ill sell my left nut to get in the beta, just kidden but damm i wanna play this game!

Megaton5712d ago

I was pretty excited when I got into the KZ2 closed beta. I was checking my email looking for an invite for Resistance 2, and discovered one for KZ2 instead. Made my day.

Karum5712d ago

That wasn't a bad consolation prize lol

The_Count5712d ago

How soon is the question :D

MisterNiwa5712d ago

For me, it was the other way around, just in my case, I wasn't happy. ;_;

WildArmed5712d ago

lol. Killzone 2 beta lost it's charm fast for me.
I barely played in the first phase of the closed beta.

But when the game came out, i couldn't stop playing.

Mainly because I dont really like playing w/o friends.

Simiarly how right now AC:B and DS2 beta are sitting on my ps3 with only 2 hours of gameplay each.

Game-ur5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

Just signed up to PSN+ and got AC: brotherhood beta was this for every subscriber or did I get lucky?

deafwing5712d ago

the are changing the only problems I had with KZ2

nveenio5712d ago

I hope they have an option for weightier controls. That was actually something I liked about KZ2. I'm not a fan of shooters particularly because of the twitch factor. KZ2's control scheme made it feel more "human".

sikbeta5712d ago

EPIC! no more words needed

KZ3D FTFW!!!

deafwing5711d ago

I kind of see your point there.

Developers just don't get it - gamers want as many options as possible. From the get go, you should have been given the option to change the weight ... or at least after you clear the game the first time ... I remember the devs *itching about that they wanted gamers to experience the game with heavy controls ...

my response is that's fine .. but give me the option to change it after I clear the game

pwnd_of_lol5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

For the coming flood of people saying that there is no need to fix the controls…Im right there with you. Its one of the aspects of the game which separates it from the crowd. However, even I cant deny that when Im playing a video game.In a shooter, aiming is arguably the most important part of the game and KZ2 got it wrong.

I’m kinda glad in this news. I liked KZ2 but the controls felt kinda heavy. Maybe way too much. I’d love them taking a lighter control scheme in between batlefield 2 and KZ2...

ZombieAutopsy5712d ago

I partly agree with you, I loved the heavy feel but I hated what felt like input lag...maybe it was because of the heavy feel aspect though I'm not sure. Either way I know I'll enjoy the game.

Sillyace925712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

yep, I'm glad they changed it.

crzyjackbauer5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

a better reflex scope
change the color on it
i couldn'tsee a thing on the green scope from the ISA assult riffle
and a little less recoil on it too
i always found myself changing it for up helghast weapons

-Alpha5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

Oh so now you guys are admitting it -_-

When I said this back when K2 was around people immediately assumed I wanted COD controls.

The fact of the matter was that the "lag" input ruined CQC and made sniping a pain as you had to "flick" your analog stick to make sure you were killing people. The patch they did in K2 fixed the lag greatly, but they seem to be making it even smoother. Killzone's heavy feel didn't come from the lag input, it came from the way the guns fired. That's what was so great about the feel.

There are other things that I disliked in Killzone 2, like the rocket class being so easy to abuse and spawn/nade spam, etc. I'd really like to play the beta as they seemed to have changed and redone so much.

Gamehead365712d ago

am i the only one who liked the input lag? it gave the feeling that you're a heavy soldier, while also requirimg much more skill without being frustrating. at least for me i guess. im afraid for killzone 3 :/

If i want battlefield controls ill play battlefield and if i want cod controls ill play cod

Heisenberg5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

Because I really did like the weighty feel of KZ2 controls. I don't mind them tightening it up some, as long as they keep some of the weight and realistic physics so you don't feel like you're floating around and can stop on a dime from a full out sprint, like in CoD.

I hope they don't over compensate, although I doubt they will, because the more realistic weight and feel of KZ2's controls was one of the aspects that helped set it apart from other typical FPS (among many other aspects, of course), I like the challenge, it made it much more satisfying to get a kill.

Edit:@Gamehead36 -- I totally agree, the heavy feel gave you a much better sense of the weight of the soldier, his armor and his gun(s), making it feel more (for lack of a better word) badass than your average FPS, IMO. The more realistic it feels, the easier it is to immerse ones self in the game, which is why I find it harder to get into it when I play a game like CoD and everyone floats around while spinning and jumping without the hindrance of friction and gravity.

RumbleFish5712d ago

The heavy feel was really extremely good, but that's possible without input lag I think.
If they need lag for that heavy feel, they ought to use it on the left stick only. If the aiming and the trigger are not affected, anything would be fine for me.

suckerpunch5712d ago

when KZ2 has heavy laggy control, you say its unique. now when the developer changed it to make it to be responsive like the rest of shooters, you say good

Kill Crow5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

For the flood of people who said it wasn't lag it was deliberate realism programmed in to make the guns feel heavier ... STOP LIVING IN DENIAL.

It was a defect. LAG. They made an effort to fix it in KZ2 by patching it and promised it would be fixed in KZ3.

It doesn't seperate it from the crowd and differently than all of COD MW2's glitches seperate it from the crowd.

I'm sure as hell its going to be the best fps ever, today i tried to give mw2 a chance but i totally hated it, killzone feels more realistic, cant wait for Killzone 3 with longer campaigns...

CantHaveOpinionsHere5712d ago

but seriously, the better controls and longer story makes it a winner for me

BoNeSaW235712d ago

I can't find anything on killzone.com!?

jony_dols5712d ago

As one of the 7 people that loved Killzone 1,
I just want the whole game ported over to the KZ3 engine,
but include secondary fire on weapons and add character selection before
each level.

Thanks Guerrilla, i'll expect a preview copy in the post for me to test out.

You have till December.

frjoethesecond5711d ago

I'm one of those kz2 lovers. Awesome game IMO.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic544d 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.

Storm23544d 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.

lockedongamer1544d ago (Edited 544d 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!

Chocoburger535d 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.

1Victor1110d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1110d ago

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

jznrpg1110d ago

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

badz1491110d 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!

Vengeance11381110d 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 Kim1110d ago

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

VersusDMC1110d 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?

Vengeance11381110d ago

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

solideagle1110d 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.

Phoenix761110d 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

thesoftware7301110d ago (Edited 1110d 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.

blacktiger1110d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1110d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1110d ago

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

Imalwaysright1110d 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

MadLad1861d 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.

Applejack1861d 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_B1861d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1861d 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.

1861d ago
Vegamyster1861d 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.

SinkingSage1861d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1861d ago (Edited 1861d 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.

MadLad1860d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1861d 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
