Probably won't get a new Killzone until PS5 launches

Xerneas2319d ago (Edited 2319d ago )

Horizon is GG's IP now so maybe never unless fans demand it's return.

mafiahajeri2319d ago

What kinda BS is that? Guerilla Cambridge could easily make an amazing killzone game. The vita game was really good, considering the hardware.

Fishy Fingers2319d ago

Might be difficult with the studio closing earlier in the year.

UltraNova2318d ago

I need a Killzone 2 remaster...

ShadowWolf7122318d ago

GG already said they're not done with Killzone.

@mafiahajeri

Guerilla Cambridge was dissolved a while back so I doubt it.

bouzebbal2318d ago

Noôoooooo
I love to go back to them once in a while. 2 of my best last gen games

Weeblordbad2318d ago

@mafiahajeri

If they still existed, sure.

Who cares? The last one was crap!

Sony is shutting down their PS3 games franchise by franchise.

Outside_ofthe_Box2319d ago

True, they're never gonna top KZ2's multiplayer so any new KZ that comes out, I'm not going to care about to be honest.

UCForce2319d ago (Edited 2319d ago )

Even their games like Killzone 3 and Killzone Shadow Fall weren’t the best like KZ2 was, but they were good enough. Also, GG love Killzone series but a lot of people like myself including GG are agreed that we need to do something new to refresh ourselves. GG have evolved for good reason. Fun fact though, the original Horizon Prototype was going to have Co op, but it was completely scratched.

moegooner882319d ago

You cared enough to make a comment.

Youre not making any sense, must be from all that deep throat xD

Halo killed itself. Killzone didn’t need to lift a finger.

scofios2318d ago

Coinork

Halo doesn't need a killer , it killed it self .

rocketpanda2318d ago

You expect them to keep the servers running for PS3 games when they don't have the player base still playing it. I'm surprised the online is actually still running after all these years.

1Victor2318d ago

@deep dumb companies close servers for old games all the time but I can name 2 PS3 games that Sony can never shutdown and they do war and fly to the star like a hawk

NecrumOddBoy2319d ago

Agreed, that TOP 1% Trophy was one of my favorites. So many good memories playing online.

Outside_ofthe_Box2319d ago

They should remake it for the PS4

-Foxtrot2319d ago

One of those games which proved less is more and that it should be about skill, not what gimmicks you've unlocked.

Krangs_Uncle2319d ago

Clan matches were the best MP experiences I've ever had to be honest - there were some absolute beasts out there.

One of the only good MP modes Sony has had in a looong time.

isa_scout2318d ago (Edited 2318d ago )

Uhmm you nver play resistance,Uncharted or the Last of Us MP?The Last of Us MP was like top 5 best MP I've ever played, and I've played a crap ton of MP games.

DialgaMarine2318d ago

MAG, Warhawk, And Starhawk were all amazing multiplayer experiences as well.

showtimefolks2318d ago

Along with 8 player Co op in resistance 2

MoonConquistador2318d ago

Or 256 player's on MAG. The game had it's issues but it was fantastic when people worked together

blackblades2318d ago

That mp was crazy, definitely when they put out a spawn point in the middle of a battle room.

G1L2318d ago

Absolutely! Those trophies weren't easy but so rewarding to get em! Mercenary still gives me those vibes :D

Now Killzone: Mercenary & Killzone: Shadow Fall will be the only way to play multiplayer in the series

UCForce2319d ago

Hey, Killzone Mercenary was great.

InTheZoneAC2318d ago

People still play shadow fall. I logged in about 6 months ago for a day and enjoyed it. So refreshing playing a mp game without aim assist

Jinger2318d ago

Isn't shadow fall's MP pretty much dead? Plus it is crap compared to KZ2

FunAndGun2318d ago

Please tell me how much Shadow Fall multiplayer game time you have played?

You obviously know nothing about it by your comments.

Jinger2318d ago

@FunAndGun

Admittedly not a ton because when I got on a bit late after launch it didn't seem active, took me a while to find matches, not all matches were filled etc. So i figured it was pretty much dead. Plus getting on late sucked because all the OP powers you can get once you level up. Didn't seem like an even playing field.

Gotta hook up the PS3 and play KZ2 MP one last time before then.

It had a nice run.

Kratos_Kart20072318d ago

Is it still alive online? If it is I'm going to play it

SonyStyled2318d ago

I played a about 2 months ago. Mostly 24/7 blood gracht. There were a few Solomon market games too

Outside_ofthe_Box2318d ago

Last I played it was two years ago so I don't know. But I'm sure with this news a lot of people like myself are going to start playing it again before it shuts down.

LonDonE2318d ago

Agreed, what about the bot mode? I used to love playing against them, to me kz2 had some of the best bots.
I suppose that too will be gone since it uses the servers.

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.

OtterX50d ago (Edited 50d 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-ro49d ago

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

darthv7249d 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_49d ago

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

Profchaos49d ago (Edited 49d 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

seanpitt2349d 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!

Iceball200049d ago

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

Father__Merrin49d ago

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

InUrFoxHole49d ago

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

Marcus Fenix49d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198949d ago

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

1Victor49d ago (Edited 49d 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 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor354d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar354d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg353d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149353d ago

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!

Vengeance1138353d ago

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

Shane Kim353d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC353d ago

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?

Vengeance1138353d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle353d ago

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.

Phoenix76353d ago

@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

thesoftware730353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

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.

blacktiger353d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca353d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal353d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright353d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

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."

shinoff2183725d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183725d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149725d ago

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.
