GOONL!NE writes: Killzone 2 has the first ever video game to be a recipient of a prestigious Ivor Novello award.
The game was nominated for 'Best Original Video Game Score' alongside Empire: Total War and and Savage Moon: Waldgeist. The score was written by Joris de Man who also wrote the music for the first Killzone title.
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.
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."
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.
loved the soundtrack.
KILLZONE was a awsome game and i'm glad it still win awards because Killzone 3 is coming and it's going to be mine blowing.
great soundtrack
Very nice. Video game scores are often one of the most overlooked, yet absolutely essential elements of any game, especially action-packed games such as Killzone 2. Games are an inherently disconnected experience, something that no amounts of intense battles and gunfire can entirely overcome. What is needed for a truly connected, immersive experience is either a fantastic story or a fantastic soundtrack. And Killzone 2 really did have a fantastic soundtrack. Every time the music starts up, my emotions rise and it turns from a game into something else entirely. And then there's that intro to the game: the excellent voice acting and the more subtle but epic music make the intro really come to life, and I can't help but watch it every time I start the game up.
So yeah, like I said, absolutely essential. And it's nice to see Killzone 2 get recognized for this, as the soundtrack does a first-rate job in both style and purpose.
I liked the main menu music the most.
