IGN really got me down with their negative preview.

But according to them it sucks because you have a rechargable life bar, like every other shooter. And one of the guys said a cheesy line.

Condoleezza Rice6610d ago

I don't trust previews,unfinished game+limited play time=Skewed impression

CViper6610d ago

Its not up to the PS3 to entirely reinvent the wheel every time it releases a title. So many other titles get passes for doing the same. Its shocking that people are willing to ignore technological advances is both gameplay and graphics, because it uses a feature that has already been used.

sonarus6610d ago

Alright game looks fantastic that has been established.

AI needs some SERIOUS work. I mean they have to learn to flank and take cover they are simply too easy to take down as it is now

The gun sound. I don't know what it is but i don't think that is how a gun should sound. Would hate to think they spent 60 mill on this game and didn't bother to record actual gun sounds

I have never seen a video taken off screen look so good.

supahbad6610d ago

@1.2=bubbles well put

i agree with sonarus the AI seemed slow, but so did the player

MikeMichaels6610d ago (Edited 6610d ago )

This is just jaw dropping....the lighting, the animation, the frame rate , the particles!!!!

This is a VFX artists dream game.

What an atmosphere!

I like this vid even more.

EDIT: Oh and don't worry about the AI. It's in good hands my friends cause of this man http://aigamedev.com/site/2... Thx GAF!

ps3FTW6610d ago

Maybe it's on god mode he seems to not get hurt at all.

games4fun6610d ago

yet a again the game looks awesome

and i agree that the guy sliding around and things of that nature is probably why they are still working on it right now

Time_Is_On_My_Side6610d ago

A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) in Halo 3 isn't up to snuff and remember this is a pre-alpha build / code. For a pre-alpha code to look this good things are look very promising.

hazeblaze6610d ago

Not only that, but one of their complaints was that there wasn't much new as far as gameplay that wasn't any in any of the other good shooters we've played... but as long as the game is as good as those other good shooters, I don't care. All of the other detail they've included would make it good enough to purchase for me.

sonarus6610d ago

Well they really need to ramp the AI up. They have to make seeking cover a necessity and not an option. They need to be more aware of grenades, take cover, they should be aware when you aim at them to shoot at you back. The game is still far away so A.I. will definitely get ramped up but i also hope they put some work in the gun sounds. Its not impressive at all.

Comparing halo 3 AI to KZ2 AI at this stage is silly really

TresTrendu6610d ago

Wow the AI remind's of let's see "Doh which way did he go george".

Jinxstar6610d ago (Edited 6610d ago )

@ Some one plays

I disagreed with you because I think it is past the "PreAlpha" Stage...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

To my knowledge Pre Alpha is basically an engine that works. Alpha is a playable albeit very glitchy version. I would say this game is past that or at least the demo is. The demo they showed is pretty darn close to Beta. It will be changed and tweaked I am sure but from what I can tell... The footage we have is not Pre Alpha by any means...

Edit: Some of the coding I am sure is Pre Alpha maybe the AI and other stuff but for the most part this is what we will be seeing with better AI and maybe a few other tweaks...

Edit 2: Also I have seen a lot of "The making of" Videos on gaming. Alpha means you can go through the levels. It may not be fun and may not be perfect but its "Playable" and thats it. Pre Alpha is not "Playable" its the point of Dev's sitting down and writing the first lines of script to the time someone can play through the first level, May not be fun or pretty but its playable. Then that level is considered Alpha. So what we saw is not Pre Alpha however like I said the coding for AI and such might be...

The Wood6610d ago (Edited 6610d ago )

bubble up, well said

@Jinxstar, agreed

gonzopia6609d ago

Fantastic looking stuff. Great video. It looks like a sci-fi Call Of Duty... and that's not a bad thing.

@1.5 You nailed it - the textures and lighting effects look staggering. It's tough to make a call on level design or gameplay without actually, well - playing it... but the visuals shown here are simply stunning, and that's a low rez cam.

Time_Is_On_My_Side6609d ago (Edited 6609d ago )

Pre-alpha is playable the E3 2007 was a pre-alpha build and was playable. With this new demonstration they're using pre-alpha coding just look at the tops of the images I posted.

So more things are going to be implemented but they still have quite a few things to add. Like A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), better textures, frame rate issues, whatever satisfies the developer's version.

So yes the game looks amazing but it is still considered a work in progress. That's what makes this game so amazing at such an early stage looking so amazing. This looks better than Halo 3's final version of the game.

This is a work in progress; a beta stage is when everything is implemented. They are only looking for bugs and will be pretty much a final version. They can test the networks at this point to make them stable for the final release.

I also want to note pre-alpha is made in a short amount of time like the Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer demonstration running on real-time hardware. This is using pre-alpha coding so it isn't made in a short amount of time but still at an early stage.

AI needs improvement but the graphics is so nice and the gameplay looks fun, i dont kno wat ign is complaining about. man this game looks better then any 360/ps3 game, the gun looks better then any 360/ps3 game.

this whole game looks like a cgi and the smokes and explosion is the best ive seen in any video game

pwnsause6610d ago

dont you understand, the media wants to destroy this game, just cause its called "killzone"

pwnmaster30006610d ago

the guy just slides away wen he died at 3:10

poopsack6610d ago

Havent seen it yet but i think i know what your talking about it happened in a e3 gameplay footage. hopefully that only stays in alpha/beta stages.

gonzopia6609d ago

Yeah that was weird. Well, they still have nine months to iron that out. In my experience with beta versions of games, sometimes the biggest and most obvious bugs aren't fixed (though they are aware of them) until weeks or days before shipping the game.

Not being a developer, I have no idea why that is - but I've seen it enough to speculate there must be a reason.

DomUltra6610d ago

Damn, now there's gunk all over my monitor.

Blackcanary6610d ago

damn it made you explode lol

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX596d ago (Edited 596d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne596d ago (Edited 596d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro596d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken596d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown596d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72596d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken596d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya596d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast596d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood596d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX826d ago (Edited 826d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro825d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72825d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_825d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga825d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos825d ago (Edited 825d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23825d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000825d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin825d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole825d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix825d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989825d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor825d ago (Edited 825d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

825d ago
Michiel1989825d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1129d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1129d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1129d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491129d ago

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!

Vengeance11381129d ago

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

Shane Kim1129d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1129d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381129d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1129d ago

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.

Phoenix761129d ago

@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

REDGUM1129d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301129d ago (Edited 1129d ago )

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.

blacktiger1129d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1129d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1129d ago (Edited 1129d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1129d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1129d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
