I watched the whole video, they didn't say that its entering quote "final Polish"! I hope it is, cause i want it to come out though.
This is a "game of the year" type game and definitely FPS of the year next year!
The only doubt i had about this game was the multi player, and after reading and seeing the new details, its going to be amazing. Genre Defining!

morganfell5771d ago

The game is in Alpha. It won't enter "Final Polish" until the last 2-3 months of beta.

arakouftaian5771d ago

i will buy bouth the same day but well, i hope they give us a online beta at lease

Go to Gametrailers.com and watch all the extended trailers from the Geoff Keighley interviews with the 3 companies.

My god, I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw that! Gametrailers and GTTV, were putting the heat on!

Reggie and John got grilled! HAhaha I couldnt stop laughing lmao. Look at the way Reggie was spinning his way out of those questions, it was HEAT ON lmao. And that old pervert from MS was getting OWNED hahaha.

Jack tretton interview was down to earth and cool though; PS3 RULESSSS. PS3 winning the hearts and minds of folk around the world.
People are slowly realizing what the PS3 is all about: true value for your money.

Keep it up yall.

iGrenade5770d ago

Sony didn't want both of their guns shooting eachother down in Fall of this year, so they went ahead and pushed KZ2 back to Feb'09 so they could polish it more.

@Veryangryxbot
Haha, yeah Keighley was really pushing Reggie on that one, and that M$ guy too. The talk with Jack was all relaxed, you could see that Keighley was excited about what the future holds for the PS3.

NegativeCreep4275770d ago

Sony's biggest FPS for 2008 is Resistance 2. Sony's biggest FPS for AT LEAST the first half of 2009 is Killzone 2.

mightydog015771d ago

This game going to be bloody awesome.......and the multiplayer just iceing on the cake "sweet"

beoulve5771d ago

I hope they did right, I got original Killzone, it's good game but felt a bit rush. This time they should really take their time and SUPER POLISHED it.

DarkBlade5771d ago

I want the game to come out in Jan. of 09 because feb. is too far away. Also final polish doesn't seem right since they are near of ending Alpha stage of the game.

SUP3R5770d ago

U want it in Jan because Feb is too far away from Jan?...huh????
Can you take a pic of the calendar you follow and post it here for us?

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-ro61d ago

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

darthv7261d 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_61d ago

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

Cacabunga61d ago

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

Profchaos61d ago (Edited 61d 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

seanpitt2361d 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!

Iceball200062d ago

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

Father__Merrin62d ago

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

InUrFoxHole61d ago

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

Marcus Fenix62d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198961d ago

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

1Victor62d ago (Edited 61d 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 😱

Michiel198961d 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.

1Victor366d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar366d ago

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

jznrpg365d ago

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

badz149365d 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!

Vengeance1138366d 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 Kim366d ago

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

VersusDMC366d 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?

Vengeance1138366d ago

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

solideagle365d 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.

Phoenix76365d 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

REDGUM365d ago

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

thesoftware730366d ago (Edited 366d 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.

blacktiger365d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca366d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy366d ago (Edited 366d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal365d ago

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

Imalwaysright365d 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.

shinoff2183737d 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

badz149737d 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.
