Ve3tro: Killzone 2: Beta Nine Leaked screens Uh Oh..

Not even twenty-four hours after Europeans receiving the public codes for the Killzone 2 beta, pictures and videos are surfacing across forums and video hosting sites. Judging by these leaked sources Killzone 2 is going to be one beautiful game.

SickNick855675d ago

OMG!!!! i can't see nothing like this

Fox015675d ago

OMG I can't wait to play this game on my Super Nintendo.

Seriously though, this is my number one game for early 2009, followed by Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil. Can't wait!

memots5675d ago (Edited 5675d ago )

I'm in the Beta and its Fn awesome.

Visually it beats every FPS out there. Control still need to get a little tighter but overall i extremely impress.

I'm out gonna go kill some nsa punk. :P

cyax5675d ago

I'm really excited about the future possibilities of the Killzone 2 engine. I'm hoping it can be some kind of UT3 engine equivalent for the PS3. With the extensive development time of KZ2 it would help Sony earn back some of the costs if they can use it amongst its 1st party development teams.

Giving the PS3 such a powerful engine would take away some of the negative comments about the PS3 being hard to develop for. Though I suppose it's still not a solution for lazy 3rd party developers making multiplat titles since the engine probably won't work well on non-Cell architecture.

And with the groundwork already done we won't have to wait as long for KZ3 :)

Kleptic5674d ago

God of War 3 is rumored to be using a lot of killzone 2's engine assets...

yeah I got into the beta yesterday...any concerns anyone has about 'is it fun' will be perfectly fine...if you like shooters that blend arcade and tactical components...this will be the pinnacle of that...and if you like class based multiplayer shooters, it will also set the standard in that area too...

this game will top even MGS4 I bet...If I knew nothing of the game, and nothing of the system playing it...and someone told me 'this is a launch title for the PS4'...I would believe them...

Cynical-Gamerzus5674d ago

THis is Sony's baby hope this pays off and delivers!!!
All I can say about this game is WOW!!!
looking at the Trailers is breath taking and Mid boggling!! and this is a first Gen Title!!!!

The dev time alone tells you how much is required to put in to get the Cell and RSX to fire off properly ,The effects and the wolrd is second to none!!!
Dont even compare this to shhshty Low def COD4 and Halo3 PC technology..
DOnt even go there friends..
This is True Engineering at its most advanced!!
ANd if GOD of War is using this technology I am so Excited For SOny!!

Fishy Fingers5675d ago (Edited 5675d ago )

Look's great and these are off screen right? Where in hell is my beta code Sony?!

thor5675d ago

Fishy whilst I agree that the screens look great, having a screen in a lower res/off-screen etc. actually covers up artifacts, low-res textures and such so that it looks BETTER than an HD screen grab.

This is a common misconception and I often see people make comments like "it looks great even though it's crappy quality" - well of course, that's going to cover up any graphical flaws.

theEnemy5675d ago

I wonder what will those people say when they see the final build of Killzone 2.

They're talking crap things like KZ2 is aiming too high when it's trailer is first showed in E3. And now GG managed to surpassed it even more!

ActionBastard5675d ago

When you get it Fishy shoot me an add- PSN: SuMizzle. I'd dig playing a game or two with any of ya. Anyways, it is absolutely, without a doubt, THE best looking console game I have ever had the pleasure of playing. The levels are gorgeous, well designed, multiple paths and LARGE. I have yet to have any issues while playing. Only trying to connect...twice.

jtucker785674d ago

I want to know how the Beta only comes to half a gig!
Look at those high res textures. They're amazing.
The Bioshock demo was nearly 2gig and this is only 500Mg or so.

Is the beta just much smaller do you think? (I don't know I'm not in it) Or are the maps quite small?

Kleptic5674d ago

thor...I see what you are saying, but after playing the beta for a few hours...I assure you...'graphical flaws' are something that Killzone 2 simply doesn't know how to perform...

remember those ridiculously good looking grabs of the 'insane ground textures' from PSU a few weeks ago?...yeah...there are refractive puddles on the ground everywhere...and the water is animated...I spent an hour today looking for a single goofed up texture...or a missing shadow...or anything...I couldn't find anything...the AA is great...the textures are better than anyone realizes (save those in the beta...EVERYTHING is normal mapped, almost everything reflects realistically, and EVERYTHING reacts to the muzzle flare of your weapon flawlessly)...

there are glitches, don't get me wrong...just can't find any graphical problems yet...and i've been looking hard...the beta forum narrowed down the graphical problems to a sandbag bunker on one level that doesn't react quite right to the lighting...I haven't seen it though...

DeforMAKulizer5675d ago

The game is actually better than in the screens hehe!
Can't believe how freaking awesome it is!!!!!! =D
What astonishes me is that the beta is only 459 MB!

Kleptic5674d ago

yeah tiny little super compressed thing...its only 3 maps though, and 2 game modes...all the textures are compressed though according to GG, and they still look crazy...I don't know what is going to happen when we see the uncompressed stuff streamed of the blu ray release...

Daz5675d ago

Is the public beta in europe because i cant find it on psn?

does anyone know ?

Kleptic5674d ago

its still an invite only affair...check your email account linked to your PSN (whatever email address you used to create your account)...there was a random lottery of keys fired off to PSN users...that is where you will find it...if you didn't receive an 'accepted' message, you didn't get in...

if you do get however, there are instructions on how to download the beta...

ZmokeR5675d ago

@ Daz : you have to be invited (if you were in closed beta you get a mail),,, i belive it is that way.

Second:

LOOOLLL @ at you guys! (nott in a bad way :D!)
Yes those are ingame screens AND YES that is from the beta!
I was in closed beta, but my ps3 broke down =( (My little brother pushed it down in the floor :X)so i dont get it back now in 1-2weeks :(

But 4 you guys playing open beta for the first time..
I am happy 4 you =)
Have a fun time now! And what you think about it?
I remember the first time it loaded up the first map.
I was like .. OOOMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! hahahah

Daz5675d ago (Edited 5675d ago )

thx for the help. :)
Sucks i havent got a key. who do i have to kill to get one :P

cellypower5675d ago

The beta is awesome!- This is going to move me from COD4

MidnightProwler5675d ago

Your little bro deserves to be choked slammed. :P

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.

OtterX74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

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-ro74d ago

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

darthv7274d 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_74d ago

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

Cacabunga74d ago

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

Profchaos74d ago (Edited 74d 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

seanpitt2374d 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!

Iceball200074d ago

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

Father__Merrin74d ago

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

InUrFoxHole74d ago

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

Marcus Fenix74d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198974d ago

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

1Victor74d ago (Edited 74d 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 😱

Michiel198974d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar378d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor378d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar378d ago

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

jznrpg378d ago

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

badz149378d 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!

Vengeance1138378d 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 Kim378d ago

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

VersusDMC378d 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?

Vengeance1138378d ago

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

solideagle378d 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.

Phoenix76378d 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

REDGUM378d ago

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

thesoftware730378d ago (Edited 378d 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.

blacktiger378d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca378d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal378d ago

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

Imalwaysright378d 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."

shinoff2183750d ago

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

shinoff2183750d 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

badz149749d 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.
