Killzone 2 Preview

The original Killzone (PS2) was largely criticized for having several blatant flaws, such as serious AI issues among other glaring technical glitches. Hell, the entire game was smacked for its slightly repetitive gameplay. On the other hand, the game's unique storyline, noteworthy design and decent online experience helped improve the situation.

Due to its advantages, the franchise managed to garner a solid fan base, which is why the game's approaching full-on sequel also generated much attention during the E3 2007. Killzone 2 is, at present, a PS3 exclusive and is scheduled to ship some time during 2008.

Do you guys think they'll ever match that cgi trailer not just in graphics but in gameplay?

achira6758d ago

even when they do reach 50% this game will be better then all the rest. i am sure this game will be awesome.

PlayStation3606758d ago (Edited 6758d ago )

that (original trailer) gameplay was fluid. However, many thought the graphics would never get near to the original. And the way it looks now, with many months left, it could get there. So as for gameplay, no one , absolutely no one, can be sure. We just might be pleasantly surprised. Only time will tell bro.

Bazookajoe_836758d ago

I would like to have a new trailer in november maybe and see how far they have come. I dont know how much were compromised to get it ready at e3. But i do think that this will be an amazeing game, i like they way that the helghast drops to their hands and knees before they die=) And that they are bleeding and destructible enviroment, hehe i could go on forever ;-)

urban bohemian6758d ago

Remember the CGI trailer for motorstorm? Everyone was amazed and then the game turned out to be not *too* far off?!

PlayStation3606758d ago

My absolute favorite moment was when one of the helghast was falling forward (after being shot), and at that same moment the player continued shooting his face. :))

Violater6757d ago

Since technically it was CGI and not game play :)

nobizlikesnowbiz6757d ago

i dont think its possible for any game this gen to live up to the cgi footage shown at e3 05.

it was all too fluid, too human. the actions and reactions i dont think can be done using the this gen´s interfaces. (controller)

i mean, so many parts of that footage were obviously tailored to look awesome.

the graphics might live up to the footage, but i doubt it. not saying i dont want the graphics to be killer. id buy a ps3 then.

it would be freaking awesome if the gameplay shown in that footage could somehow be done in actual gameplay. but i just dont see how it could be done.

lol until you put on a helmet, and immerse yourself in a fully virtual world, where your hand actions and such are replicated. lolol.

so no. i dont think it can possibly live up to the gameplay shown. although it would rock all our socks off, as gamers.

this is an outrage (for mass effect) some people will know what I'm talking about :(
......anyways...
carry on!

Marty83706758d ago

I think it will be very close to the trailer.

urban bohemian6758d ago

If I was playing that original E3 trailer my head would probably explode the amount of action in two minutes was the equivilant to half an hour in a normal fps game! I still like watching that original CGI one, even if it wasn't in game its still a pretty damn cool video! They should put it on the psn anyways. Although I think the guys who made call of duty 2 got busted for putting a cgi trailer on tv as people miss took it for gameplay!

f*ck tears of war, steroids anybody hahahahahahaha

Swallow, that jizz tastes good!!! oh yer...

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

OtterX470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne470d ago (Edited 470d 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-ro470d ago

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

just_looken470d 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

MDTunkown470d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72470d 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_looken470d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya470d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast470d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood470d 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.

OtterX700d ago (Edited 700d 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-ro699d ago

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

darthv72699d 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_699d ago

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

Cacabunga699d ago

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

Profchaos699d ago (Edited 699d 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

seanpitt23699d 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!

Iceball2000700d ago

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

Father__Merrin700d ago

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

InUrFoxHole700d ago

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

Marcus Fenix700d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989699d ago

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

1Victor700d ago (Edited 700d 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 😱

Michiel1989699d 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.

1Victor1004d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1004d ago

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

jznrpg1003d ago

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

badz1491003d 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!

Vengeance11381004d 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 Kim1004d ago

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

VersusDMC1004d 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?

Vengeance11381004d ago

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

solideagle1004d 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.

Phoenix761003d 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

REDGUM1003d ago

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

thesoftware7301004d ago (Edited 1004d 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.

blacktiger1003d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1004d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1003d ago

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

Imalwaysright1003d ago

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