... epic to say the least.

UltraNova5239d ago

Epic Indeed.. I m on my 4th play-through as we speak. This game is awesome everybody should play it.

Blacksand15239d ago (Edited 5239d ago )

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.

MexicanAppleThief5239d ago

Oh man, I'm frothing at the mouth just by thinking about it. Cell tech has come so far now. Can't wait to see how they incoporate 2048x2048 size textures and 16x MLAA.

Killzone 3 will be made nothing but eyegasms.

nveenio5239d ago

Where did you get those numbers? Different games do different things. The Killzone 2 engine may not be able to squeeze all of that in with all of the insane things that are happening at any given time (volumetric smoke, lens effects, hit reactions, etc, etc). But, if they do, I'll have to keep a box of jizzing tissues next to the TV.

Totally True Guys, KZ3 Will be Freaking Awesome!

poindat5239d ago

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.

arakouftaian5239d ago

To get in the mod and then the sond hit

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-ro199d ago

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

darthv72199d 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_199d ago

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

Cacabunga199d ago

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

Profchaos199d ago (Edited 199d 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

seanpitt23199d 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!

Iceball2000199d ago

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

Father__Merrin199d ago

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

InUrFoxHole199d ago

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

Marcus Fenix199d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989199d ago

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

1Victor199d ago (Edited 199d 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 😱

Michiel1989199d 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.

1Victor503d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar503d ago

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

jznrpg503d ago

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

badz149502d 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!

Vengeance1138503d 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 Kim503d ago

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

VersusDMC503d 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?

Vengeance1138503d ago

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

solideagle503d 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.

Phoenix76503d 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

REDGUM503d ago

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

thesoftware730503d ago (Edited 503d 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.

blacktiger503d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca503d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal503d ago

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

Imalwaysright503d ago

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

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

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."

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183874d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149874d ago

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.
