Yes, yes indeed my young Helghan

ambientFLIER6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

I heard it's coming out in 2 months! Totally true!!! LOL XBOX LOL BYE BYE !!!

sigh

Remember, a sequel to a flop is guaranteed to be yet another flop.

Obama6012d ago

A 91 average game is a flop? Well I guess ODST must be a flop flop.

ambientFLIER6012d ago

Yes, because you never claimed any high-ranked xbox game to be a flop, right?

Saaking6012d ago

Wait, you bots were saying flopza wasn't a flop because it scored well. Now you're saying KZ2 is a flop because it didn't do halo numbers. Which is it bots? Sales or scores? Make up your minds, hypocrites.

Better have split-screen co op. No excuses now.

Fishy Fingers6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

Wouldnt get your hopes up, KZ seems focused to showcasing technical prowess. Split screen support isnt something I think they'd be focussing their time on.

Not that I wouldnt want to see the feature, I'm just being realistic. Co-op will be included I'm sure, but I highly doubt split screen (in any form) is even really being considered.

Fishy Fingers6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

Will be put to full use I'm sure, much like KZ2 which demonstrated excellent engine architecture to take advantage of the SPUs. But split screen has shown to have little importance in developers priorities this generation, the WOW factor seems to come first.

Plus producers/platforms want to push their online capabilities. They'd rather you bought 2 copies than share one, I'm sure.

pixelsword6012d ago

and splitscreen multiplayer; Let the single player be the killer graphics, I'd love to have a friend over and play some killzone with him/her; and if you ever played "strip (insert splitscreen game here)" with friends (no nudity, though) it's loads of fun.

sikbeta6012d ago

"KZ seems focused to showcasing technical prowess. Split screen support isnt something I think they'd be focussing their time on"

KZ2 manage to do Amazing Graphics, If they need to sacrifice graphics for split-screen, is not a big loss, I'm sure GG will do an slightly better game with split-screen + co-op mode included

GAMERS FTW!!!

Xbox Avatars Shoe6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

Obviously KZ3 is going to be made.

They better include split-screen co-op this time! My brother-in-law would rather PLAY KillZone than sit and watch ME play it.

Hellsvacancy6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

Split screen sucks - i wanna FULL screen when i game, co-op would b cool though

Saaking6012d ago

Can't wait. Whenever they release it, KZ3 is bound to be EPIC.

mastiffchild6012d ago

Splitscreen isd ying outside of the Wii-and it really isn't just GG or KZ2 and 3 responsible for that. Few PS360 games have it this gen and I see no change back anytime soon-sad but true.

And didn't we all kind of assume GG were making this and it'd prolly be out next year?

ape0076012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

game good experience,my biggest advice for gurella games is that

if you look at the 2005 trailer and the full game 2009,99% of people talk about how GG reached there goal in gfx and GG did the impossible but if you really focus on the 2005 trailer,you'll see more drama,more intensity more grittness,voice acting was much better than the full game,the 2005 trailer felt more heart pulsing.it felt So unique while the full game felt special of course but way less than trailer,it's a bit cold in comparison,matter of fact that kz2 didn't have much SOUL or CHARACTER like cod 4,uncharted 2,mgs4 or gears of war,hope they focus on characters too,if you look at it,completeing one shot one kill with mcmilan in cod 4 is much more intense and dramatic than completing the first mission with garza in kz2(although I liked garza)

So GG that's my advise for you guys and good luck :)

look at it again,see how it feels emotional and epic and how voice work was great

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

what do you guys think?? let's have a great discussion

Lifendz6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

Do:
Have high precision controls included at launch. I think only having the clunky controls turned a lot of people away from the game.

Think about expanding the size of a map and possibly add vehicles. There was a tank in single player and not in an area where you could really maneuver. Get that bad boy in multiplayer!

Give players the knife in multiplayer.

Include co-op single player campaign. God that would've been awesome for KZ2. Especially on the last stage. If you can't do it in single player, do like Insomniac did and create a seperate co-op campaign with side missions. This should be easy because the war is on a global scale. Plenty of room to show other conflicts.

Allow for customizable online chars. And if you incorporate some sort of prestige like feature, and give upgrades for armor, helmets, etc, I think you extend the life of your game immensely. Just think if you hit General, took prestige, and got some cool armor to wear.

Maybe include a few more large set piece type battles. KZ2 was about an invasion but it really felt like 20 guys invading on their own.

Have a collectors edition with behind the scenes stuff. If it's a franchise I love (like God of War and Killzone) I enjoy watching all the stuff that goes into making it.

Don't:

Change the art direction. Love the distinct look of the game.

bring back trophies for finding all the symbols or intel. God that got tedious.

Tone down Elite mode. I repeat, DON'T TONE DOWN ELITE MODE. I love having that trophy because it took a lot of friggin work to get it.

Bring back Rico. In fact, let some of us kill Rico before the game starts. Or maybe during every loading screen.

HolyOrangeCows6012d ago

With Such a magnificent game as Killzone 2 was.....a sequel was imminent.

sukTHEfac6012d ago

haven't you learned anything from the past huge releases?

Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2 namely:

They specifically said no co-op because it would ruin the campaign experience. I'm sure there will be tons of new multiplayer modes that will keep you and your friends happy, so dont fret.

they have a great excuse not to put split screen co-op

they boast experience and graphics - both would be hindered by split-screen

DaTruth6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

"DO: Have high precision controls included at launch. I think only having the clunky controls turned a lot of people away from the game."

DO: let everyone who wants that, go somewhere else. That's what the other 99% of FPS's are for! Also, it would hardly be fair to have half the people plying clunky controls and half with high precision!

You guys always do this, and then we end up with Resistance 2! Every FPS shouldn't be the same and I prefer I have a good game with one million people than the same old $hit with 5-10 million people. If I wanted COD:MW, I would have bought it!

Playing great original games > TEH SALES

Xbox Avatars Shoe6012d ago

Are you kidding me? The voice acting in that trailer sucks and the whole seen just seems off. KZ2 has better graphics, voice acting and flow.

ape0076012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

trailer,everything seemed more serious

and I agree with gfx

jjohan356012d ago

They better not release this in 2010. Leave some room for Insomniac and Resistance 3. We're still playing Killzone 2.

ChozenWoan6012d ago

As for the controls, they are right where they need to be right now. Only thing missing is... uhhh.... uhhh... ohh yea, more vehicles. Give us jeeps, tanks, and mechs in large multiplayer maps, I'd say about Phyrus's size or 1.5 it's size at max. More mission types, more unlockables, and require that badges be unlocked to go up levels instead of an indiscriminate score. Nothing worse than being on a team with a Tac dropping two spawn points near your own base when the objective is clear across the map.

rockleex6012d ago

Why?

If your friends are just watching you play, they'll never get to experience the game for themselves. So they most likely won't buy the game unless they were interested in buying it to begin with.

Even if you let them experience the game for themselves, they won't be having the fun factor of "OH HELL YES!! I just killed all three of you dumb@sses in a row! Booyah!"

That fun factor will get them to buy the game in a split second.

I don't care if the graphics are toned down in splitscreen mode, just give me it! >:D

Ravage276012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

seems to be the only FPS that generate any sort of excitement for me now, i'm really excited to see what GG are doing to push the series forward. Can't wait for E3 2010!! ^^

edit* i'll love to have splitscreen but it won't be a deal-breaker if it turns out without one. I'm accepting the fact that splitscreen gaming is going the way of the dodo nowadays, very few games this gen supports it.

Bagogames6012d ago

A co-op like MW2 are doing, much more manageable.

chisox1006012d ago

My KZ3 wish list:

Campaign or Other type of co-op.

More variety in the already addictive multiplayer (tanks, actually flying the ATACS and more guns)

Offline multiplayer, it doesn't have to be the same as the co-op or VS mode but something I can play offline with friends.

Better story, KZ2 had a very good storyline but little character development which it needed.

grantps36012d ago

if it has anytype of co-op and a little bit of a stronger storyline it will be epic.

also i would like more of those HOLY SH!t moments like they had in uncharted 2. it would be amazing

pixelsword6012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

Killzone 1's plot was so well done, it's on my top 10 of all time best storylines for a game. Killzone 1 was in terms of story was the only story for a game to ever have a "Star Wars" feel, although some of the gameplay skunked the otherwise great, but "led" AI which failed to react when melees were concerned. Liberation had a good storyline as well, but K2's was a little too direct and dry in comparison.

JBaby3436012d ago (Edited 6012d ago )

The story would have been 10 times better if you were given the option to kill Rico. I couldn't stand him. Otherwise I liked the story it just needed some better dialogue to pull it through. Can't wait for Killzone 3 though as Killzone 2 was excellent overall. And yes split-screen co-op would be a welcome addition in both SP and MP against bots.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic511d 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.

Storm23511d 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.

lockedongamer1510d ago (Edited 510d 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!

Chocoburger501d ago

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

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

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1077d ago

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

jznrpg1076d ago

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

badz1491076d 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!

Vengeance11381077d 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 Kim1077d ago

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

VersusDMC1077d 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?

Vengeance11381077d ago

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

solideagle1077d 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.

Phoenix761077d 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.

blacktiger1076d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1077d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1077d ago (Edited 1077d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1076d ago

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

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

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1828d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1828d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1827d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1827d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1827d ago
Vegamyster1827d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1827d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1827d ago (Edited 1827d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

MadLad1827d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1827d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip
