Killzone 2 Exclusive Cutscene

V4VG.com -"Here we present a realtime cutscene that shows the true might of the Helgan forces."

360degrees6339d ago (Edited 6339d ago )

to see if this game can live up to even Half of the "Incredible Hype" that is surrounding it(highly doubtful)...but I predict that the reviewers and such are really going to have a field day with this one, I mean honestly they're gamers just like the rest of us, and while they were having to wait such an Agonizingly long time for this game to be released, they have probably let their expectations continue to build and build to unimaginable heights. As it stands now, the bar is simply set to high for this playstation exclusive to live up to it, sadly

resistance1006339d ago

"As it stands now, the bar is simply set to high for this playstation exclusive to live up to"

I disagree, while there is a lot of hype, i will say that Halo 3 and GTA IV received more and they both almost lived up to their hype.

Still from what i've played of Killzone 2 so far, i will be very satisfied with this game.

ThatCanadianGuy6339d ago

That's what i'm always saying about Alan wake.

Luckily the PC version should retain the hype.Hopefully.

elorm96339d ago

This game is a must buy for me. I hope I can preorder it ASAP!

Atomic6339d ago

More like "the bar set by Killzone 2 is simply too high for other games to reach.

blind-reaper6339d ago

PS3 SUCKS, PS3 SUCKS, PS3 SUCKS, PS3 SUCKS!!!! lol... awesome

Aclay6339d ago

@360 degrees

If you think that bar has been set too high for Killzone 2 for whatever Stupid reason, then I imagine that the Bar will even higher for Halo3:OSDT to even reach when it comes out Fall 2009. I think you fail to realize that Killzone 2 is setting bars for future FPS.

After looking at Killzone 2 in action, if anyone still doubts this game, you are in serious denial. Seriously, Killzone 2 makes Halo 3 look last gen. for god's sake. You 360 fanboys make me laugh everytime you try to downplay Killzone 2.

El_Colombiano6339d ago

Somebody just tell me how amazing the video was. I refuse to watch it. I want the full experience come February!

supahbad6339d ago

it was pretty freakin decent, bad quality and i dont see how youtube is exclusive, but you can tell this game's singleplayer will be very stroy oriented and they have put some thought into it

El_Colombiano6339d ago

Bubbles for the reply. Thanks man.

Carbide76339d ago

I bet Eurogamer, Edge and Kotaku are busy finding faults and crying.

"The good: the game looks alright and the gameplay is somewhat sharp but we hoped it would reach Gears of War standards in visuals. Good story but we don't like it.

The bad: lighting too realistic, It's not on the 360, took too long to release, looks better than the target render, bad texture in the 5th level at the second corner under the red pipe.
Characters don't look like they're on 'roids. Enemy AI act like they're alive, they try and hide from your shots and flank you. Environments are too varied. No chainsaw."

QuackPot6339d ago (Edited 6339d ago )

But not because of the "Incredible Hype" because there isn't any; well, any being made by Sony that is - just the Ps3 critics.

Yes, "the reviewers and such are really going to have a field day with this one" not because they are gamers BUT because many are biased fanboys who just don't like Sony.

I mean honestly. We've been waiting "an Agonizingly long time for this game" because Guerilla Games isn't as experienced with games development like veterans Insomniac, Infinity Ward, Epic, Naughty Dog, Criterion etc.

Sheez, if any of these developers were given the job of developing Killzone 2 it would have likely been out a year ago and been awesome.

And yes again, "the bar is simply set too high for this playstation exclusive to live up to it" because sadly, that bar is being set by anti-ps3 fanboys/critics. Obvious really.

BTW.

I am a fan of KZ1 as it's still a solid shooter for its time. I rated it 7/10 due to it's clumsy graphics glitches, linear gameplay, lack of physics, no usable vehicles.

But you could clearly see the potential there for Killzone 2 to be better. Either GG needs to learn from its mistakes and gain more experience OR another top notch developer should have been brought in to make it - fck, I'd love to have seen Epic's or Criterions's version of Killzone 2 with their experience with great shooters.

Looks like GG has learnt and will be making a better version of the game.

I don't expect too many 10/10 reviews but Killzone 2 shouldn't get less than 8/10. So yes, I'm excited by no one is hyping here....just looking for a better version of a solid game.

Bring on Uncharted2, Gow3, Heavenly Sword 2, Black 2, Warhawk2, CoD MW2...

Got the message? Good.

Bathyj6339d ago

Its not exactly hype to just say when you've seen something good. Quackpots right, its not like Sony or GG are going on and on about this game. Only people who've played it are.

You sound like you're just getting an excuse in place so you can hate it when its out.

If you dont trust the hype, at least trust your eyes.

PS
The animation in this is peerless.

prowiew6339d ago

The only thing that im worried about this game is the enemy AI. From the videos im seeing, the AI seems worrisome. The rest looks good

sa_nick6339d ago

I hate when people talk about games living up to hype. Games should only be hyped up as much as you personally anticipate it. Nintendo hype up stuff like Super Smash Bros and the latest Mario game all the time, but I see them and have no idea why, they don't seem fun at all.

Like music, movies, art, whatever, gaming is totally subjective.

I'm a Playstation fanboy, but KZ2 doesnt really interest me so I'm not overly hyped for it at all. It'll prolly live up to my expectations of being another console FPS that I'll play for a few hours at a friends place and be a little 'meh' about it all.

ProperFunked6338d ago

sounds like halo 2-3. played it for an hour, could care less if i ever played either again.

I don't give a fu<k about what any site says about Killzone 2. First day buy for me

CaptainHowdy6339d ago

it looks like cgi...how much dis this fricken game cost??? it looks expensive

Kleptic6339d ago

its rumored to have a development budget of nearly 60 million USD...it was only confirmed to be 'over 40 million' by some Dutch newspaper back in 2006...but many sources point to it being much more than that...

yeah...its expensive...if it really is around 60, its a good 10 million more than MGS4 give or take...

Heaven_Or_Hell6339d ago (Edited 6339d ago )

I thought that he hadn't got the game ? /sarcasm

Btw, NDA is Broken, prepare yourself to receive Sony's Ninjas @_@

TOO PAWNED6339d ago

Just because he posted some vid from youtube doesn't mean he has game, this is from some Sony event.Probably closed one

trancefreak6339d ago

hey too pony silly goon shhhh you are annoying

Danja6339d ago

hmm not watching a single KZ2 video till..I get the game..XD

Ashton6339d ago

I still haven't watch a single new video of Killzone 2.

same deal for uncharted 2.

I just want to enjoy it when i get the game

Dunta226339d ago

i agree with you once again. i dont want to ruin it

Spinitus6339d ago

same here. it's hard resisting not to watch one of these videos, but i gotta be strong and not ruin the experience. :)

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.

IAMRealHooman557d ago

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

OtterX557d ago (Edited 557d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne557d ago (Edited 557d 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-ro557d ago

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

just_looken557d 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

MDTunkown557d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72557d 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_looken557d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya557d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast557d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood557d 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.

OtterX787d ago (Edited 787d 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-ro786d ago

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

darthv72786d 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_786d ago

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

Cacabunga786d ago

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

Profchaos786d ago (Edited 786d 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

seanpitt23786d 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!

Iceball2000786d ago

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

Father__Merrin786d ago

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

InUrFoxHole786d ago

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

Marcus Fenix786d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989786d ago

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

1Victor786d ago (Edited 786d 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 😱

786d ago
Michiel1989786d 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.

1Victor1091d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1091d ago

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

jznrpg1090d ago

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

badz1491090d 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!

Vengeance11381090d 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 Kim1090d ago

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

VersusDMC1090d 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?

Vengeance11381090d ago

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

solideagle1090d 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.

Phoenix761090d 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

REDGUM1090d ago

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

thesoftware7301090d ago (Edited 1090d 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.

blacktiger1090d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1090d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1090d ago (Edited 1090d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1090d ago

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

Imalwaysright1090d ago

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