Killzone 2 Multiplayer Beta Impressions - Gamer 2.0

Chris Selogy of Gamer 2.0 writes:

"Guerilla Games received a bit of a present from Sony this holiday with the further delay into early 2009 for its highly-anticipated first-person shooter, a little something called Killzone 2. Because Sony wanted Resistance 2 to shine in the spotlight this fall, Guerilla was given a chance to further polish their game for its early 2009 release. We recently got a chance to see how that polish is coming along for the multiplayer portion of the game with impressions from the newest phase of the closed beta for Killzone 2."

C_SoL5659d ago

and yes I am in the beta.

Limited Edition FTW.

remanutd555659d ago

yeap i totally agree, it feels like you are in a real battle , gotta a question for you , how do you use the health pack? in medic class

AnthonyPerez5659d ago

The badges system sounds like a very interesting take on the classes, particularly the ability to mix and match two classes.

techwizz5659d ago

I'm actually really pumped for this game now. The modes, class system and all sounds great. I would like to know how the lag is on the huge 64 player matches, but considering they didn't mention it, I assume it plays without a hitch.

C_SoL5659d ago

From what I've played so far there's no lag with the exception of people having bad connections.

Fishy Fingers5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

Yes 32 player maximum. Also I believe they're running dedicated servers, so lag shouldnt be a problem unless you have a poor connection speed. Which you can avoid by checking your ping/latency when picking your chosen game from the list.

No matchmaking here. Woot!!

NDA ended today didn't it? Should be a flood of KZ2 impressions over the next few days.

AnthonyPerez5659d ago

Yeah, the embargo was lifted today so we in the press finally have the opportunity to share with the world. The question is, what else do we know that you don't...

Gammbit5659d ago

Is it sad that even after Little Big Planet, MGS, Resistance, and this are either out or on their way, I still feel no need to buy a PS3 for anything other than flow?

AmpedMan5659d ago

For those that have played the beta, is Killzone finally a "Halo killer"?

JayTee09025659d ago

I have a friend that's in the beta and he says it's a bit improvement over the original Killzone. "By leaps and bounds" were his words. I don't know if you can fairly compare the two because when I see Killzone I think of a gritty warzone. With Halo, I kind of see gravity defying jumping beans.

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-ro65d ago

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

darthv7265d 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_65d ago

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

Cacabunga64d ago

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

Profchaos64d ago (Edited 64d 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

seanpitt2364d 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!

Iceball200065d ago

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

Father__Merrin65d ago

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

InUrFoxHole65d ago

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

Marcus Fenix65d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198965d ago

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

1Victor65d ago (Edited 65d 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 😱

Michiel198965d 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.

1Victor369d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar369d ago

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

jznrpg368d ago

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

badz149368d 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!

Vengeance1138369d 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 Kim369d ago

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

VersusDMC369d 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?

Vengeance1138369d ago

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

solideagle369d 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.

Phoenix76369d 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

REDGUM368d ago

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

thesoftware730369d ago (Edited 369d 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.

blacktiger368d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca369d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal369d ago

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

Imalwaysright369d 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.

shinoff2183740d 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

badz149740d 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.
