"Much like the MetaCritic Incident in which fanboys used the review aggregator as a battlefield, Killzone 2 is becoming a hotbed of controversy regarding review scores...
...One must wonder if this is a Gerstmann situation in reverse, in which review exclusivity - which, in my humble opinion, is an evil practice that should be abolished - and corporate pressure makes it harder for a journalist to be objective."
Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.
1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland
I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.
Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
I just know I'm going to regret posting this on N4G.
when a game is massively hyped and overrated.
it comes under massive fire. this game is definitely not perfect, but a good game non the less. not great. it doesnt add anything new to the genre. i.e. generic. graphics are good, ugly textures, blah blah blah lbh blah.
go buy the game when it comes out and shut up. if u like it, no one should influence u to not like it. if so, then ur a sheep. just like most americans
Ahah, ridiculous and pathetic story. BACKLASH? It's one idiotic magazine giving it a 7. There's another 8, 8.7 and then ALL 9-10 scores. Wait, I know, I know that you Xbots are about to point out that probably the reviewer who gave it a 7 is the ONLY person right on Earth about Killzone 2! But wait....Let me remind you some of the previous EDGE track with game scores.
7 Fallout 3
7 Mass Effect
7 God of War 1&2
7 Killzone 2
6 Resistance 2
6 Call of Duty: World at War
How's it now? EDGE has ZERO credibility. These are ALL pathetic scores. They just want to be sensationalist so people will talk about them all over the net, so whoever tries to use EDGE's review as a shield "against Killzone" is a moron and hypocrite.
killzone 2 got a 7 LOLLOOOLLOLOLOL
SE7EN OUT OF 10.uhhhhhhhhh
70%...uhhhhhhhhhh
not good enough.uhhhhhhh
oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLASPHEMY
Maybe you should take your BS into the openn zone. I don't how people like you continue to stay in the gamer zone as it's obvious you aren't into gaming, but hating. GTFUH with your BS. This game could get -50 on metacritic and I would still buy it (Preorder and paid in full), why cause I played the demo and it's perfect for a fps.
