smart enough to know that 10 hours is probably something of an embellishment....Dreams-Visions

i agree with the above, we know that FPS games forte is not their story therefore i can imagine a 20hrs sp campaign would end up with repeating a thousand times the same tasks/objectives in different environments..

I'd rather have a short sp campaing like in COD4 but with a good pacing and action packed sequences... i think a 10hrs campaign is long enough and if GG make sure its well paced and action filled it will surely keep gamers entertained..

with the exception of those which are story-oriented therefore a longer sp campaign is welcome others which are more action oriented i'd rather have a shorter campaign but action packed and well paced... obviously if devs are good enough to have long sp campaigns and still keep it fresh and varied its always welcome :)

Over three years of development and all they could manage is a 10 hour campaign (max)?

I'm tired of 8-10 hour campaigns. We pay $60 for games, why can't we get longer campaigns?

I miss 20 hour campaigns.

Seriously.

It's getting a little silly now.

Don't justify this, it will only encourage devs to continue giving us short games.

And don't use the excuse, "its an FPS", so what?

If you plan on replaying the campaign sometime in the future, chances are you would have been satisfied with a longer campaign.

If an FPS is good, the gameplay will hold up over 20 hours.

Just saying.

Very. Apparently it's intense as hell so you don't want it going on too long.LightReflection

Replayability is what concerns me.

Not sure how a linear shooter - focused on contained 'corridoors' can have it; perhaps different characters and routes like the first KZ.....

Still, if it is good, it should be re-playable and enjoyable each time.

Yeah I read some where that you have to walk to a certain spot to trigger more enemies. I just hope these enemies aren't at the same spots during different play throughs. So I don't mind if it's only 10 hours long, I just hope every playthough is different.one_on_one

KZ 2 is not Bioshock or Half-Life.

The meat of the game, like COD 4, will be the online MP.

And since it's first party, you KNOW there is already DL content being developed.

No problem.

its not bad for an FPS having a 10hrs sp campaign but I think GG made a bad decision not putting a co-op mode... lets hope they release an update/patch in which co-op is available..

Btw is it true that the game is expected to get released 1st week of Feb in EU ?

I know what you are coming from but I for one do not enjoy long FPS. Resistance I am looking at you. I am not saying that FPS should be only 10hrs but I am saying for a title like K2 anything longer could ruin the game into a backtracking repetitive mess. R2 for example, I felt that the story was very shallow but I enjoyed the pacing of the action to the point that I enjoyed beating the game twice in 2 days. But this is only my opinion.GranReyUno

Yeah, i like to play my games slowly, to get the most enjoyment out of them.lusitanogamer

If it were a 360 game, the reactions wouldn't be that positive, I'm sure.
