I'd be very honest. The first game wasn't very good. Needs a lot of tweaking.

.
If the rumor turns out to be true.

raztad5774d ago (Edited 5774d ago )

Tweaking is something every remake has for granted. I mean GoW Collection got 720p 60fps 2xAA trophies. Sly Cooper collection is getting a lot of goodies as well.

If there is a PS2 game that would benefit with a remake is KZ1. 720p 30fps (it doesnt need more) + some trophies and 2xAA, would make of this game a great one.

creatchee5773d ago

Honestly, there are much better choices for an HD treatment than Killzone 1. The problems with the game had nothing to do with the graphics (which were excellent at the time). The problem with Killzone 1 is that it was an average game (not bad, not good) with really nothing special about it. A new coat of paint isn't going to change that.

raztad5773d ago

I have to respectfully disagree. The gameplay in KZ1 was even more variated (4 playable characters, stealth) than KZ2, with more variety in their missions and a LONG single player campaign. In fact I have the feeling KZ3 is like KZ1 in super steroids + KZ2 semi gun porn.

The graphics in KZ1 were good but the framerate was extremely poor dragging the whole experience, I feel the game will feel "new" if it gets a fluid framerate.

I'm not holding my breath on this by any means. I already beat KZ1 and I dont know if I'd want to replay it.

creatchee5773d ago

I understand what you're saying. My point was that there were a lot more games deserving of the update before KZ1

SpLinT5773d ago

How exactly is KZ2 any better than KZ1? You could pick from 4 characters with different styles, stealth , Rico's machine gun, etc.

ONLINE, also had MORE maps and better MODES, more info before joining a room online, more VARIETY. Jungle, Space, Snow is the only thing KZ3 will have. Only a fraction of what KZ1 had.

KZ1 is the superior game. Hands down.

KiasuKiasiMan5774d ago (Edited 5774d ago )

The basis for this article was that Guerilla Games gave a "No Comment" when asked if there would be a Killzone remake, which led the site to take it as a yes. Now I know why David Jaffe flat out denied Twisted Metal rather than a no comment.

Anyway, a Killzone remake using Killzone 3's gameplay and graphics engine but the Killzone 1 story would be great.

M4ndat0ry_1nstall5774d ago

That wouldn't be a remake, it would be a reDESIGN.

A remake of Killzone would put KZ2/3 to shame. So I doubt this is true.

NarooN5774d ago

KZ1 was amazing for what it was. All the "ZOMG killzun suxx XD" bandwagoners only said that because they read reviews all day. The game still had like 70% on Metacritic (not that I ever go by reviews anyway) so bah.

I spent years playing it online. it was the perfect MP shooter for me. They don't need to change ANYTHING. Just up-res everything, with 60fps and trophies and I'll buy MYSELF 20 copies.

jaredhart5774d ago

I would love to give it a shot.

OhReginald5774d ago

0_0....killzone 1 in HD, 60 fps, and trophies? PLEASE!!!

Rich16315774d ago (Edited 5774d ago )

Never played the first but from what I heard it sucked major a$$...Killzone 2 was one of the rare sequels that took all the criticism to heart and brought the house down.

duplissi5774d ago

its issues were technical (it was too much for the ps2)... ie if they remaster or remake it all those issues will be gone.

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation384d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear21383d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon384d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga383d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage383d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing383d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Killzone composer would love a remaster trilogy, “don’t know if a new game” would be successful

Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga389d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM389d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box388d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia389d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac387d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE389d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM389d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB389d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion388d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps389d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai484d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga484d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid483d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness483d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt483d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider482d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH482d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn484d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion484d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
