day 1!
gonna be epic campaign,and multiplayer oh my... gief now!

Dante1125574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

Sweet, those maps look like they're gonna be pretty big, also, isn't there some sort of preorder deal where you get a couple of more maps (fan fav DLC maps from KZ2) as well? Can't wait.

"After weeks of fighting, ISA and Helghast forces are deadlocked. Recent flooding has forced both sides to take shelter in buildings bordering a major thoroughfare. Pitched battles roll through the tight alleyways and building interiors daily but the long sightlines make crossing the road a dangerous proposition. Who will break the stalemate?"

:)

Serjikal_Strike5574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

I dont know if theyre all that big...look at JUNGLE map its only 16 player(8vs8)
and at least the others are 24 player...
But Im disappointed that it went from 32 to 24..
I wonder what the reason for that was?

if anybody feels like bashing me...I was in the BETA ,so I have played 3 of those maps

Dante1125574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

Maybe for a smoother experience (to ease up on the framerate) and I can't recall if 3D had anything to do with it but maybe that. 32 players on CORINTH HIGHWAY got pretty hectic on KZ2, especially when the explosion effects picked up, so I'm not mad at them.

Edit: Idk, Frozen Dam from the beta as well as the other city map seems pretty large, like the size of or maybe larger than the P. RISE map from KZ2.

Graphical, lighting, particle, and AI enhancements most likely, Serjikal. There's only so much you can process at once.

So, we get the good with the bad. At least it's still a good number of people with options between 24 and 16 man gameplay modes. And, even better, local co-op without any degradation of graphical quality.

We'll likely see this pop back up to 32 or even 64 on the next evolution of the hardware.

joydestroy5574d ago

yeh there were some pretty epic times in KZ2 MP with all the people. i liked some of the maps like that though but 12vs12 is okay.

Holeran5574d ago

Yes there is 2 maps from KZ2 coming with certain pre orders of KZ3. The 2 most liked maps from KZ2.

WhittO5574d ago

I prefer less people, All of K2 seems it was designed to be more strategic and work as a team, not run out on your own taking down as many other players with you lol.

LBP2 will hold me over till this releases! I can't wait tho!

Those maps look amazing. I love KZ for it's game play and definitely for it's amazing graphics. They aren't even gimped for multiplayer! The class system adds strategy along with the game types so it isn't run and gun twitch shooting every man for himself COD style.

Christopher5574d ago

Kaznan Jungle looks very interesting. Can't wait to see some video of it.

Larry L5574d ago

Greatest War Speech ever written....eat your heart out Winston Churchill.

And the greatest video game into movie of all time.

God, I loved Killzone 1. In a number of way I actually liked it more than 2 due to things like split-sceen, secondary fire on all weapons, and a vast array of different environments from Jungles to Swamps, to Snowy Canyons to Grimey Trenches to City Blocks to Malls to Coastal Beaches to a Space Station to a University Square completely covered in pink and white cherry blossom type leaves. The variety was amazing and most of those environs also made it to multi-player as well.

This is why I'm so excited for Killzone 3. It has the graphics and feel of Killzone 2 with some of the features of Killzone 1 coming back, including it's environment variety.

Jack-Pyro5574d ago

It's a good speech, don't get me wrong, but to compare it to Churchill is like comparing a Corvette to a Ferrari, both are nice, but you know which one is superior...

visualb5574d ago

maybe because one is real =P

GiggMan5574d ago

I just got this warm fuzzy feeling all of a sudden...

SuperbVillain5574d ago

thats what happend to me,then as soon as I knew it i jizzed all over myself.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic516d 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.

Storm23516d 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.

lockedongamer1516d ago (Edited 516d 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!

Chocoburger506d 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.

1Victor1082d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1082d ago

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

jznrpg1081d ago

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

badz1491081d 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!

Vengeance11381082d 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 Kim1082d ago

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

VersusDMC1082d 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?

Vengeance11381082d ago

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

solideagle1082d 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.

Phoenix761082d 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

thesoftware7301082d ago (Edited 1082d 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.

blacktiger1081d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1082d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1082d ago (Edited 1082d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1081d ago

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

Imalwaysright1081d 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

MadLad1833d 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.

Applejack1833d 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_B1833d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1833d 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.

1833d ago
Vegamyster1832d 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.

SinkingSage1832d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1832d ago (Edited 1832d 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 Kim1832d ago

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

MadLad1832d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1832d 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.

Magatsuhi1832d ago

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

Binarycode1832d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1832d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
