FUUUUCK YES

Also awesome that I can just buy KZ!

....still, tempted to sell my copies of 2 and 3 and just get this instead

 

[Konosuke]

No no no no damn it. Such a golden chance to bring Move controls to all of the games and they waste it. Why?! : (

 

[PaulLFC]

If anyone at Sony/Guerrilla is reading, let me introduce you to this thing called a currency converter. It allows you to work out fair prices for your products. Revolutionary, I know.

US price: $39.99
UK converted price: $39.99 = £25.09 + 20% VAT = £30.11 (not £40.81, in fact nowhere near).
EU converted price: $39.99 = €31.65 + 20%? tax (I actually think tax is lower than this in some countries, but I'm not sure) = €39.64 (not €49.99).

So where do the extra £10/€10 come from?

 

[bengraven]

That speech!


So epic.

Brian Cox's speech is seriously the best monologue in a videogame ever

 

[Hyuga]

KILLZONE 1 in HD?
Hakha and Luger back?

-> DAY 1 <-

 

[dark10x]

Its truly perplexing to me when a HD re-release isn't 60fps. Is that a major engine overhaul? I always think of it like new computer hardware and assume that should be relatively simple but I must be wrong.

Your assumption would be wrong. Console games are designed for a very specific platform and some of the techniques used in their creation may not be compatible with certain changes.

Bumping up the framerate to 60 fps could actually break a number of game systems and result in other visual problems. None of us know for sure but it's not unlikely.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Brian Cox's speech is absolutely legendary. I don't think I have ever had a speech in a videogame move me like his does. Also KZ never gets enough recognition for its score. Really great stuff.

Yeah thats what I assumed. Unfortunate. I wonder if any dev's outside of ND built their engines to scale relatively painless with new hardware.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Finally people will get a chance to understand greatness and importance of the first Killzone.

Thank you for this Guerilla and Sony.

Here I come again my dearest 40 hours campaign on Hard difficulty with Auto Reload set to OFF and HUD OFF.

Will Be Glorious™

We can be friends

 

[AgentChris]

Day 1 for Killzone 1 HD.

 

[omonimo]

Damn, I want my KZ1 remake with KZ2 engine, an update like the first Halo on 360, not that ancient graphic...

That's not just Sony/Guerilla. Happens to a lot of releases in the EU. We just get charged more for some reason. I feel bad for the Aussies, they have it even worse!

 

[KalBalboa]

Are you referring to Naughty Dog? If so, you should really look into the horrors the Jak & Daxter Collection team had to go through.

They actually used the PS2's PSone emulation chip as a sound decoder with the original Jak... things like that make for a pain to port.

ND's engine scale painlessly? you sure about that? I thought ND is the one making a really crazy engine for ps1 and ps2 with their own custom writing language or something which make jak hd collection port a real challenge. ps2 emulator on pc still can't play jak without graphic bug/glitch, and ps3 hd collection are missing something in some cutscenes

Improved audio

Unfortunately there is no online multiplayer, but split-screen multiplayer modes are all there. The audio has been upgraded as well. They’ve been re-compressed at higher quality from the original recordings.

I should say I am only talking about their PS3 work and I am only basing that off of the UC3 video of the game running at 60fps. It would seem to me based on that the engine could scale to 60fps with new hardware but I am probably still being naive.

 

[thiscoldblack]

They should have added motion controls to 1 & 2 a la Metroid Prime Trilogy. Still, welcomed addition to those who haven't played the series. I will get Killzone HD since I have the other games.

 

[PaulLFC]

That's not just Sony/Guerilla. Happens to a lot of releases in the EU. We just get charged more for some reason. I feel bad for the Aussies, they have it even worse!

We do get charged more, but only slightly more, usually. At least here in the UK, anyway. Such as $40 = £35 instead of £30, etc. This is the first time I've actually seen us charged *more* in our local currency than the dollar amount, despite the conversion rate stating that $1 is not £1. It's ridiculous. I can see why a lot of people wait a few weeks until the prices are more reasonable.

At least in EU you get price drops much faster.

It keeps getting better, doesn't it? I wish I could get this on disc as a standalone, but the trilogy is such a steal who cares. The PSN version isn't as stoic to me for collection reasons.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Improved audio

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012...oon-to-playstation-3/comment-page-2/#comments

WOOOOOO!

 

[TTP]

meh @ no Move support for KZ1/KZ2.

 

[onQ123]

You know, when something say trilogy it is already implied that there is three. Did they need to clarify that further with saying that their was three full games in the "trilogy" collection?

Yes they did because some people don't even know what trilogy means.

Yeah. That fact that the pound figure is higher than the dollar is the real eye catching thing. Still I've already got Killzone 2+3, so I'll just end up getting the first off PSN

At least in EU you get price drops much faster.

That is useful. Pretty much everything that isn't an EA, Activision or Nintendo game drops in price really fast. As long as you avoid GAME that is

 

[Nizz]

FUUUUCK YES

Also awesome that I can just buy KZ!

....still, tempted to sell my copies of 2 and 3 and just get this instead

I'm honestly thinking of doing this myself. The thought of having all three games together in one collection, and now with Killzone 1 HD sounds awesome.

 

[Loudninja]

All 3 games and 6 map packs is a damn good deal to me for $40.

So where do the extra £10/€10 come from?

Which is why I buy second hand.

The bundle looks great. Will pick up sometime.

 

[KalBalboa]

I was thinking of giving my copies of God of War III and Killzone 2 to a friend to make getting these collections a smart proposition.

 

[/XX/]

Wow! Now I can play split-screen KILLZONE games again, better yet in high definition! Playing against a friend or my brother, each with a team of bots at our disposal, on the original Beach Head map brings back good memories... man, those pesky bots on hard difficulty had an incredibly perfect accuracy with the grenade launcher of the M82 or the BP-02.

Brian Cox's speech is absolutely legendary. I don't think I have ever had a speech in a videogame move me like his does. Also KZ never gets enough recognition for its score. Really great stuff.

Agreed, and to think that Joris de Man has also collaborated in the music of FuturLab's game Velocity. Quite the difference!

 

[Loudninja]

GTA 3 not appearing on the store could only mean one thing.

 

[KalBalboa]

This begs the question...

GTA 3 not appearing on the store could only mean one thing.

We can only hope ( :',

 

[KAOz]

I got last post on one of the earlier pages in case you missed it:

As long as they don't redo all the voicework and cast new voices. Maybe people will be confused when they realize that Hakha and Radec are voiced by the same, kickass, awesome person.

 

[AgentP]

Sweet!

Now do I double dip on the retail pack or just get the PSN release?

 

[thehillissilent]

Damn, I want my KZ1 remake with KZ2 engine, an update like the first Halo on 360, not that ancient graphic...

This is what I was hoping for, but unfortunately it's not the case.

 

[RedSwirl]

Sony did confirmed new collections are coming I wonder whats next?

I think SOCOM is looking more likey now.

What Sony 1st party IPs are left that go back to the PS2 era?

 

[Ravage]

Cool! Will grab Killzone HD from the Store day one.

 

[KZObsessed]

why hello thar

[Evolved1]

KZ1 is so bought the second it goes up on PSN.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Fuck yes! Been waiting for Killzone 1 to make it's way back to me...with a nice HD upgrade to boot!

 

[waypoetic]

Will buy. Love Killzone!

 

[giancarlo123x]

I thought KZ1 was shit and didn't like it the first and only time I tried it. I'm willing to give it another chance and see if its better years later.

 

[waypoetic]

Watching that trailer could fool one to think that you're playing as the Helghast. Sadly, that isn't the case..

.. FOR HELGHAN! As one heart, one hand and one soul!

 

[industrian]

My main gripe with Killzone 1 was that enemies didn't seem to respond to getting hit by bullets. It made the last level a chore - especially combined with the loading times and non-existent ally AI. If they've fixed those then it'll be absolutely fantastic.

I've not played KZ3 yet and could be doing with a couple of FPS games to play, so this collection is getting bought day one.

 

[Derrick01]

I'll probably end up buying this collection on a sale because I'm not too fond of the series but it does look damn pretty. I hated 1 so I hope it has an easy trophy list so I can breeze through it and never look back.

 

[madmook]

Definitely going to buy KZ1 HD on PSN.

Loved the combat, the guns, the levels, the atmosphere, and especially the Helghast screams.

 

[fabricated backlash]

People are excited to play the first one? Wasn't it pretty shit even back then?

It was, and time wasn't kind to it either. But hey, collection time.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

no online multiplayer for killzone 1 = no buy (I already have 2 and 3 is a fucking abomination)

 

[Noisepurge]

Buying it! Good to see more proper HD remakes!

Yeah the bots in KZ1 were a lot of fun to play against, glad that's coming back by the sounds of things.
