CVG writes:

"During an online chat session via the US PlayStation blog, producer Seb Downie was asked if gamers could expect something similar to what Bungie has done with Halo 2 and Halo 3."

Strange headline as I think they're actually talking more about the site/game integration so you can look back over/track all your stats. Far as I know, KZ2 has no "match making" like Halo/COD where your forced to play a game according to the consoles pick, instead you can actually search/filter for the games YOU want to play, be that by rank, player count, map, game type, latency or a combination. Maybe it has both I'm not sure.

Mindboggle6304d ago (Edited 6304d ago )

Yeh you are correct. I read the whole Q&A and this question was regarding stat tracking on the website like Halo did with Bungie.com...

Jeff Rubenstein, PlayStation.Blog: [Josh] In terms of stat tracking, will I be able to look through every game I've played? Bungie.com does this with Halo 3 and I've always wondered why more games didn't do that.

Seb Downie, Guerrilla Games: We have a couple of secrets still to announce which will cover your question, so I'll leave that one open til the new version of the site goes live.

Mainman6304d ago

Thats what I hated about COD4 (PS3 version). I couldnt choose my own modes and maps. Only automatching.

I didnt like all the maps and modes. And sometimes I felt like playing a particular mode or at a particular map, but just couldnt because of the automatching.

OOG6304d ago

thats kind of the whole point behind matchmaking... stops people from just playing against the same people all the time for stat boosting....

And makes people learn every map... which they should... you shouldnt only play the ones you do good on etc......

on a side note... cool to see they are gonna be adding some stuff for the game

Big Frank6304d ago

Theres a big problem with being able to pick your own maps and options (if the same as rainbow) is that it can take a long time to get a game going. CODs matchmaking was great because everything was so fast.

All games should look to the way Halo is supported. Being able to record your games and track all your stats should be a conerstone of any online FPS now. Thanks Bungie for bringing us one of the best multiplayer experiences this gen!

I've got enough of this Halo / Killzone 2 comparison. Killzone 2 will be the next Killzone and Halo ODST will be the next Halo!

DelbertGrady6304d ago

I agree with you but ODST will not be Halo 4. It will be a DLC expansion to Halo 3.

andron6304d ago

The Halo/KZ2 comparisons are way off the mark.

I never understood point of the Halo killer hang up. Commercially it may have a point, but gameplay wise KZ2 is more like CoD4...

1ikedamaster6304d ago (Edited 6304d ago )

"I've got enough of this Halo / Killzone 2 comparison. Killzone 2 will be the next Killzone and Halo ODST will be the next Halo!"

It should be an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as Halo 3 and COD4.

@Soda Popinsky

It's not DLC, it's considered an expansion but will drop as a full retail game complete with 1000 achievement points(like full games). I'm sure that's not what you expected but check the sites.

DelbertGrady6304d ago

Oh, is that true? My mistake then. I thought it was something similar to GTA IV: The lost & the damned.

Hallucinate6304d ago

ugh this is really annoying.."will kilzone 2 be sony next halo"..i sure as hell hope not halo is the most overrated game ever made..and its not very good either..gives me head aches for some reason

maverick11916304d ago

its not hard to beat halo graphically and gameplay wise halo is cartooney kz2 easily surpasses it sales wise we'll have to see on feb 25th and 27th

Hallucinate6304d ago

lol i dont think KZ2 will even come close to halo..KZ3 maybe but KZ2 its a pretty low chance

cyrus2286304d ago

as much as i love my ps3 i know theres no way killzone 2's sales will come even close to halo 3's it just doesnt have the right advertisement, heck some idiots tried to pre-order it for 360 at my store. like above says, maybe kz3 because more people have to learn about it first.

thehitman6304d ago

Copy resistance matchmaking and rank system. Pwns all hands down.

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

OtterX578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne578d ago (Edited 578d 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-ro578d ago

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

just_looken578d 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

MDTunkown578d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72578d 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_looken578d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya578d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast578d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood578d 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.

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-ro807d ago

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

darthv72807d 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_807d ago

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

Cacabunga807d ago

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

Profchaos807d ago (Edited 807d 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

seanpitt23807d 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!

Iceball2000808d ago

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

Father__Merrin808d ago

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

InUrFoxHole808d ago

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

Marcus Fenix808d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989807d ago

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

1Victor808d ago (Edited 808d 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 😱

Michiel1989807d 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.

1Victor1112d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1112d ago

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

jznrpg1111d ago

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

badz1491111d 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!

Vengeance11381112d 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 Kim1112d ago

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

VersusDMC1112d 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?

Vengeance11381112d ago

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

solideagle1111d 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.

Phoenix761111d 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

REDGUM1111d ago

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

thesoftware7301112d ago (Edited 1112d 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.

blacktiger1111d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1112d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1112d ago (Edited 1112d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1111d ago

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

Imalwaysright1111d ago

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