WTF sony enough with the screenshots we already know it looks AMAZING

If that UK cover art is legit it leads me to believe the game will release with 4p coop. That would just be incredible

Kain816387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

Where???

AND 4CO-OP player is this legit???
oh man if this is true than.....

Max Power6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

to assume that would mean there will be four player co-op if it is indeed an offical cover, but then again you know what happens when you assume.

Fishy Fingers6387d ago

4 player co-op is coming, supposedly though, it will be patched in just after release so they can make their window and still apply all the polish GG would like.

RememberThe3576387d ago

But I'm with you guys, give me four play coop.

thor6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

Hahaha LOL it's not going to launch with co-op - they have stated this (why would they say that if it were to come with co-op), plus, co-op would be online only.

Their environmental damage system does NOT work in the MP due to limitations of their engine and to prevent lag - they would have to implement this if they wanted co-op. Furthermore the AI would have to be adjusted and the difficulty ramped up to accomodate 2 or more players. The set-pieces might have to be redesigned around co-op, and so would the dialogue etc. so we don't get a situation like Resistance 1 with a random black dude following you around for no reason.

They have said they will patch it in but I think, considering they've had a huge budget and years of development time, that it should be in the initial release. It's going to hurt the review scores.

Edit: I don't know why I am getting disagrees. I am stating facts for the most part. They have SAID that there will be no co-op at launch and that the environmental damage will not feature in multiplayer. I think it should be in the initial release! Do you disagreers think it shouldn't?

Fishy Fingers6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

Well that's all true if you believe GG suddenly decided to implement co-op, which I doubt, your always with a squad of 4. I'm rather sure they know what they're doing on that front.

Also GG have said, zero difference between single player and multiplayer on a technical/visual front so how do you know about stuff like environmental damage? The only thing dropped for MP is the cover system.

Regarding review scores, who cares, Id rather have the game in feb and a patch in march then wait another month for this game just so it can get a slightly better opinion from somebody I dont know. I want the game.

RememberThe3576387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

and Killzone 2 was rather low on the list. That and GG is creating a game engine as they create the game that Sony will use in future titles. However, my laziness in not finding my sources makes this word of mouth.

@Fishy: Word.

thor6387d ago

@ fishy

They have stated that they have dropped environmental damage for multiplayer due to technical limitations. Watch some of the beta videos - I don't see any destruction. This would be a problem they would need to overcome were they to implement co-op.

[The reason there is no cover system is not technical, it's that people would avoid using it so they would be free to move. Like MGO, no one would use it.]

SuperM6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

Yea it was saying like 20 million $ in production cost. That seems a littlebit to low to me though, but who knows?

@ Thor
Its a difference between 32 player multiplayer and 4 player coop. Just because they had to drop it in 32 player multiplayer certainly doesnt mean they have to drop it in 4 player coop. Big difference there, 4 player coop should work just fine.

Fishy Fingers6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

Sorry can you provide a link for that. I read pretty much everything KZ, never read anything about lossing environmental damage.

Watch KZ beta videos? Nah, I'll just go over my mates, he's in the beta :) Plus, beta is not final build (hence the name, BETA) there for you shouldn't base your claims upon it.

I realise the cover system has nothing to do with technical limitations, but like I said as far as I know thats the ONLY difference between SP and MP.

Theo Paphitis6387d ago

Huh?

There is environmental damage on MP, Ask Sonarus, MeepoMeep, HeartlesskizZ.

I particularly watched the video HeartlesskizZ posted and he stood there shooting bullets at the wall and the plates were literally falling off. Then he took some kind of RPG and blasted it on a building, and that's right you guessed it, it broke a bit.

olivia6387d ago

it not sony its clowns.look closely those are screens from 4 month ago,by now you all seen the new shots and the new trailer that just air on tv.compare the two this looks like ps2 to ps3 thats how much better the trailer and the real sreen look compare to this. i don't know what these people are trying to pull it very disrespectful.

Screenshots don't do this game justice.
You need to see video's to truly appreciate the atmosphere of it

Edit:@Sonarus in Gamerzone Yes 4 Player co op would be ..mouth watering..

And thank you mod's for randomly banning me.
Love you to.

aaron236387d ago

For others this is KZ2 in action

http://ca.youtube.com/watch...

yea everything is ingame

Shaka2K66387d ago

Not even Crysis on PC looks this good or has half the action on screen of KZ2 maybe its because of the lack of the Cell on current PC's today that no PC in the world can achive this.

olivia6387d ago

are showing shots from 4 months ago,common people by now u all seen the new stuff plus the new trailer,what the hell are they trying to pull

Deadman646386d ago

The graphics are defiantly tight. But why aren't PS3 owners complaing about the amount of grey...I mean thats all they B!TCH about with gears 2?

Also, how successful was the first killzone [AKA HALO KILLER]?

Just saying it was supposed to be Sony's answer to Halo, and it tragedically failed...

even the youtube quality video kills every FPS out there

Just listen to the podcast of DLB network to get an idea about how good the KZ2 beta actually is

They say even the BETA piss on all the FPSes out there

pp6387d ago

The graphics are awsome makes Resistance 2 look like ps2 game.

aaron236387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

motherfuccing bastard that gaysOFwar 1.1 look like dogshit vs KZ2

sucks huh...that u cant even dare name any of your suckbox 360 game against KZ2

Resistance 2 is the best fps of fall 08

KZ2 is the BEST FPS OF ALL TIME

Ichiryoka6387d ago

how far into the rabbit hole he will go to find his true reality.

thor6387d ago

Too true it does make resistance 2 look bad. For once you are right pp.

Unfortunately for you, it also makes Gears 2 look bad as well which I'm sure you'd rather not mention.

It's too bad that Gears 2 has more features than KZ2 will have at launch. I'm kind of disappointed that despite the "delay" to Feb 09 we're still not going to see co-op or split-screen at launch.

NickIni6386d ago

pp I'm amazed. You almost made an entire comment without being a fanboy, until you put the part about R2. Your certainly improving.

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

OtterX554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne554d ago (Edited 554d 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-ro554d ago

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

just_looken554d 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

MDTunkown554d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72554d 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_looken554d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya554d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast554d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood554d 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.

OtterX783d ago (Edited 783d 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-ro783d ago

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

darthv72783d 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_783d ago

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

Cacabunga783d ago

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

Profchaos783d ago (Edited 783d 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

seanpitt23783d 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!

Iceball2000783d ago

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

Father__Merrin783d ago

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

InUrFoxHole783d ago

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

Marcus Fenix783d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989783d ago

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

1Victor783d ago (Edited 783d 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 😱

783d ago
Michiel1989783d 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.

1Victor1087d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1087d ago

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

jznrpg1087d ago

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

badz1491087d 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!

Vengeance11381087d 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 Kim1087d ago

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

VersusDMC1087d 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?

Vengeance11381087d ago

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

solideagle1087d 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.

Phoenix761087d 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

REDGUM1087d ago

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

thesoftware7301087d ago (Edited 1087d 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.

blacktiger1087d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1087d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1087d ago (Edited 1087d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1087d ago

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

Imalwaysright1087d ago

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