why is everyone hypeing Kill Zone 2?(Poll)

I personally think the game dosen't look very good at this point. The shooting dosen't look good or sound good at all. and the graphics and AI also seem to be lacking. And really why are the graphics being praised so much? They look good but I really don't think they are at the same level as "mind blowing" like gears of war whch game out 2 years ago on consles.

Not to mention we are all hypeing a sequel to a game which flopped pretty badly:o.

does anyone else agree with me here?

looks good, but gears 2 wiull annihilate it. why they hype killzone 2: it's the only good shooter in the future for ps 3.

You're wrong KZ2 will be AAAE,the game wipes the floor with crysis and gears or any other game coming...you're just jealous and this time the game wont flop i dont know whats the problem with the original KZ i enjoyed the game,or is because ur pc and xbox360 dont have good looking games like KZ2?McdonaIdsGuy

Gears of War 2 will sell more. Crysis guaranteed has better graphics. Gears 2 is bigger. Killzone 2 will be forgotten. face it.

i dont see a big difference between kz 2 and cod4

mmmm

I think COD4 looks better then KZ2 to be honest:?

THE GRAPHICS

Which to be honest, do look incredible.

I think someone in this thread needs these.

Another why is everybody hyping Killzone 2 thread:(

Maybe the hypes for graphics and it's a exclusive

Personally I think this game has the potential to be something special.

1) the graphics, animation and all that stuff is unmatched

2) the sound is amazing, god knows how anyone can disagree, the sound ofthat machine gun is brilliant.

3) the I seemed good to me... They took cover, moved around, and generally did a good job. Remember the guy demoing it has played before many times

4) Theres something about the atmosphere of this game that seems really interesting. You can tell that the game will be pretty adult and all. The helghast are a really cool enemy and I can imagine the story will be something good. It has all the right pieces, enemy planet, awsome, eeire enemies ect.

And the online looks to be good too :)

mmmm

Im starting to think you are all blinded by something>_>

Really the shooter looks very very linear and the animation is good but I still don't see whats so special about these graphics.

Maybe its becuase you are a pc gamer or something...

Maybe cod4 on the pc does look better, on consoles though, theres no competition.

I enjoyed the first Killzone but it wasnt great. Seriously screw the graphics comparison unless you plan to be an idiot and stand in the middle of the map spending 3 hours a day looking at just graphics. As long as the graphics are good enough to say its worthy to be called current generation graphics nobody cares one bit because it all boils down to the factors that usually make a game or a action shooter in this case fun, Gameplay. Halo 3 and Gears of war are good because of gameplay and generally how high quality they are. People dont go out to the local retailer and say I want the game with the best graphics. No one in the PS3 world really cares or even talks about Killzone 2's graphics and its really just the people who have a 360 that talk about it and bother comparing it to the graphical king(gears of war) of the Xbox 360 as if its the standard for every videogame out there.

The few people who hype Killzone 2 hype it for the same reason why everyone hyped Too Human.

Besides Killzone 2 will be crap.

So SOCOM:Confrontation, Resistance 2, and MAG aren't good (potentially) exclusive shooters?

Name one 360 future exclusive shooter besides Gears 2 that looks promising.

KZ2 looks VERY promising. As a fan of shooters how can you not be interested in what the are doing with KZ2?

Linear has nothing to do with graphics. Graphics include the following: character models, lighting, post processing effects, textures, animations, particle and other various effects. KZ2 has it all. Look at some of the vids :).

That's like a cow saying they see nothing special about Gears 2's graphics! You guys are insane :lol:.

The problem with KZ2 is that technicallythe game is not impressive AT ALL. the textures are some of the worst (even though most people dont realise that you good textures mean high resolution textures, not pretty ones), terrible AA and its a CORRIDOR shooter. there is not much rendering at all. people fail to use rational logic on this forum.

now, the real problem with KZ2 is its motion blur. its ridiculous amount of motion blur which hides EVERYTHING. The game looks like ass in STILL screens, because of low poly everything, terrible textures, and lack of AA but AMAZING in motion because of the blur. this accomplishes two things. 1. it reveals how stupid and gullible the fans of the game are, and 2. it reveals how brilliant the developers are. The burden for the rest of the generation will be for other companies who release their games with ridiculously more advanced engines such as the UE3.5 (yes that includes gears of war 2 whether you like it or not), to actually convince these brainwashed fools that no KZ2 doesn't come close to many other games technically even though it looks BEST to the EYE with its blur and AMAZING animations.

I can bet that "cool reloading animations" in KZ2 etc will get boring after 5 minutes.

Motion blur does not hide everything in the videos (maybe screen buffers which also washes out texture detail). How can you say that KZ2 is not technically impressive? Are you serious? I'm guessing you haven't seen any previous builds :?.

Try spinning around really fast in real life. There will be motion blur :).

I think from the footage that I have seen, that Killzone 2 looks fantastic. Hands on previews from both journalists and regular players at conventions has also been positive.

I am sure it won't be a ground-breaking, genre defining game, but I am fairly certain it will be a fun, enjoyable, great-looking game that I will be buying.

SpruceCaboose

Yeah. But it's hard for a game to be gorund-breaking these days. I would say KZ2 has some very unique multiplayer features that will set it apart from the crowd though.

I can bet that "cool reloading animations" in KZ2 etc will get boring after 5 minutes.

Lidve

Hell im even bored now and game is not even out.

Too much "stylish cool teenage" moves every video looks same "kill guy cool reload kill more explosion"

War is not like that

My thoughts exactly. Both sides arecrazy fro thinking either game doesn't look AMAZING. Both Gears 2 and KZ2 are artistically and technically impressive.

Well, if you complain about KZ2 due to this then you must complain about 95% of all shooters :(.

Good point.

I still believe that it will be a solid AA title to most *credible* review sites. Given GS's history of unpredictable scores, I won't even guess at a score for her though.

Killzone 2 is not striving for realism. Most games do not. Neither do most movies. They go for a more interesting "hyper-reality". Sometimes called hyper-stylized.

I am absolutely serious that KZ2 is NOT technicaly impressive. and stop with the excuses that maybe its screen buffers. idiot. Its brainwashed people like you that other developpers who will be releasing games even BEFORE KZ2 will have trouble convincing of anything even if they waved it in your foolish faces. KZ2 may look pretty to your eyes, but its not when you look at the technology.

Calling me an idiot? If you can't respect me as a person with an opinion, then you must be an idiot :(. That was highly uncalled for. What are you 12 years old and get upset whenever someone talks positive about a game you don't like?

How am I brainwashed? Am I also brainwashed because I believe games like Gears 2 and Bioshock are technically impressive? No. Because you most likely agree with that.

So I guess GameSpot is lying as well? KZ2 is technically impressive. Since you are an "expert" I guess you won't care...

"Given the tech focused nature of the trailer there were some showy moments revolving around blowing out individual windows in a warehouse area as well as another sequence that showed shafts of light coming in through holes being blown in a structure. Light also figured prominently in a sequence that showed the light on a soldier's rifle illuminating a dimly lit area. An extended sequence also focused on assorted soldiers getting plugged full of bullets in different venues, which yielded the expecting twitching and flailing. The humanoid and vehicle focused action was livened up at the end of the video when wicked mechanical sentinel-like creatures unfurled their appendages and menaced the camera."

I can bet that "cool reloading animations" in KZ2 etc will get boring after 5 minutes.

Lidve

Yeah but after that bit I will start shooting the enemies.

Itll be a good 5 mins though :)

You are right we dont have anything bether :roll:

Now go play KZ2 oh wait - its not released yet

Until then,i will enjoy my 1 year old best looking game ever + many other EXCLUSIVE games that you can only dream of

So exactly what score does a game have to get to live up to the hype we have seen KZ2 get for the last forty-one months since E3 2005? 14 out of 10???Riverwolf007

What hype have we seen? 90% of the threads about KZ2 are graphics threads. People talking about a various aspect of a game doesn't necessarily equate to hyping it as a AAA/AA/A game (that goes for ANY game). Find me some threads where a majority of cows said KZ2 will own Gears 2 or be AA and I will stop talking :). One or two fanboys here and there does not equal a AAA hyping.

But I do think it will be hyped AAA in the end. KZ2's graphics have definitely been hyped AAAA though :lol:
