VideoGamer: Killzone 3 Hands-On

Three separate chunks of Killzone 3 are up for grabs in today's code. The first kicks off with Sev and Rico - the Special Forces frontmen of the past two games - leading an airborne attack on the alien Helghast, using some kind of jet-powered craft to soar through the hostile skies of an Arctic landscape.

''As I approach the top of a frozen ridge I pause for a moment, staring down into the grey sea below. The icey waves chop and foam, and above them flecks of snow are borne aloft on coastal winds. The landscape is cruel and yet almost unbearably pretty, and if I had time I could sit here for ages. Unfortunately I can't do that right now; I'm in one of Sony's private E3 rooms, and three impatient Dutchmen are breathing down my neck. Everyone wants their turn, it would seem - and under the circumstances, that's hardly surprising. As things currently stand, Killzone 3 may well be the best-looking game in existence. (It's hard to be definitive about these things, but it's certainly a distinct possibility.)''

People seem to be really imppresed about the game.

Syronicus5807d ago

Sums it up for me. KZ2 was truly a spectacle and I would expect nothing shy of near-perfection for KZ3.

wanaraceu5808d ago

Yea it sounds awesome!! I will be getting it that's 4 sure! I would realy like a 3D tv 2. I went to JB HIFI today and they had plazma 3ds there for the same price old plazmas were a few moths ago. I can't afford 1 yet but I will be saving 4 one.

Morituri5808d ago

" I have little doubt that Killzone 3 could help to sell a shedload of new PS3s, because as far as console exclusives go, this will probably be the hottest girl in the club. More importantly, the game's action is already seriously tasty, offering some of the best thrills of anything I played at this year's E3. February 2011 can't come soon enough."

Truer words were never spoken my limey friend.

Again, this is pre-frigging-alpha. Think about that in silence for a moment people. Just think.

MGRogue20175807d ago (Edited 5807d ago )

Guerrilla Games mentioned in an article I read that there was going to be a lot more variety in terms of level design & the environments.., they said that they felt Killzone 2 was far too linear & corridor-like

Can't wait to see what they meant by that. :D

dale15807d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic536d 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.

Storm23536d 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.

lockedongamer1536d ago (Edited 536d 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!

Chocoburger527d 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.

1Victor1103d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1103d ago

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

jznrpg1102d ago

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

badz1491102d 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!

Vengeance11381103d 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 Kim1103d ago

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

VersusDMC1103d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

REDGUM1102d ago

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

thesoftware7301103d ago (Edited 1103d 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.

blacktiger1102d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1103d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d 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

MadLad1853d 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.

Applejack1853d 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_B1853d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1853d 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.

Vegamyster1853d 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.

SinkingSage1853d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1853d ago (Edited 1853d 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.

AzubuFrost1853d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1853d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1853d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1853d 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

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1853d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1853d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1853d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
