God i'd love to just kill bots all day :)

MGOelite5939d ago

lol i only just saw what you did there after thinking for about 1 minute.

very well played

Serjikal_Strike5939d ago

and that map looks like a pretty wide open area ...looks awesome

meepmoopmeep5939d ago

i'm refraining from watching anything new for this game.

without spoilers, what do you guys think, seeing that?

INehalemEXI5939d ago (Edited 5939d ago )

meep its everything I dream of and more. Minus bare nekkid lady. Best cloth waving in wind best dust , atmosphere its amazing, down to the little details. Sound fx , wind whistling by your ears etc.

cyclindk5939d ago

@ hi def freak

Actually the grenade launcher is kinda crappy, it looks awesome and seems awesome, but the stupid grenades only blowup upon enemy impact or after a timer runs down... it would have been better if they just blew on impact with any solid surface.

Aclay5939d ago

Out of all the videos I've seen, I think I like this Multiplayer map the most.... and the Bots in the game are actually REALLY good, the enemy A.I. in Killzone 2 is top notch, that's for sure. The wind effects in this level and the amount of detail is just SICK.

I don't know what kind of black magic Guerrilla used to get the Multiplayer of KZ2 to look just as good as the Single Player and run just as smooth, but damn, they did an awesome job!

Timesplitter145939d ago

My deep love for Timesplitters taught me the wonders of bots.

Bots can make any game 100 times more awesome

Ace_Shooter5939d ago (Edited 5939d ago )

that was really nice. great effects, graphics, framerate. i'm going to love this game.

OFF TOPIC: i got my pre-order at gamestop today. would someone please tell me where the code is??receipt?? i hope i wasn't supposed to ask for it lol

EDIT: @cyclind. i disagreed with yah. if the grenades blew up on impact, there would be too many "cheap" kills. the reload animation on that launcher is beautiful

DOUBLE EDIT: @ demonstalker. THANKS!! ANd....

FFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKK KKKKKK!!! :(

INehalemEXI5939d ago

yup , you going to have to go back and get it. Unless you pre order online then it will be emailed to yah.

dredgewalker5939d ago

Why do i keep torturing myself looking at these great vids!! My God the atmosphere of the game really makes you feel that its really a battleground! Someone has to be really blind to say that it isnt that special.

thereapersson5939d ago

*facepalm*

That would make it a ROCKET LAUNCHER now, wouldn't it? It's a GRENADE launcher....

Your comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Timesplitter145939d ago

Actually, I like it this way. The rocket launcher already blows up on impact. But with this grenade launcher, you can use wall-bouncing strategies, and this adds alot to the gameplay.

TheBand1t5939d ago

Grenade launcher grenades are WAY different from hand grenades. Grenade launcher grenades are designed to explode on impact.

CrippleH5939d ago

It's a strategic weapon not a noob toob.

monkpunk15939d ago

Here's one thing i noticed.... the isa "light" seemed a lot brighter than in the beta... Just a shame that we didn't see the Helghast eyes. Looking forward to this online, I need a COD beater.

jammy_705939d ago

geg a kill looks very satifying

masterg5938d ago

This is the game that makes me go back to playing a lot of multiplayer.
I was sure Gears Of War 2 would do it (I played GoW1 MP for a year), but it didn't happen.

After watching that video all I have to say is wow. That is amazing. Looks so much fun. It looks like CoD4 in the future with better graphics.

The single player will sell a lot of KZ2, but the multiplayer will make this Sony's first major hit.

cyclindk5938d ago (Edited 5938d ago )

@ thereapersson @ Timesplitter14 = morons

I played the beta first of all, second I said exactly how it works, third how did my comment not make any sense? Oh, what? No argument to make? Every other game I've played has the grenades explode upon impact nitwits... don't try and explain to me how YOU think a grenade launcher is SUPPOSED to work.

Timesplierer14, did you play the beta? If you had you would have realized that what you've said, albeit true, is negated by the fact that the grenades are somehow weaker than hand grenades which doesn't make sense, and also nobody really works as a team like that, with one guy flushing out the opposition and the others picking them off, so there...

ThanatosDMC5938d ago

How do you get more ammo? Cuz i want to turtle and spam grenades with that gun... yeah, what a b**** huh?

Giriath5937d ago (Edited 5937d ago )

You can repair ammo crates with the Engineer's secondary ability. If you didn't already know, secondary abilities have to unlocked by using the primary ability to earn ribbons and a medal. You can also use it with other classes after having earned the medal for the repair ability.

ThanatosDMC5937d ago

Ah, i see. Thanks. A few more days before the demo!

MGOelite5939d ago

that grenade laucher looks unforgiving at times, i really hope this is the eassy setting for the bots, they do look kinda stupid at times and only managed to kill the real guy once with the grenade laucher + shotgun,

BTW this look like a great sniper level

Gray25939d ago

On higher bot settings they are supposed to be pretty unrelenting!!
But yeah its a pretty sexy lookin map

chidori6665939d ago

this bots is easy mode right???

retrofly5939d ago

Looks like the easiest setting for sure, the player seemed to be taking alot of damage too without going down but they dropped like flies, should be good for learning the maps without ruining your stats :P

ALIEN5939d ago

that level and some bots, it' going to be a great practice for me and my 3 bros (my team)... PS3 owners will have a great time plyain this game together. Good lookin-out bros!!!

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

OtterX193d ago (Edited 193d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne193d ago (Edited 193d 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-ro193d ago

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

just_looken193d 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

MDTunkown193d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72193d 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_looken193d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya192d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast193d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood193d 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.

OtterX422d ago (Edited 422d 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-ro422d ago

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

darthv72422d 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_422d ago

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

Cacabunga422d ago

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

Profchaos422d ago (Edited 422d 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

seanpitt23422d 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!

Iceball2000422d ago

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

Father__Merrin422d ago

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

InUrFoxHole422d ago

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

Marcus Fenix422d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989422d ago

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

1Victor422d ago (Edited 422d 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 😱

422d ago
Michiel1989422d ago

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

SullysCigar726d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor726d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar726d ago

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

jznrpg726d ago

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

badz149726d 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!

Vengeance1138726d 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 Kim726d ago

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

VersusDMC726d 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?

Vengeance1138726d ago

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

solideagle726d 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.

Phoenix76726d 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

REDGUM726d ago

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

thesoftware730726d ago (Edited 726d 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.

blacktiger726d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca726d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy726d ago (Edited 726d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain726d ago

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

Imalwaysright726d ago

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