Guerrilla Games Not Done with the PS3

"Halo started it all for console first person shooters as we know them, and until Call of Duty 4 came along, it was pretty much unopposed. One failed attempt to take the crown was the original Killzone, which received a poor response from gamers everywhere. Killzone 2 launched on the PlayStation 3 earlier this year in February and has gone up against the juggernauts of the FPS genre. TheGamerAccess.com was hungry for more information on Killzone 2 and the future plans of Guerrilla Games so they were nice enough to answer many of our questions."

1 - Guerilla Games
What do you guys think Guerilla Games is going to do with the PlayStation 3? Create a new Killzone, or come up with a new franchise?

The way Killzone 2 ended, I'm itching for the story to continue. However, I really would like to see them try something else.

1.4 - i hope its a new ip
i want to see their engine do something else. And i wasnt a big fan of the generic storyline of K2. Just imagine a sandbox RPG with killzone 2 graphics kinda like The Elder Scrolls?? That would be awesome. Hoping for a new IP GG.

a new IP or Killzone 3. I just hope they focus more on story telling next time. Killzone 2's story was pretty damn good but wasn't really told as much as Killzone's story was.

Kz2 story is not generic. In fact is well told and with very interesting twists.

Dont forget KZ universe story has been unfolding since Kz1.

Oh God, not another generic shooter! And before some fanboy screams I don't own the game just say the word and I'll take a damn pic with my screen name and time and upload it. After the other day I'm sick and tired of butt hurt fanboys acting like asses anytime a criticism is leveled at a PS3 game!

halo didnt start anything! medal of honor and the original cod's did all the work.

i understand that everyone likes halo, but give credit where credit is due!

i think that he just cant resist bringing up killzone without mentoning halo.

I read and watch alot of early 20th century history. GG used it as an inspiration for their KZ Universe which is why i find it very interesting. The Helgan Invasion is just a short burst of the overall story. People forget this.

Pardon my english.

All FPS shooters have a generic storyline.

War.
Bad guys.
Good guys.
Kill the leader.

Rinse and repeat.

Not just the same generic story but the same generic character stereotypes and set pieces. I'm so waiting for another FPS to offer something more this gen the way Bioshock did. FPS has been the most overrated genre this gen with inflated review scores.

Since I don't really play shooters anymore, of course I hope they'll show us what they can do in another genre.

I love RPGs, but I don't think that's likely. Does GG have any RPG experience? If not, I doubt they'd risk a genre they possibly have no clue about. So I expect a KZ3 or a 3PS. It's all good.

If you read into the KZ universe, you'll see there are no clearly defined good guys/bad guys. Visari has just manipulated the Helghast.

"If you read into the KZ universe, you'll see there are no clearly defined good guys/bad guys. Visari has just manipulated the Helghast."

I haven't but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

As for good guys and bad guys...both sides of war are a good/bad guy in the eyes of some. You just always play the 'good guy' in games.

That'd be something new. Play as Nazi's in a WW2 shooter. Play as the Helghast in Killzone 3 (which could lead to your point above about Visari's manipulation).

I'm hoping for Killzone 3. Killzone is a huge IP, Guerrilla shouldn't switch to another one, not yet. Besides it would be really awesome to play as a Helghast in Kz3 singleplayer campaign, after all the ISA are really the bad guys.

1.25 - what the f...?
there are 3 games that come to mind when talking about GG and that's KZ(PS2), KZ Liberation(PSP) and KZ2(PS3)! why are people expecting them to try a different thing already? that just shows how crowded the FPS market at the moment but to come out with KZ2 which was touted as impossible on this generation of consoles is an achievement for GG and a lot of people seem to neglect that, which is SAD! Bungie did 3 Halos and then parted from M$ but will still come out with not 1 but 2 halos! SE have been doing RPG since what, 15 year? or may be more, I don't know but why none complaining? I would like GG to just concentrating on KZ3 for now and make it an even epic FPS than KZ2! GO GG!!

All I know is that anything they do will be awesome. Killzone 2 was and is still one of the best games I have played on years. If they continue the series then I will be titillated and if they create a whole new IP, then too will I be titillated.

Yeah man the Killzone story is pretty deep and interesting, reading the lore on the website always made me wonder if it was the ISA who were really the bad guys and the Helghast the victims, pushed too far and the war being the result of that.

actually it's 4 there first and only multiplatform game Shellshock for PS2 & Xbox and Killzone series .
@ Karum well i haven't played Killzone 2 but Helghast are like germany before WW2 during poverty they were bullied by the other countries because of WW1 and during there darkest days they choose Hitler to lead em out of darkness which is what the Helghast are and Visari is Hitler

Um, no. Switch GoldenEye with Halo, you fanboy author.

The ISA are the bad guys! The Helghast have massive energy reserves and the ISA want them. It is a shot at America. The American citizens still believe they are the good guys while they've been running around the world reeking havoc for 50 years for their "Interests".

Even after they find out Bush and Cheney created a secret CIA counter terrorism program they hid from congress 'BEFORE' 911(sleep on the job much). How long has 911 truth been saying the CIA perpetrated 911.

i think killzone 3 is going to take it to the next level
i mean transport online
coop upto 10 players
perks
and more

and now mag has 256 players online
i think we will see killzone 3 push online to the next level
im not saying 256 maybe a long side 50 vs 50

2.1 - Well
Killzone 3 would probably be better than KZ2, but as much as I want another Killzone, I would rather wish they would make a new game.

A non-shooter game with or better Killzone 2 graphics = badass.

Killzone 3 50 vs 50? Ehm no thx.

There is no way they will even try get that many people online in killzone 3 because it simply doesnt fit the gameplay. Also im sure Guerrilla will focus on getting even better graphics. If they put in 50 vs 50 they will have to downgrade the graphics instead of increasing them

3 - Party System
At least this interview ends the discussion of a party system coming to Killzone 2. That is my #1 complaint with Killzone 2 because the online experience is amazing, but it can be a pain to get into a game with friends.

I just started playing killzone again yesterday (last time played was march) and I forgot how much I liked that game. There are things like the party system that sucks but I did see that they extended the ranks so now there are 3 more levels above general. I would also like to see some co-op a la R2 added.

5 - "Halo started it all for console first person shooters as we know them...."
I stop reading right there. Has this guy never heard of Perfect Dark (RARE second best game behind Donkey Kong Country for the SNES) or Golden Eye for the N64?

@PirateThom
What exactly do he mean "as we know them"?
I remember playing Halo exactly they way I played Golden Eye and Perfect Dark for the N64. I played it with four friends over on the same screen on the same console? Halo did not change anything for me. Unless he is referring to Halo 2, which did change the way I played FPS on a console. If he was referring to Halo 2, then he should have made that clear.

@lokiroo420

5.4 - The thing is, a lot of young gamers
these days thought that Halo brought FPS to consoles because they only started gaming when the xbox came out.

I still remember buying a red coloured SNES DOOM cartridge game. That was my first FPS experience on the console.

AhemZasan - 148 days 22 hours ago
5.7 - I played the heck out some Goldeneye myself...
but when he says "as we know them" he's most likely referring to online/LAN play. FPS's these days are known for online fragfests, not the split-screen all-nighters from the golden days of the N64 (see what I did there). Although many halo fanatics relegated their gaming to single-system play, the game did offer, for the first time on consoles, the ability to at least play LAN matches with up to 16 players.

With the advent of services like Xbconnect and Xlink Kai these LAN games pushed out across the world. It was essentially the beginning of mainstream online FPS play on consoles. That, my friends, is something Goldeneye and Perfect Dark did not offer.

But I guess there is this undying love for those classics, along with an intensely popular hatred for the Halo series, so I'm probably totally wrong. My bad.

5.8 - Quake 2 for the PS1
Beat everyone to the punch. Or Codename: Tenka.

There's lots of games that you can name that came out before Halo that were innovative and brought things to the modern FPS.

At any rate; Bring the Merc/Bounty Hunters back, and more outside influences and alliances. And show a helghast chick, with big thingies... you know; big guns. Er, big weapons. Whatev. lol

5.9 - I think...
I think he like others have pointed was referring to Halo setting the standards for online/Lan and of course today's modern control scheme for console FPS Games.

I'm a Halo fan myself, but to me Perfect Dark will always be the best console FPS ever made. It still has more features than every console FPS since.
