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.
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
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.
Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
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.
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
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.
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.
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. =]
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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 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
