Being the resourceful ones at the art of war, the Helghast created Sentry Bots to help out in some of the dirty work during their attack on the planet Vekta. While these machines had a role to play in the invasion, they were an overall failure in the war effort. The Helghast seemed to have scrapped them as they were absent from the Liberation portion of the series.
It would seem that the Helghast didn't completely give up on these bots. They have been remodeled and renamed for Killzone 2 as seen in the Killzone 2 E3 05 trailer, as well as the realtime Killzone 2 demo. Currently dubbed the A.T.A.C.(automated attack craft?), these bots have been revamped(see image below) to be faster and deadlier. The ISA have some rough times ahead.
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
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.
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.
considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support
Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.
Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.
Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer
Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.
Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.
Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.
I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.
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.
They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.
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.
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.
It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...
Arrowhead is now giving away its second load of crossover cosmetics for free.
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.
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!
@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.
Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂
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.
Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.
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.
Killzone 2 better be good, it'll be such a disappointment, and not to mention waste of 40 million+ dollars, if it isn't. I know it looks as if it's gonna be undoubtedly good, but so did Heavenly Sword, and peoples' views on that were pretty mixed. It was a good game, but too short.
Go Guerilla!
Graphics don't matter as much as gameplay, if the gameplay is excellent then I will love it. However all they have done so far is hype up the graphics.
It is another corridor shooter, but if the gameplay is balanced and fun then I will buy it. I did like the first Killzone although it had alot of flaws. I do not expect this game to be a 10/10 and sell 5 million on release day lol. I exepect a solid game with great graphics, gameplay and features to keep me playing.
I did like the first game. It had it's flaws but I still thought it was creative and challenging. Seeing all these new aspects to the game makes me look forward to it even more. Halo killer...Who cares. If it's a good game, it's a good game. It doesn't have to be perfect to be as good as Halo.
while it still looks fantastic. i am getting a little worried about the gameplay. while it does look promising, the only thing thats bothering me is the speed. after looking at it for a long time, it started looking a little slow to me specifically when you 'reload' and 'shoot' (the bullets look like it takes a while to impact what you're shooting at). i could imagine when you play online if you reload slowly, that would take a lot of fun away. maybe i have to play it so i wont notice it but, i hope they speed up the 'reload' times and the speed ratio of your bullets to impact. What i like about halo is that you can shoot accross the level with the 'assault rifle' and you will hit your target at great speeds. I really do wish Killzone 2 turns out great. Dont forget about the fun guys @ Guerrilla. Just speed those elements up, keep the gameplay fun, graphics are there already and they'll have themselves a winner.
I wouldn't be worried about how this game is coming along, Sony has a very talented stable of 1st party developers, arguably the best in the industry.
I for one applaud GG for not showing their hand too early, and I don't think that there is much to worry about. Graphics are the first thing that people focus on, because its the easiest thing to use to indicate a games level of performance compared to other games. GG and Sony know how much is riding on this game, and they are watching the competition very closely.
If you take what GG has said then the graphics for the game look almost done at the pre alpha stage, and E3 was a few months ago, if you go back and look at game impressions from E3 07, the game play issues were not out of control. Other than some alleged AI issues ( which make sense if you are trying to showcase a games technical side and visuals, it might be easier to put the game on easy or god mode so you can make these demonstrations), the controls were reputed to be solid, and everything looked to be on the right track.
The first game while a victim of MEDIA hype, was a decent game on the PS2, but it must be said that this time around GG has a great deal more support from Sony, and this should and will reflect in the final product. Not to mention KZ Liberation which demonstrated a movement forward in the KZ vision and its game design.
Many just tend to look at KZ1 as the only chapter in GG history, but a shaky beginning doesn't mean that a company cannot learn from its mistakes and take steps to make improve. If that were the case then MS should be deemed a failure in the video gaming industry, but we all know that that is not the case.
I will be happy when GG gives more information on this game and I am as anxious as anyone, but given the way they handled all the haters that said that the target render was not possible, I believe we might be in for a treat when this game finally ships. They need to move forward when they are good and ready, not because the media or a small minority of haters are getting restless about new KZ 2 info.
