All i ask for is.
1.KZ2 gameplay
2.KZ2 lobby matchmaking
3.Don't cater to the little 12 year olds.

KwietStorm_BLM5139d ago

Nothing more to see here. Keep it moving everyone.

pixelsword5138d ago (Edited 5138d ago )

LOL

Pretty much.

Except I wanna play as the heavy, I want the regular soldier back, and I want the regular soldier to exclusively be able to take cover for MP games.

sikbeta5138d ago

Hmmm... thought next in the franchise would be VitaZone :P

InactiveUser5138d ago

KZ2 (and 3) MP seemed to 'cater to the little 12 year olds' already, so I don't get your point. Turrets killing for you, air support killing for you, 1hit bodyshot sniper while being invisible, enemies shown as teammates, running around at 80mph, etc.

KZ2 matchmaking? Yea, because custom Ranked boosting lobbies are a good thing. /s

awesomeperson5138d ago (Edited 5138d ago )

@EEJLP

I don't agree the KZ2 caters to the little 12 year olds, while there are turrets and air support, these were easily combated.

Each class offered different advantages and disadvantages that had to be weighed up, and the sniper wasn't as huge of a deal in KZ2 and it was in KZ3 (that was a tad overpowered, especially when given an assault rifle).

I thought KZ2 was A LOT of fun, and the multiplayer generally had a steeper learning curve and was harder to truly get good at than many other multiplayer games at the time on the PS3.

KZ3 certainly felt like an easier learning curve, and was easier to master in general.

Kleptic5138d ago

EeJLP...

one of the toughest ribbons in the game was getting the 5 turret kills in a round or whatever...those things where worthless in KZ2...

KZ2 DEFINITELY had some balls, and went against the grain of most modern competitive multiplayer games...it did an incredible job of balancing team based tactics, while still allowing you to be very effective on your own...Where in CoD, you don't EVER need a team mate...and BF3 random team mates will often ruin the experience...KZ2 fell safely in the middle, something no other title has done this generation imo...it was straight forward with a limited hud, no flashing points every single time you did anything...no big old 'you killed XXXXXX' after every kill...It was a shooter that didn't cater to the ADHD crowd that plagues multiplayer games any more...and it was written off quickly because of that...

the boosting lobbies was a little lame, but that was an area that the game was behind in anyway... persistence was entirely lacking, you could hit max rank in just a few hours (they did patch in 3 extra ranks, but they were completely arbitrary)...so the handgun boosting lobbies, etc, didn't really accomplish anything but some trophies...

the sniper rifle, even being a OHK on everything...was still ok imo...no hip fire accuracy, no prone, and some pretty wonky aiming mechanics with it...didn't make snipers half the problem they are in other titles...even the big bad 'invisible' thing was limited to only when standing perfectly still, when not firing, and when someone hadn't centered you on screen to highlight your position...

KZ3...that sucked imo...as it turned back on everything that made kz2 great to many of us...and i didn't even bother with it...

InactiveUser5137d ago (Edited 5137d ago )

"one of the toughest ribbons in the game was getting the 5 turret kills in a round or whatever...those things where worthless in KZ2"

It could be hard, depending where you put them, who you're playing, and how long the match is. But it's not too hard if you consider matches can be hours long. It could be 7? rounds in a match and up to 30 minutes each. Not too hard to get 5 in two-three and a half hours. Also not too hard if you have them near objectives the enemy will likely be distracted by. They also can also randomly headshot the shi out of people sometimes.

I agree with what you said about the points popping up all over the place wasn't a good addition in 3.

Overall I still don't consider either KZ good or competitive at all. Obviously some will master the gameplay over others, but that doesn't necessarily make them good. It just makes them better at being noobs than others. 1hit body shots do not equal good. Neither does the CPU [turrets & air support] killing, assisting kills, distracting, giving up your position, slowing enemies and wasting their ammo. Neither does being invisible or running around at 5-10x normal speed. Etc.

agree with ken22. but to play as the helgast would be +!

Regent_of_the_Mask5139d ago

KZ2 gameplay? No thanks. I'd rather have KZ3 gameplay as the controls didn't feel so stiff and the cover system was much more fluid.

TheFirstClassic5139d ago (Edited 5139d ago )

Killzone 3 had less input lag, which was good, but the guns felt less weighty and there seemed to be less difference in recoil. I agree on the cover system though.

Edit: @Frankfurt below, metacritic and my love of both Resistance and Killzone says otherwise.

Outside_ofthe_Box5139d ago

KZ3's controls were good as it eliminated the input lag, but other than that KZ2's gameplay was better.

I want KZ3's controls with KZ2's gunplay. That will be perfect imo.

k-dillinger5138d ago

@Regent_of_the_Mask

me and you both kz2 was damn near unplayable online with those controls if ya'll wanna play that go hop on kz2

RonRico5138d ago

they had to release a patch for KZ2 because of the controls. Loved that game but come on, the controles were kinda lacking.

cannon88005139d ago (Edited 5139d ago )

"Duty, Obedience, and Loyalty" are the three virtues of the Helghast Triad. Our source says, these lines were written for a woman, who has ties to a Helghan Autarch. We’re speculating here, but the speaker might be Aurarch Visari’s daughter. Our source wouldn’t comment if this is tied to the upcoming Killzone game for PlayStation Vita.

How do they know these things?

What kind of witchcraft is this?

NarooN5138d ago

I've known that since 2004. Talking with the dev team who used to post on the official forums since 2005, and reading the backstory on the website, you could learn a lot.

GraveLord5139d ago

If KZ3 catered to the 12-year olds, it would have sold more.

Outside_ofthe_Box5139d ago (Edited 5139d ago )

No. It did cater to 12-year olds. They just bought Call of Duty instead. Which is why there is no point in trying to cater to the CoD crowd. Just make your own game.

pixelsword5138d ago

@ outside_ofthe_box

You got that right:

Star Wars VI-IV was it's own movie

Episode I catered to the kids, which was like being raped by lobsters.

Episode II-III tried to catered to everyone, which is why it also could not stand with a movie twenty years older than itself.

CoD is the Jar-Jar of gaming.

RonRico5138d ago (Edited 5138d ago )

2 advanced for 12yr olds

Eyeco5138d ago (Edited 5138d ago )

im gonna ask for 3 things

1. FEATURES for god sake give us some content, Killzone 2-3 were just the complete barebones of FPS if your trying to compete with halo , BF and cod as the king of fps give the gamer a cd jam packed with FEATURES e.g. veichals in multiplayer, survival modes, more maps cinema mode, i know MW3 is an abortion of a game but damn it gives you your moneys worth .

2. A decent story , with good writing thats at least 8 hours Killzone 2-3 could be beat in one sitting, allot of people dont know about this but Killzone 1 actually had a pretty decent story and the campaign was pretty good to, with some excellent level design and it lasted a decent 8 hours with allot of replay value.

3. KZ2 looking back was a pretty great game the problems that i had with it , was it didnt know wether it was a tactical shooter or a lame cod arcade shooter, i think if guerilla games focused on a more tactical game it could really stand out among shooters especially with its hard sci-fi setting.
Killzone 3 went for the shallow cod arcade gameplay, in fact Killzone 3 just felt like a rip off from COD e.g. the stealth missions made me lool they just screamed COD 4

5138d ago
Thatguy-3105138d ago

IMO they need better acting. Killzone 3 acting was disappointing IMO.

Slugg3r5138d ago

Voice acting was done by very good actors, atleast when it comes to bad guys. It is the writing that really needs improvement.

5138d ago
showtimefolks5138d ago

you know killzone and resistance 2 were the only online fps i played and since than i have not played anything else. I would buy KZ4 day on but they don't need to cater to COD fans and be loyal to your KZ fans who supported KZ2 and KZ3

MrMister5138d ago

Do we need another 1st person shooter? I own Killzone already, but do we need a 4th one this soon? I'm not sick of action games, i'm just sick of 1st person. I own so many FPS's that the thought of buying another one makes me sick. I wish they would use the talent at Guerilla to make a new IP with a different way of playing.

Games4M - Rob5138d ago

I need a fourth one to try and help me get over how shit the 3rd one was.

Gamer30005138d ago

Sh1t!! sony can't you keep a secret till E3 ??!!
anyway can't wait for KZ4

DeadlyFire5138d ago

Noone can keep a big secret. Someone hears it and runs instantly to the internet.

ritsuka6665138d ago (Edited 5138d ago )

Yeha, Killzone 3 is one bigest disapointg compared Killzone 2 =/

tigertron5138d ago

Basically, KZ2 for the Vita.

Killzone 2 is by far the best in the series in terms of gameplay, multiplayer, graphics. Everything really, except mechs.

KwietStorm_BLM5138d ago

Why is it that I agreed with you, but I get all the disagrees..

Nes_Daze5135d ago

Yes, don't cater to the Call of duty fans...please.

OllieBoy5139d ago

It's probably the Vita version, set to be shown at E3.

LOL_WUT5138d ago

This pretty much its going to be a Killzone game for the Vita, KZ4 should be a PS4 title.

F7U125139d ago (Edited 5139d ago )

Hoping for KZ4 on the PS4 at 1080p with a solid 60FPS.

pixelsword5138d ago

Hoping for KZ4 on the PS3 at 1080p with a solid 60FPS.

STONEY45138d ago

Hoping for KZ4 on the PS2 at 1080p with a solid 60FPS.

Hoping for KZ4 on the ps1 at 4k with a solid 120FPS

NewVegasTroop5138d ago

Hoping for KZ4 on the atari 2600 at 1080p with a solid 60FPS.

surely someone was going to ruin it sooner or later xD

NarooN5138d ago

Hoping for KZ4 on the Pocketstation at 1080p with a solid 60FPS.

(Yeah, I went there.)

Nope I replied to the OP outside of the other replies so the line may continue. I break nothing!

DeadlyFire5138d ago

KZ4 next gen teaser like KILLZONE 2 next-gen teaser only more impressive than that. :P

My hope anyway. IF they do that though they will need to put BC in first few waves of PS4 since they just announced a few PS3 titles for next year.

neutralgamer195139d ago

Ken 22 i agree Kz2 was so much better in so many respects. Kz3 felt so arcady and generic. So much so that i probably played triple the time on mp on kz2, then i did on kz3.

Whitefeather5139d ago

Can never have enough Killzone.

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

RaiderNation428d 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.

Abear21428d 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.

JunonZanon428d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga427d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage427d ago

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

Jingsing428d 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

Cacabunga433d ago

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

INMATEofARKHAM433d ago

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

Outside_ofthe_Box433d ago

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

Knightofelemia433d ago

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

GamingManiac431d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE433d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM433d ago

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

RedDeadLB433d 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.

senorfartcushion433d 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.

ibrake4naps433d 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.

isarai528d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga528d 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!

Becuzisaid528d ago

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

Army_of_Darkness527d 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😂

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.
