SONY, Retailers save us all from possible disappointment

The VideoGameWatchdog raises the Question of Killzone 2 Midnight Launches

"Is it possible to estimate the anticipation for Killzone 2 or is it possible to under estimate the anticipation. The internet is full of buzz for the game that does not need to be named, most are on tenderhooks waiting for the deliveries to start, some countries have even gotten their hands on it already but can the millions of PS3 owners rely on that all important delivery date?"

We at MS have "coerced" GameStop to cancel any midnight launches. History has shown these launches attract a lot of positive attention for the media in question (look at Star Wars), so it is in our best interest to not allow this game to run over us like a FedEx delivery truck.

On the other hand, Halo Wars is available at midnight at most local retailers, even though we have no idea who is going to buy this game.

komp5583d ago

can you coerce another place to do it instead please ;)

Aaron Greenterd5583d ago

I understand you are an honest gamer just waiting for Killzone 2, just like every other honest and unbiased gamer.

But we at MS cannot let good intentions get in the way of our bottom line. As I stated before, you can purchase Halo Wars at midnight, Killzone 2 will have to wait until the next day.

And hopefully by then, Halo Wars will have replaced your good intentions with deep hatred for Sony, and discourage you from going back to get Killzone 2.

Sorry bud, we have a business to run.

komp5583d ago

I guess ill have to get an xbox then and save myself from the pain and anguish :)

OSIRUSSS5583d ago

You get a 360 and you will learn a new meaning of Pain!!!

because authorities would not allow it. The FBI feared the foaming delirious bots who would have flooded throughout North America to get their hands on the superb Killzone 2 and brand new PS3s and therefore operated stealthily to prevent any midnight launch. In a soon to be released document, the FBI reveals that bots which are well known for their lack of manners, intelligence and propensity to turn into savages b!tchfighting via VOIP. A mass meeting of bots was deemed too dangerous for National Security.

Bots are also known to turn into degenerate sexual predators at midnight. Bad coc ktail.

Queers of War5583d ago

its more for public safety

you never know when jealous bots are going to do drive bys with bb guns and super soakers

Ryuk5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

They canceled the midnight launches b/c the kiddie droids will be in bed awaiting school the next day thus leading to no one showing up at their stores.

Mr Tretton5583d ago

I'll probably be sleeping that night and will just pick it up in the morning.

I was at the midnight launch for MGS4 and it did not change my life to play it at 12:30am than wait til the next afternoon after work. If anything, I lost important sleep.

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-ro79d ago

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

darthv7279d 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_79d ago

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

Cacabunga79d ago

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

Profchaos79d ago (Edited 79d 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

seanpitt2379d 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!

Iceball200079d ago

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

Father__Merrin79d ago

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

InUrFoxHole79d ago

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

Marcus Fenix79d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198979d ago

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

1Victor79d ago (Edited 79d 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 😱

Michiel198979d 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.

1Victor383d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar383d ago

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

jznrpg383d ago

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

badz149383d 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!

Vengeance1138383d 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 Kim383d ago

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

VersusDMC383d 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?

Vengeance1138383d ago

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

solideagle383d 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.

Phoenix76383d 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

REDGUM383d ago

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

thesoftware730383d ago (Edited 383d 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.

blacktiger383d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca383d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal383d ago

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

Imalwaysright383d 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."

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

shinoff2183755d 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

badz149755d 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.
