The announcement that a sequel to Homefront, a game that lead to the demise of of its developer and help bankrupt its publisher, has stumped many in the gaming community. Yet gamers forget that not every title has been a hit the first time while a few went through a slump before being redeemed.
Game Designer Andrew Willans looks back at Driver: San Francisco’s legacy.
Now we get The Crew games instead 🙄
Would love and much prefer a sequel to this.
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
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.
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.
considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support
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
Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.
Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.
Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.
I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.
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.
They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.
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.
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.
It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...
A Homefront sequel may have stumped gamers but we forget some classics had a hard start before becoming hits.
I think that's not the case here, because the game is great but it had poor sale numbers, anyway, i really want a sequel for Vanquish.
A new Mercenaries would be cool too.
I don't understand all these things about being "stumped" or "surprised" that Crytek is making a homefront sequel. All of this was announced well over 2, possibly even 3 years ago. Are all these writers like 16 years old and didn't read video game news 3 years ago. It was all over the place, Crytek was making homefront, thq was gonna publish. (Rumored release was 2014 or 15) Thq goes under, Crytek buys the rights to homefront and continues on making it. This is all very old news, and yet, I keep reading these articles about "old of left field comes homefront 2" lol wtf? "Who knew a homefront was coming". Bunch of dummies I tell ya
Bayonetta was a massive retail flop, which is why Nintendo had to bail out the developer to get the sequel made. Loads of the best games perform really badly at retail - look at System Shock 2 and the original Deus Ex - because too many gamers refuse to put their money where their mouth is, bemoaning the lack of innovative new game ideas but all too happy to shell out a wad of cash for the latest installment in Generic Modern Combat FPS every single year.
"Driver" was a fail? I never realized... All I know is my cousin was in the top 5 on the leaderboards for the PS3 version for a long time... I guess that alone could tell me that the game failed.. He's nowhere near a "professional" gamer to be that high on the leaderboards...
