FPS Week: KILLZONE

Everyone who has a Wii should play a Metroid Prime game.
Eveybody who has an Xbox 360 should play a Halo game.
Everybody who has a PS3, should definitely play a Killzone game.

If there was a competition to determine which video game genre currently has the most game releases under it’s belt and is the most selling in the market, I’m pretty sure the First Person Shooter genre would take the crown.

Not the best shooters, but I do love them

ShadyDevil4729d ago

Sadly I feel after reading this, I cannot call myself a gamer after not having played Killzone 3 yet. I played Killzone 2, but Killzone 3 looked like more of the same. Not always a bad thing but meh. I might have to pick it up.

NanoSoldier4729d ago

I've been through KZ3 2x and it's a nice FPS. It's not really worse compared to KZ2. There are few things GG should have done better. GG had a lot of pressure doing KZ3 cause of so many critics and so they tried to hard to make part 3 perfect. But still I find it laughable when people who enjoyd KZ2 say KZ3 is crap. That's not fair. Both are very special FPS.

mayberry4729d ago

I really love both K2/3! Everyone who watches me play who has never seen them in action always have's a "jaw dropping" reaction! I love it! Then they play and comment on how hardcore they are! I think they a little too much for the more casual gamer type!

ZombieAssassin4729d ago

Love Killzone, still think Kz2 is the best but 3 is still a great game.

kikizoo4729d ago (Edited 4729d ago )

Even if kz3 has no mp (it's really good, but some kz2 features where missing at launch), the solo is far better than most of the fps available ! + 3D + move sharpshooter + graphics, atmosphere, etc , ...

xfanboys are so frustrated and desperated that they wanted too see some biased reviews, or some real deceptions (party game) to write day after day "it's trash" here, even if the metacritic score is great (and don't forget a 17,5 for a ps3 game = 19 or more for the others)...the funniest part, it's that they love crysis 2, who has nothing to beat kz3 (solo, mp, graphics, 3D, move, etc)

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff218315d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken15d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff218315d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken15d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga14d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga14d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows9015d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack14d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike15d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde15d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor14d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie14d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut8514d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno15d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf15d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken15d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff218315d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH15d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE15d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH15d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner15d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel198914d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel198914d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long15d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole14d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long14d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb15d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX15d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

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.

OtterX105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

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-ro104d ago

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

darthv72104d 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_104d ago

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

Cacabunga104d ago

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

Profchaos104d ago (Edited 104d 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

seanpitt23104d 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!

Iceball2000104d ago

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

Father__Merrin104d ago

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

InUrFoxHole104d ago

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

Marcus Fenix104d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989104d ago

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

1Victor104d ago (Edited 104d 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 😱

Michiel1989104d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Killzone wasn’t a Halo killer, but a PS5 remake could come close

The first Killzone game never met lofty expectations of dethroning Xbox’s Halo, but if any game needs a PS5 remake, this is the one.

Vits154d ago

I like Halo, but I don't think there is any need for a 'Halo Killer' at this point. If anything, the franchise is slowly undermining itself by making some of the dumbest mistakes possible. Infinite has finally reached a good point in terms of multiplayer, but it took an extra 2 years to get there. Meanwhile, the single-player experience is fine but rather mediocre when compared to the franchise peak.

That said, I would like to see the Killzone franchise back, if anything, to offer more variety to the PS5 exclusive catalog.

_SilverHawk_154d ago

sony should remaster all killzone games and bring back killzone multiplayer that is very similar to the style of killzone 2 multiplayer.

Cacabunga154d ago

Halo killed itself after Halo Reach.
Killzone went a little down in quality with SF on PS4 and I wish they kept them coming..

InUrFoxHole154d ago

??? Halo is doing great right now. I wouldn't mind seeing a kz2 mp rebirth

Cacabunga153d ago

Spawn grenade tactician class my favorite..

darthv72154d ago

I'd love a killzone trilogy, fully remastered on a single disc like they did with Uncharted. Maybe they could make it the full killzone saga including PSP and Vita games converted to console.

REDGUM154d ago

Yes please. Put me down for a copy, price irrelevant too. Loved allow those games in the franchise :)

Chocoburger154d ago

I've never liked the idea of a 'franchise killer', why can't both thrive, without one killing off the other? Its such a childish mentality.

That being said, if there ever was a true 'Halo killer', then it would have to be 343 Studios, and the Xbox division. They're doing a fine job killing off their own IP, apparently.

Profchaos154d ago

Cause console wars mostly drove the halo v killzone thing

Eonjay154d ago

And media co.panies like IGN drove the console wars for clicks.

Profchaos154d ago

@eonjay
Yeah and I still cringe super hard when IGN runs their next gen console watch segment 3 years into the consoles lifecycle we are approaching midgen likely by December and they are out there milking clicks like it's mid 2020 and were starved for information

ModsDoBetter154d ago

Halo doesn't need to be killed, they've done that themselves. It's a shell of its former self.

Zeref154d ago

And yet Halo is still here. Where is Killzone? Resistance? Haze? All the supposed "Halo Killers" are dead franchises 😂

DarXyde154d ago (Edited 154d ago )

"Dead" really isn't the right word for any of these franchises (except Haze). You're also calling these games dead for different reasons. oIMyersIo is saying a Halo is dead because it is not what it used to be and is saying it has gotten much worse. You are saying those franchises faded into obscurity and no one cares. I also find it funny that your first reaction is to name PlayStation franchises because you perceived their comment as a slight against Xbox. I hope you're at the very least part of their ambassador program...

Anyone that sees Killzone as dead is pretty myopic. A decade since their last Killzone, but they themselves have developed two full games since Shadow Fall. That's not many in context at all.

Resistance is a bit less clear. Insomniac is pretty tied up at the moment. Including all of their games on all platforms and ignoring Spider-Man Remastered, we're looking at 23 games since Resistance 3. That's alarmingly prolific and still no R4. My guess? In the modern era, a new Resistance is probably going to have to be a live service and Insomniac is not that studio.

I don't think it's dead though. Not at all.

Gaming4Life1981154d ago

Halo infinite is still the best exclusive fps and is doing great but you think it's dead lol. Its also one of the top fps games out here so i dont get where your coming from. Just because you don't play it does not mean it's dead or dying.

I liked killzone 1 & 2 and I think Sony should bring it back along with resistance cause they are in need of more variety in their first party lineup. Sony & MS are sitting on some great franchises that need a revival.

ModsDoBetter153d ago

"Just because you don't play it"

And there your argument was derailed.
Through making such an assumption, you have only served to show that your response is that of a fanboy and any criticism of your beloved franchises is met with speculation in order to downplay any counter argument.

As a matter of fact, as many in team blue on this site will tell you, I often do defend Xbox just as much as I defend PS, so for you to make such a silly comment is laughable.

I have played plenty of Halo: Infinite - on Series S, Series X and PC via Steam. To say the game comes anywhere near the franchise greats such as Combat Evolved and Halo 2 is delusional. The franchise is a shell of its former self and that is a FACT.

It absolutely isn't the best fps exclusive but at this point we're arguing over preferences which is pointlessly subjective.

Where I do agree is that a Resistance comeback would be great for Sony.

DrDoomer154d ago

I'd take Killzone and Resistance over Halo any day.
