"Impressed by Killzone"

Saw some videos of this a while back, and despite the hype of the supposed "Halo-beater" - that wasn't even finished, let alone out! - it looked a bit ass. But some more recent videos show that they've sorted out choppy framerates, and now it's looking excellent. Might have to keep an eye on this one...

Hardly, a lot of the time marketing for Playstation games tries to shout about being better than a more advanced competeing game we've seen it time and time again:

"Tomorrow Never Dies will be our Goldeneye"

"Mace Griffin will be better than Halo"

"Firewarrior will be better than Halo"

It's a case of the boy crying 'Halo beater' too many times. Nobody believes the claims anymore.

Vietcong on the PC is excellent, the Xbox version is different though, as will the Far Cry and Call of Duty versions.

Why spoil a good book for the sake of originality? Rarely works.

Remind me never to get into a car with you then!

I think this thread shows the extent X-box fanboys are willing to go to put down a Sony game actually - if one of Halo's weakest features is being touted as the reason Killzone won't compare (and it DOESN'T compare, it's totally different).

I think all first person games are overrated. Metroid Prime = Dull after a few hours. Halo = Dull if you play for longer than half an hour at a time. No doubt Killzone will be dull as well.

Vietcong online is excellent, well the PC version anyway. Hope the xbox one lives up - especially the tenseness of Halong Port!

Hmmm seem to have stumbled into the xbox forum by accident

Vietcong's supposed to be a lot better than reviews suggest.

Far Cry could turn out crap on the Xbox, as could Call of Duty, in the same way that Vietcong has.

As for Half Life 2, last I heard it was heading to the Xenon...

Wow, forgot about this thread. I think it shows what a hang-up Sony people have about Halo though - about 2 posts in before it deteriorated into Sony fanboys trying to put it down! Halo is fantastic, and the driving bits are loads of funs. The handling is perfect, and looking where the 'Hog travels is right - they're not space owls, the Master Chief can't turn his head 180 degrees.

I said I was impressed by Killzone, that's all. It looks much better than it did, and I may buy it. Although Halo 2, Half Life 2, and Far Cry on the Xbox will be far superior.

Yeah, though I hope they've used the D Pad for something more useful this time round other round; when I played the XB version all it did was emulate the stick.

What'd be cool would be if you could press the D-pad and switch between various uniform colours in game. So you could switch to black, green, yellow, brown etc to get some camo in different areas.
