Well everyone out there who gave feedback should give themselves a pat on the back, you made Killzone 3 even better.

I think i left 2 much feedback when i was playing it lol. Don't if I can still play it online, haven't tried in like a week. Was raked 15, dk wut rank I'm now tho

JUDALATION5639d ago

I was in the Beta and other than matchmaking and spawn camping (which they sorta fixed with turrets in spawn points) This game was PERFECT! and I was even ok with the lack of weapons... Looks like they will be adding some more.... which will make this the best fps of all time! Sorry Uncharted You must now share the throne GG!

jdktech20105639d ago

How different is it from Killzone 2 and how different do you think it will be with changes? I bought Killzone 2 and played 3-4 hours and it's just not that amazing to me. As of now, KZ3 went from day 1 to a wait and see approach.

I wanted to aim down the sights in KZ2 but the controls are so "sloppy" (compared to COD and BC2 controls) and it just turned into a hipfire fest and I've already got a game that does that way better in Halo (imo) so I'm just wondering what KZ3 plays like so far

TheFreak5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

They have removed the lag in the controls, the controls are now more like cod bfbc controls

HINDERIZATION5639d ago

the online controls in KZ2 are faster than when you play the campaign.
though the controls are a little slow compared to CoD and BC2 it's just another control system you have to get used to. I've wasted plenty of hours on KZ2 online. It's a blast :D

deadreckoning6665639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

KZ3 plays great, it feels more accessible and it has less aim lag than KZ2 just as the devs promised. Although, I like the controls, you are right in that there are PLENTY of shooters out there that have a better "feel" to the aiming...such as Bad Company 2 which uve mentioned.

In BC2, the aiming is pitch-perfect IMO. Its a middle ground between KZ2 and COD.

"If you think BC2 is a twitch fest, you haven't played it or have seriously different tastes than I do. This is a game so I'm looking for fun controls and not realistic ones (but not too arcady like COD can be at times). I really like where BC2 is at control and recoil wise and I would be playing it a lot if I hadn't bought too many games this fall (gotta make time for em all)"

I agree, BC2's shooting mechanics are the best I've seen this generation. Its fun and challenging at the same time.

rezzah5639d ago

i never realized that simple looking down the barrel of a sniper gun can increase your accuracy by 90%.

Thats the true difference between KZ and the shooter you mentioned. Simply looking down the barrel of any gun does not increase accuracy because that is not reality.

That is why KZ is better than what you think is better, because its not a twitch fest.

jdktech20105639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

Thanks for the replies people....I was playing online btw Hinderization.....and I wasn't bad with a k/d of nearly 1.8 but it just wasn't fun. I loved the fact that the gametypes switched constantly....just throws a few wrinkles into the experience and I was in the zone so to say the first hour but after that it just kinda got meh.....and I went back to playing whatever

It's not that I hate Killzone or anything but if I can play Reach, BO and BC2 and maybe WoW or something else instead of putting 60 bucks down on a game I might not like, it's worth looking into.

The controls were the big thing so we'll see what happens. It's also strange playing a game (minus Halo) that doesn't pop up numbers when you kill someone....as shallow as it might be, it feels way better to have confirmation you've killed someone instead of just a beep when anyone dies.

@rezzah - If you think BC2 is a twitch fest, you haven't played it or have seriously different tastes than I do. This is a game so I'm looking for fun controls and not realistic ones (but not too arcady like COD can be at times). I really like where BC2 is at control and recoil wise and I would be playing it a lot if I hadn't bought too many games this fall (gotta make time for em all)

WhittO5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

@jdktech2010 I totally agree.

I really liked K2 SP and the MP for the most part, but one of the main problems I had with it (and a number of people I talk to) say the controls felt so slow and laggy, most games I played in MP turned into spawn point grenade fests lol.

Although the controls are probably more real than the "ultra-fast" aiming in cod, it is still a game and even after the update I still felt there was too much lag in aiming, and in the other controls in general tbh, like jumping there is almost 1-2 second delay before your character jumps!

Also, the menus could be really laggy and slow too, loading maps could take 40+ seconds and some games would last 30 minutes (which is just TOO long for a single FPS match), especially when stuck with a crap team knowing it will take about 5 min to go from leaving this game and to be playing in another match with all of the loading etc, so you end up waiting it out (which is no fun..).

I will still be getting the game anyway, especially since this has been improved. I just hope they learned from some mistakes from K2.

rezzah5639d ago

I will agree with you on some level of truth for BC2. But like you said, it is like between KZ and COD in terms of gameplay. There for i would agree it is not exactly like COD but similar to it more so than KZ in any way.

What makes KZ special from other FPS is that it has that heavy feel to it.

So in the end I guess its down to personal differences. I rather the KZ feel as the BC2 feel for you.

Dark-Cloud45638d ago

you don't like it because you suck , everyone who don't know how to play it will hate it , i saw alots of people like you , even my friends hate it because they don't know how to play and they admit it after i played with them a match and they really really really suuuuuuuuuucks ... this is the right answer for you

i know the gameplay is heavy but when you understand how the gameplay is you will like it because you will know how to play it ...

jdktech20105638d ago

So, dark cloud missed the point about me having a 1.8 K/D ratio through 3-4 hours.....someone needs reading comprehension (and apparently writing) skills

Then next term its 2D programming and software debugging/testing woot!

bananasNmonkeys5639d ago

C'mon Guerilla do yourself and everyone else a favour and remove the weightiness COMPLETELY.

rezzah5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

Go play black ops if you cant handle variety.

@Below

A variety is the differences in something whether is be similar or completly different. In this case it can be similar or different based on the veiw of the person.

Similar - when comparing 2 or more FPS. The control are similar because of the gameplay style. Which is controlling a body and shooting with a veiw from the eyes of the person you play.

Different - Comparing a FPS to an RPG. There is no similarities in controls as the gameplay styles are different. However that can be some exceptions such as a Stealth game like MGS4, where it implemented a FPS gameplay option.

And incase you needed to know, I said Black ops because it, like the majority of FPS out there, is a twitch fest. And no thats not my opinion, because the game simply does not add realism at all except for some possibilities within the story mode. So basically if you like to twitch in war, dont complain about one game that doesnt, and go play something mroe to your likeing.

bananasNmonkeys5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

How are controls linked to variety?

soundslike5639d ago

how are bananas related to monkeys???????????????????

Shadowolf5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

If Guerrilla did that then it just wouldn't be KILLZONE. I don't know if you've played the beta but the controls are a leap above KILLZONE 2. I'm certainly a fan of the COD series but I'm of the opinion that it is more satisfying and takes more skill to kill your multiplayer enemy in the KILLZONE universe then the quick and frantic pacing kills of the COD series.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic538d 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.

Storm23538d 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.

lockedongamer1538d ago (Edited 538d 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!

Chocoburger529d 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.

1Victor1104d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1104d ago

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

jznrpg1104d ago

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

badz1491103d 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!

Vengeance11381104d 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 Kim1104d ago

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

VersusDMC1104d 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?

Vengeance11381104d ago

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

solideagle1104d 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.

Phoenix761104d 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

thesoftware7301104d ago (Edited 1104d 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.

blacktiger1104d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1104d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1104d ago

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

Imalwaysright1104d 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

MadLad1855d 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.

Applejack1855d 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_B1855d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1855d 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.

1855d ago
Vegamyster1855d 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.

SinkingSage1855d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1855d ago (Edited 1855d 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.

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

MadLad1854d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1855d 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
