Killzone 2 hits 1 million players online

A quick look at the Killzone.com leaderboards shows that Killzone 2 has just reached the 1 million players online milestone, just 2 months after its release. By that count, approximately 2/3 of the people that have purchased the game have played a match online.

Guerilla will be further enhancing Killzone 2's multiplayer experience with the Steel and Titanium DLC package, which includes 2 new multiplayer maps and new trophies to collect, later this week. Killzone.com was also recently updated, allowing you to download match replays.

not really impressed so i moved on. MAG will be my next PS3 online game. Sounds like fun. I sure Zipper will be able to pull it off and make Online play fun.

Anon19745476d ago

Sure is different from COD and it's given me a welcome break. It's been almost a month now for me and I still find it quite addictive.

CaseyRyback_CPO5476d ago

The author needs to mention that these are people that have REGISTERED on Killzone.com. If you haven't registered, you wouldn't show up on the site.

Kleptic5476d ago

you would still show up on killzone.com's warzone leaderboard though...right?...

the member count for killzone.com is much higher than 1 million...there were several threads yesterday talking about the in game leaderboard for killzone 2 approaching 1 million quickly...and the in game, and killzone.com leaderboard are the same thing...you don't have to have an 'account' at killzone.com (by linking your PSN account to the site) in order to show up on this player count...or am I missing something?...

CaseyRyback_CPO5475d ago (Edited 5475d ago )

you have to sign up w/your psn id to kz2 to be counted in that million. It pretty much makes your kz2 profile page.

I tried looking for friends that had the game. But haven't registered on the site yet, can't find em until they logged in to the site.

jammy_705475d ago (Edited 5475d ago )

1 mil.. thats great, well done K2 :)

Hellsvacancy5475d ago

Im 1 of those 1 million - a pat on the back 4 me i think :-)

thor5475d ago

Anybody who's played online will show up on the leaderboards. You don't need to register on the site. There are over 1 million people who have played Killzone 2 online.

Lifendz5475d ago

controls are better, but I still prefer R2 or COD4 type controls. Still, KZ2 is so darn pretty to look at and the different classes in MP add a dimension to the game that the others can't touch. I hope they make the AI for the tactician's air support bot a bit tougher cuz getting that badge is a real bish.

MikeMichaels5475d ago

You dont need to register on KZ.com

If you played, you're on the list.

jaysquared5475d ago

That doesn't mean anything when you have an average of 3 psn ID per console.. How many PS3 owners here have multiple names?

Anon19745475d ago

...people are going to disagree with you. I don't care what console you're talking about. If I went on a news article about Halo and declared that Halo didn't impress me, I'd expect to get a certain amount of disagrees.

KZ2 online but I'm loving the SP.

shadowfox5476d ago

they are both really epic! going through sp on the hardest difficulty now myself.

Chubear5475d ago (Edited 5475d ago )

did the same and still playing through the SP. On my 4th play through; playing on easy and sight seeing XD

@2.1
Good luck... you're gonna need it.. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

SiLeNt KNighT5475d ago

the last battle with radec on elite difficulty is extremely hard. on my stats it says 69 deaths on that level alone. i almost have all the trophies but im still working on the intel. i havent played it in a few weeks, think ill jump on for a bit right now.

cant wait for the DLC!

mt5475d ago

if you dare and do it. MP will suck you and make you forget about the SP.

SmokingMonkey5476d ago

bring on the maps! i want 100% Killzone2 trophies again!

G4Chicks5475d ago

the new DLC maps looks really good and I can't wait for retro. now if they can just add new guns...

Socomer 19795476d ago

Its perfect for this summer.
i play random or with my clan.
i love all the modes and i even love the rockets that i dodge right before it smacks me in the face.
so many customizable game modes and options.

Eiffel5475d ago (Edited 5475d ago )

I'm kind of skeptical if this is really legit..

Chubear5475d ago

If you've logged onto KZ2's online it registers it on KZ.com

Sorry I've been on N4G to long. Forced habit.

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-ro48d ago

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

darthv7248d 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_48d ago

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

Cacabunga48d ago

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

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d 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

seanpitt2348d 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!

Iceball200049d ago

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

Father__Merrin49d ago

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

InUrFoxHole49d ago

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

Marcus Fenix49d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198948d ago

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

1Victor49d ago (Edited 49d 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 😱

Michiel198948d 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.

1Victor353d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar353d ago

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

jznrpg352d ago

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

badz149352d 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!

Vengeance1138353d 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 Kim353d ago

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

VersusDMC353d 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?

Vengeance1138353d ago

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

solideagle353d 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.

Phoenix76352d 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

REDGUM352d ago

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

thesoftware730353d ago (Edited 353d 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.

blacktiger352d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca353d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal352d ago

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

Imalwaysright352d 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."

shinoff2183724d ago

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

shinoff2183724d 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

badz149724d 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.
