Shame, unlike horizon i actually liked killzone

 

[adamsapple]

Is it a shame? They dumped a mediocre franchise and the studio went on to make the biggest new IP PS has seen in a long time. As much as people on this site want to hate on Horizon it's one of Sony's best selling franchises.

It's a shame because other than Concord, Sony first party hasn't put out an FPS in year(s), Insomniac has also abandoned the Resistance IP.

They moved to VR between Killzone Shadow Fall and Concord. Blood & Truth was Sony's best FPS.
I believe Insomniac pitched a new Resistance to SCE back in 2018, but it was denied.

 

[EN250]

Hope they're done with Horizon story soon, because I'm done with it as well, idgaf about the lame ass human story, just lemme create my own character so I can shoot robodinos and capture/manage them as I please

None if these franchises were doing much anyway. Resistance had a cult following by its 3rd entry really.

 

[Killer8]

They need to give the Killzone series to Nixxes next. Full remake of KZ1 and 4K60 remasters of 2, 3 and Shadow Fall, with online.

Because Bluepoint sure as fuck aren't going to be doing it any more, now they've put on their big boy pants and want to make new IPs (snore).

 

[Hypereides]

Missed opportunity to not divide Guerrilla into two teams. One carrying Horizon and the other continuing Killzone. Then cycle between the two. We're coming full circle where a new Killzone game, in the vein of KZ2, would be refreshing for a change.

 

[Crayon]

I could see returning to killzone, but it's not even time yet. At least imo. It would need to be a full on revival when they can really do something new with it.

Lotta people in denial about horizon. If you think it's not good- okay. I hope you aren't sitting there playing some shit like watchdogs out the other side of your mouth, though. If you think it's some waste of time to work on and they should turn to killzone, you are not appreciating reality. It's very popular.

 

[Elginer]

"we needed to refresh the palette."

time to refresh palette again then. we have enough horizon for now.

This so fucking much! Were done here, move the fuck on.

 

[TheKratos]

Dumb Dutch fuckers! Give me more KZ, or remaster 1 and 2.

 

[Mayar]

Honestly, I got tired of Horizon much faster than I did with Killzone. After the second Horizon game, I completely lost interest in this franchise, and it seems to me that they brought the game's plot to such a dead end and the bar dropped so low after the stupid DLC that I'm not sure how they want to continue this.

So if they don't want to do Killzone (which is very sad), then give this franchise to another studio. I hope that they will do something else besides Horizon, for example, a new IP.

 

[Saber]

Done with Killzone to continue with Horizon Herman fetish, wow what a trade off.
You could at least try to change abit. That goes to Santa Monica too.

 

[Spiral1407]

In a game where you basically interact with its world through guns? Yeah! Pretty nitpicking of me, right? Oh, and I have played my fair share of bad games. I bought that Turok game for PS2...

Except the new guns aren't bad, they're just different. And there's more to the experience than what bullets they fire. The aesthetics, environmental interactions, sound design, enemy AI/reactions etc are all stellar, which would outweigh any problems you have with them being different from the first game.

If Killzone 2 is your bar for a horrible game, then there aren't even any words in the English language to describe what something like Sonic 06 or Gollum is. But I guess that's your (very unpopular) opinion, so you do you buddy...

 

[jm89]

Dissapointing to here.

But can't blame guerrilla, fact is playstation fans never supported killzone enough.

I played the multiplayers until they died. Sucked that people didn't give it a chance. Warzone was amazing.

 

[SCB3]

Thats fine, I'd be happy with a Remastered collection tbh, 2, 3 and the PSP games are pretty good still

 

[Iced Arcade]

No surprise the studio got exited when they released a hit

 

[The Cockatrice]

They barely made two Horizon games, lol.

Your account is from 2019, you should be aware that this is one of the most common things out there (look at the best selling game on Switch!), and I don't really think HZD is that modern anymore; it's close to being a frickin' decade old at this point.
Anyway, the remaster is made by Nixxes, and if you count the co-development work they did as a Guerrilla project, then Lego Horizon should be is of a different thing (gameplay wise) compared to their other games, so I believe you should be happy?

Ok Herman Hulst. Whatever you say. Keep making Horizon babies.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

I want a Killzone 2 remake with psvr2 you bastards.

 

[bender]

No surprise the studio got exited when they released a hit

Yep. Horizon's sales figures always surprise me and it is hard to argue against success.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

What a shame. Sony doesn't have any decent first party single player FPS games in its current lineup of active franchises.

Yeah but at least we got concord……

 

[nial]

Ok Herman Hulst. Whatever you say. Keep making Horizon babies.

I accept your concession.

 

[user friendly]

Fine, I'm done with Guerilla then

 

[rubenburgt]

So we went from bland palette to bland characters.

Yeah... That's an improvement...

(I miss Killzone.)

 

[chokotoureiki]

Their next IP will have pretty rainbow colors and wonderful magical characters that make you sing and dance and cry but it will have bland gameplay.

 

[SHA]

Back in Killzone days, I heard the term Killzone, specifically after 2, a generic shooter thousand times, the community are bunch of scumbags, it deserves a rest.

 

[Shadowstar39]

I'd be fine with a remastered collection on ps5. Do kz1-3 plus Mercenary. (shadowfall is shit and doesn't deserve the title. It really was so boring and felt rushed, pretty but that's about it. )

Sub out another team to do a new Killzone or remake Killzone 1 and do it in the killzone 2 style, mixing in the buying system of mercenary. Mercenary was the best handheld Shooter ever, and its stuck on the vita

 

[Shadowstar39]

Still to this day I love the movement and gameplay in KZ2 more than any other shooter. Everyone complained about the controls and momentum but I was on that really enjoyed it. MP was fun too.

Yep. It was one multiplayer game I loved (along with resistance 2, warhawk and bad company 2) that had it's own style. After that everything tried to copy cod and sucked accordingly.
I had more fun on the kz1 ps2 remaster on the kz trilogy disc than kz shadowfall.

I really wish we still had original shooters with single player campaigns and their own multiplayer modes like we did in the ps360 gen.

 

[yogaflame]

Wasted opportunity. This should have been there MP or live service game just like helldiver 2, instead of that twisted agenda infested flop Concord.

 

[Astray]

It's an IP that was primarily pushed to be a "Halo Killer" that prevents PS players from going Xbox for Halo.

Halo is now a shell of its former self, there's nothing to "kill" there anymore, hence the end of Killzone.

 

[farmerboy]

They may be done with it but I'm not.

I'd like to see another Killzone. Even if someone else makes it.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

tech is cool, game just doesnt appeal

would love to see a balls-to-the-wall tech killzone that leans a little more toward metroid prime and less COD

 

[Roberts]

Those two or three Killzone games I have played weren’t great or anything but they were still better than HZD.

 

[Evildoomnerd]

At least remaster KZ2 you fucks. Also port KZ Mercenary from Vita to PS4 and PS5.

This is all I wanted. I'd love to see these with a higher frame rate.

 

[kyussman]

Love the premise and lore of Killzone......shame they never delivered on it in game.That Killzone 2 multiplayer though........RIP the chirp.

 

[kevboard]

"we're done copying CoD, now we copy Ubisoft!"

 

[EDMIX]

At least remaster KZ2. Best MP of all time. The visuals at 4k 120fps would be bonkers.

nah, it needs that remake treatment in Decima engine!

 

[Radical_3d]

"we're done copying CoD, now we copy Ubisoft!"

 

[sachos]

They could at least give us a Remastered Collection, including all games. The games look good enough artistically that simple 4K60 would do wonders to it.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Both Horizons are selling way better than all killzones together.

Hell, even HZD only.

 

[Katatonic]

I'll just take a fan made game using the KZ2 engine at this point. That one game had the best console FPS gunplay since Halo: CE imo.

 

[Kurimao]

Confirmed of all Sony`s first party developers Guerilla is my least most wanted. Hope they burn & crash as possible.
Love live Hellghan.

 

[Danjin44]

I was already done with Horizon after the first game.

 

[FoxMcChief]

What a coincidence. I’m done with GG due to their boring Horizon games.

 

[SABRE220]

Well, its time to refresh the palate again because they need a break from horizon. They are becoming a horizon only studio and are even pushing out a damn multuplayer/mmo....go back to Killzone for a change of pace and actually put in effort and learn from what made kz2 amazing instead of pushing shit out like shadow fall[multiplayer was pretty decent though]. A reimagining of kz1/2 or maybe even a prequel could be amazing hell even a kz2 remaster would be amazing as ps5 is seriously lacking in good shooters.

Also really missing the resistance series, a remake/reimagining of that series would be so good.

 

[Toons]

Fair enough, can you be done with Horizon though now? It would be good to see something a bit different using the technology.

In what universe would that be a good business decision?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

In what universe would that be a good business decision?

I don't fucking care about whether or not it's a good business decision. I'm not a massive fan of the franchise, I'd like to see them to do something different to a third game or a multiplayer version of that game personally.

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

someone on neogaf said " you could put any character in horizon and it would deliver, they are not wrong, is not the character people cared about is the machines that they were fighting.

that game got boring after 1 hour tbh ill never buy another 1

 

[Toons]

I don't fucking care about whether or not it's a good business decision

Well of course you dont. Its not your money on the line.

But you csnt expect the actual business to what you want when the numbers don't back up doing so.

 

[CityHunter1981]

I liked the first Horizon game and went really hyped into Forbidden West, I don’t know why exactly, but I really hate the whole Franchise after FW…
