More Killzone 2 ads pulled after child 'saw monster'

Destructoid: Following the pulling of Killzone 2 adverts in Toronto, it seems that a nearby bus company is jumping on the bandwagon. The York Region Transit line of bus shelters had received a complaint about the "scary" poster, but ignored it until Sony Canada starting pulling them in Toronto. Now the company has sprung into action with quickness and efficiency.

damn can sony ever get a break from the media

LeonSKennedy4Life5531d ago

Not the American media.

If they didn't give Bush a break, they won't give Sony a break.

Then, they'll constantly make remarks about how they are persecuted by the rest of the US...because obviously they're the one's being persecuted.

This is just sad.

redsquad5530d ago

...that's one of the most childish responses I could have read in relation to this topic. Please be aware of your own shortcomings before tossing the word 'kiddy' around.

MAR-TYR-DOM5531d ago

wonder how much Microsoft payed them? ;)

Buy seriously, i do have doubts about this, i mean seriously? Ive seen way more violent posters on buses and in shelters, i thinks there is more to it.

Save it for live buddy, we're not too interested in that kinda talk here.

@topic...seriously?

FarEastOrient5531d ago

Doesn't Canadians come down to see us in the United States, come on your advertising is pale in comparison to ours in the states. You should've seen the Fallout 3 ads plastered all over Washington D.C.

shawnsl655531d ago (Edited 5531d ago )

i guess if he were to see the Resistance 2 Monster Ad on that huge ass L.A Building.. he'd be scarred for life.

remember this?

how the hell did i miss that, i remember seeing a stupid Kung-fo panda ad on wilshire, that must have been the other direction.

coolcole935531d ago

Things like this really piss me off. It's nothing to do with the fact the ads were about KZ2, it's just how pathetic a vast portion of our global society is :@

DaTruth5530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

I live in Toronto and those ads are still in every bus shelter. Bus shelters are the only ads we have. There are no television ads for games, except when we watch American television. And the big stations reformat their commercials to Canadian commercials.

They need all the ad revenue they can get. All we here everyday is how broke the TTC is. Oh, and how their bus drivers(who are the biggest @$$holes on Earth) are always being assaulted.

AuToFiRE5530d ago

yeahour bus system just ended a 51 day strike because a 2% raise wasnt enough

DominusRebellis5530d ago

So they can post posters of 50 cent standing beside two almost naked girls, with guns in his hand while the girls are sexually sucking on lollipops but they can't have posters of a imaginary videogame character...riiiiight.

media attention...nothing like a controversy to get little Johnny Canuck to want the game.

Elven65531d ago

Until some tragic event is linked to this the mainstream media won't pick it up much.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5530d ago

Sony does need some kind of attention on this game, after all those Killzone 2 sales are lacking.

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-ro58d ago

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

darthv7258d 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_58d ago

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

Cacabunga58d ago

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

Profchaos58d ago (Edited 58d 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

seanpitt2358d 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!

Iceball200058d ago

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

Father__Merrin58d ago

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

InUrFoxHole58d ago

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

Marcus Fenix58d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198958d ago

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

1Victor58d ago (Edited 58d 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 😱

Michiel198958d ago

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

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

1Victor362d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar362d ago

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

jznrpg362d ago

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

badz149362d 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!

Vengeance1138362d 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 Kim362d ago

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

VersusDMC362d 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?

Vengeance1138362d ago

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

solideagle362d 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.

Phoenix76362d 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

REDGUM362d ago

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

thesoftware730362d ago (Edited 362d 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.

blacktiger362d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca362d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal362d ago

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

Imalwaysright362d 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."

shinoff2183734d ago

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

shinoff2183734d 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

badz149734d 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.
