Half a year later. Did Killzone 2 reach it's goal?

Guerilla tried their best but the game is plain average in every caregory except graphics. They just don't have talent.

looks like it sold just under 2 million worldwide. Not great, but not awful.Jandurin

Generic campaign levels that feel like a poor CoD clone, forgettable characters, sub par writing, meh story, and some parts just feel like a chore overall.

The multiplayer is a bit better but it really just blends together a bunch of elements from other better games and isn't good enough to pull people away from franchises like CoD or Battlefield. Its not a bad game its just standard fare for an FPS.

This reminds me of that Magazine, was it game informer, anyway I believe they said Killzone 2 biggest flaw was it not being released for the Xbox360 as well :lol:

Well guerilla is giving access to all sony inhouse right?

I think so, i read somewhere this engine is going to be used in other games, I don't really remember though if that was about the uncharted 2 engine or KZ2 engine but I think Sony parties share alot of tech.

In the god of war 3 trailer, the sky looks somehow the same as in KZ2 so I think they learned to do that from GG.

look at the first moments in the trailer.

I think with the engines of both KZ2 and Uncharted Sony has two superb engines to work with.

Now this is a question for people who have ACTUALLY played the game. It's been half a year now. And a lot of us have been wowed and disapointed in Killzone 2 But for those who have playd it, do you think guerilla achieved what it was trying to reach? As far as Graphics/Gameplay go?

this game is a good step up but i think they can do better with the bots and cover fire...and vehicles would be nice the maps seem big enough

It's top 5 FPS's of all time to me....so yes I'd say they did!

nope im sure geurilla games wishes they some how made that game for both or exclusivley for 360 lol, the sales for PS3 were just weak

but on to the game, i loved the single player but rarely play the multiplayer

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"]If their goal was to make a solid game, I must say they've done it. I don't think anyone expected good scores after seeing the first game do terrible.Alpha-Male22

I mean take a look at rare, they made outstanding games for n64, but they havent made anything amazing on the 360, they are ok/good games, but nothing on the level of their n64 work.

For myself I was one of the Rare people that actually liked Killzone 1 back on the PS2 so if there goals was to create a game which built up on the universe of Killzone 1 then yes, They vastly improved it and I actually still play the MP and just need to get the new Map Pack. Personally I cannot wait till KZ3 (when ever that is out)

[QUOTE="Couth_"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] Beach head is a ton of fun. I still need to get napalm and the other one. But im just trying soooooooooooooo hard to beat radec on elite. It's impossible!Animal-Mother

Hide by the left staircase so the rocket guys can't get you and equip a SMG since it has the most ammo. You'll be close by to them so you will be accurate. Just kill them all slowly and one at a time and you'll be fine.

I suppose they did hit their goal, but I think they should have aimed a bit higher. The game ended up being less distinctive in terms of gameplay, with the cover system not doing all that much, especially since it wasn't worked into the multiplayer. Also, the campaign actually had less personality than Gears of War, which is sad. :|

EDIT: I mean to say that the cover system was fun and it worked, but it didn't make up for the lack of secondary fire on the guns. And it's so clear as to how little effort was put into the characters, and the story had huge opportunities to be great but it just didn't.

Yes, they absolutely did.

i think they did, it set the bar pretty high for gameplay, i haven't played a fps that good before, call of duty 4 was good thought, crysis isn't bad but i really liked killzone 2 better

It was better on all levels than the original so I'll say they did

Your not the only one. I actually liked and beat KZ1. Even though it had very obvious problems.

Probably my favorite shooter. I was pulled in by Killzone 1's (yes, I loved the first one...) art style, settings, and as someone already mentioned, the awesome story that doesn't seem to be targeted enough through gameplay (reading manuals/loading screens help explain a lot of the Killzone universe's history).

Yes GG really did well with KZ2 ............. My fav fps this gen.

But funny seeing lems here bash this game .............. Generic gameplay ? C`mon gimme a break. It`s a fps genre what do you expect ?

And KZ 2 selling nearly 2 millions now seems bad ? Tell me you guys are joking.
