Neocrisis: Killzone 2 logo inspired by Bungie?

Neocrisis: A few days ago we reported that Norwegian postal service seems to have copied the Killzone 2 logo. However it was come to our attention that Killzone 2 may have gotten inspiration from Bungie. The original logo was published in 1997, many years before Killzone 2 was even in development. The logo originated in Bungie First Person Shooter, Marathon, which was a Doom clone. Press Here to see the source. We need to thank site member slasp for this information.

Well quite frankly i think it was more inspired by the death star

MaxXAttaxX5656d ago

Does it even matter if it looks like anything else? Even though it's different.
What the f*** is a "bungie" anyways... and yes, it does look like the Death Star, we'll go with that.

Come on, is this pathetic or what?

Motion5655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

I left a comment saying this as a joke on the first article they put out...It's sad someone actually made a new article about it...

SWORDF1SH5655d ago

lol you beat them to it. anyway im sure we all could finds thousands of logos that are similar to other logos. this isnt news worthy. lame story like the first. the only thing the article is good for is to make a joke of it.

Mozilla895655d ago

I suppose any circular logos are now copied off Marathon?

This site is starving for hits.

GiantEnemyCrab5656d ago

haha they just inverted the colors and flipped it on it's side. lame

xhi45656d ago

They previously said the OPTIONAL CLAN LOGO was copied from the Norwegian postal service

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

to get hits they made it sound as if the ACTUAL killzone 2 logo was in question, in fact meerly the ONE OF MANY CLAN LOGO's were in question.

The same is here........they are even talking about the SAME OPTIONAL CLAN LOGO...........and trying to get MORE hits.

so sad when the ONLY thing you can do to take away from such a magnificent game is an OPTIONAL CLAN LOGO.......ridiculous.

Cenobia5656d ago

Seriously? You really believe they ripped it off?

It's one of the most simplistic logos ever. Plus it looks more like a pokeball than anything else. It could have been inspired by any number of things.

I really don't think Halo had anything to do with it. I could believe the death star had something to do with it (ISA had a defense satellite in the 1st game, so it could be some weird tip of the hat), but I really don't think Guerilla would look to rip anything off of Halo.

GWAVE5656d ago

Eh, it's pretty dang hard to "copy" Bungie when they don't really have anything original of their own to offer. That's just common sense.

And as far as the logo goes.....really? I don't see any resemblance. This is like that LBP article last week that claimed Sony "copied" a user's costume idea simply because both costumes used a shark in it. Lame. I might as well claim that Halo 3 copied the bubble shield from Resistance: Fall of Man.

MerkinMax5656d ago

If anything Killzone 2 should be taking notes, not copying.

Carbide75656d ago

If you look clearly at the ISA logo, it resembles a black and white pokéball

silverchode5656d ago

make an article saying kz2 copied pokemon :)

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-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

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

badz149377d 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.
