New Killzone 2 trailer to be nonexistent at Play.com Live

After rumors floating around that a new trailer would be surfacing at the event known as Play.com Live, it comes as no real surprise that Sony in fact did not show anything new regarding Killzone 2 at the small expo. According to attendees of the event, only the E3 07 trailer has been shown.

When asked about the possibility before hand, a Sony PR told PSU "SCEA very rarely brings software to someone else's event. Typically, we create an event and invite media/consumers to play the various products."

sonarus6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

it was more of wishful thinking than anything else really.

Apparently reason is because SCEA rarely brings stuff to other ppls events. Isn't killzone SCEE though?
correct me if i am wrong

Hitman_Legend6303d ago

It makes a difference if its SCEE or SCEA, I mean look at E3 thats where they showed the Killzone 2 Trailer and it was SCEA at E3, so I don't think it makes a difference which branch of Sony shows new games.

Coffin876303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

yeah killzone 2 is from dutchmen (the studio is in the netherlands.. guess they never run out of weed there).

guys, don't expect a killzone 2 update until e3.

sak5006303d ago

They probably dint want to disappoint the overcrazed fans.

sonarus6303d ago

lol i don't know how releasing a trailer for the best looking game on consoles will disappoint the fans.

I never played the first one so i won't call myself a fan but the game does look beautiful and it is a game i would like to try.

Later i will be hearing ps3 fans always run to 360 section to troll and spin ps3 news into negative. Talking to you sak

destroyah6303d ago

Sak. The E3 07 was purely in-game and it looked better than any 360 game ever shown or made. The next time we see Killzone 2 all 360 fanboys are going to cry.

JsonHenry6303d ago

I totally agree. The rabid fan base that needs this game to be the "best looking" is why they did not show it yet. I am sure they want it to be completely done before daring to show it off again.

Though it looks nothing close to the E3 when it was all CGI, it does look good. (for a console game)

I hope it is fun more than anything. The last screens I saw of it look good enough to me. I hope they spend as much time on content!!

FirstknighT6303d ago

So when it this game going to officially come out? This game has been in development forever and not much info has been shown. Could be bad news.

sonarus6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

could be bad news or it could be good. This isn't the first time doubt has been cast on guerilla games. Only time will tell.

@sak well they did prove they could come close to that trailer. They didn't even shy away from it they matched it quite well a feat no one thought they could do so i still give them the benefit of the doubt

sak5006303d ago

And what have they proven so far?

destroyah6303d ago

They've proved that the best lighting ever seen in a console FPS is exclusive to the PS3. You 360 fanboys are just worried.

Ri0tSquad6303d ago

You wish.

This game has been in development for quite some time but I believe there trying to get it right. If thats the case they should take there time.

FirstknighT6303d ago

All I'm saying is that this game has a higher budget, more manpower, and longer development time than most games. So I better see something special. And from the last gameplay clip I seen, I dont even see it better than COD4.

Clinton5146303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

There's nothing out of the ordinary about it's development time.

Check the timeline:

Nov. 2004 - Launch of Killzone (PS2)
2005 - Killzone Liberation in development
2005 - Killzone 2 announced + target trailer shown at E3
Early development begins

Nov. 2006 - Launch of Killzone Liberation

March `07 - Liberation online beta ended(feb) chapter 5 + infrastructure mode completed and now in the hands of consumers for free
March 07 and beyond - The rest of the Liberation team is now working on Killzone 2

Killzone 2 launch - TBA

sonarus6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

thats where i have to disagree with you Firstknight. KZ2 looks significantly better than cod4. Look at the animations, the blood spurts, the way bodies move when shot, dead enemies continue to bleed after being shot. then there is environmental destruction, far superior lighting and then overall graphics of the game. looking close up at a face in killzone and a face in cod4 you will see killzone looks better.

I am not a KZ fan, never played the original and graphics < gameplay but KZ2 easily over powers any shooter on any console in the graphics dept. I am most impressed with the animations and the blood. If they tone down blood because of ratings i won't buy

lol I see the trolls are out in force.

Anyway, Sony gamers day is a month away or so. I bet we will see something then.

ISA_Scum6303d ago

Last year it was June, was it not? Very early, but still....

TheExecutive6303d ago

i thought it was april 19th... i could be completely wrong... was it in June?

HarryEtTubMan6303d ago

LMAO Jealous angry XBOTS... Killzone 2 is gonna destroy your life.

GETPWNZORED6303d ago

lol, if the original is any indication of what this dev team can do, then I highly doubt that. We all already know Gears smokes the crap out of this lame franchise.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

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

OtterX237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro237d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken237d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown237d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72237d ago

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.

just_looken237d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya237d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast237d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood237d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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-ro466d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72466d 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_466d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga466d ago

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

Profchaos466d ago (Edited 466d 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

seanpitt23466d 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!

Iceball2000466d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin466d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole466d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix466d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989466d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor466d ago (Edited 466d 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 😱

Michiel1989466d 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.

1Victor770d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar770d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg770d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149770d 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!

Vengeance1138770d 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 Kim770d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC770d 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?

Vengeance1138770d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle770d 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.

Phoenix76770d 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

REDGUM770d ago

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

thesoftware730770d ago (Edited 770d 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.

blacktiger770d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca770d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy770d ago (Edited 770d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain770d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright770d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
