Can we please stop listing things a game doesn't have as a negative? (co-op)Half Life 2 and Bioshock don't have multiplayer, should their scores be knocked down, or should they be rated on what they have?

GAMER NOT FANBOY6286d ago

bioshock is not the type of game to have coop how would that make sense in its story. killzone it would make sense because its a squad in a military.

SprSynJn6286d ago

I don't recall anyone complaining about COD4's lack of co-op.

piam456286d ago

it until party system is patched its boring joining your mates on a different team

MrJack6286d ago

Try alt 2 with hold zoom, its almost COD4

JOLLY16286d ago

You want someone to buy this game, so they can have an experience almost as good as COD? Why don't they just keep play COD?

iHEARTboobs6286d ago (Edited 6286d ago )

"You want someone to buy this game, so they can have an experience almost as good as COD? Why don't they just keep play COD? "

What the hell are you talking about? How does that have any relevance to what he said?

JOLLY16286d ago

says the controls aren't good. Then mrjack said "if you blah blah blah, it makes the controls almost like COD". I asked why have lesser controls? Why not just play a good game with good controls, ala COD? Do you need pictures?

Kyur4ThePain6286d ago (Edited 6286d ago )

So according to you, Jolly, COD has absolutely the best controls of any FPS?
Because you're implying that being "almost COD" (note, he didn't say almost as good as) is somehow worse.
It's pretty obvious he was referring to the fact that people have become so accustomed to COD controls that it might help them if they can change the KZ2 control setups to mimic those of COD.
I just want to make I understand what you're trying to say before I point at my monitor and start laughing hysterically.

JOLLY16286d ago

I was just asking why "if he likes COD controls....why is he trying to play a game that has lesser controls". As you can read (hopefully) in my comments, I never once talked about my preferences. I know that some people have problems with a.d.d. and can't quite focus on stuff for a very long period, but seriously it was only a couple sentences.

iHEARTboobs6286d ago

That's got to be one of the dumbest things i've heard Jolly. How does a suggestion from switching the controls to something more familiar become a negative?

"Why not just play a good game with good controls, ala COD? Do you need pictures?" Really, Jolly? Then you say this: "Oh no I don't even like COD." A good game yet you don't like it? Contradict yourself much?

And no, i don't need pictures, just a hint of common sense from you. I feel dumber for even trying to reason with you.

Yep, too bad Killzone 2 has no coop, yesterday a buddy wanted to see how looked Killzone 2 in multiplayer but we couldn't play both on split-screen, so we gone to Resistance 2. Less wonderful in a technical side, but at least we can play with friends.

Bladestar6286d ago

Sony dedicated all the system resources into making the game look pretty... hence why:

- Very short campaign
- Lack of co-op play

GAMER NOT FANBOY6286d ago

so your saying the ps3 cant run a pretty game that has coop or is long? im sure they havent used up a 50 gig blu ray

Obama6286d ago

hey bladestar did you know halowars flopped?

Bladestar6286d ago

@Obama - how could of? HaloWars release date is Mar 3, 2009.
Damn osama... at least educate yourself and know the release dates.

I think you have the whole flop concept all screw up. A game flops when there are super high expectations and not only gets the worst reviews... but no one buys it or at least sales do not match the hype...
because no one wants to buy a flop game.

If Halowars flops in terms of sales and reviews compare to all the other RTS games on game consoles... then it will be a flop...

Got to wait... until it comes out.

One thing is certain about Kill Zone 2... it's a short game.. just like Metal Gear was... HaloWars at least have more gameplay to offer.

Obama6286d ago

I am talking about the bad reviews of course, who cares about the sales except for 360 fanboys?

JOLLY16286d ago (Edited 6286d ago )

I do know that there is a nationwide midnight launch for Halo Wars, yes kz2 only had a few stores open. Now, for people that care about sale. I am quite sure game developers care about sales. I wonder if that's why the 360 sees so much love from game developers. people that own 360s buy games.

JuJuRMJ6286d ago

Did you forget that multiplayer is included....Hey x-bot the multiplayer alone will have gamers playing for quite some time, so what you said is null..Don't be so hurt, go play with your calculator some more and inform us ps3 owners about our tax cut. X-bots = Numbers, cuz we all know numbers make a GAME good right? Not quality as all the x-butts like to spew around here.

JOLLY16286d ago (Edited 6286d ago )

I got $3000 back...what you told me to inform you. I am getting the new red RE5 bundle (yup to go with my rrod). Oh sad, did I take your joke from you? Oh and he never said a word about multiplayer. He was talking about co-op. yes, those are two different things. See multiplayer is where.....oh forget it, you're too slow.

xbollox6286d ago

it makes halo3 look like a kiddy dikky game for n00bs, it's hilarious.
i understand why you're so jealous, it's truly the must have game of this gen, hands down, you guys are just missing out on something huge and you know it. ok, enough pwnage, back to the killzone

XD

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

OtterX569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne569d ago (Edited 569d 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-ro569d ago

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

just_looken569d 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

MDTunkown569d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72569d 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_looken569d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya568d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast569d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood569d 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.

OtterX798d ago (Edited 798d 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-ro798d ago

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

darthv72798d 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_798d ago

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

Cacabunga798d ago

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

Profchaos798d ago (Edited 798d 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

seanpitt23798d 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!

Iceball2000798d ago

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

Father__Merrin798d ago

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

InUrFoxHole798d ago

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

Marcus Fenix798d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989798d ago

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

1Victor798d ago (Edited 798d 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 😱

798d ago
Michiel1989798d 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.

1Victor1102d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1102d ago

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

jznrpg1102d ago

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

badz1491102d 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!

Vengeance11381102d 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 Kim1102d ago

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

VersusDMC1102d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

REDGUM1102d ago

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

thesoftware7301102d ago (Edited 1102d 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.

blacktiger1102d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1102d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d ago

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