Ideas that'll make Killzone 3 a masterpiece

VideoGamer.com writes: "Let's get one thing straight: we loved Killzone 2. It scored an impressive 9/10 in our review. So good was Sony's PlayStation 3 exclusive FPS that we called it "the best looking game ever made - a jaw dropping graphical showcase from start to finish". High praise indeed. But that doesn't mean we want developer Guerrilla to rest on its laurels for the inevitable follow-up. And just to give it a head start, just in case it's suffering an unwelcome mental block or a bout of burnout, we thought we'd knock our heads together and lend the developer some help. Hence, our Top 10: Ideas that'll make Killzone 3 a masterpiece feature. Read on, and let us know what ideas you've got for Killzone 3. Oh, and be warned, there are spoilers ahead."

I would love it if Killzone3 took the perspective of the Helghast. Mostly because we haven't been told much about their side of the storyline. Though I think Guerrilla is happy enough to paint the Helghast as future nazi's.

For the third game I just hope they get rid of Rico, I hated him through out the entire game and his one dimensional commentary. I must have shot him multiple times just in hopes of killing him.

redsquad6259d ago

It would be cool to play as the Helghast in SP, but I think I'd prefer to do it in some form of add-on/expansion pack (alá HL: OPPOSING FORCES) rather than the main game.

DixieNormS6259d ago

Its just like how Halo 2 got ruined by playing as the elite. Not cool, but as an expansion it will be okay. I hope they make the mp maps a little more open. To many hallways in this one.

thor6259d ago

Hmmm... (SPOILERIFIC)

Maybe everybody else had a different take on the story, or they viewed it in a typical light. In any case, it wasn't properly explored.

Rico was MEANT to be annoying. He beats a guy to death, causes the death of your squadmate and of visari through his recklessness. His character made me think who the bad guys really were. When he goes on about the Helghast as though they are "monsters" or however he puts it, it's shocking to see him treating them the same way they treat the ISA. This is also evident when he's having a go at the innocent, civilian train driver.

Unfortunately the game never seemed to question which side was right, and continued in the whole good guys vs. bad guys vein. Which is a real shame. They should have shown the human side of the Helghast a bit more. "Future nazis" is how they were ultimately portrayed, you are right, but I don't think that's the route they should have taken, considering how Rico's character was set up etc.

talltony6259d ago

to have more online ranks and i want the whole game to run at 60 frames per second. For single player I want a deeper narrative that will make me care more about sev and what happens to him. And more types of Helghast that sound different and say different things. I know killzone 3 will set the bar again.

IcarusOne6259d ago

Agree with all of them, though - not surprisingly - I take issue with the notion of Killzone 2 having the best graphics ever. Period. Having played it twice, having put it beside Gears 2, having played through RE5, I disagree. I'll admit, I'm not entirely objective, but anyone who blindly claims that KZ2 (or any game for that matter) is the best looking EVER is on some fanboy crack.

KZ does lighting and motion insanely well. It's a joy to watch it move, run, jump, die, etc. But seriously, given how much of the game you spend behind cover, the textures could have come up a few notches. And the draw distance is a bit jerky - at 6 feet I get a low quality model, and 5 feet I get full res. And speaking of character models, seriously people. Put Sev, Rico, Garza, any of these guys up against Dom or Marcus or Chris or Sheva and they pale in comparison.

But getting back on topic, Sony certainly has not realized their 1080p promise (with a few exceptions, namely MGS4).

Some good ideas here, especially co-op, fully destructible environments, and native 1080P support.

Beg For Mercy6259d ago

dont think they should add a 3rd faction cause then people would say that its rippin off halo to much for what they did with the flood.

Bits-N-Kibbles6259d ago

+ bubbles

They have a huge timline on killzone.com why F that up with another faction. Things are not black and white, good and bad like some may think, the helgast were cheated and forced to live on the planet and forced into conflict. This is a realistic situation with politics, unlike Evil vs the Good.

terrandragon6259d ago

Almost everything is a ripoff, buddy.

Nineball21126259d ago

I'll get flamed for this, but I don't care.

Great, fantastic game. Controls suck.

When I feel more pissed off than enjoyment when playing a game, then it ceases to be fun.

Love the different levels in SP, love the multiplayer, hate the unresponsive controls.

Nineball21126259d ago

@ djpolofish... yeah, I'm figuring that out.

Anon19746259d ago

Currently, I'm the only one of my friends that have Killzone 2. Most of my other buddies said "Tried the demo but didn't like the controls and the feel of the guy. It was like walking through jello. Couldn't it have been more like Call of Duty?"
Then they all went back to playing Call of Duty. My advice to them was "First off. It's not Call of Duty. Once you get over that very simple fact there's lots to love about this game."

I hope they give it a try because there is lots to love about this game. I know I'm having a blast with it, but I'll admit...it's not for everyone.

take those spider/bugs and make them bigger with more petrucide involvement... it would be awsome. picture it, 4 heavy helghasts, a tank and 15 helghast storm across, your thinking what do i do?! then BAAAAAAM big electric bug smashes through the ground :D

but that would make it sound like Starship Troopers. :-(

xabmol6259d ago

That would be really cool and add more enemy variation. It would be nice to see a little more "Sci-Fi" in KZ3.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic535d ago

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.

Storm23535d ago

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.

lockedongamer1535d ago (Edited 535d ago )

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!

Chocoburger526d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

OtterX568d ago (Edited 568d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne568d ago (Edited 568d 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-ro568d ago

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

just_looken568d 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

MDTunkown568d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72568d 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_looken568d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya567d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast568d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood568d 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.

OtterX797d ago (Edited 797d 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-ro797d ago

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

darthv72797d 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_797d ago

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

Cacabunga797d ago

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

Profchaos797d ago (Edited 797d 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

seanpitt23797d 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!

Iceball2000797d ago

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

Father__Merrin797d ago

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

InUrFoxHole797d ago

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

Marcus Fenix797d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989797d ago

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

1Victor797d ago (Edited 797d 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 😱

Michiel1989797d ago

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