GamePro: Resistance 2 vs Killzone 2

Master Chief may have pwned 2007, but he's about to get trounced by two heavyweights. Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 are slated for a fall release, priming 2008 to be the banner year for shooters. Even better, PlayStation 3 should see a big boost due to the exclusivity of these games to the console. Both are gunning for the spotlight, but it will be up to gamers to decide which comes out in the lead. GamePro dissect both shooters, giving you a heads-up as to what you can expect from two of this year's most anticipated titles.

Relcom6602d ago

Gamepro says they would prefer Resistance 2, but i say its like choosing between kids. I love them both equally in there own way.

Expy6602d ago

Indeed, both are welcomed in my PS3 library.

Rice6602d ago

im gonna get these games on day 1, no exceptions...

CeruleanSky6602d ago (Edited 6602d ago )

"Why compete?"

Resistance 2 is the excuse the gaming media will use to downplay to outright trash Killzone 2.

This same article will be repeated in various forms over and over again in 2008. Even if it is sugarcoated in feint praise of various forms.

Say good things about R2 so you have free pass at trashing KZ2.

Praising R2 is fine since Insomniac is seen as a miracle developer and praising their games can be portrayed as just a really good developer doing their magic and not anything about the underlying PS3's graphical power.

Whereas KZ2 is seen as validation of the huge PS3 graphical power advantage with an engine that the 360 will never be able to run. The rage and bitterness towards Gurilla for matching their target render of what so many fans of other consoles and the gaming media all claimed would never be possible until the PS4 is beyond any other game in history.

sonarus6602d ago

never thought we would see competition between two exclusive games at least not for a while. We havnt seen resistance 2 in motion but considering its insomniac we know what to expect and resistance 2 is definetly the shooter to give killzone 2 a run for its money. In the end resistance 2 will probably and i am casting my vote for resistance. All they need to do is include vehicles online i hate online games without vehicles.But easilly they both earned my 60 bucks

solidt126602d ago

Same, im buying both either way so they both win.

MikeGdaGod6602d ago

it was the first FPS i'd completed since DOOM

these will probably be the only FPSs i buy all year

nix6602d ago

THEY'RE BOTH FOR PS3!!!

i love this... the best two next-gen games competing with each other and they both belong to PS3. i wonder how the MS biased sites will twist this. both games will win hearts.

FPS lovers.. you know what your favourite machine is.

leon766601d ago

I don't see the meaning of this competition too!! both are games for the same console and both are MUST HAVE games for all owners of the PS3 (except for guys that don't like FPS)...of course i will buy BOTH of them!

liquidsnake6601d ago (Edited 6601d ago )

Will buy both of them as well, but I'm a little more hyped about KZ2. The graphics looks better, and I don't know but it feels like a solid game somehow. More "realistic" and the atmosphere of KZ is dark...me like it.

SIX6601d ago

Exactly! Everyone I know that has a PS3 would not miss either of these games for anything. They can both come out at the same time and they will both sell equally well.

Resistence vs Killzone = No competition for your money

BrianC62346601d ago

I'm with you. I'm buying both. Sony has some great games coming out over the next couple years.

BrianC62346601d ago

"I don't see the meaning of this competition too!!"

Can you say slow day at the Gamepro office? That's about what it comes down to. There isn't a good reason to do the comparison other than nothing else worth writing about. But that will change soon with GDC coming up.

i Shank u6601d ago (Edited 6601d ago )

i know as a FPS fan im gonna have to buy a ps3 and get both. and mgs4! ( had to mention mgs4) this year + last year = FPS heaven :)

paracardium6602d ago

I agree I'm buying both..no need to compare.

THE_JUDGE6601d ago

I guess you know your doing something right when people start comparing two exclusive shooters on your console to each other. I'm getting both and I hyped about both. Can't wait to hear more out of either camp.

mullet6602d ago

Who cares? Looking forward to both.

shine13966602d ago

If their going to compete, Killzone 2 better be 1 and half games in one cause Resistance 2 seems like its going to take one hell of beating...
Still, I'm buying both on day 1.

sonarus6602d ago

if resistance 2 delivers on the 60fps as well as 60 player online and 8 player coop it will definetly be the shooter of the yr unless there are unnanounced shooters that we havnt heard of. We havnt seen that much of killzone so we can still give them the benefit of the doubt. Killzone gameplay vids still make me want to play the animations and the blood are the most realistc ever.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

S2Killinit474d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist474d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981474d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2474d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist474d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981474d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno474d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX491d ago (Edited 491d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne491d ago (Edited 491d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro491d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken491d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown491d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72491d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken491d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya490d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast491d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood491d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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.

OtterX720d ago (Edited 720d 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-ro720d ago

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

darthv72720d 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_720d ago

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

Cacabunga720d ago

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

Profchaos720d ago (Edited 720d 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

seanpitt23720d 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!

Iceball2000720d ago

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

Father__Merrin720d ago

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

InUrFoxHole720d ago

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

Marcus Fenix720d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989720d ago

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

1Victor720d ago (Edited 720d 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 😱

Michiel1989720d ago

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