Guerrilla cuts Killzone pad lag

Digital Foundry writes: Guerrilla Games is promising tighter, more responsive controls for the forthcoming Killzone 3.

Writing on the official Killzone site, Guerrilla Game Director Mathijs de Jonge described the difficult decisions the team took in addressing this highly contentious issue. On the one hand, the response from the controls was the subject of much criticism from many gamers. On the other, the sensation of weight and inertia was one of the defining features of the game's primary handshake with the player.

they will complain?? LMFAO....at least we know the game will cater to all gamers and will give options to all players on how they want to experience the game

inception1235785d ago (Edited 5785d ago )

yeah now all the cod and halo retards can ruin kz3 like they do those games.

rdgneoz35785d ago

I liked the feel of weight when playing it, separated it from COD or Halo. Weapons do have weight, they aren't light as a feather...

Reminds me of http://www.msxbox-world.com... , "Cheetah (incredibly fast cat)- someone's been sitting at the barracks practising through rain or shine how to swap an SMG for a shotgun in less than 1 second"

@inception123 Knowning GG, you won't have KZ3 being hacked any time soon, at least one little ray of hope.

inception1235785d ago

there won't be hacks maybe but you will still get the cod campers and halo cry babies.

Fanb0y5785d ago

For all you 'weight' lovers...

What are your opinions on Battlefield Bad Company 2's responsiveness?

MysticStrummer5785d ago

Catering to the CoD-heads is not catering to all gamers. It's catering to the masses, AKA the lowest common denominator. It's too bad. There are already plenty of shooters like that around. @tdrules - There's nothing hardcore about CoD-style games. They are too common to be hardcore. Games made to appeal to the masses are never hardcore.

thebudgetgamer5785d ago

they got rid of the things people complained about and the same people bitched that it wasn't enough like the first game.

alphakennybody5785d ago

no matter what they do, people just loves to complain. Its sad world we live in unfortunately.

madjedi5784d ago (Edited 5784d ago )

I loved the first resistance, the second lost the lone survivor/survival horror creeping atmosphere and the gritty and dirty levels that made the first on so good.

The removal of the weapon wheel was a dumbass idea, if i wanted to be forced to choose to weapons i would have played a generic fps, thats like a rachet game with 2 weapons.

Now i loved the hell out of the coop missions, i would have bought coop maps if they would have released some. Take the look and feel of the first game, keep and expand on the coop missions and level of details on part 2, bring back the weapon wheel with some more interesting weapons like the first one a r3 will be gold to me.

Btw did anyone miss the original alpha grims, the tall fast lanky bastards and split skulls from the first one. the monsters in the first one seemed cooler/more deadly

DA_SHREDDER5785d ago

For their sake, I hope they do fix this issue. If so many of my friends plan on getting this, unless they dont revamp the online.

ZombieNinjaPanda5785d ago

Revamp the online? What is there to revamp? You're saying it needs to be remade?

lolucrazy.

duplissi5785d ago

its already pretty good but it could use some work: add a party system and viola! its now much better than most other shooters.

dkgshiz5785d ago

The online in KZ2 is probably the best Ive ever played.

Ahmay5784d ago

the match making works well...

alphakennybody5785d ago

the online is one the best multiplayer experience out now.

DA_SHREDDER5785d ago (Edited 5785d ago )

Yeah, I cant stand the regular TDM , CTF, or other simple game types since I've been playing MAG. Nothing seems close to the immersion that MAG brings to the table within its pmc wars that go on a daily basis. Nothing comes close, nothing on pc, the 360, or any other platform. They need to incorporate a meaningful online or this is just gonna be a standard fps to me, no matter how gorgeous the game is.

Why is it that people think its only the cod crowd that wants the controller input lag fixed? Its so funny cause you guys on n4g act all high and mighty, yall just a bunch of arm chair journalist. I hope they fix the lag and online so I can finally find a game to take me away from MAG.

MysticStrummer5785d ago

Nothing will take you from MAG, because there is nothing else like it on consoles and Killzone 3 will be no exception. It's too bad more people don't get into MAG, but it's not nearly mindless enough for the average FPS player. They want run and gun BS. They want to get in a minor skirmish and call it a war. MAG is my favorite online FPS of this generation by far. Hopefully more people will check it out at the cheaper price. It probably won't happen though.

kneon5785d ago

I saw it last week bundled with the PS3 Bluetooth headset for $60. That's one great deal so hopefully that pulled in a few more people.

While I love MAG and KZ2 I haven't been playing much of either the last few months. There are just too many other games to catch up on for me. I think I've bought about 20 games so far this year and still have 5 or 6 that I haven't even started. I did put a small dent in the backlog the past few days, I bought Resistance 1 and 2 a few days ago and played them both to completion, just finished 2 a few minutes ago.

I'll be back on MAG soon.

BuIIetproofish_5785d ago (Edited 5785d ago )

Bunch of cowards/sellouts. Killzone 2 sold fine, there was no reason to completely remove the weighted feeling.

Edit: The funny thing is the CoD players will always go back to CoD in the end. All they are doing is fucking the people that will play this game for a long time. I guess it works out for them, sell more copies, have less people use their online.

dkgshiz5785d ago

This is what COD does to games. Oh, well. I guess I dont mind. It still is pretty sad to see how many FPS games imitate COD controls.

piroh541d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic541d 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.

Storm23541d 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.

lockedongamer1541d ago (Edited 541d 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!

Chocoburger531d 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.

1Victor1107d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1107d ago

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

jznrpg1107d ago

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

badz1491106d 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!

Vengeance11381107d 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 Kim1107d ago

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

VersusDMC1107d 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?

Vengeance11381107d ago

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

solideagle1107d 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.

Phoenix761107d 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

REDGUM1106d ago

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

thesoftware7301107d ago (Edited 1107d 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.

blacktiger1106d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1107d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1107d ago (Edited 1107d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1107d ago

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

Imalwaysright1107d ago

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

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

MadLad1858d 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.

Applejack1858d 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_B1858d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1858d 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.

1858d ago
Vegamyster1858d 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.

SinkingSage1858d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1857d ago (Edited 1857d 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.

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

Shane Kim1858d ago

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

MadLad1857d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1858d 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.

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

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
