It's Time For Another Killzone Game

Killzone was a shooter that set itself apart, and in the age of fast-paced FPS it's time to bring it back.

your damn right is effing time!, we need an FPS not meant for noobs.

PaleMoonDeath2294d ago

Killzone 2 was god tier multiplayer.

HaveSumNuts2294d ago

Resistance 2 was also good as well, I had a crappy 512kbps internet connection but always had no lag on a 64 player match. It blew my mind

saladthieves2294d ago

Recently replayed Killzone 2 on PS3 after a decade. Still awesome, but was disappointed to discover that MP servers were shut down years ago. :(

UltraNova2294d ago (Edited 2294d ago )

Damn I cant begin expressing how much I've missed playing Killzone 2. I really hope GG reboots the game. They should definitely take KZ2 as their baseline and built on that. Heavy, gritty atmosphere, great hard hitting and sounding guns, mind blowing visuals (ray tracing!!) and a revitalised story between NSA and Helghast, maybe as a prequel of sorts taking us back when everything started...

I believe GG today has the knowledge and talent + a phenomenal engine (Decima) to resurrect Killzone and take it to new heights.

Gazondaily2294d ago

FPS not meant for noobs? Play Halo then.

The Killzone games have been shit apart from KZ2 (the mp for which still doesnt compare to Halo but is still decent). I think GG could do Killzone justice if they took a few bold steps and really amped the gritty nature of gameplay.

IamTylerDurden12294d ago (Edited 2294d ago )

KZ3 was undeniably good.

Killzone 3
Game Rankings - 86.38 https://www.gamerankings.co...

Halo 5
Game Rankings - 84.21 https://www.gamerankings.co...

Review scores aren't always indicative of a game's quality, but in this case it was the quickest way to establish a baseline.

Even KZ Mercenary was PHENOMENAL. It was GC that developed it, but truly a remarkable feat considering the hardware limitations. That game is criminally underrated.

They have made the games gritty, particularly KZ2. The games are gritty, dark, the guns are weighty, the melee is violent, the Helghast are dark and menacing. That's what makes KZ great.

Gazondaily2294d ago

Errr you're holding up Killzone 3's mp up against Halo 5? Come on Tyler...that's a losing battle right there.

The dark and gritty atmosphere can be really enhanced in a future sequel in terms of gameplay. Killzone 1 for all its failures had a really nice aesthetic sheen and feel to it. If the studio could capitalise and build on that it would be great.

P_Bomb2294d ago (Edited 2294d ago )

Tried to get into Halo but couldn’t. Too cartoony for what I look for in shooters. Corny looking garden gnome enemies. Cones, stubby little legs. The needlers and energy swords are just not weapons I want. You want me to collect skulls that make the game less fun? Always thought Master Chief was a cringe name. Never liked RTS games so of course there’s two of those too lol. Just on every level. Why is there something called Cortana shoehorned into my Windows OS? Not a fan. Don’t like Destiny either. Wizard came from the moon? Ya lost me.

Gazondaily2294d ago

Fair enough, each to their own :)

I do agree with you on some level though; I actually prefer KZ1's grittier vibe. If they could have mixed that with Halo somehow it would be cool. But then again I guess Halo benefitted from its unique look.

Killzone has never matched anything Halo except for visuals maybe. But there is potential there to create something special. The fake KZ2 gameplay video kind of touched on that potential but even more could be done, esp with the Helghast.

Traecy2294d ago

This article is about bringing back Killzone which has nothing to do with Halo.

rainslacker2293d ago (Edited 2293d ago )

I have no problem playing Halo MP. that makes it a noob MP experience. Not that I'm a noob, just that I'm not very good at FPS games, and I hate MP so don't play it much. I think Halo MP has depth though.

KZ I wasn't that good at playing. Was a little less lenient on those who are twitchy with the control pad.

I wound love to see a proper Killzone 4. There is a lot of room between 3 and Shadowfall. They have to keep the weighty feel of the original 3.

PaleMoonDeath2294d ago (Edited 2294d ago )

Still want my Killzone 2 remaster.. if EVER there was a game worth 1080p & 60 FPS.

ClayRules20122294d ago

Yes! I absolutely loved Killzone 2. Still my personal favorite First person shooter. I’d love a remaster, maybe on PS5.

IamTylerDurden12294d ago (Edited 2294d ago )

Unfortunately the rumor is that GG's second team is making a MP SOCOM game..

I'd rather a KZ1 or KZ2 remake/boot. Or KZ4 proper. The end of KZ3 had a tiny cliff-hanger.

ssj272294d ago

Very different type of games. Socom is unique online social team clanbased tactical real military non respown round based.

Killzone is realistic futuristic tactical with drones jetpacks team based with classes (team fortress but in a more serious way)

They are two amazing games ip sony needs to keep supporting at least once a new generation.

ssj272294d ago

GG are perfect fit to revive socom online. They did nan'67 which is very similar to Socom. I actually had suggested this om Killzone forums. It will be amazing to see a launch Ps5 socom online game made by GG with decima engine wow!! I rath3have a proper Killzone game with history mode a proper one not lifeless side history like shadow falls was. But after this online game Killzone or Socom i am sure they will focus fully on Horizon. That IP became way to big and gameplay is so good to let that go. But hopefully after a proper killzone. I suggest them to focus on helgash world make it open world in were we control a young helgash who was born after their defeat by the isa and this new yong helgash reclaims helgast free his people from isa and makes a new army to defend themselves from isa invasion for next part. That plot will give us what we all want play as helgast side of history. Anyways will see what happens

AuraAbjure2294d ago

Yes for the switch please! Mercenary's online MP was soo freaking fun. Exceptionally well balanced too.

Letting my friends play the SP convinced them to go out and buy vita systems for themselves.

Killzone is an impressive IP that's why I bought a ps3 in 2009 and sold it 3 months later, just so I could experience Killzone 2's SP and online MP.

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation331d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear21331d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon331d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga330d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage330d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing331d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Killzone composer would love a remaster trilogy, “don’t know if a new game” would be successful

Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga336d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM336d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box336d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia336d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac334d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE336d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM336d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB336d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion336d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps336d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

Killzone Deserves More Than A Helldivers 2 Crossover

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai431d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga431d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid431d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness431d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt430d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider430d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH430d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn431d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion431d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
