Not much difference. BOth are overhyped sequels to average and generic shooters which will end up in 80s or 70s score.

Apart from fact theyre both overhyped crap?

hmm.. dunno.. ps3 sucks for games, i mean seriously.. they hype their games up and it gets owned in the long run.

Going to have to pick up the first resistance to get the gist of the story.

they're both for me. it isn't like buying both is buying 2 copies of same game! i'm looking forward to both and am glad there is a few months to play resistance before KZ comes out.

“Kill zone 2? is in the “Call of Duty 4” league"

Graphically or game play wise???

Its too early to compare the two. Secondly we don't know nothing about Resistance 2 singleplayer and we don't know anything about Killzone 2 multiplayer. What we do know is that both games will be kick ass & they will both be remarkable technical achievements. Secondly both game has different pacing. Resistance 2 is more of a run and gun shooter, while Killzone 2 is touch faster than Gears of War, it is still slower and more strategic shooter, with all the duck and cover mechanics. Both games will look stunning. If we believe the word from Insomniac, which I believe is that the game looks better than the teaser then we are in for some visual treat;)
For me both games are of equal importance and I would have gotten both games if they were released together:D

Give me a break, I run CoD4 all on full settings on my PC and it still doesn't look as nice as killzone 2, typical sony hating here. Call of Duty 4's engine is 5 years old with updates, if you play the first 2 games on PC there's more than a striking resemblance between them and the 4th game.

I think Resistance can hurt Killzone if the Multiplayer in Resistance was excellent and by the time Killzone comes out the gamers won't be ready to move on to a new shooter, Call of Duty 4 comes to mind since it was the most played game online on both consoles up 'til GTA 4 came out and that's more than 5 months.

For me I'm sure I'll be buying Resistance 2 because I loved the 1st but I'll wait and see how Killzone turns out before I decide.

GUYS AS IVE SAID BEFORE ,MTV.NET IOS SOOOOOO PROO SONY FOR OVious reseon half their electronic equipemtn sare sony made if u track them you will see they only hype anything sony related mtv.net is a joke and dont have a clue about games they should stick to music

Lets see, they're both fps

They both have aliens in them

They're both sony titles

That settles it, these games are identical!!!!

Lets do an Xbox one now.

Halo + Prey

They are both FPS

They both have aliens

They both have chiefs in them (Master cheif/indian chief)

Wow, two more identical games!

Better lighting (far better)
Better textures (sometimes slightly, sometimes a lot)
Better character models (always much better)
Better real-time physics (COD4 everything was canned)
Better effects (such as things falling apart realistically)

Saying it's in the COD4 league is the latest attempt to take away the game's hype without being obvious about it. Killzone2's ground textures alone are absolutely incredible for a game of that scale. It is simply the most natural lighting ever used on a console. Crysis is still better in some areas, notably textures, but that's about it.

One looks great the other one looks crap

resistance 2 is going to be great and killzone 2 is going to flop like the first game ...since when did graphics make a game good?

exclusive thats right there ps3 only not like bioshock,mass effect,lost planet etc that kind of sums it up right there 360 is losing a lot of so called exclusives could gears be next to switch lets face it the contract finishes between epic and ms soon,who has the rights to this ip we really don,t know for sure.

whats the difference?? i could care less about diferences between these two i want them both insonmiac have my money in anything they do from now on and killzone 2 im currently playing liberation on my psp and im loving it i hope they use some of the weapons from liberation in killzone 2

Crysis can be done on consoles are at least ps3 due to the engine they used is xtremely similiar to the ps3 architecture. The only thing that may be down is the resolution instead of playing it on 2600X1600 or something youl be playing it on like 1300X1080i with slightly lower frame rate of maybe like 40fps instead of a 50-60fps on a incredibly strong game pc.

Back on Topic:
The only difference I see so far 1 is faster paced with lower graphics. The other is slower paced with incredible graphics. They both have incredibly sized maps and tech wise are probably almost the same. I could see resistence3 if they wanted to achieve killzone2 graphics if they wanted to go that route of a graphically incredible game.

That was a nice article. I like single player campaigns more than multiplayer battles so KZ2 seems like it will be more my type of game. I just wish there was information about R2's single player campaign.

Resistance 2 is going to be a AAA FPS... I want Killzone 2 to prove itself. We haven't seen anything yet.

PS3 has taken over and the Xbox 360 fanboys are JEALOUS. HAHHAAHHAHA

different gameplay. I think that trying to even compare the two is ridiculous. I mean could you possibly wait until the games are complete to try and do a comparison. It will be a while til the both of them are out so be easy.

I'll be getting both. i think both are better.

Killzone 2 or Resistance 2?

Those poor poor PS3 owners have to make the unfortunate choice of playing Both.

/sarcasm

To me it's like asking Gears of War 2 or... Well, I guess that's it. Point is, people can buy both if necessary.

Resistance 2 = gameplay

Though I expect resistance 2 graphics to be killer. If they surpass killzone, what will be left for killzone?

doesn't matter.

i'll be owning both, and both are only available on the Playstation 3.

i'm excited about both for very different reasons. no need to compare them.

Which I think is really cool. They're trying to learn from each other, and make their respective games as different as possible.

they are both exclusive to ps3 without compromising them to be multiplatform.

k2 and r2 will do what they were intended to do:entertain and sell more console units.

megaton................

I'm more excited about Resistance 2 because I've played the original and I loved it. However, I will buy both games on the nights they are released.

I would like to note that Killzone 2 isn't in the same league graphically as Call of Duty 4. It looks infinitely better. CoD4 is a good-looking game, but it just can't compete with Killzone 2. Exclusivity has its advantages, and it appears that Killzone 2 will squeeze every ounce of performance out of the PS3, which is something CoD4 couldn't do because it is cross-platform. I'm not sure why the writer of this article chose to compare the two.

Hard to choose.
I don't have to stress over it cuz I'll be owning both.
Sony has the games no doubt about it.
Sony Devs really take their time making these games unlike some Microsoft Devs like Bungie.
2008 Sony has Resistance 2 to party with and in 2009 Killzone 2.
Wow, the party never ends for Sony.

unfortunately too many.

These franchises offend people too much. Better to make another walking simulator where you deliver packages.

Bring back ape escape

Sony really does need another mainline shooter franchise. They pretty much gave up after the PS3 generation, and I'm really surprised they haven't tried at another high-profile, singleplayer-centric shooter; even if it weren't Killzone or Resistance.

I miss Killzone while I can see why they still do Horizon has some really good things but I do think that Horizon is overrated imo.

Or how about studios focus on projects that they feel passionate about, and not be forced to make something they have little interest in. It shows in the final product.

It’s still got potential for the modern era. The DNA is all there. The install base is there. The interest is there. The time is now.

Killzone 2 and 3 were farkin brilliant and way better than halo

Too bad they've abandoned em smh, then theres sony barely even acknowledging what us fans want. Every time they sale a certain high amount it get like that with them smh

Because Killzone games are awesome, that's the reason.

New ip after 3'rd horizon please 🙏

Give it to Bungie. The Helghast are awesome enemies and Bungie could make something really cool

not enough interest to keep it alive

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.
