Killzone 3 Move preview: Point and shoot | Joystiq

Two months from now, Sony will launch its latest salvo in the first-party, first-person shooter wars, Killzone 3. While we've already taken a look at the game's single-player (in 3D) and multiplayer modes, we've previously only see a brief video demonstration of another one of its bullet-point features: PlayStation Move support.

The-Tentacle5642d ago

Awesome stuff, I can't wait to try Move with this game. Already playing the beta and it kicks a$$! Add Move to that and the gameplay is bordering on perfection.

Cratos87805642d ago

so according to this preview - Move is totally better than Dualshock!

Parapraxis5642d ago (Edited 5642d ago )

Well...it sounds pretty awesome for the single player campaign, we'll have to see how it pans out for the multiplayer.

But either way KZ3 + Move = win!!!!
=D
My first run through will be with Move for sure.

MarcusFenixITA5642d ago

Can't wait to play this game with my new PS3. So many great games coming 2011.

blackburn55642d ago

It's offical. KZ3 + Move + 3D = Awesome!!!!!!!

djreplay5642d ago

Me like the sound of this.

SnakeMustDie5642d ago

The move implementation is kinda cool. Especially the official gun attachment.

Welshy5642d ago

the official gun isnt so good for "proper" games tbh =/ i bought one and its awesome for stuff like The Shoot and Time Crisis 4 which are on rails but if yourplaying Razing Storm or KZ3 which take up your other hand with the Nav you cant press the move button to cover or square to reload etc =/

fooltheman5642d ago

he's talking about the new gun attachment

theonlylolking5642d ago

The move's lock on better not be in MP.

jessupj5642d ago

Agreed, I don't want noobs killing me just because of that. But knowing Guerilla, I could probably safely bet my life that it won't be in online multiplayer.

mastiffchild5642d ago

Nah, won't be. What will hamper Move users in MP, on the other hand, is the slower look/turn you get without a right stick to control those movements. Even with zero bounding box size and upped sensitivity(which actually makes it too skittish for me anyway)on The Conduit on Wii in MP STILL felt like you turned slower when I went back to trad pad shooters. Has to be a happy medium way round it, mind, and GG could be getting close to it but, if I had to, I'd put my money on Zipper getting the Move MP controls as competitive with pads as anyone.

As far as the SP controls got, though, both KZ3 and Socom are looking easily as harp and more accurate than the b best Wii shooters we've seen and it's a shame that so few have taken up the added help of M+. What I've experienced of Move with Mag so far indicates a better integration and more accuracy than I've had with MP3 or RS2 on the Wii-or the Conduit. RS2 was the only one of those using the newer peripheral and, to be fair, in the swordplay it really worked but was not noticed in gunplay at all yet I CAN tell Move is more accurate-why

Whatever, I think a few pad lovers may get converted. Hell, I used to be a big mouse/keyboard zealot when sheer performance at whatever cost was my PC shooting bag but since then I've found that most people having a pad on line on consoles makes that a fairer test of skill and that mouse/keys can often allow me to do things just TOO fast to the point it ruins immersion. What controls you like isn't just down to what works , mechanically, the best, imho as there's fairness and immersion to consider as well. Not saying K/M heads are wrong just saying that you never know how you might feel as things change and so can what's important to you in your gaming and if notion controls are a viable option why not?

soundslike5642d ago

"Nah, won't be. What will hamper Move users in MP, on the other hand, is the slower look/turn you get without a right stick to control those movements."

It bothers me greatly that developers haven't done the obvious yet.

GOLDENEYE CONTROLS

The modern controls work perfect for twin sticks, but its obvious that a change is needed to give the Move full control. And it is quite obvious

By default, have aiming the Move move the camera like the right stick, HOWEVER, instead of only locking the camera, have a button free the aiming from the camera's motion just like goldeneye. It's the best of both.

That's just the start, I think the solutions to Move FPS controls are counter-intuitive to actually think about but in reality will work better. For example it might be best to actually remove strafing from the left stick and return to foward/turn altogether, and perhaps control strafing elsewhere. What I mean by this is what yoda once put as:

"You must unlearn what you have learned..."...fps developers.

Bolts5642d ago

People need to stop billing MAG's Move controls as mouse like. Thats false advertising and I bought a Move and stick because of it. There is NOTHING mouse like about it. In fact it's most unmouse like controls scheme I have ever encountered, and the DS3 despite being a control pad is a hell lot more mouse like than MAG's Move controls.

Mouse like FPS controls implies that your aiming point is fixed and you can make precise and rapid movements to fire on a target. MAG's Move controls on the other hand is this completely weird mixture of RTS style target acquisition where your aiming point must navigate all over the damn screen and FPS style strafing. This is extremely hard to do when you're in a game with 64 peeps who are trying to kill you.

So yeah, thank god there's a lock for Killzone 3.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic551d 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.

Storm23551d 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.

lockedongamer1551d ago (Edited 551d 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!

Chocoburger542d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

jznrpg593d ago

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga592d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken592d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77593d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2592d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1117d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1117d ago

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

jznrpg1117d ago

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

badz1491117d 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!

Vengeance11381117d 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 Kim1117d ago

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

VersusDMC1117d 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?

Vengeance11381117d ago

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

solideagle1117d 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.

Phoenix761117d 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

REDGUM1117d ago

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

thesoftware7301117d ago (Edited 1117d 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.

blacktiger1117d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1117d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1117d ago (Edited 1117d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1117d ago

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

Imalwaysright1117d ago

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