Guerrilla Games Not Done with the PS3

"Halo started it all for console first person shooters as we know them, and until Call of Duty 4 came along, it was pretty much unopposed. One failed attempt to take the crown was the original Killzone, which received a poor response from gamers everywhere. Killzone 2 launched on the PlayStation 3 earlier this year in February and has gone up against the juggernauts of the FPS genre. TheGamerAccess.com was hungry for more information on Killzone 2 and the future plans of Guerrilla Games so they were nice enough to answer many of our questions."

What do you guys think Guerilla Games is going to do with the PlayStation 3? Create a new Killzone, or come up with a new franchise?

PirateThom5401d ago

The way Killzone 2 ended, I'm itching for the story to continue. However, I really would like to see them try something else.

xenogamer215401d ago

i want to see their engine do something else. And i wasnt a big fan of the generic storyline of K2. Just imagine a sandbox RPG with killzone 2 graphics kinda like The Elder Scrolls?? That would be awesome. Hoping for a new IP GG.

NS5401d ago

Yeah. There are so many games out there with stories about mutated humans space colonies.

RememberThe3575401d ago

a new IP or Killzone 3. I just hope they focus more on story telling next time. Killzone 2's story was pretty damn good but wasn't really told as much as Killzone's story was.

xenogamer215401d ago

i didnt say the PREMICE was generic, just the story. There is a difference, its just my opinion, just want something new.

raztad5401d ago

Kz2 story is not generic. In fact is well told and with very interesting twists.

Dont forget KZ universe story has been unfolding since Kz1.

StanLee5401d ago

Oh God, not another generic shooter! And before some fanboy screams I don't own the game just say the word and I'll take a damn pic with my screen name and time and upload it. After the other day I'm sick and tired of butt hurt fanboys acting like asses anytime a criticism is leveled at a PS3 game!

Trollimite5401d ago (Edited 5401d ago )

halo didnt start anything! medal of honor and the original cod's did all the work.

i understand that everyone likes halo, but give credit where credit is due!

i think that he just cant resist bringing up killzone without mentoning halo.

NS5401d ago

I read and watch alot of early 20th century history. GG used it as an inspiration for their KZ Universe which is why i find it very interesting. The Helgan Invasion is just a short burst of the overall story. People forget this.

Pardon my english.

Blaze9295401d ago

Can you read? "for console first person shooters"

cayal5401d ago

All FPS shooters have a generic storyline.

War.
Bad guys.
Good guys.
Kill the leader.

Rinse and repeat.

ultimolu5401d ago

I would love to see a new franchise but I'm up for some Killzone 3. :P

StanLee5401d ago

Not just the same generic story but the same generic character stereotypes and set pieces. I'm so waiting for another FPS to offer something more this gen the way Bioshock did. FPS has been the most overrated genre this gen with inflated review scores.

Tony P5401d ago

Since I don't really play shooters anymore, of course I hope they'll show us what they can do in another genre.

I love RPGs, but I don't think that's likely. Does GG have any RPG experience? If not, I doubt they'd risk a genre they possibly have no clue about. So I expect a KZ3 or a 3PS. It's all good.

Fencefry5401d ago

If you read into the KZ universe, you'll see there are no clearly defined good guys/bad guys. Visari has just manipulated the Helghast.

QSPR5401d ago

you guys are crazy,not halo,not call of duty,not medal of honor,duke nuken,doom and rainbow six,those was the first games

MEsoJD5401d ago

and I'm sure we'll be seeing games within Sony's first party use the KIllZONE Engine.

Can you imagine the games coming out of that engine. DAMN

N4GAddict5401d ago

I hope they start a new franchise and then switch between it and killzone.

cayal5401d ago

"If you read into the KZ universe, you'll see there are no clearly defined good guys/bad guys. Visari has just manipulated the Helghast."

I haven't but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

As for good guys and bad guys...both sides of war are a good/bad guy in the eyes of some. You just always play the 'good guy' in games.

That'd be something new. Play as Nazi's in a WW2 shooter. Play as the Helghast in Killzone 3 (which could lead to your point above about Visari's manipulation).

evrfighter5401d ago

wait killwhat?

OHHHH

that one fps that came out earlier this year....wow that's so 1943...

ObviousTruth5401d ago

they made ONE game for this generation and they aren't done?!? my mind is officially blown!

Gantrfaxx5401d ago

I'm hoping for Killzone 3. Killzone is a huge IP, Guerrilla shouldn't switch to another one, not yet. Besides it would be really awesome to play as a Helghast in Kz3 singleplayer campaign, after all the ISA are really the bad guys.

badz1495401d ago

there are 3 games that come to mind when talking about GG and that's KZ(PS2), KZ Liberation(PSP) and KZ2(PS3)! why are people expecting them to try a different thing already? that just shows how crowded the FPS market at the moment but to come out with KZ2 which was touted as impossible on this generation of consoles is an achievement for GG and a lot of people seem to neglect that, which is SAD! Bungie did 3 Halos and then parted from M$ but will still come out with not 1 but 2 halos! SE have been doing RPG since what, 15 year? or may be more, I don't know but why none complaining? I would like GG to just concentrating on KZ3 for now and make it an even epic FPS than KZ2! GO GG!!

Syronicus5401d ago

All I know is that anything they do will be awesome. Killzone 2 was and is still one of the best games I have played on years. If they continue the series then I will be titillated and if they create a whole new IP, then too will I be titillated.

Karum5401d ago

Yeah man the Killzone story is pretty deep and interesting, reading the lore on the website always made me wonder if it was the ISA who were really the bad guys and the Helghast the victims, pushed too far and the war being the result of that.

Kornholic5401d ago

Pretty good except that it's quite unclear who are the good guys and bad guys in the Killzone universe.

ZOMBIEMAN15401d ago

actually it's 4 there first and only multiplatform game Shellshock for PS2 & Xbox and Killzone series .
@ Karum well i haven't played Killzone 2 but Helghast are like germany before WW2 during poverty they were bullied by the other countries because of WW1 and during there darkest days they choose Hitler to lead em out of darkness which is what the Helghast are and Visari is Hitler

BWS19825400d ago

"Halo started it all for console first person shooters as we know them..."

Um, no. Switch GoldenEye with Halo, you fanboy author.

I'm eager to see whatever they do, KZ based or not, they're too talented to stop now.

DaTruth5400d ago

The ISA are the bad guys! The Helghast have massive energy reserves and the ISA want them. It is a shot at America. The American citizens still believe they are the good guys while they've been running around the world reeking havoc for 50 years for their "Interests".

Even after they find out Bush and Cheney created a secret CIA counter terrorism program they hid from congress 'BEFORE' 911(sleep on the job much). How long has 911 truth been saying the CIA perpetrated 911.

i think killzone 3 is going to take it to the next level
i mean transport online
coop upto 10 players
perks
and more

and now mag has 256 players online
i think we will see killzone 3 push online to the next level
im not saying 256 maybe a long side 50 vs 50

theEnemy5401d ago

Killzone 3 would probably be better than KZ2, but as much as I want another Killzone, I would rather wish they would make a new game.

A non-shooter game with or better Killzone 2 graphics = badass.

;)

SuperM5401d ago

Killzone 3 50 vs 50? Ehm no thx.

There is no way they will even try get that many people online in killzone 3 because it simply doesnt fit the gameplay. Also im sure Guerrilla will focus on getting even better graphics. If they put in 50 vs 50 they will have to downgrade the graphics instead of increasing them

Nick2120045401d ago

At least this interview ends the discussion of a party system coming to Killzone 2. That is my #1 complaint with Killzone 2 because the online experience is amazing, but it can be a pain to get into a game with friends.

wu-stix5400d ago

I just started playing killzone again yesterday (last time played was march) and I forgot how much I liked that game. There are things like the party system that sucks but I did see that they extended the ranks so now there are 3 more levels above general. I would also like to see some co-op a la R2 added.

Honda045401d ago

I hope they do make another killzone for PS3 and they probably will. But do they have other games coming to PS3 to bad they couldn't answer.

Nick2120045401d ago

Unfortuneatly, that is how it works. Game developers and publishers do not like to talk about their products too much ahead of time.

Wut? 10 player co-op in KZ3? They couldn't even manage to get 2 player co-op with KZ2!

clixx335401d ago

They didn't get 2 player co-op with Killzone 2 because with such beautiful graphics and gameplay that a huge map from Killzone has, adding in another player would just kill that amazingness. So before you comment so stupidly with your fanboyism, please take a moment to actually play the game or at least please think before you speak. And yes, I do realize none of this will get processed by him and he will just resort to another lame fanboy comment.

TheColbertinator5401d ago

MART does play Killzone 2 you numbskull.He even hosted a KZ match and I played with him on Salamun Market

rucky5401d ago (Edited 5401d ago )

And hows GeOW2's maximum 5v5 (broken)online multiplayer? Pretty revolutionary for a game that's supposedly the best game on that console. Oh yeah running on Unreal engine too.

goflyakite5401d ago

Regardless, mart is still an idiot.

He doesn't know the difference between the developers not wanting to put co-op in and not being able to put co-op in.

Gue15401d ago

Why is Colbot defending the Mart? LoL

Is this a new Bot organization or something? =D

Defectiv3_Detectiv35401d ago

I just hope they tone down the amount of players and focus on the gameplay in the MP. Too many players really lagged the servers in this game.

I thought KZ2 had a good SP campaign, it just took a while to get going, but especially the last boss fight. I don't care who you are, play that mission on the hardest mode and you will get your ass handed to you.

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.

OtterX51d ago (Edited 51d 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-ro50d ago

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

darthv7250d 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_50d ago

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

Cacabunga50d ago

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

Profchaos50d ago (Edited 50d 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

seanpitt2350d 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!

Iceball200051d ago

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

Father__Merrin51d ago

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

InUrFoxHole51d ago

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

Marcus Fenix51d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198950d ago

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

1Victor51d ago (Edited 51d 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 😱

Michiel198950d 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.

1Victor355d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar355d ago

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

jznrpg354d ago

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

badz149354d 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!

Vengeance1138355d 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 Kim355d ago

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

VersusDMC355d 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?

Vengeance1138355d ago

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

solideagle354d 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.

Phoenix76354d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

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.

blacktiger354d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca355d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal354d ago

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

Imalwaysright354d 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."

shinoff2183726d ago

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

shinoff2183726d 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

badz149726d 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.
