BBC: "Killzone 2 one of the most immersive games ever"

Posted on August 12th, 2007 at 06:08 EDT

Ever since its debut at E3 2005, Killzone 2 has been regarded as Sony's biggest mistake; the commonly held knowledge was that such an impressive trailer set Sony up for failure. All that changed this last E3 as Susi Roku unveiled the pre-alpha build of the game they had ready. Heralded by critics everywhere, KillZone 2 is shaping up to be the most immersive and cinematic games to date, according to BBC.

The BBC writes, "When you sit down in front of a playable level ... it is immediately clear that Killzone 2 will be one of the most cinematic and immersive games ever produced on a console." Impressively, this is the most widely held opinion currently in the industry -- it appears that Sony truly delivered (so far).

The BBC did note two problems they saw: the game is an FPS complete with checkpoints, which was aparently was too archetypical. Additionally it seems that Killzone's grenades leave something to be desired.

PSU anxiously awaits this game, and will continue to bring you any information we can manage on it.

killzone looks pretty good wait for the actual gameplay tho..... also gears of war and halo arent all that great theyre good ill admit but theyre not absoluteyl amazing... really halo 3 is gunna b the same as the first 2 just finishing the story (most of overrated game ever)

posted 6:28pm EDT - August 12th, 2007

Awesome I can't wait, but I do have to say something, everyone seems to think that grenades are some super powerful being or something, they never were super powerful or made huge explosions (in real life of course), so maybe killzone modelled them after real grenades (which would actually be like a first for games considering how grenades always end up being extremely powerful).

This game will be great!  Im nto sure why were talking about gears of war and halo though.  It will probably be as good of a game as gears of war.  but for those of you who are saying it will be a halo 3 killer... come on.  it already reserved over 1 million copies.  Nothing will kill halo 3.  GTA 4 pushed its release back probably due to halo 3.  Lets just forget about gears of war and halo and lets look forward to this great game coming to the ps3.  the ps3 needs a great game right now.

@willis: I think people like the grenades as a last ditch effort(me at least)when you run out of bullets,so in a way they are just as important as which ever gun your carrying,so that is why BBC mentioned it hopefully to the developers to so it can be tweaked.Delay it if you have to just get it right.SMOKE YOU 360

@augustus1000:

If it says anything for Gears of War, Epic said Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 is way ahead of GoW. And its pretty obvious they prefer the PS3 dev kit and system features over the 360. UT3 will be out on the PS3 first, and Epic didn't even seem to care when they were releasing it for the 360, as they said it'll be out "some time next year".

Killzone 2 will own, you guys talk about Gears of War, I think Metal gear solid 4 will put that to shame all over the place, have you guys seen the gameplay footage,,omg........

I was comparing KZ 2 to Gears of War not UT 3.I am not a 360 fanboy but I was just expressing an opinion but everyone here is so blind. Killzone is nothing special just another average FPS or maybe worse like the craptastic Killzone 1

I guess when it comes to graphics every1 has diffrent taste. To me Gears was a very nice looking game but way too shiny. The gameplay left more to be desired. COD 4 looks great gameplay/graphic wise however not close to the graphical detail in KZ2. Haze very gret looking game as well and alot closer to being on par with KZ2 graphic wise. Look @ these games in HD on your PS3 you see the diffrence. Nothing I've seen graphic wise is touching KZ2.

grenades did suck in the first Killzone,,other then that i loved the game,, that is one of the things that is so sweet about resistance is how the grenades are actually employable.

arent you late to your Halo lessons? Cant keep that 7 year old master waiting, or he might actually try to play some real FPS on PC with KB and mouse.
 
GTFO.

KZ2 still has plenty of time under their belt, especially since it arrives sometime in 08.  I very highly doubt that this will be like the final build.  The checkpoints probably wouldn't be able to be removed but the grenades could always be tweaked.  I know it's PSU, but we REALLY don't need "Halo 3 will be pwned " and "Gears of War looks worse."  I don't really regard BBC with the highest respect after the Manhunt 2 incident, but you are all self-deluded if you think this will kill Halo 3.  Gears of War maybe, but Halo 3 already has 1 million+ pre-orders. 1 million GUARANTEED sold games.  Don't get me wrong, KZ2 is one of the games I want most, but don't give yourself false hope.
