2008 looks like a good year for the next-gen consoles.

sammy_mantra5843d ago (Edited 5843d ago )

2008 looks like a very big year for SONY and PS3

Too Human is not in the league of SOCOM

SOCOM is not in the same league as KZ2

KZ2 is in the league no one can touch

**********Please take my words . I previewed a KZ2 version yesterday at VOLT, montreal. My boss and my manager were simply blown away.

I will release some screenshots if possible. The gameplay mechnics of KZ2 is just WOWSOME. On the preview version which reached us by DHL , it was written ------"STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"

Trust my words.....no game is in the league of KZ2

Theres one thing which i can tell you guys----GUERILLA would release some screenshots of KZ2 before E3----around 20 days/a month before E3,2008

PSMonster215843d ago (Edited 5843d ago )

I agree with you, but take your fanboy comments that way --> Have a nice day!

sammy_mantra5843d ago

I said nothing fanboyish

i stated the facts since i saw the recent PREVIEW CODE which XPLAY saw too

zethos565843d ago

Are a psychic? How do you know KZ2 will be that awesome?

sonarus5843d ago

LOL @ Nasim getting a build of Killzone 2. That is almost as funny as Killzone 2 releasing this yr.

Anyways i think Killzone 2 will be a great game. The graphics are there, all they need is a compelling single player mode as i am sure the online mode will be great.

Socom looks like it will be a fantastic title. I am liking the looks of confrontation can't wait to download it on my hard drive. Downloading full games on your hard drive is the future:D

PeeboDaKilla5842d ago

I'm w/ you sonarus. I'm lmao at nasim previewing KZ2

MikeGdaGod5842d ago (Edited 5842d ago )

but am i the only one that thinks SOCOM really needs to step their graphics up?

after playing in the MGO beta, i really expect alot graphics wise from these online-only games and the videos i've seen so far for SOCOM:Con haven't been that impressive,imo.

that being said, i've need played a SOCOM game before playing the ones on PSP. so i'm not sure if it's one of those games were gameplay comes before graphics or what.

eyeDEVOUR5842d ago

downloaded games is really not the future man...think about this...if you buy a game that suks,or if youve beat a game and you dont plan on playing through it again,then youre stuck with it..good luck trading it in on something else...

am i alone in this? because i never here anyone bring this point up...

downloading games was never really talked about being "the future" of gaming until microsoft used that in their defense for loosing to BLU-RAY.

if anyone thinks that the PSN or xbox live is going to put retailers like gamestop outta the market is crazy...the only way it could ever happen is if they sold the games cheap enough that if you didnt like the game then you wouldnt consider it a big loss...

im not being any kind of fanboy here....i just like my freedom to trade my games in if i feel like it

sonarus5842d ago

Well most of the games i download i consider them sunk costs. I do not plan to get anymore value from them than what i am playing.

I see your point but games like GT5P, SOCOM and Warhawk are games i downloaded and if given the choice would download again

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-ro47d ago

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

darthv7247d 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_47d ago

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

Cacabunga47d ago

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

Profchaos47d ago (Edited 47d 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

seanpitt2347d 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!

Iceball200048d ago

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

Father__Merrin48d ago

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

InUrFoxHole47d ago

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

Marcus Fenix47d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198947d ago

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

1Victor47d ago (Edited 47d 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 😱

Michiel198947d 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.

1Victor352d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar352d ago

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

jznrpg351d ago

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

badz149351d 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!

Vengeance1138352d 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 Kim352d ago

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

VersusDMC351d 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?

Vengeance1138351d ago

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

solideagle351d 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.

Phoenix76351d 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

REDGUM351d ago

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

thesoftware730352d ago (Edited 352d 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.

blacktiger351d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca352d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal351d ago

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

Imalwaysright351d 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."

shinoff2183723d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183723d 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

badz149723d 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.
