What to Expect from Killzone 2 DLC

Killzone 2 is finally out, and it is hot. But already, people are asking about DLC. What will it be? When can we expect it. Well, CGReviews wanted to share its two cents. Some of this is based from whispers around GG studios, but the rest of it will probably come across as common sense. Without further adieu, here are three things to expect from Killzone 2 DLC.

I would love to have CO OP for free. HMM? How about a map pack that is exactly the opposite of the ones in the game? It would be all green and lush and colorful like uncharted. That game still has one of the best graphics this gen.

madpuppy6270d ago

Man, I want a Snowy environment to fight in!
snow drifts and heavy gusting whistling wind.
What would be cool is if there was an episode expansion that included a mission framework that Dropped your team near one of the poles to blow up a research facility
developing numerous weapon based technologies. maybe an underground cave network and possibly have the main facility inside a mountain. It would also be cool to fight winter troops. geared up in winter colors. would be a nice change.
and think of all the multiplayer levels you
could slice out of the winter maps!

actas1236270d ago

I agree. I love green environments in MP, thats why I liked COD3 MP even though the guns were crappy.

MONOLITHICIDE6270d ago

i want to have secondary fire, i miss it from the first killzone, but maybe have it as a medal or something so you have to work up to it in online, but for offline i want secondary from the start.

Cerberus21256270d ago

I'll love to play the game with a female character.Replace Sev and co with some beauties, that will make the game perfect in my eyes.

SiLeNt KNighT6270d ago

I think they will add vehicles. I don't remember the names but that walking robot and tank in single player would be fun to cruise around in. it would make more use of the rocket launcher. most of the time people kill me with it they take themselves out too. I passed on the COD4 DLC because the game was pretty boring by then. Kz2 DLC will be a for sure purchase for me. GG is doing an outstanding job providing for their customers.

I think:
-New maps for use with vehicles
-New vehicles
-Upgraded ranking
-Co-Op
-Helghast/zombie mode

rockleex6269d ago

Splitscreen!

Seriously, no splitscreen is REALLY hurting its potential sales. I don't care if they have to tone down the graphics to COD4 level. I still want it!

Not everyone has a good enough internet connection to play online. Not everyone would want to play against bots forever. And a lot of people just prefer going face to face against their friends in the same room!

I'm all for a great online service, but don't forget about the offline!

Just look at what splitscreen did for Motorstorm 2. Its AMAZING! Its CRAZY! Its LUNATIC! Splitscreen is what Killzone 2 needs.

Beardown826269d ago

First, they need to patch the game to add a party system for multiplayer, then worry about the co-op... but if they put in some co-op that would be sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

GarandShooter6269d ago

You're right Bear. Party system/friend invites is sorely missing.

I also like the author's vision for the DLC. The only question now is...When can I get it?

Bits-N-Kibbles6269d ago (Edited 6269d ago )

- Split Screen offline
- 4 play splitscreen LAN
- Co-op
- Killzone 1 online maps redone for KZ2 (Vetka maps) which includes snow, jungle, city, train station, space station and warzone forest bunkers
- Introduction of new weapons or ingame or KZ1 or KZLiberation weapons
- NEW MAPS!
- Vehicles (if done correctly)
- Recalibrate shot gun and sentry bots strengths
- Add dedicated servers for specific online game types
- more game types
- small character customizations
- Hardcore or multi-round (no respawn) games

velaxun6269d ago

-new maps
perhaps, just depends on the style. like others have mentioned snowy maps would be fun as hell. Anything else though I think would just be too similar to what GG already has in the game.

-vehicles
after playing CoD4, i'm strongly against vehicles now. I find they tend to unbalance the game way too much and people rush for tanks. It's a huge problem in CoD:WaW because people rush for tanks then, circle the maps racking up kills without getting any of the objectives.

-Co op
The game is not really designed with a split-screen co op feel really. There are some parts where it would fit but I'd assume if they were to add co op to the game it would be in the vein of R2 where it runs along-side the main story

-Party options
I praise GG for the stupendous Clan support, but it's the biggest pain in the ass when you want to get together with some friends and have a quick game of coordinated ass whooping, only to wind up split up in the teams. I think party support should be their number 1 priority for future patches.

Prototype6269d ago

How about a patch for those of us who have NAT 3 and can't enjoy online because of it?

And before people start saying stupid comments where I live the apt is behind a switch and theres no way around it outside buying a $80 month Cable line which is free through my rent.

meatnormous6269d ago

Not everyone has your problem. See if your landlord will let you configure it to get you online.

bviperz6269d ago

in environments until the fight goes back to Earth or another planet. But that doesn't happen until Killzone 3. At least that's what I'm hoping for...

rockleex6269d ago

Its sad to see that people here don't want splitscreen. I guess people here haven't been to LAN parties before where you'll see Halo being hooked up with 4 players on each system.

Why does Halo sell? Because its a decent FPS that has 4 player splitscreen with LAN.

Killzone 2 sells too, but its hurting to see that a lot of people I know won't be buying it because it doesn't have splitscreen. Yea, I know you guys will probably say "well too bad, they're missing out".

Exactly! They're missing out on one of the greatest FPS ever. Why? Because of the mere fact that there's no splitscreen. If I was Geurilla, I'd be sure to release splitscreen as soon as possible.

Kleptic6269d ago

this list is a little goofy...as the guy obviously hasn't checked the official forums, or the numerous interviews with guerrilla...where there are several instances of GG more or less confirming vehicles being added to a multiplayer 'mode'...and that a fully reworked pack of 'favorites from killzone 1' was confirmed by Ebolt on the board back around launch...

PirateThom6270d ago

The style of the maps isn't as important as maintaining the balance they currently have, but definitely throw me down for "greener" environment.

RememberThe3576270d ago

That damn rocket launcher is a pain in the ass.

Kleptic6269d ago

the rocket launchers in killzone 2 are in my opinion the only flaw with the online portion of the game...the only single problem...

they NEVER should have been in there...we told them that in the beta...the assault class could be exactly the same, and only have options for LMGs...as not one class other than the pointless rifleman can even spawn with the LMGs...

the grenade launcher is ok I guess, takes a lot more talent to use...but the fact that GG put in a pair of over powered rocket launchers...without putting in the more modern arming mechanic (where you can only target a distant enemy with explosives like this, if they are too close...the weapon won't work)...so douche bags can just rush up to you and kill you and themself...is extremely disappointing...

but whatever...most servers with the best players have RL's deactivated anyway...so its not really a big deal...if GG didn't listen to us about them in the first place...the community will sort of phase them out anyway...I do like that GG let their dedicated servers host custom game modes...

legendkilla6270d ago

doesnt it come on a 50GB blu ray? im pretty sure is full dude

Ken92JP6270d ago

you do know each level is approximately 2gb. Without the blu-ray the game would have looked like crap (if killzone 2 was for the 360, this would be the case).

Conan9976270d ago

one of the guys from guerilla games stated KZ2 is on a 25 single layer blu ray, but its full.

he also mentioned anything less wouldn't be possible

El_Colombiano6270d ago (Edited 6270d ago )

Co-op wouldn't fit in the story if you ask me. They would have to add a considerable amount of new points of view if they were to add it. Sev is not always accompanied throughout the game. But I would love to see this engine with lush environments, although, Helghan isn't a planet of luchness.

da_hitman816270d ago

even though Sev is not always with someone. there are the times when he gets split up but in saying that if its done in Co-op. the person thats not playing Sev can play what the other character is playing or suppose to be doing.

Now that would be cool.

Silly gameAr6269d ago (Edited 6269d ago )

I bet it would be something like Resistance 1 Co-op,except you can take the campaign online. Even though it would be two of us playing, it wouldn't really effect the story line one bit.

And a snow MP map would be cool as hell. Or a swamp level. I want to see more Helgan wildlife like the giant spiders. I bet a Helgan crocodile would be f'ing HUGE.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic537d 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.

Storm23537d 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.

lockedongamer1537d ago (Edited 537d 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!

Chocoburger528d 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

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_looken570d 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_looken570d 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

Cacabunga799d ago

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

Profchaos799d ago (Edited 799d 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

seanpitt23799d 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 😱

799d ago
Michiel1989799d ago

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