I just don't understand why Sony spend (presumably) a ton of money for a TLOU Remake (a game that has a Remastered Version already) instead of way less money on a Remastered Collection of Killzone 2/3. Just whyyyyy :(

Killzone 2 is over 13 years old... Can we get a remake/remaster..?

Still the best game in the series so hell yes. Would gladly take the ability to do hour+ long Warzone matches thanks to an awesome server browser model again.
I'd really like a Killzone Trilogy where 2/3 are basically remasters and 1 is a complete Remake.
I gotta admit, for a game that's like 13 or 14 years old, the death the death animations are just fantastic. KZ2, in particular just oozes AAA charm. Even though it's got some awful input lag, that game just looked marvelous when I played it in 2009. It's still a looker today. I would definitely pay for a 4K 60 re-release.A KZ2 thread without gifs? Heresy!
You're sleeping on the true best game in the series.
Trapped on PS3, much like most of the series. No multiplayer, either, if I recall.
TLOU is far, far more popular than Killzone ever was.
Maybe it was the circles I ran in, but I'm honestly surprised to see how many people look back on Killzone so fondly.
We need bluepoint to do what they did with the uncharted collection. Bundle the trilogy. Get it running at 4K 60 frames. Clean up the textures on the original title.
It's audience imo is passionate, but niche. Especially since I think people really mostly just regard Killzone 2 as exceptionally good, while the other games are more just okay to decent.
It makes sense to me that Sony care about other franchises, but it doesn't make sense to me that they'd just fully abandon a viable fanbase like this. Idk, it just feels like they can give a team that wants to do killzone a doube-A budget and tell them to make a decentish game based on that just to satisfy the FPS nerds.
Killzone, infamous, resistance, uncharted, god of war, motorstorm, ratchet collections on ps4, ps5 and pc are no brainer. Especially they have now entered the pc market which can increase the sales potential exponentially. Anything good starting from PS3 era still age very well to this day and shouldn't die on 1 system.
I would love another Killzone akin to 2 and 3. I might go replay 2 and 3 this weekend actually (I've played KZ1 enough times). Too bad I can't dip my toe into the MP. I played the crap out of those back in the day. I even fired up Killzone 3 MP before it was taken offline for one last hurrah, I never usually do that when games are taken offline.
Yea I loved the street to street skirmishes, where it felt like a battle of attrition.
I agree. Sony has really cranked back the first party output and I don't get it. PS3 got 2 Killzone games, 3 Uncharted games and 3 Resistance games. PS4 got 1 Killzone games, 1.5 Uncharted games, and 0 Resistance games. PS5 has been out for 18 months and has 0 games out or planned/announced of any of these franchises.
KZ2 was in another league - the multiplayer had such a solid support and engagement. Loved that city level with the walking bridge between the two buildings in the middle of the map that went over the main street. Such brutal gunfights right there burned into my memory lol
Yah i'd pick a remaster/collection up in a heartbeat. Love that chirp

I loved the use of the touchpad in Killzone Shadowfall. The multiplayer in that game was so good as well
every time I tried to get into Killzone I could just never get past the controls and feel. Great graphics/presentation but man if they ever do remake it, they'd have to overhaul that, which would probably in turn piss off OG fans.

I have a very soft spot for Killzone Mercenaries. I loved how it took somehow the multi route aspect of the original but twisted and framed it as a half immersive sim / challenge contracts device. The campaign also dwelves into cool implications and lore, I especially enjoy the exfiltration of the ambassador's kid and his giant helghan heavy gunner bodyguard.
Sadly GG (and Insomniac) haves moved on to greener pastures…I would love to see another entry or remake/remasters of Killzone and Resistance. Sony should at least attempt to get a high quality FPS into their current library.
I sort of think it might make some sense to try and reboot one of those as a VR title. Resistance might make more sense as I think it has the more interesting setting, and Insomniac already has some VR experience.
We all through Guerrilla Cambridge was going to be the Killzone dev after Mercenary, I'm still surprised Sony cut them loose, even more than Evo and Zipper.
Unfortunately the franchise is distinctly mediocre within its genre, which probably explains why Sony have let it lie.
Killzone 2 had some interesting ideas, particularly the controls, and is still an incredible looking game from the art to the tech, but overall the franchise is extremely lacking compared to games it is trying to compete with.
Weirdly I kind of remember the original game as my favourite after Killzone 2, and always thought the lore was excellent. Shame the game design could never match it. Shadowfall is a legitimate turd. Killzone 3 was bargain bin stuff.

This. I remember playing it for hours upon hours when it released. It was unlike anything else I had every played.
Sure, but I'm still sort of let down on it being another FPS instead of what Liberation offered. That lack of an extra analogue stick let them get creative with the gameplay. Same with Resistance Retribution.
I'd be interested in remasters of KZ2 and 3 just out of technical curiosity. These games were burdened with reaching an impossible technical goal (the E3 2005 demo), and in the pursuit they pushed the PS3 further than most other games. It'd just be cool to see how they clean that up two consoles later, if all the post-processing holds up, if they can get the input lag down, if they can make the Radec fight less bullshit, etc.
For some reason I've noticed TLOU fans can't imagine the games possibly looking any better than TLOU2 does, despite Naughty Dog having achieved those graphics on a base PS4.
Honestly if a TLOU1 remake is PS5-only, that's still a two console-generation difference from the original version which could mean a massive visual upgrade over even TLOU2.

A masterpiece despite it's flaws. Killzone 2 is one of my favorite shooters ever. The graphics still hold up to this day, and the multiplayer was so addicting despite the lag. I poured hundred of hours into this game. I would love a remaster on PS5.A KZ2 thread without gifs? Heresy!
Remake would be interesting but a proper sequel as a reboot even better. GG can pull off wonders.
KZ2 is my favorite game in the series (followed by Mercenary, then Liberation). So much unrealized potential. The lore is interesting enough that they could've tried other genres. I don't think Guerrilla quite knew what to do with it after 2, but I would've really liked to see Cambridge get a proper shot at it. Shame that it never came to fruition.
I've mentioned this every time we've had these threads for years, but just the multiplayer alone with all the maps + DLC would be an instant buy for me. Just reduce the input lag and it would be perfect. Loved the recoil of the weapons, Hollywood-style explosions, gritty atmosphere, heavy post-processing that gave it this distinct look that still holds up very nicely today.
