Killzone2 "Napalm and Petrusite" Map pack Dated and Priced

The officiel Japanese Killzone2 website has updated earlier today with a new article appearing on the 'DLC' section of the page. We learn that the third Killzone2 Map pack "Napalm and Petrusite" will be released on July 23rd and cost 800 Yen (5.99 Euros). Two new maps, "Suljeva Cliffside" and "Arctower Landing" will be introduced. Moreover, two new weapons will make their way into the multiplayer mode, those being the flamethrower and boltgun. Last but not least, 8 new trophies will be added.

whatever happened to the new single-player episodes the devs hinted at before the game launched. i'm sick of game after game releasing nothing but map-packs for dlc. don't get me wrong.........maps are fine but i was hoping there would be a little more variety.

redsquad5826d ago

Agreed. I'll happiliy take the multiplayer maps, but those of us who favour a single player experience (and I admit, I realise we're probably a minority) get overlooked far too often.

deshon095826d ago

don't you think they would still be working on that if it still going to happen look how long it took for the game to come out so if it still happens at the soonest i think we would hear about it later in the year to tell you the truth i don't think we will see it this year or at all if i had to chose between more single player dlc or them starting on killzon 3 my pick would be killzon 3 but if they did say something about single player dlc it mite happen but im ok with the multi player maps

Nelson M5826d ago

But a Zombi Helghast Mode (Co-op) Would be Cool

Zaynal5826d ago

Weird. There's no info on this at Killzone.com English website. Could this be limited to Japan region only?

jessehaysfl5826d ago

no it's just a leak, it was not supposed to be on the japanese site, wait a couple hours and I bet it's gone...

The map pack is real and coming...this is proof...However I was reading on GOONLINE that SCEE has denied this....but SCEE is wrong.

As far as single player....I'd imagine in about a moth or so you will hear more...although I could be wrong. I think this will be the second to last MP extension for KZ2. in other words there still should be 1 more map pack after this one.

kratos1235826d ago

i am not getting this the other news is saying there wont be any new maps and then this comes allong really weird hope this one is treu

PirateThom5826d ago

I hope one of the maps is like Southern Hills and has some sort of timed danger.

Qui-Gon Jim5826d ago

The word "Napalm" makes me think it could. Haven't played the Flash & Thunder maps, but they sound really cool.

ChrisTiffer5826d ago

... YES I was hoping they'd add the more exotic weapons into the multiplayer; WOOHOOOO!

ID IR A G 0 N5826d ago (Edited 5826d ago )

cool they are adding two more weapons to unbalance the game for the garbage players. those two new weapon will do nothing but cause complaints. knowing the kz community they are already complaining about the weapons. at least they didnt add the electricity gun.

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

OtterX242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne241d ago (Edited 241d 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-ro242d ago

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

just_looken241d 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

MDTunkown242d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72242d 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_looken241d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya241d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast242d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood241d 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.

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-ro470d ago

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

darthv72470d 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_470d ago

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

Cacabunga470d ago

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

Profchaos470d ago (Edited 470d 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

seanpitt23470d 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!

Iceball2000471d ago

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

Father__Merrin471d ago

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

InUrFoxHole471d ago

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

Marcus Fenix471d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989470d ago

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

1Victor471d ago (Edited 471d 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 😱

Michiel1989470d 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.

1Victor775d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar775d ago

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

jznrpg774d ago

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

badz149774d 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!

Vengeance1138775d 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 Kim775d ago

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

VersusDMC775d 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?

Vengeance1138775d ago

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

solideagle775d 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.

Phoenix76775d 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

REDGUM774d ago

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

thesoftware730775d ago (Edited 775d 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.

blacktiger774d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca775d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy775d ago (Edited 775d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain774d ago

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

Imalwaysright774d ago

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