I just hope they make the perfect control, AI and level design along with great graphics so KZ2 can live up to it's promise and hype. Can't wait.

HeartlesskizZ6731d ago

I hope 2... and vehicles is not a big hype for me in KZ2 but is sure a good +.... im very concern about the gameplay configuration... I still think that being able to switch in 3rd person wile cover could have been a great add...

MK_Red6731d ago

I don't know much about the cover system and vehicles are new to KZ but the areas that I really hope they put their effor into perfecting the control, level design and most importantly, enemy AI.
Multiplayer is good but I'm not a MP type of person and prefer a singleplayer with good story and great level design to any multiplayer mode. Let's hope KZ2 delievers on both fronts :)

sonarus6731d ago (Edited 6731d ago )

i used to be single player oriented but this is next gen mk_red. Online is where it is at. I love playing with my friends and talkin trash and all. My friends arent always around but they have online connections and have ps3's/360's so we play online. Helghast arent the only ppl on helghan that opens up more possibilities. Guerilla is quite aware of the major criticisms from KZ1 and they plan to address these issues head on. I hate multiplayer games without vehicles i can say right now if KZ dosent have vehicles it will probably be a rental cus i knw i wnt play the multiplayer for long. Level design is quite important they need to give us levels that are quite original and truly fun to play in

MK_Red6731d ago

I know Multiplayer is important for next-gen and agree but as I said, it's not important to me as no matter what, I'm a singleplayer guy and always prefer SP to multiplayer / MMO and stuff. Always the lone wolf ;)

DARKKNIGHT6731d ago

this game looks freaking badassss.

i love the trailers for it, theyre so awesome. i like the animations when you shoot the guys with red eyes

MK_Red6731d ago

Killzone 2 and The Dark Knight are both pretty badass and hopefully both live up to their hype and potential.

Violater6731d ago

am I the only one that is upset that we prob wont get the game till next fall?

TheHater6731d ago

Dude even if the make this game perfect, or come really close to perfection, people are still going to complain. Trolls will always come up with something that doesn't make an sense to bash it.

I for one can't wait for this game. I will really like to be in that Beta. And if the Beta is coming out mid 2008. Then this game will be coming out around September next year.

Polluted6731d ago

@Demon_Zoul: I know what you mean about the cover system. I mean a cover system that works in the first person sounds like a weird idea, but Guerilla really seems to be focused on keeping the player as immersed in the game as possible. Taking us out of the first person would kind of kill the immersion factor. If they can pull this off and make the game as immersive as they are hoping, then I'm all for the first person cover system.

Bubbles for you my friend, I don't think I could have said it better.

The date sounds about right for the beta. As for the vehicles I believe that's a given as well.

I'm not sure how to feel about a third faction in the game. I'm scared for the game if it's true. :( ISA vs. Helghast is enough for me.

MK_Red6731d ago

A new faction could end up either really really good or really really bad. Hopefully the former happens.

Polluted6731d ago

I think a third faction will be cool. A lot of the complaints about the first Killzone are completely unfounded IMO, but one issue with that game that everyone can agree on is that there wasn't much variety in the enemies. Adding another faction to the game could really add some much needed variety in the stuff you're shooting at. If handled well it could take the story in some neat directions as well. Or it could just suck...

HarryEtTubMan6731d ago

Killzone 2 is gonna pwn. They arent gonna screw it up. I know it. Ive heard the Multiplayer is insane and super intense!

i3EY6731d ago

cant wait till the beta goin 2 b some good s!$5

MK_Red6731d ago

Thanks but the credit belongs to Clinton514 :)

Skerj6731d ago

Wow player controlled vehicles? Here I was thinking the MP mode would be a decidedly closed affair, but if we get to play out the opening sequences with the dropships online hot damn that's going to rock.

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

OtterX577d ago (Edited 577d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne576d ago (Edited 576d 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-ro576d ago

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

just_looken576d 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

MDTunkown577d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72577d 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_looken576d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya576d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast576d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood576d 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.

OtterX806d ago (Edited 806d ago )

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-ro805d ago

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

darthv72805d 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_805d ago

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

Cacabunga805d ago

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

Profchaos805d ago (Edited 805d 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

seanpitt23805d 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!

Iceball2000806d ago

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

Father__Merrin806d ago

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

InUrFoxHole806d ago

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

Marcus Fenix806d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989805d ago

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

1Victor806d ago (Edited 806d 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 😱

806d ago
Michiel1989805d ago

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

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1110d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1110d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1109d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491109d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381110d ago

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

Shane Kim1110d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1110d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381110d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1110d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761110d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1109d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

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.

blacktiger1109d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1110d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1109d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1109d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
