Don’t expect to hop online for some multiplayer action, though - the Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 servers were shut down in 2018. Those who want to experience the Killzone franchise on modern devices are in luck, because the original trilogy and the last mainline game, Shadow Fall, are all available now on Sony’s on-demand game streaming service, PlayStation Now. Killzone Games: Platforms, Physical, Digital & How To Play Killzone games If you’re a gamer who cut their teeth on the shooters of the PS2 and PS3 era and you’re looking to bust a cap in some Helghast for old time’s sake, here’s where to play the Killzone games today. Nearly two decades since the original game first hit our PlayStation 2s, the Killzone series is fondly remembered as Sony’s solid flagship futuristic shooter. The Killzone series never did quite live up to the lofty expectations that came with Sony’s investment, though it did drum up a decent following over the years. Yet, despite the slightly mixed response from critics and gamers, Sony was so sure the franchise would come good that it funded multiple sequels. What players got instead was a drop-dead gorgeous futuristic shooter that was let down by its generic space Nazi plot and enjoyable, if repetitive, gunplay. Don’t doubt it for a second: the press will try to keep Microsoft afloat in this market at all costs, no matter how much shit MS puts out.Back in 2004, the media was convinced Killzone was going to be the “Halo killer,” a vague and ill-defined moniker for the game that would challenge Master Chief at the peak of his power. Sony is as much a ‘victim’ of this as Nintendo, I’m sure. They want headlines, and ‘a console has a bunch of great games, buy it’ is NOT a headline. Man, after ZombiU, LEGO, NSMBU, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, the best console versions of Splinter Cell and Rayman, Wind Waker HD and now a GOTY candidate in Mario 3D World, what MORE these guys want? Answer: they don’t.
Heck, some ‘analysts’ are still talking about the Wii U needing a ‘killer’ game.
You should take it with a grain of salt when you read ‘but there are few games’. Just saying that some perceptions are colored by the distorted view of the press – sometimes the same press that loves to ‘foresee’ the ‘doom’ of Nintendo. Not trying to defend Sony here, I don’t even have the PS4. Even if I am, that wouldn’t be a far cry from the four PS4 exclusives. The average here for both console does NOT hinge on exclusives only, so it isn’t true that the PS4 had way fewer titles available as some claim.Īlso, even distilling it down to exclusives, the Wii U may have more exclusives *now*, but at launch it was pretty much NSMBU, Nintendo Land, ZombiU and Funky Barn, unless I’m forgetting something else. Sure, but let’s not contaminate the actual numbers with poorly informed perception.
