There is a hot new rumor today that Sony and Guerilla Games have secretly completed a playable demo version of Killzone 2..... and Sony plan to release the demo before Microsoft release their Halo 3 Beta!
Quoted from Luke Smith's Blog at 1up:
"Rumors pointed at the game's intended resurgence at their pre-launch Gamers' Day event last year. Ultimately, if the rumors are to be believed, Sony shelved showing Killzone 2 in favor of spotlighting Insomniac's new shooter franchise (and it will be a franchise) Resistance. The same rumors have pointed to Killzone 2 being much further along than previously expected -- with the apex of the rumor arc concluding that the game has been playable online for almost a year."
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.
I should think a playable demo exists!!! they have had long enough. If they are holding back till Halo 3 breaks cover then they must think they have a big hit on their hands. I think, even after the the whole CGI trailer nonsense, i hope the internal optimism proves all of the doubters wrong, and we know there are many MANY doubters!
This is the only game that will make the 360 and the ps3 go to true-war.
I mean
Motorstorm vs what? 360 don`t have any directly game to putt up against motorstorm on the ps3 so we don`t know witch one is better.
And none of those gams have been called Halo killer.
Then we have Resistance[<---spell check?] the game that we where told would bring GoW to the knees butt it was Gow that Curb stomped the Re.. to hell where it belong...
BUTT NOW!!!
The true halo "killer" is back, that if we should listen to watt they called the game when halo 1 was about to come out.
Could Killzone 2 be the HALO 3 killer?
let the real Game war begin!!!!
IN THE RED CORNER!!!!
KILLZONE 2 WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHER KILLZONE 1 THAT WAS BADLY BEATEN BY HALO FOR 2 YEARS AGO!! Now his bing brother KILLZONE 2 is back to take the throne of the most beautiful gfx fps out in the first wave of games to the next gen consoles.
IN THE BLUE CORNER!!!!
2 MAJOR GAMES ( wins ;)), THE WORLD LOVE IT!, NO ONE HAVE BEAT HIM YET!
LOTS AND LOTS of BADGES and PRICES in GAME shows and MORE!!
NOW HE IS BACK!... HALO 3,,, the MASTER OF MASTERS!!!
so,,,, IS HE BACK TO TAKE THE THRONE ONCE AGAIN FROM THE "HALO KILLER"?
LET THE MATCH BEGIN!!
the announcement we've all been waiting for. (head nodding down, eyes closed with loud AC/DC in the background)......///
Hey, this game may well kick ass, but does anyone truly beleive ANY of the new consoles can do realtime graphics like that e3 video?
I don't think a current top of the line pc could even do that.
firstly of all can we make sure we all see that this is a rumor,
secondly i just looked at the killzone cgi footage and to be honest, graphically, it is not much better than gears. Of course the scripted action is great and but graphically i dont think it is now so impressive.
One thing that does come to mind if this rumor is true, i thought great games didnt have demo versions. + I think the Sony hype machine would already be in action if this were true
