Killzone 2 showing straight after MS E3 Keynote, July 10th

[Electro UK]

No one is trying to wind anyone up. The game just doesn't look that great, and you guys are so caught up in earning your junior PR man badges that you refuse to admit it. The only times this game manages to look half as impressive as you try to sell it is when the screenshots are shrunk down to avatar sizes. Get out in the world and stop seeing everything as microsoft fanboys vs sony fanboys. The game just flat out does not look as great as you guys want everyone to believe.

Poor, poor Stephen. When did they take your eyes?

Around the same time you lost your dignity and rationality in this ******ed quest to defend Sony because you dropped too much money on their ****.

LOL, you know of all people know I'm like the least fan boyish fan boy around these parts. I know I'm not lying to myself when I say this game looks fantastic, but you'll also note I haven't said its the best looking game I've ever seen. Infact I said it looks as good as CoD4 a few posts back. I'm not trying to fool myself here.

It's pretty obvious you're crazy, but in motion is where Killzone shines the most, .gif animations or not. You'd find more people who disagree with you about Killzone not at the very least looking as one of the best FPS games ever so far, than you would agreeing with your extremist attitude. You want to talk about the real world, and yet your opinion certainly doesn't match up with what the real world thinks about the graphics in Killzone 2.

It might be good, like Liberation. Anyway, comments like "It has no color", when the game actually has a very high color saturation, is just stupid. The game has some filters on the harmonize the color palette overall, but when things are meant to light up they are bright and colorful, heck even the ISA gun is a very clear shade of Metallic Green that is easily visible. It's would be different if the image was obsessively desaturated, but it's not.

Killzone 2, that level, uses a lot of color, and it's not muddy brown like GoW.

And I'd question the artistic eptitude of anyone who claimed Killzone 2 has no color. The Scene right before they drop down show's a perfectly normal skyline.

 

[Addendum]

But until the game is out and reviews in, and people can actually play it, right now it's just hype and PR.

It's alright Stephen, apparently words = graphics now. Pretty language has become the new replacement for actual substance. I mean, how can we defend our point of view against people who look on NeoGAF, see a few words they think look cool, and use them in every other sentence even though they have little to no clue what the **** they mean? It's obviously just futile. We've lost.

Why do you people even care how good KZ2 looks? We all know its chances of being good are very slim.

 

[Zenien]

Double post

 

[Electro UK]

Zenien, just don't worry about it. It does look good, you know that, I know that. Technology doesn't matter when its presented in front of your eyes and looks great.

But I thought it was going to be good, until CoD4 raised the bar of what good is.

CoD4 wasn't that good, it was all presentation wrapped in the same old CoD2 mechanics.

Multiplayer is probably a different story, but a 5 hour campaign with outdated mechanics and gameplay doesn't make for a single player that renders other contenders to 'not good' status.

 

[Electro UK]

As in "Now its chances of being good are slim because CoD4 has come along and ruined them."

Z, CoD4 is crazily good, you won't find a more intense shooter out there.

Play Crysis.

 

[Electro UK]

Give me the million needed to purchase a computer that can play it then.

 

[Zenien]

CoD4 seems like the next gen equivalent of a lightgun game. I'd probably choose Crysis for the maliability over CoD4.

Million? Dude, I could build you a comp for $1500, maybe just a tad more, def less than 2K and u could play Crysis no problem

Ok, that's where I disagree. CoD 4 is way too intense for lightgun action. Gotta have the freedom to move around.

 

[Zenien]

Imean it's like "Enemy pops up, shot them" it's just very basic and scripted. Probably makes for incredible Counter Strike style Multiplayer though. I just can't see the main game appealling to me. I'm a sucker for choices and exploration and nuances and stuff. SImilarly, I'm way more interested in Fictional settings than In am in carbon real life recreations. It's just a taste issue, I can see why people would love it, it seems amazingly intense.

 

[Purple Prancer]

Killzone 2 is about as colorful as a gorilla's genitals.

Carry on.

Edit: WTF, play COD4 god damnit. Put down Ridge Racer and MGS4....oh wait

Well technically you could say that about any shooter. CoD 4 has solid AI. But by far the best AI I've seen in an FPS right now is Crysis. Those Koreans are wacko.

 

[Purple Prancer]

That's racist. And my mother is Korean.

Actually I'm busy playing Uncharted (going through it on hard is a much better experience), Super Mario Galaxy, and Mass Effect, *Sticks tongue out at you*

 

[Electro UK]

Zenien, there really is no way to describe how wrong you are about CoD4. I can't even begin to describe how you've dissapointed me woman.

I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic, b/c you know I'm not referring to Koreans in reality.

Fine fine I'll try it out at some point.
