So Killzone could have gone to store shelves this year. But they decide to delay it only for the simple fact that it will not have a chance this holiday season with resistance and gears 2. That was probably a good move by sony, because the game might have been overshadow. But then again If the game is very good then it can actually steal the spotlight from gears. But sony does not want a conflict of interest between resistance and killzone.

sonarus5853d ago

I don't think it won't have a chance but putting their 2 premiere shooters within 3months of each other is probably not a good idea. R2 is there to hold off gears of war. R2 is still my most anticipated shooter for the yr, mostly due to boss battles and separate 8player coop. Can't wait to see the world premiere game play vid.

KZ2 moving to 09 just strengthens the ps3 09 line up.

TheHater5853d ago

@sonarus
I agree with Sonarus. Resistance 2 is my most wanted FPS this year. It would have somewhat limited both the salese for Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 if they was release with months of each other.

Killzone 2 is Feb next year, and GOD of War 3 is March of next year. I cannot wait for those two game

xaphanze5853d ago

Sounds they were impressed. Unlike IGN...

Will-UK5853d ago

I know ign just seemed to hate it near the end of their preview

BeaArthur5853d ago

It all depends on the person previewing it, everyone is different.

AngryXbot5853d ago

Killzowned is in da house.

Looks like we are the boss, and you are the biatch.

fredy5853d ago

ps3 fanboys love gamespot over ign all the sudden...

confusing..

TheHater5853d ago

I actually have IGN as my homepage :)
Gamespot can't hold a candle to IGN.com in my opinion.
I read they preview yesterday, and notice that the individual that was writing the preview, was a little bias, but had some valid points about the AI we seen so far.

TheHater5853d ago

Is gamespot putting words in people mouth again? I would like them to quote the PR person that stated that, so that way, they would have been more creditable with this article.

fredy5853d ago

"stiff competition from other AAA titles, including Gears of War 2."

Very very stiff

almost stupid to do so.

anh_duong5853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

are you going to play your xbox or are you going to spend all your adult life reading news about a product you don't even own?

sony deemed resistance was good enough to compete against gears hence killzone was moved to 2009. no need to expend energy in competing against gears when resistance 2 will have as much hype. sony is confident that R2 will compete with gears so why bother competing with itself (i.e. k2 with R2)

with gta doing so well in a traditional quiet part of the year the business model for major console release was turned upside down.

in the past, games companies tried everything they could to release in end Q3/Q4 (this is EA's business model) but now games companies don't have to do that. the critical factor is to get the games up to AAA quality as opposed to missing schedules. note that the long delay in GTA actually worked to it's advantage.

killzone delay spreads a major PS3 exclusive release every quarter and gurantees sony maintains its momentum.

your life is more important than being spent in the ps3 news area. you don't own a ps3 so read about xboxes instead. you like the xbox => read xbox news.

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-ro68d ago

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

darthv7268d 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_68d ago

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

Cacabunga68d ago

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

Profchaos68d ago (Edited 68d 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

seanpitt2368d 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!

Iceball200068d ago

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

Father__Merrin68d ago

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

InUrFoxHole68d ago

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

Marcus Fenix68d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198968d ago

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

1Victor68d ago (Edited 68d 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 😱

Michiel198968d 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.

1Victor372d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar372d ago

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

jznrpg372d ago

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

badz149372d 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!

Vengeance1138372d 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 Kim372d ago

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

VersusDMC372d 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?

Vengeance1138372d ago

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

solideagle372d 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.

Phoenix76372d 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

REDGUM372d ago

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

thesoftware730372d ago (Edited 372d 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.

blacktiger372d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca372d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal372d ago

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

Imalwaysright372d 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."

shinoff2183744d ago

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

shinoff2183744d 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

badz149744d 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.
