Target breaks Killzone 2 street date

Jonesing to blast some Helghast and just can't wait until Friday? Eager to play what many are hailing as the definitive PS3 experience? PS3Center has received a few tips from viewers today that some Target stores have Killzone 2 on sale now. PS3Center checked the local Target and found they had the game on sale as well. No clue as to how widespread this is, so your mileage may vary. If you're waiting on the game though, might as well give your local Target a call.

Violater5540d ago

calling my target now,

Virgnia

aaaaand

no dice

STICKzophrenic5540d ago

What part of VA you in? I'm central VA.

Anytime a street date has been broken and reported on the web, none of the stores around me have broken the street date.

Aclay5540d ago (Edited 5540d ago )

After I saw this story, I drove straight to Target and I just got back.

When I walked in, there was the "Killzone 2 As advertised" sticker on the shelf, but there were no actual copies of Killzone 2 on the shelf. I asked the guy behind the counter if they had anymore copies of Killzone 2, and they DID. He went in the back and came out with about 6-7 copies of Killzone 2 in his hand.

When he went to ring me up at the cash register, the price didn't come up or anything. Then he went back and looked at the "As advertised" Tag and in pencil it was written, "On sale 2/27". Then he told me that since the computer couldn't ring it up, he couldn't sell it. And if anybody's wondering what state, it's North Carolina.

I walked out empty handed, but I came SO CLOSE!! NOOO!!!! The wait is killing me.

@STICKzophrenic : Richmond Va

Sillyace925540d ago

That's pretty cool I'm from Manassas, Virginia

butterfinger5540d ago

Richmond VA here too... Did you call all the Targets around? I was just getting ready to head to the one by Willow Lawn until I read that you called.

villevalorox5540d ago

I jsut called my target and they said they are all sold out. :( i was going to get my preorder money form gamestop and go get it. Guess not now they are all out.

Violater5540d ago

@butterfinger

I called em all and gamecrazy too
no luck

STICKzophrenic5540d ago

I'm out in Prince George, right on the Hopewell border. The closest Target to me is Colonial Heights right across from Southpark Mall.

PSN - STICKzophrenic

I'll probably be on multiplayer after I beat campaign, and beat Halo Wars.

Siesser5540d ago (Edited 5540d ago )

I'm up here in Fredericksburg, and used to live down in Chester back in middle/high school, but haven't been back since...2001. I hear the area around Southpark's blown up Stickzo? Last new thing I remember them building down there was a Shoe Carnival, lol.

And I'll be patiently preparing to pick-up my pre-ordered, pre-paid property Friday post-haste.

Of course, if I see a copy sitting around, pre-orders can always be shifted to other product

Violater5540d ago

And link up for the east coast section of the N4G clan.

STICKzophrenic5540d ago (Edited 5540d ago )

Sh*t they've built up a ton of stuff where that Shoe Carnival is.

Best Buy, Old Navy and Pier 1 are there in that strip with Target and Shoe Carnival.

They put up a Sonic, Olive Garden, Lowes, Uno's, Swader's Sports Park (mini golf, go karts, batting cages, driving range, laser tag, arcades, etc.) Crossroads Ford moved there and is HUGE...and lots of other stuff in the surrounding area.

The mall though, it's mostly jewelry stores and urban clothing haha.

*EDIT*

@Violater

I'm not familiar with the N4G forums...where's the clan section?

ProperFunked5540d ago

hey butterfinger?
is that image of you avatar from The Presets Apocalypto album, jw

hay5540d ago

Damn, I got my copy today but I'm on a business trip abroad so I'll play it on friday...

wanderofys5540d ago

Little west of Roanoke VA here.

Our Target had MGS4 early, but when I tried to buy it, the register wouldn't let the guy sell it to me. I imagine this is a similar case.

Siesser5540d ago

The site doesn't specifically have a clan function over in the forums, but there's a thread running for people to sign up for an all N4G clan here: http://forums.n4g.com/N4G-K...

It's started and organized by ReaperXL7, and in his signature is a link to the clans site as well.

And wow, can't believe how much they've built down there, although it has been a long time. Growing up, I never could have imagined the small town feel down there disappearing.

and Wanderofys, I went to Tech for undergrad. 4 best years of my life, and I definitely miss being out there. Roanoke was practically my life line, since it had the closest Best Buy :P.

Fozzy255539d ago

Only 12 hours to go in Australia!! The wait is almost unbearable!!

wanderofys5539d ago

Christiansburg totally has a Best Buy now haha

Siesser5539d ago

Dangit, I want my mileage back >_<

just kidding - cool to hear that. All they need is a chipotle on campus and everything would be perfect.

Don't tell me they have one of those now too >_>

2 days till Killzone :) I'm gonna try to knock out the campaign in one go Friday. I work over the weekend, so I won't be able to make it online until . . . Tuesday. Dangit.

y0haN5539d ago

More than just Target.. I have it and I'm from the UK, lol.

BlkFrnkWht5539d ago

I'm in Petersburg, VA, did anyone check the target in colonial heights? If not I guess I'm going to be getting my killing on Friday night.

CoolNumber95539d ago

I live not to far from Christansburg, VA and called last night but no game.

Eiffel5539d ago (Edited 5539d ago )

Yorktown,Virginia.

...

Nope..Could try the one in Norfolk.

Nonsense 4 Gamers5539d ago

I'm supposed to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday but I told my boss I'm going out of town so I got those 3 days off :D

BrianC62345539d ago

I want to know why we're being forced to wait until Friday for this game. Games aren't released on Fridays, they're shipped on Monday and out on Tuesday or Wednesday. This game should be out right now. Why did you do this to us Sony?

Siesser5539d ago

Think of it as getting the game 4 days early, rather than March 3rd.

Best FPS this gen so far.

70 Euros? Jesus fck. I paid £35 for the collector's edition (and am playing it now).

krouse935540d ago

I need this now! But i already preordered at gamestop!!!!!!!CAN"T WAIT!

donalbane5539d ago

So, just tell Gamestop that you want to either A) transfer your down payment to another game, or B) would like a refund. Either way, pre-orders don't lock you in or anything. I expect many, many people aren't going to buy the game at Gamestop and just pre-ordered there to get that demo.

Blackcanary5540d ago (Edited 5540d ago )

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.

OtterX49d ago (Edited 49d 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

Cacabunga49d ago

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

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 😱

Michiel198949d 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.

1Victor353d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar353d 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

REDGUM353d ago

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

badz149724d 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.
