If Killzone 2 wasnt "unique",

Then why is it that so many games are trying to emulate it??? I see that Lost Planet 2 trailer from yesterdaylooked exactly like the Killzone 2 trailer from a year and a half ago, and that 2033 game looks like it was built with the same engine as Killzone 2 used. There were also another game from a GI article that looked like a bogus Killzone 2 with a lot of tropical colors. All I am saying isthat people should stopwith the calling Killzone 2 "bland" and "generic", because it is indeedthe flagship title this gen for realism.

It is obvious that you have not played Metro 2033... If you have you would know that it looks at least 123489072390457890 times better then Killzone 2.

And Killzone 2 is the flagship title this gen for realism? LOL, try Arma 2. Killzone 2 is hardly realistic.

Games were black, brown, and gray before Killzone 2.

so a game having good graphics+forgetting that they can change the background design from Grayscale to RGBY automatically makes them copies of KZ2?

I played it and beat it, and there was nothing great or unique about the game. It was a fun game but, what are you talking about?

They were on a different planet. Who knows if flowers exist?? As for the rainbows.. you have a point. Except well in the levels it was either raining. or it wasnt. No stopping of the rain during a level.

They were on a completely different planet than Earth. It was extremely polluted and desolate, the gray colors make sense with the setting.

Soliders could crush flowers beneath their combat boots while a rainbow appears behind them as the sun reflects off of their enemy's blood.

Yes, I have both and can max out Metro in DX10.

the only unique redeeming factor that I saw in kz 2 was the streamline objective shifts in warzone matches.

other than that it was a solid, run-of the mill futuristic shooter with satisfying gunplay and pretty graphics.

Killzone 2's campaign was very good but its the multiplayer where it shines. I played CoD4 online a lot then moved over to Killzone 2, both excellent online shoters.

Also very different games. As much as any other FPS to another.

[QUOTE="akbar13"] Flowers are natural and still grow even during war, and after it rains there should be a rainbow.akbar13

It is quite unique you use motion control to set bombs and open valves. You have a cover mechanism you have amazing graphics and has a unique control 'feel' to it.

It isn't any more or any less unique than other FPSs (though less unique than games like Half-Life and Bioshock).

grizzlybear1

1. Tacked on motion control is not that rare.

2. I agree with the cover mechanism.

3. Lots of games have amazing graphics.

4. I find that most major FPS have a certain "feel" to the way they control.

Killzone 2 is one of the best FPS this gen, but I do think that people try a little too hard to prove that it's unique instead of simply arguing that it hits at the rights notes for being a great FPS.

The setting is just an excuse to make the game gray.akbar13

LOL. Do you really think the developers couldn't have made the game colorful if they wanted to?

It's pretty freaking obvious that the color scheme was used to create a certain atmosphere.

The whole "it's grey, it sucks" talking point is one of the most facepalmworthy in SW IMO. Games should have whatever color scheme fulfills the vision of the makers or is appropriate.

grizzlybear1

I wouldn't describe it as "golden" exactly, but you bring upa good point.

There ARE other colors besides grey and brown. Just because thecolors are not bright primary colors doesn't mean there is only grey and brown.

Every game accused for being just "grey and brown" actually has alot more colors then grey and brown. The grey and brown talking point is just the usual SW hyperbole.

Yeah, the OP fails pretty hard. Saying that a game with tropical colors is trying to emulate Killzone 2 is stretching pretty damn hard.

lol, then i guess Killzone 2 was a copy of call of duty? Because the multiplayer is similar, gameplay is similar, and has many scripted events like it.............oh, and every other shooter is a copy of the one before it i suppose? navyguy21

There's about as much simelarity betwen CoD and KZ2 as there is betwen Mass Effect 2 and Fallout 3.
