E3 07: Killzone 2 Believe the hype.

Perhaps more than any other game at this point, Killzone 2 has been built up in the minds of Sony-watchers as the lynchpin of the PS3's success. This is almost entirely thanks to the infamous, stunning trailer that was shown during Sony's 2005 E3 press conference, which wowed fans senseless until they found it was just a pre-rendered video of what its developers thought it might look like.Now that GamesRadar seen it played, however, no amount of Sony spin can hide the truth. And the truth is that Sony wasn't lying: Killzone 2, the game, looks shockingly close to Killzone 2, the trailer. And while it doesn't have quite the same level of polish, it makes up for it by being even crazier and bloodier than the early, imaginary look implied.

but still callofduty4 is the only game that is on par with killzone and killzone is in its pre alpha

TheFartMart6159d ago

If you look closely COD looks like an Atari game when compared to KZ2!!!

JsonHenry6159d ago

Lol, the game STILL does not look as good as say... Gears or Mass Effect. (but it is pre-alpha)

But it does look better than what I expected since everything else from Sony so far has been somewhat less detailed on the PS3 compared to the competition.

hazeblaze6159d ago

Actualy after watching the vids, this game looks better than both Gears & Mass Effect during the gameplay portions. The only parts of Mass Effect that look better are the conversational cut scenes.

masterg6159d ago

@JsonHenry

It's one thing to say Gears look better.
Gears is a beautiful game, and it's the best out to date.
I still say that this pre-alpha looks a nice bit better.

But to say Mass Effect looks better is simply a joke. Mass Effect doesn't even come close.

radzy6159d ago

we got gears of war 2 coming in the same year and killzone 2 looks like fear. meh

sony fan6158d ago

I dont care it is the ugliest game this year, and is clearly inferior to xbox games that came out a year ago. I don't care that I used to make fun of xbots for FPS being all thay had, we PS fans need to rally behind something, anything, no matter how generic and ugly it is. I say it is the best game in the world, eat that MS fans.

rubarb236158d ago

I have never seen so much people hyped up for a sequel to a piece of rat sh!t game. wasn't killzone labled as a "halo killer"? yeah well look how crap that game was. compare the reviews asswhipes!
now i'll admit, killzone 2 does look good and that's about it. If you remember when killzone was shown, it did have better graphics than halo (sorry but halo's graphics have never been great, just average). In the end look how killzone turned out - crap, halo 2....well even you c0ck smokers know how that turned out. so here we are again, killzone 2 looking nice (sony fanboys stick'n their d!cks into one another all excited) - let's see how it turns out when it comes out. then lets compare our halo 3 vs your killzone.

Halo -> proven franchise
Killzone -> ? still trying

SimmoUK6159d ago

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-ro73d ago

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

darthv7273d 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_73d ago

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

Cacabunga73d ago

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

Profchaos73d ago (Edited 73d 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

seanpitt2373d 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?!

jznrpg377d 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

REDGUM377d 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.

blacktiger377d 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.

potatoseal377d ago

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

Imalwaysright377d 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."

shinoff2183749d ago

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

shinoff2183749d 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.
