Here comes speculation from a previous employee of Sony about Killzone 2. Note his credentials cannot be validated, but he provides this evidence for the truth of his words:
"Just thought I'd post in response to people asking for proof. I'm just passing on information from one of my best friends, who works at Sony. If I had proof, you would have proof.
I agree that it sounds almost unbelievable, but I obviously believe it because I know that he wouldn't lie and works in the environment where this information is available.
For example when I worked there I played on heavenly sword, which was 18 months ago (very early code running on a dev kit, the enemies where either blue or pink), and i played on the PSP well before its release.
But as I said I'm just passing info on..."
This is what he claims to have heard:
"As some may know I used to work at Sony, and I was speaking to a friend still there last night, trying to get some details out of him over a few pints. Now he isn't working on Killzone 2 but he's been told and shown a few things. Here's what he said;
1. He seen a gameplay video. Graphically he said it was better than the E3 trailer, but personally I think he was just a bit over exited because it looked amazing.
2. NPC's react realistically to where they are shot. The example he said is that a Helghast was hit in the hand and it shook its hand as if in pain, and also if shot in the leg blood seeps out of the exact area shot.
3. For multiplayer each server is like a world, with villages and towns, and your battling for control. If Helghast controlled it looks run down, if ISA controlled it looks nice, with residents living there.
He said the game is very far along too."
This previous employee also claims that Lair's GFX are spectacular but the gameplay is lacking.
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.
Now, only 9 days left till the KILLZONE presentation. Soon... it will be all over for the XROBOTS everywhere.

We both have one bubble but i hope my comments have alittle more facts, proof, common sense and logic to them. lol
...she knows a guy who's midget half brother works at Sony...he says KZ2 is incredible.
Come on...can't we just wait until we get a leak from a reliable source OR the E3 presentation.

This should get approved as well as a rumour. That r6v was massively downgraded on ps3. and this should be posted
http://www.gamespot.com/pag...
xbox 360 version of the darkness is better then ps3 version. When both aren't true at all. These would be considered rumours too.
Well let me enter the debate here, since i stared at this link for nigh on an hour...thinking "IS this news worthy?"
I concluded it is NOT news worthy, but that it could be posted as a rumour. I then remembered what N4g was....a social website, to discuss and speculate, and not only for reliable news. Now this does not mean all rumours can be posted, or all forum posts....as many of them breed confrontation and deliberate mistruths...
However, this is harmless, for there is no console bashing, plus I have painted it as a rumour, and said that he cannot prove the legitimacy of his comments. All this "I know my auntie" stuff is a poor reply, for he CLAIMS to be a previous Sony employee, and also sounds sincere.
Waiting until e3 is wise, but since this is a social site, conversations and speculation could pursue....what I found interesting was not point number 1, but points 2 and 3. Could conversation not remain there?
thanks, deep
"I just dislike that joystiq, destructoid, 1up, and kotaku take information from this site as if accurate."
I am unaware of this. Plus, is that not their problem for misunderstanding what this site is...submitted by gamers, as well as misconstruing the rumour into fact?
In addition, it depends how the rumour is framed does it not? I feel I have made the context of this rumour very clear (and clearer thanks to kspraydad and kingofps3). If someone was to take this as fact then that is their failing, and not this websites. Deep
*edit* Captain Tuttle - nice story, but I don't need degrees to increase my score. All I need to do is post 18 stories in 24 hours. Very doable.
