The game is going to kick @ss. But I wish someone would sink 40 million and 135 developers into something new for once. Killzone 2 will drop jaws don't get me wrong, but there will be about 20 or 30 fps games out as well.

look at games like killzone,metal gear,gran turismo they show you what potential the PS3 has when devolpers are making a game from the ground up for the PS3 and these good lookin titles are only in the first year imagine what game's will look like in the next 5 years or so

OMG, im so excited. Cant wait.

I'm sure the graphics will no doubt match or even surpass the 05 trailer. Can't wait though.

Quote...."It doesn’t have any gimmicks - time travel, performance-enhancing drugs, or gravity guns. Its “novelty” is good looks, intensity, and how it single-handedly shames absolutely almost everything rival consoles had to offer. That said, it’s the second time a Killzone 2 trailer has ruined E3 - this time for making almost every other game look so terrifyingly ordinary. "

nuff said i think!!

This game can't come soon enough, but in a way im glad its coming March because there's so many FPS's this christmas hopefully it will be open to get the credit it's due for destructable enviroments, animation, lighting many of the other fantastic things this game does. Hopefully Sony will let other developers have acess to this engine on PS3 so all the games can look that damn good...

Can't wait for a new enviroment to be shown hopefully at GDC that's when they've said we'll see a newer build can't wait!

do you know how much Lost Planet costed? more then 30$M (!). So yeah, 40$M isn't that much for a AAA game....its only natural that they cost this much.

Honestly, I couldn't care less if it costs 1$M or 40$M to make, if its good I'll be happy :D

Looks good I'd maybe scoop a PS3 for this game. Anyone think the gun almost looks too realistic and makes the background look a little less realistic in comparison.

Just a thought.

The game does not look as good as the target render, why do people keep saying this; the Gears of war advert said actual in game footage but it was clearly soft focused, the Bioshock TV ad looks slightly better than the ingame footage also, so will people not be honest and accept that the killzone gameplay does not match the target render.

IMO Killzone looks a little like Gears of War, GOW has better textures, Killzone 2 has better pyhsics but no drastic differences.

All I am saying is that the playable demo does not look as good as the target render, if you do that's fine, note that I did not just use Killzone as an example I also used Gears of War and Bioshock, the Xbox-360 and the PS3 both have a good future if the games are anything to go buy, just because I say somthing you don't agree with does not mean I am starting an hardware argument.

I am simply giving my opinion.

this game is the most incredible looking game ever! And we all have to remember one thing, it isn't even done yet this game in the end is going to look even better. The only possible implication this game COULD have is gameplay, but do you hear anyone who's played the demo say it's bad-no(or at least not as far as I know). I mean a game that uses a whole 2 gigs for a level is bound to be incredible.

Not bad Guerrilla not bad at all

It surely does look good, but Bioshock beats this one easily what comes to atmosphere and mood and storyline. Anyhow, it's great that good games are coming, but there are so many FPS games out there atm. and coming up soon, that I have to pass Killzone 2. I will rent it or buy it from the sales basket someday, just because we all know killzone does not have a history of being a GREAT game. It looks great, but that is not enough.

Hopefully it gets great reviews. Then I am impressed.

You know that gameplay video on here a while ago? The one where you only see like 4 people? Well yeah, i want them to put more people there! The people look too good to just show two dudes!

Sony really want to FORCE this game to be PS3`s halo-killer and mascot, though guerilla deny that and states that they only want to make the best game they can make.

Not a good idea of sony to putt allot of pressure on a company without award winning games released yet. Considering that Killzone 2 ain`t competing against Halo`s 97/100 score, but Bioshocks 99`100

This game is going to be really good,I can feel it.;)

I think this game looks awsome, the same way everyone did about gears of war.

I'm not comparing, just saying. These are system sellers.

On the subject of ps3 and the 30fps thing.

I think by this time next year, most devs will know so much more about ps3, and you'll start seeing more and more 60fps 1080p.

sONY IS OUT FOR YOUR MONEY, WITH THIS GAME. This game is going to be incredible. We might see ps3 reach its peak level, very early on its life span. Sony is making sure that the game looks exactly like the pre render version.

sorry double post

Can't wait for Killzone 2. Great article. Too bad the author ruined it by it's sony fan boy comments at the end. Until Killzone 2 is up and running on my PS3 and I judge it to be mesmerizing, I'll still consider the PS3 a lite weight core gaming console not worthy of accolades. Looking forward to seeing SOCOM on PS3. Having both Killzone and SOCOM will make PS3 a kiss ass hard core gaming system.

But the "feel" and atmosphere seem to demonstrate it quite well in comparison to the video.

Good job. But ppl are going to bash it because it is the sequel to kz1.

It just seems like a totally different game, but based on the same time range.

I think Sony needs to help dev's like guerilla, naughty dawg, team ninja, and kojima and the crew get out, and show other dev's how to make good games like they have. Over time as they learn the ps3 structure it'll take smaller budgets and smaller teams to get good games out like this one. Sony just needs to get the proper techniques out to the dev's to make good games, like sigma, kz2, uncharted, and msg4.

This game is gonna be making Halo 3 its b!tch!

How can no one mention the cost for SE making FF XII ??
It was over $30mn ($35mn or 4bn yen). That must be the record for a released game?

"Watch it. In fact, watch Gundam: Target in Sight first, then Killzone 2. Are they really running on the same machine?"

and

"according to the developers; a single character model has the same amount of polygons as a level in the first Killzone."

Going to be a great game. Pick this up day one I will.

40 Mill...so what!...M$ payed that just for extra content in GTA4 and from the looks of this game (KZ2) it's worth every penny.

The imporatant thing here is Sony cares about putting out quality games for us gamers!

Quality pwns Quantity!

Go Sony...Woot! woot!

Why can't Sony fans be happy their getting a great game like Killzone 2.

Why Can't xbox fans not comment cause their not getting the game?

pull your finger out of your a$$ and thanks sony for making a blockbuster game for us to play next year....

Stop fuking complaining and thanks GG for they hard work...

1)the first killzone game was so bad
2)its not about graphics its about gameplay
3)sony spend too much money on this game lol
4)it will never be a halo killer (who care?)
5)stop being a gal n' be a man n' stop your fuking whining

For those of you wondering if Sony will share the Killzone2 secrets your answer is YES. Sony said (Phil Harrison) a little over a year ago that they would be combining all of thier studios into one giant studio. On top of that, Sony also said that they would share technology and tools with all 3rd parties who are interested and lend support.

A perfect example of this is the Insomniac tech PDF page, where anyone including you or me can DL it and see specific examples on how they are using the PS3 hardware.

Another example of Sony helping 3rd parties comes from Epic. They said Sony sent in some software engineers to help in the optimization of the UE3 for the PS3. The result? Mark Rein has said that the UE3 for the PS3 is running smoother in the same stage of development as it was on the 360.

So, DUH...Sony is not dumb. They know that developing from the ground up for the 3 is hard work. They will do everything they can to help developers really test the 3's muscle.

Killzone2 is in Pre-pre Alpha, not to metion it is only a second generation game. 1 can only imagine what gaming goodness awaits us in the coming years.

All you have 2 do is look at 1st generation PS2 games and look at the PS2's latest to get an idea.

Gods I cannot wait for this game, and I cannot wait to see what this fracking monster of a machine has instore for us.

The game does look great and the graphics are amazing, I'm just worrying about the gameplay, I know thet it will pretty much play out like every FPS out there, but I don't mind, if they get the gameplay nailed then I will keep on playing this game again and again. I also don't think this game is in pre pre alpha, I still think its in pre-beta stage.

mark my word this game will be the best fps game ever! i have high hopes for that game. it looks insane!!!

2008

WILL......BE......OURS!!!!!! :)

Nice to know Killzone is shaping up to be what we expected.. I wish this game gets 9 to 10's reviews... Guerrilla deserves it after so much criticizing they got from KZ1 and 2005 E3 trailer..

what i've seen so far i'll give it a 6

about this game from a reputable source. I can't wait to see more video, game play, hear about the story more, freaking anything. I will own this day one. I would love to hear more about the multiplayer aspect also.

I always knew I made the right choise. Thank you Sony for bringing me the best of the best in entertainment.

::sigh:: I think I am the only person in the whole world who owns a PS3 that was blown away by this? I can't put my finger on it, I watch it, it looks really great, but im not all giddy about it. I'm more excited about HS, Bioshock, COD4, Halo3, Ratchet and clank, Mass Effect, GT5 and MGS4. I honestly still think that MGS4 and Ratchet and Clank are more technically impressive as well. Don't hang me, only my opinion!

I liked it when he said "Sony transformed the perception of PS3 from an overpriced extravagance populated by me-too Xbox 360 ports, to the most exciting, important console in the world. It doesn’t have any gimmicks - time travel, performance-enhancing drugs, or gravity guns. Its “novelty” is good looks, intensity, and how it single-handedly shames absolutely almost everything rival consoles had to offer"

Stupid, they will never sell enough copies to make that money back!

KillzOWN 2 is so brutaly awesome, its sad that its going to make almost everyother game I own up until then seem lackluster and not truly next gen....

if Killzone 2 doesn't win any awards for technical achievements and excellence, then, well, then i'm just going to sit at my keyboard and pout, glaring at the monitor with the fury of a million suns.

anyway, Killzone is looking *FANTASTIC, even though it still has, at the *LEAST, 8 more months to go before it's launched.

8 months in game development time is *HUGE; i should know, i've worked in the gaming industry for years, and i've seen the difference 8 months can make.

the game hasn't even reached the *POLISHING phase yet!

the original Killzone was marred, *ONLY, by over-ambitious game design and a lack of knowledge of the PS2 hardware.

Killzone Liberation on the PSP, was them saying; "hey, we can make a good Killzone game, once we have a handle on the technology."

i guarantee that if Killzone 1 was re-made on the PS2 *NOW, it'd perform and look *MUCH better than it did when released back in, what, 2001/02?

now that Guerilla has some game design experience, and have spent *ALL of their development time studying and learning the PS3's architecture, i think the Killzone 2 game will actually be able to *MEET their original intentions for the game.

as for the 2005/E3 2007 comparisons, i think the E3 2007 trailer *DOESN'T look *EXACTLY like the CG trailer, but i think it comes 90% close.

*HOWEVER, i *DO think that the E3 2007 trailer *SURPASSES the CG trailer in terms of *CONTENT, *ATMOSPHERE, and *INTENSITY. so what if a few puffs of smoke are missing, when there is so *MUCH chaos going on all around you, and at once?

there's a part in the extended 2K7 trailer, where after the dropship lands and your character hops off, you can see one of his comrades pulling another, wounded comrade, out of the line of fire. scripted, to be sure, but the effect is still excellent.

the explosions going off all around you, the bullets whizzing everywhere, the fact that you can barely hear what your comrades are saying due to the din of battle; it's *VERY realistic and immersive, and that's just from the *TRAILER! imagine how it's going to be when you're in *CONTROL of that!

i think Bioshock and Killzone 2 are probably going to be two of the most immersive gaming experiences we're going to get in the next 8 months (not to say the other great games releasing in the next 8 months will be @ss, but that Bioshock and Killzone 2's developers have paid an *INSANE amount of attention to detail when making their games).

i never, not in a million years, thought gaming would be like this, back 22 years ago, when i was 6 years old, playing my cousin's NES in 1985. i'm *CONTINUALLY floored by the leaps and bounds the industry takes every generation (didn't Microsoft say, in 2005, when the 360 launched, that the graphical leap this generation wouldn't be as big? um, i think Gears, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Killzone, Ratchet, and MGS4 to name a few, have proven them wrong).

Congrats. I'm sure this game will kick total ass.

I'm not getting excited until I see more though.

It's funny though how PS3 owners try to trash 360 owners and say that it blows everthing out of the water...

All I'm saying is wait and see. It will most likely be a killer AAA, and a system seller that is so desperatley needed.

Too bad you guys can't have it this holiday season. Oh well, maybe next Xmas?

This is what irks me: PS3 owners want me to break down and say, "I hate my Xbox360 because this game isn't coming to it. F**k the 360. I'm actually crying right now because the PS3 makes me feel so small and insignificant. I'm selling my '3fixme' right now so I can have the amazing Killzone 2."

You kids really need to stop freaking out trying to find reasons to justify the price of your console.

Even if Killzone 2 is amazing, I doubt I'll buy a PS3. Maybe, MAYBE if the PS3's library is looking,....maybe....10000% better next year I'll think about dropping the cash. I just can't find a reason to put down my 360 controller.

I'm looking for some great games to justify a PS3 purchase and this is certainly one of them. I've got a 360 and gears was great, the bioshock demo is freaking awesome and I'm now spoiled on next gen graphics. I can't go back to my PS2 any more. Maybe I should take advantage of the 350 ps3 credit card deal now instead of waiting... games on the PS3 are starting to look really, really tasty.

if we could get a hands-on preview of the game next time, so we could hear how it played, because that`s what i want to know.

It already looks extremely good (not as good as the CGI from 2005, but still better than i expected) so i`m just interested in how stable the fps will be and how good the multiplayer is.

PS3 is a great system. It's nice to hear a good honest post for a change. When, or if you decide to get a PS3, I would be more than happy to kick your a$$ on line :P.

UPDATE: Oh yeah BTW, This game looks HOT yeah?!?

besides this will be the halo (ooohhh i mean) goldeneye killer, cant wait to see the faces of xbots crying in terror, LOL, just playing, but this will be the best FPS ever

I watch the E3 footage I get chills!! The part when camera is looking down the street and you see the troop transport fly off is just mind-blowing!!

I cannot wait to get my hands on it to see how it feels and how the whole game looks. So far so awesomely good!

Am I the only one who's tired of hearing journalists compare the game to the 2005 trailer? I never thought the 2005 E3 trailer was that impressive to begin with, and furthermore, I don't freaking care how good the cutscenes look, show me some freaking gameplay!

Secondly, this game is getting way too much attention simply by virtue of the system its on. Ultimately, I don't care whether the game is on 360 or PS3, as long as its a good game. As far as the gameplay goes, it doesn't look bad, but we haven't seen anything yet to warrant the amount of hype its getting.

where can i see the video!!!! plz post post POSTTTTTTTTT

Looks like this will be the best FPS of all time, its like nothing that has ever been played before.

Killzone is an outstanding achievement so far on the ps3. However, I must ask, if Microsoft were to shell out the same amount of money and man power on another game for the 360 can the same results be produced? It's not a comment I'm making, just a question as I'd like to hear EDUCATED or well informed comments being made. I know a problem for the 360 might be disc space for a game so robust. But I'd like to hear ppl's thoughts...

The game or the demo? Anyway this games looks 2 years past its prime.

Oh yeah as for the Sony fanboys who say Bioshock is just another fps...... I'll say Killzone is just another fps.

From Gamesradar.

This must be a sony fanboy site or the most bias pos i ever heard.

Calling Half=Life and Bioshock gimicky? This nigga done up and lost his mind.

that was stupid, bioshock looks great, and so does KZ2, come on

But KZ2 will be the best, it has that gray palette that any hardcore gamer loves, off the chart graphics, nice AI, dont go and lose yo mind my nigga

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.
