What does Horizon Zero Dawn's success mean for the future of Killzone?
The first Killzone game never met lofty expectations of dethroning Xbox’s Halo, but if any game needs a PS5 remake, this is the one.
I like Halo, but I don't think there is any need for a 'Halo Killer' at this point. If anything, the franchise is slowly undermining itself by making some of the dumbest mistakes possible. Infinite has finally reached a good point in terms of multiplayer, but it took an extra 2 years to get there. Meanwhile, the single-player experience is fine but rather mediocre when compared to the franchise peak.
That said, I would like to see the Killzone franchise back, if anything, to offer more variety to the PS5 exclusive catalog.
I'd love a killzone trilogy, fully remastered on a single disc like they did with Uncharted. Maybe they could make it the full killzone saga including PSP and Vita games converted to console.
I've never liked the idea of a 'franchise killer', why can't both thrive, without one killing off the other? Its such a childish mentality.
That being said, if there ever was a true 'Halo killer', then it would have to be 343 Studios, and the Xbox division. They're doing a fine job killing off their own IP, apparently.
Halo doesn't need to be killed, they've done that themselves. It's a shell of its former self.
With the details we now have in terms of features and pricing, I don't think there are any significant concerns remaining - just that perhaps that the term 'remastered' in the title is a little misplaced. Essentially, what we're dealing with here is broadly equivalent to a release along the lines of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It's the original game with a dash of extra content and additional visual modes that tap into the power of PlayStation 5.
Bloodborne, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Puppeteer, Jak and Daxter etc are all better choices
Even a full on remake of Drakes Fortune I’d take
Well I want a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster especially if it's an upgrade to Forbidden West Graphics and Animation.
Nope. But HD remasters are an easy cash grab that the masses shovel cash for because while they complain about remakes, they still buy them
My thoughts on this is do we need Richard Leadbetter's or Digital Foundry's opinion on anything........ever? I know I don't they do nothing for me and never have.
In the video game industry, where visual design and game mechanics typically grab the limelight, the significance of music in enhancing the overall gaming experience is often underestimated. Music can be a key component in the player’s emotional connection with a game. It amplifies emotional impact, heightens tension, and can be a powerful driver of narrative. We’ve had the chance to speak to Joris de Man, a renowned Dutch composer best known for his work on the Killzone series, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and its sequel Horizon: Forbidden West. During the Game Access conference in Brno, we talked about the process of composing music for video games and how he created the harmonies that have shaped some of our most beloved gaming experiences.
Joris seems like a great guy. I spoke to him briefly once about how much I loved his music and he was really friendly/humble.
I don't think so
I could these them do a sequel for Horizon in the next few years so say bye to Killzonr
Excuse my ignorance but does Guerrilla own the Killzone IP? Could another dev take over?
Like I've said if they want to experiment with a SPIN OFF which is third person and you get to explore a massive map on Earth dealing with a Helghan invasion as your community tries to fight back then I wouldn't mind seeing that. Maybe set in the suburbs or something.
Would change things up a bit. Long as it's a spin off and not a main game ruining it's FPS franchise roots then I don't see the problem. I just feel GG make better open world/third person games which show off more of what they can do.
No
