Gaming Excellence: Killzone 2 Preview

Ever since Killzone 2 was demoed at E3 2005, skeptics and fans alike have been clamouring for proof that the pre-rendered video on display was actually possible. After getting some hands on time with the game at E3 2008, GamingExcellence can say that Guerrilla software has managed to come closer to that lofty goal than anybody could have possibly imagined.

Sweet you can get a flamethrower seems im gettin this over CoD.WAW

EDIT : Should have told me Fishy Fingers i never even heard about it until now this game can't get better unless sackboys appear at the end and kill both humans and helghast and then rule the universe FOREVER!!!!

Fishy Fingers5710d ago (Edited 5710d ago )

I've been waiting for someone to mention the flamethrower after seeing the Helghast wield one in the original E3 05 trailer, nice to know it made the cut.

Need to see it in action now, I'm interested to see how GG's mo-cap/ragdoll hybrid character physics will behave when on fire. I'm expecting at the very least a nice piece of mo-cap.

"The weapons models are so detailed it seems like you could reach into your TV and grab one."

Hehe, day pass by and i get more pumped up for this game.
This alone justify $400 PS3. Rest of the titles are just added bonus.
Bubble Bubble everyone. Wish i could give 5 bubble to everyone.

Panthers5709d ago

There have been a million reasons that each one alone would justify the $400-$600 price (whatever you paid)

Mine was Socom, but this will be the icing on the cake!

DavidMacDougall5710d ago (Edited 5710d ago )

Down with GaysOfWar1.5 and its standard DVD9 wtf is it retarded you cant ****ing match 50gb of uncompressed textures

Poor thing never stood a chance but i aint crying no tears for Gaysofwars1.5 its there own fault

@n4gzz : I respect your opinion i played through the first one on the hardess difficulty and it was fun but i dont like people saying its the best thing out (Maybe for the 360) and the best looking

Its old tech and if they go for Geow3 (1.5 - part2) they better have like 4 discs before they go against a 50gb one

n4gzz5710d ago

Hey now, Don't downplay Gears2. I am getting gears2 too. Obviously, Killzone2 is way up there though. Gears2 may be Gears1.5 but it is still quality game.

PoSTedUP5710d ago (Edited 5710d ago )

my opinion.... its badass in every way. gears was a good game that had great graphics and solid online. the story wasnt great, the story wasnt long, but the game play made up for it. its an all around cool ass game.

the online was cool, just not my style. i prefer..... the more the merrier : ). people say that gears is meant for 4 vs 4, but i guarantee you that if you had like 8vs 8 or 10 vs 10, it would be even better in my honest opinion. gears is defiantly for the hardcore gamer.....

i like resistance too...

JBaby3435709d ago

Hopefully the second will be better but KZ 2 just looks unbelievable.

To everyone who loved Gears I'm glad you did and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the second. I'm not insulting anyone or saying "Gears sucks". It just didn't do it for me. To each his own.

Can't wait for KZ 2.

KZ2 will have trouble keeping up with Gears 1, much less Gears 2.

jtucker785710d ago (Edited 5710d ago )

How about Saboteur 2 on the Spectrum?

That was also 1987. The Android guards had flamethrowers didn't they?

And pet Pumas that patrolled the command centre ... which was a little wierd...

Dark General5710d ago

1987 was "the year of the flamethrower" in video games *laughs*.

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-ro52d ago

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

darthv7252d 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_52d ago

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

Cacabunga52d ago

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

Profchaos52d ago (Edited 52d 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

seanpitt2352d 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!

Iceball200052d ago

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

Father__Merrin52d ago

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

InUrFoxHole52d ago

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

Marcus Fenix52d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198952d ago

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

1Victor52d ago (Edited 52d 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 😱

Michiel198952d 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.

1Victor356d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar356d ago

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

jznrpg356d ago

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

badz149356d 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!

Vengeance1138356d 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 Kim356d ago

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

VersusDMC356d 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?

Vengeance1138356d ago

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

solideagle356d 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.

Phoenix76356d 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

REDGUM356d ago

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

thesoftware730356d ago (Edited 356d 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.

blacktiger356d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca356d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy356d ago (Edited 356d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal356d ago

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

Imalwaysright356d 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."

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

shinoff2183728d 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

badz149728d 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.
