Negative 1up preview of KZ2

I think everyone on this forum (minus fanboys) knows that this game was doomed from the start.

CoD4 could be knocked for nearly everything this guy knocked KZ2 for, yet CoD4 was awesome and fun.

The person hosting the demo shouldn't have said anything about the respawning guys, because the player would have seen that the Hellghast were bringing in reinforcements, etc., and keep moving. CoD4, if I remember, also infinitely spawned people, untill you moved ahead to the next position....

I see no problems here

Great point. COD4 was amazing because of the non-stop war action feel. But the relentless attack was tiring in some areas.

P.S. Wall-E! Pixar are godlike :).

Not doomed. Unless you mean "doomed to mediocrity" which seems quite evident from what I've seen so far.

[QUOTE="Cyberfairy"]well IGN thought it was amazing. IGN > 1upbungie93

This may sound crazy, but IGN's PS3 team has some of the most rabid fanboys I have ever seen. They gave Resistance, Uncharted, Folklore, and Ratchet and Clank AAA scores. They said they would have given MGS4 an 11.

So instead that should follow Gamespots lead and not give any PS3 exclusives AAAe's? :lol:

No they should give honest review scores. Resistance, Uncharted, Folklore and R & C certianly don't deserve AAA scores. And MGS4 getting an 11? Are you f'ing kidding me. They are fanboys.

:lol:

Gamerankings:

R&C: 88%

Uncharted 89%

Those are closer to IGNs score than to gamespots score. GG. Though, they did overrate Folklore, i'll give you that. Resistance can go either way so it doesn't really matter. And that 11 was just a jab at how awesome he found the game to be, it still got a 10.. the same as GS's score.

COD4 is also on 360 while Killzone 2 is not.

lmfao unfortunately since im at work i kinda did have fun drawing those red lines =(

anyway I think the time is like 4 years, i still think they're going to fix a lot of stuff within the 7 months.

Also this is the only really negative preview i've seen, it seems like he has a chip on his shoulder with the game before even seeing it, a lot of other major sites have given positive previews and numerous positive previews > 1 bad one.

You can't expect people to follow that logic. MGS4 is at a 93, which is a great score btw,on game rankings and metacritic. The general gaming world deemed it one way but people keep holding on to one review and screaming AAAAE, best game ever. Its not even the #1 rated PS3 game, but people keep screaming best game ever at the top of their lungs.

[QUOTE="Cipher92"][QUOTE="blitzkid1"]Gears Of War 2 will own this crap.nicenator

If you listen to the 1up podcasts, you'll know the exact same person who wrote this preview levelled almost the exact same criticisms at Gears 2.

Have the press even been allowed to play the single player campaign of Gears 2?

It's 95 at Meta :). An amazing score. Gamerankings is horrible.

Oh and before you forget, the game doesnt come out for 7months.

Yeah... I don't think they will take away the gray-tint, infinite respawn points and having to find a rocket launcher that just happens to be in a place you need one to blow up a bridge you HAVE to blow up to go on... now, if a rocket launcher could blow up a bridge, why can't it blow up buildings and concrete? One of the few mysteries of Killzone!

I don't really trust 1up, there inconsistent sometimes and if they have some sort of presumption of how good the game will be in, in most cases they're bias towards their presumption. munu9

Well a while back 1up was hyping it up pretty heavily.

Stuff bungie93

Old and the newest preview is from EGM and they love it.

These things are incredibly nitpicky. He never mentions if the combat is fun or not. He never mentions if the enemies have good A.I. or not. It's like a rant about the minute things he doesn't like. Infinite respawns can be done well. Look at COD4.

The only thing that I see is the rocket launcher. It would be nice to have to hold the enemiy off until a convoy with rocket launchers come in or an air strike.

Dude, 1up was shown one level. In the latest EGM they say that the game will be spread out in the Hellghan world wich means there will be more natural zones just like the first one.
