The last Killzone game was released back in 2013 as a launch title for the PS4. Since then developer Guerrilla Games has gone on to develop their most acclaimed title in the form of Horizon Zero Dawn. However, now that Guerrilla Games has expanded their studio in an effort to cultivate their portfolio of games with earlier launch windows, it now seems like a good time for the studio the re-visit their famed shooter series.
In a town hall that took place on Monday, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu reportedly confirmed imminent layoffs in the U.S. and Europe.
What did NA and EU did anyways? Just translate or something? I would say it might help them get back to there roots but DK.
The gaming world is still reeling from the announcement that Microsoft is shuttering Tango Gameworks, the studio behind last year’s big Xbox hit, Hi-Fi Rush.
There's no logical or good reason to give for closing Tango Gameworks. They make great games consistently and Hi-Fi Rush was the highest rated Xbox game in literal YEARS. Closing the studio was just plain stupid and nonsensical.
It’s quite strange to not see Phil Spencer in any talkshow or podcast… usually the dude would talk almost daily when there’s even a bit of news from xbox.
Perhaps they think they can sweep this one under the rug, gamers will forget about it,
We will not
They made a good game and you put the whole studio in the bin, this couldn’t be clearer, ms don’t care, everyone suspected it, but now we KNOW it
She's kinda got the verbal communication of 3-years-ago Biden trying to say something he knows nothing about.
What she meant to say is: "We wasted our budget for the next couple years buying Call of Duty, and we're moving all our chips to that one series"
It's starting to seem quite obvious that XBox is going to be shutting down most of their studios or selling them off, then focusing on some sort of PC/Console hybrid OS for the next XBox where they can collect royalties Valve style.
Square Enix is shifting its strategy to aggressively pursue multiplatform releases and focus on quality over quantity.
Yup, it's official. FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth didn't sell as much as they expected.
Hopefully the next Nintendo system isn't a potato and it can contribute to FF sales in future as well, in addition to PC releases. If this ensures the long term health for SE and franchises than like FF and KH then I'm all for it.
Please tell me the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is still coming. I feel like I've been waiting forever for that game.
Another sign that dedicated consoles market is in trouble, while PC seems more and more attractive to big publishers.
Having a good gaming PC and a PS5 myself, given current trend form both Sony and MS I am less and less playing on PS5, waiting for exclusives to release on PC, so I understand the logic behind the new strategy.
No reboot just make Killzone Shadowfall as a spin off and continue the story from Killzone 3.
Yeah. It's for the best.
They tried to continue the series after Killzone 3 with Shadowfall and it just didn't do anything for me. I felt when you get endings such as the one saw in Killzone 3 you close it off in a way where another one to provoke another war just feels forced, same happened with Gears of War 4 in my opinion.
They are better off waiting until the PS5 and rebooting it. They can still use the same lore, characters (if they want) and rich backstory but do it in a way where instead of building all this lore outside of the games or hidden behind in game logs/files they do it within the story. Craft a game where we see the fight start out near the start, like the first Helghast assault or something.
Like I've said what I'd like to see them do is rework the story so you see the Helghast attack Vekta or even Earth first, you play as an everyday man in a typical American "white picket fence" looking suburban town, maybe with a family or just a wife who has to survive the first Helghast assault on their peaceful community. He could be an ex soldier or police man who uses his now rusty skills to fight back but if they give it a Horizon Zero Dawn touch and make it open world like with RPG elements then you can upgrade his abilities so it looks like he's slowly learning and getting better surviving during the story. Obviously it can still be first person, don't want to change it too much
They need to move away from the generic bald/shaven head marine soldier in a squad fighting off aliens in a onslaught shooting level. Spice it up abit or it's just going to feel samey. Keep the core roots in tact but don't change it too much where it's not Killzone anymore. It's hard I know but Sony Santa Monica pulled it off with God of War with it's change. Do a God of War not a Tomb Raider.
GG should first do a Remaster Bundle of the first 3, and then work on rebooting the franchise for the PS5. That's the best way to go imho.
I don’t know if they need total reboot but at least a continuation, yes. Plenty of people want it , it doesn’t even have to be Guerilla developing it, Sony has plenty of studios that could handle it
