Killzone 2 at E3 – Cost $20 Million To Date

Killzone 2 is going to get the full E3 treatment, with its own party in a swanky sushi bar in Santa Monica and everything. It's on at the same time as the Microsoft conference and E3 party, no less! Take that Microsoft!

Apparently Killzone 2, developed by Amsterdam-based Guerilla Games, is the most expensive entertainment project in Dutch history, with a whopping great budget in excess of $20 million (£10 million).

to the microsoft conference then?

Babylonian6907d ago (Edited 6907d ago )

Sony is playing Microsoft at their own game.

*edit*
Great, I finally got 2 bubbles and now I'm back to one. Thank you Xbots, I guess you couldn't handle the pressure and you all reacted out on me. Well no matter, I don't blame you for being pissed because of the "Ring of Death". I would be angry too if I had such a flawed console.

WAR6907d ago

lol...This is something that MS would pull..But business is WAR

JsonHenry6907d ago

Why would anyone care about Killzone after playing the first one?

Yes, I know the E3 CGI trailer looked AWESOME... but come on guys, do you really think the game is going to look even close to that?

Crysis is looking like that...why wouldn't other new games be that good? I am not saying Killzone is crysis...but with money...anything possible...:) We shall see Killzone @ E3...

Blabbermouth6907d ago

I didn't think it was that bad of a game. If your talking about the looks, its actually a really good looking game, once you get past the first two levels(the first two levels are really boring looking). As for the gameplay I thought it wasn't too bad, not amazing, but it was ok.

If you look back at it now,it did a few things first. A few games today copied it to an extent, Gears of War copied the look of the sprinting, both Gears of War and the Riddick game copied the animated melee kills.

psycho3606907d ago

@kaneda..

You dumb or what? Crysis is looking like that cuz its running on a system with a vga card more expensive then the ps3 itself. If sony wanted their console to play games and cost $700, then instead of bluray, they should have included an expensive vga card in it so that it cud come up with crysis like graphics. But they wanted to push their video player instead.

" It's on at the same time as the Microsoft conference and E3 party, no less! Take that Microsoft!"

Wow that is so evil, why would Sony do such a think.Well, I guess that's how the buisiness is then. Anyway, I think that Microsoft might also try to do something like at the time of Sony's Presentation, but the only think is that they really dont have anygame that would justify missing a Sony Presentation. The best they have is Halo 3, and we all saw that already. The thing is that Sony and Nitendo have a lot more that would amaze you than Microsoft.

sack6907d ago

but they use killzone to counter microsoft e3... am i right???

original seed6907d ago

Each Media (site, journalist, etc) dont usually work solo. This means that they can be in two places. So for example, Ziff davis (1up show) will send a couple people to get the scoop on KZ2 and others will attend Microsofts event.

Personally, i hope the release media either good or bad on Killzone. I hope they are not bound by contract to be silent. That would suck.

21mill actually, plus these news are old if you go to gamespot.com and their killzone page you'll see that 21mill news has been posted there like 6 months

Monchichi0256907d ago

That is def. a lot of money for a game.

But then again, "Water World" was also once the most expensive movie ever to be made.

The NY Yankees have had the highest payroll in Baseball and haven't won a championship.

Killzone 2 may have a lot of money put in it but it does not have any solid foundation to stand on. The first one was HORRIBLE (yes I did play it) and all part 2 is, is a continuation of the same game.

Kleptic6907d ago (Edited 6907d ago )

ha Terminator 2 was also once the most expensive movie made...and it still is awesome...

and what are you talking about with the Yankees?...what does that even mean?

@pLaystation...

dude like 16 years later...All of Cameron's action movies are some of the best...True Lies was great...The Abyss is still one of my all time favorites...and who could forget the orginal Terminator followed by Aliens...oh yeah and Titanic was the greatest action moive EV4R1eleven...er, w/e...

Only action movies to compete with T1/T2 (the third one was a disaster)...is the original Die Hard...that one is tough to beat, despite being totally different...haha I still have all my T2 collector cards and action figures from 3rd grade...

Anyone remember T2 the arcade game...where you gun thing...It never got a good port (I had it on Game Gear, oh man it sucked)...but that was one of my favorite arcade games of my childhood...

pLaystation6907d ago

Terminator 2 = Best Movie EVER 10 year later it still holds up.

QuackPot6907d ago

Star Wars is the greatest movie ever....

It set a whole new standard for blockbusters which all others follows.

Sounds familiar....with gaming consoles. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Halo lovers will begin to be rip-sh1t at M$, and Bungie for putting out crap on a "next-gen" hardware. Their love for Halo will FADE AWAY when this game is shown more and more....HAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA HHA

Hope the game is as fun as it was expensive to make... I don't care if the budget was $65 in foodstamps...lol, long as its fun....

bigmack6907d ago

the halo3 beta sucked @ss. warhawk beta was waaaaaaaaaay better.

Machety6907d ago

I really dont why these XBots took my bubbles off for sayin the same comment. I agree with you man, Halo 3 is cool but Warhawk is offering so much more. I really dont see the big deal with Halo 3 anyway. I really hope killzone 2 kills the Halo 3.

23478ueyur_9382236907d ago

Sorry bigmack, but seeing as your gamertag is "XBOTS SUCKS" (which is grammatically incorrect anyhow) your opinion is not valid.

Although I do think the Warhawk beta is quite fun. I wish I got in...

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

OtterX579d ago (Edited 579d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne579d ago (Edited 579d 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-ro579d ago

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

just_looken579d 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

MDTunkown579d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72579d 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_looken579d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya578d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast579d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood579d 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.

OtterX808d ago (Edited 808d 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-ro808d ago

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

darthv72808d 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_808d ago

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

Cacabunga808d ago

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

Profchaos808d ago (Edited 808d 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

seanpitt23808d 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!

Iceball2000808d ago

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

Father__Merrin808d ago

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

InUrFoxHole808d ago

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

Marcus Fenix808d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989808d ago

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

1Victor808d ago (Edited 808d 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 😱

Michiel1989808d 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.

1Victor1112d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1112d ago

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

jznrpg1112d ago

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

badz1491111d 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!

Vengeance11381112d 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 Kim1112d ago

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

VersusDMC1112d 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?

Vengeance11381112d ago

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

solideagle1112d 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.

Phoenix761112d 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

thesoftware7301112d ago (Edited 1112d 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.

blacktiger1112d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1112d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1112d ago (Edited 1112d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1112d ago

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

Imalwaysright1112d ago

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