Will i have to download it again? ive still got it from when i downloaded from the PS+ store, i can play against bots but not online, kinda assumin theyll just flick a switch and itll work

fl1pp135555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

Yes, you have to download it again. An update on Technoid.nl will follow soon..

SnakeMustDie5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

The new beta is basically a different code than the previous beta some of us got. It will include Move support and 3D and probably more optimized to run at 30fps constantly.

x8005555d ago

how long is the beta for?

zeksta5555d ago

Likely untill the game's release.

Also, This might be random, But is it me or do companies see "Beta" as a demo for most people?

Honestly, If it's a MP demo then state that, a beta is meant for test phases and reporting bugs/glitch and issues.

supremacy5555d ago

And maybe thats exactly what it is, a beta before the games release for potential release date patch/es and what not.

Rikuide_Furame5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

The beta runs until Feb 15th.

joydestroy5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

it will run until the 14th. so about a week before release

edit: yeah what Rikuide said

Rikuide_Furame5555d ago

Sorry I thought it was the 14th, but it's been extended until the 15th.

ddurand15554d ago

its always been the 15th

Tommykrem5555d ago

This good very is :) Forward I look for the beta to played be.
Seriously, is google translate ran by Yoda?

MidnytRain5555d ago

God, you totally butchered that. It'd be "Very good, this is." and "The beta, I look forward to playing."

Tommykrem5555d ago

No, actually Google translate would've gotten those two sentences completely right, so I was unfortunate with my choice of examples :( But I grow tired of Google translate texts after a while, even though it is pretty good.
Yoda is sort of beside the point here.

MidnytRain5555d ago

These are one of those times when I think, "Does Google realize that their translation system sucks? Are they even trying to do anything about it? Do they just say 'F**k it, it's good enough.'"?

Someone out there has to be thinking of a solution to this.

Tommykrem5550d ago

Yes, haha I wasn't arguing wether or not it has capabilities to improve! I love Google translate. It's the best online translator there is. Just pointing out that it doesn't work very well for this particular article.

joydestroy5555d ago

so 6AM est!? yes!
will set it up to download while i'm at work so it'll be waiting on me when i get home =)

Olvipoika5555d ago

multiplayer beta ends feb 15 if i remember correct ......

Pixel_Enemy5555d ago

But it was delayed a day so they might extend it to the 15th.

joydestroy5555d ago

@below

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic510d 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.

Storm23510d 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.

lockedongamer1510d ago (Edited 510d 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!

Chocoburger500d 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.

1Victor1076d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1076d ago

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

jznrpg1076d ago

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

badz1491075d 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!

Vengeance11381076d 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 Kim1076d ago

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

VersusDMC1076d 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?

Vengeance11381076d ago

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

solideagle1076d 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.

Phoenix761076d 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

REDGUM1075d ago

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

thesoftware7301076d ago (Edited 1076d 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.

blacktiger1075d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1076d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1076d ago (Edited 1076d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1076d ago

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

Imalwaysright1076d 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

MadLad1827d 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.

Applejack1827d 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_B1827d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1827d 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.

1827d ago
Vegamyster1827d 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.

SinkingSage1827d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1826d ago (Edited 1826d 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 Kim1827d ago

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

MadLad1826d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1827d 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.

Magatsuhi1827d ago

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

Binarycode1827d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1826d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
