Making Killzone 3 What Killzone 2 Isn't (Better Even?)

Split-screen.com writes: "Killzone 2 has finally released, and while the world is still spinning, rumours have begun running rife about Guerrilla Games' working on the third (perhaps, final?) Killzone title for the Playstation 3, along with Killzone: Liberation 2. It's a big enough deal that the second game didn't exactly touch the pinnacle of perfection, as most detractors have been quick to point out, but it comes pretty damned close. Now, to make Killzone 3 better than Killzone 2? Quite simply, by taking everything that works and retooling it to not simply add to the game experience but expand upon it.

"Old players can test their skills in the new settings, new players can wallow in a fresh experience…but that's just the multi-player, and the beginning. Let's take it one step at a time."

that title doesnt make any sense

Nike6210d ago

Giving Killzone 3 all those features to make it different from Killzone 2 and perhaps better? It's only a guess, though. :D

MONOLITHICIDE6210d ago

Alright article but the author is trying to make KIllzone into some kind of RPG kind of game, sounds like to me atleast when i read it, but i do agree with some other stuff he mentioned, like a MAG still online, i just JIzzed in My PANTS

Nike6210d ago

I know. It's like he's assuming the cast of Killzone 3 will share the stage and play "Eyes on Me" while the protagonist romances a female Helghast soldier. :P

And on that last part, ew dude. >_<

GVON6210d ago

The MP graphics are so so, so Fing good.I struggle to believe i'm online at times,and with little to no lag for me.
not sure the name (desert with 3 bridges) the scale with that quality is mental,you can see the little lights of the men all the way across the map,you can see their guns light up areas around them,
You get blinded by the dust your teamates kick up if their running infront of you,and it's all crystal clear,technically it's a step up,no not a step,a whole fing fire escape up on anything i've seen on a console (and a good few Pc games),oh and before I forget it plays as great as it looks.

big thanks to GG and Sony for delivering on this,no matter if your a fanboy or not some games everyone has to hold their hands up and say I got spend time on this game.

How to make it better,I think it's to early to really talk in depth,but something i'd like is the proximity chat to be worked on.
In the Socom beta I would hear people talking as if they were in the game,with effects added based on the room or areas ambiance,it was brilliantly done,so like socom that would be open mic and squad talk should be toggle on and off.

Traveler6210d ago

I have never seen another multi-player game look this good, period.

The really amazing thing is, that it has the gameplay to match the graphics. It's truly an awesome game all around.

Chubear6210d ago

I've seen one other MGO. Not a big fa of the game but that's the first time I've ever seen an online game look like that. KZ2 has done the same and this speaks volumes.

Unicron6210d ago

What I'd like to see is a more robust party system and co-op. That's all so far. :-)

Major_Tom6210d ago

GG did that party system specifically so clan mates wouldn't hurt together, going around and destroying folks like they did in COD4.

OldParr6210d ago

i would like to see a theater mode where u can watch ur previous match...today i got the craziest and luckiest grenade kill and i didnt have the chance to have a replay. all games should have this just like halo3

InfectedDK6210d ago

Well I dont think that Killzone 2 is a game that wont have any patches, updates, extras, add-ons - If ya have heard of that before.. So ofcourse it will be perfect if it isn already now. The guys at GG will ofcourse listen to people and try to make the game superior to anything else. Already thinking of Killzone 3 getting the things Killzone 2 dont got right now is ridiculous.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic461d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23461d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger452d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

OtterX494d ago (Edited 494d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne494d ago (Edited 494d 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-ro494d ago

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

just_looken494d 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

MDTunkown494d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72494d 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_looken494d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya494d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast494d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood494d 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.

OtterX724d ago (Edited 724d 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-ro723d ago

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

darthv72723d 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_723d ago

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

Cacabunga723d ago

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

Profchaos723d ago (Edited 723d 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

seanpitt23723d 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!

Iceball2000723d ago

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

Father__Merrin723d ago

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

InUrFoxHole723d ago

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

Marcus Fenix723d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989723d ago

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

1Victor723d ago (Edited 723d 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 😱

Michiel1989723d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
