There are no words to describe how good this game is, for a long time Half life 2 has been my faviroute single player game but not anymore. The reviews this game got from the so called experts are laughable on the evidence i've seen. From beggining to end the game sucks you in for a truly remarkable adventure. The set pieces are stunning and you fight in some epic battles through out. Halo games have always provided me with a great single player experience but killzone 3 blows them all out of the water and yes that includes combat evolved.
Lets get on thing straight, i'm no graphics whore. The game is stunning to look at but its very rough around the edges, with some very bland textures and some dodgy AA. I'm told the game uses MLAA, for the most part this seems to be the case but there are some occations when it gets very jaggy indeed. Overall though its a beautiful game and I think i'm being picky but I thought I should mention that it does have its flaws. My most memorable moment came when I was standing at the edge of the scrapyard level and it had one of the most beautiful vistas I have ever seen, I felt like my PS3 should be atleast coughing when trying to produce graphics like this. But no not even a hint of screen tearing anywhere.The story is one of the reasons some reviewers dropped the score down, well I can't see why. Its really easy to follow, it makes you feel part of a huge battle and its engaging from beginning to end. I'm going to be very interested in seeing what crytek can do on the PS3 because GG have set a very high benchmark we may not see broken untill the arrival of Uncharted 3.
The one thing that put me off killzone 2 was the controls, people tryed to say it was realism but it was lag, simple as that. I bought the game again when they patched the controls and it was perfect. Killzone 3 improves further in the control department, it keeps its heavy feeling while still being very responsive which it needs to be in the more hectic battles you engage in. I'm sitting here writing this review while listening to the menu music, they have done an incredible job with both the sound ingame and the musical score that accompanys it throughout the game. I think a special mention should go to the music because Halo always seems to get applause for its music and killzone 3 is right up there with halo. I put the single player at a good 8 to 10 hours to get through on legendary, which I think is more than enough for this type of game.
The multiplayer is something i've no tryed yet but after playing the beta i'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into that part of the game, I might even do a review.
As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, let's explore the best PlayStation games Sony has to offer.
There's too many games to choose from
No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head
PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.
30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.
Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.
I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!
EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.
man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!
32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III
One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

So not a drop off.
Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
lol you are comparing:
HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)
HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)
We will see if it surpass original number.
@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years
Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself
Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.
I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level
PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.
What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?
If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.
I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.
Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.
jukins
Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.
That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.
Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.
Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip
The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.
How about finishing the game before reviewing.
I am a military veteran ranked Major. After playing this game, I felt I went back to the war zone again, simply amazing!
I think 9.8 is perhaps a bit much, but I must admit that the campaign got me by surprise. Some of the weapons are incredibly awesome.
Review is a bit inconsistent, but not bad :)
I'll be honest here, I thought the story was boring, and uninspired. I was very much looking forward to it because of how Killzone 2 ended, but I was just shaking my head the whole time. There are such obvious references they have taken from a Call of Duty game. The stealth mission, the vehicle missions, the shooting from the sky missions, the over the top action. They tried to be Call of Duty with the single player, and it easily showed. The story was weak, and completely unoriginal. Everything else is spot on from the awesome new weapons, the jaw dropping graphics, the butter smooth gameplay. Its just the plot of the story was agonizing to sit through. The story in Killzone and Killzone 2 were great, but I was just so disappointed with the approach they took in 3. The multiplayer is very good though thankfully so that will keep me hooked.
Excellent review for an all-round excellent game.
