Beg For Mercy6335d ago

this game looks insane for real, come on xbox only owners join us in this epic game

DavidMacDougall6335d ago (Edited 6335d ago )

They can't because people will quote them talking smack about the ps3 a year ago like little fanboys

LOL @ the disagree.

Ok your probably right they would but a ps3 and play it then tell there friends on live they have a GF named John LOL

jaysquared6335d ago

Game looks good but no way does it compare to 2005 CGI Target render they showed in E3... Sony again overhyping and underdelivering.. Like i've been saying before all the stages i've seen in game videos are are really dark. They probably made it that way so that they didn't have to work on the levels much. Darkness=lazy devs!

As far as the game IMO 360 owners are not missing much. Just like i've been saying KZ2 is a typical FPS nothing special. We all know that the Xbox= FPS console! So really not point on buying a PS3 for this game when you already have a 360 and its enormous amount of FPS games!

PirateThom6335d ago (Edited 6335d ago )

Halo is just a typical FPS, but it doesn't stop the media and Joe Bloggs drooling over it.

And, to be entirely fair, Halo 3 never matched its target render either. Microsoft, once again, overpromising and underdelivering? Or is that only true when it's Sony?

jaysquared6335d ago

Definitely agree that Halo3 was a typical FPS but I dont remember any target renders that M$ put out for it.. Other than those commercials that were running and a preview which was mostly in game footage. But with KZ2 Sony at first said that the CGI movie that was shown was actually in game footage but was later caught in a lie.

Everything has pretty much been done in the FPS genre there really not much room for improvement and innovation other than in graphics which still can be improved... COD4 was amazing because of all the customazation and detailed leveling up made it really addicting!

PataponKnight6335d ago

Jay you just got owned, so you should keep your mouth shut.

Kleptic6335d ago (Edited 6335d ago )

^^no...MS never promised this as in game...that was obviously movie quality pre-rendered video; no one would have bought that as real time...

the issue was more with the E3 2006 and e3 2007 trailers...2006 showed a cut-scene of some sort that was never confirmed nor denied to be in game...the only thing was...it looked about 100 times better than gameplay of the final title...iirc the 2006 trailer was still a cutscene in the final game, but it was obviously using a lot more than the regular in game assets...

Video 1 is 2006, 2 is 2007...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch...

I just got done watching the new review killzone 2 vid again in HD...and all i can say its...laugh out fecking loud when watching these halo 3 things afterwards...seriously...pause the second video at 1:03...compare that character model to the landing sequence of killzone 2...I can't believe these two games are even from the same generation...

jaysquared6335d ago

Like Kleptic said M$ never promised those teasers/trailers as target renders.. They were just what they were meant to be a tralier/teaser!

JokesOnYou6335d ago

I dont get it....KZ2 looked better in other vids I've seen, hopefully this is just the vid quality because I just dont see the "OMG visuals" that some are screaming about in these vids.

JOY

cayal6335d ago

@ jaysquared - you are one of the biggest jealous fanboys I've seen on this site.

ButterToast6335d ago

I was in the beta and the Beta graphics easily wowed me. maybe you just have unrealistic expectations?

InMyOpinion6335d ago

The game looks awesome. My only gripe with these videos is that it looks too easy. I hope you can kick up the difficulty a couple of nothces at least.

cayal6335d ago

Didn't GG say the AI is toned down for the test plays?

Genki6335d ago

Although I disagree with JokesOnYou, how can he have unrealistic expectations when he's referring to OLD, playable footage?

gaffyh6335d ago

The final build looks awesome, I remember seeing the video last year and I though that the smoke (when the plane gets hit and goes down) looked a bit worse than the cg trailer in 2005, but everything else was better. Now the smoke looks A LOT better than the CG trailer, I can't believe they've been able to surpass that trailer in EVERY way.

Ju6335d ago

Somebody posted a real 720p footage yesterday. Basically the same content. But boy does that make a difference. The little videos don't wow me no more, but I had that hooked up to my 42" yesterday, just to watch that movie (movie, yes, because that what it turns into). Stunning. That's actually the first time where scaling down doesn't do the game justice because you loose so many details.

The Killer6335d ago

who thinks the AI is too easy, a game with this quality deserves a better AI

ThanatosDMC6335d ago

Wow, that guy on the second gameplay vid really sucks. He's maybe 10 feet away from that enemy and he couldnt shoot him even if the guy was sleeping!

LeonSKennedy4Life6334d ago

The popular video you may all recall of a certain Sony executive saying it was in-game was edited. It's already been proven.

Sony NEVER said it was in-game. They said AT THE CONFERENCE that it was all target-render.

Handsome_Devil6335d ago

hit me with a code as well if possible

eXo86335d ago

He's referring to the Gamestop preorder beta codes.

Preorder from Gamestop, start playing KZ2 a month before official release.

Ju6335d ago

Quote: "it says valid 2/5-2/26"...didn't know we had Feb. already. You can't download anything before Feb. 5th.

But I'm letting the anticipation build so when I actually get my hands on Killzone 2 it'll kick me in the face and blow me away.

DavidMacDougall6335d ago

Someone said don't watch the videos last time because the ending was really amazing so i didn't and im not going to watch this either

GiantEnemyLobster6335d ago

Doesn't look like it to me. Expect patches.

she00win996335d ago (Edited 6335d ago )

your face is so ugly, you need patches to cover it up..

DavidMacDougall6335d ago

LOL god people must hate you in real life if you need this much attention

Rhythmattic6335d ago

LObStER..

K2 is gonna boil you.

Rs6335d ago (Edited 6335d ago )

Any games that ain't viva pinata doesn't satisfy you right? You poor little soul.

NegativeCreep4276335d ago

I just hate the fact that every video is played by some idiot that is too used to using the mindless "run-and-gun" style and doesn't use the more tactical style of the game and display the new cover system.

@ GiantEnemyLobster

You're just a F'n envious d!ckhead that will try to discredit anything the PS3 has to offer, even if you know you have no authentication for it.

Your nothing but a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

bomboclaat_gamer6335d ago (Edited 6335d ago )

looks good. but nothing like the CG as what some people are saying. i might get a PS3 for this.....on second thought i cant spend 400 for a ps3 just for one game. so i guess ill pass on this good shooter

MIKEY12236335d ago

not just one game you can get a whole orgasmic salad of games

6335d ago
Iceberg0326335d ago

It's not just killzone 2 that is gonna be a great PS3 exsclusive this year havn't you heard of God Of War III,Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain,infamous and ect and ect and ect the list goes on come join the fun!!

eXo86335d ago

It looks BETTER than the original CG. Playing beta live on my 5.1 60 inch LCD had me renounce my former PC loyalty.

Saying you're going to pass on KZ2 is like saying you're going to pass on the Filet Mignon after stuffing yourself with petty appetizers and salads.

Your loss.

TheHater6335d ago

Heavy Rain look better base on what I seen of both of them. But Killzone 2 does have more stuff going on at once on the screen. While Heavy Rain isn't as action orientated as Killzone 2.

Cajun Chicken6335d ago

That is a mighty fine looking game, I can't wait to see it on my TV.

PotNoodle6335d ago

Killzone 2 has a much better lighting engine and the particle effects are amazing when seen in action.

ICUP6335d ago

Not so fast buddy, wait for GOW 3 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to come out.

Ju6335d ago

Its still the best looking game coming out in the near future. Can be an evolution and won't end with KZ2. None the less, the best which is on the market NOW. This is a good thing. I am more excited, that its just not one title hitting that level, it just tells us we can expect this high end visuals as a standard for PS3 games at some point.

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.

IAMRealHooman567d 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

OtterX567d ago (Edited 567d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne567d ago (Edited 567d 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-ro567d ago

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

just_looken567d 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

MDTunkown567d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72567d 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_looken567d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya567d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast567d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood567d 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.

OtterX797d ago (Edited 797d 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-ro796d ago

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

darthv72796d 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_796d ago

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

Cacabunga796d ago

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

Profchaos796d ago (Edited 796d 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

seanpitt23796d 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!

Iceball2000797d ago

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

Father__Merrin797d ago

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

InUrFoxHole797d ago

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

Marcus Fenix797d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989796d ago

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

1Victor797d ago (Edited 797d 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 😱

797d ago
Michiel1989796d 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.

1Victor1101d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1101d ago

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

jznrpg1100d ago

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

badz1491100d 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!

Vengeance11381101d 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 Kim1101d ago

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

VersusDMC1101d 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?

Vengeance11381101d ago

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

solideagle1101d 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.

Phoenix761100d 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

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

thesoftware7301101d ago (Edited 1101d 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.

blacktiger1100d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1101d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1101d ago (Edited 1101d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1100d ago

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

Imalwaysright1100d ago

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