How can Killzone 2 possibly live up to the hype? What magic beans is developer Guerrilla throwing into the pot to ensure that it meets the vertiginous expectations of gamers? Well, according to Guerrilla producer Steven Ter Heide it's "the sheer intensity, level of detail and visual quality that we feel will set Killzone 2 apart." Certainly the level that Games Radar has seen in action doesn't just tick all of those boxes, it blows bloody great holes in them.

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
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.
Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
I wish the hype around this game would die...Too much dissecting of a game that still isn't done yet...Too much speculation...They should leave something left to be hoped for..I know too much about this game already before I've even played it...
i think that pretty much sums up my excitment for this! i cant wait for all the crap AI shouts to come from the xbox fans, who cares, when this comes out everyone is gonna see what the ps3 is capable of within 2 years of release, i dreed to think what killzone 3 will be....
ive said it before and ill say it again, ill let any member of GG sh1t on my chest if i can get a go on this now!!!
edit @ lVlemphizStylez, maybe your right but the truth is the truth.
Killzone 2 has the best AI of any fps game we've seen this generation. It's too bad Bungie can't delay Halo 3 to fix the really bad AI the game has and bring it up to the same level GG has with KZ2.
I honestly don't think this game, from what we have seen so far and considering its in it's early stage, deserves anything but praise.
Whats really funny to see is that the haters don't even try to say the graphics aren't that good...they seem satisfied with trying to convince ppl that Crysis looks better.
I think the fact that Killzone 2 is put up side by side with Crysis shows how good it looks ;)
It has the graphics, it has the sound, the gameplay is (apparently, at least from what I've read till now)as solid as it needs to be (FPS cover system well implemented), and the multiplayer will be a big part of the game...FPS heaven anyone? :D
