Great. I can't wait for this. Hopefully they release the original Killzone as a PS2 classic. Some people might not want to buy the entire package.

i gave you a thumbs up for that funny troll comment, no 360 fan can ever accuse another company of milking/ rehashing with such confidence.

On the topic, it would be nice if the original had the graphics of number 2.
Killzone 1 actually had some great level design,imo the problem the game had was the hardware limitations of the ps2 held it back from what could have a been a solid shooter. (numerous framerate issues, bugs,pop in texture, lack of enemies on screen etc;) It was a pretty decent game overall, not as bad as media outlets made it out to be.

hulk_bash19874652d ago (Edited 4652d ago )

Well at least we know why they pulled the PSN release of Killzone a couple of months back. Im pretty sure they'll release each game as an individual download too though, as I already have both killzone 2 and 3.

GribbleGrunger4653d ago

I wonder what they're going to do about the online? are the servers still running for the original Killzone?

Neoprime4652d ago

No they shut em down, but you have bots, remmber PS2 Classics games don't have online play.

Lazarus12094652d ago

But remember, online multiplayer is enabled for another Sony Collection - The Ratchet and Clank Collection has online multiplayer for Up Your Arsenal.

If this is a similar collection (like inFAMOUS, God of War and the aforementioned Ratchet and Clank) then it is totally feasible that online would be available, though admittedly unlikely since Killzone 3 is still online.

jerethdagryphon4652d ago

@lazarus/

if up your arsnal didnt have mp it wouldnt sell that was its sellign point

Reverent4652d ago

First of all, your spelling/grammar is atrocious. Second; You're wrong. A classic game doesn't need multiplayer access to warrant a sale. Fans of an older game can easily justify purchasing said game without having to include multiplayer features... And third; why are you replying to Chapulin when you're talking to Lazarus? It would make much more sense to have written your comment under Neoprime's so it would actually appear that you were trying to debate with Lazarus. This makes your comment appear extremely off topic.

gijsbrecht4653d ago

Finally KZ1 in an HD version. I do hope it will be sold seperately as well, though.

GribbleGrunger4653d ago

I thought this was the PS3 trilogy?

BlueTemplar4652d ago

theres only been two released on ps3 so far - so presumably the third game in this trilogy will be a hd remake of KZ1

guitarded774652d ago

I don't think it's an HD remake, but a PS2 Classic. Essentially a downloadable version of the PS2 version which will play on the PS3.

hkgamer4652d ago

It's probably going to be a very lazy HD remake. with trophies etc... well that is better than having just a PS2 classic I guess.

Sevir4652d ago (Edited 4652d ago )

I highly doubt it'll be lazy, in 2011 of the fall someone discovered a filling for Killzone HD on the ESRB website. What's more Sony's HD remakes are ground up remasters of the franchise, instead of hi-resolution blow ups and screen stretching like Capcom's endeavors with Resident evil and DMC collections. This is why Sony's PS2 remasters have Stereoscopic 3D as well and given how atmospheric the first Killzone was I would play it in HD/3D in a heart beat with all the added refinements of a 60fps engine update and the smoothness of HD to go along with it, something all the PS2 remakes from Sony have enjoyed.

MySwordIsHeavenly4652d ago

I'm sorry, but DMC HD actually looked pretty darn good. I don't understand why everyone thought it looked bad.

abzdine4652d ago

i already own KZ2 and KZ3.
KZ3 was a disappointment to me because the multiplayer isnt as brilliant as KZ2's. I'm hoping for a KZ remake ot HD remaster at least.

r214652d ago

Cant talk about the MP parts but SP wise, pacing and VA goes to KZ3 while KZ2's campaign was way harder.

abzdine4652d ago

KZ2's SP was more exciting than KZ3's. I'm struggling to finish the SP of KZ3 in Veteran it's way too boring to play. Move implementation is the best thing about this game.

I was really hoping for a Move patch for KZ2, my favorite FPS and online experience ever.

Outside_ofthe_Box4652d ago

KZ2's MP was definitely better than KZ3's. What a disappointment KZ3 was.

abzdine4652d ago

I don't understand those who disagree at least say why. I never understood why Guerrilla Warfare has some special maps and they are only for bodycount.'

But the worst about the kz3 MP is that I can't choose to join the game I want cause it's so frustrating to join a game with only 2players.

Also the spawn system is extremely stupid.KZ3 should have been kz2 it's a shame.

vickers5004652d ago (Edited 4652d ago )

@abzdine

Spawn grenades ruined KZ2 multiplayer for me. It made the whole "early dying" aspect of shooters even worse than Call of Duty. The fact that you could place them anywhere made spawn camping very prevalent and took out any opportunity for skill. Out of the issues of KZ3 that I hear people complain about, I'm very surprised to hear someone complain about the spawning in KZ3, when KZ2 had, in my opinion, the worst spawn problem in any game I've ever played.

And I never had an issue with those other 2 things you mentioned. Every time I tried to join a game, there were plenty of people playing.

Also the controls in Killzone 3 were far better.

That's just my two cents on it.

KwietStorm_BLM4652d ago

You can't say Killzone 3 is lackluster compared to KZ2 anywhere outside of the actual Killzone community forums or you'll just get disagree bombed. Oh, nevermind.

Outside_ofthe_Box4652d ago

Yeah, the REAL KILLZONE fans know what deal is.

TooTall194652d ago

KZ2 is my favorite mp game ever and the sp is fun also. Both KZ2 and KZ3 had serious potential, but each had their own flaws. The Move made KZ3 much more enjoyable. Can't wait to play an optimized version of the original.

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation57d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear2157d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon57d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga56d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage56d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing57d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Killzone composer would love a remaster trilogy, “don’t know if a new game” would be successful

Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga62d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM62d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box62d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia63d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac61d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE62d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM62d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB62d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion62d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps62d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

Killzone Deserves More Than A Helldivers 2 Crossover

Arrowhead is now giving away its second load of crossover cosmetics for free.

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai158d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga157d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid157d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness157d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt157d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

TheEroica156d ago (Edited 156d ago )

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider156d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH156d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn157d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion157d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
