State of Play: Killzone 2 hands on

Killzone 2 has always been about delivering on a promise. When the first trailer for the game emerged two years ago the sounds of jaws dropping to the floor reverberated around the industry.

Soon after, only the gnashing of grinding teeth was heard when it emerged that the trailer was not being run on PlayStation 3 hardware.

Atleast they have a brain, they make it sound so damn good... I need this now lol. Cant wait!!!!

Bazookajoe_836104d ago

It´s cool coming from BBC, I like that they have thrown in destructuble enviroment. And the cover system in fps will be the first ever seen, i hate when they say it has a gears cover system. Gears is third person and not the first who has done a cover system...

P4KY B6104d ago

They know sod all about video games. They just say what they think people want to hear.

But Killzone 2 will be very good. There will be loads of great previews coming soon from more trusted sources.
Just dont embarrass yourself by waving about what the BBC have to say, you just end up looking desperate.

There is no need to be desperate, the game will be good.

risk6103d ago

what shocked me was the 6 months of developement time on ONE level.

THE_JUDGE6104d ago

but yet again this game is turning doubters to believers. I can't wait to see the final build and get hands on with it.

Odion6104d ago

no Crysis still knocks it out

lVlemphizStylez6104d ago (Edited 6104d ago )

you sound bitter...immature in the very least...Is it necessary to say the things you say? Or can you not resist??

D_U_I6104d ago

Killzone 2 still knocks halo 3 out....

cheers.

Odion6104d ago

oh ya 100% Killzone graphically knocks the hell out of Halo 3, but Crysis is still the best looking game

Violater6103d ago

Until Crysis shows up on a console, it doesn't count.

TriggerHappy6103d ago

This article is only about Killzone 2, how any can reference Crisis or halo 3 is beyond me

The Wood6103d ago

compare console games to pc games. PC games will always have the best graphics if you can afford the hardware. You sound as desperate as ever and its about the 15th time ive seen you downplaying killzone with crysis. Your just here to bash so be off with ya,,, shew, shew theres a new crysis demo in the pc section.

Im a little surprised the bbc has not gone ana/ on the violence within kz2 as it seems to be the in thing in the uk right. By that i mean the influence that music, films and video games on whats happening to the youth of the uk in certain areas.

Im sure another report from the bbc will cover this shortly, watch this space

heroman7116103d ago

as much as i hate to admit it, you are right. Killzone 2 looks sick but I m pretty sure crysis destroys this game. Haze is up there with killzone 2 and crysis as well in my opinion

What an bunch of f-ing bullshit.

People were excited because the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer was one of the best trailers ever shown at a game conference.

No one ever claimed it was running live on PS3 hardware. Ever. No matter how hard the Xbots try to lie, no one EVER claimed the trailer was running realtime on PS3 hardware.

There was an interview with a Sony exec where they were talking about Resistance and he was asked if it was real gameplay and he responded yes, which it was. Resistance was already running well all the way back then.

The Xbots spun the interview to make it sound like Sony was claiming the KZ2 trailer was running in realtime. And for two entire years their entire fanboy lives fixated on the day where KZ2 was unveiled...

and they got OWNED. They got OWNED like no other fanboys have ever been OWNED before. They sat at home sobbing in their Xbox pillow covers and jammies.

Really shouldn't surprise anyone, the same Xbots spent all of last gen trying to get people to get mad at Sony for claiming "Toy Story Graphics" when it was actually Microsoft who made the idiotic claim of the Xbox having "Toy Story Graphics"

"One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'"

vidoardes6104d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

Actually I hate to burst your bubble, but they did claim it was running on PS3 hardware. Someone high up in Sony (could have been Jack or Kaz, can't remeber right now)did use the phrase 'Yes, that is running on PS3 hardware'. I will try and hunt down the link, there is still a video floating about.

I suggest you check your facts before you make a rant like that.

Back on topic, this game is shaping up nicely, I didn't know they were letting th epublic press actually play levels. Good to finally hear, now I just gotta wait until I can get my hands on it :D

EDIT: http://www.gameklip.net/v/1...

Sorry, it was Jack Tretton and he said it about Killzone, no two ways about it.

ben hates you6104d ago

jack tretton was talking to interviewers he said " oh definatly running realtime" but he was refering to resistance, but the people thought he was talking about killzone 2

WaggleLOL6103d ago

LostProphet. OWNED.

Hell, if you're going to go hunting for clips that don't exist(like Sony claiming the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer was running realtime on a PS3) why don't you find the quote from Sony where they claimed "Toy Story" level graphics for the PS2 that Xbots just haven't been able to come up with the last five years while you're at it.

WaggleLOL6103d ago

"Sorry, it was Jack Tretton and he said it about Killzone, no two ways about it."

Bzzzttt!!!

Give it a rest. It's been talked about over and over again. The only claims Sony ever made about running realtime were about Resistance. End of story.

Anything that shows otherwise is some bogus summary or revisionism.

vidoardes6103d ago

If your that much of a blind fanboy then you really need some help. If you click the link I posted, he clearly says it.

It's people like you that are bringing this site down you know? I though fanboys just attacked other fanboys, but you'll just jump at anything won't you? I liek the PS3, I think Killzone is shaping up to be a great game and I am looking forward to getting it, you on the other hand seam to enjoy bashing MSoft and its fans so much that you haven't got anytime to play games. Grow up or find somewhere else to throw your tantrums

drtysouf216103d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

listen to what Jack says he says TED wanted to make it clear that it was realtime. He's referring to Ted Price from Insomniac who are the makers of Resistance Fall of Man. He got confused because the topic switched from Resistance to Killzone 2.

Amplifier6103d ago (Edited 6103d ago )

Gametrailers.com did a bait and switch!

Listen to WHOLE video and ignore that Killzone 2 was playing, Jack Tretton did indeed said "that's one Ted wanted to make perfectly clear" as in Ted Price from Insomniac Games.

This has ALWAYS been spun out of control over some stupid crap GameTrailers pulled 2 freaking years ago.

Sorry bud but you are more wrong than you even know and so is everyone else that believed that BS.

Amp

PS - Regardless Killzone 2 is delivering and in my opinion surpassing every expectation that I had for it and I most definitely am a PC gamer as well.

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-ro41d ago

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

darthv7241d 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_41d ago

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

Cacabunga41d ago

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

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d 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

seanpitt2341d 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!

Iceball200041d ago

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

Father__Merrin41d ago

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

InUrFoxHole41d ago

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

Marcus Fenix41d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198941d ago

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

1Victor41d ago (Edited 41d 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 😱

Michiel198941d 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.

1Victor345d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar345d ago

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

jznrpg345d 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!

Vengeance1138345d 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 Kim345d ago

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

VersusDMC345d 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?

Vengeance1138345d ago

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

solideagle345d 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.

Phoenix76345d 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

REDGUM345d ago

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

thesoftware730345d ago (Edited 345d 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.

blacktiger345d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca345d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal345d ago

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

Imalwaysright345d 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."

shinoff2183717d ago

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

shinoff2183717d 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.
