GamePro grills Killzone 2 producer Steven Ter Heide

GamePro's Sid Shuman grills Killzone 2 producer Steven Ter Heide about the lethal planet of Helghan and Killzone 2's new gameplay...including jumping!

wil4hire6034d ago

"It's pretty obvious (at least to us) that Killzone 2 has some of the best graphics ever seen."

All killzone needs to do is be an entertaining FPS w/entertaining story, normal controls with 6 axis options.

The rest of the games engine seems to be a technological stepping stone for the way games will be made in the future. One can only hope that the entire game world can appreciate the leaps and bounds this team is trying to make here.

Kudos for the post.

fenderputty6034d ago

It's a shame that some will totally ignore that simple fact.

IdontTakeSides6034d ago (Edited 6034d ago )

I agree also it's nice to see Killzone finally getting the props it deserves..cuz I played the first one and it wasn't total crap as everyone made it out to be...i have no doubt that KLZ2..will be a great game...now we need is for ppl to stop comparing it to certain games cuz it's in a league by itself at this point in time..!!

harpua6034d ago

"It is not a luxury to have Blu-ray, but rather a necessity. I mean, the level that we showed at E3 topped out around 2GB!"

DVD9 = last gen

TheHater6034d ago

agree that blue ray is need this generation of gaming. Come on 2 Gigs per level? That insane by itself. I wounder if they will be the second to use a 50GB Blue Ray disk. MGS 4 is also using a 50GB Blue Ray disk

beast6034d ago

I am proud of them how they manage to live up to E3 when everyone and there mother had them doomed.

wil4hire6034d ago

footage looks just as good as the target. NO ONE said peep about it either.

pwnsause6034d ago

hopefully they can bring the hair/fur to life, cause that was one of the things that made me go beserk about the 2005 trailer

wil4hire6034d ago

hair interpolation between polygons, or just spline driven hair.. Its not a pretty sight come calculation time.

Hair alone on a sphere in 3dsudiomax\Using Shave & Haircut. Or In Maya is probably 30 seconds to render at 640X480.With no shadows, or anything just to see a puff of hair. This is on a quad core machine. I doubt the PS3 could do that, AND the rest of the calculations for KZ2 at any decent rate.

THe hair looks OK.

mesh16034d ago

key thing to get from this article is that when asked how they got this graphics its not the cell or the ps3 power that did it its a blue ray "( we al know disk space means nothing in terms of grpaics)"so this confirms to me that killzone 2 can be easily done on the 360 as u can store texture in other areas except the cd and also look at mass effect its not scrptied like kz2 which has narrow linear lvls an dmass effect has 60hr gameplay while kz2 will have like 10hr still mass effect has amazing grpics like cgi and gow imagine the made this game for 360 it ud look better than the ps3 version.

Are sounding really positive hopefully the game will live up to it or surpass it. Either way that was a great read.

ActionBastard6034d ago

...for 360 fans. It looks better than ANYTHING on ANY console EVER. I see people constantly hating on Killzone. "The PS2 Killzone sucked. Blah, Blah, Blah". Killzone was ok, not great, but not sh1t. Killzone Liberation was great. Killzone 2 looks amazing. So many haters before E3 got STFU after it was shown. Gotta love it.

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-ro46d ago

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

darthv7246d 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_46d ago

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

Cacabunga46d ago

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

Profchaos45d ago (Edited 45d 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

seanpitt2345d 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!

Iceball200046d ago

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

Father__Merrin46d ago

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

InUrFoxHole46d ago

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

Marcus Fenix46d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198946d ago

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

1Victor46d ago (Edited 46d 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 😱

Michiel198946d 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.

1Victor350d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar350d ago

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

jznrpg349d ago

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

badz149349d 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!

Vengeance1138350d 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 Kim350d ago

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

VersusDMC350d 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?

Vengeance1138350d ago

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

solideagle350d 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.

Phoenix76350d 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

REDGUM349d ago

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

thesoftware730350d ago (Edited 350d 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.

blacktiger349d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca350d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal350d ago

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

Imalwaysright350d 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."

shinoff2183721d ago

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

shinoff2183721d 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

badz149721d 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.
