This article above is an example of how biased and uninformed reviews/previews can be. The previewer is finding any nitpick to critisise Killzone 2 on, the statement that was made was downright false and ridiculous, this is what was written:

"Killzone 2 has a distinctive look to it, but the multiplayer maps don't really give the engine much chance to show off. There are lens flare effects and the weapons have plenty of detail to them, but there are certainly no physics-based money shots such as deformable scenery or movable objects."

He then went on to "stealthily" edit the article by changing the statement by replacing "deformable scenery or movable objects" with " no movable objects or vehicles" so as to hide the fact that the statement was obviously false. Did he actually play the beta? Because one of the first things anybody would notice in the beta are the destructible environements.

There is even more evidence to show the biased stance of reveiwers/previewers:

Valkyria chronicles has still not been reviewed even though it came out more than two whole weeks ago. They should have Re-Reviewed Socom: Confrontation by now (since server issues are a thing of the past). They should have been fair with the Fallout 3 version of the PS3, they took away its AAA status just because of one bug which will be patched? The game even runs as good as the 360 version, they were proven to be lying. This thread proves it.

GameSpot has become the laughing stock of the gaming industry. Remember when Jeff Gertsmann was fired over the Kane & Lynch Review? Eidos was paying up handsomely for the advertisements and Jeff reviewed the game honestly not taking the money earned into consideration and was fired for it. This has probably frightened reviewers who dont want to follow in Jeff's footsteps and go easy up on the game review if the pay is good.

It seems that M$ pay up better than Sony do and this is why GameSpot reviewers are more critical on PS3 games. Its sad but true, today the gaming industry has become a multi-billion dollar industry and all honesty and sincerity has been thrown out of the window in order to appease Multi-million dollar companies. GameSpot should sort out their problems.

Self ownage at its finest :lol:

Only problems with Killzone 1 were technical not gameplay. Killzone 2 will be on the PS3, it wont have technical issues. Plus GG learnt from their mistakes and expanded upon the previous game infinetly. Lets face it some lems are getting jealous. The Xbox 360 is so available I mean it is dirty cheap everybody. Lems are jealous they cant afford a PS3, the superior console.

I hope for your sake this doesnt become a MGS4 v2.0 were people are bashing it to death and it whips out a perfect 10 :P

But I must agree that these threads are getting to be a lil too much...:? Can we have a sticky?

I agree that MGS is a proven franchise, and all the nay sayers were idiots, but look at the facts pertaining to Killzone 2. First of all, we all know Guerilla messed up with KZ1, it wasnt bad gameplay-wise, it was the technical limitations of the system and the bugs that killed it. This time around we have the vastly more powerful PS3. And Guerilla games was acquired by Sony. So now when you think of Guerilla, You are actually talking about Sony games, and we all know what a great track record Sony has. Sure Guerilla Games are still a company but Sony will be handing out alot more help this time. And anyone remember Killzone Liberation? If anything, its great score would lead one to believe that Guerilla Games is improving in quality. So I personally think that:

Good Previews from virtually every source + The infinitely better KZ:L since GG was acquired by Sony + The importance of KZ2 for the PS3 would make it more bankable to believe that Killzone 2 will reach hype rather than flop. Or at the very least that its max possible score is higher than 8.0 as the TC suggests.

Honestly speaking, what have you heard (or played if you are in the beta) that has made you think that this game will flop other than "Killzone 1 flopped!". Absolutely nothing. There hasnt been a negative preview, virtually ever Beta tester is amazed. This game hasnt done anything wrong yet...its just suffering from the ol "Sins of the father" situation :?

Now that is a great post filled with sensible logic. Too bad blind fanboys dont have the ability to think.

Just because the first flopped doesnt mean this one will flop. The years of deelopement should pay off. Plus the developers learnt from their mistakes.

Also, it seems that most fanboys on SW are too thick to read. Thats right, if you actually read the review they said that Killzone was a great game but was plague by bugs and frame-rate issues. If these issues had been adressed it would have scored much better.

We will just have to wait and see but my bet is that Killzone 2 will embarass all 360 games.
