Another Sony IP that ends up with Ape Escape, Jak and Daxter, and the many other beloved games they've just thrown away for no reason

The reason is they're not huge sellers.

Why would they? its not the most liked series in their lineup.

Neither was Wipeout and that one got a remaster. Demon's Souls and Shadow of Colossus even got full remakes. Heck they even made Shadow Fall their big PS4 launch game. The franchise had and has a solid fanbase.

All I want is a Killzone 2 remaster with running servers. A game that was both a considerable financial success and won critical acclaim. And not even that is happening :(

Look but the gun play was not solid. Everything isnt about looks, the gun play has to be addicting enough to keep you playing and it wasn't. It was too weighted

The gunplay was great. The weighty feeling would be significantly reduced in a remaster due to reduced input lag.

People really enjoyed KZ2.

Yeah but it didn't -feel- good when compared to other FPS games out there, Resistance included.
If it did the game and series would have been bigger.

Felt great to me, especially after the update to the controls with the high precision setting. I typically play with high sensitivity and I remember gelling well with my own sweet spot, can't speak for anyone else. Since I mentioned Gears earlier, I managed to acclimate to the gap between firing your gun and the bullets actually materialising with the host advantage that game was notorious for - by 2009 I was ready for it lol.

Aside from that there are a couple of things I think that would have impacted the game more. The campaign itself is great with the locales, battle scenarios and atmosphere but the story and characters are pretty milquetoast in comparison to the competition at the time. In terms of MP I think it was necessary to play as a team, especially in the Warzone mode with shifting objectives. Engineer turrets and drones, grenade spam, having to fight your way out of spawn (I personally relished this, reminded me of Wake Island BF2 lol), lack of fully regenerating health, how to source ammo, complex map design, squad system and revives and importantly having to unlock most of your abilities per class kinda meant that joining any later than launch put you at quite a disadvantage (not sure if I'm remembering that correctly)... It was hectic with a lot of systems and visual noise when playing but that's what I loved about it.

I think there's more than just the controls that would have pushed most away, though I wouldn't doubt they were a difficult hurdle for many.

Or perhaps, I've and many others anjoyed the game more than you and have better taste, how about that? I don't think you read my comment or for the matter understood it, I was referring to your incorrect comment about the MP dying fast, which if you have played the game, you would have known that the MP was active and only with active MP, you can obtain the MP trophies. Now here I'm going to use a word that you like to use, Lmao, at your comment about abandoning an IP, they made 4 games and was time to move on although all KZ games sold pretty well. But hey if you say the game was a mess, it must be true.

PS.
Wonder how would you describe BF4 launch, flawless? 😂

My dude u literally only hear about kills one on forums let alone shadows all. BF4 had a terrible launch and it still managed to be more successful than the space nazi game.
