Killzone PS3 in September = Incorrect

Here's what Seb "motherH" of Guerrilla games had to say about recent new rumors from GamePro:

"That is incorrect. I don't know why they would think this. Killzone for PS3 is not being released at that time."

I still think releasing Killzone near Halo3 wasnt such a bad idea. In fact PS3 needs to have something while a monster like Halo3 for 360 is around. When Gears came out, Sony needed Resistance and for Halo, only Killzone has enough hype to (try yo) match uber overhyped Halo 3.

snoop_dizzle6172d ago

but sony hasn't stopped halo before.

For Killzone 2 to do good, they have to actually show stuff like they did with lair.

FreeMonk6172d ago

Remember this is not Gears of War. This is HALO 3!! This is the last part of a trilogy, an already known project.

Gears and Resistance was new to everybody, so Gears against Resistance was a perfect match.

Halo 3 against Killzone would be suicide for Sony, because all Sony have to go on at the moment is a 3 minute trailer and a PS2 original that wasn't that good, whereas Halo 3 has 2 successful games before it, a beta currently running for MP, and lots of media, screenshots and more and more hype coming out from Bungie HQ every week.

I'm not saying Killzone will suck when released, I'm saying that Sony could lose potential sales to Halo 3 if released at the same time, because there are 360 owners who own a PS3 too, and probably would buy Halo 3 (I would anyway) rather than Killzone.

CrazzyMan6172d ago

i mean, halo3 MP beta doesn`t look impressive, and plays more like Halo2 in HD. So unless, they do some significant changes.. halo3 might be just overrated.

and then again, it can be like geow VS resistance, but only this time in place of geow might be Killzone 2 vs halo3+fanbase.

KZ2 has some chances to steal hype of halo3, like geow did with ps3 launch.

QuackPot6171d ago (Edited 6171d ago )

It doesn't matter when KZ2 is released. So long as they get everything right: AI, gameplay, net play, graphics & sound/music, physics.

Most buyers of H3 will be fans of the franchise and already have an xbox 360. My guess is there won't be a significant increase in sales either, after H3 is released. It's just another shooter - YES, a damn good shooter but still just a shooter. And everyone knows that xbox 360 is a favourite haunt for shooter titles - they're truly a dime a dozen & like have you seen the trigger controller?

Likewise KZ2 won't result in a major jump in sales of the Ps3. I'd leave that honour to Little Big Planet which will appeal to all genders & ages...and could seriously interest people to buy a $600 paper weight(aka $400 game console + $200 Blu-ray media centre). But KZ2 will leave alot of Ps3 shooter fans happy especially if they dont' have an xbox.

For the time being, you guy can just enjoy Haze. It looks damn good.

Now if only you could use motorbikes, tanks, APC & helicopters. Then Haze could start to challenge H3 as one of the best shooters ever....oops, I should have said KZ2 not Haze. lol

clownfacemcgee6171d ago

Haze looks good in a lot of it's graphics, but the enemy soldiers piss me off. They're on fire whenever your nectar suit is up. What the hell's up with that? I know you have that nectar suit on that changes stuff, but could they at least make them less dull that a human shaped flame? Everyone on fire? Enemy soldiers always just being a mass of flames? That really pisses me off to the point that I don't even want to buy it. Enemy soldiers are an important part of graphics, so why are you just making the a moving fire?

At least sometimes, when your suit goes down, you can see what they really look like. When your suit is down they look decent, so why couldn't they do that while your suit is up? UGH! I'm supposed to be shooting at a South American revolutionary, NOT THE HUMAN TORCH! Flame on?

Not only is that a better/smarter move for Sony and Guerrilla, but now, its gives the people on N4G a rest from bickering and talking about it coming out in September.

Me personally, I have all 3 systems, and Ive got to say that, that would have been the most retarded move by Guerrilla if they had released KillZone 2 in September. Obviously, Halo 3 has been the attention of 2007 for games ever since the E3 2006 trailer. Im going to have to say, from a console perspective(not including PC Games), that Halo 3 is going to be the biggest and most hyped game to talk about and play this year. I havent seen a single game, that has the depth of story campaign as the Halo franchise, or one that plays like all shooters should, and looks absolutely amazing on the 360.

Now as far as PS3 games go, yea, i would like to see and play some of them, cause some of them look pretty good. Youve got Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Ratchet and Clank, etc. All those i cant wait to try out and play on PS3, but as far as KillZone 2, Halo 3 and the Year 2007, Its Halo's time to shine and finish the fight. Guerrilla has showed us nothing on KillZone 2, except for that CG trailer wayyy back at E3 2005. So that automatically tells me that a) they are not even close to being done, or even close to releasing the multiplayer beta. b) We havent heard any talk about KillZone for the past few months, until today, which means, they are being tight lipped about it, because of the fact, they need to make the actual gameplay look like that trailer. and c) they know sure as hell, that they wouldnt succeed if they released the game the same month, even the same year as Halo 3.

Basically, I want both of these games to succeed, but given guerrillas, insignifcant amount of detail, trailers, in game screen-shots they have given us, given that KillZone hasnt been talked about or heard of much since 2005, and given that this past year, and just recently all of May, has all been about Halo Multiplayer Beta, and a release date for Sept.25, and Halos fanbase, and how its one of the best shooter franchises ever made, and the media attention it gets, Its quite simple--> Halo 3 WINS 2007, KillZone 2---> Not ready. now maybe GTA4 might have some affect, but any other game releasing around sept. oct., will for the most part, not succeed. I say, if Sony, M$, or Nintendo, want to release other games in 2007, they better do it near the end of Nov., early december.

DaTrooF6172d ago

i'm guessing that Guerila doesnt want to show anything of Killzone yet because if what they show isnt close to being as good as th e3 trailer...no matter how good the game look..people are going to bash it the only way they can..by saying it didnt live up to the graphics shown at e3...it would probably be a bunch of fanboys...even if killzone ends-up being the best looking game of this generation...someone will try to bash it anyway they can..

VORODOR 26172d ago

GTA will be no.1 game of the year GTA is a much bigger game and seing it's multiplatform all round it'll kill Halo sales!

snoop_dizzle6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

were talking about exclusives for the PS3 and 360.

Halo 3 and Killzone 2 are in the same genre

GTA 4 is much different.

If you were referring to the GTA launch affecting the Halo 3 and Killzone 2 launch, there is news that GTA4 is being delayed.

But yes GTA4 is going to sell very well.

MK_Red6172d ago

True, Killzone2 should be the most impressive PS3 title if they want to use it against Halo. Halo3 has 2 years of full hype behind it and 2 E3 shows but Killzone has nothing except that old E3 demo. I think Sony has to show KZ2 with full force for E3 2007 and keep super hyping it until christmass or even later to have more TGS/E3s to show the game.
Personally, I think Killzone 2 BETA will arrive this september. We have heard about it and a beta to fight Halo3 seems good: PS3 has something to show while Halo3 is unleashed and full KZ2 game can arrive months later.

BlackIceJoe6172d ago

I also think September would be when the Beta will come out. As for when Killzone comes out I see it coming out next year. This way at least Killzone will not have to worry about Halo. Plus this way Killzone can have a greater chance to look like the trailer.

QuackPot6171d ago (Edited 6171d ago )

But we need to get everything into perspective.

I. What console(s) do you own? Ps3 AND Xbox 360 or just one?

II. Do you like shooters?

III. Are you a fan of the Halo franchise....you've played and enjoyed it?

IV. What is the composition of console owners?

NOW:

1. if you own both machines then you can enjoy both games. Which game is better or the release date doesn't matter because you will be buying both.

2. if you only have one conole then you won't be buying the other game because you don't have the other console. So it doesn't matter which game is better or the realease date as you will be enjoying the game you have bought.

3. If you don't like shooters then YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT which game is better or the release date of H3, KZ2, Haze etc.

4. If you do like shooters then refer 1. & 2.

5. If you are a fan of the Halo franchise then you're likely to buy the sequels and the console if need be, just to get your next fix. Now I'm a fan but also a Sony fanboy - refer 1.

6. If you are not a fan of Halo franchise then you're unlikely buy the console. Refer 2.

7. The Xbox/x360 is well known for its large number of shooters as well has having a significant ownership base from the USA. The Playstations have a broader ownership and more diverse range of titles. It would be safe to say that the Playstations would have fewer percentage of owners who liked shooters than the xbox/x360. So a AAA shooter is not going to be as important to the Ps3 as it is to the xbox 360.

CONCLUSION:

It doesnt matter what the release date is. Just enjoy the games you buy for pete's sake!!!

clownfacemcgee6171d ago

I heard that since the Warhawk Beta, which I didn't even get into, psh, so much for public, was only for America, the KZ2 Beta might only be for Europe. That'd be really stupid, since I know myself and a friend of mine and a lot of other people didn't get in. The only friend I know who got in, also got into the KZL Beta and the Home Beta and now the Warhawk Beta, because he's on the GAP. God damnit, I need to get on that GAP.

egyptian_diarrhea6172d ago

"I still think that someone leaked (urine) guerrila and sony's scheme, and this comment from guerrilla is clearly covered in sweat because they didn't want anyone to find out.But i'm also stupid which although fallacious,can be considered a valid counter-argument to what i just said." - shakespeare

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.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d 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-ro48d ago

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

darthv7248d 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_48d ago

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

Cacabunga48d ago

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

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d 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

seanpitt2348d 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!

Iceball200048d ago

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

Father__Merrin48d ago

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

InUrFoxHole48d ago

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

Marcus Fenix48d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198948d ago

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

1Victor48d ago (Edited 48d 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.

1Victor352d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar352d ago

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

jznrpg352d ago

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

badz149351d 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!

Vengeance1138352d 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 Kim352d ago

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

VersusDMC352d 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?

Vengeance1138352d ago

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

solideagle352d 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.

Phoenix76352d 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

thesoftware730352d ago (Edited 352d 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.

blacktiger352d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca352d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal352d ago

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

Imalwaysright352d 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."

shinoff2183724d ago

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

shinoff2183724d 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

badz149723d 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.
