I am sorry if the story is not up to standards but this is my first story and I found it while on the web

ShiftyLookingCow6500d ago

hmm there is a surprising resemblance to Helghast, any source? or you found it on your own?

MikeMichaels6499d ago

I've always thought the Helgast were inspired by "Jin Roh".

Fire that into google images and see what you get. Told ya!

Douche6499d ago

Jin-Roh came well after The Red Spectacles...actually read the story...KZ2's inspiration came from WW2 overall when it comes to the helghast gas masks and attire...The only thing you can pin GG on with Killzone's influences is the Helghast's look, everything else is "pretty" original like the storyline and the other factions

geachy6500d ago

it just says under influences

[edit] Influences
Killzone a video game series by Guerrilla Games (Netherlands), 2004~2006.

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation38d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear2138d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon38d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga38d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage38d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing38d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga44d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM43d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box43d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia44d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac42d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE44d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM43d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB43d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion43d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps44d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai139d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga138d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid138d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness138d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt138d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider137d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH137d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn138d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion138d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
