[Update] Sony confirmed to Game Informer it will release Killzone on PlayStation Network. The game will cost $9.99 and release on January 24. This is a port of the original PlayStation 2 title.
------------------------------------------
[Original Story] It seems the first Killzone title will soon be making its way to PlayStation 3. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board recently published a rating for the game for PS3, which typically signals its eventual release.

It's unlikely this is a complete "remaster" of the original PlayStation 2 version, but instead simply a digital title of the original available through PlayStation Network. Sony began selling PlayStation 2 titles last October through its "Only on PSN" program.

We reached out to SCEA for additional information and we'll update this post if we hear back.

    I would buy it. I am just finishing up Killzone 2 and would love to get better insight on the backstory.

    Why is it unlikely that this is a remaster? I'd say they're much more likely to do a remake then port the old version, especially with the recent Halo remake on Microsoft's side.

    This one had much better character dialogue, humor, and general interactions, and story to all the sequels combined.
    Look at these short scenes and see what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TtsITnL12M

    Diverse squad (instead of all being generic action movie meat-heads), you can play as any of the 4 squad members as you want, IDK why they took this feature away in later games.

    Not remastered? Pass.

    I was wondering how long it would take this game to get on PSN. Now, if only they would put up Okami... Y'know what, why can't I play my PS2 games on my PS3 anymore? I mean, clearly it works when I download these PS2 classics?!

    I'm glad to see Killzone ported. I always wanted to try out the original.

    I know there are plenty who complain about it but it's still one of my faves between what I think was a compelling story, solid controls and some of the best art design of any sci-fi tale in any medium in a long time.

    Ow my, oh my, oh, my. I've been wanting this for a while now. I'm so going to get it on the 24th.

    Whaaat. I loved this game and at the time hoped for a sequel on the PS2 but that was before the PS3...

    Too bad it's not a remake/remaster.  Then they could at least fix that broken AI.  Oh well.  It's a great way for people who don't have a PS2/PS2-capable PS3 to experience the game.  I loved it when I first played it, and I still have my retail copy.

    If it's the same exact thing as the original, then this is a disappointment.  The original one was annoying to play.  However, if they've fixed the glitches and tweaked the controls, then I many consider getting this.

    Killzone 1 was comically bad, in my opinion. I felt I wasted $50 when I bought it on day 1.

    Finally! I was kind of hoping for an HD remaster... but this will definitely do. =)
