1UP: Killzone 2 Multiplayer Hands-On Preview

What's the game about? By now you should be nicely familiar with Sony's long awaited first-person shooter for the PS3. It's been the highlight of several of the company's E3 press conferences, and has been steadily gaining hype as we've seen its cinematic visuals nearing the experience Guerrilla set out to achieve in the incredible target video released early on.

"I had so much fun playing that it was hard to pull me away to let others check it out. "
I hate everyone that got to play the multiplayer for this game :(
I want to play it already

el_bandito6447d ago

"multiplayer felt great and was tons of fun"

I am truly jealous of you Mr. Sam.

arakouftaian6447d ago

i need to get in they say it will be live very soon!!! this game is lovely!!! thanks you Sony n GG for this game!!!

StephanieBBB6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

The only other game that I can think of that has a chance to de-throne KZ2 as the best online action game of all times is MAG, and as they both are on the PS3 with the prerequisite that you own a PS3, your in a win-win situation =)

HighDefinition6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

is about 5 months away. LBP is about 2 1/2 months away.

Think about that.

The time has almost come.

TheHater6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

The time has come for what?
edit: oh I get you now.

arakouftaian6447d ago

u will see it when is time. the time is not here jet it will be here once LBP n KZ2 launch

HighDefinition6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

Your not serious.

To get our HANDS on these Masterpieces in the making, OF COURSE. It`s REALLY exciting to know there almost here after all the speculation and hype.

Shabas6447d ago

Is it 2009 yet? I need this game now!!

Shane Kim6447d ago

I wish I could put myself in a giant freezer and wake up in Feb 2009.

HighDefinition6447d ago

I wanta play LBP just as bad.

:)

TheHater6447d ago

lol...Cartman from South Park

beavis4play6447d ago

i don't either. i want to introduce some chimera to the splicer and magnum!

DA_SHREDDER6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

Dude I can go on and on why its so great owning a ps3. Its cool though, cause everyone is gonna be kissing Sony's @ss when it all comes down too it. Its already started. Just look at this preview, This is coming from a site that gave its E3 most anticipated game award to Gears of War 1.5. I just think that it sorta sucks how all the critics and xbox fanboys felt they needed to slam the ps3 for so long, making other people buy what will soon be considered a last gen console, when they should just be happy that a machine of this caliber even exist today. I guess the ps3 was just ahead of its time?

Oh yeah,,, I just wanted to say that after playing COD,, I really felt that the prone mechanic is ideal for playing shooters. Especially while your sniping. Its just so much easier to conceal yourself when your prone you know? Its just so much more realistic right? Wrong. I was watching the science channel the other day and some scientist was talking about cloaking devices. He said we were on a verge of many scientific breakthroughs and having armor that makes you invisible is already being made. So I guess that makes this game more realistic then science fiction eh? Why prone and conceal yourself when you can just totally make yourself invisible? Im totally stoked man!

why am i getting disagrees? If you guys disagree I would love to hear your reasons why. If you dont say why you disagree then that just proves your just being a biased piece of crap and you dont have anything to prove me wrong.

HighDefinition6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

LBP, Killzone 2, God of War 3, MAG, WKC, HR,Mstorm2, Infamous, R2 are all out in 2008/2009. That`s a BLOCKBUSTER TITLE about every month.

Crazy.

rogimusprime6447d ago

prone sniping is the one thing that makes it hard to suspend the disbelief in Halo. Running around standing up with your scope zoomed in is not exactly the most discrete way for a sniper to operate.

beavis4play6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

don't forget about wardevil. and ND will be releasing something next year too. plus insomniac will be sending us the next installment of ratchet.(where is clank and where did all the other lombaxes go?)

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

OtterX542d ago (Edited 542d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne542d ago (Edited 542d 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-ro542d ago

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

just_looken542d 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

MDTunkown542d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72542d 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_looken542d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya542d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast542d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood542d 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.

OtterX772d ago (Edited 772d 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-ro771d ago

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

darthv72771d 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_771d ago

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

Cacabunga771d ago

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

Profchaos771d ago (Edited 771d 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

seanpitt23771d 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!

Iceball2000771d ago

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

Father__Merrin771d ago

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

InUrFoxHole771d ago

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

Marcus Fenix771d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989771d ago

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

1Victor771d ago (Edited 771d 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 😱

771d ago
Michiel1989771d 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.

1Victor1075d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1075d ago

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

jznrpg1075d ago

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

badz1491075d 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!

Vengeance11381075d 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 Kim1075d ago

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

VersusDMC1075d 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?

Vengeance11381075d ago

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

solideagle1075d 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.

Phoenix761075d 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

REDGUM1075d ago

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

thesoftware7301075d ago (Edited 1075d 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.

blacktiger1075d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1075d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1075d ago

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

Imalwaysright1075d ago

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