hello boys and girls!
i ve got some hot news for us diehard PS2 owners. I just saw a few screenshots for upcoming PS2 exclusive KILLZONE. Remember that name. It's going to be huge. HUUUUGE!!!!!! It's developed by 'Guerilla'- Europe based Sony's new development team. Everything about the game is still hush hush! All I know is that it's due for the first qurter 2004 release, sometime! The game itself is a first person shooter, but by the looks of it it's going to rival Halo 2's massive gameplay and graphics. The word is that it's likely to be even more engenious and inovative. All I have to say about the subject is: 'HA HA', to you X-box owners. I think it's long overdue that PS2 got some great FPS, as X-box kicked it's but in FPS genre department. But no more. I just hope there will be no delays or such, and the game will rise to meet it's skyhigh potential and expectation! Well done! well done indeed!!!
By the way does anyone have any info on Ico 2???? I know it was anaunced, than canceled(delayed maybe??), than some screenshots came trough, than they show us nothing on this year's E3, till I don't know what to think anymore! Thats really strange move by Sony at best, since Ico is one of those games that could really make a difference, don't you think???

Well considering we don't ACTUALLY know what's in Halo 2 yet that's a tall order.

Yes you get 1 FPS game which is 'supposed' to better than an unreleased game that little it known about.

Still does and by 2004 it'll have another bucketload.
Still nice to know some PS2 owners feel it's under threat from a quality games machine. ;)
I doubt This game is going to beat Halo 2 considering it can't do the math for Doom3.
Now YOU do the math.

Now YOU do the math.
*PS2 can't do the math
Just because it can't do the math for doom 3 dosn't mean that killzone can't be of a very high standard.
Fair enough. No doubt it will be of high standard but what I am saying is:
"Don't hold your breath for a Halo 2 beater".
The magazines tend to hype up these things, apparently Mace Griffin/griffon was good, it was billed as a Halo beater but I haven't heard anyone raving about it recently so I assume that wasn't true.
I remember the biggest mistake was when the claimed Tomorrow Never dies was better than Goldeneye! That really spells out how idiotic the gaming press can be.
To be fair though every platform tries to say it's exclusives are better than others and lazy reveiwing compliments this approach. For instance on the back of Morrowind there is a quote claiming that it is 'Xbox's GTA'. This makes a nice soundbite but it's hardly true.

I hate these 'can't do the math' discussions. It makes no sense. Ever seen anything to rival F-Zero GX or MGS2 on a high-end PC? I doubt it. It's what you do with the hardware that counts, not what it's theoretically capable of.
It is a silly argument to make.
Doom 3 was designed for the PC. The PS2 can't do the math because it isn't designed to run on the PS2. Given time I am sure the developers could get a decent version of the game going on a PS2. Just not the same as the PC version.
The architecture of the Xbox is similar to that of a PC and more advanced in most areas to the PS2 so a version of Doom 3 could be produced quickly for it.
I see Hedfix's point though, too many times we see 'Halo beater' or 'Could beat GTA3' etc and the hype just makes the game seem too good to be true.
From what I have seen of Killzone it does look a great game which should only get better.
"Fingers crossed"

Killzone is one I am keeping an eye on. I read the article in OPS2 which was written by what I class as a complete kn*b who says Halo is nothing special one minute but in the next sentence Killzone can be compared to the level of Halo...
Oh and by the way, MGS2 is on the PC...
