Ripten Hands-On Preview: Killzone 2

Ripten:

"With all the buzz around LittleBigPlanet, we didn't want to forget another of Sony's big games at E3, Killzone 2.

The highly anticipated and long-awaited first-person shooter was definitely one of the best looking games I checked out at E3. Now I know why the game has been in development for over four years.

With the power of the PS3 and Guerrilla Game's propriety engine, Killzone 2 looks incredible, and is almost up to par with that infamous trailer shown back at E3 2005. "

"Don't expect it to be labeled a Halo killer"

Yeah, cause only Halo perfects flipping switches, playing a gun and shooting people online. Stupid ASS RATS!

Killzone will destroy Halo's gimped animations, graphics and gameplay and everyone who buys the game will know it. The only ones who won't are the biased media and Microsoft fanboys who can't help but look at another game. The sad part is, instead of being P-whipped, these dong bangers are V-whipped by their video game infacutation.

Halo is old, tired and just not fun anymore.

Cartesian3D6534d ago

you switch between SOnyfanboy and XBot every week ?

:P .. BTW thanks to gureilla to combine TF2 gameplay with other brilliant shooters beside absolute gorgeous graphics and visual effects ..

Killzone multiplayer will ROCK!!!!

juuken6534d ago

...

I agree with you but you scare me.

gambare6534d ago

looks like silogon turns into a Sony supporter every time he's running out of bubbles.

thereapersson6534d ago (Edited 6534d ago )

Sony NOR GUERILLA *EVER* labeled KZ as a Halo killer. It was purely the work of the media as well as dumbass fanboys who had a bone to pick with the series and were looking for a game to overthrow its reign on the videogame market.

Sheesh!

Edit: I'd never thought i'd see the day when Ripten states the phrase "With the power of the PS3"...

techie6534d ago

lol I dont think they meant "power of the PS3" in the fanboy sense. Ie. more powerful than the 360. It's just to mean that the PS3 is more powerful than say...a PS2...and GG have to use all that power to create the visuals

:D

thereapersson6534d ago

BTW, it reminded me of..

"BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED!!!!"

hahah

Anyway, I imagine we can all agree that we can't wait for February to get here!

shazam6534d ago

why do they always have to sneak in an ai comment?

QuackPot6534d ago (Edited 6534d ago )

But since in was a multiplat, this fact was never brought up by the flamers.

But if Killzone 2 pawns CoD4 then you can only conclude one thing....

thor6534d ago (Edited 6534d ago )

They always have to sneak an AI comment because I think it is something to be genuinely worried about. If they didn't die ONCE during their session, that's a little too easy even for easy mode, and even with that said, usually for higher difficulty in games the AI itself is not changed much, they just deal more damage, have more accurate shots, and take more damage themselves. It's not hard to make the game difficult, just make it one shot and you die, but that wouldn't be a credit to the AI because they could still stand there like lemons in the open.

Although hopefully they are reading all the previews and if they're not so up themselves that they think the AI is perfect already, they will at least try to improve it before the game ships.

So it is a given that this one is one of my anticipated titles for 2k9. I am looking forward to the online for this game but I am definitely looking forward to seeing how they flesh out the single player. The first one had some pretty cool moments IMHO.

ChampIDC6534d ago

A lot of people liked the first one. It wasn't bad at all. It was just horribly overhyped by fanboys wanting a Halo caliber shooter on PS2. Hopefully, the same thing doesn't happen with this one. It looks like it's going in the right direction so far.

PimpHandHappy6534d ago

i love ppl that turn on themselfs

anyway

KZ2 is looking like a winner. I hope the story is good atleast. Its something i have grown to like alot...story

COD had a lame story kinda i thought. It looked good and did set up some levels but the only thing i remember is my death after the nuke went off....that guy had my last name...lol

i hope the online rocks...32ppl would be the biggest FPS online i have played! Cant wait

thor6534d ago

32 players the most.... really? Haven't you played _any_ PC FPSs? COD4 on PC I've often played >50 player matches...

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

OtterX596d ago (Edited 596d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne596d ago (Edited 596d 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-ro596d ago

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

just_looken595d 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

MDTunkown596d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72596d 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_looken595d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya595d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast596d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood596d 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.

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-ro825d ago

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

darthv72825d 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_825d ago

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

Cacabunga825d ago

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

Profchaos825d ago (Edited 825d 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

seanpitt23824d 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!

Iceball2000825d ago

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

Father__Merrin825d ago

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

InUrFoxHole825d ago

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

Marcus Fenix825d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989825d ago

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

1Victor825d ago (Edited 825d 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 😱

Michiel1989825d 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.

1Victor1129d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1129d ago

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

jznrpg1129d ago

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

badz1491128d 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!

Vengeance11381129d 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 Kim1129d ago

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

VersusDMC1129d 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?

Vengeance11381129d ago

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

solideagle1129d 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.

Phoenix761129d 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

REDGUM1128d ago

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

thesoftware7301129d ago (Edited 1129d 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.

blacktiger1128d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1129d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1129d ago (Edited 1129d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1129d ago

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

Imalwaysright1129d ago

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