Instead of spoiling the Gameplay and Intro scenes via endless Videos why not simply watch the clock as it makes progress to Midnight 26th Feb 2009.

for a midnight launch of this stellar title (perhaps the best game ever)

thereapersson5990d ago

Are there even going to be midnight launches of this game? I didn't know Gamestop was planning one...

PotNoodle5990d ago

Wow.. I'm excited for this game too - but i've played it and i'll tell you now - it is not the best game ever. Its an amazing game, yes - but the best? no.

No game can ever surpass the hype you lot put on these games.

thereapersson5990d ago

Yeah, there's too much hype this generation for way too many games.

I've made up my mind that for the next month I am going to stay out of anything that is related to Killzone 2. I know I've said it in the past, but this time I mean it. I need to be refreshed by the time the game comes out, and too many videos and reviews will diminish the impact for me, I fear.

HardcoreGamer5990d ago

i cant do that just for a game there is lots of other impoprtant things people do in life, wait a minute im hardcoregamer,,,, outta the way ppl im goin to the front of the line, but honestly i play games hardcore lol, not line up for them. but i give you this there is a whatever flaots your boat style of excitement for waiting in line for midnight launches

Rhythmattic5990d ago (Edited 5990d ago )

OT

Hey, That Countdown picture they are using is from a 70's/80's program from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting commission) A music show way before MTV.

(Also replayed on RAGE)

Bathyj5990d ago

Nice spot Rhythmattic. Molly would be spewing.

I dont agree this game is overhyped. Its living up to every expectation on every front. Isn't the hype justified.

Of course we could all just be a bit sick of hearing about it already and just want it now, but it still deserves every good thing thats been said about it.

Rhythmattic5990d ago (Edited 5990d ago )

I dont expect anything from K2, expectations I believe for me will be met extraordinarily.

After watching the translated Dutch interview with the GG team, with their professionalism, Humbleness, passion and creativeness they will surely have their Goal realised.

(may be spoilers for some)

I for one, am going to enjoy all that hard work.

joevfx5990d ago

the liek for a game is in opinion, i might think the best game ever is different from what you think the best game ever is. so you saying its NOT th ebest game ever is the same as someone else saying it IS the best game ever. its all opinion. for instance so far i think th ebest game ever is Battlefield 1942 for the PC that came out 5 or 6 years ago. what do you think the best game ever is?

himdeel5990d ago (Edited 5990d ago )

...the demo goes live via the Gamestop scratch off card for pre-orders. February 5th = Killzone 2 demo goes live = fantastic!

It's going to be fun times for all.

cant wait for this. will be really cool i hope.

anubis125990d ago

my gamestop is not...they are for RE5

Rhythmattic5990d ago

Yeh but PS3 owners get both.

infamous_275990d ago

I've been watching this for 13 minutes now...

thereapersson5990d ago

That would be awesome if the characters did different things based off of how close the timer gets to zero. Like, what if they started shooting "holes" in the screen or something?

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

OtterX236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne235d ago (Edited 235d 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_looken235d 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

MDTunkown236d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72236d 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_looken235d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya235d 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.

OtterX465d ago (Edited 465d 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.

darthv72464d 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_464d ago

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

Cacabunga464d ago

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

Profchaos464d ago (Edited 464d 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

seanpitt23464d 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!

Iceball2000465d ago

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

Father__Merrin465d ago

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

InUrFoxHole465d ago

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

Marcus Fenix465d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989464d ago

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

1Victor465d ago (Edited 465d 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.

1Victor769d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar769d ago

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

jznrpg768d ago

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

badz149768d 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!

Vengeance1138769d 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 Kim769d ago

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

VersusDMC769d 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?

Vengeance1138769d ago

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

solideagle769d 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.

Phoenix76769d 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

REDGUM768d ago

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

thesoftware730769d ago (Edited 769d 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.

blacktiger768d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca769d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy769d ago (Edited 769d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain768d ago

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

Imalwaysright768d ago

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