The Napalm & Cordite map pack coming this Thursday will be what gets me back on Killzone 2. I cannot wait to play online with the flamethrower and most importantly the Bolt Gun. I would have to say the Bolt gun is one of my favorite guns of all time if not my favorite.

rukia_chan6074d ago

yep, this new maps is great.

Chubear6074d ago

for me it's the electric machinegun. The re-load animation for that gun is outstandingly incredible lol.

kaelix6074d ago

Electric gun? thought the only new weapons going to be released with the map pack were the flamethrower and the bolt gun o.o

Kleptic6074d ago

yeah no electric gun right now it seems, which is probably good...as you didn't even have to aim that thing...seeing the ridiculous death animations from that gun in the single player was unstoppable though...

I'm interested to see what happens with these new weapons in MP though...the bolt gun was very powerful, but pretty fair as it was difficult to aim at distance...the flame thrower was good too, as its limited range made it only useful up close in tight areas...but in MP i'm wondering how it works...will the bolt gun be a one hit kill?...and once set on fire will you continue to burn until you are dead?...there is just a lot up in the air about it right now...

1.28 is awesome though...got a few hours in earlier today...the new medic gun bolt is completely awesome, wish it was like that all along...i was running around as a medic non stop just to watch it...and the server profiles are PERFECT now...its what we wanted since the beta...the game is still my go to MP right now anyway, glad to see its still being touched up regularly...

Can't wait for this map pack. The online keeps me coming back over and over again. Mainly for the clan battles. So much fun.

StanLee6074d ago

I was playing a couple of nights ago. I'll probably have a go at it later.

gambare6074d ago

I haven't tested the control fixes yet, are they noticeable?

CyberCam6074d ago

Trust me when I say, IT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE from the original controls, in regards to the sensitivity. It's how the game should have been in the first place.

When I originally got the game (day 1) I love it but I was frustrated with the sensitivity of the controls (always over shooting my target). I finished the single player & tried the multi-player but I couldn't get hardly any kills because my aim was that bad. I played for several weeks and then let it collect dust.

However, I decided to give it another go when the 1.27 patch was released and man, there hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't played it! That's how good the patch is!

talltony6074d ago

they bundle them all together like they did with the warhawk maps.

Blogz4Fanboys6074d ago

yeah the control fixes do make the game controls much better. get yourself a x-battle adaptor and a wired 360 pad to use with, and trust me...it's even better again.

as long as you like the 360 pad that is.

EXCLUSIVEGAMER6074d ago (Edited 6074d ago )

im fighting visari on elite and theres alot of glitches after the update. particularly the floor is now a shiny metal texture and the higs get stuck by visari.

edgeofblade6074d ago

Air support is once again a waste.

yay.

DaTruth6074d ago

I liked the old controls! I would overshoot for the first five minutes everyday, waving my gun back and forth, but after that it would come back and I'd be slaughtering again.

Now the noobs will be good without a rocket launcher!

Rainstorm816074d ago

No more buck rodgers health gun. They changed it, now it resembles lightning. Nice little touch.

@Edge of blade

They fixed Air support in the last patch. They are as strong as the ground turrets

FAIL

gambare6074d ago

cool thing then, I been busy with BF1953 then it's time to buy the new maps

Kleptic6074d ago

yeah 1.28 tweaks it a bit more too I think...haven't seen it confirmed, but the motion blur seems a little less drastic possibly because of some further optimization to the online code...it just looks a little bit smoother to me while turning with high sensitivity...it was very smooth before, but now it seems even a bit more...

but the 'high precision' option does make a pretty big difference...some like it...some hate it...at first I didn't like it because I was so used to the 'heavy' feeling of the original dead zones...but it makes a MASSIVE difference when using iron sights...before it was nearly impossible to keep a bead on someone at range that was moving across your screen...now you can do it without even thinking about it...

it changed the game a lot though...which is a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it...being that some maps are so big, the new controls put a whole lot more vulnerability to each player from bigger differences...guys that are good with the STA 11 can now pick you off from several hundred yards without even trying, even if you are boosting all over the place...

i suggest using it and just getting used to it...as it makes you better at range with nearly any weapon...the rocket launcher users claim it makes it too touchy, but I don't get half a shat what those guys think...as those weapons still suck anyway...

Ravage276074d ago

Can't wait to use boltgun wooo :D

Bnet3436074d ago

I got the update this morning. There is more information when searching servers now like if there is friendly fire or badges turned on or off.

RememberThe3576074d ago

I've been want that since the game launched. I didn't think they actually do it though.

Killjoy30006074d ago

I'm so glad that came with the new update. I was tired of punching in the game specifics in the title of the server. Now all we need is a damn party system.

Nick2120046074d ago

If they were to add a "true" party system similar to how Infinity Ward did it with Call of Duty 4, that would make the online experience 100% better and more enjoyable. It is a stuggle half of the time to get into a game with a friend before the room is full. If we had a party system, that would not be a problem although Guerilla Games stated awhile back that a party system would not work well considering how they designed the online experience. They need to focus on getting it worked out somehow.

Blogz4Fanboys6074d ago

and yeah a party system would make things a little easier joining friends agree 100%

Kleptic6074d ago

yeah it sucks that there is no 'real' party system...we were told it was because of the way Killzone 2 uses dedicated servers...but i don't buy that, as Resistance 2 also used dedicated hosting servers...and has THE best party system in a game to date...it was mostly overlooked I bet...and wasn't addressed early on in developing the online code...and now too much needs to be changed in order to get one to work...Killzone 3 will have it though, i guarantee that...

fyi though CoD 4 does not use dedicated servers...a player hosts every single online match...believe me, if killzone 2 used a host/client system in that fashion...it would be unplayable...we get access to 32 player matches with so much shat going on at once it will make your head hurt...but were denied a user friendly party system for random games (the party system for clan matches is perfect though)...it does suck, but you can't have everything I guess...

Killjoy30006074d ago

Why is everybody disagreeing with Nick? He's absolutely right and right along the lines of what I was thinking.

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_Suzumiya493d 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.

OtterX723d ago (Edited 723d 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 😱

723d ago
Michiel1989723d ago

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

SullysCigar1027d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1027d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1027d ago

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

jznrpg1027d ago

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

badz1491026d 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!

Vengeance11381027d 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 Kim1027d ago

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

VersusDMC1027d 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?

Vengeance11381027d ago

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

solideagle1027d 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.

Phoenix761027d 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

REDGUM1027d ago

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

thesoftware7301027d ago (Edited 1027d 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.

blacktiger1027d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1027d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1027d ago (Edited 1027d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1027d ago

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

Imalwaysright1027d ago

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