As long as Sony advertises KillZone 2 properly it should sell incredibly well. If KillZone 2 does indeed sell well I think a sequel is warranted. Knowing GG KillZone 3 would probably raise the bar on KillZone 2!

Kingsora5586d ago

Although I have the feeling that this game has so much hype, that a sales flop would be impossible ^^

Kleptic5586d ago

yeah its impossible for a sales flop...it may not move a ton more PS3's right now because of the current PS3 price...which leaves the biggest question in regard to a price cut around the release of the game...

but the game will sell incredibly well into the arleady established base of PS3s...nearly 20 million PS3's worldwide right now...I have little doubt that killzone 2 won't top 5 million before summer...

lord_of_balrogs5586d ago

In all fairness SO4 and Halo Wars won't take away from KZ2 because they are all part of different genres. KZ2's only real competition in sales for software on the PS3 is F.E.A.R. 2.

i would love a sequel as well-

the killzone universe is HUGE and comes with depth in story and role of characters.

if they continue with a sequel though-i would hope they dont take as long as killzone 2 now that they are familiar with the ps3's machanics and possibilities along with their own creative and CGI quality gameplay.
hold me to this____ KILLZONE 2 will be one of tho's games that will forever be remembered and used to compare for future games and projects from other devs out there.
i just hope GG helps other 1st party devs with the knolage of the ps3 and its magnificent capabilities.
every exclusive should looke and live upo to killzone 2 from here on.

ima go play killzone 1 and liberation now-PEACE!

Kleptic5586d ago

they are already helping other devs...Santa Monica studios are using Killzone 2's lighting and mo-cap assets for GoW III...and Uncharted is borrowing some more of the perfected high res texture streaming apparently...

the latter of which was started by naughty dog, and GG took that further...its all shared proprietary middleware...its all part of the EDGE dev kit that SCE has been having their entire empire working on internally...of which EA has been commenting on that it immensely helps with PS3 development (its free to licensed 3rd parties too)...which is arguably why we have seen quality of EA PS3 games sky rocket over 2008...

THC CELL5586d ago

killzone 3 next 2 years woop woop

Rock Bottom5586d ago

How about Killzone 2: something something..., save Killzone 3 for next gen.

Graphics Whore5586d ago (Edited 5586d ago )

Killzone has a pretty amazing back story, it most likely doesn't shine through in the games but if anyone is interested they can find the story line on GG's official Killzone.com

By the way, the Helghast are NOT aliens as many people they presume to be, if you want to know more you're just gonna have to read.

Official Flash Version:

Edit:

I don't know if the Helghast are more intelligent but they're much more adept to their environment and genetic modifications make them more brute force however their space ship cavalry is really really lacking compared to the ISA.

Kleptic5586d ago

yeah the timeline on where the killzone games fall in the killzone universe is extremely interesting...and killzone 2 is just one of 3 parts of the conflict, where as Killzone 1 was another...there is a lot of untouched fiction left in the story of the games...plenty of room for full titles and other spin-offs...although killzone 2 is supposed to be a pretty big finale between Vekta and Helghan, at least in terms of the hitler like Visari running the show...

aiphanes5586d ago (Edited 5586d ago )

They were the first settlers on the first planets in the alpha centuri system...helghan and vekta are in the alpha centauri system.
A lot of people died trying to get the this system...but in the end it paid off...until earth wanted more control..

They could make a killzone movie and it would be awesome...

Nathaniel_Drake5586d ago

Amazing story, the Helghan were people from Earth but got to powerful by being the first to successfully colonize, the others died in a sun flare

Too much power was put into the Helghan's hands and they felt superior which is the point to where this all started

I felt mad that the Helghan's did this and tried to take over the UCN, but how the UCN treated the innocent Helghan, wanting to live in peace by taxing them and putting them on a planet with no medical or finacial support, makes you hate the UCN

The story gets very interesting when Helghan becomes Helghast with a ruler like Visari wanting revenge against UCN, but his thinking of doing the same thing UCN did to them to do to innocent Earth inhabitants makes you go against the Helghast

Then the ISA now caught in the middle of it thinking they are going to be blamed for the UCN's faults of Helghast treatment now have disbanded if I read right

So many sides to take, which side to choose ISA or Helghast, the story just makes it so much exciting to play the game, it makes the wait so much harder

Graphics Whore5586d ago (Edited 5586d ago )

Reading the storyline really put it in perspective, I hope they put emphasis on the story because it really is something.

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.

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-ro50d ago

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

darthv7250d 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_50d ago

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

Killzone 2+3

Profchaos50d ago (Edited 50d 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

seanpitt2350d 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!

Iceball200050d ago

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

Father__Merrin50d ago

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

InUrFoxHole50d ago

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

Marcus Fenix50d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198950d ago

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

1Victor50d ago (Edited 50d 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 😱

Michiel198950d 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.

1Victor354d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar354d ago

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

jznrpg354d ago

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

badz149354d 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!

Vengeance1138354d 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 Kim354d ago

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

VersusDMC354d 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?

Vengeance1138354d ago

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

solideagle354d 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.

Phoenix76354d 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

REDGUM354d ago

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

thesoftware730354d ago (Edited 354d 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.

blacktiger354d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca354d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal354d ago

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

Imalwaysright354d ago

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

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183726d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183726d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149726d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
