I would like to say get ready to be killzowned but it's gonna be too epic to be ready.

Milky Joe6312d ago

Could this game ACTUALLY live up to the hype? My brain tells me no, but my heart cries JESUS CHRIST YES AND YOU SHOULD BE BURNT FOR EVEN THINKING IT COULDN'T!!!

Oh, and ISA FTW.

I dont think even gta4 had this much hype.Since when did they start doing "QUOTES"... :/

I guess that is what happens when u have the best graphics on a consoles ever seen.

All i can say is add me on psn... jon_abobo :)

I need more people for my clan :)

Gambit076311d ago

I think the people who played it are very excited to talk about the game, they're trying to find ways to communicate it without getting in trouble before the embargo date.

Rai856312d ago

i hope after Killzone 2 the Gaming Industry will move on to top this on consoles, Sony did it with Uncharted 2 and i hope GOW3 they will match even Uncharted 2 in the Graphics department^^

LarVanian6312d ago (Edited 6312d ago )

Don't worry about GOW3 graphics.
The game will make Killzone 2 look like crap.
I'm not saying Killzone 2 has crap graphics. I would deserve to be shot if thats what I meant.

EDIT- Well the reason I said that was because of David Jaffe's reaction and because there are people (who have seen it) saying that the game looks like the Beowulf movie.

resistance1006312d ago

I will be very surprised if GOW3 makes KZ2 look poor in visuals. I will actually be very surprised if GOW3 even matches KZ2 in visuals.

Chris_GTR16312d ago

come on now guys, dont get started on this again... dont you remember you said the exact same thing about LBP? about how its going to revolutionize the way games are played and what not. then it comes out and flops. dont overhype things is what im saying. everything on ps3 seems to get overhyped. its what the fanboys do.

dukadork26312d ago

in fact, the problem is gonna be to play anything else than KZ2 on any platform afterward and convince yourself you're not playing a wii game.

Blademask6312d ago

and since when is a non violent new IP a flop for selling more than most of the 360's exclusives during 2008? Reminder: Banjo Kazooie, Lips, and You're In The Movies all sold less than 150k.

You sound a tired old fanboy with nothing else to do but enjoy Killzone2 coverage on n4g.KZ2 already has proven its the most advanced game running on consoles. Thats why its compared to Crysis. It has shattered the bar that the Unreal Engine could never do, and its going to change how PS3 games are developed specifically because its a new game engine.

KZ2 isn't overhyped, just as LBP wasn't overhyped. 360 fanboys get confused on what HYPE means. OverHyping is only used for mediocre games, like Halo3/Gears2/GTA4. Yea they sold well, but neither game scored higher than say MGS4, or LBP. Which are phenomenal games with second to none gameplay, which is what they were hyped as. Hype for LBP was based on it being a platformer, that you could do anything you wanted with. It delieverd, thats why it scored so well.

KZ2 has been hyped since 2005 to bring visuals that no oone has ever seen on consoles, and to start the real next generation of visuals when Sony said so. The beta proved that already, and now the full release is just going to break eyes even more.

If KZ2 was hyped to be the best looking console game ever created, and it IS. How is that over hyping? Its not like everyone didn't play the beta. Its not like people are "HOPING" it looks good. Everyone has seen it with their own eyes, and unfortunately theres nothing naysayers & fanboys can do about it. They can just say "Remember LBP only sold 1+ million and scored higher than all of our 360 games."

You can pretend that its not, but yeah. IGN/Gamespot/Gamepro + other credible journalists have already given the game its blessing on the hype for visuals. As long as its just your average FPS SP mode like Halo3 was, then it should be fine. Any thing they can add on is just a bonus. No one is saying KZ2 is going to be the best FPS ever, its just going to be one hell of an FPS that ushers in the new level of visuals and gameplay that were promised with this gen of gaming, that hasn't really been fullfiled until Uncharted/Gt5p/MGS4/LBP, and it blows all of those away.

How can you sit here and tell someone thats already played the beta, to not overhype it? Thats what I want to know, and how is it over hyping, when its already delivered on the #1 Reason KZ2 has been infamous in everyones mind? The second to none visuals?

ChrisGTR16312d ago

come on man, can you get any more fanboy ? just look at what your writing

"OverHyping is only used for mediocre games, like Halo3/Gears2/GTA4"

seriously, thats why all of those games are rated over 90? just cause you havent played em dosent mean you gotta say there mediocre. i havent played a GOW game but unlike you i dont say its mediocre or it sucks. LBP was suppost to be the ps3s unltimate video game, everyone was praising it as genious and revolutionary before it came out. it got high 9s from just about all reviewers. then it comes out and everyones bored within a week of playing it. it hardly sold any copies. comparing lbp to lips or banjo isnt fair cause i never heard any 360 fanboy say 'OMG lips is going to own, im going to be playing that for months!'

Blademask6312d ago (Edited 6312d ago )

Banjo & Lips define what a true underselling game is. Thats why I pointed this out to you. You don't seem to be able to grasp that. In other words, those games tanked/flopped/scored low.

There is absolutely NO STOCK AT ALL in what PP/or Power of Green/You/Me says. They don't work for their respective companies, and it isn't some fanboy-quantifiable-word that is used to compare against Game sales. I know you are a die-hard 360 looking at your posting history. So I can see why you hang on every word said by the people in the Open Zone. When your argument starts "buh buh a fanboy said X" You can't possible get any lower. You dont understand that, and thats why I have to go out of my way, waste my bubbles, to explain these things to you. Because you keep repeating the same tired argument that stems from what a fanboy said over and over again.

You cant refute the fact that LBP scored HIGHER than all 360 exclusives, delivered on its gameplay, and sold well. Could it have sold better? You bet your sweet ass. But thats every game. So you ignore that.

You cant refute the fact that MGS4 scored well, delivered on its gameplay, visuals, and sold well. So you ignore that.

You can't refute the fact that KZ2 delivers on what its Hype was. Second to none Graphics & Gameplay. So you ignore that.

Your original comment was trying to tell people not to hype using LBP as an example. Which again, you point out that it scored higher than 360 exclusives, and sold ok. The community is huge, visit any of the websites out there for it. Was everyone supposed to buy a copy? Is that what your mind thought, because "buh buh Aaron Greenterd on N4G said so!" Your comments about "Everyone getting bored" Who is everyone? You? Where is that source, where is that article? You are just making up nonsense because you cant speak intelligently about the topic.

And yes, everyone that owns multiple consoles can generally tell you the following:

GTA4 was hyped to literally be Jesus walking on earth again. BUT it sucked - Saints Row2 is better.

Halo3 was hyped to about 30 million dollars worth of an ad campaign, for a game with a mediocre SP, and the same online from last time (good online though)

Gears2 was hyped to RAISE THE BAR FOR CONSOLE VISUALS, BIGGER BETTER AND MORE BADASS? - REMEMBER?? MEATCUBE??? then it turned out to be gears 1.5 with better lighting, the online is broken. And the only fun mode is Horde. The SP was a better attempt at one than the first, and I think it served its purpose. Good solid game as well.

Thats what O V E R H Y P I N G is. Mountain Dew, CGI commercials, etc. And the actual game is decent, but nothing to the level of what the hype was. And most were forgotten when COD5 came out -- says XBL Play activity reports. Minus Halo3.

Stop the BS.

And you are right, they weren't mediocre, they just didn't live up to the hype.

I see you are out of bubbles. PM me. thats odd look at 4.1 -.... says u only have 2?

callahan096312d ago

Second highest rated game of 2008 and over 1 million sold, with nearly HALF A MILLION levels created and uploaded, and it's a flop? This "LBP = flop!" nonsense has got to disappear.

ChrisGTR16311d ago

to be honest i dont even know if its a question your asking or if your just telling me what you think about the 360s lineup. yea 360s lineup i guess was mediocre'ish nothing special , 2 sequels which were pretty much remakes of the first games. but at the same time its arrogant for the OP to just say " This GAME will bring the hole Gaming Industry in a new LEVEL" i mean, its just a generic brown fps shooter with good graphics.besides its taken them over 4 years of development just to make it look as good as it does.(just like heavy rain also over 4 years) im personally more intrested in heavy rain. its doing stuff that really no other game has done before(other than indigo prophecy) alright i used the wrong wording when i said lbp didnt live up to expectations. i was thinking in sales wize which is just really fanboyish of me. lbp is a great game.

pixelsword6311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

I admire the reason for you statement, but I disagree with your points.

1. The 360's lineup was not mediocre'ish; they have Left4Dead, Gears 2, Fable 2... That's a pretty good line-up for last year: the only difference is that I have to admit that the PS3 had a better line-up in terms of sheer volume of games, most of which came out in October... which makes my second point:

2. LBP "only" sold over a million because it came out when a bunch of different games came out for the PS3; actually, I would've preferred that LBP came out a little earlier or later: that way it wouldn't interfere with my Resistance 2, or someone else's Bioshock, or Mirror's Edge, or Motorstorm 2, or Dead Space... and I'm almost willing to say that a few more games came out around that time for the PS3.

3. By your wording, I'm almost certain you never played Killzone 2 based upon the fact that people who actually reviewed it aren't calling it "generic" gameplay with "good" graphics. Reviewers are calling Killzone 2 "awesome" gameplay with "incredible" graphics.

4. You bring up the point of them taking over four years to deliver, but another game I've been following is also taking four years: Alan Wake... except Killzone delivered while Alan Wake has not yet shown any gameplay as of this date, just trailers of "in-engine" graphics; not to knock Alan Wake, but four years on the harder to program PS3 should must be worth it if the games are coming to fruition.

5. You may be more interested in Heavy Rain, and a lot of people are; but that's not out yet, so for now Killzone 2 will fill (and sell) many a console before it's day is done.

COD4 set the standard for FPS, now KZ2 is just around the corner id say this game is going to set the new standards
COD4 Gameplay = Yes
Crysis Graphics = yes
AI like never before = Yes
Prob 1 of thee best games made to date = Yes
All in all "fooking Brilliant"

And before you all start hating on me yes i have played kz2 beta and im basing that on the beta, no doubt the final product will be better

Chris_GTR16312d ago

i think you mean halo. halo set the standard for modern fps games. regenerating health, one button nade throws, one button melees, multiplayer matchmaking and partys. but judging from your gamerpic i wouldnt be suprised if youve never played a halo game before.

davekaos6312d ago

I seriously doubt gow3 will make kz2 graphics look crap.
KZ2 prob the game with best graphics on a console to date, so what you are saying is gow3 will make every single xbox game before gow3 look like a pile of crap

DJ6312d ago

PS3 game tech just seems to be getting crazier every month. This is a Year 3 title for the platform. Lord knows what we'll be playing in Year 4 and Year 5. o_o'

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

OtterX554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne554d ago (Edited 554d 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-ro554d ago

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

just_looken553d 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

MDTunkown554d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72554d 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_looken553d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya553d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast554d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood554d 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.

OtterX783d ago (Edited 783d 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-ro783d ago

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

darthv72783d 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_783d ago

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

Cacabunga783d ago

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

Profchaos782d ago (Edited 782d 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

seanpitt23782d 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!

Iceball2000783d ago

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

Father__Merrin783d ago

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

InUrFoxHole783d ago

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

Marcus Fenix783d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989783d ago

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

1Victor783d ago (Edited 783d 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 😱

783d ago
Michiel1989783d 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.

1Victor1087d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1087d ago

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

jznrpg1086d ago

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

badz1491086d 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!

Vengeance11381087d 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 Kim1087d ago

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

VersusDMC1087d 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?

Vengeance11381087d ago

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

solideagle1087d 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.

Phoenix761087d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

thesoftware7301087d ago (Edited 1087d 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.

blacktiger1086d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1087d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1087d ago (Edited 1087d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1087d ago

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

Imalwaysright1087d ago

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