Killzone 2 for sale, street date broken

"I couldn't believe myself when I first saw it in a local videogame store. It was Killzone 2 the full game. [Two] weeks before the release date. The salesman told me that they managed to bring only 70 copies of Killzone 2, and they all sold out in just [five] hours... He reserved one copy for me..."

TheHater5547d ago

hopefully I can get the game this weekend

Fishy Fingers5547d ago

"but you can guarantee that if any shop were dare to sell it before the release date in North America or Europe, Sony's lawyers would be onto them like whippets."

:(

cliffbo5547d ago

don't. the online is broken and it looks like the devs may block it indefinitely

Blackcanary5547d ago

i want this game now so bad its driving me crazy, I've stocked up my cub boards full of food ready for the days that i will be speeding just playing this one game like i did with MGS4

heyheyhey5547d ago

@cliffbo

the online lock is for press kits and sh!t like that being sold on eBay

if you can sneak a copy from a store it will be fully retail and functional... just the store broke the date and the online servers won't be up

KILLZONE 2 IS OUT !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAHHHH !! :O :O :O :O

GO CRAZY PPL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

darthv725547d ago

Seen two different posts for kz2 in the san fran/bay area. Going for $65+ for the standard edition.

callahan095547d ago

Good news. Now that it's confirmed out in the wild, I'll have to go to the same store that sold me LittleBigPlanet a week before its release (that is, a week before the ORIGINAL release, before the delay because of that Islamic song issue, I had all of the trophies that didn't require online connection over a week before most people even got their hands on the game!) and see if they can hook me up.

Lifendz5547d ago

I saw him play it all the time. he even has trophies for it. I'm jealous but I guess I have to wait.

Blaze9295547d ago

time to hit up Toys R Us, Kmart and Walmart.

I think it may be a good idea to hit up Circuit City too since they are closing down. I doubt they are "holding" Killzone 2 since the whole point is getting everything out quick as possible. Hmmm....ill check this weekend

N4360G5547d ago

I envy those lucky gamers that will be playing the best FPS of all time before the release date.

solidt125547d ago

I wish I could fly to Dubia to get a copy.

GameGambits5547d ago

If anyone manages to find a place with an early copy in the next few days, then please for the love of God buy an extra one for me. XD

I'll pay you and thensome woot!

Jazz41085547d ago

its not worth a dollar over retail

Blasphemy5547d ago

My brother is in Djibouti right now I wander is it out there to? I am seriously thinking about telling him to buy a copy and send it to me.

Foxgod5547d ago

It took 5 hours to sell 70 copies ?
Damn, Halo 3 sold 70 copies per minute.....

TheOutsider5547d ago

It took your dad 2 seconds to conceive you!

Foxgod5547d ago

You better not talk about people's parents, you never know what karma will do to you.

heyheyhey5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

yeah.. when it was released worldwide in every store

this sold 70 copies in ONE SINGLE STORE in 5 hours with few being informed of this occurence

but nice try, dumbass :)

lol... in Saudi Arabia too

Ethreon5547d ago

Those lucky fcuks.

And kinda dumb to go with parent-jokes when some1 bashes some videogame, well thats fanboyism for you.

TheForgotten0ne5547d ago

But 70 copies 2 weeks before it was suppoed to be released.

I'll say 5 hours is great then!

N4360G5547d ago

LOL heyheyhey pretty much said all that needed to be said.

cryymoar5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

you might as well make a new account because your stupidity is showing.

70 in 5 hours is great for one store is great considering the conditions.
i wonder if those who try to get online will be banned or get into legal trouble. i'm sure the store might get into legal trouble.

Sir Ken_Kutaragi5547d ago

I hope ALL PS3 owners buy it!!!;) Don't Rent it!!! BUY IT!!!;)

Magic_The_Celt5547d ago

Maybe because it wasnt officialy up for sale so no one was there to specificaly buy it?

idiot.

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.

OtterX43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

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-ro42d ago

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

darthv7242d 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_42d ago

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

Cacabunga42d ago

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

Profchaos42d ago (Edited 42d 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

seanpitt2342d 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!

Iceball200042d ago

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

Father__Merrin42d ago

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

InUrFoxHole42d ago

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

Marcus Fenix42d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198942d ago

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

1Victor42d ago (Edited 42d 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 😱

Michiel198942d ago

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

SullysCigar347d ago

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

1Victor346d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar346d ago

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

jznrpg346d ago

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

badz149346d 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!

Vengeance1138346d 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 Kim346d ago

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

VersusDMC346d 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?

Vengeance1138346d ago

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

solideagle346d 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.

Phoenix76346d 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

REDGUM346d ago

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

thesoftware730346d ago (Edited 346d 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.

blacktiger346d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca346d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal346d ago

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

Imalwaysright346d 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."

shinoff2183718d ago

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

shinoff2183718d 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

badz149718d 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.
