The next gen isn't really that impressive if you think about it.
It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.
Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.
lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.
They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.
I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.
@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”
Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.
“Sadly”?
The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.
True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.
And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.
I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.
Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.
Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.
To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.
And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.
I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.
Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.
I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.
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.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
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!
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
One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

So not a drop off.
Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
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.
@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
Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself
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.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
To be honest, he's right in terms of the gaming. I'm not interested in the PS4 simply because its just better graphics than the PS3. Yes, there are some enhancements you can do with a better graphics engine, but really.. there's nothing that my PC can't do. The Xbox One on the other hand seeks to unify TV, Gaming (albeit even less capabilities than the PS4 in this regard), Communications, and the social aspects bring a unified experience that I am looking forward to.
The TV stuff alone excites me as I watched the US Presidential debates on the Xbox One and it was very interesting to see viewer poll data in near instant results come back from questions I answered. There's good and bad about that, but I can see instantly where this will not only impact interviews, but could allow interaction with the audience. I can also see choosing challenges for Survivor contestants. Doesn't appeal to me but for those who loyally watch there's value for them.
My wife wants the One to work out with her sisters who are spread across the country. They are going to use it and Skype at the same time. There's potential for personal trainers there to have special classes since Skype can host up to 25 users at the same time.
I can see Distance Learning revolve around Skype. Classes and exams that have instant feedback on any subject. An instructor could even select you to ask him a question. There's lots of potential for eduction.
I know most people here don't care about the other things the Xbox one can do, but it can reach a much broader base and has more uses than the PS4. MS can form a lot of partnerships to build custom apps and support many different functions and I think after the "hard core" gamer community has seen the initial run, we'll see some of those partnerships announced.
Whoo-Hoo!!!
PS4!!!!
Maybe for you, but not for me. I'm not even getting a PS4 at launch, but I'm very excited to get one. I'm excited to play The Division, I'm excited to play inFamous Second Son and I'm excited to pick up the Witcher 3. Those are just some of the games I'm excited for.
That's just me. There are loads of people excited for what the next-gen has to offer. Not everyone likes the PC. The PS4 has 1 million+ pre-orders from Gamestop alone. People are excited.
It's always the same when a new gen hits. There's this pessimistic crap that goes around at the beginning and then words are eaten later on. It's just the launch of the PS4/XBO. It's one chapter of the gen, if that. Don't judge a 6-7 year gen off of the launch.
That's the spirit
People said the same crap just before the ps3 and 360 came out and then they happily ate their words down the line...
Some people also forget that a lot of people can't afford a gaming PC and then continue to upgrade it, a 400$ console that provides the graphics we are seeing is impressive. This guys journalism skills are not.
