A lot has been said about Killzone 2, even though little has been shown of it. Many regard it as the saviour of the shooter genre while others are less generous with their praise. It's even divided opinion in the IGN UK office with the team's two first-person purists disagreeing with one another after playing through the latest E3 build. Here's what they had to say.

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

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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
Do you know what I find funny. IGN was the onces hyping up the original Killzone as the Halo killer. But now all the blame is being place on the Sony Fanboy, when everyone should blame IGN for it. Don't get me wrong, IGN is my favorite gaming website, but it unfair to play other for what they have done.
Sounds like a AAA game already
He points out that the things that killzone2 does, have been done in other games and given a complete pass. But for some reason, people are expecting this game to be the second coming? Who exactly is that?
Because I know that KZ2 is going to be a generic shooter, like COD4/Resistance/Hl2/Crysis that i've played in the past. I just say generic because the FPS market is tapped out of ideas, it cant really innovate anything that we haven't seen in PC days of gaming, or early console gaming. The only place the FPS can improve, is visuals, scale, sound design, and production values. Which no one can take away from KZ2.
People can complain about dumb AI all they want, but those exact instances of oblivious enemies pointed out in KZ2 have all happened in Halo3/COD4/Crysis. Most of the time, humans are smarter than A.I. Yes there are moments when the AI is stupid, but thats just gaming. Hell there are times in MP where people are stupid and ignore you until you headshot them. And from all of the videos we have seen, there is nothing the AI does or doesn't do in killzone, that I haven't played or seen in some of our top rated FPS's.
Bravo Alex. Thats a gamer right there. One that doesn't point out that 'BU HBUH KILLZONE IS GREY" while Gears Of War was the same lack of color, and was praised.
We are getting to the end of this BS ride this gen. Thank god.
the second coming is gow3.
lol
"this game is not good cuz that pixel right here is too grey"
jealous biotches whiiiiiiiiiine and drooooooooool
