Killzone 2 dev interview: "We are thinking about the next thing"

By now everybody knows that Killzone 2 does not support co-op (at least not a launch), that the single player is awesome and that bots are available in multiplayer. So when we, Dutch games website Gaming Only, got the chance to talk to Arjan Brussee, the Development Director at Guerrilla Games, we talked about something different than Killzone 2.

We asked him what happens at a dev's offices once a game goes gold, what they do on launch day and of course what is next for Guerrilla? He couldn't tell us what is next, but they are already working on the next thing. Plus, he admitted that the whole team is constantly checking N4G at this moment for new reviews of Killzone 2.

The interview is in Dutch, but we added English subtitles so everyone can understand!

I can't tell you how many times I read a comment that said "Why are you guys hyping KZ2 when the first one sucked?" Now they see why. Now GG gets to tell the whole world "I told you so."

So glad they managed to live up to that unbelievable tech demo. Can't wait to pick this game up.

Now, and forever, whenever someone starts to say a game that was too ambitious for the hardware on which it was produced should not be made on a more powerful system, we can point to Killzone 2 as a prime example.

Now if only Sony would advertise the game like they did Resistance 2.

jcgamer5543d ago

and GG should win an award for the most addictive demo..lol..how many times have i played it? i've lost count! lol :)

pwnsause5543d ago

same here, all the naysayers got Bit*hslapped by GG. as what the Initials state, GG naysaayers.

RROD4TIMES5543d ago

they do need to advertise.. but it's also a no brainer for gamers... but to the average casual gamers... mostly they would want something to help them to decide if they want to pick it up... or a ps3 console even.. sony needs to push the message to casual gamers.. like... a big as billboard in times square or somethin' statin' that this game is gonna blow your fvckin' mind

hazeblaze5543d ago

Yea, GG did a great job proving a great many ppl wrong with KZ2!!! I do wonder where they will take their next game... they've only done FPS titles so I'm sure it will be another, but I wonder will it be inside the KZ universe. I do hope so actually... some of the weapons & vehicles of KZ seem very interesting and I'd like to see them expand on them in the next game.

They'll probably forego KZ3 at first, instead concentrating on something they've wanted to get out of their systems for a while. A low pressure project, if you will. Probably "World Curling Championships 2010."

Aclay5543d ago

Some may disagree with me, but I would actually like for Guerrilla to do something new for the next project, and do the next Killzone on the next Playstation. I mean, there's just so many shooters on the market and plenty of upcoming shooters, both multiplatform and PS3 exclusive shooters and it would be nice to see what else Guerrilla could do other than FPS.

Jaffe's game hasn't been confirmed (although it's most likely Twisted Metal), but if Jaffe's game isn't Twisted Metal, I'd like to see Guerrilla collaborate with Incognito to make the most epic Car Combat game this world has ever seen.

pwnsause5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

Warhawk 2 with the killzone 2 engine would be an epic win, but with the same Warhawk art style, with amazing visuals and a campaign mode.

Giriath5543d ago

Warhawk 2 on a deferred rendering engine of its own would be awesome, what with all the light sources and postprocessing effects you can have running on it. Warhawk 2 wouldn't work well with Killzone 2's engine because Warhawk 2 shouldn't have the hit response system and isn't in first person.

People don't seem to get that most engines are designed specifically for the game the developers are making. Engines like the Unreal Engine and Sony's own EDGE are developed to be used by anyone, not Killzone 2's engine.

swinesucker5543d ago

still we can only hope

me luv warhawk

outlawlife5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

it bothers me when people put things in like "By now everybody knows that Killzone 2 does not support co-op (at least not a launch),"

thats just implying that it will get co-op, and there has been zero indication or evidence that it will ever receive such a thing ... thats where rumors start ladies and gentlemen

Pennywise5543d ago

They have made statements recently that hints at it. GG know Coop should of been in the game... at least online coop. With a team already following you through out the game it shouldnt have been ignored.

gametheory5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

You'd realize there IS evidence suggesting it's possible. Not surely, but possibly.

Edit:

Damn it, penny! You beat me to it, so I pressed disagree.

Brodiesan5543d ago

Here is just ONE link to a site that covered the fact that GG are looking into Co-op.

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.

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-ro46d ago

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

darthv7246d 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_46d ago

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

Cacabunga46d ago

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

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d 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

seanpitt2346d 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!

Iceball200046d ago

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

Father__Merrin46d ago

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

InUrFoxHole46d ago

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

Marcus Fenix46d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198946d ago

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

1Victor46d ago (Edited 46d 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 😱

Michiel198946d 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.

1Victor350d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar350d ago

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

jznrpg350d ago

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

badz149350d 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!

Vengeance1138350d 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 Kim350d ago

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

VersusDMC350d 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?

Vengeance1138350d ago

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

solideagle350d 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.

Phoenix76350d 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

REDGUM350d ago

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

thesoftware730350d ago (Edited 350d 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.

blacktiger350d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca350d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal350d ago

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

Imalwaysright350d ago

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

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183722d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183722d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149722d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
