Killzone for Life… Literally

PlayStation LifeStyle writes:

"It takes a certain type of fan to be passionate enough about a game to make yourself into a walking, talking advertisement. Well one Killzone fan did just that, by having 'Killzone' tattooed on his leg, forever showing his love for the critically acclaimed FPS."

I can MAYBE understand a Helghast symbol, but just the word Killzone?

lociefer6081d ago

well cant blame him , the game is beyond aweosome

gambare6081d ago

umm.... maybe a haircut with the helgast emblem on the back of my head.... nothing permanent but pretty awesome.

ChickeyCantor6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

" well cant blame him , the game is beyond aweosome"

I can blame him, i mean even if the game is awesome, faboysism like this is just extreme.

(but then again he did get a HDTV and PS3?)

hakis866081d ago

This is actually old news, seen that picture sereval months ago

Tarasque6081d ago

I am sorry if you get a tattoo of a game on your arm, you might be a retard. And that would include all the idiots that got halo tatto's also. Just for the record.

IdleLeeSiuLung6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

I enjoy many things, more than I probably should, but I ain't tattooing anything on my body let alone a game title (or anything related) for that matter. Not for a TV+PS3 either.

I think there was this one guy that tattooed something on his forehead and got $30k. At least he got $30k and not $2k worth of electronics that will depreciate.

v1c1ous6081d ago

ever heard of viral marketing?

Karum6081d ago

He probably used a few $ out of that $30k and got the ink removed and still came out with a nice profit.

Not seeing the down side to that one lol.

Trebius6081d ago

The only tattoos I would expect anyone to get are retro type tattoos...like if I saw someone with a tattoo of mario's head (not huge) on his arm or something, I wouldn't think, what a geek...because Mario is and always will be what gave birth to video games.

I would probably sneak a little Star tattoo from mario somewhere on my body just to have it...small tattoos of games are ok, but your whole arm or back is just silly.

DaTruth6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

Pac-man says hi!

But I'm 30 and I am not old enough to get a Pac-man tattoo! That's even before my time.

Imagine a Double Dragon tattoo. Hm, maybe.

iamtehpwn6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

I give you mad props for being the only Nintendo Fanboy left.
I was, then I abandoned ship.
I'm aboard the S.S. Playstation now (I bought one the day it dropped to $400, and I haven't been more pleased with a system yet).
;D

Traveler6081d ago

I absolutely love Killzone 2, but I wouldn't tattoo any game's name on my body.

IdleLeeSiuLung6081d ago

Do you think people are gonna spend $30k on marketing without considering that possibility?

Reality is that he was bounded by contract to not remove it. I don't remember the details though.

MEsoJD6081d ago

Yeah sidars funny but Hey it keeps things interesting.

I mean some people can take the punishment of bad games on their system but not me. Nintendo died after N64.

PC/PS3 ftw!!!

theEnemy6080d ago

The Helghast symbol would have been much much cooler.

ObviousTruth6080d ago

exactly why tattoos are completely moronic. in hindsight, you almost always wish you would have gone with something else. and 10 years down the road none of his tattoos will mean anything.

never understood why ppl felt that they needed to identify themselves through permanently scarring their bodies.

oh well...not my skin.

kparks6080d ago

WOW what a loser..... im one of the people that didnt care for KZ i bought it played it a while then gave it to a friend and then he played it and didnt like it so he gave it back and now its at game stop i cant give uall a reason why i didnt like it because i like FPS i just didnt care for it i dont know why the graphics were good tho didnt like the controlls that much

Nelson M6080d ago

He could have had Halo Tattooed on his Arm

Marquis_de_Sade6080d ago (Edited 6080d ago )

If this tattoo is anything like the game, he will soon grow bored of it. I went back to Resistance 2/SOCOM as soon as I had unlocked most of the classes and side badges on my old, now hacked account, LibertineUK (that's before any of you claim otherwise based on my current PSN account).

And for those who say a Helghast symbol would be cooler, yes it probably would compared to this, but certainly not cool in relation to many other things.

ChickeyCantor6080d ago (Edited 6080d ago )

Wait did people actually think i was trying to bash a "sony" fan?
The same thing applies to those Halo fans.

sheesh...

"I give you mad props for being the only Nintendo Fanboy left.

Eh what?
Im a " Fan " Not fanboy, there is a difference you know.
And i own a PS3 too. So what was the point of your post really?
>_>?

Marquis_de_Sade6080d ago

Yes, I'm not entirely sure why iamtehpwn made that comment, reported for off topic - ness anyway.

It'll look pretty hilarious when he becomes an old man and has the word "KILLZONE" on his leg

LinuxGuru6081d ago

Just the Helghast or ISA symbols would be fine...don't put Killzone lol.

mastiffchild6081d ago

No, it's waaay too much innit?

Did anyone else see the copy of OPM UK last year with all the tatoos people had? One guy had PS3 lettering, one had the Bioshock chains(like your char)and, iirc, a couple had Ammy from Okami(very colourful as well as MASSIVE!)among others.

However, and though it's my favourite as well, the one which beats all for fanboyism(even the Halo and KZ goons) was this guy who'd had a frikkin' Dualshock carved in ink on his calf-real size and in a palm!

Why? Tats, if you must have 'em, are for your footy team(for either sex) or a LITTLE decoration(for the girls at best)but definitely NOT your favourite games-and under NO circumstance take the console war so seriously that you end up with a controller on your body!

Madness, proper madness!

Karum6081d ago

An awesome, likely expensive TV and a new PS3 for the price of a tattoo?

I'd have done it.

heroicjanitor6081d ago

People are acting like he did it because of his insane love for killzone, I'd do it for a Sony Bravia and a new ps3, probably with killzone bundled.

BYE6081d ago

Respect to you guys, I wouldn't wanna walk on the beach with a Killzone tattoo.

UltimateIdiot9116081d ago

If I was married, yes but since I'm not I wouldn't get a tattoo like that for a TV and PS3.

DaTruth6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

I already have those! It wouldn't be worth it for a pair. Come to think of it I already have two 46" HD televisions in my living room so this is a definite no-no!

@HeroicJanitor: The people who are acting like that, didn't read the article, as happens so much on N4G

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic457d 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.

Storm23457d 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.

lockedongamer1457d ago (Edited 457d 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!

Chocoburger447d 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

OtterX490d ago (Edited 490d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne490d ago (Edited 490d 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-ro490d ago

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

just_looken489d 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

MDTunkown490d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72490d 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_looken489d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya489d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast490d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood490d 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.

OtterX719d ago (Edited 719d 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-ro719d ago

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

darthv72719d 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_719d ago

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

Cacabunga719d ago

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

Profchaos719d ago (Edited 719d 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

seanpitt23719d 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!

Iceball2000719d ago

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

Father__Merrin719d ago

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

InUrFoxHole719d ago

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

Marcus Fenix719d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989719d ago

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

1Victor719d ago (Edited 719d 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 😱

Michiel1989719d ago

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