Killzone wasn't a spectacular game. It didn't get lots of press time, it didn't turn the tables on how people viewed shooters on the PS2, and it wasn't special. This begs the question, why is there such an interest in Killzone 2?
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 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.
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
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.
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."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
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.
hahaha...the cover system 'isn't realistic as some, as in the characters do not put their back to the wall'...has this guy ever been in battle?...not that I have...but I have played enough paintball to know that if you are taking any kind of cover, its a much better idea to keep your eyes on your enemy, not at the back towards all of your friends whom can't keep up with you...
the cover system is the most realistic system implemented into a game so far...in real life you don't have the option of hovering a camera behind you to see what your enemies are doing, while you are safely stuck behind some cover...whatever though...
either way, good to know the game really is looking that great...the mulitplayer alone makes this game very promising...its just frustrating that so many keep complaining that nothing stands out...when what exactly is supposed to 'stand out'...no other game shown so far looks this good...the gameplay seems solid (although many didn't care for the default sensitivity for the demo...which will no doubt be adjustable for the final game)...and apperantly GG figured out a way to keep the visuals that insane with 32 players online...by the logic most of these previews keep using; I have yet to see any other shotters 'stand out' either...
What I don't like is the way previews always need to take the same tone, "The graphics look awesome, but let's pay our attention to gameplay. Yes the gameplay is good, but...". If this game had none of the hype attached to it, and the graphics only became this good once the game was released and weren't quite up to that standard at the moment, you would read previews such as, "Killzone 2 looks OK but for us it also played quite well and smoothly too", and when the game released, you would see rave reviews because the gameplay would be good and the graphics awesome. What's happening is the other way around.
IMO reviews should not take points away for -ve points of the game, rather reward it points for what it does WELL. There is no doubt in my mind that certain Xbox fanboy sites have already given this game a score out of 10 in their heads. Nothing will change their mind. It's a run-of-the-mill FPS, so? So was COD4 and halo 3 but those weren't marked down because of that. It will always be "just another FPS", and no matter how perfect the control scheme is, how graphically impressive it is, how clever the AI is, how frantic or original the gameplay is, it will _always_ get these kind of complaints.
NO info has been given? Have they been under a rock?
...It's not the fault of the poster, because he's only putting out an article of interest, I'm talking about the person who wrote it.
The writer may have never been in battle, but let's say that I've seen a gun or two in my day. The 180 degree pivot used for shooting like that can go wrong on a battlefield; if you trip trying to dance like that, that's your ass; plus you expose yourself fully by using that technique. You only keep your back to the wall if you have very scant cover in certain situations or sneaking around in certain situations. You put your back against a wall and the enemy knows you have their back to them, a well-timed grenade will come flying your way, because those with their backs against a wall won't see it coming. On top of that, a wall can be shot through and blown-up; cover gives you the ability to avoid being shot outright, not to be a modern day shield; but let's humor the situation a bit: if you're behind a wall that was bullet/blast-proof, what kind of f*cknut presses his back against that when he's not in danger of being shot? That's used in that situation if an enemy can still hit you if you're standing NEAR a wall because the angle of the enemy is of one that can still target you if you didn't. One thing I'm sick of is people commenting on military tactics and techniques when they have zero experience. You may be trained to do this or that, but some things you leave at boot camp, like strapping-on their helmets in WWII; because of the design of the helmets, a blast could tear your head off if it was strapped-on. That would be like jumping with all of the parachute strings around your chin: as soon as that first tug hit, you'd be done for.
Again, I'm not blaming the poster, good for him, but the writer must be someone who watches a little too many action films.
As far as "nothing standing out" That could be said of any game... What stood out from Halo 3 that stood out from Halo 1 and 2? The camera? Or Metroid on the Wii? What about any and all of the CoD games including CoD4? Bad Company? Army of Two had the buddy gameplay, but hell, that's just Lost Vikings on steroids if I wanted to be a jerk about it. Gears of War's gameplay was identical to Kill.Switch in every was except for the chainsaw gun, which didn't work 100% of the time.
It's funny how everyone who says the game isn't original never made a game that proves their point.
So every time I hear "there's nothing that stands out" it translates to "I don't know how to critique, so I just say what other people are saying to sound smart"... which doesn't work for people smart enough to see through the bull.
Day 1 buy for me no matter what. The graphics are there, and from all the gameplay vids, the gameplay is there too. So I don't care what the previews say, what the reviews will say, because I'm impressed with what I see and this game is a day 1 buy for me. I look forward to getting this game in my hands and playing it when it comes out. Going to be a fantastic experience without a doubt, one of the best if I may add.
