Killzone 2 Beta Is Unbelievable, But We Have Something Better...

PSX Extreme agrees with other feedback that the Killzone 2 beta is indeed incredible, but they claim to have something even better...even though it's still Killzone 2. What could it be?

cryptic clue though 'something better than the beta but its still killzone 2?' wtf....other than 'graphics are reallife' im stumped...guesses anyone?

whos in the beta,is it really that amazing?

sunnygrg5640d ago

Jeez, I want to say something but it would be redundant to say "this game will be so awesome" every time. Japan will have a White Knight Christmas. We, probably will have a Helghan knocking on our doors. Ho Ho Ho.

Danja5640d ago

I highly doubt we would see a KZ2 level demo so early..the game is still 3 months away...

I'd rather a Public Beta..over the demo still..Replay value never ends..^.^

sonarus5640d ago

its probably to talk about the singleplayer

fusionboxer5640d ago

And believe me it's amazing. I've done a 3 page writeup on the beta so far, but I had to delete it due to the NDA agreement. It should be ok if I say that it has amazing visuals, but it's the gameplay that keeps you hooked. Think COD4 mixed with Team Fortress with some Gears thrown in. It doesn't introduce anything brand new, but it does introduce teamwork into the basic FPS formula with evolving objectives throughout a round.

Think going from team death match to search and destroy then on to assassination.

Also the guns and all just feel so real. Everything moves with weight and although it doesn't move as fast as COD4, the guns have realistic recoil and this allows other players to use cover to stay alive. The chaos may be overwhelming at first, but those who can navigate through the mess are the ones that do the best. Basically killzone 2 is a must play.

Kleptic5640d ago

I would put money on it that its some sort of co-op demo of some sort...co-op is more or less already confirmed, but it still isn't confirmed for release (assuming it would be somesort of DLC soon after launch)...

we've seen the SP...we've seen the multiplayer beta...only thing 'better' would be something with KZ2 we haven't seen...which is co-op...thats my guess anyway...

Spydiggity5640d ago

when are you people going to realize your opinion doesn't change fact? so what if you think ps3 or 360 has the better line up. sales are sales. and the numbers are the only real credibility.

also, a few ppl said ps3 has a crazy holiday line up and 360 doesn't. seems to me both had 2 big games. 360 had gears and fable. ps3 had R2 and LBP. the games are all out now, and the figures are in. which did better? i'm not even saying any of those games are better than any other. i was pretty damn disappointed in gears 2, i haven't had a chance to really dig deep into resistance. lbp looks cheesy and boring, and fable is a short fun rpg and that's about it. nothing mind blowing this year. in fact, the best game (in my opinion) was fallout 3. and everyone gets that.

point is, stop worrying about numbers. who cares if LBP only sold 800k...if your'e one of those ppl and you like the game, just be happy you get to play it. same goes for all other games. but you have to remember, your opinion does not influence reality. the reality is, gears 2 has and will outsell the competition regardless of its quality (which is debatable but only subject to OPINION).

GoldenAge5640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

(logiacally)
- A public beta for the multi-player.
- A more in-depth look at the SP mode (or demo of the SP mode)
- Online Coop (or a demo of it)
- All of the above
(in my dreams)
- Killzone 2 will be released on Dec. 21 (Why 21 not 25 or 5? It's my birthday and wouldn't KZ2 be a welcome B-day gift for me.)
- A Helghan story mode. Play the game through the eyes of the Helghan.
- They would release a bundle for a
1. 160gb PS3
2. Limited Edition KZ2 with Art book, Code for a special weapon, 2 posters, A helghan action figure, A special blu-ray disc with a "the making of Kilzone 2" and all those other stuff.
3. Two Dualshock 3 controllers
4. A Headset
5. And finally a Playstation Eye
(Since it's my dream...)
6. A demo of one of the anticipated games for the PS3 from Sony on 2009. (God of War 3, Infamous, Uncharted 2, MAG, or Gran Turismo 5)

ultimolu5640d ago

It's...unbelievable.
I'm in it.

shovelbum5640d ago

I have the beta but I have only played it about 30 minutes due to all the damn games I've bought in the past few weeks. Plus I don't want to be rushed when I finally sit down to enjoy it. I did kill a scout though right after crapping my pants when he walked by me. That was a great first experience much like walking rain with red eyes. I just finished Gears and am close to ending Fallout 3 so I do plan on putting some time in Sunday night. My PS3 has been collecting dust while the 360 has been working overtime lately. Wife is making me wait until Christmas to give me my R2 fix. That being said even after the short amount of time I played K2 I am fairly certain that this game will open some fanboy eyes but their mouths will continue to spew nonsense.

superflyguy5640d ago

I got into the beta i'll tell you how good really is.

Time Lord5640d ago

On the 4th of Dec is when the single player previews/info embargo will be lifted.

JohnnyChimpo5640d ago

Dude you just kicked off your little rant pretending not to care about the sales figures on games, but then you ended with " the reality is, gears 2 has and will outsell the competition regardless of its quality " Seems to me you just made a fanboy remark and tried to cover it up with a bunch off bullsh!t. That's weak

callahan095640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

Edit:

Doesn't the article say they already have whatever the surprise is? So I'd say it's in the form of some kind of download they were given priority access to it. Co-op beta sounds logical, to me.

StephanieBBB5640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

I feel so bad for Kontaku (but in a good way). They won't get any backpass info or previews or anything from sony and this is probably the best looking/playing game to date.

All I want to say to finish of my sentence is IN YOUR FACE KOTAKU! IN YOUR F#¤"%=/#¤ FACE!

(Sits back and enjoys life)

sumguy815639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

moron...that's not what he did at all. like he said, these are the numbers. and 2 million in a week vs less than 1 million in 3 weeks isn't something you can argue.

and don't call him the fanboy. he said right in his statement he was disappointed in gears2. the fanboy statement you made is the hypocritical one where you accuse him of being a fanboy for making a balanced statement. you can argue what you like all day, but that doesn't change the TRUTH ("reality"). and what he said is just that. gears is going to be the big Q4 seller, it already proved it. his point had nothing to do with opinion.
are there any levelheaded ps3 owners? all you seem to do is troll around on websites, say things that obviously are meant to spark controversy, then accuse other people of doing the same thing you clearly do.

Spydiggity5639d ago

agree sumguy, thanks

i don't know how many times i've said, if you're an idiot, being hypocritical will only get through to the other fanboys. I knew i'd get disagrees cuz i didn't say sony was god, but i said nothing in favor of anything. i don't care what game sells better. i don't lose sleep at night cuz the corporation i praise has low sales figures. do you know how dumb it sounds to listen to ppl cry cuz sony has low sales on a game they think is great? it's so sad. who cares at all? if you like the game, play it. who cares if your neighbors are playing gears 2 and you're playing LBP.

again... grow up. stop taking ps3 sales so seriously...you're 9...you don't want ulcers already.

P.S. i realize now that bringing up reality to a buncha fanboys who live their lives vicariously through their avatars was probably a wasted effort.

DiabloRising5639d ago

Actually Spydig, I have to agree with your prior post. People spend more time cheerleading for companies instead of enjoying games lately it seems.

Mozilla895639d ago

But I think a Helghan story mode would be pretty awesome, it's not something you get to do in a lot of video games. I can't remember where you get to play as the bad guys and good guys unless its an RTS. Other than that I think its a demo on the PSN, probably the E3 level that they've been showing everywhere since its already kind of done.

JohnnyChimpo5639d ago

Hmmmm, I've seem to offened your boyfriend here. No problems, you guys can continue to lick eachothers testicles, while balls deep in your outdated hardware. My point still stands, he contradicted himself, you can't say one thing and mean another. You can't sit there and say numbers don't matter but also say numbers are the only credibility, thats called a contradiction.

Here allow me to sum it up for you cause you seem alittle slow.

CONTRADICTION - a statement or proposition that contradicts or denies another or itself and is logically incongruous.

There, now you know the meaning of contradiction, now please re-read his post and tell me he doesn't contradict himself, now I have to go now and visually convince another 360 fan on how the PS3 is better. I've had 3 360 fans come by my pad to check out the PS3, lets just say the 360 is extremely weak for media, hahaha you guys don't even have a simple web browser? Pathetic.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

she00win995640d ago

i hope so, because resistance and lbp is not selling so great..

Danja5640d ago

R2 launched one week ago...only in North America...wat are u talking about it not selling well ?

LBP has been out for 2 weeks..and it's already sold...800k...so seems to me both games are doing just fine

5640d ago
Danja5640d ago

And those ppl were Fanboys who just loves to throw figures out there
a$$es....and over exaggerate and blow everything outta proportion...

kopicha5640d ago

well i find that LBP n R2 sell pretty ok. i know typical fanboys (from 360) would bash the sales and brag about look at GEOW2 sales and so on. yeah the numbers look big. but honestly there is something thats been overlooked as well. Sony's line up during this holiday is really too much. i dont know how this stands for other ppl out there but as for me it is. for my 360 all i am eyeing on are just Geow2 and Fable2 and thats about it. there are almost no great line ups for 360 which is why these 2 games sell that much. and i am talking purely about exclusive titles not multiplat games. while on ps3 i have to be really selective on which game i want. as there are just too many for me to choose. i cant possibly get everything as i would probably go broke since we cant forget other than exclusive games there are some great multiplat games too. even if i were to have the money for them i wouldnt have so much time to play that much game all together in the same period of time. in fact ps3 i had to sacrifice not buying certain games thou they are great and i love them mainly over such reasons that i just mentioned. so with this logic is more than enough to show those games are selling reasonably ok.

Danja5640d ago

I agree there really is alot of Software to choose fom for the PS3 and unfortunately this will affect sales of certain games....but in the long term , each game will eventually sell well...because I haven't bought Fallout 3 or Motorstorm ...but I plan to next month...

she00win995640d ago

compare to retarded games like fable 2 and other wii games, it not selling as good..

Fine but when Killzone 2 comes out there better be a snowday or a weekend cause ill be glued to that game.

It looks soo real! And it makes your eyes orgasiam. lol
But seriously i really really want this game. oh and Killzone 2 FTW!

tortella5640d ago

R2 will sell 5m-10m lifetime .

However KZ2 will shatter all records in terms of gameplay as well as graphics

Danja5640d ago

stop typing gibberish..dude

Im a major R2 supporter...and I know this game will not sell 5-19 million...more like.. 2-4 million looks more accurate...

KZ2 wont smash ne records...but it will be the best FPS out next year IMO.

tortella5640d ago

Resistance 2 has already shipped like 3m copies to retailers worldwide

In Europe R2 has already been shipped

R2 will sell 5-10m worldwide

However KZ2 will smash all records. there is tremendous hype for the game

R2 has already sold a million in US. Just wait for November NPD

Danja5640d ago

yeah the key word you used is shipped 3 million worldwide...

um RS2 sold between 300 -400k last week...so I dont know where u got that R2 sold a million in the US already ..since it's only been out for one week..

and Hype alone cannot sell KZ2 Sony will need to market the hell outta this game if they wanna even think of breaking records..

Helgast hemets , Cereals , Mountain dew , lunchboxes , Special edition KZ2 PS3 , Billboards , heavy rotation tv..and all that stuff...

ne ways..ur making me seem Anti-PS3....which im not..so i rest my case...

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.

OtterX47d ago (Edited 47d 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-ro47d ago

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

darthv7247d 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_47d 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

Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm

Profchaos47d ago (Edited 47d 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

seanpitt2347d 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!

Iceball200047d ago

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

Father__Merrin47d ago

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

InUrFoxHole47d ago

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

Marcus Fenix47d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198947d ago

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

1Victor47d ago (Edited 47d 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 😱

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

1Victor351d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar351d ago

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

jznrpg351d ago

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

badz149351d 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!

Vengeance1138351d 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 Kim351d ago

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

VersusDMC351d 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?

Vengeance1138351d ago

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

solideagle351d 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.

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.

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal351d ago

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

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."

shinoff2183723d ago

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

shinoff2183723d 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

badz149723d 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.
