Well well, Killzone 2 has been getting a lot of love from Videogamer :P
I am guessing Killzone 2 will be getting another 9.5/10 from them.

Period.

Unless you don't have a ps3 ;)

Shane Kim6303d ago

Sounds like a hell of a fun. Can't wait.

SAiOSiN6303d ago

this looks like it will replace my love for cod4. u heard me cod4!
CODWAW sucks really hard. kz2 ftmfw!

OGharryjoysticks6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

My guess is there is a lot of players that start in multiplayer and beef up the skills they need and a couple weeks later get around to whatever campaign mode there is. I'm really not fond of multiplayer shooters because I swear some players do this and by the time I finish the story mode (which usually takes me a little bit of time because I can't play all day or everyday) and get into trying the multiplayer I'm so far below everybody's skill level it seems the games aren't fun because I get killed so frequently and quickly :)

Edit: SAiOSiN, Fishy Fingers, and Nineball2112 it looks like I can cross you all off my list of revenge on people who have taken advantge of my single player appreciation. See you online :)

SAiOSiN6303d ago

i always play sp b4 mp. i need the figure out the feel of the game, the controls, and the strategies that i can use later in mp. the only sp i skipped was codwaw. i went straight to mp, and well i was very disappointed. sold the game last week. i still play a lot of cod4. i just want k2 to surpass cod4 in every way possible so that will be my main gaming priority.

Fishy Fingers6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

Personally I never touch MP until I've had my fill of SP. I hate jumping on MP and seeing all the weapons/tools before they're introduced properly in SP. Plus, it's good training, I know people who have missed gameplay mechanics completely because they jumped straight on MP and werent introduced to them via SP experience.

Each to their own of course. But I'm still a big fan of story and SP in general. Few blasts through (good training), then hit MP until my eyes bleed :)

Nineball21126303d ago

for a while now.

I agree with you guys above me. I normally always play through the SP campaign first for the same reasons listed above:

Feel of the weapons
Gameplay strategy
Getting used to the controls

But with the ranking system in KZ2, I think I'll be at an even bigger disadvantage than I usually am. Those perks that you get the higher in class you are... are extremely valuable.

However, I think there's a way to filter who you play against, so you won't get slaughtered by someone who is WAY above you in rank.

If that's true... then I'll probably still play through the SP first.

Anyone know 100% for sure?

Pennywise6303d ago

Good point. I usually play single player to hone my skills, but by the time the game is done the people playing MP will be higher ranked and owning me.

I might take a different approach to this one because I plan on playing a lot of MP.

Fishy Fingers6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

Yeah, you can filter/search for/by..

Rank
Player count
Map
Latency/Ping
Game Type
etc etc
(or any combination of the above)

You can specify exactly and find just what YOU want to play. No matchmaking here, you decide whats best for you, just how it should be, picking from a list.

Nineball21126303d ago

Thanks for the info., bro. (Hey, that rhymed!)

That makes my decision easier.

I'll probably stick to my strategy of playing the SP first then.

The MP for this game won't be going anywhere! LOL... I'm sure it'll be around when I'm done with the SP.

Draperc6303d ago

I usually play the single player campaign first to get a good feel for the controls then jump into multiplayer.

Max Power6303d ago

just get the demo and you'll have plenty of time to bone up on your MP skills, and learn a map or two. And when the game drops play SP, then once finished jump onto the MP and your skills will be a tighter than what they would have. (this is assuming the demo as an MP element, but even if it doesn't you can still get a feel for the controls in what ever level is included)

legendkilla6303d ago

i was in the beta so im going straight into the MP! you guys are going to get killzowned! rank ^

Bathyj6303d ago

I'm Aussie, ao I get the game 2 days before most of you. I figure a 40 hour stint, and I'll be invincible by the time you get in and I'll slaughter you all. MUHAHAHA.

Just kidding, I'm all about the single player, I dont even play online, but I might have a go of Killzone, I love the idea of mixing the different badges. Plus I feel like a bit of a heel, I have a friends list and keep getting invites but never play.

Shane Kim6303d ago

Well I'm from EU so I'll do what bathyj is going to do ;). By the time the "yanks" come in we europeans will be hardened veterans :P.

Helghast Slayer6303d ago

Yeah i always make sure i finish the single player part of all my games before i jump into anything multiplayer.

Marcelles256303d ago

there are like "begginers only" rooms that i played in the beta but i dont know if it has been changed for the final code

Warzone is like coming home from a hard day at work to find your wife having sex with someone else. Only then to see another beautiful woman is the one she's with and then they ask you what are you waiting for?

Warzone is just like that you get in and it's insane at first then once you get the hang of it it throws you a curveball. Once you ge the hang of that it does it again. It's a blast and I loved every second.

What does that have to do with your wife in bed with a sexy woman? Hell if I know but both sound really fun to me.

Pennywise6303d ago

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds fun to me too!

Helghast Slayer6303d ago

I'll triple that. Sound very pleasing to me also.

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

OtterX551d ago (Edited 551d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne551d ago (Edited 551d 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-ro551d ago

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

just_looken551d 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

MDTunkown551d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72551d 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_looken551d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya551d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast551d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood551d 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.

OtterX780d ago (Edited 780d 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-ro780d ago

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

darthv72780d 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_780d ago

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

Cacabunga780d ago

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

Profchaos780d ago (Edited 780d 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

seanpitt23780d 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!

Iceball2000780d ago

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

Father__Merrin780d ago

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

InUrFoxHole780d ago

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

Marcus Fenix780d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989780d ago

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

1Victor780d ago (Edited 780d 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 😱

Michiel1989780d 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.

1Victor1084d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1084d ago

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

jznrpg1084d ago

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

badz1491084d 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!

Vengeance11381084d 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 Kim1084d ago

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

VersusDMC1084d 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?

Vengeance11381084d ago

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

solideagle1084d 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.

Phoenix761084d 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

REDGUM1084d ago

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

thesoftware7301084d ago (Edited 1084d 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.

blacktiger1084d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1084d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1084d ago (Edited 1084d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1084d ago

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

Imalwaysright1084d ago

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