Sure, the game's not dominating the PS3 scene like it was probably hoped it would, but Guerilla are still banging away on updates for Killzone 2, the latest of which appears to take the form of some new DLC.
Reader Corey sends us this list of trophies for the game, which were updated today to include mention of stuff not previously spoken of by Sony or Guerilla. It appears there'll be two new maps - "Suljeva Cliffside" and "Arctower Landing" - along with two new weapons, a Boltgun and a Flamethrower.
No idea on when these will actually appear, or how much they'll cost, but if they're turning up on official trophy lists, they can't be too far away.
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.
A journalist isn't supposed to be a Fanbot! geez. And my reasons to never use kotaku grow by the day!
i believe the power switch is broken because it turns off after turning on... my 42inch tv had the same type of problem. i will be getting this DLC after sony fixs my ps3... i am glad i have my third in four years "long green mile" running 360 in the living room to tie me over.. i just hope my 360 stays alive until then...lol
WTF the host paused the game in gears2 in horde mode for 5 minutes then quits... forget this shiat.. i am going back to true gaming. i am dusting off my ps2 and going to play shadow/colossus.
I have a feeling the bolt gun is going to be either ridiculous overpowered or ridiculous weak. In the game, it was basically one hit kill/attached to a wall.
The flamethrower will, probably, turn into a close quarters death trap at a spawn point, but be useless for any long range fighting, maybe it will combat the shotgun a bit.
These have got to be free or atleast the weapons. I can't imagine how they would seperate people by giving those who pay more an advantage in weapon selection.
If they cost money i'll buy them anyways. I love this game, play it more than CoD4 now.
I think they will give the engineer the bolt gun since he lacks another main weapon and the bolt gun is a workers weapon. They will probably have a new class for the flamethrower. Pyro time anyone? HUDAHUDAHUDA
ah finally I cant ditch my rocket and shotgun :)
This should be good, hopefully its free
