If true, I'll be disappointed. I really hate the idea of dlc coming out soon after a game's release. Why not just put it in the game initially.. or wait a while and make it worth the money. Oh well, I guess that's just the direction the gaming industry is going in general...

DavidMacDougall5975d ago

Yep but im not going with it, i refuse to buy DLC this close after release it should be on the disc at no extra charge.

TOO PAWNED5975d ago (Edited 5975d ago )

Yeah i guess it is okey is MS does it with Fable 2, but it is NO NO for Sony. Shame on them, how dare they to do this!/sarc

TOO PAWNED5975d ago

BTW, this is in section RUMOR-RUMOR-RUMOR

Bathyj5975d ago

I cant believe you guys would prefer the game was delayed in order to get the DLC on it which probably isn't finished yet? KZ went gold a month ago. And theres free and paid for DLC. I wont suffer a delay for some extra maps or a game mode.

Sitdown5975d ago

Perhaps I missed your sarcasm...but what are you talking about? People complained when Fable II did it, just like people are complaining about capcom doing it.

Tarasque5975d ago

Maybe the control issues will be fixed in the DLC......

Ghoul5975d ago

guys you do know that implementing new maps etc. into the release candidate is a problem...

Therefore some developers are allready working on dlc when the game is in the final stages (last 4 months).
Or do you think they just pay all the modellers and level artists for nothing ?

DelbertGrady5975d ago

Maybe it didn't fit on the Blu-Ray disc? ;)

I'd say it depends what type of DLC it is. If it's just maps and stuff like that it kinda sucks. And that goes for all games, looking at you Gears 2...

Sevir045975d ago

i like the thought of DLC if it's priced economically. Yes i agree that things should be included on the disc, but nothing ever works out the way it does, The very scope of the game is huge and there is alot going on so if it's just a new maps and weapons or some new game mode, i'm all for it, You wont complain if it's free so lets just wait to see. games like this have the frame work and the DNA for a DLC platform. it's a thing of the shooter genre so take it as it is or dont get it. You'll have the release version while others will have the definitive version of the game.

SuperM5975d ago

Sony always gives developers time so they can make the games good. KZ2 has been in development for a long time. Should they delay it further so they can get more content into the game? You guys are definately asking for to much.

nycredude5975d ago

No one is forcing you to buy anything. Besides there will also be free dlc. They are trying to please the ones who like dlc and for the ones who don't, well, there is this thing call freedom of choice. If you don't like it don't buy it!

I for one would have paid $100 for this game so bring on the dlc. Also, and I know this is a big if, if they somehow manage to patch coop into this game then they can do no wrong!!!

lociefer5975d ago

oh god , this'll be mgo allover again , guerilla plz dont be like that :( , i just wanna join a game easily , not just get * u cant play coz u didnt buy that expansion pack* crap, once u buy a 60$ game u should NOT pay extra for shlt , this is all m$hit's doing

dantesparda5975d ago (Edited 5975d ago )

lociefer and i also think this is MS' fault! they started this practice on the consoles

GameGambits5975d ago

I really do expect some great DLC coming from Guerrilla for K2. Things they can easily add:

1) A third badge ability for each class
2) New weapons
3) New maps
4) Vehicles on new maps(I'm not for this. It ruins the shooter part of first person shooters, but meh I'd just avoid these maps)
5)New game types
6)New classes
7)Higher ranks to ascend to with various rewards

That's 7 things I could think of in DLC that are all just as likely as the rest to appear in K2. :)

@David & Voice: If you go to the source it is telling you that there will be Free and Paid DLC. So I think nobody is refusing FREE DLC :P

DavidMacDougall5975d ago

I've had 3 HDD brake on me last year and i lost a whole bunch of stuff, including all the saves on my PS3 so i don't trust them anymore. So i don't buy games off the store nor do i buy DLC because im paranoid im going to lose it all. But even if its free i'd like it so much more if it was just on the disc. I really want Wipeout HD but because there is no Blu-Ray version ill never get it

heyheyhey5975d ago

mate if you had 3 HHD's break then your obviously doing something wrong

anyway, try buying your own HDD

thor5975d ago

You can re-download all the stuff you own though. Seriously, get Wipeout HD, it's well worth it. If your HDD breaks again, get a new one, and re-download the game. Might be a bit of a pain but just make sure the HDDs you're buying are not cheap shoddy ones that are likely to break ;)

You can always back up your save data as well onto a portable hard drive or memory stick.

DavidMacDougall5975d ago

Well the HDD in the ps3 was the stardard one, i had a £200 external HDD brake and the one in my 2 year old computer corrupted. But that whole you get so many downloads for your money, that just reminds me of that 3 installs only crap you get with PC games but there ain't no way out of it. I did really want the DLC for LBP but then when i was playing LBP Online it crashed at the end of a level and deleted everything i had so i gave up

PirateThom5975d ago

You don't get "so many downloads", you can download as many times as you want on the 5 activated PS3s, I believe.

LeonSKennedy4Life5975d ago

...that's correct.

I've downloaded PAIN over 10 times now.

I have three friends that have downloaded many of my games multiple times also.

voice_of_ reason5975d ago

I did read that, and any free dlc is appreciated. However, to me it all depends on what the paid and free dlc is... i have no quarrel paying for new maps if they're good. But I feel nickle and dimed if they charge for weapons or costumes. Again, this is just my humble opinion.

SAiOSiN5975d ago

at david
u do realize that u can re-download the stuff u bought from the psn store?

samich2007 you google translated articles are starting to get annoying.

za3redrum5975d ago (Edited 5975d ago )

Just another hype from PS3HYPE. I can say also that an 'anonymous' source told me that the PS3 is getting Killzone 3. This is just bullshit, made up, hyping their own site, so don't believe too much of it. They also said that an 'anonymous' source from Sony told them that de demo had a multiplayer, also nonsense.

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

OtterX247d ago (Edited 247d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne247d ago (Edited 247d 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-ro247d ago

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

just_looken246d 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

MDTunkown247d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72247d 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_looken246d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya246d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast247d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood247d 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.

OtterX476d ago (Edited 476d 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-ro476d ago

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

darthv72476d 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_476d ago

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

Cacabunga476d ago

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

Profchaos475d ago (Edited 475d 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

seanpitt23475d 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!

Iceball2000476d ago

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

Father__Merrin476d ago

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

InUrFoxHole476d ago

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

Marcus Fenix476d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989476d ago

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

1Victor476d ago (Edited 476d 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 😱

476d ago
Michiel1989476d 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.

1Victor780d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar780d ago

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

jznrpg779d ago

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

badz149779d 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!

Vengeance1138780d 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 Kim780d ago

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

VersusDMC780d 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?

Vengeance1138780d ago

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

solideagle780d 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.

Phoenix76780d 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

REDGUM779d ago

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

thesoftware730780d ago (Edited 780d 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.

blacktiger779d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca780d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy780d ago (Edited 780d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain780d ago

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

Imalwaysright780d ago

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