Updated rumors about Killzone

Rumor Reporter gives an update about rumors concerning Killzone, the none-appearance at GDC, and the alleged demo.

The article should be taken with a grin of salt, as the sources are a bit thin to say the least, so read with that in mind.

From the article : "I found out a little bit more than what I'm able to say, but posting anything more may not be needed. From what I know, Killzone 2 could very well be the best looking console game, ever. Period. This was revealed to my by a Genji 2 producer back in September, citing the game's visuals as even better than the original trailer."

Think about it? If the game really looks that good! That was the trailer that made me want a ps3 so badly!

Maldread6944d ago

Yeah, i think it will be exciting to see how close the end product will be, but all the attention on grapics isn`t all good either. I don`t expect it to match the first trailer anyway.

Judging from the first game, it will be the gameplay which needs the most work. I would rather have a steady framerate, rather than a choppy one just for it to be as close as possible to the first video. A good multiplayer, and a more varied experience is also needed.

My biggest fear is Killzone 2 turning into a Getaway 2, because this game has a lot of promise.

TheXgamerLive6944d ago

If it were done or any where close to even half done for that matter, we'd be seeing ingame footage, or shots of it. This is a given, well were not so it's not. In fact there's now a good chance that it wont ever emerge on any platform due to the "no news" status of it all.

People are making up things/news/rumors as a false hope but no news is bad news in this case.

When the games making ground or looking good, you'll see "something" to watch. So, this no news is quite bad news. To say it's looking better than the CGI, lol, no way, it's looking horrid if anything at all, or you would be seeing "something", again anything positive would of already surfaced, so there must be nothing positive to show.

Sony badly needs this title to save face to a major degree. The problems w/MGS4 and then if Killzone 2 is a bust/no show, then sony has laid there bed 6 ft. under already.

Killzone 2 looked to have major promise if there hoping to do it like the CGI that everyone has seen for over 2 yrs now.

THE TERMINATOR6944d ago

whats wrong with mgs4 are you jealous its not coming to 360? You are talking as if sony are in trouble but in the UK (where i am from the 360 has flopped!

HungPHAT6944d ago (Edited 6944d ago )

360 a flop, just log on LIVE and see millions of gamers online 24/7 I also have a PS3 and there online is not good! even for FREE, I rather pay for a soild online experience than a bare bones one.........

Maddens Raiders6944d ago (Edited 6944d ago )

Maldread. It's little tidbits like these that continue to stir the mystic pot re: this title. I just wish they would at the very least provide a single 'working in-game' screen or a demo at EU/UK/PAL Launch would rock the house. Then again, if it's being tweaked to the Nth degree so be it. They have a lot to prove up to and I'm quite sure Guerilla and SNE know that. Hence the reason for such tight lips and and obsessive refining. Hell, they're (Guerilla) only going head to head with Halo 3, which is making for fine competition. What better way, eh?

In the meantime this game is is garnering more and more attention simply due to its it duplicitious nature. What better a lightning rod than controversey? And there certainly is plenty of that. CGI or not, this game is going to stir a whirlwind of activity by hardcores- and on-lookers upon it's launch. =]

TheXgamerLive6944d ago

It's not going head to head with Halo 3, in fact at the curent, it's not going up against abything at all. There total absence is a bad bad sign. There's no competing competion to a non existant title. It's non b/c there's nothing to show but rumor, and had there even been a story from the dev's that are promising something, anything at all then there'd be hope.

As I said earlier, I don't doubt that it's being worked on but that could be 1 person doing some work, but basically it's progress must be at a stand still or else there's be something. For the hope of the ps3 console, they'll continue it's rumors, you all will just to have hope, beit false at best.

I'll bet that it wont be released if at all until 2009.

Maldread6944d ago

I think everyone wants to see how the game is shaping up.I`m dying for some in-game footage now, but guess that won`t come until the new E3 at the earliest. I think XGamer is right about the game slipping out of 2007 though, maybe 2008 is more realistic if it`s goal is to match that trailer.

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

OtterX487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne487d ago (Edited 487d 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-ro487d ago

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

just_looken487d 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

MDTunkown487d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72487d 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_looken487d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya486d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast487d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood487d 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.

OtterX716d ago (Edited 716d 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-ro716d ago

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

darthv72716d 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_716d ago

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

Cacabunga716d ago

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

Profchaos716d ago (Edited 716d 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

seanpitt23716d 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!

Iceball2000716d ago

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

Father__Merrin716d ago

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

InUrFoxHole716d ago

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

Marcus Fenix716d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989716d ago

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

1Victor716d ago (Edited 716d 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 😱

Michiel1989716d 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.

1Victor1020d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1020d ago

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

jznrpg1020d ago

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

badz1491020d 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!

Vengeance11381020d 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 Kim1020d ago

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

VersusDMC1020d 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?

Vengeance11381020d ago

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

solideagle1020d 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.

Phoenix761020d 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

REDGUM1020d ago

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

thesoftware7301020d ago (Edited 1020d 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.

blacktiger1020d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1020d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1020d ago (Edited 1020d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1020d ago

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

Imalwaysright1020d ago

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