They seem to think Co-op will be added just after the release of the game via DLC.

This jumps out at me for a reason, not that I'm worried co-op may not be there straight out of the box but more that I wonder where all the development time is going, 5 years and they havent managed to get round to co-op yet? Either the visuals/presentation took a long time to achieve or everything else offered (single player, Multiplayer) are huge.

Personally, I see 4 player coming, your (from what we've seen) always within a squad of AI, that alone lends itself weel to easy co-op options. They can handle 32 player online so resources obviously arent a problem either.

Mind you, I'm not 100% on the site/source. So I'm not going to put much weight in it, hopefully someone like IGN get some info up soon. Or even GG online.

mistertwoturbo6522d ago

I think GG really did they're homework this time. They know what FPS fans want. And they aren't making any of the same mistakes as Killzone 1. So I think co-op is a must. Probably not 4 player co-op though, but definitely 2 player co-op. Also considering that there will always be that 1 supporting character that follows sev throughout the whole game.

As far as graphics, they've already proven they're worth on that front.

As for online, it looks interesting if they can somehow manage to "copy" COD4's perk system but mold it into they're own unique system with the whole Badges thing. It could be a hit.

Pretty much everything is looking positive for Killzone 2. They're final test would obviously be in the hands of the consumers to see if they truely delivered or not.

GotAmmo6522d ago

Killzone 2 has been held back so they can learn more about the secrets of the Ps3. Every dev studio that learns a new trick probably puts the idea into the Killzone pool. LOL just think, a huge Ps3 development manual and every top dev nsomniac, Naughty Dog, ect. putting in their ideas(kinda like National Treasure Book of Secrets)

Fishy Fingers6522d ago

They already have that, Sony have an internal forum for developers such as the ones you listed (GG, NG, insomniac etc) to share their secrets and new tech.

That's the joys of first party developers (insomniac just like to share :)). I imagine the KZ2 engine is one that the PS3 will use time and time again. Making it less reliant on the UE3.

solidt126522d ago

Im excited about Multi-player. Co-op would be cool but if not included it wouldn't kill me.

ohhthegore6522d ago

Well Co-op isn't a huge loss for me as long as the Multiplayer is good. People will still make a huge deal about this anyways. Lets just all remember that COD4 was able to get by without Co-op

Mc Fadge6522d ago

Killzone 2 is going to be held under a 1000x microscope, if a strand of hair is out of place, people are going to tear it to shreds, sadly :<

crck6522d ago

Its very important to me and sometimes a deciding feature as to whether I purchase a game or not. But if Killzone 2 provides a long compelling single player I may just get it anyway.

beavis4play6522d ago (Edited 6522d ago )

they throw that comment out there and don't explain themselves?

HowarthsNJ6522d ago

Can you imagine the uproar of a delay?

supahbad6522d ago

i want it out in FEB too, they should just make co-op a download like they did in Liberation. a free one of course, as long as they can get the main game out asap

LeShin6522d ago

Well i don't mind either way, Bioshock didn't have Co-op (hell, it didn't have ANY multiplayer) But it was an excellent game. I trust these devs as I liked Killzone on the PS2 and LOVED Killzone on the PSP.

The thing is, I really want to have fun with this game (and Resistance 2) so I haven't bought an fps's since COD4 as i was beginning to get burnt out by them. That way these two fps will seem really fresh lol

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

OtterX578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne578d ago (Edited 578d 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-ro578d ago

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

just_looken578d 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

MDTunkown578d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72578d 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_looken578d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya578d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast578d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood578d 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.

OtterX808d ago (Edited 808d 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-ro807d ago

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

darthv72807d 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_807d ago

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

Cacabunga807d ago

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

Profchaos807d ago (Edited 807d 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

seanpitt23807d 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!

Iceball2000807d ago

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

Father__Merrin807d ago

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

InUrFoxHole807d ago

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

Marcus Fenix807d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989807d ago

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

1Victor807d ago (Edited 807d 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 😱

807d ago
Michiel1989807d 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.

1Victor1112d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1112d ago

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

jznrpg1111d ago

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

badz1491111d 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!

Vengeance11381111d 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 Kim1111d ago

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

VersusDMC1111d 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?

Vengeance11381111d ago

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

solideagle1111d 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.

Phoenix761111d 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

REDGUM1111d ago

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

thesoftware7301111d ago (Edited 1111d 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.

blacktiger1111d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1111d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1111d ago (Edited 1111d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1111d ago

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

Imalwaysright1111d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
