if KZ2 played JUST like COD4 it would be bashed for not innovating the genre.

since its controls are different (IMO better) everyone complains because it isnt COD4.

damned if you do damned if you dont. i just hope GG doesnt cave in the whiners and change the controls.

Controller input delay =/= realism.

boodybandit6280d ago (Edited 6280d ago )

COD4 was far and away my favorite shooter this generation and I would have strongly disagreed with you after playing the KZ2 demo the first couple runs through.

Now that I have played and completed the campaign and have logged several hours online I can't help but agree with you 110%. KZ2 is amazing and now my favorite shooter this generation. The online is so addictive I literally have to set the alarm on my cell to stop playing the damn game and get back to life for a bit.

I literally was disappointed with the games controls at first and almost thought about passing up on it. What a mistake that would have been. This games controls are amazing once you understand what GG is going for with them. Absolutely phenomenal game and one of the best ranking systems ever. The more you evolve (unlock abilities and rank up) the more intense the game gets.

ParanoidMonkey6280d ago

Man, you sure are passionate... I wonder how excitable you'd be if you played real sim shooters, like OpFlash or ArmA.

I understand all of these fanboys are going through some sort of metamorphosis, sort of like when a girl's body starts changing and the confusion sets in, but Killzone 2 is still a fairly arcadey shooter. As arcadey as COD4 or Halo? Hell no. That doesn't make it the most realistic game ever made for Christ's sake.

Some of you guys are reminding me of teenage girls with their first boyfriends. They think they're in love, but they aren't. All this teenage melodrama and hormones really getting to them, much like hype and flamebait. If you hadn't noticed, fanboys are easily comparible to teenage girls going through puberty.

P.S. I love Killzone 2, I'm not trolling.

Cliffnotes:
- Fanboys are little girls.
- ArmA and Operation Flashpoint kick ass.
- So does Killzone 2, but in a different way.

ParanoidMonkey6280d ago

Pot, this is my good friend Kettle.

Anyway, my comment was directed at the masses, not FelinePornographer particularly (though he should think about settling down a bit). Seriously, you think no ones called Killzone 2 the most realistic game of all time? You should read the comment section of more Killzone 2 related articles buddy.

Stubacca6280d ago

Killzone is fantastic. I type this at work and can't wait to get home and thrash some folk online.

Great fun. Fantastic shooter. I feel so sorry for all you idiots out there too stubborn to play it.

IM NOT BASHING KZ2, IM SAYING THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE GAME BECAUSE THEY THINK IT'S MEANT TO BE LIKE COD BUT ITS NOT....OF COURSE ITS BETTER SMH!

interrergator6281d ago

agreed u r not ppl r still playin like call of duty its actually really funny

UnwanteDreamz6281d ago

I say if you want to play a game that controls like COD then play COD.

No reason you should stop playing COD if you think the controls are perfect. No reason KZ2 should change so that it can be more like COD.

Nothing more to say.

Mindboggle6281d ago (Edited 6281d ago )

WOW, can you people actually start typing properly, so it doesnt take me 5 minutes to decipher what your saying !

Especially you interrergator, have you even been to school ?

I dont think MSN and Text type is cool anymore, it just makes you look retarded.

LinuxGuru6281d ago

School? What about you?

You forgot an apostrophe (doesn't), and "you interrergator" = "your interrogator".

Don't pick on someone else's spelling or grammar unless you are fully prepared to perform admirably in both.

The gaming GOD6281d ago

Don't judge the grammar of someone when you're grammar isn't all that perfect either.

And for the record, so what? Type text or not, you understood what was said. Hell, my grammar isn't perfect either. Maybe I should pay someone to proofread my comments from now on huh?

SprSynJn6280d ago

If you read his post without putting your arrogance into full gear, and then look at the person he is referring to, you might notice you just embarrassed yourself. Funny when someone corrects someone else but fails to actually read what it is he is correcting.

Good try though.

RememberThe3576280d ago

But the least we can do is try to spell full words and not type like we're text messaging.

Mindboggle6280d ago

What are you talking about? If you would actually read my post then you would know you've just made a fool of yourself.....

Killzone2 is Killzone2. If you want to play an unrealistic shooter then by all means go and play COD4. Better yet go and play with your 2 year old Power Ranger i know you want to.

I know you wanna make 50 feet jumps while shooting in mid air with precision aiming lol. Get the f##k outer here man.

DK_Kithuni_716281d ago

I love Killzone 2 but still give people hell in World at War Free For All Deathmatch. Gotta have some love for the "Arcade Shooters" too.

See ya' online - come get some!

The Peoples ARMPIT6281d ago

He is not dissing COD4. I think he is basically trying to say Killzone2 is it's own game and in it's own league. For all the people that can't comprehend thit basic statement i ask you this, CAN YOU SMELL ME?

DK_Kithuni_716281d ago

So "If you want to play an unrealistic shooter then by all means go and play COD4. Better yet go and play with your 2 year old Power Ranger i know you want to." isn't dissing COD?

Sorry! My mistake..

Wake the hell up you smelly bastard!? Killzone 2 is great. I love it. Guerilla Games did a fantastic job. A must buy. Got it day one. Finished the Singleplayer and having the time of my life in Multiplayer. But that doesn't mean that all other First Person Shooters are "unrealistic" and to be compared with "Power Ranger" plastic toys.

Grow the hell up! Loose the fanboy attitude. There are other Shooters on the market. Some even do some things (not a lot) better than Killzone 2. Yeah! That's right. I said it!

Do you compute?

JasonPC360PS3Wii6280d ago

"Killzone2 is Killzone2. If you want to play an unrealistic shooter then by all means go and play COD4"

COD4 is based on modern warfare and Killzone 2 is a sci-fi shooter. How do you get "realistic" out of a sci-fi game?

rockleex6280d ago

and Gran Turismo are both based on modern times.

But one is a HELL of a lot more realistic than the other. Take a guess. ^_^

ya hes got a point ppl r ganna miss out in this once off game because of one little issue that they dnt wanna adapt with and all their complaining is putting other ppl off buying the game.

Johnny Rotten6281d ago

Going on 40hrs and it's only getting better!

btw did you notice no one does bunny hopping (I don't I need to mention any names).

LinuxGuru6281d ago (Edited 6281d ago )

Bunny hopping isn't really possible in KZ2 thanks to the great jumping animations and how lengthy they are. You can jump quickly enough but you can't shoot whilst jumping.

Bathyj6280d ago

That pretty much sums up the whole approach to Killzone. Its grounded in reality.

Bunnyhopping might be a legitimate tactic in Halo, but can you imagine someone on a real battlefield jumping around like a loon. You'd shoot him first wouldn't you just to take him out of the air.

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

OtterX570d ago (Edited 570d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne570d ago (Edited 570d 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-ro570d 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

MDTunkown570d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72570d 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_Suzumiya569d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast570d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood570d 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.

OtterX799d ago (Edited 799d 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-ro799d ago

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

darthv72799d 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_799d 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!

Iceball2000799d ago

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

Father__Merrin799d ago

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

InUrFoxHole799d ago

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

Marcus Fenix799d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989799d ago

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

1Victor799d ago (Edited 799d 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 😱

Michiel1989799d 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.

1Victor1103d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1103d 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!

Vengeance11381103d 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 Kim1103d ago

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

VersusDMC1103d 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?

Vengeance11381103d ago

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

solideagle1103d 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.

Phoenix761103d 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

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

thesoftware7301103d ago (Edited 1103d 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

talocaca1103d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1103d ago

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

Imalwaysright1103d ago

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