"It's been a long time coming, but Killzone 2 is finally here. After spending the past 5 days with the games single and multi-player, I feel I'm finally ready to hand in my verdict.
In short, Killzone 2 is an epic, intense, and overall satisfying FPS experience, and I can't help but recommend it to everyone that is into FPS titles, regardless of the platform you own. If you are a fan of the FPS genre, and never saw reason to pick up a PS3, then this is it."
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

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."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
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.
I fuccin' love Killzone 2!
But i'm stuck right at the effing end in the palace. I made the mistake of doing first time in hard mode and it wasnt so bad untill now. Just keep getting me ass handed to me.
I'm playing SP on hard with no hud and crosshair.. :D
made it to the palace.. but then it's gets hard coz Rico's A.I. lacks the I part...
This game makes CoD4 and WaW look like dirt. I tried playing COD yesterday and the graphics is awful compared to the new standards that Killzone 2 has set. K2 multiplayer online looks just as amazing as its single player component.
I'm playing on hard, and it FKN is.
Just passed the bit where you have to overrun the AA gun. Man its hard, I must of dont it 30 times and was starting to get frustrated when I remember what I said here the other day.
Theres always a certain tactic that will work. Dont keep doing the same thing if its not happening, try something new. Pretty soon you find the right path or gun type and you'll say, why didn't I try that first?
PS
I gotta say, N4G has bee awfully boring all weekend. I've been checking in occassionally and its just been dull, with no one really talking about anything interesting.
Seem everyones busy with Killzone. Anyone else notice the activity here has dropped off in the last couple of days?
