Killzone twitter account teasing something?

It seems Official Killzone twitter account is up to something

Abash3367d ago

Awesome, I'm up for some more Killzone

JoGam3367d ago

It has Valor in his eyes. What can it be?

morganfell3367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

That could also be the Roman Numeral Five. Not including Liberation on the PSP and Mercenary on the Vita, there have been Four main Killzone titles to date. The next would be Five.

Then again they could be hinting that Shadow Fall or Mercenary will be free to Plus members in March.

@Emrage,

I am not sure it would be that either but the fact is the title has been out for some time now. It isn't as if it was released yesterday. I would prefer it to be a new title of some type but that Helghast is a model from Shadow Fall.

Emrage3367d ago

@morganfell

I don't think Shadow Fall will be free in march because like 3 million people bought it and thats a lot and that will result in 3 million people dissapointent i except knack to be free.

PoSTedUP3367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

mercs2!! mercs was the best KZ online MP to date imo. hell one of my fav online FPS next to cod4 and halo2. its undeniably fun and awesome/ addicting.

would be cool for PS4 but i think mercs2 would be for vita, mercs1 has been at the top of the most DLed list for like 2 years now so im sure they made out well with sales. i wouldnt doubt it has a higher attachment rate on vita than ps4 considering ps4 has a lot more fps to choose from and KZmercs is the best looking and playing game avalible on the vita.

if anything, i hope its more DLC for KZmercs, i can use some more guns and stuffs :p.

Come on people, get with the program...it's the Killzone Collection, something that everyone should be used to by now.

OmegaShen3367d ago

Just want to point out that Shadow Fall is free for Japanese Plus members.

UltraNova3366d ago

I would love to play killzone 2 in 1080p 60fps and higher quality assets!

Mega243367d ago

Would be awesome to play as a Helghan protagonist, Maybe as Maya Visari. A Killzone that shows Helghans fighting against their government with the aid of the VSA maybe?

morganfell3367d ago

I have always hoped for a Helghast pure campaign. Not one of these like the situation with Echo or the earlier one with Colonel Hakha where they are sympathetic to Vekta. But one where we see Helghast as wrongly exiled people and your goal is to wholly support the war effort against Vekta.

Be the bad guy. Not a Helghast that suddenly grows a conscience because you realize the leaders of Helghan are up to no good, but instead be the bad guy.

Before Shadow Fall was announced I was hoping that the lead character would be Visari's daughter. Not the one we saw in Shadow Fall but instead a brutal and relentless strike team leader returning from combat in the polar regions to avenge her father's death.

subtenko3366d ago

Yea they still have to do that before anything. But good gosh PLEASEEE can we get a good writter with some GOOD scripting and a story that makes you go WOOOH WTF, CRAZY, this is GENIUS! Just invest in it GG pleasssse.

We need some great gameplay too tho, we want both!

MrSec843367d ago

Me too, Killzone is awesome!
I hope Guerrilla Cambridge are making a KZ Mercenary game for PS4, like Media Molecule are doing Tearaway Unfolded from the vita release.

Whether it's an outright sequel, or a remake, expanded retelling of the vita game, with an evolution from the assets used in Shadow Fall.

Shadow Fall was quality, it's a highly underrated game IMO.

MrSec843367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

Whatever the next Killzone is, it's likely coming this year, ever since KZ2 there has been a Killzone game released every 2 years.

On PS3 KZ was a Feb release, Shadow Fall came out in November, so it seems likely that whatever the next KZ game is, it will be out November this year.

Personally I hope it's a Mercenary game, for PS4, I think that would be awesome.
Sony could do with an exclusive FPS in their line-up this year.

Bring on the AAA, Guerrilla Cambridge Killzone PS4 release I say!

Dawknight3163367d ago

Could be called Killzone 5. If you look in the Helgasts eyes you see V's.

mercenary 2 would be so rad.
would not mind another ps4 title either.

JMaine5183367d ago

Hopefully it's Killzone Mercenary 2 for the Vita!

360ICE3367d ago

Wow, it sure seems that way. I want that mecha-dinosaur game, though.

Outthink_The_Room3367d ago

I'd say this E3. New IPs need more time to breath at first because you're describing a new universe, new characters, new storylines, potentially new combat mechanics..etc.

Sequels are built on foundations and can be shown, then released within a calender year. But new IPs require alot of build up, so I hope they bring it to E3 this year, make sure it gets the exposure it needs.

MrSec843367d ago

@Outthink_The_Room: Technically Knack and Driveclub were new IPs, they were announced in Feb 2013 and while Driveclub was pushed back, it was initially planned to launch within 2013.

Bloodborne was only announced at last year's E3, that's a new IP and it's coming out 9 months after it's announcement, so Horizon could be officially announced at Sony's Event on Friday, or their GDC presentation.

On Friday Sony are announcing a new Playstation initiative, while it's widely believed to be a unification of media streaming features, like rolling TV/Movies, Music and Game Streaming into a Playstation focused service, that could require some hefty investment in dedicated servers.

With Guerrilla Game's "Codename Horizon" title rumored to be a huge open world RPG, with some potentially big online components, maybe this will be Sony's big game to launch the service globally on Playstation by the end of the year.

By the sounds of it Horizon has a pretty distinct kind of world and lead character, the concept has been very well received by most people that have heard about it, so I think it would be a pretty easy sell for Sony inside of a year.

With the kind of revenue and profits that streaming is going to generate in the future a huge network of Dedicated Servers would be fully justified and expanding PS Now would also make sense as an investment for Sony.

Either way new IPs can definitely be announced mere months from release, rather than years, provided the game is marketed enough and as a publisher you get the ideas surrounding it across to the target audience and build big enough hype sales can be had.

Personally I think announcing a game and then leaving it too long before release can kill hype of a new IP pretty easily.
As a publisher if you wait until the game's at least in Beta before announcing it, the you show enough gameplay, you control the marketing better, you can hit the public with hype and not give them time to doubt the title.

Either it's announced at one of the close events and it releases this year or it's a big surprise at Sony's E3 and it launches in the 1st half of 2016, alongside God of War, with GOW being a March release (that seems to be GOW's month for releasing).

It's possible Sony will hold it back until Fall 2016. GT7 should hopefully be this year, probably December, maybe that and Horizon will be officially unveiled on Friday and Sony uses them as a way to show off the new dedicated servers on Playstation.

DeadlyFire3367d ago

Perhaps both will come. Horizon likely will take longer to develop. As all RPGs should anyway. :)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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.

OtterX53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

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!!

Rude-ro53d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7253d ago

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.

_SilverHawk_53d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Profchaos53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

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

seanpitt2353d ago

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!

Iceball200053d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin53d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole53d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix53d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198953d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

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 😱

Killzone wasn’t a Halo killer, but a PS5 remake could come close

The first Killzone game never met lofty expectations of dethroning Xbox’s Halo, but if any game needs a PS5 remake, this is the one.

Vits103d ago

I like Halo, but I don't think there is any need for a 'Halo Killer' at this point. If anything, the franchise is slowly undermining itself by making some of the dumbest mistakes possible. Infinite has finally reached a good point in terms of multiplayer, but it took an extra 2 years to get there. Meanwhile, the single-player experience is fine but rather mediocre when compared to the franchise peak.

That said, I would like to see the Killzone franchise back, if anything, to offer more variety to the PS5 exclusive catalog.

_SilverHawk_103d ago

sony should remaster all killzone games and bring back killzone multiplayer that is very similar to the style of killzone 2 multiplayer.

Cacabunga102d ago

Halo killed itself after Halo Reach.
Killzone went a little down in quality with SF on PS4 and I wish they kept them coming..

InUrFoxHole103d ago

??? Halo is doing great right now. I wouldn't mind seeing a kz2 mp rebirth

Cacabunga102d ago

Spawn grenade tactician class my favorite..

darthv72103d ago

I'd love a killzone trilogy, fully remastered on a single disc like they did with Uncharted. Maybe they could make it the full killzone saga including PSP and Vita games converted to console.

REDGUM103d ago

Yes please. Put me down for a copy, price irrelevant too. Loved allow those games in the franchise :)

Chocoburger103d ago

I've never liked the idea of a 'franchise killer', why can't both thrive, without one killing off the other? Its such a childish mentality.

That being said, if there ever was a true 'Halo killer', then it would have to be 343 Studios, and the Xbox division. They're doing a fine job killing off their own IP, apparently.

Profchaos103d ago

Cause console wars mostly drove the halo v killzone thing

Eonjay103d ago

And media co.panies like IGN drove the console wars for clicks.

Profchaos102d ago

@eonjay
Yeah and I still cringe super hard when IGN runs their next gen console watch segment 3 years into the consoles lifecycle we are approaching midgen likely by December and they are out there milking clicks like it's mid 2020 and were starved for information

ModsDoBetter103d ago

Halo doesn't need to be killed, they've done that themselves. It's a shell of its former self.

Zeref103d ago

And yet Halo is still here. Where is Killzone? Resistance? Haze? All the supposed "Halo Killers" are dead franchises 😂

DarXyde103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

"Dead" really isn't the right word for any of these franchises (except Haze). You're also calling these games dead for different reasons. oIMyersIo is saying a Halo is dead because it is not what it used to be and is saying it has gotten much worse. You are saying those franchises faded into obscurity and no one cares. I also find it funny that your first reaction is to name PlayStation franchises because you perceived their comment as a slight against Xbox. I hope you're at the very least part of their ambassador program...

Anyone that sees Killzone as dead is pretty myopic. A decade since their last Killzone, but they themselves have developed two full games since Shadow Fall. That's not many in context at all.

Resistance is a bit less clear. Insomniac is pretty tied up at the moment. Including all of their games on all platforms and ignoring Spider-Man Remastered, we're looking at 23 games since Resistance 3. That's alarmingly prolific and still no R4. My guess? In the modern era, a new Resistance is probably going to have to be a live service and Insomniac is not that studio.

I don't think it's dead though. Not at all.

Gaming4Life1981103d ago

Halo infinite is still the best exclusive fps and is doing great but you think it's dead lol. Its also one of the top fps games out here so i dont get where your coming from. Just because you don't play it does not mean it's dead or dying.

I liked killzone 1 & 2 and I think Sony should bring it back along with resistance cause they are in need of more variety in their first party lineup. Sony & MS are sitting on some great franchises that need a revival.

ModsDoBetter102d ago

"Just because you don't play it"

And there your argument was derailed.
Through making such an assumption, you have only served to show that your response is that of a fanboy and any criticism of your beloved franchises is met with speculation in order to downplay any counter argument.

As a matter of fact, as many in team blue on this site will tell you, I often do defend Xbox just as much as I defend PS, so for you to make such a silly comment is laughable.

I have played plenty of Halo: Infinite - on Series S, Series X and PC via Steam. To say the game comes anywhere near the franchise greats such as Combat Evolved and Halo 2 is delusional. The franchise is a shell of its former self and that is a FACT.

It absolutely isn't the best fps exclusive but at this point we're arguing over preferences which is pointlessly subjective.

Where I do agree is that a Resistance comeback would be great for Sony.

DrDoomer103d ago

I'd take Killzone and Resistance over Halo any day.

Killzone After a Decade in Hibernation

It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.

Obscure_Observer167d ago

Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.

Vengeance1138167d ago

lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.

Cacabunga167d ago

With the downfall of COD and BF, Killzone def. has a chance to make a groundbreaking comeback

Notellin166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

What a low-functioning reply here typical of the fanboy N4G community.

Rimeskeem167d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.

I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.

1Victor166d ago

@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”

Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.

ChasterMies166d ago

“Sadly”?

The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.

Shane Kim166d ago

True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.

Mr_cheese166d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto166d ago

And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.

I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.

Flawlessmic167d ago

Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.

Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.

blackbeld167d ago

To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.

Rynxie166d ago

And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.

Lightning77167d ago

I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.

Sharky231166d ago

@Lightning77

I think WarHawk would have been a great Live service game.

thorstein167d ago

Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.

I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.
