Killzone 2 dlc will not be free

The website that originally reported on the upcoming Killzone 2 map pack being a free download, has corrected its story. The news item now says Sony Computer Entertainment contacted Tweakers.net, stating the DLC will in fact not be free, but will cost a still unknown amount of money. This one is confirmed by Sony, so alas, no free dlc for Killzone 2.

What we really need is higher ranks now, most people didnt find it too hard to get to general. The maps are still welcome, if they're reasonably priced that is.

indyman77775484d ago

You people know what I'm talking about. "Now this is how it's done", "show Microsoft how to do it", "no nickle and dime here" "this is the greatest news I have heard all month", "microsoft sucks" blah blah blah all thos kind of remaks no one taking responsibility now huh, hypocrites.

Lifendz5484d ago

I'm finally getting my own broadband signal this weekend and I will be Killzoning everyone that crosses my path. Charge for the content. I have no problem with that at all. Free would've been nice, but considering I don't pay money to simply connect to PSN I usually allot myself an extra 50 or so bucks a year for DLC and PSN games.

Killjoy30005484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

You're absolutely right. This is why I kept my mouth shut because the source wasn't exactly credible. I mean, I'd love for it to be free, but I knew it wouldn't happen.

@Lifeendz good point.

IdleLeeSiuLung5484d ago

lol!

I was one of the people that praised Sony, but questioned the source. I guess now we are back to the 2 maps, WTF! Are they going to charge us $10 for both maps, setting a new high price for maps!

Didn't maps used to be free on PC?

This is NOT confirmed by Sony or GG.
And it is certainly not substantial enough evidence to make me believe it is actually free.
As much as I'd love it to be.
You guys/gals need to calm down and wait for something a little more formal and concrete.

boodybandit5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

There were more than a few people saying "if" this (KZ2 DLC being free) is true that is a job well done by GG/Sony etc and so on. Myself being one of those that said "IF" (check my post history).

Why is it people like you only see the negative and try to fan flames? There are people on N4G that are actually not narrow minded trouble making fanboys. Wish I could say the same for you after checking your posting history.

Edit:
BTW my post from the article claiming the KZ2 DLC was free.
http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...
"1.14 - If this is true?
Hats off to GG and Sony!
I hope it's true. I am not a fan of the nickel and diming this generation of gaming has brought us."

You need to reread post under that article. There were quite a few people saying "if" or questioning if this was an accurate article. For all we know this article saying it wont be free might be inaccurate. Let's wait until there is official word from Sony or GG.

If not will you come back an apologize for saying what you yourself said in this thread? I highly doubt it.

FamilyGuy5484d ago

It's PS3 DLC so there's still the option of game sharing if you REALLY want it free. Just make friends with someone thats purchased it and get them to let you download a copy.

I wonder what they'll charge, I still think it'll be in the $2-$3 range.

IcarusOne5484d ago

They don't seem to post very often.

XLiveGamer5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

Yeah that is true!!! "Take all those comments back"

LOL!!!!!! *hiccup LOL!!!!

QuackPot5484d ago

Just as I warned a few days back.

"QuackPot - 2 days 19 hours ago

9 - Not Free

Unless officially comfirmed by GG or Sony themselves then it's not free.

Treat this news as fake until confirmation else the xfanboys will be laughing at you for believing it's free.

BTW: new maps are cool(free or not) but KZ2 really needs to get rid of the spawn flare, make ranking harder and more detailed, more weapons, add vehicles & new maps. I'd gladly pay for all of these IMPROVEMENTS to the game.

i agree even though im a PS3 and PC player your 100% correct.

Quack, i agree with most of what you have said , but i sure hope for no vehicles. i also would rather not pay for any of it but that life.

Daver5484d ago

hmmm from what i read it says the price is TBA... that dosnt mean it wont be free...

peeps5484d ago

will prob still get it as i was planning to originally (when i thought they would charge for it) i know plenty of people who won't be getting this now though which is a shame cus much less ppl are playing KZ compared to a month ago, free dlc could have brought them back and then charge for the retro pack.

ah well

gamesmaster5484d ago

i know what you mean, i stopped playing last month because i've unlocked all the ranks and most of the ribbons. they just need to add some more ranks to bring players back. maps will definitely help.

Rainstorm815484d ago

now we will see all the dissapointment posts and how sony misled everyone. Is there some kind of Anti-Sony conspiracy??

peeps5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

nope. just because i'm bored of a sony exclusive game doesn't mean i'm anti-sony, thats just being stupid tbh

and yeh. interesting to see people disagree with me for suggesting free dlc could have brought a lot of people back to the game (just look at weekly numbers compared to when the game launched)

sofresh2005484d ago

I just went back to playing KZ2 after a two week hiatus(RE5), and it's still as fun as I remember. Plenty of people are playing this game so you are just talking out of your ass. I'm sure the map pack will be around $4.99 and I'll def be getting it, see you guys online.

psn: SoFRESH200

peeps5484d ago

yes i must be talking out of my ass :/

there are still plenty online, but i'm saying theres plenty who no longer play it anymore and free dlc would prob bring them back. theres around 200,000 ranked people weekly now compared to when it launched, around 800,000 i believe, so 600,000 people are no longer playing. I'm saying free dlc could have got them interested again but fair enough if you would rather block out anything negative...

GameGambits5484d ago

I believe I said IF it was true it was free then other developers need to take note of DLC. Since it isn't true then no win here for anyone if you ask me.

I was hoping for it free, because 2 maps is still not something one should charge for unless you do 2 maps + other content. Since the patch coming with is free and the maps cost cash, then I honestly will skip the maps.

It won't be cheaper than 5 dollars and since I don't play the game enough, then it would be 5 dollars wasted. :(

Zip5484d ago

Well SONY has never said anything about it beeing free, so this dosent really comes as a great surprise, they had their cost too on this game development, so its only fair that they get some back this way. But I do see the people who are pissed, dlc can really spoil a good game, but again, thats the way the game industriy is moving.

but hey anyone! at least HOME is free :D? ... or is it? DLCs too ;)?

7thNightvolley5484d ago

and there i was thinking ..*GOSH Gurella and sony u are amazing to give this free*

Fishy Fingers5484d ago

Shame isn't it. But really people should of been asking, "if the DLC is Free why arent I hearing that from Sony/GG?", because usually if they (or anyone else) is giving away something for free they'll sing it from the rooftops.

Bodidley5484d ago

I won't be buying it. I bought killzone, played it then like the rest of my ps3 buddies went back to cod4 as killzone multiplayer sucks. Killzone was overhyped, graphically great but seriously lacking in fun & longevity.

Chapulin5484d ago

don't count as "PS3 buddies."

Apocwhen5484d ago

He actually has a point, most of my PSN friends have gone back to playing COD4 too.

I wouldn't say the multiplayer in KZ2 sucks though. But for alot of COD4 players it doesn't have the same gripping addictive gameplay. I think one of the things that makes COD4 more interesting is the number of weapons along with the dynamic customization that the perks introduced. Plus it must have double the number of maps as KZ2.

I still play both as they both offer a different set of gameplay.

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-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

Killzone 2+3

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 😱

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.

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

badz149345d 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

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

badz149717d 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.
