Killzone twitter account teasing something?

It seems Official Killzone twitter account is up to something

Abash3776d ago

Awesome, I'm up for some more Killzone

JoGam3776d ago

It has Valor in his eyes. What can it be?

morganfell3776d ago (Edited 3776d ago )

That could also be the Roman Numeral Five. Not including Liberation on the PSP and Mercenary on the Vita, there have been Four main Killzone titles to date. The next would be Five.

Then again they could be hinting that Shadow Fall or Mercenary will be free to Plus members in March.

@Emrage,

I am not sure it would be that either but the fact is the title has been out for some time now. It isn't as if it was released yesterday. I would prefer it to be a new title of some type but that Helghast is a model from Shadow Fall.

Emrage3776d ago

@morganfell

I don't think Shadow Fall will be free in march because like 3 million people bought it and thats a lot and that will result in 3 million people dissapointent i except knack to be free.

PoSTedUP3776d ago (Edited 3776d ago )

mercs2!! mercs was the best KZ online MP to date imo. hell one of my fav online FPS next to cod4 and halo2. its undeniably fun and awesome/ addicting.

would be cool for PS4 but i think mercs2 would be for vita, mercs1 has been at the top of the most DLed list for like 2 years now so im sure they made out well with sales. i wouldnt doubt it has a higher attachment rate on vita than ps4 considering ps4 has a lot more fps to choose from and KZmercs is the best looking and playing game avalible on the vita.

if anything, i hope its more DLC for KZmercs, i can use some more guns and stuffs :p.

Come on people, get with the program...it's the Killzone Collection, something that everyone should be used to by now.

OmegaShen3776d ago

Just want to point out that Shadow Fall is free for Japanese Plus members.

UltraNova3776d ago

I would love to play killzone 2 in 1080p 60fps and higher quality assets!

Would be awesome to play as a Helghan protagonist, Maybe as Maya Visari. A Killzone that shows Helghans fighting against their government with the aid of the VSA maybe?

morganfell3776d ago

I have always hoped for a Helghast pure campaign. Not one of these like the situation with Echo or the earlier one with Colonel Hakha where they are sympathetic to Vekta. But one where we see Helghast as wrongly exiled people and your goal is to wholly support the war effort against Vekta.

Be the bad guy. Not a Helghast that suddenly grows a conscience because you realize the leaders of Helghan are up to no good, but instead be the bad guy.

Before Shadow Fall was announced I was hoping that the lead character would be Visari's daughter. Not the one we saw in Shadow Fall but instead a brutal and relentless strike team leader returning from combat in the polar regions to avenge her father's death.

subtenko3776d ago

Yea they still have to do that before anything. But good gosh PLEASEEE can we get a good writter with some GOOD scripting and a story that makes you go WOOOH WTF, CRAZY, this is GENIUS! Just invest in it GG pleasssse.

We need some great gameplay too tho, we want both!

MrSec843776d ago

Me too, Killzone is awesome!
I hope Guerrilla Cambridge are making a KZ Mercenary game for PS4, like Media Molecule are doing Tearaway Unfolded from the vita release.

Whether it's an outright sequel, or a remake, expanded retelling of the vita game, with an evolution from the assets used in Shadow Fall.

Shadow Fall was quality, it's a highly underrated game IMO.

MrSec843776d ago (Edited 3776d ago )

Whatever the next Killzone is, it's likely coming this year, ever since KZ2 there has been a Killzone game released every 2 years.

On PS3 KZ was a Feb release, Shadow Fall came out in November, so it seems likely that whatever the next KZ game is, it will be out November this year.

Personally I hope it's a Mercenary game, for PS4, I think that would be awesome.
Sony could do with an exclusive FPS in their line-up this year.

Bring on the AAA, Guerrilla Cambridge Killzone PS4 release I say!

Dawknight3163776d ago

Could be called Killzone 5. If you look in the Helgasts eyes you see V's.

Iltapalanyymi3776d ago

mercenary 2 would be so rad.
would not mind another ps4 title either.

JMaine5183776d ago

Hopefully it's Killzone Mercenary 2 for the Vita!

360ICE3776d ago

Wow, it sure seems that way. I want that mecha-dinosaur game, though.

Outthink_The_Room3776d ago

I'd say this E3. New IPs need more time to breath at first because you're describing a new universe, new characters, new storylines, potentially new combat mechanics..etc.

Sequels are built on foundations and can be shown, then released within a calender year. But new IPs require alot of build up, so I hope they bring it to E3 this year, make sure it gets the exposure it needs.

MrSec843776d ago

@Outthink_The_Room: Technically Knack and Driveclub were new IPs, they were announced in Feb 2013 and while Driveclub was pushed back, it was initially planned to launch within 2013.

Bloodborne was only announced at last year's E3, that's a new IP and it's coming out 9 months after it's announcement, so Horizon could be officially announced at Sony's Event on Friday, or their GDC presentation.

On Friday Sony are announcing a new Playstation initiative, while it's widely believed to be a unification of media streaming features, like rolling TV/Movies, Music and Game Streaming into a Playstation focused service, that could require some hefty investment in dedicated servers.

With Guerrilla Game's "Codename Horizon" title rumored to be a huge open world RPG, with some potentially big online components, maybe this will be Sony's big game to launch the service globally on Playstation by the end of the year.

By the sounds of it Horizon has a pretty distinct kind of world and lead character, the concept has been very well received by most people that have heard about it, so I think it would be a pretty easy sell for Sony inside of a year.

With the kind of revenue and profits that streaming is going to generate in the future a huge network of Dedicated Servers would be fully justified and expanding PS Now would also make sense as an investment for Sony.

Either way new IPs can definitely be announced mere months from release, rather than years, provided the game is marketed enough and as a publisher you get the ideas surrounding it across to the target audience and build big enough hype sales can be had.

Personally I think announcing a game and then leaving it too long before release can kill hype of a new IP pretty easily.
As a publisher if you wait until the game's at least in Beta before announcing it, the you show enough gameplay, you control the marketing better, you can hit the public with hype and not give them time to doubt the title.

Either it's announced at one of the close events and it releases this year or it's a big surprise at Sony's E3 and it launches in the 1st half of 2016, alongside God of War, with GOW being a March release (that seems to be GOW's month for releasing).

It's possible Sony will hold it back until Fall 2016. GT7 should hopefully be this year, probably December, maybe that and Horizon will be officially unveiled on Friday and Sony uses them as a way to show off the new dedicated servers on Playstation.

DeadlyFire3776d ago

Perhaps both will come. Horizon likely will take longer to develop. As all RPGs should anyway. :)

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

RaiderNation75d 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.

Abear2174d 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.

JunonZanon75d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga74d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage74d ago

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

Jingsing74d 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

Cacabunga80d ago

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

INMATEofARKHAM80d ago

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

Outside_ofthe_Box79d ago

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

Knightofelemia80d ago

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

GamingManiac78d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE80d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM80d ago

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

RedDeadLB80d 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.

senorfartcushion79d 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.

ibrake4naps80d 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...

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.

isarai175d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga175d 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!

Becuzisaid174d ago

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

Army_of_Darkness174d 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 Butt174d 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.

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

TriniOutsider173d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH173d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn175d ago

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

robtion175d 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.
