Probably won't get a new Killzone until PS5 launches

Xerneas2747d ago (Edited 2747d ago )

Horizon is GG's IP now so maybe never unless fans demand it's return.

mafiahajeri2746d ago

What kinda BS is that? Guerilla Cambridge could easily make an amazing killzone game. The vita game was really good, considering the hardware.

Fishy Fingers2746d ago

Might be difficult with the studio closing earlier in the year.

UltraNova2746d ago

I need a Killzone 2 remaster...

ShadowWolf7122746d ago

GG already said they're not done with Killzone.

@mafiahajeri

Guerilla Cambridge was dissolved a while back so I doubt it.

bouzebbal2746d ago

Noôoooooo
I love to go back to them once in a while. 2 of my best last gen games

Weeblordbad2745d ago

@mafiahajeri

If they still existed, sure.

Who cares? The last one was crap!

Sony is shutting down their PS3 games franchise by franchise.

Outside_ofthe_Box2746d ago

True, they're never gonna top KZ2's multiplayer so any new KZ that comes out, I'm not going to care about to be honest.

UCForce2746d ago (Edited 2746d ago )

Even their games like Killzone 3 and Killzone Shadow Fall weren’t the best like KZ2 was, but they were good enough. Also, GG love Killzone series but a lot of people like myself including GG are agreed that we need to do something new to refresh ourselves. GG have evolved for good reason. Fun fact though, the original Horizon Prototype was going to have Co op, but it was completely scratched.

moegooner882746d ago

You cared enough to make a comment.

mafiahajeri2746d ago (Edited 2746d ago )

Youre not making any sense, must be from all that deep throat xD

Halo killed itself. Killzone didn’t need to lift a finger.

scofios2746d ago

Coinork

Halo doesn't need a killer , it killed it self .

rocketpanda2745d ago

You expect them to keep the servers running for PS3 games when they don't have the player base still playing it. I'm surprised the online is actually still running after all these years.

1Victor2745d ago

@deep dumb companies close servers for old games all the time but I can name 2 PS3 games that Sony can never shutdown and they do war and fly to the star like a hawk

Killzone 2 multiplayer is legendary.

NecrumOddBoy2746d ago

Agreed, that TOP 1% Trophy was one of my favorites. So many good memories playing online.

Outside_ofthe_Box2746d ago

They should remake it for the PS4

-Foxtrot2746d ago

One of those games which proved less is more and that it should be about skill, not what gimmicks you've unlocked.

Krangs_Uncle2746d ago

Clan matches were the best MP experiences I've ever had to be honest - there were some absolute beasts out there.

One of the only good MP modes Sony has had in a looong time.

isa_scout2746d ago (Edited 2746d ago )

Uhmm you nver play resistance,Uncharted or the Last of Us MP?The Last of Us MP was like top 5 best MP I've ever played, and I've played a crap ton of MP games.

DialgaMarine2746d ago

MAG, Warhawk, And Starhawk were all amazing multiplayer experiences as well.

showtimefolks2746d ago

Along with 8 player Co op in resistance 2

MoonConquistador2745d ago

Or 256 player's on MAG. The game had it's issues but it was fantastic when people worked together

blackblades2746d ago

That mp was crazy, definitely when they put out a spawn point in the middle of a battle room.

G1L2746d ago

Absolutely! Those trophies weren't easy but so rewarding to get em! Mercenary still gives me those vibes :D

Was good. What I'm waiting for is socom

Now Killzone: Mercenary & Killzone: Shadow Fall will be the only way to play multiplayer in the series

UCForce2746d ago

Hey, Killzone Mercenary was great.

InTheZoneAC2746d ago

People still play shadow fall. I logged in about 6 months ago for a day and enjoyed it. So refreshing playing a mp game without aim assist

Jinger2746d ago

Isn't shadow fall's MP pretty much dead? Plus it is crap compared to KZ2

FunAndGun2746d ago

Please tell me how much Shadow Fall multiplayer game time you have played?

You obviously know nothing about it by your comments.

Jinger2746d ago

@FunAndGun

Admittedly not a ton because when I got on a bit late after launch it didn't seem active, took me a while to find matches, not all matches were filled etc. So i figured it was pretty much dead. Plus getting on late sucked because all the OP powers you can get once you level up. Didn't seem like an even playing field.

Gotta hook up the PS3 and play KZ2 MP one last time before then.

It had a nice run.

Kratos_Kart20072746d ago

Is it still alive online? If it is I'm going to play it

SonyStyled2746d ago

I played a about 2 months ago. Mostly 24/7 blood gracht. There were a few Solomon market games too

Outside_ofthe_Box2746d ago

Last I played it was two years ago so I don't know. But I'm sure with this news a lot of people like myself are going to start playing it again before it shuts down.

LonDonE2746d ago

Agreed, what about the bot mode? I used to love playing against them, to me kz2 had some of the best bots.
I suppose that too will be gone since it uses the servers.

piroh215d ago

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic215d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23215d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger206d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

OtterX248d ago (Edited 248d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne248d ago (Edited 248d 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-ro248d ago

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

just_looken248d 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

MDTunkown248d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72248d 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_looken248d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya247d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast248d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood248d 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.

OtterX477d ago (Edited 477d 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-ro477d ago

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

darthv72477d 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_477d ago

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

Cacabunga477d ago

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

Profchaos477d ago (Edited 477d 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

seanpitt23477d 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!

Iceball2000477d ago

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

Father__Merrin477d ago

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

InUrFoxHole477d ago

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

Marcus Fenix477d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989477d ago

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

1Victor477d ago (Edited 477d 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 😱

Michiel1989477d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
