Everything in KZ2 from the gritty war atmosphere to even its delayed trigger input adding a weight like feel to their guns. I never had problems with it in the multiplayer Warzone & was always a rank topnotcher, chirp.
Loved everything except for those player wall hacks in the multiplayer, phucking cheaters.
Oh and phuck Sony & GG for abandoning this series.

I would like to see it. But I'm afraid that such a game doesn't fit the image that GG has built up with the Horizon franchise and is very successful with it.

KZ2 was my favorite FPS of the PS3 era.
KZ3 was a step back and KZSF outside of MP and a few campaign maps was a joke for me.
I wish Sony would remake or remaster KZ2 maybe even give us a KZ2 PSVR2 game.

Killzone on PS Move on PS3 was ahead on this
A trilogy remaster for PSVR2 on PS5 would be pretty cool

I love the whole series. There isn't one game that I dislike. The OG on PS2, the phenomenal KZ2, the still awesome KZ3 (in 3D with a motion control gun peripheral, no less), the massively underrated KZ:SF for PS4 and the two portable darlings Liberation and Mercenary. There isn't IMO a single bad title.

Whats the point of holding a plastic gun in a shooting game if the most a gamer moves it is half an inch?

The Killzone games were objectively not good games, which is why Guerrilla moved on and made the much more successful and better Horizon games.

In practice you don't want linear motion because you'd be flailing around a lot. Small motions to aim work on gyro control games.

Nah, horizon is one of the most cookie cutter open world games out there, robo dino’s and interesting plot aside
This series always felt carried by the presentation rather than gameplay. Input lag is just not fun assuming that was intentional. Most matches in KZ2 quickly turned into spawn camp fests with 80% of the map being ignored.
It is a shame though that they basically killed the series after KZ3 and KZSF weren't hits. It had potential to be a great shooter franchise if they could have made it a better overall experience instead of just being really pretty.

KZ2 is one of the FPS games of all time and shits on every Halo outside of Halo: CE.
Fuck the haterz!

Why fall? They just did horizon instead of keeping the same ip.

There is an alternate reality where killzone 2 got a great sequel and it's still a huge IP.
Only Halos I'd say it's better than is 4, 5 and maybe reach.

The game(s) never competed with Halo in really any capacity throughout it's lifecycle, it's best chance was maybe at launch of PS4, but by then, the competition was so fierce that most games were doing more interesting things.
Still a cool series, and I think if it wasn't touted as a "Halo Killer" it's expectations wouldn't have been set so high and people could have just enjoyed it as a cool and different Sci-Fi shooter telling a decent story.
As it stands, I don't really miss the series and would much prefer Guerilla stay with Horizon or even a new I.P. altogether again.

I played KZ1 and KZ2, and while 2 was a huge improvement over the first, I really disliked how sluggish it felt. Like it's one thing to feel heavy because it's intentional, but there was a ton of input lag in the controls. And sub-30 FPS didn't feel great, either. I imagine playing these games are RPCS3 is a better experience than native these days.

I think its time for KZ to return. Horizon needs to go on ice for a bit to avoid series burnout.

Killzone 2 still has some of the best death animations and blood effects in a first person shooter. Sony should have kept that formula. I don't know what they were smoking with Killzone Shadowfall, but I quite enjoyed Killzone 2, Killzone 3, and Killzone Mercenary.

Nothing beats those moments when you kamikaze your self in enemy camp to throw a spawn grenade, and then the bloodbath with one team crazy suicide spawning, and the other camping for the kills! Best team deathmatch ever!

Sony should reboot the KZ series for the PS5 and add PSVR2 support.

I miss Killzone. I loved kz2. Even bought it again with the trilogy to play the first one (which wasn't that bad, but it was ps2 which was way weaker than og Xbox so wasn't expecting much).
Kz3 seems like it got graphically sliced to accommodate 3d and move. It wasn't nearly as good, but still a fun game.
Kz shadowfall was shit. It looked great but it was boring and sterile. It was missing what made the other games so fun. It lacked in story and shooting wasn't good.
The best game outside of kz2 was on the vita. Killzone mercenary was amazing. It had what shadowfall was missing. I don't understand how that time line and game structure wasn't made into a mainline release on ps4. They were rumored to have that team making a ps4 game, but it never happened.
Then the woke shit started happening and all first person style story games stopped in the industry. So it's no surprising Kz got the axe. Sadly
For online I only ever played kz2, shadowfall and mercenary. I loved kz2 the most.

Why are these games stuck on older systems. It's annoying. My ps3 is borked and there is no ports of kz1-3, Kz mercenary, as well as other Sony first person titles like resistance trilogy and infamous. It's almost like they are ashamed of them. It's sad as these games were amazing. I'd buy trilogy or anthology collections day 1.

I only ever played Shadow fall on PS4 and I must be in the minority cause I thought it was great, it was graphically an absolute eyeball melter, the story was videogamey but held my interest and the levels had plenty of variety to keep me interested. It was a proper next gen game, something unseen on previous generations and a real show piece of the power of the PS4.
I'd definitely be up for a new PS5 only chapter especially considering how technically proficient GG are

Biggest issue with KZ for me is the complete narrative fumble. Killzone and Resistance completely squandered their respective narrative and I feel like that's why each IP didn't really engage with the masses.
I'd love to see a locked 60fps version of KZ2, that's a great game.

The first 3 games were solid. The 2nd was the strongest by a country mile and is the game that I would like to replay with non-sluggish controls. It’s probably one of my favourite FPS experiences ever and I would gladly pay for a remake or remaster. With the already clunky controls and input lag, there’s no way I’m playing these games using PS Now
Shadow Fall looked good, but it was boring as fuck and didn’t feature any of the tension and foreboding atmosphere the 2nd game had. 3 wasn’t perfect, but it did have nice weapons and environments and I did really like the mech suit things. Shadow Fall felt rushed to me and I really didn’t like the new weapon setup or the drone.
Mercenaries on Vita was gorgeous and while it wasn’t a traditional follow up, I still found it to be more enjoyable than SF. I would have liked a full on, expanded console version of Mercenaries, or even just a MP focused Killzone game that used Killzone 2’s multiplayer as it’s foundation. The controls were ass, but literally everything else about that game, including it’s online component, was brilliant.
I’ll take a Bluepoint remaster at a minimum please Sony.

I loved Killzone 2 and 3 - Shadow Fall was mediocre but the MP was awesome!

To me it was Shadow Fall that ruined the series, KZ2 and 3 were awesome, the whole atmosphere being in Helghan, felt like a real war being there. The gameplay and characters were also great, Sadly for me SF dropped all that and i could not connect with the game in any direction, tried it again a few months ago and no, just like generic FPS to me. I do like the 2 Horizon games and i don't see Guerrilla Games retuning to Kiilzone but man after KZ3 ending i had so high hopes for a sequel and SF was a huge letdown.

Killzone was a good series but calling it a halo killer was a stretch.

The Killzone IP I always have mixed feelings, the I.P. You can see the care of the developers to deliver a high quality title, but at the same time it lacks fun.
Graphically they are excellent, but I played the Killzone 2 titles and the one on PSP, but it made me too sleepy. I want to support them, but at the same time it is difficult.
