Being the resourceful ones at the art of war, the Helghast created Sentry Bots to help out in some of the dirty work during their attack on the planet Vekta. While these machines had a role to play in the invasion, they were an overall failure in the war effort. The Helghast seemed to have scrapped them as they were absent from the Liberation portion of the series.
It would seem that the Helghast didn't completely give up on these bots. They have been remodeled and renamed for Killzone 2 as seen in the Killzone 2 E3 05 trailer, as well as the realtime Killzone 2 demo. Currently dubbed the A.T.A.C.(automated attack craft?), these bots have been revamped(see image below) to be faster and deadlier. The ISA have some rough times ahead.
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!!
I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.
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.
resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword
Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2
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
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!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.
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 😱
The first Killzone game never met lofty expectations of dethroning Xbox’s Halo, but if any game needs a PS5 remake, this is the one.
I like Halo, but I don't think there is any need for a 'Halo Killer' at this point. If anything, the franchise is slowly undermining itself by making some of the dumbest mistakes possible. Infinite has finally reached a good point in terms of multiplayer, but it took an extra 2 years to get there. Meanwhile, the single-player experience is fine but rather mediocre when compared to the franchise peak.
That said, I would like to see the Killzone franchise back, if anything, to offer more variety to the PS5 exclusive catalog.
sony should remaster all killzone games and bring back killzone multiplayer that is very similar to the style of killzone 2 multiplayer.
Halo killed itself after Halo Reach.
Killzone went a little down in quality with SF on PS4 and I wish they kept them coming..
I'd love a killzone trilogy, fully remastered on a single disc like they did with Uncharted. Maybe they could make it the full killzone saga including PSP and Vita games converted to console.
Yes please. Put me down for a copy, price irrelevant too. Loved allow those games in the franchise :)
I've never liked the idea of a 'franchise killer', why can't both thrive, without one killing off the other? Its such a childish mentality.
That being said, if there ever was a true 'Halo killer', then it would have to be 343 Studios, and the Xbox division. They're doing a fine job killing off their own IP, apparently.
@eonjay
Yeah and I still cringe super hard when IGN runs their next gen console watch segment 3 years into the consoles lifecycle we are approaching midgen likely by December and they are out there milking clicks like it's mid 2020 and were starved for information
Halo doesn't need to be killed, they've done that themselves. It's a shell of its former self.
And yet Halo is still here. Where is Killzone? Resistance? Haze? All the supposed "Halo Killers" are dead franchises 😂
"Dead" really isn't the right word for any of these franchises (except Haze). You're also calling these games dead for different reasons. oIMyersIo is saying a Halo is dead because it is not what it used to be and is saying it has gotten much worse. You are saying those franchises faded into obscurity and no one cares. I also find it funny that your first reaction is to name PlayStation franchises because you perceived their comment as a slight against Xbox. I hope you're at the very least part of their ambassador program...
Anyone that sees Killzone as dead is pretty myopic. A decade since their last Killzone, but they themselves have developed two full games since Shadow Fall. That's not many in context at all.
Resistance is a bit less clear. Insomniac is pretty tied up at the moment. Including all of their games on all platforms and ignoring Spider-Man Remastered, we're looking at 23 games since Resistance 3. That's alarmingly prolific and still no R4. My guess? In the modern era, a new Resistance is probably going to have to be a live service and Insomniac is not that studio.
I don't think it's dead though. Not at all.
Halo infinite is still the best exclusive fps and is doing great but you think it's dead lol. Its also one of the top fps games out here so i dont get where your coming from. Just because you don't play it does not mean it's dead or dying.
I liked killzone 1 & 2 and I think Sony should bring it back along with resistance cause they are in need of more variety in their first party lineup. Sony & MS are sitting on some great franchises that need a revival.
"Just because you don't play it"
And there your argument was derailed.
Through making such an assumption, you have only served to show that your response is that of a fanboy and any criticism of your beloved franchises is met with speculation in order to downplay any counter argument.
As a matter of fact, as many in team blue on this site will tell you, I often do defend Xbox just as much as I defend PS, so for you to make such a silly comment is laughable.
I have played plenty of Halo: Infinite - on Series S, Series X and PC via Steam. To say the game comes anywhere near the franchise greats such as Combat Evolved and Halo 2 is delusional. The franchise is a shell of its former self and that is a FACT.
It absolutely isn't the best fps exclusive but at this point we're arguing over preferences which is pointlessly subjective.
Where I do agree is that a Resistance comeback would be great for Sony.
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
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!
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
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?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
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.
@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
Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.
Killzone 2 better be good, it'll be such a disappointment, and not to mention waste of 40 million+ dollars, if it isn't. I know it looks as if it's gonna be undoubtedly good, but so did Heavenly Sword, and peoples' views on that were pretty mixed. It was a good game, but too short.
Go Guerilla!
Graphics don't matter as much as gameplay, if the gameplay is excellent then I will love it. However all they have done so far is hype up the graphics.
It is another corridor shooter, but if the gameplay is balanced and fun then I will buy it. I did like the first Killzone although it had alot of flaws. I do not expect this game to be a 10/10 and sell 5 million on release day lol. I exepect a solid game with great graphics, gameplay and features to keep me playing.
I did like the first game. It had it's flaws but I still thought it was creative and challenging. Seeing all these new aspects to the game makes me look forward to it even more. Halo killer...Who cares. If it's a good game, it's a good game. It doesn't have to be perfect to be as good as Halo.
while it still looks fantastic. i am getting a little worried about the gameplay. while it does look promising, the only thing thats bothering me is the speed. after looking at it for a long time, it started looking a little slow to me specifically when you 'reload' and 'shoot' (the bullets look like it takes a while to impact what you're shooting at). i could imagine when you play online if you reload slowly, that would take a lot of fun away. maybe i have to play it so i wont notice it but, i hope they speed up the 'reload' times and the speed ratio of your bullets to impact. What i like about halo is that you can shoot accross the level with the 'assault rifle' and you will hit your target at great speeds. I really do wish Killzone 2 turns out great. Dont forget about the fun guys @ Guerrilla. Just speed those elements up, keep the gameplay fun, graphics are there already and they'll have themselves a winner.
I wouldn't be worried about how this game is coming along, Sony has a very talented stable of 1st party developers, arguably the best in the industry.
I for one applaud GG for not showing their hand too early, and I don't think that there is much to worry about. Graphics are the first thing that people focus on, because its the easiest thing to use to indicate a games level of performance compared to other games. GG and Sony know how much is riding on this game, and they are watching the competition very closely.
If you take what GG has said then the graphics for the game look almost done at the pre alpha stage, and E3 was a few months ago, if you go back and look at game impressions from E3 07, the game play issues were not out of control. Other than some alleged AI issues ( which make sense if you are trying to showcase a games technical side and visuals, it might be easier to put the game on easy or god mode so you can make these demonstrations), the controls were reputed to be solid, and everything looked to be on the right track.
The first game while a victim of MEDIA hype, was a decent game on the PS2, but it must be said that this time around GG has a great deal more support from Sony, and this should and will reflect in the final product. Not to mention KZ Liberation which demonstrated a movement forward in the KZ vision and its game design.
Many just tend to look at KZ1 as the only chapter in GG history, but a shaky beginning doesn't mean that a company cannot learn from its mistakes and take steps to make improve. If that were the case then MS should be deemed a failure in the video gaming industry, but we all know that that is not the case.
I will be happy when GG gives more information on this game and I am as anxious as anyone, but given the way they handled all the haters that said that the target render was not possible, I believe we might be in for a treat when this game finally ships. They need to move forward when they are good and ready, not because the media or a small minority of haters are getting restless about new KZ 2 info.
