I think Killzone 2 can deliver a 9.9
BTW 9.9 doesnt mean perfect it means that if you pick 10 things about the game 9.9 of them deliver.
Something like 1000000000000/1000000000000 would be perfect. But thats impossible.
It'll definitly get 5 stars.
I'm dubious about a review already. It's WAY too soon. I'm looking forward to the game, a 9.9/10 a full month before the game ships? C'mon.
Also, is it me or are a lot of the people on the forum here just foaming desperate for Killzone to fail? There seems to be a distinct undercurrent of hostility towards the game. It's okay, guys. The PS3 is allowed to have a good game of its own.

Hmm well I'd agree that there's no such thing as a perfect game (emphasis on PERFECT, cause yeah sure you can get a great game), but I really hope that it's as good as they reckon, I loved the first Killzone and hope this is as good (if not better, because as much as I liked it, I still have my criticisms).
First, it is absolutely amazing how 9/10 times you can tell some one's post opinion from their avatar. (Assuming relevance.)Shurikens and Lightning said:
Secondly, who in the world says that scores are only based on 10 things? Scores more often than now are broken down into categories such as gameplay, visuals, sound ...etc each of which have a multitude of components to consider.
PS3 game ratings are funny. Their game selection is so limited in PS3 exclusives that they've no real frame of reference to compare to. This gives them license to hype the snot out of the few that come along.
I get your skepticism, but review code is already out for Killzone 2. The guys at the AU Playstation mag have had it for a while now (admittedly, this is the official mag, so what else would you expect). I know, because I regularly play one of the writers on R2, and he won't stop going on about it.BiscuitWheels said:

That's not exactly an ironclad argument against the suggestion that Playstation 3 exclusives are rated higher because the rarity of said exclusives forms a poor frame of reference. It's more like he's acknowledging the exclusives are rare but thinks the frame of reference is in tact because he's completely oblivious to what being a port job means.

When someone reviews an exclusive game, they don't just compare it to other exclusive games, they compare it to every game. What you're saying simply doesn't make any sense.geldonyetich said:
If by "every game" you mean "every game from every platform" you're certainly off. Many reviewers give different ratings on the same game on different platforms, not only because some ports are worse than others, but also because they're basing it on the relativity of other games out for that platform. A FPS released on a platform which is already FPS-rich is going to be under a lot more scrutiny. Also, sometimes the hardware capabilities and presentation are so different it doesn't make any sense to give them the same rating, for example comparing a Nintendo DS version to an XBox 360 version. (When this doesn't happen, it's usually just because it's easier, not because they're being truly objective.)Eipok Kruden said:
If by "every game" you mean "every game on that platform" then that's exactly the point I was making when I said the frame of reference is distorted by port jobs. Most of the games you're going to see on the Playstation 3 were optimized first for the XBox 360. Often, the developers won't make the time to make sure the Playstation 3 plays it as well, because a lot more time was spent play testing and tweaking it on the console it was originally developed for.
Thus, when a Playstation 3 exclusive comes along and is compared to those port jobs, obviously it's going to seem a whole lot better. It was always developed and tested on the Playstation 3 from start to finish. Thus, they can afford to give it a ridiculous, 10/10 rating, because it's not like the gamers can tell it's anything other than "better" than most the games they play. (This is that missing "frame of reference" I was referring to.)
Alright, it wasn't fair for me to suggest that was implied knowledge. But if you're arguing against these fundamental truths, I'm probably not going to bother to argue back. There's no way I can force you to research how games are made.
