Rank Up During Extra XP Weekend!
24-jul-2009 - by Seb 'Motherh' Downie
Category: Nieuws

Hey all! It has been an exciting week at Guerrilla Games with the release of the third DLC map pack 'Napalm & Cordite', the release of patch 1.29, the latest update to Killzone.com, the announcement of the 'Map Pack Bundle' and the opening of 'Our World', an art exhibition here in the Netherlands based around the visually creative process of making the Killzone 2 universe and those that inhabit it.

So to celebrate all this we have decided to give back to the folks who have supported us through thick and thin since the release of Killzone 2: You. The most attractive and charismatic fans any video game can have. (Yes, flattery won't get me anywhere.)

And what better way to thank ones loyal fans than with POINTS!This weekend from Friday at 17:30 GMT till Monday morning at 09:00, any games created will give extra XP points to let you guys rank up quicker and unlock those Badges and climb up the Leaderboard.

That way you get more buck for your bang, more meat on your sandwich, more points for your prizes, more sauce on your fries, more... Okay, I think you get it.

A win will earn you a 2.5 multiplier and a loss will still grant you the normal multiplier for a Win: 1.5. This applies only to individual points (not Clan Valor) and will be available in all regions during this time.

We hope Killzone 2 newcomers and veterans alike will take part in this celebration and keep an eye out for people with [GG] in front of their handles. We'll be rocking the new DLC this weekend too!

sunnygrg5394d ago

Just what I needed for the Valor trophies :)

Blow Out Your Brains5394d ago

These developers created an amazing FPS and showed incredible support for their fans since its release. Take a break GG, you've earned it.

Kleptic5394d ago

the new DLC is great so far...the flamethrower is a little annoying, as once you are set on fire...you are guaranteed to be killed...but the bolt gun is hilarious...throwing enemies across the map is completely awesome...

kind of lame maps though for this one...they seem to be lifted more or less right out of the single player (the arc tower map is at a different time of day though)...and they are small...again...I was hoping for at least one round of HUGE maps...like market or rise...but no DLC has had that, they've all been relatively smaller...

ToastyMcNibbles5394d ago

southern hills is a pretty big map but the rest are medium sized..i really like these new maps though they're really good for just bodycount matches...the map designers should get a gold star or something because i think all the map design in multiplayer is just amazing

JBaby3435394d ago

Southern Hills is the only one that is decent size. I was a little disappointed by the others though Beach Head is still great fun like the first Killzone. The Napalm and Cordite Maps leave little room for sniping which was a disappointment for me. I wish more people would download the new maps (all the new maps) because there is a lack of games a lot of times.

QuackPot5394d ago (Edited 5394d ago )

...depending on how badly your are burnt, you just need to take cover and wait for flames to burn out.

Don't do what I did initially by running around setting my team mates on fire and getting shot.

And we need extra extra XP weekends with the ridiculous amount of points you need for the last rank. I mean going from 10,000 to 100,000 WTF.

Maddens Raiders5394d ago (Edited 5394d ago )

Indeed, Jbaby. I am a KILLZONE 1 vet and just recently found enough time from my super busy work schedule to beat the game on VET and buy all the dlc as I *always will. Being able to play in a next gen Beach Head and Southern Hills for anyone who played a lot of KZ1 online will know - gave me goose bumps....now if only they'll add the PARK and the CORE????? hmmm.... I love KILLZONE

Anyone who has the new maps wants to get down...you know the name. Just add me.

andron5394d ago

I was anyways. I'm not buying two and tow maps, and if the bundle hadn't come I would have passed. But now all is good...

JBaby3435394d ago

Get some old school Southern Hills and Beach Head play with a new school look.

EVERYONE is after those new weapons, total chaos. Plus after playing Battlefield 1943 for so long, it's hard to get back into killzone with it's controls. Gonna take awhile to get back in the swing of things again.

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-ro53d ago

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

darthv7253d 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_53d ago

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

Cacabunga53d ago

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

Profchaos53d ago (Edited 53d 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

seanpitt2353d 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!

Iceball200053d ago

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

Father__Merrin53d ago

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

InUrFoxHole53d ago

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

Marcus Fenix53d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198953d ago

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

1Victor53d ago (Edited 53d 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 😱

Michiel198953d ago

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

SullysCigar357d ago

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

1Victor357d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar357d ago

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

jznrpg357d ago

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

badz149357d 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!

Vengeance1138357d 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 Kim357d ago

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

VersusDMC357d 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?

Vengeance1138357d ago

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

solideagle357d 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.

Phoenix76357d 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

REDGUM357d ago

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

thesoftware730357d ago (Edited 357d 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.

blacktiger357d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca357d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy357d ago (Edited 357d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal357d ago

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

Imalwaysright357d 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."

shinoff2183729d ago

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

shinoff2183729d 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

badz149729d 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.
