E3 2008: Killzone 2 Progress Report

IGN: The last time I got my hands on Killzone 2, it was during Sony's judges event in Los Angeles and I took Sev up against a ton of Helghast attempting to overtake our convoy. I crash landed, pulled off some sick headshots, fired a rocket launcher, and used Sixaxis to twist a wheel to open a door. All in all, it was a good demo. When I picked up the controller in Sony's Los Angeles Convention Center this afternoon, I was a bit letdown to find out that I'd just be continuing the level I stopped in a few months ago.

Little did I know my socks were about to be knocked off.

IGN: How does this game keep getting better?

I really don't know. They pray and pray and pray for the downfall of this game but it just keeps telling off the nay sayers

GVON5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

after reading that and seeing the mp vids I've decided this game is going to be a lot of fun and is a nice way to kick off 09

Wildarmsjecht5783d ago

The game is looking fantastic in both graphics and gameplay. There will always be nay sayers and people detracting from it for no ACTUAL good reason at all, but it means nothing. The game is already proving itself.

Bolts5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

This game is looking totally boss. Other than the PC shooters there isn't anything that can come close to KZ 2 visuals. One thing I still can't get outta my mind no matter how often it's shown is how amazing the gun modeling looks. The blend of superb depth of view and super high detail modeling is simply untouchable. Its like gun p0rn heaven.

Just look at how good this gun look, that f@cking impossible.

Chad Warden5783d ago

Damn. So many sick looking multiplayer games coming to PS3 soon.

QueefyB5783d ago

as you can see killzone 2 will be a worldwide success

jkhan5783d ago

Pretty awesome preview. Sony did a good thing by delaying this game. Now there is more breathing space between Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, so by the time, people will be done by R2, Killzone 2 will be ready for them.;)

TheExecutive5783d ago

I LOVE the fact that this got delayed until february. Thats right folks I LOVE it.

This game is STILL 7 months from release and it looks this polished. Keep adding the goods GG this could turn out to be an instant classic.

Add features, polish and this game will be good if not great.

Real gamer 4 life5783d ago

It seem that killzone is finally being recognize as a good game.

Best graphic check
awesome gameplay check
crazyy a$$ multiplayer check

What else is left for the haters to complain about?

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-ro68d ago

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

darthv7268d 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_68d ago

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

Cacabunga68d ago

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

Profchaos68d ago (Edited 68d 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

seanpitt2368d 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!

Iceball200068d ago

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

Father__Merrin68d ago

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

InUrFoxHole68d ago

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

Marcus Fenix68d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198968d ago

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

1Victor68d ago (Edited 68d 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 😱

Michiel198968d 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.

1Victor372d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar372d ago

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

jznrpg372d ago

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

badz149371d 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!

Vengeance1138372d 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 Kim372d ago

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

VersusDMC372d 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?

Vengeance1138372d ago

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

solideagle372d 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.

Phoenix76372d 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

REDGUM372d ago

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

thesoftware730372d ago (Edited 372d 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.

blacktiger372d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca372d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal372d ago

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

Imalwaysright372d 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."

shinoff2183743d ago

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

shinoff2183743d 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

badz149743d 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.
