Killzone 2 Dev Blog: There ain't no such thing as an early programmer

Just as wizards are never late, programmers are never early. But rather than arriving precisely when he intends to, your typical programmer will always attempt to arrive exactly as late as he thinks he can possibly get away with. And you have to understand, that's not because he just can't be bothered to attend the boss's very important meeting, your birthday party or his own wedding reception. He don't mean no disrespect, he's just trying to be efficient. Arriving any earlier than the absolute latest moment at which he can still avoid being fired, missing out on all the free beer or getting his fast-track divorce papers served would just be suboptimal, right? He'd just be wasting his time.

Ain't ain't a word. LOL
oh and the double negatives, so that means there is such a thing?

pixelsword6346d ago

http://www.answers.com/ain%...

Ain't was added almost about a decade or so ago if I'm not mistaken. The flexibility of ain't also allows it to be used in such a manner, although it does sound very wrong.

TheHater6346d ago (Edited 6346d ago )

RyuStrife I believe you just got killzowned by pixelsword
and yes, killzowned is in the dictionary.

RyuStrife6346d ago

lol, but the double negative is still there. But then again, there's a lot of words that has been added. Noob is a word in the dictionary now. I think pwn is in it too. But you can find those in the urban dictionary.

mikeslemonade6346d ago

Shutup, Ryu what are you 15? Only teenagers mock other people who use improper grammar.

Karum6346d ago

Gotta love people that criticise the grammar of others and fail at it themselves.

pretty F@#K up. They should have use Gears of WAR for the xbox 360 and Heavy Rain for the PS3.
I am just saying.

pixelsword6346d ago (Edited 6346d ago )

so in terms of the year the console has been released, they would match up I would say.

Still, that is pretty messed-up to do.

Beg For Mercy6346d ago

THATS PRETTY EMBARRASSING BUT TRUE

Nicaragua176346d ago

LOL all Xbox 360 games look like total sh1t!!

tehReaper6346d ago

Well considering Halo 3 came out in 2007 and isn't even in full HD, that's pathetic.

there are alot of words that HAVE been added. lol. i love stupidity.

raptorjacob6346d ago

"there are alot of words that HAVE been added. lol. i love stupidity." it is a lot, not alot. At least Ryu had that correct.

ElementX6346d ago

I bought a new TV this evening! I can finally enjoy my PS3 in all it's 1080p HDMI glory! Samsung 46" 120Hz

http://www.bestbuy.com/site...

I f#*king can't believe it! It's a foot bigger than my old TV, a Sony WEGA Trinitron 34" CRT tube tv.

Final_Rpg6346d ago (Edited 6346d ago )

I just bought the Z series 46 inch Sony Bravia. It's got different stats to the one in America though... it's 200 Hz, everything else is the same I think:S. Cost 3600... 4100 retail.

boodybandit6346d ago (Edited 6346d ago )

I am looking for another gaming tv and the one you purchased is on my list. The only problem with most LCD sets is input lag. It's hard to research this issue without actually purchasing them and testing them in house because most reviewers don't test input lag.

Sets I am considering at the moment is the
Sammy 650 and 850 (750 is out because of the Halo issue)
Sony Z4100 and XBR6

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

OtterX560d ago (Edited 560d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne559d ago (Edited 559d 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-ro559d ago

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

just_looken559d 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

MDTunkown560d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72560d 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_looken559d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya559d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast559d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood559d 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.

OtterX789d ago (Edited 789d 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-ro788d ago

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

darthv72788d 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_788d ago

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

Cacabunga788d ago

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

Profchaos788d ago (Edited 788d 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

seanpitt23788d 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!

Iceball2000789d ago

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

Father__Merrin789d ago

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

InUrFoxHole789d ago

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

Marcus Fenix789d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989788d ago

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

1Victor789d ago (Edited 789d 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 😱

789d ago
Michiel1989788d 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.

1Victor1093d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1093d ago

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

jznrpg1092d ago

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

badz1491092d 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!

Vengeance11381093d 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 Kim1093d ago

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

VersusDMC1093d 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?

Vengeance11381093d ago

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

solideagle1093d 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.

Phoenix761093d 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

REDGUM1092d ago

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

thesoftware7301093d ago (Edited 1093d 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.

blacktiger1092d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1093d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1092d ago

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

Imalwaysright1092d ago

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