Camp Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Did Sony announce a sequel to Killzone on both PS2 and PS3? Some sites list the PS3 game as Killzone 2 while others also show "Killzone PS3" and "Killzone 2" for PS2. I just don't remember Sony announcing another PS2 game.

dogbert Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Killzone 2 was originally for the PS2 & was moved to the PS3 quite a while back, or so the gossip goes. Wonder if that's where the confusion comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Possible news of A PS3 Killzone demo???? Remember this game? We haven't heard much about Guerilla's Killzone 2 since it appeared in video CG form back at E3 ages ago. The studio and Sony Computer Entertainment went dark on the title after the E3 presentation. Rumors pointed at the game's intended resurgence at their pre-launch Gamers' Day event last year. Ultimately, if the rumors are to be believed, Sony shelved showing Killzone 2 in favor of spotlighting Insomniac's new shooter franchise (and it will be a franchise) Resistance. The same rumors have pointed to Killzone 2 being much further along than previously expected -- with the apex of the rumor arc concluding that the game has been playable online for almost a year. Microsoft and Bungie's beta program for Halo 3 is all the rage this Spring. It's garnered countless news stories with its multiple points of entry and even landed a cover in EGM back in November (I expect the beta to be similar but with more weapons and polish to the maps covered in that series of stories). Aside from the obvious connection between Killzone and Halo being first-party developed shooters and the first Killzone being branded with the unfortunate moniker of "Halo-killer," the ties between these games are going to bind even closer this Spring. Expect a playable Killzone 2 demo to be released (hmm, Phil Harrison is keynoting at GDC...) before gamers are participating in the beta for Halo 3.

GunnerX Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 So they're expecting Killzone 2 to be the Halo 3 killer this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Cool. What is the source for the rumor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 So Microsoft claims that Halo 3 would go head to head and derail the PS3 launch. That didn't happen. Now Killzone 2 is going to derail the Halo 3 launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 So Microsoft claims that Halo 3 would go head to head and derail the PS3 launch. That didn't happen. Now Killzone 2 is going to derail the Halo 3 launch. That's like trying to stop a giant angry ape full of overweight 12 year-olds with a badminton racket.

Derrik Draven Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yeah, I'm not really sure Killzone 2 can derail Halo 3. Doesn't really matter to me either way since I'll prob have a PS3 by the time Killzone 2 comes out and, I hope it really IS killer! More gaming goodness for all of us. BUT...Halo 3 is (going out on a small limb here) probaby, PROBABLY not going to suck. The installed fan base is ridiculous and rabid. The pre hype is already pretty damn big and Bungie/Microshaft really haven't been hyping it much. It's just the "halo thing" taking on a life of it's own. If the beta ends up being a smash hit and really is good gaming, hype for the full game is gonna be stoopid big. It's my opinion that Killzone just isn't a big enough name, known by enough people, to have too much of an effect on the halo machine. Sony will have to hype and promote it HEAVILY. Not too mention, the game is really going to have to deliver the goods. I honestly hope it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I dig Killzone simply for the art in the game. It had some nice levels and decent ideas but horrible sound and too many dull levels kept it down. Still, there is enough there to build on for a sequel. I'm hopeful.

Bruce B Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Not sure if this is prerendered or actual gameplay but I love this video: http://www.myarcadeplanet.com/articlenav-130-page-2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Um, unless I was looking at the wrong thing, that was the E3 that became a joke after everyone concluded it was a total fake. Right? Or maybe I clicked on the wrong thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yea, that's the same pre-rendered trailer that's been around for 2 years now. Had me excited for a second though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Haven't there been rumblings of this getting shown at E3 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 At GDC they showed the game. But it was very rough and was universally meh-ed. They said even the video was compressed poorly making it look worse that it should have been. I think they joked that Sony is intentionally lowering expectations so they can blow us away. Haven't there been rumblings of this getting shown at E3 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
