Graphics Duel: Halo: Reach vs. Killzone 2

Gamereactor has taken Microsoft's current title and pitted it against the over one and a half years old Killzone 2 in a graphics duel. The result? Look for yourself and decide.

especially with screenshot.

i personally like Halo Reach's game play better,

but in terms of graphics, Killzone 2 beats Halo Reach hands down.

WhatARump5738d ago

The article itself says "Killzone 3" but the title here says Killzone 2?

Anyways they both look like great games :)

iamnsuperman5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

@whatARump true I almost reported it for bad editing until I noticed the pictures says Killzone 2

Anton Chigurh5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

The funny thing is that nobody is talking about the gameplay and that's where HALO reach truly shines.

8-bit5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

The article pic is one that I designed and some one used it and changed it. Mine says KZ3 and they changed it to 2. Here is the original. I did it in february. http://www.flickr.com/photo...

@below, Thanks. I know my way around photoshop :)

MisterNiwa5738d ago

This is one fine fanart.

WhittO5738d ago

It should be Halo Reach V Killzone 3, not Killzone 2.

and to be fair it should be finished code for both games, not pre-alpha for K3 etc.

Windex5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

if u look at the screen shot, how can you dispute that KZ2 doesnt look better???

@Whitto

the pictures are from Killzone 2. if you played the game, you may recognize few places. And btw, picture says its Killzone 2.

in the article, it refers to KIllzone 2.
" We have taken the opportunity to pit Microsoft's current title against the over one and a half years old Killzone 2 graphics in a duel. The result? Look at yourself and decide" google tranlation

yea KZ2 look THAT good

@8-Bit

Lol did u photoshop and made that into 3??? Lolol. get a life fanboy

@Raztad
we still have not seen Rage on console..

E3 they showed PC hooked with Xbox controller.
they said the settings are "similar" to xbox though....

but i will believe it when i see it.

raztad5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

People should refrain from talking about fun in a article comparing screenshots of games. It is utterly pointless. First of all fun is totally subjective, and second it is just offtopic.

The KZ shots in the article are from a KZ2 beta code. I find this article unnecessary. I dont think anyone was touting Halo:R against KZ2. Let's wait for the big players (Crysis 2, RAGE) to start making comparisons.

cayal5738d ago

"The funny thing is that nobody is talking about the gameplay and that's where HALO reach truly shines"

Yeah because Halo's point and shoot is so much better then killzone's point and shoot right?

PSFan1005738d ago

People saying halo has better gameplay or is funner, that's your opinion just like my opinion is that killzone has better gameplay and is funner. There is no dispute over which game has better graphics (killzone).

BulletToothtony5738d ago

gamereactor's flaimbait yet again.. sad sad sad.. do some journalism.. i say it in every one of your articles and nothing.. lame excuse of a site

"Lol did u photoshop and made that into 3??? Lolol. get a life fanboy"

8-BIT clearly uploaded it in february so yeah..

Nihilism5738d ago

The version of Rage shown at E3 was the 360 build on PC with a 360 controller.

ChineseDemocracy5738d ago

2 completely different games, 2 completely different types of gameplay. I still think it's pretty unreasonable to compare the two, they're totally different.

jeseth5738d ago

Why do we still do this?

Halo is awesome and fun as hell.

Killzone is awesome and fun as hell.

Period.

bakasora5738d ago

This is no brainer, reach isn't "Outstanding" in the graphics department, its just better than the previous Halo.

Socrates5738d ago

Each game has quite a distict graphical approach. I own both games and I can honestly say that they both look equally good.

All the fanboys saying Killzone 2 destroys Halo Reach are just silly, delusional fanboys. Even if you haven't played both games you can tell by the screenshots that the two games are essentially on par with one another.

plenty a tool5738d ago

compete with killzones in the graphics department??

gameplay is another matter though

jebabcock5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

Halo can really be compared to star wars as far as cult followings go...

Halo 1 and maybe 2 could be considered great things that pushed the gameplay bar... neither ever really pushed any bar graphically though... halo 3 was extremely subpar... ODST was supposed to be just an addon, then MS decided to slap it on a disk and treated it like it was a full game, charged full price, and people still came in droves of millions to drink the koolaid..

Its just like the starwars movies.. Even though the last 3 were progressively more and more terrible, millions of cult followers still praised it and went and saw the movies numerous times..

As im not a huge halo fanboy(i do like the series) i probably won't rush out and get the game i will eventually borrow it from my bro-in-law who is( and has even read alot of the books..)

But thats the point, this game just has to be good enough to not tick off the cult following and any game with halo in the name will sell millions and be touted as the best thing since sliced bread...

If people tried to argue that odst looked better than kz2, do you really think that people wont argue the same thing with reach?? Thats why this is flamebait and why the first comment on here is correct... I honestly didn't really look closely at the comparisons and I don't care, never really played kz2, (language is really bad and I got small kids around normally)..

but the safe prediction here is that kz2 fans will say kz2 is way better and halo fans will say halo looks way better, just like ALMOST EVERY single comparison between such games...

My thought, let the people who enjoy halo enjoy halo, let the people who enjoy kz2 enjoy it, what does it matter how they compare? especially when halo has never been about graphics to begin with(or at least I hope it hasn't =P)... its really the only way everyone can win.

SilentNegotiator5738d ago

Wow, Reach sure has a lot of motion blur.

How about some shots that aren't in motion? About 3/4 of those Killzone 2 shots are stationary, and basically all of the Reach pics are in motion so that the blur hides the lower res and lack of anti-aliasing.

BrianG5738d ago

I just looked at the pics, and if you played KZ2, you'll know that if your not running you still hold the gun up. So to assume that the pics aren't in motion, especially when there is motion blur in a few of them, is just wrong.

I played halo before, but I could easily argue that Halo shots were not in motion.

Microsoft Xbox 3605738d ago

It's really a landslide victory for K3. Heck, even K2 is leagues above Halo Reach.

heroprotagonist5738d ago

"Heck, even K2 is leagues above Halo Reach"

No it isn't. They both look good in their own ways. KZ2 isn't in any way leagues above Halo Reach. That's loony talk.

NewShadow1015737d ago

killzone 2 has motion blur too, and probably for the same reason. i beat killzone 2, xxmr.echoxx is the gamer tag if u dont believe me. but killzone 2 has horrible textures, but amazing lighting. the lighting is why it looks so good.

At the end of the day I'm still playing KZ2 online with the new maps. Halo is pretty much like Resistance 1&2 gameplay. Those two are damn near the same gameplay wise.

geez. the article is graphics comparison. not gameplay comparison.

This is the most brilliant idea to get site hits ever. Why don't I think of these things?

Raw Truth

When reviewer's give Halo games 10's for graphics you know something is seriously crooked with the review system.

hennessey865738d ago

Reach is better looking and know ill get dissagrees but fuck it. I prefer halos art style and also the way it plays. Im not trolling killzone 2 because i love that game.

strickers5738d ago

You like games that look like a fast ford fan in Essex designed the graphics.Good for you.
The fact is whatever YOU prefer,tech cannot be argued.KZ is well beyond Halo for graphics tech.

Killzone 2 just made Reach look like a Xbox 1 game

vhero5738d ago

Killzone is 2 years old for start and Halo Reach isn't even true 720p so unfair comparison. But somebody needs to I guess to get it off there chest be they a Sony or 360 fanboy.. Terrible times we live in.. The only thing is Halo reach should blow Killzone 2 away considering MS say the 360 just as powerful as PS3 and it came out near 2 years later (1 1/2 to be exact Feb 2009). Yet it doesn't not even bungie with MS help could do it.. The only thing this article proves is the 360 is maxed out.

avengers19785738d ago

The sad thing is they are comparing it to Killzone 2 and Not Killzone 3. KZ3 blows it away.

robep35738d ago

Yes Bungie have done a good job but KZ3 looks better pre alpha! also Spydr07
re your vette have a look for the TOP GEAR review of it done a couple of years ago when JC pushes the rear end of the car and it bends in LOL most European cars handle fairly well VERY few yank tanks do but the yank tanks all have the same problem CHEAP PLASTIC interiors and POOR SORRY VERY POOR build quality and thats a fact!!

EvilBlackCat5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

ALL of you saying that Killzone 2 or even 3 on gameplay is better than Halo: Reach are full of bullshit. I played KZ2 multiplyer and NO fucking way is better than HALO REACH

CUT THE CRAP and pick a control stop whining, stop defending KZ2 like a freaking desperate fanatic and play Halo: Reach.

Halo Reach right now have become one of the most competitive FPS arena right now where teamwork is the essence of the multiplayer more than ever in Halo. This time you need the guy running next to you. PLAY the multiplayer and you will find that those teams that lose is because everybody its on their own agenda.

YOU can take a wide picture of a battle in Halo Reach multiplayer and post it on a wall and look like a damn work of art.

snoopgg5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

Stop preaching Halo, cause not everyone likes that cup of tea. I prefer badcompany 2 to anything on the consoles right now. I never have been a halo fan, and will have to rent Reach to see if I like it, but I'm pretty sure I won't if it like any of the other Halo games. I liked Killzone 2's gameplay over Halo 3, so I probally won't like Reach. I must add that I am hyped about the new SoCom coming out.

gameraxis5738d ago

i go on threads and try to act the best i can as a fair "independent critic" if i may self title myself. i had a 360 on day one lasted until about 8 months after the ps3 came out and i've only been playing my ps3 since, of course I've loved halo from the first xbox and I've borrowed my buddies working 360 to play gears and halo iterations on their appropriate release dates for a week or so until i beat them and have a good taste of the mp... that said... gam3g0d has been dormant for far too long and i bought the reach bundle and although there is so much cool stuff the 360 does, it is SLIGHTLY, well i don't even want to say outdated until rage comes out and multiplat marvels in terms of graphics, so scratch that. Basically, I'm here to say although I've only had a ps3 and believe its stronger bla bla bla, halo has that magic... and i thought reach was the best halo experience I've ever had/ am having... i did miss MC a little, but they really made u care for each of ur noble 6 and i'm playing it on every diff. and going crazy with mp... i just woke up believe it or not so i'm rambling, but if i may digress... the
"kinnect ready" as they call it, basically the 360 slim is SOOO damn sexy, and i just wish the slim was the 720 with reach as a launch title, i feel that way because of the exterior look it should have 1 gig RAM, the newest custom ati chip, bluray or a custom 20 gb storage disc that ms makes, etc, etc. i have it lying next to my fat ps3 and it just out sexy's it ( out sexy's it?)i just hate that its late in the 360's life and whether its showing its age or not, i basically wish the 360 slim was the 720 and it was more powerful than the ps3, all that just by looking at it thinking is this going to become obsolete soon when the next gen starts? also i feel i now need the ps3 slim just so i have two sexy matt black consoles (even tho the 360 slim still looks cooler, it keeps reminding me of alien ware lol) ps3 slim is by no means ugly tho imo. ok, so its the first time they let me recover my name with out a 6 year old credit card info that i didn't have any more, and I NEED LIVE FRIENDS, u can check out my profile so see what kind of gamer i am etc, but if u like to win, but arn't immature about it, gam3g0d is the name (thats a zero in "g0d") if u got this far i applaud u, play beyond and jump in!

dragunrising5738d ago

Nice read. I also wish the 720 was out and Halo Reach was a launch title. Oh well...guess we have to wait another 2 years. As long as there are good games I suppose its bareable.

Added you as a friend on Xbox Live. My gamertag is: dragunrising

I've been playing a lot of Halo Reach lately (:-p). Hope to see you online!

Solid_Snakeps35738d ago

it amazes me that a 2 year old game still outdoes halo

mastiffchild5737d ago

Pointless debate is pointless. Flamebait article is flamebait. Seriously, and as someone who bought every game in both series(bar Reach but I'll no doubt pick it up one day)I feel I can say this without bias, they shouldn't ever have been compared. Halo was never, esp this generation, trying to be a graphically real game, never needed nor wanted to be the GTF king and it'#s style isn't very suited to showing it off anyway. Halo is about Halo-it's accessible, it's gameplay stands the test of time and it plays to it's own crowd while adding features rather than a higher resolution. Looks are simply more what Killzone is about than they are to Halo.

By the same yardstick the comparisons do Killzone no favours either. It was never meant to be like Halo and the "Halo Killer" stuff was almost entirely a media invention. Killzopne1 was just a very over ambitious PS2 game that never quite came off and GG agree still getting over that today. KZ2 looked amazing for a console game-that's where one of it's big strengths are among others, but Halo's are very different and Bungie are more secure with their fanbase so just concentrate on building up the feature set and honing the classic gameplay. Two different series with not many shared areas. Halo never aimed to be the best looking console game but you get the feeling that GG really wanted to after they couldn't make the game they would have liked to on the PS2. We will see if they continued the great strides taken in KZ2 with the next game. Both series are great now, imho, and I don't get why they must be compared all the time when even someone who likes them both can see the3y're very different animals.

prunchess5737d ago

Here in Europe they are not running one advert showing any of Halo's in game graphics. In fact there is text at the bottom of each advert shown on TV saying that what is shown is NOT actual game footage.

As opposed to the KZ2 adverts when they were ran.

That speaks volumes in itself...

gunnerforlife5738d ago

there's no competition there thought! so might as well pit it against a year old game.

StanLee5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

When you can play Killzone 2 or Killzone 3, 4 players splitscreen, online with no compromises to graphically fidelity, call me. Fact is, Halo Reach has one of the most impressive and sophisticated engines you'll ever see. Bungie did a great job.

@ 8-bit

You're missing the point. Killzone 2 looks good because there is nothing really going on under the hood. As a matter of fact, that's how most PS3 exclusive games are. It's funny that Europe is the PS3's biggest market when the console is more like an American muscle car; It'll beat you in a straight line with raw power but it's not nimble in the corners like most European sports cars that are less powerful. You ask it to do anything more and it struggles. You can't do anything really sophisticated with the engines because there is no memory.

8-bit5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

No one said they didn't. The simple fact is Killzone 2 looks better than REACH and it is about 2 years old by now. Halo has always been about the variety of gamepaly and not graphics. Killzone is about graphics.

This screen shot says it all http://www.gamereactor.de/m...

Why o why5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

yeah stan so what your deflecting to is that 4 player slit screen beats better graphics in a graphics comparison....kool man ¬_¬

and the under the hood crap you're talking about is laughable....listen to yourself. If these articles make you make such silly comments stay away man.

'You ask it to do anything more and it struggles. You can't do anything really sophisticated with the engines because there is no memory. '...*looks at the usual suspects* the ones stan seems to overlook: Uncharteds, god of war killzones GT and ill compare it to what exactly......what are you on about stany boy.

What 360 'european like' sophisticated engines beat any of the counterparts of the games ive mentioned

forza vs gt5p maybe......

halo r vs killzone....

god of war vs ....ninjablade/ninja gaiden

uncharted vs gears

what engines on the 360 are more sophisticated stan....maybe you need some more memory. Not saying the ps3 is perfect by any stretch of the imagination but c'mon man...give credit where its due and keep it moving

kneon5738d ago

Nothing under the hood? really? have you even played KZ2?

Besides the graphics there is also the awesome physics, particle effects, sound and AI. The main reason I don't like Halo has nothing to do with the way it looks, it's how it feels. It feels like I'm playing a Saturday morning cartoon. Everything just feels so unrealistic, in KZ2 everything feels just about perfect and that makes it much more engaging. The other thing I don't like about Halo online is that it feels so empty, there is usually very little going on. Maybe Reach has improved things, but previous versions really needed more players or smaller maps.

StanLatMarveldotCom5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

Look at the games you just listed; they don't do anything sophisticated. There's no co-op, no splitscreen, no user created content using the engine, they're linear. I hope GT5 returns splitscreen and has truly dynamic environments. Fanboys blame "lazy" or "ignorant" developers when multiplatform games aren't up to par with PS3 exclusive but PS3 exclusives don't do anything. They take a V8, 507 horse power and drive in a straight line. And as for Gears of War versus Uncharted comparisons, again, when you can play Uncharted in splitscreen, online, with no compromises to its fidelity, call me.

Spydr075738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

LBP and 3D say, "Hello!" How is 3D coming along on the 360, by the way?

Regarding American muscle cars, the Corvette says, "Hello!", too. I believe it owns MotorTrend's test track record, Raping Porshe 911 GT Turbos, tuners of all kinds, and many more. Hate all you want, but the power to weight ratio on a Vette is sick, as is the car. You will have a tough time finding a better stock car for the price.

Which is a great segue into my next point...Stock for stock, PS3 kills the 360, much like a Vette does. This is the exact reason MS dumps millions and millions of dollars into getting 3rd party support. We all remember the GTA IV crap, right? All that money MS dumps to, basically, stay even with the PS3. Much like you'd have to do to compete with a Vette. :P Yup, your analogy rocks!

I hate talking like a fanboy...

But whatever, you're nothing more than a pathetic troll.

Edit:
Doesn't Unreal Tournament 3 have all the features you mentioned (co op, split, user created content)? Just sayin', is all...

Go back and work on your tr0lling some more. Leave the real talks to the grown folks. You fail as a troll. P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.

StanLatMarveldotCom5738d ago

Take a corvette to the Austrian alps or any of the great driving roads in Switzerland or France and watch it get raped by the same 911. MotorTrend knows a much about cars as MTV knows about good music. Top Gear says hello!

iPad5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

Reach's engine is the most impressive and sophisticated engine we'll ever see?

Are you serious?

Might as well say Halo 3 was the most beautiful game back in 2007 (and completely ignore Uncharted: Drake's Fortune).

Anderson85738d ago

Reach is a good game but its engine is outdated.. you need a better engine to produce better graphics, physics lighting etc so your 'nothing under the hood argument' is ridiculous, and there's nothing demanding or sophisticated about 'split screen'... I just got done playing uncharted 2 on-line co-op with no compromises and kz2 has 32 player on-line without any as well... so what the hell are you on about?

Here's a comprehensive list of the track's lap records (note the cost of every car that did better than the Vette):

Again, you fail and you're still a pathetic troll.

I see you still have no comeback to anything else I said. Like, where's your answer for UT3? Hate on the game's score, but it can do everything you mentioned and still manages to look good. :D

You won't reply because your whole argument and analogy just backfired. Oh. No!

Why o why5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

your are infected with the greenberg bug. I asked you to tell me about the games i mentioned...You show me halo reach, halo reach and halo reach....Doesnt that prove a point stany boy...surely you can do better than one game and please dont bring user generated content to any conversation here. The 360's been out longer and has less games that actually have it.

'I hope GT5 returns splitscreen and has truly dynamic environments' like forza right....I mean night driving and online with forza munching graphics and local 2 player aint enough for you.... i suppose forza'a paint job makes it technically more sophisticated doesnt it...lol i dub thee laughable stan.

I understand the new account......i also hate when i cant reply in debates so ill hold no grudge but you should really stop the nonsense you're spouting. We all know what console is the more sophisticated with the most sophisticated games including those in de ni el like.......you know...you

boodybandit5738d ago

finbars755738d ago

StanLee are you shitting me.I just got through playing 4 hours of halo reach and Im sorry that game is very empty.All I saw through the hours I played was space with moons and nothing else.Dony tell me theres more going on thats a joke.They both have the same amount os shit going on.Killzone looks so much better.Halo should be compared top Gears of anything.They have the same old mountains trees ect.But nothing stands out at all with Reach.I guess it says alot considering that there comparing Reach to a game thats 2 years old.Must suck to be you and the rest of the dillusional people in here.

StanLatMarveldotCom5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

There is a huge problem with what you just said; graphics doesn't make a game fun. Killzone 2 came out in February and by April no one was playing the game online. You had to change your search to worldwide to find a game. The game wasn't social, it couldn't build a community, regardless of how good it looked. You don't need better graphics to make a better game. What makes Halo great is how social a game it is, how the community is able to interact and share. People think an engine is about what you see on the screen but it's not. Finbars75 said all he saw was moons, but what he didn't see was four buddies on the sofa of a basement rec room playing Halo Reach on a 120" HD projector screen in Legandary for 6 hours then going online to play Firefight and Team Slayer for another 6 hours. The game looks great with 4 players, playing on the SAME screen! That's why Halo Reach is fucking great!!!!! Fanboys wont get that.

The Nürburgring lap record is held by a Radical SR8 LM. This is a specialty racing car from Great Britain. The verified (not unverified manufacturer claim) but verified lap record by a standard line production car is held by the Dodge Viper ACR. Confirmed by MotorTrend. The Viper clocked in at 7:22.1.

oilahize5738d ago

Look I get what you are saying about the experience of Halo. It's great. If that was your argument, then many could agree with you. The topic is the graphics. Killzone wins is that so hard to see. Also, the things you said make Halo better, have nothing to do with a more "sophisticated engine". It's about the developers choice as to what they and the fans want in the game. Design choices. That doesn't change the fact that games like Uncharted 2, God of War III, Littlebigplanet, and Gran Turismo 5 most definitely have more going on "under the hood".

Socrates5738d ago

LittleBigPlanet? Give me a break. That game is relatively simplistic. There are MANY multiplatform games that are doing more in terms of graphics than LBP. You PS3 fanboys are so ignorant it's not even worth trying to talk with you.

Halo Reach does some things better and Killzone 2 does some things better. I honestly don't know how anybody can seriously act like Killzone 2 blows Halo Reach away on a technical level. It doesn't.

Halo Reach has better textures and much more open and expansive environments. Killzone 2 on the other hand has better real-time light and shadows and probably somewhat better particle effects. Halo Reach does have really nice HDR lighting though. All in all when I fire up either game I really enjoy the graphics to an equal degree. They just have a very different art direction and graphical approach.

oilahize5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

I wasn't talkin about the Littlebigplanet graphics. I was talkin about Stanlee and his argument that PS3 games have unsophisticated engines. Also...fanboy? How am I a fanboy? Obviously if I'm defending those engines I wouldn't mention a game on another system. If he is saying ps3 games engines don't do anything "sophisticated" how would it make sense to counter by saying 360 game A or Wii game B? So yeah, LBP isn't a graphics monster by any means.

Killzone 2 doesn't blow Halo Reach away on a technical level. It does graphically though. Yes that does make sense. Think MAG...technically impressive but shitty too look at.

EDIT: I just realized I suck at explaining what I am trying to say...*walks away* LMAO

gaffyh5738d ago

@2.2.13 - You've obviously not even played Killzone 2 lately, because I just popped the game in yesterday night and had no trouble finding a game whatsoever. In fact, I played online for about 4 hours straight and had no issues at all.

@StanLee - I wonder what you'll say if Killzone 3 has all those things? You really are blind, fact of the matter is, Killzone 2 looks better than Halo Reach. That's it, get over it. The fact that you cannot accept that shows how much of a fanboy you are. And I've just come from playing a couple of hours on Halo Reach, got to a bit where there are two hunters, and I have to defend Jun who is doing something to a weird probe thing. Anyway, I died, so I stopped playing. The gameplay is great though, which is what you should be touting, not the graphics because they have and always will be sub-par until Bungie gets some better graphical talent.

In fact, I can 99% guarantee that Gearbox's Halo will look better than Bungie's next game. Gameplay-wise, probably won't be as good.

and stan...
killzone is still played...and i'm searching europe only

vhero5738d ago

Not really since KZ2 matches it and beats it in some places.. Mainly due to KZ2 being in true HD and being on a console that obviously isn't maxed out yet.

knightdarkbox5738d ago

i’ll ignore your clear bias against halo and your obvious love for a terrible game that no one ever played in killzone 2 ( zero online players) and just point out that a 4rd generation game is going to look better than a 2nd generation game.

gaffyh5738d ago

What's a 4rd generation game? Fourd?

LOL.

not best of comparison oh and flamebait

Xwow20085738d ago

KZ2 still technically better than reach,but the art in reach is great.

outrageous5738d ago (Edited 5738d ago )

Halo Reach Vs KZ2 or KZ3 is fair since they are all part of the current generation. Having said that, I've played both games as I own both systems and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I'd say KZ gets an edge since the atmospheric effects on KZ is a stand out feature. Doesn't matter, play both and it's win/win

There have been many great looking games this gen and nobody ever talks about them. Resident evil 5 looked incredible. The COD franchise looks awesome and runs at 60 fps. Gears Of War of course started it all. Capcom has had some awesome games engine. Bioshock looked great as did/does Mass Effect. MGS4 gets ignored even tho it looked fantastic.

2011 will have a new benchmark...who will it be?...that's what we should be discussing...Rage, MGS Rising, Crysis, KZ3, and Gears 3 will do battle in 2011...bring it on.

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

OtterX590d ago (Edited 590d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne589d ago (Edited 589d 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-ro590d ago

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

just_looken589d 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

MDTunkown590d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72590d 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_looken589d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya589d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast590d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood589d 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-ro818d ago

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

darthv72818d 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_818d ago

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

Cacabunga818d ago

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

Profchaos818d ago (Edited 818d 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

seanpitt23818d 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!

Iceball2000819d ago

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

Father__Merrin819d ago

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

InUrFoxHole819d ago

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

Marcus Fenix819d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989818d ago

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

1Victor819d ago (Edited 819d 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 😱

Michiel1989818d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
