Killzone 4? Guerrilla working on new Killzone game photo

The latest issue of EDGE magazine brings word that Guerrilla Games is hard at work on a brand new chapter of the Killzone series, which is not yet being called Killzone 4. Series producer Steven Ter Heide is said to be on board as director this time around. 

Studio recruiter Adrian Smith is quoted as saying, "We've got to continue the Killzone franchise" in the magazine. 

Guerrilla is also working on a brand new IP, while Studio Cambridge is bringing a Killzone game to the PlayStation Vita. There is also speculation that whatever the next Killzone chapter is, it might be prepped for the PlayStation 4 rather than PS3. The idea comes from recent news that one major Sony developer is already working on PS4 content.

Whatever's happening, I've always got time for red-eyed space fascists, so this is cool news!

I anxiously await another target render that's miles beyond what the game actually achieved. I kid. I kid.

I'm interested to revisit the Killzone universe but I'd rather see something new. I always get really excited for KZ games, but always feel let down after the sheen wears off.

Makes sense that it would be a PS4 launch title. I'd expect new entries in most of the Sony first-party IPs at that point. Looking forward to this, and a new Little Big Planet.

I'd love me some more Killzone on a new system, Killzone 2/3 pushed the PS triples pretty hard

The Arctic platform bit was still, for me, one of the most jaw-dropping levels I've ever seen in a videogame. KZ3 had some frustrations and annoyances, but it was still a great experience.

--Mild Spoiler--

So, I'm wondering, after that ending, will we see an invasion of Earth? That's kind of been done to death, but with a sci-fi setting it could be interesting, especially if they keep the environments varied like they did in KZ3.

More Killzone 2, less Killzone 3 please.

Killzone 2 MP was amazing.

While I enjoyed killzone 3 more, I cannot disagree about the online component.

Done to death or not, I'm fine with it since it's the natural progression of the story and makes sense in context.

And yeah, the arctic platform set piece was badass, but I preferred the giant trash compactor vehicle thing.

I love Killzone. It's my second favorite shooter (Unreal series is number one).

I can't wait to see whatelse they can do.r

K2 & 3 were radical AND badical to the max.

Although it's a launch game, the graphics better blow me away

I expect 1080p and, if there's a god, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio support. If that's the case then yes, there will be much blowing (the good kind).

After the utter shit that was the Killzone 3 campaign, I can't say I'm terribly interested in another one. The multiplayer was decent, but not enough to justify a purchase.

Still, I guess if they launch it with the PS4, make the campaign longer than 4 and a half fucking hours, dump those generic soldiers we've been forced to play as and give us some interesting protagonists, and give us a legitimate co-op offering instead of some half assed two player co-op campaign with no online support, than I might change my tune.

I agree that Killzone 2 offered the better MP experience, hopefully Guerilla notes this.

It could be that Killzone Vita game. I don't see how they can do a Killzone 4 since (Spoilers) there's only like 10 Helghan left at the end of Killzone 3

More Killzone is okay by me. It's worth buying for it's looks alone.

yay another crappy call of duty wannabe - cause that's really what we need now.
after Killzone 3 which was down right atrocious(and in terms of quality and content simply insulting to gamers) i really hoped they would just stop. you know there's something wrong when your game makes storylines from BF3 and CoD games not only good but also intelligent. add to the fact multiplayer that was seriously lacking(8 maps and 3 basic game modes are you kidding me?). there is fuckton of downloadable titles that give you more.
either make an effort working on the next game or don't do it at all.

This just in: Sofik dislikes a Sony game. We'll have more on this shocking development as the story breaks.

Come, now. Don't cast aspersions on a respected member of our community. You know as well as I that sofik is totally objective and unbiased.

On a related note, I'd love to call sofik up late at night and whisper "Jim gave Killzone 3 a 10", and let that sink into his subconscious. Oh, the nightmares that would spawn.

I'm suddenly reminded of The Ring. Phone rings late at night, a voice whispers "Killzone 3 got a 10." A week later, this happens...

Killzone 3 was one of the few shooters for me that got its very core down right. The shooting was just fun, every bullet that landed had a different visible effect on whoever it hit, the guns had the proper amount of kick and the sound was excellent on the guns. The plot was vapid and the color scheme drab but it was a very good shooter.

I finally got around to beating Killzone 3 the other day ...the story really is as horrible as everyone says it is. It was pretty fun as far as mindless shooters go, but I hope they do better with KZ4.

Killzone 3's campaign was awesome, just hope they fix multiplayer for 4.

Can't they do something else? Killzone 2 was fair and probably the last shooter I played to completion. But enough with the Nazis already. Nazis in space are still Nazis. Are all games going to one day converge into military shooters with MMO roleplaying elements?

You know what was the problem with Killzone 3? Guerrilla created a vapid plot to cater to guys like sofik. Yes, it backfired on them, so hopefully they get rid of wash-ups like Martin Connor (MP Director brought from Pandemic :ugh:) and focus on making the MP strategic again and the Campaign more aware of itself.

First off, ditch the Helghast. They're done for, you forced the hand, Guerrilla, now it's time to create a species that is far more menacing. When Vekta is brought to committee for actions taken upon Helghan, this species arrives above Earth and is looking to eliminate all other celestial beings to declare their home star system is the only one that exists. Engagements not only can occur in our solar system (Titan, anyone?) or Alpha Centauri, (where Helghan and Vekta are located,) but in other nearby systems and with better space combat than before.

Wishlist here:
Bring back Malcom McDowell and Sean Pertwee for voice acting;
Bring the multiplayer back to that of Killzone 2, but keep the brutal melee kills from Killzone 3;
Use some of the extensive plot that Guerrilla created and put on their website but not in the games;
KILL RICO DEAD.

Am I the only one that wants to see a remake of the original Killzone? The PS2 just cannot handle that game, it plays like shit. A PS3 remake would allow me to actually beat it!

Killzone: the most generic name for a shooter EVER. Change the name and you'll sell more copies. KZ2 was very impressive, but having to zoom/aim with R3 made me sell it.
