KILLZONE 2: Friendly AI actually looks different

As if this game hasn't been analyzed ad nauseam thus far, Kills_one, an intrepid observer on the boards over at the PlayStation Underground, has been nice enough to highlight the level of detail that Guerilla has put into it's ISA AI models. We'll have to wait and see if this holds true all the way through to launch, including multiplayer sessions. But if it does, it will be a welcome change to the baldy's of the first KILLZONE.

These are the kind of details that make a great game. If they put this type of detail into other parts of the game with characters as big as Rico and Sev and the gang, we could be in for a real treat.

Thanks Chuck!

MikeGdaGod6098d ago

i'm probably one of the few people that wasn't very interested in this game when i bought my ps3 (mainly because i'm not big on FPS). but the more info that comes out on it, the more interested i am about it.

hope it lives up to expectation

heroman7116097d ago

ya after seeing killzone 1, i tot killzone 2 wont b different. after e3 i was completely shocked

reaperxciv6098d ago

needs no fixing, it must GO GOLD by December!

socomnick6098d ago

no they better not rush it if its good it will make me buy a ps3.
So till then xbox 360 on live.

CrazzyMan6098d ago

yeah, this is a real nextgen game. =)

DJ6098d ago

Making every character unique, no matter how small their role, is definitely an enormous feat in terms of content creation and data storage. If they're willing to go as far as create insects that inhabit the world, it's obvious that this game is going to be swarming with subtle details. We already saw the lightning behaving in a realistic manner when it touches anything metallic.

Hopefully they up the physic interactions even higher and try to pull of realistic rain, i.e. individual drops that merge and fall off of characters and objects, and pool on various surfaces. Then again, maybe that's something for Killzone 3.

Maddens Raiders6098d ago (Edited 6098d ago )

De Jonge and team continue to emphasize the AI difficulty and continue w/ details like this I am going to be happy. The insects and lighting are nice touches - obviously, and the individ. raindrop effect would be very nice, but I don't want too much to detract from this game or drop fr's unecessarily.

I'm sure we'll see how customizeable the characters are in the MP beta, but it won't lend anything to the actual SP AI until we can run through a campaign. I want the Normal to be hard and the Hard to be Superhuman, etc. That's the sweet point imo. =)

DJ6098d ago

The little details are important, but it's more important to focus on making the game engaging and fun. Thankfully it looks like Guerrilla is doing just that. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a 'details' department that focuses on doing those little things so that the rest of the team can stick with the bigger picture.

HeartlesskizZ6098d ago

I have not seen a girl in the videos already shown. whats going on?
we also deserve a place in killzone =(

Maddens Raiders6098d ago (Edited 6098d ago )

that's a good point. I wouldn't mind a "woman's" touch either, but remember that Luger was integral in the first KILLZONE. Of course that was predicated on her relationship with Templar (and her silenced sniper pistol kicked ass), so how this would play into the Helghan assault motif and storyline w/ Sev - Rico, et. al remains to be seen, if at all. I mean if it's simply a watered down portion of the game and storyline simply for the sake of inclusion, I'd rather they not include it.

To this point, I haven't heard about a woman being in this version, but let's not give up hope just yet.

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

badz149378d 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

badz149750d 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.
