SCEA: Killzone 2 in latter half of 2007

In a recent interview with SCEA's Peter Dille, Killzone 2 is mentioned briefly as one of Sony's upcoming titles to release in the second half of 2007.

"I think we have a good first half of the year. Games like Lair that people are really excited about. MLB is coming out and is looking great and is the best-selling sports game from a first-party studio. Motorstorm. Heavenly Sword. And don't forget you have games like Killzone in the back half of the year. We're not really saying that there is one game that consumers have to wait for. I think that the content is there now and the content is coming. It's going to be a steady stream of really great PlayStation 3 content," stated Dille.

There will be a steady flow of quality games coming to the PS3. Even though Raiders only mentioned the exclusives, there is still plenty of games coming that would make it worth paying $600 for. Not everyone will think that, but the more quality games that start to come out the more people that will be willing to spend that much. And it's not that far off. March is a big month for Sony. Europe launch and new games, hopefully it'll be good.

Maddens Raiders6718d ago (Edited 6718d ago )

I couldn't agree more. As little as six months ago on this site people were touting the nex-gen race as a "marathon". However the rules seemed to have been changed since the Christmas season shinanigans and fistfights. It's as if one month decided the entire race for some. People were already shouting "we won this", "the war is over", blah. People forget that Playstation is the console game leader. Period. Until that achievement is taken away from them by force -- it's ignorant to think that the titles coming for the PS3 and even the mighty PS2 in 2007 are nothing less than pre-cursors to a long list (converging to the P3) of games to come from a comapany that knows a thing or two about pumping out GAMES. A lot of people dogged KZ I. It was one of THOSE games. Either you hated it or loved it. All I know is that the lobbies are still full today with gamers that love to blast in the park, beach, creek, slums,or orbital station. I think that the man vs. man aspect is part of the draw, but also the grittiness and realism of re-loads and cartridge ejection from the shell chambers of the guns that make it so kick ass. The sounds of the weapons are great too. For this to be realized on the PS3 with vast improvements has a lot of PS fans on the edge of their seats waiting to see what Guerilla is going to do to this game. I wish there was some in game footage available or even an actual screen would be nice. No doubt that the wii and 360 will have good games coming this year, but for a wicked variety of games -- 2007 looks to be the the year the PS3 comes out of its shiny shell. =]

TheMART6718d ago

The only question is: why haven't we seen any ingame video's?

Come on guys it has to launch this year? WHat's done and what's not... Nice. It will be up to Halo 3, Gears of War and Bioshock if it comes the second half of this year. Very nice indeed

Shadow Flare6718d ago (Edited 6718d ago )

apparently grand theft auto 5 is being released at the end of this year.

I haven't seen jack crap about that game. It MUST be delayed

Im a playstation fan but i gotta say, i think Killzone 1 kinda sucked. Especially after playing Halo. However, it has a real cool feel and a lot of potential of where it can head. It also has a great story background. The E3 Killzone 2 trailer really showed what a cool game this can be. Even though i think Killzone 1 sucks, i can sense that Killzone 2 is having alot of work put into it and that it will be a good game. Its gonna be one of those games where it'll either trounce Halo 3, match it, or stunt Halo 3's sales, but i don't think it will be a complete failure. Sony's pushing this game like no other

big_tim6718d ago

Your right about RockStar. They hold back on the GTA info for some reason. They have done this with previous games. Nobody thought it would come out on time because they hadn't seen much on it. But the game still came out and was a huge hit.

However, I doubt that Killzone will make it out this year. The guy barely mentioned it in passing. It is probably another mistake that will be retracted later. They will probably show something on the game around when E3 was, but I doubt the game will be out this year.

PS3 Ultimate6717d ago (Edited 6717d ago )

You mouth in every news thats good. All you mention is GOW and Halo 3. Enough with those games. You kill it! I'm never buying a 360 for Halo 3 and GOW NEVER!! Samething goes for many,MANY of my friends. Why don't you wait til Gaylo 3 launches, THEN you can talk. As for GOW? Its dead! Why are u still talking about it? And if I'm wrong, why are'nt you playing it? Halo 3 is just 1 FPS shooter that is actually decent! Why don't you stop talking abotu this 1 game. Because thats all MS has! They are putting it their all on Gaylo 3. Why do I insult the game? Because of idiots like K-Mart ALWAYS talking about it! Seems like thats the only words you know when you play Box360. ''Halo 3'' ''Gears Of War''. Are there more games that are good on the 360? Nope guess not. Halo 3 and GOW is all you ever mention.

Monchichi0256718d ago

Why all this hype for a game that was straight AWFUL on the PS2. I know because I too fell for the Sony's trap of it being a "Halo killer" lol.

And no one will see the value of spending $600 on a PS3 for Killzone when the grandaddy of them all is coming in November: HALO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MikeMichaels6718d ago (Edited 6718d ago )

Some of us don't rely on Gamerankings to tell us what games are and aren't good.

Also, some of us actually enjoy playing games. Not arguing about them in forums.

Once you got past the hype, Killzone was an "ok" game with an amazing back story. Incredible art direction and awesome villains (Come on!! The Helgast look badass) and tons of "potential".

Thats why people are looking forward to it.

PS3 Ultimate6717d ago

Is not a grandaddy of them all. Halo 2 sold almost as much as GOW. Grand Daddy of them all are DMC4,MGS4,SH5,RE5! Those are the games that are the best.

Juevani6718d ago (Edited 6718d ago )

@ TheFart I bet your so in love with a PS3 but you cant afford one thats why u sit here talkin trash.

Halo3 = Looks like a cracked version of Halo2 with more green robocops.

GOW = 3 hours, I mean comn

Bio = No online and prolly 3 hours long too (dvd remember)

Is that whats comin for the greenies in 2007. hahaha

Mr Murda6718d ago

Juevani I look forward to all of your "post" in every topic/article. I stopped taking you seriously a LONG time ago, so now it's purely comic relief. Thanks for the memories!

Optimus Prime6718d ago

i cant stop laughing at you juevani. your retarted. you probably have never touched gears of war. and you make asumptions about games that arent even out yet. you are really smart you 10 year old fanboy.

wolfgang6717d ago

Juevani : I heard you like to dress like a little girl and beg all the other boys at your school to kiss you. If by any chance this rumor was fake, please feel free to reply, but if you don't I'll just assume its real.

marionz6717d ago

sorry i dont get it, sure it wasnt a huge game but it took me about 10, and im playing again on hardcore and its taking longer cos i keep gettin killed lol, anyway juvani ur a tosser considering your beloved RFOM was about the same length but as shallow as a puddle in the carpark

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

OtterX235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne234d ago (Edited 234d 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-ro235d ago

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

just_looken234d 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

MDTunkown235d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72235d 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_looken234d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya234d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast235d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood235d 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.

OtterX464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

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-ro464d ago

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

darthv72463d 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_463d ago

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

Cacabunga463d ago

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

Profchaos463d ago (Edited 463d 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

seanpitt23463d 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!

Iceball2000464d ago

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

Father__Merrin464d ago

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

InUrFoxHole464d ago

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

Marcus Fenix464d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989464d ago

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

1Victor464d ago (Edited 464d 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 😱

Michiel1989464d 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.

1Victor768d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar768d ago

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

jznrpg767d ago

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

badz149767d 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!

Vengeance1138768d 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 Kim768d ago

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

VersusDMC768d 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?

Vengeance1138768d ago

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

solideagle768d 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.

Phoenix76768d 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

REDGUM767d ago

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

thesoftware730768d ago (Edited 768d 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.

blacktiger767d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca768d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy768d ago (Edited 768d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain767d ago

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

Imalwaysright767d ago

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