Sony's Halo Killer - Killzone [Archive] - Page 2

allthough i would take a ps over an xbox any day this game was a total dissapointment to me. i thought killzone might put up a little bit of fight against halo but not even close. first thing thats wrong with kill zone is you CAN'T JUMP. not being able to jump takes so much out of gameplay. second of all you CAN'T SNIPE WHILE MOVING. unfortunately we will not see a multiplayer game on the ps2 that touches halo. for the simple fact that sony did not put 4 controller ports on the ps2. if the ports aren't included in the hardware game companies will not make the games for them because no one is going to go out and spend another $30 for a multitap when the console should include the extra ports anyway.

I recon you live in america...yes ya do, in Texas right??. Well i understand ya, the American version of Killzone was a flop compared to the EU version, the NTSC mode lagged, the graphis werent as great the AI wasnt as great and well....the game wasnt as great asthe Eu version, Guerilla mainly thought of this game as a Europe only game, they just rushed the NTSC(american) version. The EU version haws no lag, and it deffintley lives up to the hype, wich brings me to a funny fact, Sony or guerilla NEVER EVER said that the game was going to be a Halo (or Halo 2) killer, it was IGN who made that rumor. You should play the EU version, no lag at all. And the Online is some of the best out there, the only thng that isn't so ccol for some is that there are no Clan support.....well that didnt stop thousands of Killzone fans to make clans.

And Killzone has a duck button, simply L2. The crouching behind an object and firing short bursts and crouching again is a part of Killzones gameplay.
Just like the vaulting and such. But i do get your point of ducking fast, it's just with that kind of equipment/armor it's hard to duck and not fall.

Two examples under

http://killzone.ng-gamer.nl/experience.php

http://thorsvikings.rp-studio.com/

And Another site that has a clan is KillzoneHQ

and dude WHAT KIND OF SNIPER MOVES!!! snipers are supposed to sit still hiden snd kill silentley. And you can move whan sniping, just very very slowly that is. And there is a reason that the PS2 only has to port CASh they have made lots and lots of cash on Multitaps, and i dont wann play a game witha wee small screen like in 4 player...Gay.
And just the fact that you said that the Sp2 could never have a multiplayer game that matches upt o X box proved that you are as countless before you an X box fanboy.....so dont talk about things you dont have any knowledge of. sheez

Yo everyone gets their facts wrong at one point or another so dont diss the cheese riot(great name by the way). But Killzone isnt perfect by a long way, sure it is better than halo 2(you run/walk so slowly on halo 2 :!: ) but I still think there is a long way to go in fps's (thats why i set up a descussion on PS2 descussions). The game is still very rigid, you have a set of objectives which are completed by blowing people to hell with big gun, its all been done before, the set of characters are useless because once you have unlocked Rico you will not use anyone else :roll:.

Who ever thought to put stealth in a fps needs to be taught a few things by the metal gear team, its utterly pointless because you get killed so often but it does introduce some inovation.I think the reason the sniper rifle is so hard to use is because they didnt want the game to be like many fps's where snipers just sit still and shoot you cant stay still for long because the AI will spot them so the idea is to shoot then move so they cant see you. Fall is sort of what i meant, they kind of should drop to the floor like when something goes low like when a jet flies low all the men fall to ground because it coud hit them. If the armour is heavy how on earth do they vault?

The thing I don't get about Halo is why do they jump so high? And the aliens don't even jump. That's what you call bad AI. But this isn't about halo.

Killzone is a great game by the way. I don't really like Halo because of the speed. You run so slow. Killzone it's a so-so.

I just like KillZone. Not much of a future guy.

I'm not such a Ultra Sci fi guy myself, but the gritty WW1 and WW2 Sci fi in Killzone is so good, the weapons are realistic no ****** Lasers or plasma here only cold hard bullets. And....well everything is very Sci fi but not like Shiney flashing purple halo sci-fi if you get my point, and BTW why the hell does the main/elder aliens in Halo 2 speak english, i mean arent they6 supposed to be the wise ones and repect the old ways and stuff.

ok so i can see everyone has their own opinion about jumping. i just think that the ability to jump really opens the game up. it makes it a little more exciting, it requires a lot more skill. yes i know it takes out a little realism but i don't know why you would want a shooter game to be very realistic. a video game with a realistic gun battle would be totally boring ...think about it. i know being able to move while aiming a sniper rifle isn't realistic but that's what makes it fun. just sitting there with a scope waiting for someone to pass by is lame. no skill. if you are concerned with playing a realist shooter try call of duty on the highest difficulty where you pretty much die in one or two shots. how fun is that? my point is i don't think realism in shooter games make them fun because realism is boring ...that's why we have video games. on the other hand it is important for some games to be realistic like sports and racing, but not shooters. now obviously these are my opinions, people feel differently about different subjects that's what this board is for. if everyone felt the same about everything this forum would be boring. if you disagree with me and post your opposing opinion that's great it's what makes this fun. however forum members like colonel cortez who are quick to fall into childish behavior by slinging insults at the first person who has a differing opinion drive me away from the forum faster than anything. i would like to talk with intelligent people that keep the topic moving along and people that can spell. it makes me sick to see forum members turn a topic into an insult fest, it derails the discussion and accomplishes nothing. colonel cortez, you don't have any grounds to accuse me of not having knowledge about the topic. yeah, i said you can't move while sniping, however you can move just very very slowly. not much of a difference to make a fuss about. i think everyone gets my point. anyway cortez learn how to spell then we will carry on a conversation. if you wish to show your intelligence to me show it by coming up with a valid response. any idiot can start slinging insults.

Well, not really. In real-life, a soldier with all that gear on probably won't get 30CM off the ground even if he jumped -- that's pratically nothing! So there'd be really no point in jumping if the game was suppose to be "realistic".

Thegamingdwarf

02-14-2005, 10:38

I like your speech cheese-riot, but half of it strayed away from the topic so you sort of contradicted yourself but lets get back to the point now shall we.

I like Killzone as an overall game, it has a good but slightly cliche story(some of the cut scenes are meant to be seriouse but just make me smile and let out a short laugh :lol: ) The guns and scenery are a sight to behold and the multiplayer is the best yet. The AI is good but not so good that you cant go in for a blood bath and the motion capture and voice over is perfect. But, and its a big but(please dont tern that in to a joke :| ) it trys a little to hard to be itself and ends up doing the complete opposite. It trys to be realistic and does it well in all of the real world physics, guns etc department but by doing that takes the fun out of itself as a FPS. It makes so much so realistic that you get bored because you can see them in real life, a final flaw is where are the VEHICALS?(how do spell that?)Play unreal tournament 2004 and youll see how playable vehicals are meant to be made and played.

e. anyway cortez learn how to spell then we will carry on a conversation. if you wish to show your intelligence to me show it by coming up with a valid response. any idiot can start slinging insults.

I'm not slinging Insults, and yes i can spell. I just dont care if i write wrong so i dont delete or change it. And i didnt mean to really offense you, but you didnt seem to have too much knowledge in this case, and the moving slowly with the sniper thing i apologize i over reacted.¨

but i dont give a flying **** anymore, you guys can take and burn the game for all i want sue guerilla if you feel like it, As long as i like the game all of your opinions can go to hell. i'm tired of debating about killzone and Halo, i have been doing this for 4 years now ever since Killzone was known as Kin and when the Halo rights were owned by Rockstar

i was very disapointed by this so called Halo killer. The one big problem with it is that it takes way too many shots to kill anything.

Colonel Cortez

02-15-2005, 13:05

Yah i know what ya mean, but the thing is tha the helgast and ISA have some heavy armor. You can see (especially in the CG movies) that the helgast armor is pretty big and think.

The reason the devs didn't include the vehicles is because they said they have played several FPS games with vehicles and it just turns into a match where the ppl with the vehicles have a huge advantage. They didn't want it to be like that.

But vehicles are FUN! yeah but every single thing in FPS's now days have unfair advantages and that what makes them feel fun, like you have the power. the sword in halo 2, the grenade launcher in red faction, Rico's original gun in Killzone the list is most probably endless. Vehicles are half meant to be unfair because that is how it is in real life...you stand in front of a car and you WILL get run over, when you are in vehicles in a video game you are meant to have a feeling of superiority over every one else. This is what is missing from killzone the pure feeling that you are the best and you have beaten the game, i have completed it 5 times now and i just dont feel the superiority of winning like you do after blowing someones head off with a grenade in red faction or running someone down in halo 2. Vehicles arent pivtal to games success or failier but they do give a game that edge over everyone else.(Are we going to start a thread about Halo killer- SnowBlind :?: )

i mean dont u think those screenshots r too fabulous for the ps2 or even the xbox??

siren

02-17-2005, 09:06

Just a little clarification. In Halo the aliens didn't jump, but in Halo2 they do. They jump all the time and use it to climb items to get a better view of you, jump over something to get behind it faster and hide from you, everything.

The AI in Halo2 really does a great job of utilizing it's environment.

Thegamingdwarf

02-17-2005, 10:43

But do you really think when aliens invade earth in the future and in the middle of a gun flight they are going to jump about 3 feet in the air to get a better veiw of you for a few seconds? If anything that gives you a chance to shoot them, so that is a double edged sword(god i use that term alot). Admittedly the AI on halo 2 is improved an awful lot but a human(that has a certan amount of intellect) does not jump 3 feet in the air just to get a better view, humans are more likely to just move closer. Jumping in to cover is very clever even if the movement is wrong for the action its trying to do, i think what might have happened is one of bungies main gaming points is that the AI can hijak vehicles and for this they need to jump. Bungie then wanted to speed the whole process up so used the same hijak movement for all the AI movements. This is a bit of a shame because if they had spent more time it would out class Killzones AI, but for now the Killzone persona of AI is much more human in it whole movements and reactions.

lmao, this threads as good as watching Lee Evens, any ways when i got killzone i heard about the easy mode beeing abit wimpish so i went for the full bangers and mash, with gravy! and wen on HARD mode, it really dose live up to its name, your absoulty up for a challenge on hard mode, and im glad about them not includeing veacles, or jumping, because killzone is a true first person shooter! its so dang satisfying it will make you draw a tear to your eye. it certanly was for me (but i didnt drop a tear so dont you go calling me a puff lol!) Everything was just perfect from start to finnish, and the on line mode is just mindblowing, its something ive never seen before! a must have for any red faction fans out their.

Killzone can't be compared to Half-Life 2. Period. COD, don't know, never played it. However, it's a hell lot better than MOH.

Thegamingdwarf

02-22-2005, 17:00

MOH is rubbish, well thats my opinion any way it just hasnt kept up with the increasing competition in its genre and its just lost its edge and all things, maybe an online medal of honour that might...

knowitman

02-23-2005, 05:18

That brotha is one of the reasons why I love Killzone so much.

While I think Halo is a great game I just don't think it can compare to the atmosphere that Killzone creates even in single player.

Halo is pretty much run around the corner and shoot some aliens that don't put up much of a fight. Killzone is the same except even on normal mode the AI can put up a strong fight and I like how it takes a lot of hits to kill the enemy. It keeps you on your toes because you never know if you will survive the next gun fight or not.

siren

02-23-2005, 09:04

Ok, consider this, if you were in the future and had a shield that could take a complete clip for the most powerful machine gun around, you were also capable of jumping 6 feet into the air, had a more powerful weapon than your opposition, you can cloak, and you have grenades that stick if you can get it close enough. Do you really think you would care so much about jumping on a box to get a better view. Expecially if your enemy already knows where you are?

Personally I would jump on the box while my teammates use my decoy tactic to run up behind my enemy and surround him. Ohh wait, that is what the aliens in Halo2 do all the time. Fancy that...

SessDMC

02-23-2005, 12:33

Sirens no fun, he knows to much, lol.
But dont diss the AI on Killzone, because there are usually no boxes to jump onto, when the hellgast Run up to you thinking their tough you shoot them and they run around the corner of the wall cuz they think that the ISA are softies, when you shoot a group of hellgast they run for cover because they might think their beeing ambushed if they pull back, Killzone two should have better AI next time. lets wait and see.

Thegamingdwarf

02-23-2005, 18:30

Siren, you are now just making clingy, sarcastic insults, please stop it, its no fun to dabate against a know it all that when he doesnt think he gets his point across makes a sarcastic insult sound like a come back. Im sorry, i had to say that, your last post was the only one youve done it in, so why?

Any way, Halo has hade 2 games so you would expect it to be slightly better because it has learnt from its previous mistakes, killzone has never had that privilage. I agree with Playstation4life that when the second game comes out it will have better AI even though the AI is already superb in subtler ways than most people expect, and it will overall be a better game than its predecessor because, like halo, it has time to adapt and change and learn from its mistakes. Also Halo has the benefit of a experienced development team where as killzone was developed by Guerilla, a new company that had only just come into being when developing Killzone. Admittedly the hype from all the games mags and fans may have pushed the small development team to extremes to finish the game and this may be why its not up to some peoples standards. I am now expecting a witty remark, saying that this didnt effect Bungie.

SessDMC

02-23-2005, 18:54

TGD, you are right Sirens post was abit gritty, i hope i dont see another post as such in the near future, (hehe i killed that the first chance) also TGD has a point, Guerilla is a very new company. and to be honest, its a very good first game for such a small company (but i dont know how big Bungie is so Siren dont bother).

Also Siren knowlage is power, but your turning into an evil dictator. :lol:

Evolution

02-23-2005, 19:37

Well you must just take note that Halo 2 is a Video Game, and a brilliant game at that, its not a simulation, and you cant critisize the aliens AI as does anyone actually know what a team of aliens would do if they decided to go into battle with us humans.

Oh yeah? When I played KillZone they were hard even on Easy. It's hard on Easy. Yeah, I agree they are kinda dumb. They don't hide but they're aggressive. I still perfer KillZone over Halo. [spoiler:4be970121e] Pssst.... Don't tell Siren this but Halo Sucks[/spoiler:4be970121e]

I dont know whether or not you own an X-Box but in my opinion you should never place Killzone over Halo (1&2). In terms of Graphics, Presentation, Sound, Gameplay and Lasting appeal Halo beats Killzone hands down. Not to mention the Multiplayer features that Killzone cant even so much as touch Halos. If youre after a good FPS on PS2 then buy Red Faction 2 which is a very good game. Theres also the option of Timesplitters 2 which isnt a PS2 exclusive but its better than most on the PS2.

BTW, im posting this under the assumption that you dont own a X-Box or Gamecube.

Huraaa, someone else who agrees, Red faction 2 rocks. Sorry that was a bit random but i think Red Faction 2 beats most FPS games made on the PS2 its on a par with Time splitters but i just feels good. You know when you hit someone in halo with a melee attack or a sword it feels like that all the time the multi player is great and it has bots, but since it was made such along time ago many people have forgotten it and unfortunately it doesnt have online play but if it did it would be awsome. Sorry this is a bit opinionated but we arent comparing to any other games.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a Red Faction 3?

SessDMC

03-19-2005, 11:54

I dont think there will be any more from red faction, but im hopeing for it to come out on the PS3, but theres Time Splitters 3 coming out very soon so wait for that.

Thegamingdwarf

03-20-2005, 13:07

I wonder why they never quote Time Splitters: Future Perfect the halo beater because TS 2 was better then Killzone in the first place and TS plays more like Halo in its future sections any way. Or we still have Area 51 to look forward to and that does look a really really goo FPS dont you think? Do you think it will be as good as Killzone or halo or TS or any other game you would like to compare it to. Luckily it hasnt had to much hype because of all the big guns like TS and Killzone so it isnt being rushed and in theory it could have some new gameplay techniques and team AI from the screens. It all looks good on the FPS front at the moment.

We said this before, IGN stated 'halo beater' not sony, so sony wasnt aiming at sony, but Killzone is a good FPS like the others.

Thegamingdwarf

03-28-2005, 18:33

Yeah its a decent FPS compared to some of the more recent PS2 shooters but its by no means perfect. It utterly depends on which type of genre within the FPS genre you prefer, if you like realistic and gritty buy killzone, if you like a quick play futureistic FPS buy Snow blind if you like a overall good FPS that incorperates everything except realism buy Time splitters any of them are good and finally if you like blowing stuff up buy Red Faction 2 with its almost completely destructable interiors and very satisfiying blood splatter effects.

Unfortunately no PS2 FPS is a perfect combination thats why there are now genres within genres for the PS2 shooter market, if you are looking for something as well overall crafted as halo or halo 2 look your PC for help on that.

IGN stated 'halo beater' not sony,

I wouldnt be so sure, almost all magazines except of course xbox ones stated that Killzone could POTENTIALLY be a halo beater, and then every one compared it to halo 2 which isnt what the magazines phrased, i rekon it was a rumour that was miss-interpretted.

knowitman

03-30-2005, 03:06

That is what really happened. I think though that Killzone 2 will have more potential. The devs have been on Sony's official forums for the game and take questions and suggestions from gamers. I beleive with some tweaking to the graphics and physics engine Killzone 2 will be pretty darn good.

Another FPS to look for is Area 51. I played the demo on PS2 and it is really good. The graphics and physics engine on it is amazing. The gameplay was also fast paced and kept me alert throughout the whole demo.

03-30-2005, 13:08

I completely disagree in terms of the sound and graphics category. (The UK version is flawless so I won't be talking about lod bugs that were overlooked in the NA version) I hate the sounds of Halo/2, the guns sound horrible. In terms of graphics, KZ's are a lot more detailed, you will never run into two places that look alike. You can tell that there was a lot of attention put on how the textures were placed and keeping them non repetitive. In terms of presentation - debatable, Halo is definetly more polished though I love the feel of KZ over any FPS, gotta give this to halo. Nice, how you mention great multiplayer for Halo 2 but don't say anything about singleplayer, how cliched of halo fans. Story, something you also didn't mention - please, don't even get me started.

Killzone, in my opinion, may not have been the "Halo Killer" for the PS2, I'm not that narrow-minded. However, Killzone has a lot more potential in it as a franchise and could very easily become the next "FPS King". Halo doesn't have anything original left up its sleeve, not that it was original at all in the first place. If anything, the next Halo will feel and act a lot more like Killzone did, and it will get praised for it.

My question still remains unanswered Why doesnt Halo 2 include bots? I have never played kill zone because I heard from a good number of people that it was a dissapointment I guess I will give it a try next time I think about it. I should be getting high speed soon and when I do I will have to buy my own Xbox since my sis took "the familys" into her room since I got the PS2. When I get high speed I plan on suscribing to Xbox live and I am already on PS2 online but the only game I am able to play is tribes arial assult which I think is a good FPS and never got any credit for it.

The NTSC version would be bad because of porting, although the PAL version is alot better. you aught to try it some time, Killzone is one of the best games, useing unique textures and it emmerses you into the war sinario, and they way they use the camera to what actions you do is brilliant.

Yeah, is it any good? It got really good previews and then seemed to slump its reviews and i can never seem to find it now.

My question still remains unanswered Why doesnt Halo 2 include bots?

Because bungie wanted to create that feeling you have when you have a multiplayer death match on the sofa with your friends, the way you get grudge matches and stab people in the back and then they come and chase you with a big gun. I guess they thought that you cant do that with bots which is true, but it still is a missing bit which i and i guess you would like to see.

Do you think games benefit from a multiplayer? Because i sure think they do.

I hope they include vehicles in the second one because they were lacking in the first one considereing how much ground you have to cover, and then you could ride those jet bikes and have and air war and i hope they include a bit more variation in the enemies because even though you could tell you were facing a different enemy by how hard it was to kill them but you couldnt tell instantly by looking at him, more of the final level elite gaurd would be good. oh and take out the context sensative melee attack because i want to use it on deathmatch not just in game.

07-03-2005, 14:13

You guys know that the Killzone on PS3 is most likely going to be Killzone 3, and that there will be a Killzone 2 on PS2 if that is so.

Killzone on PS2 sold very well(its platinum for christ sake) so it would make sense for Guerilla to make another one for PS2 before PS3 since they've had ample time by now and the demo shown at E3 was just a visual/ideas concept, not an actual game in development.

You can't really compare Killzone to Halo since A Halo has become a franchise, Killzone has yet to do so and B the 2 games a substantially different.

What I do like about Killzone more than Halo is the guns, the gameplay and the visual style. I much prefer dark, gritty and realistic to shiny, clean and 'overly science fictional'. Yes Killzone has sci fi(hover tanks, space craft, genetically altereted humans) but it still maintains a good level of realism but with enough imagination to make it cool and interesting.
Halo is just too much of the same thing, a faceless character in a shiny suit with super human strength that spends all his time killing annoying aliens. Don't get me wrong, I have an xbox and halo and halo 2 and the games are fun and cool but just don't interest me personally as much as Killzone does.

I look foward to the day Killzone crushes Halo under its, soon to be, very giant boot.

I respect the views of the expert game analysists, but those views don't necessarily reflect mine. I have my own personal opion on Halo which varies from yous.

Replay value. Halo bored me after a while. All the maps seemed repetative to me. Even the online and multiplayer got boring after a while for me.

Halo is a very good game, but I wouldnt' rate it as fantastic. I don't even know if I would rate Killzone as fantastic, but I would definetly try it out. as it looks great to me and several other reviewers I have seen giving in 91/100 and such.

On the steady framerate issues. I have played both Halo 1 and Halo 2. I have experienced laggy framerates on both of them.

I have Killzone and really like it, and I've also played Halo 2 and don't see what the big deal is. I like the war torn environments of Killzone much more, and its more realistic weapons. It does have some frame rate issues though when more enemies are around, but they are pretty minor.

Seriously Killzone is a great game. Yes like Debater said it does have frame rate issues but in Killzone 2 (PS2) shold have thoughs problems fixed or greatly lessened and KillZone 3 (PS3) will have no frame rate issues at all.

I found killzone to be more interesting then halo, i enjoyed the story(even though it could have been executed a little better) then halo. i just did'nt care about anything the story had to offer. i found the plausible futuristic settings of killzone cool, i'am really burnt out on aliens. the graphics were actually very good on killzone to my surprise. i can see why playstation 2 struggled. halo better multiplayer hands down. the multiplayer in killzone felt like an addon. if they can polish that aspect up(multiplayer) with solid story and graphics (guerilla already has that nailed) then halo may have to start packing up.

For gods sake, post something sensible next time, say why you think Halo 3 will destroy the PS3, but for some reason, i don't think that's going to happen, in the slightest. and no 1337 here please, and some better punctuation would be appreciated.

True! Posting sensible comments with reasons or something to encourage conversation will make you more friends instead of saying something like a game could kill a console. If anything, it would be the other way around since that's not really possible the way things are right now.

I've been in the dark with PS2, so I've missed Killzone and SOCOM and GT and GoW (and the list goes on....). I'm buying a massive amount of PS2 games before buying next gen games so I can finally catch up on all that I've missed (which is the main reason I'm going PS).

Looks poor. But then again, that'll suit PS3 just fine.

Playstation's games and features are just wannabe's and copies of games from the better consoles, looks like this game is a nother one for the list.

The Joysticks - N64's controller

The vibration - N64's rumble pack

The CD - Sega Saturn

CTR - Mario Kart

Crash Bandicoot - Mario

Imagination is something Sony will never have, I'll be damned if they're even worthy of it.

Joysticks were on the NES, hell, the Atari 2600 had a rudimentary one.

Vibration pads aren't that big a deal one way or another.

CD? Saturn? Wrong! Try the SegaCD, and Nintendo was making a Cd system too but dropped the project! Guess what that became?

Why do people tout Halo as a sign of MSes creativity? If you consider buying out a company in the middle of a project creativity, then have at it..

hahaha your a funny man. Halo 3 kill ps3? Many people are Halo'd out an the anticipation for that game is low compared to Halo 2. many of us are Halo'd out. And we have yet to see the launch games on the ps3. If Killzone or Heavenly Sword is a launch title, this would be bad news for Halo.

Aza

07-21-2005, 03:28

GTA needs major evolution other than graphics on PS3, I hope they come up with some cool new gameplay ideas. I can remember the good old GTA 1 days, heh I never thought gta would go 3D/3rd person shooter and look what happened, most popular franchise ever. If you could enter every single room of every single building in gta and clime stair wells, you know interact with the enviroment on a much larger scale would be cool. And the NPC's need more individualisation.

As for Killzone, its still got lots that can be done with it, if you know the storyline and have finished the original game you know there's tonnes of things that could be done with its story. The game itself will be cool but I liked the characters from the first game.

PhantoK

07-21-2005, 10:44

Yeah GTA would need something new and breath taking to beat the anticipation level for it.
But i have confidence on them to have the creativity to make it a whole new gaming experience.
And yeah if PS3 could get Rockstar to announce a new GTA as a launch tittle (wont happen.. i know, but i can dream cant i?). boy would that be great for Sony.
Yeah i agree with Aza here, they should add some interaction with the enviroment.
Ladders, actually taking taxis to take you places. You know the small stuff. But all that wouldnt make it that much better. Im waiting for something awesome from the new GTA, and i hope they wont let me down.

As for Killzone, yeah alot should be done with it. Im not saying that it was a bad game, i just thought it would have needed another coat of paint. And im sure alot more will be done with it on next gen. New weapons, Vehicles, online modes?.
Killzone 2 is actually the game im trusting on the most on next gen, at the moment atleast, since they havent announced the next Time Splitters.

Personally after all the hype behind halo I was most disapointed when I finally played it, it was slow, dull, only had a couple of fun weapons, the graphics weren't that good, it was repetitive and sometimes I got lost in the levels because of their terrible layout.
Killzone on the other hand I thought was utter tripe until I played it and man it was so much better than the reviews tell. Here I had an fps set in a sci fi world but without aliens(thank god) and creative weapon and vehicle designs that were semy modern but had just the right amount of 'future' in them. I love dark not-too-distant future stuff(kinda like terminator). The games level were easily navigateable and well designed. I dunno people who like halo wouldn't like killzone and vise versa, guess its a matter of different tastes.I feel the same way. For a long time during school Halo and Halo 2 is what everyone would be talking about and I started to think that it would be really good. Then I got Killzone and forgot completely about Halo. After maybe a week I determined that it was one of my favorite fps that I have played since Goldeneye 007. I even brought it over to a friend’s house to play online and within the hour he was convinced that Killzone was better than Halo. I now wanted to try Halo more than ever so I immediately went to another friend’s house just to play. I would have to say that the first thing that came to my mind was utter disappointment. After all the things that I had been hearing about it I thought that it was nowhere close to Killzone. Halo, I think was too futuristic in that I don't think that it wasn't believable. I also thought that the story behind Killzone was a lot better. Many of the minor effects were also very cool. I am not sure if anyone else noticed this but I was at one point able to hear people coming up behind me sitting at the top of a tower. I know that the thread is kind of an old but I had to comment.

Lol, same here. I just read this right now, for the first time. And I need to post:
Xbox beat PS2, whether it won in sales or noth doesn't change the hardware. Its a fact. Pretty soundly too, on almost every basis.
Having said that, and establishing myself as an Xbox fanboy, I only liked Halo because it was the first game I had ever played in my life that wasn't on 64 or Basic. I only liked Halo2 the first time I played it. I love RP games, but I need the best graphics, so Sony was briefly in then out. Killzone was weird, I liked it, but it was just like Halo2 to me. Nothing was as good as Halo2, but it was a little more fun. In the end, I need to be creating while I destroy. In Killzone and Halo alike, you work to create nothingness, you slowly remove more and more from the game until there's nothing left and the creator throughs in some credits. FPS's aren't my thing, so there can be no assault on XBox for me until PS3.

Aza

09-06-2005, 11:00

I didn't recall any secrets in Killzone, and its length was pretty much standard fps storyline length, about 10 levels but they're devided up into sections of gameplay like half life 2.

adamba4e

09-09-2005, 19:59

Can anyone tell me how many levels are in Killzone?

Steroyd

09-09-2005, 20:39

there's about 10 levels, and each characters version is slightly different as well. :D

for example if you go on the dock (i think) with hakha then you can go through different sections of the game you couldn't with the normal squad.
Or with the slums, with luger, you can stealth behind people and her gun kicks butt (personally i think it's the best out of most of them, surprisingly powerful :shock: ), you can even go in the small little vents that the others couldn't.

Templar has all-rounder levels, i call them the typical FPS levels, were you walk around and just shoot people, when you go as Rico you have to blast through a heck more helghast than either of the other three.

wow :shock: i need to stop, but what i'm trying to get at is that every level is like a different version wtith each people, which gives you a different experience with each character, gosh never realised i could go on about killzone, must love it that much, well besides the glitches and stuff it's a very deep game. :D

Halo 2 is Definitly not a flop, although it was over hyped. from what I've heard, people thought there was a little more.

I have to agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I thought Halo 2 was a great game, but the fans expected too much from it.

Seriously, before Halo 2 came out, I saw people saying stuff like "They should include minigames, or grenade juggling, etc." Then when Halo 2 come out, people did not see what they expected in the game, so they got upset.

I don't even see why all those people complain about Halo 2. At first when I played it, I didn't like it so much. But then when I played Halo 1's campaign after finishing Halo 2's campaign, I realized that Halo 2 actually has an awesome campaign (all a matter of my opinion). In Halo 1, I can't hijack vehicles. In Halo 2, I can. In Halo 1, I can't switch my weapon with my ally. In Halo 2, I can. I can go on for quite a while with this. And I also think Halo 1 and Halo 2's multiplayer is fun. I've had a blast playing it.

Don't get me wrong, Halo 1 is still fun even as of now (once again, just my opinion), but Halo 2 has many advantages compared to Halo 1. I think both games are legendary shooters though.

As for Killzone, I have never played it. I will admit that the upcoming Killzone trailer looked cool, but I will still most-likely not get the game.

Aza

09-26-2005, 16:34

I also enjoyed Halo 1 and Halo 2 alot, I thought Halo 2 was an awesome game but it felt incomplete to me, and then I watched the documentary on Halo 2 that came on the DVD of the limited edition and well essentially my impression was that Bungie got arrogant and spent to long worrying about graphics, which led to alot of Halo 2's content being left out, which is a shame.
Story wise it was pretty cool but I was annoyed that they 'humanised' the covenant, giving them better english speaking skills than the humans for christ sake and making them seem less intimidating and weaker than they were in Halo 1. In terms of gameplay, I was annoyed with many changes they made such as getting rid of the awesome rifle from H1, made the shotgun, pistol and covenant pistol weaker, made the vehicles able to take damage and ontop of that way too weak and finally the cliff hanger ending which REALLY pi**ed me off.

You guys know that Bungie recently moved to a new location? I was reading about their new studio, every single computer monitor they have has a HD widescreen monitor :shock: and apparently they're going to do a video tour of the new office soon and they mentioned making sure nothing about their 'secret project' is revealed in the process. It's either Halo 3 or Phoenix(a mech game that was rumoured under development). I hope we get some clues or something.

As for Killzone on PS3, I think it will give Halo 3 a run for its money, provided Guerilla come through with their proposed 'vision' of what the game will be.

As for Killzone, I have never played it. I will admit that the upcoming Killzone trailer looked cool, but I will still most-likely not get the game.
So your saying when you get a PS3, you won't be buying what could possibly be one of the greatest FPS's to date? I believe their is a word for that; insanity.

I have a quick question that may be better suited for a Killzone specific forum, but here it is anyways.

I recently purchased KZ and am happy with what 20 bucks has given me.

My question pertains to the online portion of the game.

Now I know that every game is different with its own sets of rules and strategies but I'm having a hard time not getting schooled EVERY TIME I PLAY.

I've played MOH RS and Call of Duty online and can hold my own in most any situation but I can't figure KZ out.

I'm getting shot in the head, sometimes out of nowhere (or at least dying from what appears to be a one shot kill) after unloading a full clip at point blank range to no or little effect on my enemy. WTH is going on here!

If I am really that bad, them I stand humbled but if I'm missing some vital info on how to be at least decent, please fill me in.

Thanx.

I MIGHT get a PS3, not sure. Probably not (I will most-likely just end up getting one console [Xbox 360]. I DON'T hold any hate towards the PS3 though), but just saying. That's why I said "I will still most-likely not get the game."

"Killzone 3 may give Halo 3 a run for its money"
Well, Halo 3 hasn't even been announced yet. So, you never know. But... Halo 2 sold more copies than Killzone 1 (IF I am correct, I could be wrong), so, each game really has an unpredictable future.

Killzone 3 vs. halo 3.....now that will be a battle...They probably will come out around the same time seeing as how Bungie is set on releasing Halo 3 sometime around the PS3's launch.......although that might not really happen......so....I guess we will have to just wait and see........

The whole 'Halo 3 on PS3's launch' thing was just BS made up by Bill Gates in order to hype up a system that is without its mascot.
Bungie have said that they aren't working on Halo 3 right now, they have another game in development, which they will probably use as a means of seeing what can be done with 360 before they jump into H3's development.
The only thing related to Halo 3 that is going to happen with 360 right now is that female spartan in DOA 4.
And Killzone on PS3 is still a long way off, it WILL NOT be a PS3 launch title, guaranteed.

ok i will tell you guys because i have finished both games and played online on both of them, let me tell you that killzone gameplay is good for FPS but the glitcheness makes it unjoyable and the you cant always go wherever you want thing is annoying unlike halo 2 you can go where ever you want with out stupid giltches. in graphics killzone pushed the ps2 too much until it collpased but its good grahics for ps2 but in halo its alright for xbox and more clean looking and once again its because the xbox technology is better than ps2. the story line for killzone is really good and also halo2 story line is good but it needs to go back to its original halo storyline. i have to give it to killzone. the AI system is amazing in halo 2 but that doesnt mean killzone's sucks, its good also but not as good as halo 2. now the online, both 16 players, once again xbox vs ps2, LIVE vs PSONLINE.
i will tell you that halo 2 online is an amazing experience for any gamer whether you are a RPG fan or a shooter fan, it is simply amazing, downloadble maps, emblems,friends list ,clans all that good stuff and more like you can check your stats online. but there is a downside to all this, THERE IS ALOT OF MODDERS but they have dramatically decreased when bungie released that update 1.1. and alot of glitches that hardcore gamers use to beat newbs. but overall i have to say is that if you havnt played halo 2 online then you missed out.
in killzone , its a fun online experience, select servers and all that according to your connection, firend list.

the big question is WOULD HAVE KILLZONE BEEN BETTER IF IT WAS ON XBOX AND WOULD HAVE HALO 2 SUCKED ON PS2 ?

Steroyd

11-12-2005, 15:12

the big question is WOULD HAVE KILLZONE BEEN BETTER IF IT WAS ON XBOX AND WOULD HAVE HALO 2 SUCKED ON PS2 ?

that is an interesting question

because Halo 2 is the best "multiplayer" game ever and online is the main attraction, it would have been slaughteredif it was on the PS2.

on the other hand if Killzone was on Xbox, then it would have got patches or whatever, steady framerate, and kick arse graphics, and probably would have been the better single player experience (but with MS's standardise Online regime) the online service would have been equal to that of Halo 2.

I guess Killzone would have edged out Halo through the Single player, because the online partion would have been the exact same.

I don't really care if killzone would be better on xbox. In one year when PS3 is out in all countries ill ask this question... would halo 3 be better on the PS3 and would have killzone 2 sucked on xbox 360.

Alright, before I say this, please forgive me. I am behind Sony and the Playstation 100%, but this comes from what I believe.
Killzone is NOT a Halo beater.
Halo and Halo 2 were the defining games of the Xbox. I have played them, they are awesome. All the hype surrounding Killzone, calling it a Halo beater, was completely incorrect. Don't get me wrong, Killzone is an amazing game, it's just not as good as Halo. The PS2 Online servers for it are empty as a Christian Rock Concert. Which suck, by the way. XBOX Live's Halo 2 servers are, put simply, full to the brim. You never have any trouble finding one, whilst with Killzone you have to wait for ages until a game appears.
Halo>Killzone. Killzone is a great game, Halo is just better. Next time maybe, Guerilla :(

12-08-2005, 00:48

Can i just ran about Killzone being Halo Killer.

it's outragous, whoever started that should have been shot, heck even the devs said that they arengoing in a different direction to what Halo is doing now, the only reason that Killzone was given it's status was because it was an exclsuive FPS for the Sony Playstation.

Reviewers were also harsh as well, but this is what happens when a game gets hyped up, like this and i also wonder why it actually got released in the state it was in, Sony usually allow immaculate titles to get released no matter how much it gets delayed. (Gran Turismo is a brilliant example), more negatives than positives i supposed, killzone could have been something, not a Halo killer but raising the bar in wherever direction they were going.

From then on Killzone will always be in the Shadow of Halo even if the devs say next to nothing, it's going to stupidly and inevitably be a Killzone 2 vs Halo 3 debate, while on is Sci Fi the other is a Blockbuster Saving Private ryan type FPS.

MiThRaZoR

12-08-2005, 02:14

Heh, actually, they hyped it up so much that they sold 2 million copies :shock:

But it still is a good game. Halo is not my type. It's gameplay is too slow. Play Quake III online then play Halo. Nah, you want something faster.

Shrinnan

12-08-2005, 02:38

Face it, Halo is probably the most popular FPS to date and that's probably because it did do something good for CONSOLE FPS, note, I didn't say PC FPS because even reviewers don't look at the PC one, the console one is the one that mattered. Anyhow, any FPS that's exclusive to one system or the other will always be looked at as the killer of the most popular franchise of that genre. Hope that made sense. Want proof? Fable was even being hyped up as the "Final Fantasy Killer." It's inevitable.

My girlfriend is buying me this game next week. I've heard many good things about it, but also some negative things too. Can someone please give me a quick summary of what i'll experience?

The House

12-13-2005, 12:39

iam in hurry now so.... quick summary.

lots of action in single player and multiplayer
different kind of characters to choose for single player
fun guns
solid online play
lots of glitches during single player which makes it unplayble

You'll only have glitches in the old PS2. Not many people had a problem with the new slim ones.

Nighthawk

12-14-2005, 23:57

Well, no console is without glitches. It's just how many it has.
Anyway, I reckon Killzone 2 will be better than the original. Guerilla just need to take everything that was good from the first game, improve it, add lots of good new stuff. Oh, and make it longer. Can't wait :)

EDIT: I can't imagine playing Halo 2 on PS2, I can't imagine playing Killzone on Xbox. I can't imagine playing Super Mario Brothers on either. So there you have it, both games are good, just for their own consoles.

well when you thin about it the Xbox is a FPS machine you can tell from the controller. While the PS2 has well everything else im not saying the Xbox doesnt have good games in other genres it does but its main focus is shooting games so its not all that surprising it has the best console shooting game ever. Killzone was great but to try and compare it to Halo was a little unfair

the thing that makes halo so good is not the game play but the xbox live

Versa

01-01-2006, 18:11

Exactly, I toattly agree C11855. I think Halo's gameplay is nothing orignal or out of the ordinary. It's the online aspect that's amazing. Come on Sony, you can do it with Killzone :D!

Umm, how can you guys say that Halo's gameplay is nothing special? Have you even attempted to beat the game on Legendary mode? Doing that right there is pure skill and technique because there's no strategy guide on earth that can walk you through beating a Halo game on Legendary. And the gameplay in Legendary is top notch, you just can't play Halo on anything lesser than Legendary and say you've beat the game or it's not to your liking because the Legendary mode is like a game unto itself. Just my two cents but I feel it is justified...

Recon

01-06-2006, 22:17

Halo on legendary, ha I have it.I'll let you fanboys to blind to see on a little secret, let me break it down.

1.On legendary, enemies do allot more damage
2.Other than that, they shoot more than usual

Shakala

01-06-2006, 22:40

Halo's storyline kinda bores me. Legendary mode may be awesome, but not for me because I'd get too frustrated and go cry in the corner of my room.

Recon

01-06-2006, 22:55

Actually it's pretty easy, but on Halo 2 Legendary enemies kill you in about 4 shots, I could never get past the first lvl lol, but killzone is pretty laggy, great game basically, ruined by explosives, had allot of potential though.

Fedos

01-07-2006, 03:30

Recon, you should try and play Legendary with a bud. Even though if one of you dies you'll have to start over at the last check point, it's still much easier to beat Legendary with a bud on Halo 2. Oh, and I have played Killzone before on a demo and felt it was nothing special. But I DO plan to purchase the game for PS2, mainly because the PS3 demo has me more than intrigued and I'd like to buy its incarnation, and it would be best to be up to date with the Killzone storyline if I'm going to play its sequel.

Shakala

I rented Killzone yesterday and it is GREAT! The Graphics are pretty good for a PS2 game. IF anyone wants to go play a NEWBIE online, my name is InnoVatioN. Killzone only lags ones in a while and can anyone give me tips because i really suck online and what is the best weapon online??? I think TimeSplitter Future Perfect was a fun game, I kinda liked it more then Killzone because its not a serious game with the Characters. Best online game for the PS2: Socom 3.

MS once said that they would sell 3 million consoles in 90 days, now they are backing up on their claims, article in progress

Microsoft ditches 90 sales projection for 360
By: Dusty Stokes

Microsoft admits it will not meet its target of up to 3 million Xbox 360's sold within 90 days of its launch.
According to Financial Times, MS shifted it attention to a new plan announced at CES this last week. Their new promise? To sell between 4 and 5.5 million by June.
Analysts report that sales of the console had hit about 1.3 million by the end of the holiday sales period, and now in January, it seems that the shortages aren't ceasing.
Why is there a shortage? Xbox 360 chief Peter Moore explains. "Nothing's perfect- you've got a complex piece of hardware that includes 1,700 different parts. Every now and again the line will slow down because something's happened and there'll be a component that didn't make it that morning." Kind of a scary thought, the possibility of an XBox 360 getting shipped missing a piece.
Moore feels confident that by June, "supply will meet demand." That is, assuming that demand stays constant until then. With the PS3 launching sometime this year, having to wait for a 360 might turn people off to the idea.
This shortage has been nothing but bad news for Microsoft, and announcing that their promise of selling 3 million consoles in 90 days will never be fulfilled could send their customers in Sony's direction.

luxurys

01-09-2006, 21:18

I think you should go with that and write your finshing paragraph on how people are now waiting to see what the PS3 has to offer because they dont like waiting anymore on the Xbox360

ps3 Wanna be

01-09-2006, 21:24

Well my suggestion would be to write a paragraph about how the PS3 could suffer the same fate if it tried the worldwide launch, but that no information of launch territories has been revealed.

luxurys

01-09-2006, 22:25

Yeah.....thats would be really good!!!!

You should add two more paragraphs....One on the positive side where gamers are now looking to the PS3 and then finish it with a paragraph on how PS3 could do the same if they go for a worldwide launch.

I don't think you'll find yourself really paying attention to storyline, because to me the game doesn't really bring it, basically brainless shooting, which is fun too.

34THETRUTH

01-16-2006, 20:04

what the game does well, is guide you through the levels. there is only one way to go through each level, but they mask it so well. think red faction, but with medal of honor kind of levels. also, the maps are very cool, deserted malls, ww1&2 type trenches. there are limited weapons, and the multiplayer is sub-par, but the single player is what makes the game. you can't compare this with Halo, because these games do different things very well. Halo does the multiplayer and the gameplay very well. Killzone is all about visuals, and the storyline.

just my opinion

man, its a bit late getting killzone dont you think,

anyway my bro has played through halo 1 and killzone 1, but he loves killzone,

he and i think that game reviews form various mags and sites, are bogus, how can they give this a 6 or 7, that IMO is well harsh, they stacked it next to halo, so bad they didnt even want to give i fair rating,,

also, i hate gamespots rating its a load of lies,

there is this game called monster hunter on ps2, they gave it something like 7, out of 10, what pees me off is they always stick it next to somet hing, with that they put it against Phantasy star online on the dreamcast,
im like WTF,

neither the less i read everyones comment on the game, instead of the reviewrs, and went out to buy it, we have been playing that game to this day, over 7 months of playing that game, its awesome, 4 hours 4 times a week, all the time, if i could rate it, it would be a 9 for definete and i still consider it to be 10 but thats too far fetched for everyone.

yeah how can they give Killzone a 6 or a 7, come on it is made by Dutch developers. Doesn't that tell enough:P:P . NO it is indeed a good game, but offcourse there are some things that need to be better in the next game.

they dont tell how bad the AI is in pdz for example, but they dont mind exagerating when rating killzone. people who havent even played it have started to hate the game

i have killzone and is one of my favourite games in my collection because it "speakes" to me

Killerbee

Killzone and Halo are both cool. Halo has a tight, multiplayer style feel, almost like a fusion of TS and Quake, while Killzone is a gritty single player oriented game like Medal of Honor. K

Ok, i bought killzone from a friend yesterday. Me and my brother sat up the whole night playing it but are stuck on "the park" level. I think its the one just before the slums. I have killed all the guys but cannot find where to go next.

:lol: , i had the same problem. do you know how i solved it?
dont laugh
i followed the signs that say "park exit"

if you dont want to do that you can just follow the wall until you found an exit. i assume you are at the first "park" of the park level

02-24-2006, 07:31

Can it be possible that both Killzone and Halo are good games? anyway, this game is real fun, but gaming sites ripped it, and I honestly don't kno why. It was inventive in the way its always outside, and the Helghast use good squad mechanics. The a.i. is much stronger as the unit enters battle as a whole. I've noticed that a single helghast is dumb, and easy to pick off, but theyre much tougher as a unit, and flank you suprisingly effectively.

reality

02-24-2006, 14:28

Killzone tried to be halo killer , but halo is much better . I think the title "halo killer" don't help the game , i have a friend that played halo on my xbox and he was just like "wow this game is the best game i have play ever" and he is a diehard ps2 fan. i think what made halo so special was that you could be using the enemies own machinery or their main weapons against them , like the little flying machines and the different enemies you faced throught the game. Killzone is an ok game but is not even close to halo's level.

Yea the music is very good, but if they have a talent for it then they should put some good music in during the game....like Halo. That's one of the few things I like about Halo. It has very epic music.

03-09-2006, 05:39

Killzone was an okay game, the thing in my opinion that let it down was the fact that it didn't have that many features for multiplayer, and thats what I think halo had going for it, I'm sticking with timesplitters future perfect for its mapmaker and features (Not as much as halo but oh well, can't be bothered buying a xbox for 2 game that are just above average).

Yeah but ignore that, im currently playing through Killzone and its a top game, far to many reviews weighed it next to Halo, but if you play it through the way i am as a game on its own by its own right - You'll find its a class act FPS. The storyline is brilliant with good voice actors as well as musical audio, all the guns have *expletive deleted* kicking character and the atmosphere is very gritty - if you like that sort of this of course.

The only thing i've found slightly annoying is the enemy A.I, not the way they fight but the way they always shout the same thin over and over... "ATTACK" "FIRE" and so on!

I forgot to mention the graphics.. their 10/10 pushing the PS2 to the limit!

I'll report back once i've completed it.

I personally think Star Wars Battlefront 2 can match or even beat Halo. I think the game is excellent, it played online good, and well it was great all around. BUT! I would assume that from all the hype Kill Zone should be much better and possibly the true "Halo Killer".

KZ in my opinion is a good game, one of my favorite fps's, but I dont think the graphics are even near black. Black's guns, enemies, EXPLOSIONS, and environments are far far better then KZ. The main thing that makes KZ comparable to black is the aspect of multiplayer. Other than that, I would say Black is a better and more intense game....

Auztin

04-02-2006, 03:38

i have KZ and i can say that it was a good game, it felt like a CS (Counter-Strike) shooter, but unlike halo where there isn't recoil. I did like however that Halo 2 had dualies and there was that melee attack that KZ doesn't have, and u can't jump whenever u want.

I sort of like Killzone and the simgleplayer is pretty fun, except for the docks level. After passing through almost exactly same dock for 5th time, I felt really bored.
I don't like the fact that some areas repeat more than twice, probably just to make the game longer.
I also wish that your three friends would actually help you more.
Is it true that your three friends can be killed on the hard difficulty, and then they re-appear in the next mission? This never happened to me so far.

The story mode in TS is crap, it was ok 1 + 2 but when EA came in to make it more "Mass market" they just buggered it right up.

The best part about it is the Multiplayer. With the Mapmaker the possibilities are (Almost) endless. Thatswhat keeps me coming back to the game for more. Something i can't do with other shooters.

Exactly. Killzone and Halo are incomparable. They simply cannot be compared to eachother. They are far too different. I used to own Killzone and i loved it. I never got a chance to play online, but i had hours of fun with the offline MP. Sadly, i sold it because i needed some quick cash... :cry:

People under-estimate Killzone because of all the bugs and glitches and stuff.

Deep down behind the pop ins, the repetitive voices, the sound of the guns clipping out, the way the AI freezes, and how the online automatically logs out while your fragging, it's a pretty refreshing WWII esque FPS.

It's a shame how under powered the PS2 was at the FPS genre, oh well.

I nominate this thread as "The Best Joke Thread Ever!"

Farcry Instincts on the Xbox has an outdoor map editor that is fun and easy to use.
Don't really like the gameplay, but the map editor is fun.

Comparing Killzone to Halo is like comparing Ed Wood to Sergio Leone. :lol:

I am thinking about buying Killzone does anyone have some selling points or good features of Killzone. And what is with the guy that has a oxygen mask or something on?

Ok definately buy this game. Killzone arrghhh i don't know how to discribe it. It's a very good game. It's just got this thing about it that makes it different from any other FPs i've played before. The guy in the mask is a halgast (your enemy) he's from a world that has a different atmosphere so he needs the mask to breathe on human worlds.
