I'm a. Big big fan!!! Hell, (look at my profile picture) I have the "G" from Gurilla Games tattooed on both my arms! Can't wait to see if this is all true!!!
I think the eye candy will be stunning. I wonder what extra advantages they will have "art direction wise", with the extra power, the handcuffs are almost off now, they will (do) have so much extra room to create a stunning masterpiece, not to even mention the extra power to add in wonderful new gameplay twists and expansive set pieces....
I also hope we get to hear about there other "IP"...Exciting times ahead for sure...
Killzone 2 was this generations best FPS followed by COD4: Modern Warfare. The online was an absolute delight. The clan system worked so well and the matches were so much fun. There is no doubt in my mind that if this is true, we're looking at a system seller.
There are few franchises that i wanted for PS4 at launch, Klllzone was in the top. Picture yourself the graphics!
If you think about it, this makes perfect sense atleast in marketing terms.... KZ4 for PS4.
Subjective ofcourse. Should've said "inmyopinion" =p
Agree that Bad Company 2 was delicious in terms of multiplayer, especially the destruction. But i still believe the clan system in KZ2 was so excellently implemented that it made the game so much better. The "team" vibe in a multiplayer match in KZ2 was so great. The modes were also better than Bad Company 2, in comparison they made the game that much more balanced in KZ2 than Bad Company 2.
a clan system being the reason why a mp shooter defined a gen?
...yeaaa no
Cod4 defined MP shooter this gen. BC/BC2 opened up the genre as far as depth. Battlefield 3 ended the generation. Dayz defined how far we've come.
Killzone 2 implemented game modes that have been in place for years. sluggish controls and low fps ensured the Killzone franchise remained average this gen. A next-gen Killzone title will consist of a higher resolution, higher AA, HD textures and 60 fps. You'd be surprised at the night and day difference this would make. don't expect much else. I also doubt they shoot for 60fps.
I'll be picking this up day one then. Killzone 3 is still a game that I play fairly often, and its definitely one of my favorite multiplayer games this generation. I just hope the single player is a bit better this time around.
I just want a Helghast single-player campaign. Those bastards are an icon, and nothing would said "Welcome to PS4" better that a quick starting cut-scene of putting on that gas mask.
That has to be a joke. There's nothing balanced about Killzone 2's multiplayer. First off, there's upgrades as you level up. Meaning already more experienced players have more abilities, weapons, etc. That's pretty much the definition of unbalanced. Not to mention 1hit body shot sniper, running around at 800mph, invisibility, looking like the other team, sentry guns / turrets, etc. That multiplayer is built for fun (if you find all of that to be fun), not for balance or competitiveness. Balanced multiplayers are ones where everyone starts the match the same, no matter their level, on a mirrored map ala Resistance: Fall of Man. The only separation then is skill (or scruby 1hit gameplay) and experience.
I've platinumed Killzone 2 & 3, Resistance 2 & 3, Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, CoD WaW MW2 MW3 Blops, Uncharted 1-3, etc.. None are perfectly balanced, a lot are far from it. Besides a couple 1hit weapons, R:FoM is (was, pretty dead nowadays) the most balanced and competitive.
I currently went back to get some MAG trophies. That's another game that would be a joke to be called balanced. A level 70 starts the match as Superman compared to a level 1. Not only is a level 70 clearly more experienced, but they can move faster, run faster and longer, have 20% more health, are more resistant to damage, have stronger and more accurate weapons, can heal faster, their knife (melee) could be stronger and faster, they can track you while not showing up on your radar, etc.
On topic, definitely intererested in PS4 (likely a day 1 buy) and KZ4.
In order it's KZ2, KZ3 and then KZ1. I guess when the the PS4 is announced or released it will be the year of the 4 and not only the year of the PlayStation.
No matter what, I'm saving my dimes and nickels for Next Generation consoles. That is if, just half of the rumored games are coming out at launch for both consoles.
I actually enjoyed the first KZ more than the rest. I loved playing as different ISA members. Going in stealthy or gunz blazin. I also thought Templar was better than Sev...and the maps were much more open than both KZ2 and KZ3.
They need to bring back player choice and the chapters in KZ4. Basically make a next gen KZ1...
I dont think Killzone 4 will be out in 2013, itll be a launch title for for when the PS4 is released in Europe/US in 2014
Im only basing that on Japan not liking fps that much, and most of the Killzone fanbase is in Europe/US
Id feel like Guerrilla Games are giving me the finger if its released there before here, we would appreciate it and want it more, you wont see a Final Fantasy game being released in Europe before Japan
ps4/nextbox will never play a game in 4k, movies, maybe, probably not....games, you'll be lucky to get 1080p native in 70% of games, many will be less
expect 2-3 year old gamin pc quality and your in the ballpark of what next gen will offer, still a huge leap over ps3/360, but people thinking ps4 nextbox will even be in the same league as a gtx 680-690 with 12gb ram and an i7 2600k
lol....keep dreaming, a modern pc will run circles around ps4/nextbox, you'll see as soon as those multiplats drop, the pc will FAR outperform the consoles just like last gen, every game, everytime, with WAY higher resolutions, better aa, af, dof, ssoa..ect..e.ct...ect...
imo KZ2 gameplay and gfx were much better, KZ3 was very confusing, it was a cluster F, still a nice game but it copied CoD, KZ2 had a different feel than CoD, Im a huge CoD fan but i like other things to be different
the enemies in KZ2 felt huge, every enemy encounter in the SP felt big, the helghast felt larger than life in KZ2, it reminded me of TUROK 2 enemy feel, KZ3 had waay to many enemies and die very quickly and cheaply just like CoD enemies
have to disagree kz2 class balance was much better way more options and you could mix match classes. Also the game seemed to play better and didnt feel cluttered or that anything was OP like jet packs and the saboteur class. And with no complete health regen (it stops at 60% for normal and 100% for assault it payed to be a team medic to give players health. Way more team oriented IMO
I would like it to be true but I've never even heard of the site the rumor started on so I don't trust it. The site just sounds like someone paid a fortune for the domain name. They have a relatively small following (6000 twitter followers, 0-3 comments per article).
I'll just wait until the 20th to see if it's true or not before getting my hopes up.
How many more killzones is sony going to cram down our throats? This has to be five or 6 since the ps3 release. They have all gone down hill since two and if this one does as well sony should shelve this franchise for a long time imo.
GG are working on 2 games one is a new IP other is KZ4, this isn't news but still is awesome that it will come this year and may even launch with the system.
KZ series have never sold halo numbers but you launch new KZ with a new system almost everyone who buys the system within first 3-6 months will buy KZ4 so the brand will grow as ps4 itself
i have said it before and say it again give me KZ4 and Gt6 day one and i will buy the system. now it maybe KZ4 with LBP3 which is still awesome so day one lol.
but you better show GT6 running on PS4
i think its a safe bet to assume that on February 20th sony will show the system and may even show some tech demos
but they will not reveal complete specs or maybe they will
but most of the games and other info will be at E3.
this is what MS did with xbox360 show the system but talk about everything else at E3
I wouldn't want Guerrilla games to rush the development of killzone 4 i want it to be the best it can possibly be. I hope KZ4 is more like the KZ2 in turns of playable vehicle sections (alot of them)and story structure. Though i think GG need to hire a bigger team for development similar to 343i with guys from id(DOOM) which i think have awesome level and weapon design skills. And possibly guys from Half life and DICE ( with their awesome sound effects). Also i feel GG need someone like Corrinne Yu she did great work on Halo4.
.... It does not state this year at all in the article. It states Launch Window which could be up to 6 months after launch really. I expect Febuary 2014 we see KILLZONE 4 launch. Why? Well GG has a habit of launching Killzone titles around February since KILLZONE 2, but that doesn't make it impossible.
I hope KILLZONE 4 multiplayer is a little better with better map design. KZ2, and KZ3 were just arena maps. Its time to expand beyond that with more open maps.
Funny sure but the usage of there instead of their drove me a little nuts. Hopefully that was intended, making a mistake like that twice is almost unforgivable.
I don't want the "same qualitative level of KZ2 CGI trailer that they showed at E3 2005." I want it to be bigger, better and in real time, like they have been doing on all the games they have shown so far that are coming this year on the PlayStation 3.
Still...just for the fun of it, it would be cool if they would open with the exact same trailer for the presentation ... just make it even look better... and then, zoom out and let it run in real time with someone picking up the controller and running through it on stage. How awesome would that be! (quality ramped up to the CGI scenes from KZ3, yeah)
Well, this seems to be a pretty strong rumor. If true Sony will have a guaranteed purchase from me and the hardcore fans.
But listen, the fans say they want original experiences so far MS already released a Halo and Forza Gears Of War, coming soon.
Fable is said to be coming in 14 so that leaves MS with the anticipated Alan Wake 2, PGR (haven't seen in while) Ryse, Something from Rare, and apparently something Ruffian studios the guys who made crackdown. So that leaves is brand new hardcore Ip's (apparently 4) (and Kinect I guess)
Im not saying Sony is only gonna have 1 game at launch Sucker Punch new game UE4 is in the works. But what I'm saying is, MS won't have their usual line up right at launch but instead (looking like) pure original titles along with Alan Wake 2.
Do you think the next Xbox deserves a purchase just from this evidence? Just based on the hugely possible originality of hardcore games MS could present to us?
To be honest, that doesn't warrant a buy from me. I hate Gears of War with a passion, Rare hasn't made anything good since Grabbed by the Ghoulies, PGR was always meh, and Alan Wake 1 was alright, but I'm not running out to see a sequel or anything. but like I said, that's my opinion.
Killzone 2 Killzone 3 Killzone HD Killzone Mercenary but lets not count that since it's an PSV game
If MS had a handheld you would be seeing a lot more Halo/Gears
So yeah I don't really see the problem here especialy when it's coming next gen and is probably only being made to test out the tec behind the PS4 so when GG do a NEW IP they've had experience
Yeah... And all those were still published by MS? Your comment has below zero logic. It's on a different scale of logic. We should start handing out awards on N4G. Killzone HD shouldn't even be counted as it was just there to get this gen up to speed on the story. So that's 2 games in 6 years. Compared to 5 games (I will exclude Halo CE to be fair) in 7 years
I assume you don't buy Mario, Zelda, CoD or any EA sports franchise. Companies milk what people buy. Call of duty has two different teams that do nothing but milk CoD.
stop it thom you are making too much sense for the sony hater to understand.don't burst his safe bubble of a world he has created for himself, but do burst his commenting bubbles so we can hear less of his trolling
Its still not milking either way. Now if you say Mario. Now that is milking. Mario Tennis, Mario Kart. Mario Soccer. Mario cooking mama. Mario wash my feet. Mario bathing. Mario sims.
Milking? Only 7 Mario Karts in last 19 years. Only 2 Mario football games in last 8 years. Only 6 Mario tennis games in last 17 years Rest of those don't even exist.
You are calling Mario milked when Sony has released 4 Uncharted games in last 7 years. Yes I didn't count that card game because it's very different from other games. Same with Mario. I didn't classify all Mario games in the same group. Only Mario series I think are milked are New Super Mario and Mario Party.
The only Mario milked games are NSMB series aka sidscroller series.... but other mario games are very different. Example.... Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, Galaxy Mario, Mario Party and 2D soidescroller, VERY DIFFERENT!!!!
putting a recognizable character in a game is not "milking a serie". its a move to appeal to the people who like said character.
having Solid Snake in Smash Bros Melee doesnt "milk" the MGS serie. you cant make a list of all the games Mario is in and call it "the Mario franchise", because they're different games.
If the graphics come close to the AC:R E3 CGI trailer, but in real time, I'll be very, very happy. Of course, the PC elitists will right this off, but I wonder. PC games running on current hardware only look a little better than console games on 7-8 year hardware. Surely, we'll notice a big improvement with the PS4/New Xbox.
I got 3 wishes for GG/sony that would make Kz4 the best Killzone yet. 1: High end hardware pls. (ps4) 2: I hope they take the Kz2 formula and spices it up a bit. 3: Do not want it rushed like KZ3...
I believe is a new IP from Guerrilla Games this year( they are working on Killzone 4 yes) for a 2015 release date.
I sense that but i may be wrong and it could Be the other way around, The question here is,question here is.. What will make a bigger impact KILLZONE 4 or a new IP?
well, if the rumors are true, expect those lobbies to jump towards almost 200,000 people a week now by the time it comes out since its a launch game and all.
the potential is there. problem is the storytelling and aspects of the multiplayer.
Well despite the constant negativity about the original Killzones I am excited to hear that there might be one for the PS4.So many rumors are flying it is hard to ignore any of them especially with Sony talking about the 'future of the PlayStation brand' If the PS4 isn't announced on the 20th I will be very surprised.Not disappointed.Surprised.If it is all true the it will be good to get back into a Killzone game
@ momthemeatloaf.Yeah you do know there is more to the game then MP right? There is a SP campaign. You know single player? that thing you play by yourself that people pretend doesn't matter anymore?
I like the killzone series, but the story does suck ass!! Don't get me wrong its a good challenge cause the AI is great, but its not the best script out. Mutliplayer is where its at with the Killzone series
You exaggerate just like everyone else. Killzone stories are no worse then any other FPS stories. They 'suck ass' as you put it and millions of people, still defend them. The fact that Killzone stories are worse then other FPSs stories is something drama queen fanboys say.
That's great news. So ps4 is comming this year. I just hope killzone 4 kills killzone 3 in terms of graphics frame rates and animation. And it be nice to get some city action along with some earthly environments.
I'll give K4 some credit--it 'might' look better than C3 (at times) as Killzone is more linear and heavily scripted than Crysis so can distribute resources differently. I still don't expect it though although reaching it is much more likely.
For those that disagree... Crysis 3 looks to be more open and have better physics compared to 2 (not sure if on level of original though). No Killzone game has yet to achieve the same open battlegrounds and level of physics possibilities as Crysis (while retaining visual fidelity consistently) as its a more static/scripted game world. Its great at more tightly controlled combat though because of it and I'd go so far its arguably the "best" console shooter (especially on PS). GG has thus far traded interactivity, level scale/openness, etc in exchange for better visuals in a smaller scale (much like C2 did when went multiplatform).
I expect they will still make a great looking game but just question possibility of it reaching that level, especially at launch, without making significant trade offs (consistent textures--the biggest differences with console/PC are consistant quality that isn't being covered up which from a distance is harder to discern). Its when you stand still and look around where you really notice things as bullshots and videos always have a way of hiding or neglecting to show weak points.
Not a big deal, but truth is Crysis 2 on PC was "consistently" better looking than Killzone 2/3. I know its going to get disagrees but the truth hurts and won't stop me from saying it. Doesn't make Killzone a bad looking game and it did have many things that were better (especially human animations, lens flare was cool, etc) but consistency is key and hopefully next gen developers won't need to find as many shortcuts. I'm just looking forward to seeing what next gen consoles can achieve but I'm not going to overhype and expect the unattainable either (especially at launch).
I've noticed that the best looking games have the crappiest gameplay or stories. I want more games like Telltale's The Walking Dead where it's about the characters and their interactions with each other instead of boring generic stories and killing wave after wave of useless enemies.
I'm so over graphics. I just want the fun to come back to games. Killzone 3 looked amazing, but the campaign bored me and the multiplayer was not fun.
Give me a story that pulls me in... makes me believe it... makes me care about my character... instead of just handing me a gun and say "kill everything".
i understand what you mean but mgs5 story is incredible. the whole mgs series is well balanced with gameplay, story and decent graphics. but i do know what you mean especially about kz3

nope, this generation's best console multiplayer FPS was Bad Company 2, hands down.

On topic, definitely intererested in PS4 (likely a day 1 buy) and KZ4.

This is a rumor, not an announcement BTW.
first off you bash ks4 as the launch title saying its not a killer ip..then I call you out on it you totally edit and change your comment
let him live in his own bubble
I changed my comment because I realized my joke was lame, not because of you. Thanks for writing.
Im only basing that on Japan not liking fps that much, and most of the Killzone fanbase is in Europe/US

So yeah I don't really see the problem here especialy when it's coming next gen and is probably only being made to test out the tec behind the PS4 so when GG do a NEW IP they've had experience
Halo 3, Reach and 4.
Halo Wars is an RTS made by another studio
Halo ODST was pretty much an expansion pack
Halo Anniversary was a HD remake.
Wasn't there a Killzone remake?
It's still Halo at the end of the day whether or not they were made by other studios.
"Wasn't there a Killzone remake?"
Yeah, I said it above "Killzone HD"
And we do count handheld titles because it is still a game. If it were not made for the handheld it would have been made for the console.
disclaimer: I have no affiliation either way with Sony/Microsoft. I just go about the interwebs correcting people on both sides of the stupid debate.
And for every franchise Sony "milks". They creates like 5 new IP's. LMAO.
Same can't really be said for Microsoft. Unless you count Kinect shovel-ware of course.
If you want milk look at COD.
btw- not saying those games have been bad.
Either way, I dont think that any of those franchises are being milked...yet. But they are getting close.
Edit : lol at the two above... I guess we all posted at the same time.
Milking = cod waw
Sequel = mw2 (not sure about mw3 though)

Motorstorm has 5 games in 6 years 06-12
R/C is like 14 games in 10 years 02-12. If a series is successful it will be made
Im sure KZ4 will be coming next year. This year the vita game.
So guess we'll see who got out of the pod at the end of Killzone 3
"Welcome home Sir"

it will look like Crysis 4 on ultra more likely :D
