Killzone 2 hits eBay

Can't wait the extra month to play Killzone 2? Well, some seedy journalist is banking on that and has put his review copy of Killzone 2 up on eBay. The auction contains the entire press kit, which includes an information booklet about the title, a behind the scenes/making of disc, and a copy of the review code(printed in December).

Make sure you have your wallet handy though, with almost a week left on the auction, the price is already at £82.0, or roughly $120.

Ben Laden6249d ago

I think killzone will be a big disappointment for me, i was disappointed by gta 4. mgs4 (only played for about 2hrs total), far cry 2, resistance 2(competitive online sucked), cod waw. The only games which I have thoroughly enjoyed honestly this gen were cod 4 and halo 3, everything else was a meh.
p.s im not a fanboy, i own both systems.

FantasyStar6249d ago

Uh oh Laden, brace yourselves. N4PS3G doesn't take too kindly to any backtalk about anything Sony-related.

Sevir046249d ago

these your fankid brigades are actually creating reviews sites to draw down the score of a PS3 game... YOur bias and hate for one game and a company is just sickening. You all thrive on BS.. but this is N4360

Luca Blight6249d ago

At least think of it this way - if you go into Killzone 2 thinking it's gonna disappoint then maybe it'll be a pleasant surprise! I kind of agree with you on disappointments this gen but I did have fun with all the games you mentioned - I just don't think they lived up to their 5 star billing.

Sarcasm6249d ago

Ben Laden I enjoyed all the games you mentioned. What in the world are you expecting? Jesus comes down and touches you while you play or something?

UltimateIdiot9116249d ago

That's understandable. We all have different taste. I personally wasn't planning to get KZ2 around launch but after looking at the titles around KZ2, I caved.

I have a friend who hates CoD 4 and any shooter with realistic guns but loves shooting games with fake guns. I find this odd but it's his taste. Well, I hope you find more games that live up to your hopes.

Information Minister6249d ago

I'm pretty sure what you said is blasphemy, but damn it was hilarious!

Panthers6249d ago

Seems like you just dont like shooters.

I agree R2 competitve was bad, but you gotta love Co-Op. To me it was better than L4D.

Now the only ONLINE game I love is Socom. At least for consoles. My favorte game right now is C&C 3 Kanes Wrath.

uie4rhig6249d ago (Edited 6249d ago )

to the disappointed list.. i've played both offline and online.. and i found it a real disappointment.. and add MGS4 to the enjoyed list :)

Dir_en_grey6249d ago

So is this the un-refined version?

Seraphim6249d ago

I'd rather have the retail version. You know, the one I can actually play online, & the one that's actually finished... then again, I guess the beta wet my appetite enough. Plus the games out in another month...

I hope GG lays down the banhammer on these fOOls. Then sends a nice little letter to all developers/publishers stating that this review firm listed a press kit on ebay so others are cautious/don't send these guys press kits anymore. Blist them from the industry!!

Ace_Shooter6249d ago (Edited 6249d ago )

i couldn't find it on ebay...fake?? either way its too much money...patience is a virtue (and it could save you money) ;)

Edit: Seraphim- i think sony caught on because i can not find it on ebay =/

Chris_GTR16249d ago

oh noes ben laden what have you done?! sony defence force is coming your way so put on your flame suit

n to the b6249d ago

lol and that's why u got all them agrees, right?

thanks 4 proving FantasyStar's point, PS3 fanboys.

cayal6248d ago

If it isn't there any more I'd say Sony told ebay to take it off. The consequences will be interesting if the person who did it got caught.

deathray6248d ago

u just don't like games ben laden. sorry.

majorsuave6248d ago

hehe, the auction was taken down early.

SONY lawyers must have warned him, his paper or kidnapped his niece...

What a retard !

Downtown boogey6248d ago

You only played MGS4 for two hours and you're saying you din't like it... Can you even see the problem yourself???

thats_just_prime6248d ago

Wow thats sad he got 118 disagrees for stating his a opinion. It just goes to show how pathetic the sony fanboys on this site are.

I basically agree with him tho the big name titles this gen have been a disappointment. I hated gta4,dmc4, mgs4 and yes I hate halo 3 too.

I did like gears tho and really hoping RE5 doesnt disappoint too.

Oh and to stay on topic I'd never waste 120 dollars to get a game a few weeks early plus review copies are not always retail copy and have bug and glitches that are not in the retail copies. If you want to invest 120 dollars in a game get a copy of panzer dragoon saga or MvC2.

Consoldtobots6248d ago

I agree, L4D's zombies are NOTHING compared to the NBA center sized zombies you have to deal with in R2. Nothing beats that game for sheer volume of enemies thrown at you. It gets so bad that I have seen entire co-op teams overrun and wiped out by multiple hordes. THAT's what you call a game.

Sevir046249d ago

If it's one game worth a 120 bucks it's this game ^^ i'm so tempted to buy it.

ChampIDC6249d ago

No game is worth that much to me, but to each his own.

donator6249d ago

It's probably Kotaku. They need the money to keep their site up and running.

Luca Blight6249d ago (Edited 6249d ago )

Only $120 - for any working professional, that's like nothing! I spend about that much everytime I go out to the bars!

I'm placing a bid in right now.

EDIT: I love how it says on the disc "Pre-Production - Not for Resale"

Bob Dole6249d ago

You'd think there would be issues with GG since someone is selling their game early.

nightfallinicedearth6249d ago

That's cause you're a stupid drunk.

Panthers6249d ago

Whats wrong with being a stupid drunk? Gotta love the sauce.

And I would wonder if this review copy would work online once the real game comes out. Doubt it (didnt read the story so they may mention that)

shawnsl656248d ago

3 hours of work for 1 game? fck no. I'd never spend that much for just 1!

SolidSnake936248d ago

There's still a week left in the auction.

Luca Blight6249d ago (Edited 6249d ago )

That's roughly $306. Now I'm a little hesitant (especially for a review copy, maybe if it was the real thing).

This man is gonna clean up though.

Kleptic6249d ago

I haven't checked the ebay page...but will this copy run on a residential PS3?...I thought that idiot from Ripten claimed the review copy ran on a debugger (and he was upset that it received an update or something)?...

who knows...would be an awesome collector's item...but whatever, I just want the final game...

TheHater6249d ago (Edited 6249d ago )

Wow it just went up £50.

Gambit076249d ago

I was thinking the same thing, WTF?

uie4rhig6249d ago

i think, review copies are not allowed to be resold ...

Ghoul6249d ago

the seller will get sued by GG thats for sure,
expect some hefty fine and probably the end of his journalism career in the gaming media.

No other company will ever send him/them review copys again.

Dark_Overlord6249d ago

In big letters across the front of the disc

NOT FOR RESALE

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

OtterX491d ago (Edited 491d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne490d ago (Edited 490d 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-ro490d ago

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

just_looken490d 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

MDTunkown491d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72491d 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_looken490d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya490d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast491d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood490d 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.

OtterX720d ago (Edited 720d 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-ro719d ago

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

darthv72719d 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_719d ago

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

Cacabunga719d ago

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

Profchaos719d ago (Edited 719d 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

seanpitt23719d 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!

Iceball2000720d ago

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

Father__Merrin720d ago

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

InUrFoxHole720d ago

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

Marcus Fenix720d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989719d ago

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

1Victor720d ago (Edited 720d 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 😱

720d ago
Michiel1989719d 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.

1Victor1024d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1024d ago

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

jznrpg1023d ago

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

badz1491023d 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!

Vengeance11381024d 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 Kim1024d ago

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

VersusDMC1024d 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?

Vengeance11381024d ago

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

solideagle1024d 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.

Phoenix761024d 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

REDGUM1023d ago

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

thesoftware7301024d ago (Edited 1024d 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.

blacktiger1023d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1024d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1024d ago (Edited 1024d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1023d ago

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

Imalwaysright1023d ago

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