I tried googling and Wikipedia said kz2 sold a million units. So, not very good for AAA budget.

Do you want Sony to make an epic FPS campaign like Killzone 2 or Resistance 3 for PS5?

No that's an early number. Not much on Google, so I presume Sony didn't brag about it, indicative of lackluster sales.

Agreed, but all news about KZ2 sales is from April or May - 2009...

Then they could have sold even more this gen as Sony sold much more consoles than Xbox
The MP portion of Killzone Shadowfall needed a so much better SP portion.
Honestly, I think a reboot of Killzone and Resistance could seriously work. Imagine these games also going to PC at the same time too. I could both being popular on PC.

Well for me personally the fewer FPS games we have for a console the better. I mean that only as long as that energy goes into something else. Of course I don't care if we have 10 great FPS PS5 exclusive games and 10 great Third Person fantasy/RPG/combat/story/Zombie/etc. games, but I would rather have 0 FPS PS5 games and 20 other great games.
It should be noted that the multiplayer in Killzone Shadowfall was actually really good. It was the campaign that was weak.
Anyway, I wouldn't be opposed to a new FPS game from Sony. Though I'd really love to see another Warhawk most of all.

No, Killzone (outside of 2) and Resistance were okay at best. I say this as a Killzone fan. Guerilla Games is way too talented to waste their time on more Killzone.
I don't think Sony would be able to bring anything unique (while also being really good) to the FPS genre right now.

I would love to see an evolution of either of these series. Something along the lines of Metro Exodus. Or have multiple hub world's that progress linearly. Resistance is perfect for some survival elements and Killzone has some much potential to play around with larger more open hub world's.
Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 were my most played FPS last gen. I had the original Modern Warfare and never enjoyed it. Killzone 2's tech still shits on most shooters this gen too.
Yep

Yes and bring on the multiplayer too. Although the genre may have gotten little crowded last gen, Sony's chase for the next big MP title produced some pretty awesome titles. Stuff like Warhawk, Resistance 2 8-player co-op, MAG, TLOU MP, and of course Killzone 2 were great.
In terms of multiplayer they absolutely need to reboot SOCOM. If done correctly it could be a huge service based/ongoing game for Sony. With games like Overwatch/Fortnite/Apex there's a opportunity for a more tactical team based shooter to come back into the fold.
I would love to but it won't happen.
As much as I like that Sony is funding many AAA single-player games, they also know what sells the most copies. And it's TPP action-adventure games with open world or semi-open worlds. I don't believe they will fund another AAA single-player focused FPP shooter. Like, ever.

if you didn't like Modern Warfare it makes sense why you'd enjoy slop like Killzone or Resistance.
These studios have gone on to such better things I can't imagine why anyone would want them to go back to this bland, boring shit.
I don't think they are good in those genres, neither were on the quality of Halo or Cod/Destiny.
Sadly this might be true. Even if there is a new Killzone or Resistance it would probably shift in tone with more open levels, RPG elements, adventure and stealth sections, loot or a bigger focus on "social" gaming. This modern stuff ...
Feels like the bombastic single-player corridor shooter is dead appart from CoD campaigns. And that's a shame.
You clearly have no idea how aesthetic and personal preference works. I prefer sci-fi shooters, and Modern Warfare provided none of that. Do you know what shitposting is?
I know this is never how it'll go, but I'd be so bummed out if they returned to either of those franchises over a new IP. Especially Resistance. I was a huge fan of the Fall of Man, but Resistance 2 and 3 were just awful. I loved Killzone 2 as well, but not 3 or ShadowFall.
Having said that, if they could do a heavy reboot of either, I could probably get on board. But they'd really need to focus on the feel of the FPS.

Totally. I LOVED the Resistance series,had excellent campaigns and online.
In fact the Resistance sci fi setting was that interesting that I could see easily more games being set into the same universe

I'd like to see some next gen VR exclusive FPS campaigns from Sony. It's important to build games unique for the medium since it's too limiting to just add support for VR rather than build full fledged titles.
They should explore another top down shooter or something like xcom sorta like Gears tactics.
GG is definitely in a better spot now than ever but they must be working on Horizon 2.
Would be cool to put one of their studios to work on something like TF2 campaign. Not the same song or that just something as good and original. Maybe use a genre we don't see much, cowboys?
No. Focus on other games. There are already quite a few alternatives for those who want to play FPS games.
