flameboy Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I hope there is something explaining the story so far because I'm a KillZone noob. same here.... I've been wondering with its release in a relatively quiet patch could this tempt people into buying a PS3, is it that good?
LegoMan1031 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I hope there is something explaining the story so far because I'm a KillZone noob. Same for me also! Did anyone actually play the first one? lol
dwarf Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 The first one wasn't very good, the controls were shocking, and the level I played seemed repetitive and boring. However the guns were still pretty cool. That gif looks awesome! How can I use that in a post?
Deathjam Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I disagree. The controls were fine for the first game but you are right about the weapons. They were awesome, if a little run of the mill and lacking in numbers. The scopes on them were awesome though, especially the helghast ones. The only thing that really annoyed me really was the fact that towards the later parts of the game, the enemies became bullet sponges. But I actually really loved the game, as back then, I was tired of shooting aliens. I wanted clever human opponents set in a futuristic setting, not boring WWII.
dwarf Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah I was going to say, the last few missions are ridiculous with the enemies that welcome lead to the face. I wonder what the ranking pace is like, it won't be the same for the beta I don't think. In Resistance I've been playing for quite an age in competitive ranked, I've won lots of straight deathmatches and loads of team/skirmishes yet i'm only at level 19, when there are 50 ranks, and it takes more XP to level up each time. It's crazy the amount of time some people have already put in to get to the top rank.
Domo Kun Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 This game looks so amazing that you just know it's going to be crap. There'll be something about it that ruins it completely. For example, perhaps the levels being repetitive or something.

Domo Kun Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 But it looks TOO good. I watched an IGN video earlier today and I just can't believe a game could actually be so insanely awesome. It looks like COD times ten!

Domo Kun Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I'm afraid I don't watch Dragon Ball... I bet that is funny though. What can I reference in relation to my statement... urm... Oh! It looks double plus good

It looks double plus good Wow...you killed my joke stone dead. Ahem. Anyways, one of the reasons i chose PS3 over the 360 was cos of this game so I have a lot riding on it. I don't think I will be disappointed. TBH, the thought of disappointment never ocurred to me...till now. Happy thoughts! Must think Happy Thoughts!
LegoMan1031 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Even if the single player falls flat (unlikely from what i played, it was fun and immersive). The multiplayer will be the best fps of this gen. That is what i like to be hearing
jammy2211 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 URg I'm gonna be suckered into buying this cause of the hype and graphix. Actually, I'm at uni, so hopefully by the time I think about parting with my cash I'll know if it's worth it.
Daft Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Eurogamer Hands On Not sure if this has been posted but here is a video with the tech behind the game. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43388.html?type=mov Sounds like they really found how to get some power out of the PS3.

Nice post. Tech interview was really interesting. Anyways, as far as I know, shopto.net has this at the cheapest pre order of 32.99. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Daft Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 I really can't wait. I love how the particles effects actually have a physical presence and that the wind affects them.
dwarf Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I think the game will be cooler and more rewarding than resistance 2, but it's going to have to go some distance to better the fun factor of it. I've really got stuck into the competitive mode and it is so good. The weapons are well balanced and very enjoyable to use and change around. It's the little things in it as well. I was just in a team deathmatch and there were loads of campers on this balcony, well I whipped out the LAARK and launched a megaton rocket at them, It spirals wickedly in the air for a few seconds and then blows the whole area out. 5 kills. WIN!
dwarf Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I know it's not Resistance that's why I say it'll probably not quite reach the levels of fun. It'll be better for different reasons.
Daft Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 In the end I still couldn't avoid getting the floating gun feel from Resistance 2. I hear KZ2 has a lot of weight to it which I love.
dwarf Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Timesplitters was awesome yet that was the floatiest an FPS could get. This is trying to be slightly more realistic though.
Daft Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Timesplitters was awesome yet that was the floatiest an FPS could get. This is trying to be slightly more realistic though. lol, and that's why I wasn't that big a fan of Timeplitters. I'm not saying one way is better, I just prefer the weight. Part of the reason I like Assassin's Creed so much was because Altair had a weight to him. I like feeling grounded in a game.
dwarf Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Hehe, well I'm a fan of both so I'm lucky I guess.
MATtheHAT Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Floaty guns FTW!! If you look down in CoD4, THERE IS NO FEET!!! Now thats a proper floating gun.
Deathjam Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Floaty guns FTW!! If you look down in CoD4, THERE IS NO FEET!!! Now thats a proper floating gun. God I HATE that!
MATtheHAT Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Haha. Looks like Europe gets the demo without preordering Hope its multiplayer. Source? ...............
