Three Projects from Killzone Devs in the Works

Guerrilla Games is known for the Killzone franchise, and that isn't changing any time soon. During an art process panel at GDC 2012, Guerrilla's Studio Art Director Jan-Bart van Beek said that the team -- which now includes the Sony Cambridge Studios working on Killzone Vita -- is simultaneously working on three different projects. There's the aforementioned Vita game, a new non-Killzone title, and continuing the franchise on the PlayStation 3.

I would love to see their tech in something not a shooter.

Nitrowolf25208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

agreed, but it's kind of rare I think to see devs move away from the genre they mainly do.
Bungie is known for FPS
Naughty dog is known for third person Platformer/shooter (thanks majiebeast)
GG FPS
Sucker Punch Third person platformer (again thanks) with open world.
ect. ect.

You don't see many devs actually going out there and creating a completely different genre that we aren't use to them doing. There are some, but would love to see more of them take something else on.

Always wanted GG to move past KZ and into another game.

I know Santa Monica is part of the few that actually do something and use their tech in other places that isn't just God of War or they at least create games that are just third person hack and slash.

I could be wrong here, I just don't notice it.

Jobesy5208d ago

I would take that Dark Science game over another Killzone any day of the week. Killzone is great and all, but it needs to rest for a bit, perhaps until the PS4 comes out.

Outside_ofthe_Box5208d ago

I really hope KZ4 plays nothing like the casual mess KZ3 was.

KZ4 needs to go back to the roots of Killzone 2.

Machioto5208d ago

@ nitro GG before being bought out by Sony they worked on gameboy games under a different name.

GamingTruth5208d ago

Jobesy, im guessing you would probably want that cause youve somehow been convinced that theres "nothing left in ps3" meaning the pc fans have really got to you, or you are a pc fan, but just know you wouldnt think that killzone needs to wait til a ps4 if Axis actually made killzone 2 as they originally were going to

SuperBeast8115208d ago

Naughty dog has done two kart racing games in the past though

morganfell5208d ago

Personally I would like to see a really kick ass strategy game set in the Killzone universe that has battles on Vekta, Helhgan, and in space.

Nitrowolf25208d ago

@SuperBeast811

good point, I forgot completely about those.

I don't expect to see an unKarted game though. Might be a digital game, but a full retail? not really sure.

killerhog5208d ago

Guerrilla games did a third person shooter [shellshock nam 67] game.

Naughty dog also developed a roleplaying game (which published by EA), and also a fighting [way of the warrior] game.

sigh, but you kids only know developers for their 'recent' or 'mainstream' stuff. i loved how, in the tester [season 3], one of the cast members vaunts about knowing 'everything' on all developers (more specifically playstation devs). so, when they [judges] asked him about GG he goes "killzone", then NaughtyDog he goes "uncharted", and then Santa Monica "god of war", and finally incognito "twisted metal". like yeah, everyone knows all the top games these devs made, how about stating the more underrated ones?

palaeomerus5208d ago

And between Marathon, and Halo Bungie did the first two games of the Myth RTS series.

HellzAssassin5208d ago

Agreed. Action game please!?
Or hell, we could use some platformers this generation.

Virtual_Reality5208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

Probably a new IP, but is going to be related with War, that's for sure.

If they make a Hellghast story version to play against the ISA, should good. Afterall, the ISA is bad as the Hellghast if you follow the story.

OhMyGandhi5208d ago

They simply need better writers.
I loved Killzone 2's presentation, and the art direction was simply phenomenal.
But I couldn't care less about any of the characters.
...and that's certainly a problem when the shooter begs to be taken seriously.

FrankDrebin5208d ago

I think this is great news but, I hope they give each project the right amount of attention and don't spread themselves thinly.

Wow, 2 killzones and another project? Can't wait for E3.

srcBFMVBMTH5208d ago

Yea dude, Sony's first party developers are working their asses off. So damn excited about the new IP's as well.

We got Guerrilla Games working on a new IP and Killzone 4

We got Sucker Punch working on a new IP or Infamous 3.
http://www.destructoid.com/...

We got Media Molecule working on a new IP.
http://thesilentchief.com/2...

We got Sony Santa Monica working on a new IP and probably God of War 4.
http://www.nowgamer.com/new...

And also Zipper with a new IP.
http://hypeup.net/index.php...

SOO many fresh faces!!!! Can't wait for Quantic Dreams' new IP as well.

josephayal5208d ago

three Projects? hmmm 2 For the PS3 and 1 for the XBOX 360?

majiebeast5208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

Yeah definatley seeing as they are a first party studio completely owned by sony i can see them doing a 360 game.

Also Nitro, ND is known for platformers same as suckerpunch.

Nitrowolf25208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

Can't tell if Joking, but come on you didn't even bother to read the discription.
"here's the aforementioned Vita game, a new non-Killzone title, and continuing the franchise on the PlayStation 3. (PS3)"

and not only that Sony owns them

Virtual_Reality5208d ago

''Can't tell if Joking''

josephayal make random comments most of the time.

Jamzluminati5208d ago

I fucking lol'ed.

Anywho, one for the PSVita(Killzone Ops), one for the PS3(swan song title), and one for PS4(Killzone 4)

GamingTruth5208d ago

nah killzone 4 for ps3 then killzone 5 for ps4 maybe

TooTall195208d ago

I hope there is a killzone for Vita and PS4, and they make a new IP for their last PS3 game. It would be the safest place for a new IP.

GraveLord5208d ago

Are you illiterate?
They specifically said a Killzone for Vita, a Killzone for PS3 and something else which isn't Killzone.

Guerilla games is owned by Sony, they will never make any Xbox 360 games.

Patriots_Pride5208d ago

Your sarcasm meter must be broken.

dale_denton5208d ago

josephayal you sir, have been SERVED.

JellyJelly5208d ago

Funny thing is that josephayal was most likely joking and you guys took it dead serious.

I don't think Killzone would have an audience on the 360 considering it would compete with Halo.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle43d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde50d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy50d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7751d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga51d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199251d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga51d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman51d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger51d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box51d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion50d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7251d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7551d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit51d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14951d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7751d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
