IGN: Killzone in 5 mins

Psyched for Killzone 3 but have no idea what's going on in the series? Watch our quick video wrap-up.

TheLastGuardian4860d ago

I still want to play Killzone 1 eventually. Would it not be as good if I got it spoiled from watching the video?

Scottyabanks4860d ago (Edited 4860d ago )

Trust me, you were not spoiled, as an avid fan of the Killzone series, I can confidently say KZ1 was the best in the franchise. Such a good game, and all the reason way KZ2 received all the hype it did. All I got to say is secondary fire, son! Double shot gun, grenade pistol, Gatling gun with missile attachments, 3 missile mortar launchers, machine gun with shotgun accessory! Not to mention, if you had a Gameshark, you could Fire rockets as if it were a fire hose! Oh, and my personal favorite, the machine pistol, so subtle and deadly. Oh, and the ears! Dude the ears! when you play it, you will know what I'm talking about. Buy it now!

beavis4play4860d ago (Edited 4860d ago )

don't forget, scotty -

you get to play as luger and hakha (love the helgahst pistol) and the park level alone is worth playing KZ1. it's also kick-ass the first time you meet luger!(damn, that chick kicks ass)

just don't give up on it early....i think the opening level of KZ1 is the weakest link.

N4WAH4860d ago

Scary orange eyes that make them easy to snipe. BAAM! <- that part was funny.

Bathyj4860d ago

Killzone 1 had 2 of my favourite weapons of all time.

The Machine Pistol, if we're talking about the same weapon had a silenced single shot mode, and a full auto but still accurate mode with a zoom.

The second was the Helghast rifle. A huge drum mag, with a single shotty round for the secondary fire. There was nothing like emptying a drum into 5 guys that came running around a corner and then when out, that shotty blast to finish off any survivors.

I cant imagine why there's no secondary fire anymore, its a big omission. I suspect its a game balancing issue for the MP portion of the game which really sh*ts me.

Bring back those weapons GG. They're sorely missed.

InactiveUser4860d ago

You'll probably want to throw something at your TV to shut it up with the annoying, repetitive enemy screams in KZ1. That's all I kept thinking about when playing darkSector.. similar annoying enemy screams.

beavis4play4860d ago

Bathyj - LOVED those weapons from KZ1. and yea- i don't understand why GG went away from the secondary fire.
as i said above - that helghast pistol was badass too - it didn't pack as hard a punch as an individual round from the ISA pistol......but it was fully automatic and could really deal out some death!

grailly4860d ago

Wow, you guys just reminded me of how awesome KZ1 was, too bad KZ2 didn't keep the secondary fire and the character choice.

also, didn't KZ1 already have brutal melee? at least I remember that with luger I used to throw knives into peoples throat and pulling it out sideways (awesome!)

Its "Vekta" not Vetka, game journalism my ass, ign sucks!
And was it just me or did they point out the flaws in Killzone games instead of telling us what it was about.

BLACKBOIJONES4860d ago

"My people, Sons and daughters of Sony, This much we? know. The history of this generation will be written in exclusives, by crushing the armies of Microsoft, by seizing the map packs they fought to turn against us, we were fighting for our own exclusives. But if there are those who would deny us free online, refuse us our rightful place in gaming. Then we will unleash such Amazing exclusives, that morons playing xbox 360, will cry out in anguish!" :D

gamer20104860d ago

Wow, you're so original. I've only seen that about A THOUSAND TIMES on youtube and other sites.

beavis4play4860d ago

it's still funny, anyways! bubbles blackboijones!

Tony-Red-Grave4860d ago

LOL no bubbles but i've gotta say it actually works XD

chriski3334860d ago

we still getting the open beta on feb 2nd right?

TheLastGuardian4860d ago

Yep, and the single player demo on Febuary 15th. Can't wait. I'm hearing good things about playing this game with Move. I can't wait to try it out.

DORMIN4860d ago

Sorry, but that was a pretty terrible retelling of the KZ franchise.
You are better of watching the cutscenes on YouTube.

WTF is up with IGN's journalism lately.

alster234860d ago

you do know theyre meant to be more exaggerated and funny. if it makes you feel any better they did the same to some 360 exclusives

deadreckoning6664860d ago

Why do people who have a predetermined distaste for IGN's journalism continue to read and comment in IGN articles?

Bathyj4860d ago

Its not predetermined. We give them a fresh new chance everytime.

They just keep f*%#ing it up.

nix4860d ago

their quality already hit rock bottom.. but they have this new awesome drilling machine. i just hope they know there is a molten lava at the centre of the earth. q;

Bits-N-Kibbles4859d ago

^^^^ A new drilling machine.... took me a second to figure out you going with the literal comedy approach and then I laughed.

trancefreak4860d ago

Dormin it was meant to be funny which I thought it was.

Killustrious4860d ago

And they spelled VEKTA as VETKA.....

IGN sucks.

Mr Tretton4860d ago

It was annoying as hell hearing "Vetka" over and over again.

Good job IGN.

clrlite4860d ago (Edited 4860d ago )

Maybe they have been inhaling some of the fumes he was talking about in the video.

Few more hours until the open KZ3 beta :]

To be quite honest, I couldn't follow the story. All I knew I had to do was shoot guys with glowing orange eyes.....

Bits-N-Kibbles4859d ago

you should have played KZ1 instead of hopping on the bandwagon at KZ2.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor379d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar379d ago

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

jznrpg379d ago

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

badz149379d 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!

Vengeance1138379d 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 Kim379d ago

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

VersusDMC379d 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?

Vengeance1138379d ago

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

solideagle379d 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.

Phoenix76379d 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

thesoftware730379d ago (Edited 379d 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.

blacktiger379d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca379d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal379d ago

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

Imalwaysright379d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1130d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1130d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1130d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1130d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1130d ago
Vegamyster1130d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1130d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1130d ago (Edited 1130d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1130d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1129d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1130d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1130d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Knightofelemia1308d ago

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1308d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
