KillzoneUgh, god no. Why would Sony do that when they've got a few successful TPS series, and they've never really had much success on the FPS side?!
Or just add an S on the end to make it sound bigger than it used to be.

Sounds like the don't want to let the brand go in case of future games rather than an actual game being in the works.
It's just to protect the trademark. I feel like we do this every time something is registered.
Killzone
The premise was far more interesting to me than the final product. I'm open-minded for a re-boot, I hope they give it to another studio - Guerilla Cambridge, perhaps?
hmmmm, This is Sony's Bend Open World Horror Game, a Reboot of Resistance.
naaaah, it is probably not
Please! Resistance must die
Yeah, Killzone is moderately successful by big-budget standards, but it has certainly never become the big success Sony would have liked or expected.
Jackpot comboImagine the next resistance with a similar
R:FOM multiplayer with R2 co-op with R3 SP
Replace the word "Resistance" with "Killzone" and i would agree.

For some reason, I'm thinking its a collection/remaster.
I really hope they let this series die, I rather they fund another handful of indie titles than make another mediocre shooter.
SCEE DO NOT listen to this guy.
Yup. Who would even develop it right now? Insomniac has made it clear they're done with the franchise for the foreseeable future. Bend is making that open world horror game, Cambridge is almost certainly making the next Killzone. What third party would make sense to farm it out to? I can't think of anyone.Sounds like the don't want to let the brand go in case of future games rather than an actual game being in the works.
Except Killzone consistently sells a couple million copies every time, so...They both need to go. Those brands are solidified as middling in the collective gaming consciousness.
This is just weird, if Sony want more Resistance games for some reasons they should try to look for a new developer this time, like someone who really good with first person shooter like 4A Games or Starbreeze/Overkill or maybe go for Bethesda and their MachineGames studio.
You big meanie.

Insomniac doesn't want to work on Resistance that bad?
Unfortunately a couple million is not very good for a AAA shooter.

...by what metric? As a function of its budget? As a money-making enterprise? What corporate hurdle rate does Sony's investment have to exceed to be a success?Unfortunately a couple million is not very good for a AAA shooter.

That's straight bullshit. The games turn a hefty profit. CoD is not the threshold for success on a AAA shooter, it's a crazy outlier. Sony's games are typically expected to sell 2-4 million. They have much lower production costs compared to other big companies. Sony obviously thinks it's good, because they keep making them and then talking about how it's so great how much they sell.Unfortunately a couple million is not very good for a AAA shooter.
Add to that 'Resistance Camps' like HUB levels, Rescuing other resistance members and doing sabotage operations as side missions, oh gimme gimme.Resistance Retribution 2 that we never got, open world set in Moscow, free roaming exodus of Chimera and Cloven *_* gimme!
I personally like R2 despite its flaws, one of the coolest things I liked about it is the boss battles, I hope whenever Resistance returns, boss battles comes in numbers.Hope: They retcon Resistance 2 and 3, and follow up R:FOM with a direct sequel set in Britain again with the same atmosphere and style.
Reality: Protecting their intellectual property.
Good point, but hey Sony's Bend is a small studio who is hiring, so maybe SCEE is helping them ?, just to fuel speculation, though I very much doubt Sony's Bend is doing it, they are most likely doing their own IP.I wish it was but why would the trademark be registered by SCEE when Bend is a US studio?
I'd also have no qualms about playing a third person Resistance. I think The Order is going to be mediocre and Sony still don't have a 4 person co-op campaign shooter. Take up where Retribution finished, in Russia fighting Chimera and Cloven.

And thank Shu. I love Killzone. Can't wait to see Cambridge improve the franchise.
But why would they continue making a 2mil~ game when they could take a chance on a new franchise? Killzone and Resistance have no way to enter the hype machine. It's just never going to happen. A new franchise has a much better chance at igniting excitement.
OH MY GODResistance Retribution 2 that we never got, open world set in Moscow, free roaming exodus of Chimera and Cloven *_* gimme!
