BG - Killzone 3 Preview

I was expecting to be blown away when I sat down to play a beta version of Killzone 3. That didn’t happen because Killzone 3 suffers from a terminal case of sequelitis: Killzone 2 blew me away with its impressive visuals, highly responsive gameplay, addictive multiplayer and gritty brutality but Killzone 3 doesn’t feel like enough of a change to have the same impact. I felt the same way playing Modern Warfare 2, a game that tried to find new success in a new success.

Worst preview ever.

Bobbykotickrulesz5676d ago

This article is so cool.

I was impressed with his lack of common sense.

NecrumSlavery5676d ago

if your going to be negative and nitpick, a least be insightful, smart or funny. Don't just say OMG THIS IZ DOOMED..Then you sound like an Edge employee

" I’d rather have a meatier single-player and multiplayer with more modes, some new weapons, new enemies and more ammo than a jet-pack, dramatic cut-scenes and over-the-top knife kills"

well if you actually saw the interviews with GG you would know that they are working on a stronger single player, the multiplayer is going through a complete overhaul and there will be new modes like co-op, new weapons have been shown, and there are new enemies. Obviously your not gonna get all of that in a demo/beta .
This is a troll preview from a troll website desperate for hits, it was poorly written, im not takin this guys word for it, especialy when virtualy every single preview from credible sites has been positive.

HorsePowerr5676d ago

Well [nuff] said.
bubbles.

moosehound5675d ago

So what justification do you have that our site is a "troll" site my friend? Being as we are multi-format, multi-genre and in no way desperate for hits. If we were a troll site in need of hits do you honestly think Sony would of invited us to an exclusive preview evening?

Please try to be a little less offensive in the future - if you can that is.

Harry's preview was exactly that - a preview - nobody has played the game to completion. I suggest if you want that level of detail you should wait for teh reviews to hit rather than reading the previews.

Oh and FYI - there were 4 games on show at the event and it lasted 4 hours so about 30 - 40 mins was spent playing each title at least. More than enough to get a general idea of the direction of the game and the initial improvements in place.

Thanks for everyone's input and feedback.

I don't know what you are complaining about. He was very precise in his comments. Anyone outside of the Brand name gamer could see everything he discussed. Rico giving Sev an ass grab over a ledge. The whole six axis thing with the detonators. Jet packs that you can't fly around in UNLESS your the enemies. It's all based around dark/murky corridors AGAIN. They added an on rails shooting section to pick up the action from the slow FPS gameplay. The on rails section was like a ride at a theme park with you having no control. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but it's off to a rocky start.

The trailer was worse with the obvious Naughty dog influence. You can expect twice as many pre-rendered cines now and green screen back drops that have nothing to do with gameplay, like UC 2. Sev is wearing a tee shirt in a snow storm while the Helganese ( lol ) are wearing fur coats.

Sony forcing Guerrilla to adopt 3D and the Sony Move have caused a major distraction. I suspect the game will be delayed till holiday 2011.

Here's the trailer and ( first ) E3 demo...it's there if you " chose " to see it...

Here's the trailer...what happen to the graphics...it looks cell shaded. Sev ( Indiana Drake ) wearing a tee shirt in a snow storm...wtf.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

DigitalRaptor5676d ago (Edited 5676d ago )

You are simply crazy. There is no other word for it.

How is it off to a rocky start when the footage that they have shown and given hands-on time with has been 98% positive?

The game will be out in Feb-March 2011 and I would be willing to bet on it.

And cel-shaded? what are you smoking?

It's clear you're desperate for this game to fail, using any excuse or wishful thinking you can. Move support hindering the game? A trailer means there will be more CG cutscenes? Who's ass did you pull that out of? You are desperate. Clutching at straws, from a no-name blogger who is in the vast minority who found it to be bad. Try harder cez, you impossible fanboy.

fooltheman5676d ago

You do know that sev in that trailer is killzone 2 model?
And then the brown and gray are part of the killzone world...
What I've seen is very asmospheric...

tinybigman5676d ago (Edited 5676d ago )

you are by far the worst fanboy on this god forsaken site. we all know you hate sony and the playstation brand so stop commenting on playstation articles ok.

here's a question for you did you ever own a PS1/PS2, or did you just go from SNES straight to xbox? you are right up there with Omega and the other nutso fanboys on this site.

on topic i'm not taking the word of this idiot writer because he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

thief5676d ago

"doesn’t feel like enough of a change to have the same impact"
Expect variations of the same comment on practically every PS3 exclusive, yet strangely absent for copy-paste sequels such as Halo 3/ ODST/Reach, Gears 2 or Forza 3

I was trying to understand the opinion from this user. But I stop reading when I read: ''Both Killzone 2 and 3 look brilliant but there’s not much Guerilla Games can improve upon''.

Sigh. And still, this person is comparing the sequel to MW2.

Opinion from a Pre-Alpha Stage game.

capjacksparrow5676d ago

How on earth can you say all this based on three levels? He said he wants a meatier single player with more multiplayer, how does he know he isn't getting it?

redsquad5676d ago

Three levels with the SAME environment too!

Very 'insightful' opinion piece. I'm sure he feels the snow in KZ2 hasn't been improved upon for KZ3... oh wait there WAS no snow in KZ2. There's one significant improvement right away: More diversity in settings.

This guys complaining about ammo shortage?! Its called pulse fire you idiot!! This isn't a spray n' pray game. It takes skill. Not just unloading as many bullets as possible. Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine. Go cry some more.

CoxMulder5676d ago

That's burst fire you're talking about, but I agree.

There are a lot of things in this article that don't sit right with me, the "jetpack 1 hit kills" for instance, is an outright lie.

Leads me to believe he never even played it himself, only glanced at the videos, and gets a lot of stuff wrong.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic452d 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.

Storm23452d 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.

lockedongamer1452d ago (Edited 452d 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!

Chocoburger443d 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.

1Victor1018d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1018d ago

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

jznrpg1018d ago

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

badz1491017d 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!

Vengeance11381018d 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 Kim1018d ago

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

VersusDMC1018d 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?

Vengeance11381018d ago

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

solideagle1018d 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.

Phoenix761018d 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

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

thesoftware7301018d ago (Edited 1018d 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.

blacktiger1018d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1018d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1018d ago (Edited 1018d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1018d ago

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

Imalwaysright1018d 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

MadLad1769d 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.

Applejack1769d 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_B1769d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1769d 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.

1769d ago
Vegamyster1769d 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.

SinkingSage1769d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1769d ago (Edited 1769d 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.

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

MadLad1768d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1769d 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.

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
