Killzone 2 has easily claimed the most hyped title for gaming recently. Gamers had crazy expectations for this title, and the pre-release reviews praised it highly. Now that is has been officially released in every territory, the gamers got to see how the game lived up to the hype. They found out however, that instead of living up the hype, for many, it surpassed it.
Killzone 2 is set in a futuristic sci-fi environment. There are two factions, the Helghast and the ISA. While the Helghast are ruled by a ruthless leader named Visari, the ISA is a regular functioning human culture. After the Helghast invaded Vektan, the ISA pushed back and invaded Helghan. The story begins here. You are Sev, an ISA solider on the Alpha squad, sent to help find Visari.
There are a number of environments that you find yourself fighting in throughout the campaign. If you played the demo, the first actual level you will be thrown into is the same one. You fly down to a beach and instantly begin fighting the Helghast soldiers. The environment reacts all around you, with explosions going off, Helghast shooting at you left and right, and your comrades getting mortally wounded. As you progress into farther levels, the battle scale changes, and you find yourself thrown into situations where you have to fight hundreds of Helghast with a tank or a big exoskeleton.
The multiplayer of Killzone 2 is excellent. The size of the battles, the depth of the classes, and the never ending action all contribute to making this the best online experience we have seen so far. There are 7 classes in Killzone 2, ranging from the standard soldier to the scout class. Starting with the soldier, you progress to unlock certain classes, badges, and abilities to help aid you during battle. These can range from deploying turrets and throwing medpacks to laying spawn points and disguising yourself as the enemy. The multiplayer is fast paced and quickly grows on you. Ranking up is not as difficult as it may sound, but don’t mistake this game as being easy either. A very useful thing that Guerilla games has implemented into Killzone 2 is the bot mode, where you can hone your skills and learn the maps by playing computer AI controlled characters at different difficulties.
Killzone 2 does not try to be your standard cookie cutter FPS. It focuses on realism and deep gameplay, both of which this game does extremely well, and better than anything we have ever seen before. KZ2 makes you feel like you are in a warzone at all times, both online and offline, by constantly keeping the action going. Whether you are getting shot by the AI or your best friend, you will be having a blast playing this game. Killzone 2 has lived past the hype in all aspects. It is certainly the most beautiful game available, and won’t be rivaled for some time. The actual warzone feel, the realism, and the beauty of this game allow it to be the best current game available across any platform.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.
Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.
resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword
Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2
Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.
There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.
Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence
The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.
man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!
32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III
One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.
https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...
So not a drop off.
Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
lol you are comparing:
HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)
HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)
We will see if it surpass original number.
@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years
Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself
Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.
I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
