Apparently, Killzone 2's controls are unintuitive and sluggish...

Beautiful graphics and fairly decent multiplayer level design mean nothing in an FPS which during our hands-on took up to a week to respond to control inputs and masked the action with a layer of post-processed vaseline at every opportunity. Sluggish, terrible to control, and seemingly on a steadfast mission to confuse the player.Gamesradar

Guerilla better tighten up those controls if they wanna succeed. I actually thought the multiplayer is greater than decent though.

And can someone explain to me the "layer of post-processed vaseline" comment. Does it mean scripted?

I dont see why people are hyping this game out the wazoo, i mean it does look great, but i have a feeling that in time we could start to see more bad previews as the game comes closer to its february release date

Danm, they better improve those controls if they are as bad as they say, funny though, I thought the majority of previews had mostly good things to say about KZ2.

I love the responses to these things. One preview gives credit to the game and people cheer and then one preview bashes every aspect of whatever and all the haters get excited and predict the doom of the game.

How strange.

I think it has something to do with the visual filters the game use to make it look the way it does. Just guessing.

I assume its the motion blur effect that they are bashing, which is primarily what makes the game look as good as it does, which they give no real credit to.

I'm taking this preview with a mouthful of salt.

Okay...you know better then me in regards to whether or not I played the first one. :roll: If you seriously believe that the first one controled fine then you obviously need to play a FPS title with great controls. The first one had sluggish controls and denying it won't make it untrue. Face the facts and that's simply that the first Killzone looked great (considering the hardware) but played like crap thanks to the crummy controls.

All it means is tchbo. Sony keeps force feeding Guerilla Games money instead of locking up exclusives. Oh well, they'll get what they deserve. A flop and inferior multiplats.SSCyborg

meanwhile MS is doing the same thing buying usless exclusive downloadble dlc for hundreds of millions of dollars when that could have gone to so many more new games and franchises exclusives

Link

layer of post-processed vaseline refers to the blur. The same way that taking off-screen videocam footage of a game makes the game look better than it really is, they are using a post-processing effect to blur the graphics to mask the fact that the textures are very low res for a next-gen game. Nothing wrong with this effect unless you just got done playing a game with high-res texture then switch to playing KZ2. Then you'll notice it and it will annoy you.

The game definitely does have deathmatch and team deadthmatch.

And i can't take this preview seriously, not when there has been a lot of other previews and none of them mentioned any problem with the controls. If they really were even half that bad, all previews would mention it.

What what what? I need to play a FPS title with great controls???? Like what? I've played Stalker, Crysis, Doom 3, Red Faction 1-2, Halo1-3, a billion ww2 games and a billion other first person shooters ranging from daikatana to chaser (JoWood **** me up with that ending.) to half life 1-2... I'm not claiming that Killzone had the best controls ever, but since I am not a complete moron, I found it extremely easy to use the controls that were set.

Previews are nearly always positive because the media outlet creating the preview wants to continue to get access to news for that title.

When I first started reading reviews and previews, I didn't understand how a magazine could praise a game unconditionally during a preview, and then give it a 50% a month or two later and claim it's not worth playing.

It's all just part of the media game.

meh...dont really trust Games radar, but at the same time im not really all that excited for Killzone 2. I'm still playing some great games on my PS3, and when Socom, Little Big Planet, and Resistance 2 come out KZ2 will be but an afterthough. Not sure why cows want to hype the game up so bad, just as sad as the lemmings who try to bring it down. No matter i guess

I think he's referring to shooting in the middle of a jump. I don't believe that's in game. Nor do I see why it's a big loss.

It doesn't have to be exactly like other FPSs. Not shooting while jumping can change the pace and sty/e of the gameplay, offering a different experience. That kind of thing can be good in its own way.

Nope it gives the person a unfair advantage on the ground because they can shoot at you falling and you cant shoot at them while falling.
