New Killzone 2 Info

Some new info of Killzone 2 from Power Unlimited magazine.

3. Will Killzone 2 hit stores in September?

Expectations for the PlayStation 3 premier shooter are high, and Sony aims to release Killzone 2 during September. In an upcoming GamePro issue, sources close to Sony claim that development on Killzone 2 is going extremely well and the game should hit stores in September right before the holiday season. One GamePro editor wrote, that in comparison with Halo 3 and other shooters on both the 360 and PS3, Killzone 2 will blow away any console shooter to date. We will be curious to see how this develops - stay tuned. (Killzone 2, PS3)

Before you all start!!
Read the article careefully, THESE ARE NOT STATEMENTS MADE BY GUERRILLA GAMES OR SONY.
With that said Flame On.
Siesser  +   2778d ago
lol, I was about to say the same thing: "A GamePro editor said."
Crazyglues  +   2778d ago
I agree 100%
and I say Flame On!!! ....LoL

Let the games begin... If it really does come out in September just think how amazing that would be.

I mean your gonna really have to bring your A game to even put a dent in Master Chef's Armor...

But if Killzone2 can really knock my shoes off at E3 then I will say with the gaming public that Killzone2 has, GAINED THE LEAD!!! ..LoL

I wish people would just let well enough ALONE!

WHY must we(gaming industry) keep comparing this franchise to HALO?

Killzone is a different breed of FPS, let it GO!

We havent even seen halo single player yet or the fnished multi-player touches yet...oh and @mp its bc Halo is top when it comes to FPS on console it sets the standard they do it with pretty much most FPS'...it was the first really successful FPS on console with a control scheme that worked.
Amplifier  +   2778d ago
Still it's pointless, because Halo has a MUCH bigger following, Killzone doesn't have the following.

I just can't stand when people compare apples to oranges, it's a matter of preference nothing more.

golden eye made a better fps transition on the consoles, cuz that was one of the first! and while this may not count Socom is way better then halo in multi player, the only reason it didnt take off is cuz the network for ps2 sucked.

I would think
if it was coming in september they would have had an official release date by now.

Wronge, there are plenty of games out this year from Sony's inhouse that you haven't heard official releas dates for...

On another note killzone looks amazing :)

They Should
realese it after or before halo 3 because they would sell so much more if they did, halo 3 is without a dought going to put out a huge marketing campain, when halo 2 came out it was even on the six o clock news.

Bah, It can look as pretty as it wants.
If it plays like complete crap, as in Killzone 1, then this is a no-go for me.

I hope they using the PS3 to their advantage, I can't wait to find out if they have.
THAMMER1  +   2778d ago
Sept. Hmm
It would be nice to see them release this game next to halo 3. I mean it stands a chance. Just about 4 million PS3 sold, a little bit over 4 million preorders for Halo 3 alone. Killzone could do some decent numbers if every PS3 owner out here buys a copy.

With the fall lineup PS3 sales could double. And with the so far limited games, sales would get huge for big titles. Just look at RFOM. 2 Million sold on 3.5million systems. RFOM was good but no where near what we will see the fall.

Halo is not the big system seller like Gear of War was. Most of the Halo fans already own a 360.

not true
the bulk of the people I know are waiting for either a price drop or halo 3 to buy a 360.

KILLZONE BABY...............
I am not going to believe anyone from gamepro or any sony reps, they're bias, gamepro i like when they talk up the ps3 but guy haven't even seen halo3 single player yet and he's mouthing like he's seen more than the beta, I am not going to compare halo3 beta to killzone you're just dumb if you do that......When I get killzone I will judge it for myself, becuase the first one sucked big time...... and gamepro and sony bigged that one up to
Mattey  +   2777d ago
agreed
i was so excited for the first one cuz they were calling it the halo killer and such, and all my friends had an xbox and were gettin halo 2 and all i had was a ps2 but the then the game turned out to be very average
Marceles  +   2778d ago

Killzone 2 in september? No Way! =)
They only planning to go MP beta this year.
So unless there will be some MP beta in august, it`s no way they are going to release game by september.
But, it`s very possible of starting Killzone 2 MP beta this september. =))

p.s.anyone to help return my 4th bubble back? thnx. =)

p.p.s. Done. =))

Yeah, your totally right. September my @ss... I'm all for the game and stuff but that is being a little too optimistic... i say march 08 at earliest. I would be super surprised if it hits shelves in september (if it does it would make a nice b-day present for me on the 1st of october, lol) I expect beta to start around then. The only way they can release it by then is to have a very fast public beta or they are having a closed private one or something

p.s. to your p.s. It would be nice to return the favor :)
Premonition  +   2778d ago
Who knows
Maybe that 21/2 hour showing of killzone 2 to the press might have info on the beta, might be August who knows :)
SimmoUK  +   2778d ago
Halo 3 is far below what I expected, it really is, this was Microsoft's big gun (Microsoft and Nintendo's inhouse still don't add up to Sony's FACT, For the people that don't know Sony has 3x more games studios than it's competitors, Sony has the biggest inhouse exclusives in the long run by a mile) I was expecting Halo 3 to come out later from Microsoft and keep everybody interested, but they've showed up with Bungie with nothing special, anyone who isn't obsessed by Halo is still wondering what all the fuss is about... I gave Microsoft more credit than they were due...

Nintendo is the biggest game studio in Japan
Not Sony. You can google it. In fact, Sony is not even in the top 5 in Japan. The largest 5 game developers in Japan are (in descending order): Nintendo, Sega, Namco Bandai, Konami, and Square Enix -- that's counting all the studios in their holdings. Sony is not one of the "Big 5".

How can people
say this game looks so great when no one has seen it. This is all crap. I have not seen one screenshot or trailer of what this game actually looks like.

It's all just hype and it is pretty pathetic. Crysis is the best looking FPS I have ever seen. I have to highly doubt that the PS3 will surpass a $5000 dollar gaming PC in the graphics department.

If you believe otherwise you are nothing but a sad marketing tool.

if this is true september could kick some major a$$ for the playstation brand. Killzone 2, warhawk, and heavenly sword are all system movers... could be very good.
Sangheili85  +   2778d ago
idk
i get a feeling like its another sony hype game. I know sony didn't say it but sometimes you might feel they had something to do with it. I think it will look great maybe better then halo3 maybe no. I don't know and you don't either they haven't shown much of H3 single player and they said it looks alot better. I do not believe its going to look like the CGI trailer. But it might look really good i mean for all the money Sony has dumped into it i would hope so.
TheExecutive  +   2778d ago
well i know that halo3 is only in a beta phase but from what I have seen of it, it looks, well not so good. When it comes to multiplayer I would take warhawk in a second. It looks better and has more diverse actions than Halo. But you want to talk about hyping a game? Halo is the most hyped game i have ever seen.

KZ2 will look better than halo3, i will bet anyone on that. Now whether it plays as good is a different story. For that we will have to wait for E3
Sangheili85  +   2778d ago
18.1
Oh i think your probably be right. But i also keep my judgements down until i see H3 singleplayer game play i don't know they said it is going to look way batter then MP and if we say Beta MP which looked ok not great but not horrible i think bungie might pull through but i also agree KZ2 might be a awesome looking game but from what i played of the first one they got to pull through on those game play features... thats all.
TheExecutive  +   2778d ago
i guess what i dont get is why MP would look way worse than the single player? Anyway, how many people are going to be able to play on H3 multiplayer, anyone know?
Hayabusa 117  +   2778d ago
You haven't played a Ubisoft online game then. GRAW looked awesome single player, but the multiplayer look liked a sh|tty PS2 game. Quake 4 was also like that. There are plenty of games.

Halo however has always had it's multiplayer looking exactly like it's single player, which is why I'm surprised they're saying the single player will look better. Perhaps they're just referring to the "atmoshperic" effects, but we'll have to wait and see. One things for sure: the beta looked nothing like the announcement trailer. Regardless, the game looks good ENOUGH and it's still my most anticipated game for the year.

There's not enough info on Killzone to know if it's good
From everything I've seen so far, I would say BIOSHOCK, not Halo 3 or Killzone 2, will be the best next-gen FPS.
FFVIIFan  +   2778d ago
I'll be getting Killzone 2 and Halo 3.
So there is no need for me to worry which is better. Both will probable end up being amazing.
crck  +   2778d ago
I'll be happy if Killzone just looks better then Haze. That game
already looks amazing. As for Halo 3 I'm sure the single player will look fine. They took a giant beating over the beta and I'm sure Papa Bill has been cracking the whip at his poor slaves at Bungie to get it to look better.
funkysolo  +   2778d ago
Let the flaming begin 5-4-3-2-1
I can't wait to see Killzone2, I like the art style seems different from other shooters. I never played Killzone1 but alot of my friends do like it and were impress with the story. I think now that sony took over and is providing support it should turn out to be an awsome game. One think is for sure Sony does have what it take to make a game and noone can argue with that.
Apocalypse Shadow  +   2778d ago
i hope they are successful at wowing the public.
it will push more devs to try and out do guerilla and sony.

so far call of duty,haze and crysis are the front runners for pushing the envelope.

i would have to see the issue in question,but ndas would prevent someone from saying something like that.

but killzone in september seems unlikely.unless sony is returning the favor when microsoft said ps3 would run right into halo3 release.but gears of war received that honor.

E3 can't get here soon enough.
Maddens Raiders  +   2778d ago
So...... -
did mangobear clip this and translate it from "power unlimited" (Dutch mag)? Or did he make up the excerpt and the translation? I mean there's no way they are going to release the beta @ E3 are they???? Now I'm totally confused... (^^^^^)?????

3.Killzone 2 al in september in de winkels?

Een game waar velen hoge verwachtingen van hebben is Killzone 2 voor de Playstation 3. Het is al een flinke tijd stil geweest omtrent deze titel, maar wellicht ligt de game al in september in de winkels.

Het Amerikaanse magazine GamePro weet namelijk te melden dat de ontwikkeling van de game al verder gevorderd is dan we denken. De game zal misschien zelfs al in september in de winkelschappen te vinden zijn, ongeveer gelijktijdig met de release van Halo 3. Dat zou een spannende strijd kunnen opleveren. We zijn benieuwd.

translation (rough)

WillKillzone 2 hit stores in September? Expectations for thePlaystation 3 premier shooter are high, andSony aims to release killzone 2 during september. In an upcoming gamepro issue, sources close tosony claim that development on killzone 2 is going extremely well and the game should hit stores in september right before the holiday season. One gamepro editor wrote, that in comparison with Halo 3 and other shooters on boththe 360 and ps3, killzone 2 will blow awayany console shooter to date. We will becurious to see how this develops- stay tuned.

From dutch gaming magazine, "power unlimited" --

Is this real? dare I say...Mart can you help? (I know your out there)

Raptors  +   2778d ago
I dunno, to me things just don't add up. KZ 2 i'm sure will look good, I just hope that its "fun" factor is high. As for Halo 3, It makes no sense that Bungie shows the multiplayer beta and absolutely nothing from the campaign and take the level of criticism they took about the look of the beta with virtually no responses. Bungie has something up their sleeve and i think they'll unveil it at E3. If you read the bungie weekly updates, they damn near are floored by the way the game is looking. And Bungie doesnt strike me to lie or exaggerate since Ive heard them in the past praise some sony games and they've always been very straight forward. My prediction is (Don't kill me, its just my guess) that the "starry night" commercial is going to give you an indication on how the game will look. Obviously i know its CG, however, i think it won't be that far off....

the comerial was CGI and no halo3 can not match the graphics in the trailer
Halo3 SP will probably look more polish than the beta, don't being expecting Halo3 to break any graphical acheivements. Xbots will now say that it's all about the gameplay and I will say how come we can't have both like gears of war.

Halo 3 will not look like the Starry night CG ad...
Halo 3 will actually look like the realtime announcement trailer shown at last years E3 press confrence.

Yeah, uh not sure about this either. I think Seb Downie practically flat out said KZ will not release in 2007..I could be wrong though? Also, what with several sites pegging the release as February 2008, this almost seems like this might be outdated info? But, hey if its true, and the game is actually ready to go in September..I'm all for it!

Obviously it wont be able to match the CGI trailer, I stated that in my original post. Remember Motorstorm was the same way, it didnt match the original trailer shown but it was close and the game ended up looking beautiful. But really, I dont care if the game doesn't floor anyone. Halo for me has always been the sweet sweet sweet feeling of rolling up behind someone and gun butting them for a kill or seeing them run by and sniping them for an instant kill. If KZ2 looks better and even plays better, more power to Sony. All the more reason for me to buy a ps3. Im going to be part of the neutral group and buy both Halo and Killzone and enjoy what both games and systems have to offer.
