This site is dying for Hits. Let me click it.......SIKE.

Does this guy mean "flop" as in quality or just sales?

I don't think he realizes that Halo hasn't been the standard for anything since Halo 2.

-Alpha5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

He means quality of the game and how they failed to reach the hype that media/fans/internet set

sleepy35567d ago

I think NOTHING compares to forge whch came in AFTER Halo 2 and still to this day is the definitive FPS level editor on consoles. Throw in the theater mode in halo 3 which is almost a standard feature in FPS games now and you have still yet to mention the INSANE amount of options the game allows so you can actually amke any game type with any scoring system using any crazy ideas you have and i would say its pretty obvious that a lot of games have a long way to go. Forge world alone i can't see being topped anytime this gen by BF, KKZ, COD or ANY other FPS. Its sick.

MaxXAttaxX5566d ago (Edited 5566d ago )

I think that's subjective.

Each person has their own standards. I don't know about the media, but I don't really rely on it or used it as a guide to tell me just how much I should be hyped for certain games.
Some games may exceeds some peoples' expectations, while other may be just fine or underwhelm.

-Alpha5567d ago

He never said anything about Killzone 2, he was talking about the first game.

i think as much as people hate to see Killzone franchise, it's become one of the influential franchises that sets the standard.

WOW so why the hell did you use a killzone 2 picture???

Olvipoika5567d ago

halo is overhyped average fps 4kids...... nothing else ....

labaronx5567d ago

how when people talk about modern warfare being the only game to topple halo's xbox live dominance..... what about gears 2, when the multiplayer was finally fixed it was sitting comfortably as the top game of xbox live, and it isn't released as frequent as the other 2 have been

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation409d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear21409d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon409d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga408d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage408d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing409d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga414d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM414d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box414d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia414d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac412d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE414d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM414d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB414d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion414d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps414d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai509d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga509d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid509d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness508d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt508d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

TheEroica508d ago (Edited 508d ago )

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider508d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH507d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn509d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion509d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
