i cant wait to see the jet pack in killzone 3.

arakouftaian5760d ago

So was the dogs that i hope they made it in Killzone 3.

why will Killzone 3 will be good?
Because it will KILZON3D every body

i just have been Killzon3d and want to buy a new 3dtv.

(A massage for the haters.
Killzone 1 yes was bugy but a great game
and Killzone 2 is a great gameAAA it deserver respect
stop hateing this baby because GG have prove themself)

sid4gamerfreak5760d ago

"A massage for the haters"

Um, youll want to communicate the right message, some people might take it the wrong way...

OT: Am just getting a ps3 and hopefully a 3Dtv so I can see this baby in 3D!!!

Nike5760d ago

"A massage for the haters."

I don't hate it. Am I still eligible, handsome? ;D

Chubear5759d ago (Edited 5759d ago )

Yeah the Dogs were definitly making an appearance and with these type of graphics and processing power over the PSP, look to see them even more insanely rabid and ferocious.

Oh, and I must say, with all the bugs KZ1 had, it didn't have nearly as much as a lot of current gen "AAA" games have had and they were over looked.

E.g KZ1's main well known bugs were texture pop-in caused main by the PS2 not being able to handle all they were throwing at it but have you guys not played Mass Effect1? That game had crazy texture pop-ins but hey, not at all an issue.

KZ1 also had bugs that cut out sound (need I list all the games this gen that this has happened too :( ) and had documented issues with loading areas up when qued which wasn't at all rampant but let's not forget, Assasin's Creed had 10x more bugs than KZ1 had on the PS3 but it still got 9s and those problems weren't even talked about in many reviews.

KZ1's issues were the beginning of the PS exclusives insane hate where relatively small things were completely blown way out of proportion and focus on all the incredible things KZ1 presented to FPSs as a game where largely overlooked.

If you haven't played KZ1, go find it and play it. I belived the FUD for nearly a year still I rented it after gamespots 6.9 rating and still smack myself upside the head for listening to reviews. That game was easily a 9type experience and certainly no less than an 8type experience but 7,6 or 5? BS.

Sarcasm5758d ago

I agree to everyone that KZ1 isn't terrible. It's just not super amazing either. But it's still worth a play through IMO. Hardware limitations held it back.

KZ2. Most advanced Hit Detection system and graphics ever seen on a console FPS? Nuff' Said.

Chubear5758d ago

ThanatosDMC5758d ago

I hope there's a Killzone Liberation 2.

TotalPS3Fanboy5758d ago (Edited 5758d ago )

Completely destructible environments

Diverse environments

Unlike Killzone 2, in Killzone 3,
"...a Killzone inch is a Killzone inch..."
"...the scale and size of levels..."
"...everything is bigger this time."

3D
"...enemy bullets that whiz by your head..."
"...thousands of snow flakes showering down on
everything..."
"...The snow effects in Killzone 3 are
stunning."
"...sensory overload..."
"...scorching, intense action..."

"absurdly devastating weapon... of mass
destruction..." like the Wasb

Vehicle combat
"Killzone 3, in particular, embraces elements... such as vehicle based combat..."

Enhance melee system
"...timing your melee attacks correctly allows
you to do things like stomp on an enemy's face
with your boot..."

young juice5758d ago (Edited 5758d ago )

if they get rid of the cover system everything will be perfect.
i was playing twister with my fingers just because the controller layout was kinda weird the way i had it.

they got rid off it online anyway so its not really needed in campaign.

@raztad
but i hate using the R3 button to zoom. its very uncomfortable. and when i switched the controls it gave me arthritis....not really... but it was very uncomfortable and i could do without.

raztad5758d ago

@above

I seriously doubt they will get rid of it. GamePro says the combat mechanics is the same.

BTW, you dont have to use cover if you dont want to.

Noctis Aftermath5758d ago

There are two things i hope are improved from killzone 2.

1) A much larger variety of colors(by that i also mean most levels not being inside an ugly ass man made facility, an open sky that isn't filled with smoke)

2)Gameplay: i think killzone 2 had to "heavy" of controls, i don't want it to be completely arcade like call of duty but more like BFBC2.

i havnt laughed like that in a long time killzone does not play no where near as good as halo and it never will u noob killzone 2 looked average and played average but u have to be level headed to no that not a ps3 fan girl

mythamp5758d ago

I dont think trey was comparing kz2's gameplay with halo, which you intentionally ignored or are too young to understand, he said wii port, obviously referring to its graphics, so simmer down mate and atleast accept that bit of truth.

@Imperator . I don't think they are gonna up the visuals much. They will prob just tweak the game play, AI etc. Seems like a very fast turn around to have much in the way up big updates. I bet it will look better just based on the fact that everyone complained about a lack of varied enviroments in Killzone 2.

Croaker5758d ago

KillZone 3 won't be a mil-sim. If you want to know what a mil-sim is go look at ArmA II or the original Flashpoint.

KillZone 3 isn't exactly arcade but it isn't mil-sim.

And for the record Kill Zone 3 will most probably be an amazing experience, I enjoyed KZ2. Have high hopes for KZ3 being as good if not better.

BISHOP-BRASIL5758d ago

Killzone 2's online multiplayer wasn't that great for me exactly because the identity crysis between an Arcade Gameplay Setting with Tactial Gameplay Mechanics. Ok, so you have actual mass and jumping, running, turning and stopping all become more realistic, also aiming is not a fix dot on your screen with some variation around the dot, but actually the point being aimed at change dinamically as the virtual you breath or the real life you shake hands (at least for sniper)... At the same time, every game is respawn based, there is a lil bit of auto aim (that I believe wasn't there when the game first came out, but got patched in as crybabies begged for it), there are turrets and drones that will play alone for you, either the bullet damage is too low or the health/resistance is too high...

This combination was good for a while but after 2 months I came back to SOCOM Confrontation. Before SOCOM was out I played COD4 for a long time and that game sucked donkey ball except for hardcore mode. If Killzone 3 had the setting ot the option to be more realistic it would still not be a mil-sim but would be a much better game than Killzone 2 and a more catchy one too.

Becuase it's PS3 exclusive. Not only that, but they'll improve everything. I mean think about it. If GG were able to create such a great game on their FIRST try, imagine their second. It's going to be incredible.

kaveti66165758d ago

Reduce the amount of profanity in Killzone 3. KZ2 had some really fantastic moments that were ruined by either Garza or Natco or Rico because those guys curse way too much. I for one understand that cursing is a natural for soldiers but their voices are so bloody annoying.

360degrees5758d ago

the graphics were slightly above average for KZ2, and the gameplay felt pretty much standard, but here are some pointers for KZ3;
1.Fix the sluggish aiming system
2.Better character development
3.Online matchmaking needs an overhaul
4.Tone down excessive recoil on weapons
5.Possibly mix up the locale of environments(even the new iteration of Gears of War has managed to add Some green)

bjornbear5758d ago

damn MW-pea shooters

realism is imperative in KZ...those guns would have recoil.

aaronisbla5758d ago

slightly above average graphics? wow...

Sevir045758d ago

You should get your eyes checked.

badz1495758d ago

another MW fanatics complaining about KZ2 control and recoil! NOOB!

but the above average graphic comment is priceless - because he kinda admitted that almost no games on 360 are above average LOL!

better character development? KZ is not an RPG you know!

add some green? KZ3 is adding snow! so? white is not good enough?

el zorro5758d ago

Well, the graphics were well above average. In fact, they were quite good. That said, I do think they have been way overhyped by certain fanboys. The lighting is the single biggest thing that made it stand out and look good.

mal_tez925758d ago

1. The aiming has an awesome sense of weight that takes skill to use, but makes for a much more enjoyable experience compared to games where the guns weight 10 grams. The same goes for the movement, you move like a pesron in KZ2, you move like a floating gun in CoD

2. This too I want. Killzone 1 had awesome characters and story, but KZ2 was lacking these

3. I never had any trouble finding a match

4. The shooting in KZ2 is by FAR the best in any FPS game. The recoil and weight of the weapons makes for a much more skillfun and enjoyable game.

5. I liked how KZ2 looked. Awesome environments in every level. It really felt like you were on an alien planet because of the darkness. And there was variety too, thre city levels were great, but so were the wasteland, train and fortress levels.

And as for the graphics... "slightly above average" ? really?

Killzone 2 looks better than any console game available today. Games like Uncharted 2 and GoW 3 come very close, but I think KZ2 looks the best.

DA_SHREDDER5758d ago

No, i dont suck, i just like to have fun when i play video games.

The_Zeitgeist5758d ago

The controls in K2 were so customizable that you have no reason to complain.

DA_SHREDDER5758d ago (Edited 5758d ago )

Whatever, im so sick of you guys calling me a noob. Just add me and see who sucks and who doesn't. Oh and when i say the controls suck, im referring to the laggy controls, but ya, I guess the control setup could be better too. Using L2 to crouch and what not was stupid, and honestly I wish that we could prone since the cover system is only for the single player mode. But whatever, you guys want broken game mechanics? Well I guess Guerrilla will deliver.

Anon73495758d ago

Yes, you are a noob. If you want prone in killzone which is a horrible idea. Go play your other crappy games with prone like MW2, enjoy your campers.

Also, I don't think you know what "laggy" means, there's no possible way you can have "laggy" controls especially in single player. The term you were looking for is "slow" controls, not laggy you dumbass, you don't even know what that means.

Just stick to COD: black oops, kid.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5758d ago

Lack of skills = Complaining about the controls.

There is a fix about that, practice. Broken mechanic it is only for yourself if you don't practice, no skills = Broken mechanic.

Arnon5758d ago

"Yes, you are a noob. If you want prone in killzone which is a horrible idea. Go play your other crappy games with prone like MW2, enjoy your campers."

Prone is for noobs? My god, you console fans are hilarious. Keep believing that Killzone is some sort of sim. I'll continue to live in reality.

fOrlOnhOpe575758d ago

I think I estimated about 6-700hours playing it all told - but never on line(pre internet for me)
More often I would play the game's Battlefield component so it was really something to see GG produce some of those maps for Killzone 2.

It feels like the franchise has found its feet and created its own unique place within the FPS genre.
As one of Sony 's topline developers - and knowing of the collaboration with other notables - everything should be inplace for a true gaming experience. And in 3D. Could it get any better?

duplissi5758d ago

yeah the first killzone is one of my favorite games from last gen. i waited and waited for that game, and bought i despite the reviews. that game was hated on for no good reason.

raztad5758d ago

I beat KZ1. Enjoyed every moment. Great story, exciting combat.

Many people hated KZ1 because it didnt allow bunny jumps. I loved it. Slow paced and tactical, that is KZ.

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?......

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic458d 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.

Storm23458d 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.

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

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!

Vengeance11381024d 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

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

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.

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.

MadLad1775d ago

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.

Applejack1775d ago

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.

Terry_B1775d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1775d ago

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.

1775d ago
Vegamyster1775d ago

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.

SinkingSage1775d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1775d ago (Edited 1775d ago )

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.

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
