The french LOVE Killzone, i'm always seeing them online.
Not sure why it's not loved as much elsewhere.

NewMonday4819d ago

Why did EA release Bullitstorm in the same day? Same thing with NFS releasing same time as GT5. Forcing gamers who are interested in both games to chose.

I expected something stupid like that from publishers like Namco who released Enslaved the same day as Castilvania, I thought EA were smarter than that.

sikbeta4819d ago

I'm not a FPS guy, I love KZ2 and its dark atmosphere, something most FPS veterans didn't like about the game, but man, KZ3 and those levels are beast!

AAACE54818d ago

Indeed the world loves Killzone 3 and the sales will prove it!

hennessey864819d ago

though not all the french pussied out, some of them were very brave and atleast tried

Solid Wolf4818d ago

Well when the Nazis invaded they were at great disadvantage since their army was crap.
The 20th century wasn't such a good century for France.
-WW2
-1st Indochina War
-Algerian Revolution
You get the picture.

Solid Wolf4818d ago

Asia LOVES Killzone 3......FACT! But I haven't bought it yet though lol. Oh but most of us just go on BO or BFBC2. :P

Chromer4819d ago

A great game deserves great sales around the world. Heh. I just made a Daft Punk reference in a French news story! :D

LoaMcLoa4819d ago

ManiacMansion4819d ago

Baka-akaB4819d ago

Hardly shabby .

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account333d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan341d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar341d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan341d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal341d ago (Edited 341d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g341d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya340d ago (Edited 340d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic340d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

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

1Victor372d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar372d ago

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

jznrpg372d ago

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

badz149372d 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!

Vengeance1138372d 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 Kim372d ago

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

VersusDMC372d 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?

Vengeance1138372d ago

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

solideagle372d 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.

Phoenix76372d 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

REDGUM372d ago

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

thesoftware730372d ago (Edited 372d 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.

blacktiger372d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca372d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal372d ago

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

Imalwaysright372d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
