Sony is certainly hoping that orange-eyed FPS Killzone 2 will make them some bank this year, and the promotion wheels are starting to turn with ever-increasing speed. The publisher has recently made an optimistic claim, suggesting that its Space Nazi romp will do better than last year's high profile exclusive, Metal Gear Solid 4. Those bastards.
"It would be a lie to say Sony has not invested heavily in Killzone 2 and each individual at Guerrilla games has worked even harder to satisfy any expectations kept by the company and their loyal community," said a Sony rep, somehow thinking that we're not used to a publisher lying. "I do see the game breaking a barrier with a huge variety of groups and expect it to see sales as good as Metal Gear Solid 4 if not beyond it."
Naturally, Sony was wise not to bet against its most successful exclusive, Haze, which so far has sold over 780,000,000 copies in Paraguai alone, with a 110% Metacritic rating and a fresh scent of lemons in every box. Aaaah, citrus fresh!

Killzone 2 will be entertaining for 20 minutes. Then it'll be, OK, I'm accustomed to the great graphics, how much generic gameplay left till I'm done.
Everyone in Amsterdam has red-eye... It makes perfect sense.
I am gonna explode all over this game.
JIM, MORE OF THESE CAPTIONS!! PLEEEASE!
You should do some kind of competition for photo captions. That would be great. Have a word Jim.
As for the red-eye, we ain`t smokin' weed and bangin' hookers because its legal
That's encouraging. Though I don't expect this game to play better than CoD4, the gameplay videos held my interest enough to pass on Resistance. To be honest Resistance never really interested me that much anyway, I want a strong single player game to go with my Co-op and multiplayer.
The chick looks alot like Tina Sanchez from 1UP.
The last time I witnessed that was an advert for Little Big Planet, on Sky Sports.
Definitely a demographic strong point for that kind of game.
Piss poor FPS on the 360? Like what? Last time I checked both 360 and PS3 had pretty much the same stuff minus Halo 3 that according to Metacritic isnt exactly piss poor.
Also, jaded person are you aint ya? I think is not about games and more about Zoloft. Just sayin'.
Why is this considered funny? While I respect and even value some of Jim's contributions to Destructoid, why this? It's just ugly and utterly puerile.
From what I've heard and read everywhere so far was that people who got in the beta, or played the game within the past month or 2 had a blast playing it. And these aren't people from Sony or Guerilla exclusive sites or their PR people, or fanboys. These are every day people like some who post here, and a few of my friends as well. That's not to say someone won't like the game, but ffs at least experience it first before you shit on it.

I'm with you sir. I don't know why R2 gets bashed on so much. Sure its not breaking down the walls of innovation but the game is fun nonetheless.
However, back on topic. If the final KZ2 is as fun as its MP beta, then the game deserves to do well and I personally found it just as entertaining as COD so HA!.
Create? That picture is old.

Until Guerilla can prove they can make a good game, I'm not going to get all gaga over KZ2.
