"Pick up any shotgun, assault rifle, or machine gun try to convince yourself it varies from the tried and true WWII weaponry in anything other than model and clip size." Have you ever heard of the Heckler & Koch G11? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_&_Koch_G11
Well theguy arguing for KZ2 just kept stating all the cool things about GOW2 it was funny so GOW2 wins in the article. However both of these games will suck when Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 comes out this year. I mean come on COD4 is still the 3rd most popular online game 14 months after it was released and that is the sign of a truly great game.
This was kinda long, and though informative, not the funny spectacle I usually tune in for at Glamsrotor.calm Maybe just pulling parts of Killzone 2 and comparing it to the other games in a shorter article would have been nicer. I really want KZ2 to do well, I thought the first one was awesome. I don't think of heard of a game with objective switching multiplayer outside, I guess kinda the Unreal onslaught power whatever maps, though UT3 was a horrible experience for me compared to the previous games.
I love how after I read this article, I soon found half the internet was up in arms about how Gamesradar is 'Biased', 'Should be banned', 'Fanboys', simply for a debate article over Killzone 2. Now I'm all for Killzone 2, but I know full well the 360 is a good system and is obviously leading in the USA. And if you fail to see this, then I do think somethings wrong with You.
People are allowed to have their own opinions about Killzone 2, and not be criticized about every minor negative nitpick. It's all really just completely unnecessary. I in fact, enjoyed this article. Of course, the Resistance 2/Killzone 2 Vehicle section was somewhat ridiculous, it was a good article that most seem to not be able to comprehend.
For the time spent on making Killzone it better wipe the floor with all 3, but well Gears has awesome Horde and great Co-op, CoD I can never get on Live without someone playing it(Plus you get too shoot ZOMBIE NAZI'S COMON >:|) And well...resistance has pure scale and awe of enemies...doubt Killzone can compete with 1 let alone all of them. (Time it took for killzone CoD has released 3 games and two new franchises with two chapters in with GoW and resistance....that alone should means the world)
i hate CoDWaW... i got for christmas and the graphics sucks, the gameplay sucks, the AI sucks AAAANNND i doesnt haz XBOXX LIFVES
(Modern warfare was sooo much better)
i hate the coversystems in games.
want to avoid getting shot? press a damn button and the game does it for you! withouth a coversystem you have to seek cover yourselves, the game doesnt save your ass.
coversystem = immortality. especialy since all games allow you to regenerate health just by not getting shot.
I love gamesradar for its witty humour when theyre talking about games and sometimes situations, i hate gamesradar more than i love it, as they seem to revel in spurring on the console war. I personally think that Gears looks like a wannabe halo. put first person view in, it would probably be a gorier version of a 8 year old game. Killzone 2 is different for me, as its one of the only games out there where you arent an invincible badass, you can die quite easily. More realism = Epic gameplay, real emotion, replay value.
I'm rather dissapointed to hear that there is no alternate fire button in Killzone 2. For me thats what made the first game so enjoyable. More or less every weapon had a secondary fire, the Helghast rifle had a shotgun on the bottom of it, now that was fucking entertaining to use.
I wonder if they kept the Squad Cannon from the original. That remains to this day my favourite videogame weapon ever.
I am going to refrain from any kind of hate spiel as I am entirely neutral towards the consoles and really enjoy seeing good games being developed even if it is for a console I don't own. Well except for the Wii obviously, chuffing hate that little white box.
Yea why are you compareing two shooters in the same console generation who are competeing against each other. GR should be compareing Crysis and the origional pong. Dur.
(Sarcasm)
Setting/Story/Characters: Setting, Gears. Story, Gears. Characters/Gears. Short and simple
Combat: Well both games are just shoot the enemie. But Gears of War you can hide from cover and have a lot more options like if you want to switch to the other side of the door in a seacond.
Friends/Enemies: The friends in killzone just seem a bit more true. Enemies...c,mon gears of war I mean seriously.
Vehicles: The vehicles in Gears of War get seriosuly way too annoying!
Weapons: The weapons in Gears of War get frustrating and confusing, like the mortar for example.
Multiplayer: Team deathmatch, control points blah blah blah like we never player something like that before. Gears of War horde and it doesnt have a concept of just shooting the crap out of the other team.
Killzone vs Call of Duty World at War.
Visuals: WaW it's just more real like
Setting/Story/Characters: Only WaW delivers what war really looks like. Story WaW since well It's World War II! Characters, well SGT. Reznov is the most coolest and badass character I ever see, so WaW.
Combat: Well they are basically the same but I'm going with WaW because you face dozens of soilders and tanks.
Friends/Enemies: Friends, again SGT.Reznov. Enemies, "Damn those japanese are brutal!!!"
Vehicles: Who doesn't want a tank with a flamethrower built in!
Weapons: The only thing special of WaW is a flamethrower and Ray gun. So killzone wins that one.
Multiplayer: With zombie mode a dozen of match choices, and dozens of perks and customize your own classes each with unique special abilities depeneding on what you put. Who doesn't think WaW wins that. (People who never played WaW probably would think Killzone is better)
NOTE* I did'nt include Resistance because I never player Resistance.
Oh and plus Weird James Face you're a true idiot. The graphics are way better in WaW then Modern Warfare. The gameplay is the same. And.....Well you got me on the AI, But what do you mean WaW doesn't have Live!!!
Why is everyone hating on Games Radar? They are aways doing Killzone articles because its the latest "big thing" and they need to get hits, to say open. Now as for the article, KZ had a supporter to unless no-one noticed? It was a fun article and both sides raised valid and silly points. Just take it for what it is, a bit of fun.
