Killzone 2 Engine Being Used In Unannounced Games

Gameguru.in recently heard about the powerful upgrade planned out for the Killzone 2 engine, to improve upon its versatility for future projects. Now there is information trickling down that the engine might actually be put to use for other projects kept as closely guarded secret within Sony's camp.

RememberThe3575415d ago

Sony, if you love your fans give us a Syphon Filter PS3.

They probably wont, but I can wish. As long as they stick to quality games I will stick to buying them.

gamesR4fun5415d ago

stil with kz2 graphics its gonna be pretty but imma kinda hoping to see em do something different.

Polluted5415d ago

Hell yeah. I hadn't played Syphon Filter since the PS1 days, but I just finished Dark Mirror on the PSP and it totally reminded me how awesome that series really is.

Technically speaking they have been putting out Syphon Filter games regularly since the original came out. They just end up in weird places like on the PSP. I think we'll see a PS3 game eventually.

It would be cool if they put Jaffe to work on it after he finishes up with Twisted Metal (or whatever he's up to).

LordMarius5415d ago

crossing my fingers that Sony stopped Jaffe from making Twisted Metal with the Warhawk engine and force him to work with the KZ2 engine

Pistolero5415d ago

Hell yeah...Twisted Metal with the Killzone 2 engine would be killer!

DragonWarrior_45415d ago

No, really? And let me guess, the Earth is round and Santa Claus isn't real. Sony would be dumb to not cash in on what could be the most bad ass engine in gaming console history. Yes its my opinion, but to my understanding Guerrilla said that they only used 60 % of the ps3's power with Killzone 2. I cant imagine what they do in the future.

mistajeff5415d ago

Oh man, seriously, I REALLY can't wait for a Syphon Filter PS3. Bend is totally capable, especially with an engine like this.. hell, the PSP Syphon Filters have been better than almost all 3rd person shooters this gen. I'm always surprised at how unique their objectives are.

If they do it, they should totally offer a control option where you strafe with L2/R2.. ah man, I lost so many hours of my middle-school life to those first 2 games..

heroprotagonist5415d ago

This engine is so impressive. The texture detail, the amount of light sources it can handle, the geometry, the per-object motion blur, and all the other amazing post processing effects it handles is truly a thing of beauty. Killzone 2 is still the best looking game I have ever seen on consoles. I really hope this is true and we will see other games using this powerful engine.

cayal5415d ago

I still want Legend of Dragoon 2.

ZombieNinjaPanda5415d ago

Really?

I recall asking Seb this and he said they had no plans, or maybe it was at the time they weren't going to do that..

Eitherway good to hear, means we'll have to see what they're making. Maybe to please all those idiots who didn't like killzone 2's physics and weightedness.

heroprotagonist5415d ago

The physics and weightiness are some of the best things about Killzone 2.. I don't know why some people like floatiness so much. Killzone 2 nailed the way it should feel. It's not perfectly realistic but it approximates it in an enjoyable way.

iamtehpwn5415d ago

They have the best hardware and many of the best developers on their side. Thus, they want to keep the steam boating going and show Ps3's technical edges over it's competitors.

Using Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2's engines are a mighty damn fine way ensure developers can make High quality Ps3 games.

ZombieNinjaPanda5415d ago

Hero:

I agree, that's why I cannot play COD anymore. It's just too weightless, too much like you're not holding a gun or anything. The controls are too generic to me now. The only time I can do that is now on a pc.

SnuggleBandit5415d ago

please announce these "unnanounced games" in our three hour press conference at gamescom :)

fuckoffodion5415d ago

Use the engine for an RPG. That would be awesome!

heroprotagonist5415d ago

An RPG with this engine would be cool. Imagine a game like Demon's Souls using an engine like this, it would be amazing. although to be honest Demon's Souls looks pretty good as it is.

ultimolu5415d ago

HOLY SH*T, IMAGINE AN RPG WITH THAT ENGINE?!

:o Just wow.

ABizzel15415d ago

There are so many games, that could be remade. Syphon Filter, Legend of Dragoon, Twisted Metal, Heavenly Sword 2, Final Fantasy 7, Resistance 3, Warhawk 2, and so much more.

mfwahwah5415d ago

An RPG with this engine? That would fill up a blu ray real nicely :)

jack_burt0n5415d ago

why would syphon filter use the KZ2 engine!? bend are local to naughty god and the uncharted 2 engine is perfect for it.

TheReaper425414d ago

wish the devs that are making DARKSIDERS would be able to use this engine.. cause man, game trailers look good, but the ingame screen shots look like PSP's graphic =/

Rampant5414d ago

Secret PS3-games! What's next?

SuperM5414d ago

Bend is already working on Syphon Filter for the PS3. They have been hiring next generation programmers with PS3/360 experience so that pretty much confirms it.

RealtorMDandDC5414d ago

Is being worked on as we speak...........

Syphon Filter would be a great game to use upgraded optimized Killzone 2 engine.....

dragonyght5415d ago

so it begins

*sn* ya i remember reading somewhere last year that Syphon Filter PS3 was in the work there was a claim that it was gonna use killzone engine and to be disappointing that Syphon Filter ,wardevil and 8 days were no show at e3

Bigbangbing5415d ago

yeah I remember reading about that too, and didn't they cancel 8 days?

Syphon Filter using KZ2 Engine and will be shown at E32010. let the HYPE BEGIN!!!

mistajeff5415d ago

Yeah, unfortunately they did cancel 8 days for some reason.. but I remember that Syphon Filter rumor and I'm praying that it's true.

heroprotagonist5415d ago

I'm with you guys there, Syphon Filter is such a great franchise and I really hope we will see a new game soon. A Syphon Filter with this engine would be amazing.

TheHater5415d ago

Do anyone really think Sony invested millions into the Killzone 2 engine just for the use for one game?

-EvoAnubis-5415d ago

Dude, that is EXACTLY what I was going to say. Sony didn't give GG all the time and money they needed to make this engine to just use it for Killzone 2. Now that the engine is done and optimized just for the PS3, we can look forward to many games that will use it, and use it very well.

TheHater5415d ago

What I want to know is, what studios will be using the Killzone 2 engine.
WE know that Insomniac games, Sonata Monica studio, Sucker Punch, and Naught Dog all have their own game engine. Which studios will be using this engine. Will Resistance 3 use the Killzone 2 engine? That is what I want to find out.

a_squirrel5415d ago

Man, Sony's got a lot of awesome engines... lets hope the games are as good :)

poopsack5415d ago

"Will Resistance 3 use the Killzone 2 engine?'

orgasm achieved, as long as they keep the vibrant visual style im in.

OGharryjoysticks5415d ago

I'm wondering. Was it the graphics in general as a bland term or the ammount of work put on the disc that made KZ2 really stand out? Because I'm thinking it was because the game comes in close to 50 gigs that made the difference.

J@D5415d ago (Edited 5415d ago )

I could imagine a nice RPG with that engine as a core *drools**drools*

now, back to topic. That's a interesting thing to heard... now Sony make one of my dreams come true and make a RPG with K2 engine :)

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-ro70d ago

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

darthv7270d 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_70d ago

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

Cacabunga70d ago

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

Profchaos70d ago (Edited 70d 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

seanpitt2370d 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!

Iceball200070d ago

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

Father__Merrin70d ago

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

InUrFoxHole70d ago

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

Marcus Fenix70d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198970d ago

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

1Victor70d ago (Edited 70d 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 😱

Michiel198970d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar374d ago

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

1Victor374d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar374d ago

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

jznrpg374d ago

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

badz149373d 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!

Vengeance1138374d 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 Kim374d ago

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

VersusDMC374d 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?

Vengeance1138374d ago

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

solideagle374d 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.

Phoenix76374d 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

REDGUM374d ago

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

thesoftware730374d ago (Edited 374d 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.

blacktiger374d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca374d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal374d ago

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

Imalwaysright374d 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."

shinoff2183746d ago

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

shinoff2183746d 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

badz149745d 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.
