They can always do a reboot if the story is problematic these days.
The IP still has tons of potential and the fact Sony isn't even doing FPS game sucks. Both Killzone and Resistance were some of the best shooters last gen and they are sorely missed.

Mercenary was a solid game. I rarely replay things but the level design and contracts system added a lot of value to the game; I played it stealthily the first time (lots of paths and weapons to support that) and then went loud my second time through. It and Tearaway are easily my favourite VITA games. It'a sad it never got a home console release because I think people would've liked it. I also have no idea they made it work on a handheld because it looked great and played very well, it's a real technical marvel.
Would of liked a Killzone on PS5 due to loving KZSF, both campaign and multiplayer hit a good spot with me.
What bugs me about the Killzone series is there was so much lore leading up to the first game in the series. If Guerrilla wanted to, they could make a game called "Killzone Origins" about the very early days of the Helghans meeting people from Earth and having it be a similar game to Horizon. Not everything has to be a grim/gritty shooter.
This probably also kills any hope of a remaster of Killzone 2 and 3. What a wasted opportunity by Sony. Shame, I loved this series. Felt different and fresh compared to most shooters.
I hope GG is at least working on a FPS even if it isn't Killzone. They have far too much talent creating good gunplay for it to not be used in a FPS
I've actually been playing Shadow Fall's multiplayer as of late, and while I do have a few issues with the game this time around compared to 2 and 3, it's still a very solid foundation to build off of. I hope they still give the franchise another chance in the future as multiplayer FPS games seem to currently be in a decline, and it would be a shame to lose what I feel was one of the better series at the genre's peak.
Yeah, I agree, Shadowfall was awful, but Killzone had potential and Mercenary and Killzone 2 were good games, so why not give another chance ? The potential is there, maybe give the IP to another studio, Horizon and Killzone can coexist
No point in platformers because Mario has the crown of that genre.
No point in RPGs because Street Fighter.
No point in racing games because Gran Turismo.
Just a silly thing to say. Killzone was definitely different enough to Call of Duty to warrant an audience.
It's a pretty bad game, the campaign at least. Perhaps that's why.
It's really rough around the edges, just feels rough, level design very poor, and frustrating.
Plus, the multiplayer wasn't effectively monetised. You could buy voice packs and a few skins, but not much else. I bet most people didn't buy anything.
So there's nothing to gain giving it away for free. You sour people on the IP by exposing them to a title that isn't up to par, and you don't get a return because it's not monetised very well.
holy shit what a projection, who the hell asked for a generic shooter?
plus if anyone is angry it's your weird ass that's getting emotional over someone asking for a shooter, and trying to insult people. if you don't like it, move the hell on. no one is forcing you.
i think in this context the verb you're looking for is begging. you're begging sony for a shooter lolholy shit what a projection, who the hell asked for a generic shooter?

and that makes you an irrationally angry weirdo because...
are you hurt that someone is asking for something that you don't enjoy?
is your life gonna change for the worst if they somehow made this game?
KZ2, 3, & Shadowfall prioritized a level of artistic polish in FPS's that I badly miss. Nothing else looked and felt quite like them.
Thread went to shit quick.
Killzone doesn't have the imagery capitol of Star Wars, but it is the same thing. Resist space nazis.
But GG moved on, and stopped making fascist imagery to be exploited,

I know, killzone 2 multiplayer was godtier. My favorite game on ps3. We need a remastered version on ps5.
Sorry folks, I am an aspiring PS5 owner, and I put Guerilla Games in the same basket as Quantic Dream. Massively overrated.
Yes it was. Shane we never got a remastered version on ps4. The multiplayer was so addicting. They need to port that over to ps5.
Are people in power armour considered cool? Why is that imagery considered cool? What was Killzone's main attraction? That last question is answered by Playstation All Stars. The glowy eyed space nazis,
Never cared for them anyway. Not terrible, but certainly not great. If anything, Horizon was the best they've made and I still think that was average. As beautiful as GG are, I can't get into their catalog. And I know I'm going to fall for it again when HZD2 drops.
I honestly feel the same about so many Sony IPs.
A lot of people feel like one IP should die instead of just being given to some other developer.
There is always a variety of excuses. Sometimes it is the devs making a new IP so that means the old ones must die. Sometimes someone hates an IP so they believe nobody should ask for a revival.
If people don't like an IP then feel free to ignore it. No need to buy every game after all.
In this particular case I feel like Killzone could have so many cool spins on it. A Dishonored style Mercenary sequel where you take contracts and kill targets in a variety of different situations. An open world Falllout esque game where you go to different planets and locations that could allow you to explore the universe. An RTS game similiar to Red Alert. A straight sequel/reboot to the main series.
There is so much they can do with the series and I would love them to try something with it.
Not too surprising. I thought there was a chance Guerilla's MP game was Killzone related. But just as likely it's in the Horizon universe or a new IP I suppose .
It really wasn't that deep, Radec sounded cool and had neat abilities... that was it. Think you're just looking for a reason to be upset.
For some reason this makes me feel sad and old at the same time. Newer generation of kids is never gonna know of this series and how much it pushed things forward on the PlayStation side. Rest in Peace
I literally just picked up Killzone Mercenaries for the first time in forever last night and this happens the same night... fuck man... this series should be rebooted or something.
I still think that if it was affordable, Sony should buy up Raven Software to make new KZ games.

Killzone died when they closed Cambridge Studio ("Guerrilla Cambridge). Absolute dogshit move.
They made the best Killzone game with Killzone Mercenary. It's done now. Let it rest. Guerrilla's nex games will be Horizon Forbidden West and a new multiplayer IP, as it looks like. So yeah, let's see what they got.

Yeah the game was a mess as much as it was anticonsumer, right. Sometimes I wonder if people pay attention to the words they use?!?
