I just hope they make the perfect control, AI and level design along with great graphics so KZ2 can live up to it's promise and hype. Can't wait.

HeartlesskizZ6004d ago

I hope 2... and vehicles is not a big hype for me in KZ2 but is sure a good +.... im very concern about the gameplay configuration... I still think that being able to switch in 3rd person wile cover could have been a great add...

MK_Red6004d ago

I don't know much about the cover system and vehicles are new to KZ but the areas that I really hope they put their effor into perfecting the control, level design and most importantly, enemy AI.
Multiplayer is good but I'm not a MP type of person and prefer a singleplayer with good story and great level design to any multiplayer mode. Let's hope KZ2 delievers on both fronts :)

sonarus6004d ago (Edited 6004d ago )

i used to be single player oriented but this is next gen mk_red. Online is where it is at. I love playing with my friends and talkin trash and all. My friends arent always around but they have online connections and have ps3's/360's so we play online. Helghast arent the only ppl on helghan that opens up more possibilities. Guerilla is quite aware of the major criticisms from KZ1 and they plan to address these issues head on. I hate multiplayer games without vehicles i can say right now if KZ dosent have vehicles it will probably be a rental cus i knw i wnt play the multiplayer for long. Level design is quite important they need to give us levels that are quite original and truly fun to play in

MK_Red6004d ago

I know Multiplayer is important for next-gen and agree but as I said, it's not important to me as no matter what, I'm a singleplayer guy and always prefer SP to multiplayer / MMO and stuff. Always the lone wolf ;)

DARKKNIGHT6004d ago

this game looks freaking badassss.

i love the trailers for it, theyre so awesome. i like the animations when you shoot the guys with red eyes

MK_Red6004d ago

Killzone 2 and The Dark Knight are both pretty badass and hopefully both live up to their hype and potential.

Violater6004d ago

am I the only one that is upset that we prob wont get the game till next fall?

TheHater6003d ago

Dude even if the make this game perfect, or come really close to perfection, people are still going to complain. Trolls will always come up with something that doesn't make an sense to bash it.

I for one can't wait for this game. I will really like to be in that Beta. And if the Beta is coming out mid 2008. Then this game will be coming out around September next year.

Polluted6003d ago

@Demon_Zoul: I know what you mean about the cover system. I mean a cover system that works in the first person sounds like a weird idea, but Guerilla really seems to be focused on keeping the player as immersed in the game as possible. Taking us out of the first person would kind of kill the immersion factor. If they can pull this off and make the game as immersive as they are hoping, then I'm all for the first person cover system.

Bubbles for you my friend, I don't think I could have said it better.

The date sounds about right for the beta. As for the vehicles I believe that's a given as well.

I'm not sure how to feel about a third faction in the game. I'm scared for the game if it's true. :( ISA vs. Helghast is enough for me.

MK_Red6004d ago

A new faction could end up either really really good or really really bad. Hopefully the former happens.

Polluted6003d ago

I think a third faction will be cool. A lot of the complaints about the first Killzone are completely unfounded IMO, but one issue with that game that everyone can agree on is that there wasn't much variety in the enemies. Adding another faction to the game could really add some much needed variety in the stuff you're shooting at. If handled well it could take the story in some neat directions as well. Or it could just suck...

HarryEtTubMan6004d ago

Killzone 2 is gonna pwn. They arent gonna screw it up. I know it. Ive heard the Multiplayer is insane and super intense!

i3EY6004d ago

cant wait till the beta goin 2 b some good s!$5

MK_Red6004d ago

Thanks but the credit belongs to Clinton514 :)

Skerj6004d ago

Wow player controlled vehicles? Here I was thinking the MP mode would be a decidedly closed affair, but if we get to play out the opening sequences with the dropships online hot damn that's going to rock.

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-ro78d ago

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

darthv7278d 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_78d ago

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

Cacabunga78d ago

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

Profchaos78d ago (Edited 78d 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

seanpitt2378d 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!

Iceball200078d ago

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

Father__Merrin78d ago

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

InUrFoxHole78d ago

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

Marcus Fenix78d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198978d ago

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

1Victor78d ago (Edited 78d 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 😱

Michiel198978d ago

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

SullysCigar382d ago

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

1Victor382d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar382d ago

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

jznrpg382d ago

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

badz149381d 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!

Vengeance1138382d 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 Kim382d ago

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

VersusDMC382d 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?

Vengeance1138382d ago

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

solideagle382d 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.

Phoenix76382d 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

REDGUM382d ago

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

thesoftware730382d ago (Edited 382d 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.

blacktiger381d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca382d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy382d ago (Edited 382d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal382d ago

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

Imalwaysright382d 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."

shinoff2183753d ago

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

shinoff2183753d 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

badz149753d 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.
