Coming Attractions: Killzone 2

Softpedia writes: "Is this the PlayStation 3 shooter to get? When the original Killzone was released, everyone, including Sony, called it a "Halo killer." When the game was launched for the PlayStation 2, it received mixed reviews. It was certainly a good first person shooter that put the players in the combat boots of a series of International Strategic Alliance soldiers as they battled the Helghast, an offshoot of humanity who hated their cousins, on a distant planet. The game received a sequel on the PlayStation Portable, called Liberation, and fans and PlayStation 3 players are getting ready to welcome the release of Killzone 2."

PICK UP YOURS NOW SO I CAN OWN YOU ONLINE! Whooo Hooo its almost here!!!!!!! Im so stoked...

There would have to big a mighty big meteor to keep me from getting this game...

Man can not wait.. Havent loooked at most videos and have kept a rather low expectation, after all its still a game..

Everything I have seen I love, the online classes, the single player intensity.. Frigin awesome!

Hopefully it sells well because it appears thus far they did a great job.. If you have a Ps3 pick it up to support the Ps3 in general...

poeo5570d ago

neither Sony nor Guerrilla Games ever called the original Killzone a "Halo killer".

that sort of hyping was done by journalists, etc.

Bathyj5570d ago

EXACTLY.

This article done right lies.

furymasterzero5570d ago

All these Killzone 2 postings are painful... I want this game now!

Juevani5570d ago

whats so great about Halo besides the sales numbers?? which is importent for developers and companies and not us gamers.. the graphic was ok nothing mind blowin and the story fell apart, nothing new and master green is still green.. comn, appriciate Killzone 2 for the game it is and enjoy it, it has nice graphic and the gameplay is fun.. Let Halo be Halo for Halo fans and Killzone be Killzone for people who want to enjoy it.. I hate the gaming madia now adays nothing usefull comes out outta their mouths..

I_LOVE_MYSELF5570d ago

Allow me to explain!

Great campaign mode... Coop... A bunch of hidden items scattered through the campaign for you and your buddies to find adding replay value... Online competitive, Forge and the ability to take vids and snapshots...

The game has a bunch of great modes and options to tweak with... The gameplay is distinct with its own feel that can hardly be matched by any other FPS game... The world is immersive, the visuals are amongst the BEST this gen (artistically not technically)... Everything just plays out nice and smooth and the scope of the battles are epic...

Online is simply amazing... A bunch of game modes, great stat tracking, brilliant level design and weapon placement... Halo3 is a must have package for any 360 owner since its easy to play but hard to master...

^^^
There!

thor5569d ago

I'll second Gametime's comment - though I disagree with the visuals comment. The gameplay is distinct, but this doesn't make it BETTER than any other game.

What makes Halo 3 special is the sheer number of features. "A bunch of hidden items scattered through the campaign for you and your buddies to find" is not what I'm talking about, though. That's pretty standard as FPSs go. I'm talking about the co-op, the split-screen online, Forge, online features, the list goes on. Other games always seem lacking in comparison; though they might, on their own, have better individual modes. E.g. as co-op goes, we know there are much better games out. As graphics go, we know there are a lot of better games out. As single-player campaign goes, there are better games out. The whole package? There's nothing really. Maybe CoD:WaW - but it still doesn't have as many features.

But I still agree "Halo Killer" should be a banned phrase. Nothing's going to kill Halo, because Halo is Halo and there are people who will like Halo even if a far better game comes out.

Mr_Zkaar5569d ago (Edited 5569d ago )

Halo 3 is like having to suck Sh*t through a straw, you were told it would be chocolate milkshake, so you bought it. And since you have it now, you just got to make do, but it tastes nasty....

FPS's after February will be compared to KZ2, people will say is it a Killzone 2 Killer.

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.

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

Cacabunga47d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

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 😱

Michiel198947d ago

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.

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.

Phoenix76351d 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

REDGUM351d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730351d ago (Edited 351d 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.

blacktiger351d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca351d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

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.

Imalwaysright351d 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."

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

badz149722d 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.
