He is the only journalist who actually played the game, not some guy who watch the trailer and started to not like what he see's. Why was this aproved ?

http://blog.newsweek.com/bl...

wtf, half his comparisons to the original Killzone are incorrect.
And what planet is this guy living on? Call of Duty 5?????

lol yer call of duty 5 derp

this guy is moronic.
nuff said.

actually i wanna say more
does anyone think that he's doing it on purpose, so that it would create a stir? considering the rave responses that it got from everywhere else.

just some bs preview by a moron.

thing i'm mad about killzone is they made their bullets fire like in gears of war, me being person who owns many weapons sees it as fake, tracer round don't look like that they move much faster and don't glow that much and the whole cement damage scene, bullet bounce off stuff like that they don't put a huge whole in it, but other then that it looks great

never heard of this website... I could care less what deeko.com has to say about a game in which they couldn't get to see first hand.

EDIT: Just found out deeko is a start-up 1up.com/IGN/kotaku/games radar wannabe website. There are a total of 5 people working for this "Deeko" yawn @ deeko.

if it's crap it's crap if it's good it's something to rub in a microbot's face lol man i crack my self up.... i just want games to play or more demos until the games come out that's all everything else is just whatever to me

with incubus, if it's good awesome. If it's nothing but pretty graphics whatever as well. I just want a new Panzer Dragoon, I don't care what system. lol

this article, this has nothing to do with the game really. It's rehtoric and guessing. Read the newsweek article for a hands on impression. This guys a moron.

Dissappointed fanboys.

Now, i'm gonna get this game, so it's not like you can call me "Poor xbot. MGS4 OMG ROFLCOPTER!!"

It just seems that one person decided to analyze the gameplay and not the graphics, which is all fanboys are doing.

To be honest, i don't think this game is going to be anything special. It's gonna look pretty, but just average in terms of gameplay. I'm still gonna get it, as i said. There's nothing wrong with an average, run of the mill, shooter. I enjoyed Resistance.

But, no one can call this best or worst game as of yet. Fanboys are getting over excited, and that is all i have to say. Great graphics NEVER guarantee great gameplay.

Mr. Noval*insertrandomnumberherebe causeofthelackoforiginalityiny o urusername*

Just a quick point. The page you see with the staff members is slightly outdated. We have quite a few people writing for us currently. Some freelance, some full time staff members. Although you may have missed the point of the feature, I must take complete offense to being compared to 1up. Ewww, Last time I checked we didn't have a hentai club or blogs where people could talk about how someone cut them off in traffic. Secondly, the site has been around since 1998 and is just now finding its way. A startup site? Hardly.

Let's also not mention the fact that if the article was written in a "positive" nature, no one would be complaining at all despite it still being an article based on opinion, which correct me if I'm wrong is what gaming is really all about. From reviews to features, games and their fans are an opinionated lot, and always will be. In terms of some who have made the sweeping blanket statement that we are "all" PS3 haters, this is also a falsehood. Many of us on staff own the console. The real problem people seem to forget is the system hasn't shown us anything concrete. We all hope the PS3 succeeds. More system successes means more great games for everyone. It's really quite sad the gaming community as a whole is completely obtuse when it comes to other opinions and their first instinct is to attack instead of debate or discuss. Not that I'm surprised at this.

Considering you have made an assumption about who we are as a whole because of a few current articles, allow me to do the same about you for arguments sake.

Your avatar speaks volumes of your intellect Jethro.

actually read this article? He's not slamming the game. lol Just talking about the gameplay of the first one and what it looks like it's going to be for the sequel.

for someone who doesn't even seem to have a good grasp on the first Killzone, let alone the second one. The fact that grenades can no longer be cooked (as cool as they were in single player) is a great decision since players should be given at least a second or two to react to them; in KZ1, it was typical to have grenades explode a few feet above you in multiplayer, simply because people were constantly cooking grenades up until the last possible second. Rockets cause a lot of damage, but the long reload times made them less than ideal in the online arena, especially since me and the guys started tossing grenades with damn good accuracy at distances of around 150 feet.

I know a lot of people, including myself, who hated the sniping system in KZ1, so I’m praying that it’s closer to Halo 2’s sniper gun in terms of the zoom and aim function. I’m not sure why the author of this article was so scared about Killzone’s weapons lacking their distinctiveness. True, KZ1’s weapons were extremely realistic (especially because of the recoil) but I’m glad that they’re toning that down slightly; it’s important to emphasize gameplay over realism once in a while. Luckily they’re not pulling a Halo and having anti-recoil weapons galore.

The environmental destruction is definitely going to help a lot since it means that cover is temporary and that there’s a constant sense of danger. Hopefully the grenade guns (both ISA and Helghan) are eliminated. The pistols were really tight in the last game (just watching the reload animation was fun) so those better make their way into the sequel. The other big gameplay aspect that I’m curious about though is the lighting system. I know there’s a bunch of people that claim graphics and gameplay are unrelated, but I can think of a lot of instances where just lighting alone can affect how levels and enemies are approached/avoided. Hopefully they make full use of the physics system for puzzle solving; I know killzone has never had puzzle solving, but I’m thinking more on a Point A to Point B goal. Nothing complicated, like Ico or God of War.

Now this is a comment I'm talking about. No name calling, hate mongering or anything of a non-productive nature.

Well done.

It's too bad so many others haven't the capacity to do the same. I can't believe the stupidity of gamers. How can a medium that is rooted in so much technology and intelligence breed so many idiots is beyond me.

what else would you's expect.

compare what we saw to those graphics and intent, halo's features are corny and are not satisfying at all, what we saw was amzin and no one can say no to that, there were minor issues such as AI, gun handling, explosions, but this game will not be dub the halo killer as the 1st, because this it will come through

GROG READ EDITORAL.

GROG ENJOY, READ WHOLE THING THREE TIMES. LOTS OF BIG WORDS MAKE GROG HAVE TO USE DICTIONARY.

WRITER MAKE VALID POINTS. GROG THINK NOT PEOPLE READ ARTICLE. GROG THINK THEM VERY STUPID. WRITER IS SMART GUY AND MAKE GOOD ARGUMENT.

SAME ARGUMENTS COULD BE MADE FOR HALO KITTY 3.

Most of the lame-ass comments are coming from people that didn't bother to fully read the article. If you'd actually READ it, you'd see that there are some valid points to be made.

Still, Killzone 2 promises to be a lot more than it's predecessor. They've said in the past that the limitations of the PS2 hampered a lot of the progress they wanted to make in the first, so I think that the second could be noticeably different and in a good way, however, a lot of the positive talk seems to dwell on the visuals - I'm more concerned about the gameplay. Either way, it's a good read and I'm sure we'll see more as hands on impressions start really coming out.

And for the record, I'd trust a smaller site like this than some "paid-off" mo-fos like IGN or 1up. Seriously, those people don't give a rat's ass about gaming and it's clear every time I read one of their reviews... hell even EGM is going down the toilet fast... Lair got dumped on fiercely.

somebody said killzone 2 seems slow, thats because guerilla games is going for cg ingame, which only the ps3 can do, and also the game has 2 different graphics engines, this game will destroy

IGN thought that KZ2 gameplay was pretty good. So, WTF are they talking about.

Your average anti-Sony blog/site paid by microsoft,just like gamestop/kotaku and joysqti and many more out there.
nothing to see hre move along now.

Kevin what the hell are you talking about?

If the player is going slow then that is what the devs set it to in the actual engine depending upon physics and many other stuff. It does not show what the PS3 can or can't do. Also i'm not gonna take anytime saying that PC's will always be better than consoles in terms of power and graphics because you will always the PS3 rockzorz ur boxzers etc.

Anyways, can't wait for the game, the first game needed alot of work done to it to be any good, I just hope the gameplay is good. If the gameplay is good then it will be awesome.

plain and simple-whoever can watch this killzone gameplay and not get an adrenline rush isn't a gamer. the action looks intense and the combat is visceral and gory. i can't wait to play. this writers article seems very subjective. he basicly says in his opening paragraph that nobody else found fault in this game so he would. trying to "report" on all of the new features of a game based on a demo is rediculous. also, this isn't the finished product, it's only a taste of whats to come next feb.. my advice is to wait for the game to come out and FORM YOUR OWN OPINION at that time!

To actually go out and go crazy with the weaponry thats why the call it Killzone not borezone considering theres so much action going on at once that you would get killed persistently! so this guy that is complaining about the game sure theres alot of players hogging the rocket and the 203's and grenades and the battle gun and grenade launcher and the Rico Gun

but Killzone definitely had way more action than Halo 2 in Multiplayer and no I'm not flaming Halo 2 but in Halo 2 multiplayer you would have to find the action in Killzone the action finds you!.

Sony really does need another mainline shooter franchise. They pretty much gave up after the PS3 generation, and I'm really surprised they haven't tried at another high-profile, singleplayer-centric shooter; even if it weren't Killzone or Resistance.

I miss Killzone while I can see why they still do Horizon has some really good things but I do think that Horizon is overrated imo.

Or how about studios focus on projects that they feel passionate about, and not be forced to make something they have little interest in. It shows in the final product.

It’s still got potential for the modern era. The DNA is all there. The install base is there. The interest is there. The time is now.

Killzone 2 and 3 were farkin brilliant and way better than halo

Too bad they've abandoned em smh, then theres sony barely even acknowledging what us fans want. Every time they sale a certain high amount it get like that with them smh

Because Killzone games are awesome, that's the reason.

New ip after 3'rd horizon please 🙏

Give it to Bungie. The Helghast are awesome enemies and Bungie could make something really cool

not enough interest to keep it alive

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.

Killzone again pls 🥺

Gratz Guerilla, amazing Studio and engine, love Decima!

I was never a huge fan of Killzone, but thoroughly enjoy Horizon. Guerrilla are superb developer and easily up there with the best of the best.

Need a killzone 2 remake from the ground up.

One of the most creative studios out. I hope they keep it up.

Great studio, loved the Killzone series, I wish they would do a remake of the first three games. Horizon is a real step up and truly put Guerrilla Games on the map.

Too bad I never got a chance to play Shellshock: Nam’67 would have loved to try that game out back in the days to see what were their beginnings.

Bring back killzone (maybe in 3rd person perspective)

It would fantastic to see what they could do in Killzone after the lessons learned through Horizon.

Or heck, give us even a short linear FPS from the people who designed Cauldron THETA in the Burning Shores expansion. Even just flying into it (after gliding around and finding its opening amongst the lava and Sunwings perched around it, with other bigger machines just along the path toward it) was an incredible experience.

Great work until now. Keep on this path

Hope they get the opportunity to create a new IP this gen as well.

Forbidden West is awesome, It’s pretty damn big compared to Zero Dawn and it takes a little while to get your skills up and get the equipment you need to fully explore the game (not going to spoil it) but once you do those things and start fighting the big ass machines it really is amazing. Some cool side quests to where you hold the fate of peoples lives by your choice and the cauldrons look amazing. Lots of skills , combos, special moves and add ons for your weapons so you can approach fights many ways. Looking forward to the name game but I wonder how/if Silas will be a part of it or not ? Sad he’s gone.

Killzone games weren’t the best shooters but damn did they look purty!!!!

Killzone 2 remade with the multiplayer

20 years of mid-tier games and they are trending down.

I'm hyped for whenever Horizon 3 releases but Killzone 1 needs a remake BAD and 2 & 3 need remasters. Criminal those games are stuck on PS3.

Hold up

Horizon: Zero Dawn sold 24.3 million
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold 29.81 million

With the way journalists have been consistently saying BotW overshadowed Horizon you’d think the gap between an entry in a new IP and a longrunning one would be bigger Even if you want to include however much the Wii U version of BotW did, both series still did impressive numbers

I never want to hear that Horizon is an overlooked franchise ever again

i really loved the atmosphere and idea of killzone. i hope they revisit it at some point because it always had so much potential.

Bring Back Killzone please or at least a KZ2 remake with MP.
