Killzone 2 - Enter The Killzone

I'm finding it strange that one of the most shoddy overhyped games has spawned a sequel that looks amazing and has me really excited for it.
 
I've been reading about Guerilla games because i have the same queries as you. It looks like they're an incredibly talented bunch of people, both Sony and Microsoft displayed interest in purchasing them in order to secure their future titles, the failure of Killzone 1 seems to have scared off Microsoft (who were suffering in the console market at that point anyway) but Sony bought them regardless.

I can only think there must be other evidence we don't know of that secured them as such a hot property among the console developers such as a tech demo or previous experience. Sony are excellent at running the hype machine (but often pap at delivering) and i'm sure they'd do this for any of their 1st party developers which is adding to the excitement. They've also got excellent taste in choosing developers to buy or form, examples of which would be media molecule or evolution studios, both of which were unheard of when they were purchased, yet have produced some excellent titles. As i say, there's comething to Guerilla that Sony know but we don't.

But yes, there is something unexplainable that makes Guerilla games into an exciting developer, all they've delivered so far is a pap game and a good handheld game yet nobody seems to be able to get enough of them.

I think I may wait until it is out and I have seen a few reviews before I purchase this one. It does look good but so have many other disappointing games prior to release.

I hope it is though as the PS3 needs more use than Valkyria Chronicles and the wife's Singstar!
 
I think we're pretty much garanteed this is good. Unlike games such as GTAIV which many will argue was not as good as reviewers made out, Killzone 2 has had lots of public exposure with playable demos and a closed beta all being available at some point or another. Every person i know who has had access to this game has loved it, most of these aren't anywhere near being Sony fanboys, Knives being a good example who is generally critical of PS3 material yet loved the beta.
 
If anyone has any concerns about this game being any good, then just watch this video.... Watch it in HD full screen.


If Infinity Ward made a Call of Duty game set in the future, this would be it.
 
To claim Studio Liverpool was unheard of is a bit of a stretch, just about everyone I know that games could tell you a Psygnosis made game.
