Pre-E3 2010: Killzone 3 Looks Vicious (Analysis)

Ironstar: Killzone 3 has PS3 gamers excited; we just can't get enough of the Killzone series. Not many FPS(s) have appealed to me since Killzone 2. Perhaps the tactical and realistic nature of Killzone 2 appealed to be more than other FPS(s).

Better than KZ2 in terms of gameplay, that's for sure. Technically, it also seems like it's "bigger and better" than KZ2, if not more "bad ass".

gamelova5813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

I was blown away by the trailer, and I am definitely loving the direction they are taking. I also love the colorful nature of the game. I never thought it would be so colorful. It seems like no one can complain about the grey and brown anymore, this game seems like it will have some truly beautiful environments.

Omega Archetype5813d ago

I think complaining about the color palette of a game is pointless. Usually games have a specific color palette to illustrate not only settings, cohesive style and theme, but also to relay a certain feel of a game.

Gears of War was fine with the colors it had, sure they added a few more in GeOW2, but did it really add all that much to it? I don't think it did.

War is gritty, uncolorful and I'm assuming dark. It's not like Bulletstorm who is intentionally going for vibrant tropic like colors. I think it all depends on what the developers intentions are, no matter how "overused" the color palette some people online feel that it is.

gamelova5813d ago

I wasn't complaining, I just know that there are a lot of people who were complaining about the color palette. I think KZ2 color palette was good for its environment, but I am glad they took this direction in taking us to a world where more color could be possible.

Redrum0595813d ago

The new melée attacks (kicks,neck snaps) look so cinematic and badass son.
Can't wait.
Plus, sevs new look is more badass aswell.

rockleex5813d ago

Slide into cover now?

Then quickly jump over the cover and do melee attacks?

Seems like they made sure to cater to the run-n-gun gamers like me. ^_^

jack_burt0n5813d ago

Tenko needs to do a new VID!!!!!!!!!

flash2405813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

wtf is wrong with you? blown away by the trailer? were we watching the same video?

@Redrum the (melees) also happen to look fake redrum, and other games have already done this so how is this badass?

shadow27975813d ago

How many other games let you stab someone in the eye? Yeah, that's what I thought. Stop being a troll.

flash2405812d ago

im not talking about the stabbing in the eye who gives a crap bout that , but necksnaps,kicks,have been done

Was there really a need to write an article on a trailer, we all saw the damn thing it's not like you know any more about it than us.

Jeez talk about desperate for hits. Stop writing your bullshit articles and stick to posting actual NEWS on this site.

And nobody gives a damn about your "analysis" you're nobodies.

sixaxis5813d ago

so true, btw guys, gametrailers already managed to cut parts out of this recent video, including knife stabbing. heres the unedited version: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

very beautyful stab into eye, badass.

ico925813d ago

the visuals look alot cleaner and crisp in comparison to KZ2 which was a pretty dirty game it reminded me of Stalingrad, also did anyone notice how faster and more fluid the gameplay has improved in comparison to KZ2, the levels look much bigger as well.

I wish the makers of Bodycount would put as much effort in their game as Guerrilla are.

RatFuker5813d ago

twisted vicious nasty fukin epic! yea! did you see the neck snap! got a lil ufc in this beyach!

USEYOURFIST5813d ago

it looks alot better then the first which i thought was amazing. i want to see how crysis compares to this on the graphics front.

emk20045813d ago

but its still not there with crysis. this is pre alpha so there is room for improvment, but shear amount of detal and pixles i dont think kz will make it, the ram is just 2 limited.

http://www6.incrysis.com/sc...
http://www6.incrysis.com/sc...

just look at the ground you can see every twig, bush and leaf with the game looking photo realistic. the lighting is the best i have ever seen, also i believe crysis is considered open world with partial destruction. very big feet.

the one thing that killzone proves is how badly pc games are not optimized. if gg can get close looking games to a pc with 4gigs of ram while ps3 has only 1/8 of that and a weaker graphics card(and some help from cell graphics processing im guessing) makes me wonder what a gaming computer could realy do if developers took there time like gg. as far as im concerned gg is an elite developer in the industry by far.

jack_burt0n5813d ago

I am a PC gamer and i am fed up with those damn crysis bullshots getting posted ffs the game does not look that good running, seriously it helps no one if you want to do a crysis 2 kz3 comparison compare both the videos on gametrailers.

The real killer5813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

PS3 use different XDR RAM than a PC, and is 6 time faster than regulair RAM what in the most PC have.

It is also very efficient than the most PC RAM'S.
And, you cannot compare with a Jungle level with a Snow level, it's a whole different subject.

Further, Crysis must have only grafichs, Killzone has far more than just Grafichs, better visual/ligthing and Psycics.

And here we go, hit the disagree button for no reason and without any explain.

NastyLeftHook5813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

nothing is going to "out do" a pc computer system but hey...gotta admit that playstation 3 has the best damn games/graphics we have seen on a console thus far am i right? and looking at uncharted 2, its not that far from crysis. ;)

RagTagBnd4455813d ago

You can compare snow and jungle levels, in terms of texture resolutions, and sorry that trailer showed too many low resolution textures.
The PS3 rams are not that much faster as far as i know, throw in a source please?
Crysis has as good physics as KZ, the lightning is really up to what you like.
Anyways, personally i think Killzone is a better game, but Crysis got better graphics.

halojunkie5813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

but... the thing is you cannot really base an engein on graphics alone, gameplay matters...(and believe me the graphics are jawdropping) but gameplay is why killzone 2 earned my favorite shooter of all time because of that. now crysis has a very advanced engein (duh!) but just like homeboy jack burton said, it honestly does not look that good running, it looks just as good as UNCHARTED 2. that bieng said, on topic: killzone 3 is going to be on my radar every day until it comes out...i cannot get over that "fast paced killing spree" incredible.

Draperc5813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

@ Jack Burton : Those aren't bullshots, Crysis can look that good.

Here's a screenshot, only mod used here was a weapon skin mod.

EDIT : Dunno why it's so damn tiny, here's the full size version. Only thing missing is AA.

thewhoopimen5813d ago (Edited 5813d ago )

I can agree that Crysis still has the edge in higher quality textures ... but I think Crysis has already fallen behind both Uncharted 2 and KZ in terms of animation and mocap. The NPCs die like paper dolls compared to what KZ does. And your right, it goes to show how far GG has come to becoming a great developer, but it also proves that PS3 has ALOT of muscle for a console.

emk20045813d ago

i totally agree that kz2 has much better game play than crysis, and they still have the best animations, the hit detection is amazing. i still think crysis has a much better story than kz2 tho, i thought kz2 was forgettable in story, which is the one thing they really need to work on in number 3.

piroh533d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic533d 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.

Storm23533d 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.

lockedongamer1533d ago (Edited 533d 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!

Chocoburger523d ago

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

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

1Victor1099d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1099d ago

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

jznrpg1098d ago

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

badz1491098d 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!

Vengeance11381099d 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 Kim1099d ago

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

VersusDMC1099d 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?

Vengeance11381099d ago

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

solideagle1099d 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.

Phoenix761099d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

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

thesoftware7301099d ago (Edited 1099d 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.

blacktiger1098d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1099d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1099d ago (Edited 1099d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1099d ago

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

Imalwaysright1099d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1850d 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.

Applejack1850d 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_B1850d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1850d 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.

1850d ago
Vegamyster1850d 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.

SinkingSage1849d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1849d ago (Edited 1849d 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.

MadLad1849d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1850d ago

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
