kill zone 2

[SamUK]

No they couldn't. I doubt the THQ team of the mid-nineties could ever create a decent game even given 40 years.

It's like music: You can either write something good or you can't. Give me a million years and I'll still not be able to write an album anywhere near as good as something Paul McCartney could knock up in half a day. Talent goes a long way, and writing games is more than just being able to code and use a fancy graphics package.

ok, any decent dev worth talking about then. they would love that much time to spend on development but they cant afford it. simple.

and in a million years i think youd accidentally make something good!!

h3rb, alan wake hasnt made half the fuss killzone 2 has and i havent spoken to anyone who bought there 360 jus for that game.

on the other hand, nealry all PS3 owners bought the console for MGS and GT5.

[H3RB]

you know when people say "im only getting that console for this game"
they dont actually mean its the only game they are going to play...
i got mine just for mgs4 and now im glad i did.
ive said it before but its true.
if the ps3 was released in 2005 and the 360 in 2007 (uk releases)
either:
A) you guys would all be banging on how great the ps3 is compared to the 360
or
B) when the 360 came out you would not have a bad word to say about it even tho it would be alot worse then the ps3 for the first few years.
my fave console atm is the ps3 i NEVER wanted a ps3 and i had the 360 since launch day in 2005, infact ive had 6 in total due to either getting bored of it and selling it or it dying an being replaced.
maybe if some of u got a ps3 and actually sat down and played it for a while and not just round a mates for a few hours you would see that it really is a great console.
the controllers are comfy when you get used to them, they used to make my wrists ache at first but then again now the 360 pad makes my wrists ache along with playing fps's using the key board on the pc.
or maybe your just in denial because your console is not as good as you thought it should be lol

WTF - Alan Wake?

I saw an advert for it about a year ago, thought it looked ok then proceeded to forget it existed lol.

[SamUK]

if MS had spent billions developing a console that looked awesome on paper but at the end of the day didnt warrant the price tag, and they announced everything before they had even started development. then they took 10 x longer than anyone else to actual develop it then yea, your probably right.

there all good reasons to dislike a company so i would probably of preffered the PS3.

my huge problem with sony is they came into this expecting an easy ride. they thought lets get the best spec together and everyone will love it.

thats why the PSN took so long to catch up and looks like a handheld (!!), they didnt get to optimise the gpu to make it so devs could actually use the cell and they have slacked off on there development of AAA title.


wheres that 360 vs PS3 final thread? i have a feeling someones gonna winge about a hijack soon......

nealry all PS3 owners bought the console for MGS and GT5.

I held out for the PS3 because just about everyone i knew who got a 360 had it die on them time and time again, Wasn't in a rush to upgrade as i still had loads to finish on the PS2. The 360's reliability issues were a joke and despite playing all the games for it round at friends nothing jumped out at me and made me want to buy one (apart from Bioshock which was rumored to be making a PS3 appearance at a later date )

And why do you keep bringing up the Cell/GPU issues? I don't think PS3 owners actually care, We're too busy enjoying playing what the crappy piece of flawed silicon has given us so far.

[Andy Jones]

Off to try Killzone 2 now

[oukie]

Playing it now on vetran ,

[H3RB]

Did you get Bioshock in the end? Great game! Just saw the ad for Killzone, who's that narrating?

[Andy Jones]

Did you get Bioshock in the end? Great game!

Yup, Finished it weekend Got a bit fed up with it on level 3 and had to have a break but once i went back to it I found it hard to put down. Great game, Fabulous story (and talk of possibly 5 sequels )

But I forgot to create 2 saves before the last level so i haven't seen both endings.

[H3RB]

did level 5 tonight before i went out, the last part is damn annoying on veteran. think there are 9 or 10 levels on the game according to the trophies.
been playing 4 hours 53mins and still have 5 levels left so how did you finish it in 5 hours thai

[Ekona]

But I forgot to create 2 saves before the last level so i haven't seen both endings.

If it's any consolation it makes no difference when you save, as you need to either save 99% of the girls or you won't get the 'good' ending regardless. Kill a few of them early on and you're stuffed

[matt_mr2t]

I harvested ONE girl and got the bad ending.

I will play that game again, I just need a break of a month when I have nothing new to play.

So, any one know who the guy in the Killzone advert is?

I'm gonna get this game, it does look good to me. Got 5/5 in the Sun today. They said the story is a little lame but the graphics and online play are superb.

[matt_mr2t]

Cant be as lame as GOW2 though to be fair.
Could anything, after being a great game end so badly?

Agreed mate. End boss was cool but far far far to easy to kill, even on Insane.

[matt_mr2t]

Sorry, I cant even call that a boss.

It was just a glorfied cut scene. I'm sure it would have ended if I had fired my gun at it or not.

none of the bosses in gears 2 were challenging in the slightest each one was short and simple

[matt_mr2t]

I had more trouble with some of the situations where I was pinned down with multiple enemies. TBH, othter than the big fish thing and the end "boss" I didnt realise there was much else.
