Killzone the franchise has been somewhat star-crossed since the beginning. Hyped up by the press as a "Halo killer," the original Killzone fell a bit short of initial expectations. Some ambitious design was marred by bugs and glitches in the gameplay, which dragged down review scores into the decidedly "average" range.
After a well received PSP spinoff, Killzone 2 has finally hit store shelves. The game has had to shoulder enormous expectations from its first unveiling, with many questioning the veracity of the first teaser trailer shown of the game. It was up to Sony to prove the doubters wrong and win converts with the promotional campaign before and after the game's launch.
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
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.
Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.
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.
Only Killzone 2 ads i've seen here in Sweden are, those who are sponsored through "Two and Half men".
Other than that, i've seen nada.. Nothing.
Sales figures will soon tell if the advertising for Killzone 2 had any effect.
Scott Steinberg could be no momre correct. PLAYSTATION®3 holds host to all of the top-notch AAA exclusives this year. Dark Sniper has already pre-ordered each and every PLAYSTATION®3 exclusive that is booked from now until 2011.
What is even more impressive is the evenflow of variety that Sony's breathtaking terminal provides. Dishing out AAA titles in all genres, packaging innovation and unique gameplay in each software gives you the consumer the best bang for your buck.
Not only is 2009 the year of the PLAYSTATION®3, but it is the official date of the demise of Microsoft's green machine that couldn't. Dark Sniper is jumping for joy with orgasmic feelings of this thought coming to reality.
