Killzone 2 is the grittiest, most immersive, and all around most exhilarating first person shooter I have ever played.
Getting that out of the way, let's rewind to 2004. As we all know, the original Killzone didn't receive the highest of praise upon release. It had some very cool things going for it, and as a result was hyped to high heavens prior to its debut, but it ultimately turned out to be a buggy mess, with any positive traits of the game being buried under a myriad of framerate dips, texture pop-in, and other technical issues."
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.
Great preview. I'm not in the beta but I have played it on a buddy's console, and everything the writer says is true. The game takes FPSs to a completely new level, not only from a graphical standpoint but also from a gameplay/tactical standpoint.
Basically, if you love the class system of TF2 or the quasi-class system of CoD4, KZ2 does it better. It offers the perfect blend of customization (by allowing you to mix and match badges) while still making each badge feel distinct and unique.
I can't wait for February 2009!
Sounds like the guy is really digging KZ2. And why not I am too. They hype is building, now Sony just needs to make KZ2 Lunchboxes and market the bejesus out of the game.
Saboteur
Primary Badge : The ability to disguise yourself as an enemy.
Secondary Badge : The ability to plant C4 proximity explosives.
These are some real sneaky bastards that have a habit of slipping into the opposing faction’s spawn, then taking out everyone they can and laying some C4 before they’re finally gunned down by the sentry turrets guarding the enemy encampment. This is especially bothersome for the Helghast on Salamun market, because once a Saboteur gets on the roof of the Helghast base, - remove they’re free from turret fire, so it’s up to a smart HGH player to take them down. These guys are also extremely useful for sneaking up on an Assassination target.
