Killzone 2 Beta Ready?

The official Playstation forums are all abuzz with news that a Killzone beta may be prepping to launch in Europe.

According to poster Evil v2, he received a message from Killzone_Beta on his Playstation 3 asking him if he'd like to be involved in the network beta for the game when it launches. The message is signed Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

Why the hell did he wait until the end to ZOOM IN?

fenderputty6825d ago

I was thinking the same thing the whole time.

It would make sense that this game's beta would be in Europe first though. Being that GG is a dutch based dev and all. I'm extremely anxious for this game. I have high hopes and think Sony will deliver. There's just so much fanboyism and hype regarding this game that Sony stands to face a major lashing from the community if they fail.

The KEN KUTARAGI6825d ago (Edited 6825d ago )

I should have thought of this!
Create a Username "Killzone_Beta" and send a message to my friend asking him if he'd be interested in the Killzone 2 beta.
Creat all kinds of buzz until someone exposes it as a hoax...
Very original.

JsonHenry6825d ago

I want this game to kick so much arse they run out of arse and have to start kicking puppies instead... but I think we are going to hear a collective moan when this game is finally revealed for what it is.

But here is to hoping all this great power the PS3 is supposed to have is finally revealed.

Shadow Flare6825d ago

we europeans don't get so shafted after all!

CrazzyMan6825d ago

But i am not sure, is 1 month will be enough for developers to adjust all changes to the final MP game.
Anyway, it`s becoming Hot here.. =))

Violater6825d ago

I'm calling fake on this one.

fenderputty6825d ago

Still ... all this news is starting to get things warmed up for the 11th.

Omegasyde6825d ago

Ditto. They would of had sign up on the internet.

Seraphim6825d ago (Edited 6825d ago )

I've seen a few different people with this now today. So I doubt it's fake. Not saying it isn't or can't be but it seems real to me. Another instance had this sent to his in box, not from a friend. I really didn't pay much attention to the video here though so I don't know how it was received in this particular instance... Also coming from NA gamers on their NA account...

My gripe is why the hell didn't I get an invite? I've beta tested every single Killzone they've made so far and I didn't get an invite for this one? What gives!?

MK_Red6825d ago

I know its sounds unlikely but it was posted on Kotaku.com (David Jaffe's favorite site) so I think it deserves a bit attention, specially with news about Killzone 2 coming sooner than expected.

fenderputty6825d ago

More then just one person has reported getting an invite. It has yet to be confirmed but, apparently this rumor might have more clout then people think.

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

OtterX497d ago (Edited 497d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne497d ago (Edited 497d 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-ro497d ago

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

just_looken497d 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

MDTunkown497d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72497d 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_looken497d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya497d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast497d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood497d 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.

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-ro726d ago

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

darthv72726d 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_726d ago

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

Cacabunga726d ago

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

Profchaos726d ago (Edited 726d 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

seanpitt23726d 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!

Iceball2000726d ago

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

Father__Merrin726d ago

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

InUrFoxHole726d ago

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

Marcus Fenix726d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989726d ago

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

1Victor726d ago (Edited 726d 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 😱

Michiel1989726d 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.

1Victor1030d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1030d ago

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

jznrpg1030d ago

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

badz1491030d 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!

Vengeance11381030d 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 Kim1030d ago

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

VersusDMC1030d 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?

Vengeance11381030d ago

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

solideagle1030d 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.

Phoenix761030d 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

REDGUM1030d ago

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

thesoftware7301030d ago (Edited 1030d 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.

blacktiger1030d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1030d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1030d ago (Edited 1030d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1030d ago

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

Imalwaysright1030d ago

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