IGN: Killzone 3 Review

Along with its fun multiplayer, Killzone 3 is so enjoyable because it’s a not just a shooter, it’s an experience. Guerilla has crafted scene after gorgeous scene that made me feel like you’re a part of a brutal, human war that is somehow fantastic in setting but also eerily reminiscent of the wars we see on TV. Combine this with the superb pacing and you have a campaign that’s totally fun despite its boring characters and uninspired story. This may not be the best game on the PS3, but it’s a fantastic option for shooter fans, and the type of title that non-PS3 owners are sure to envy.

Shanks5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Great score!

edit:

Weaker story than Killzone 2? I don't think so.

Schism205502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

its wrong its actually 8.5 but still good

He said the story wasnt very good its his opinion tho dont matter I cant wait for the beta and this game had it preordered months ago.

guigsy5502d ago

Great score, but that's a 0.9 decrease in score from Killzone 2. What happened?

Istanbull5502d ago

Did they give Black Ops a higher score than this? Lmao, there goes your credibility.

M-Easy5502d ago

I seen this coming when this idiot previewed the game and obviously had no idea what he was talking about. I mean Helghast=Nazis? WTF!!

Tikicobra5502d ago

M-Easy = Helghast are totally Nazis. Have you not noticed that this game is basically World War 2 in space? That's the point.

TheLastGuardian5502d ago

Storys in FPS game are rarely ever good. If that's all he had against the game he should've given it a 9.5

I think the beta goes live for me in 30 minutes. Can't wait.

darthkai5502d ago

"Killzone 3's story holds it back"

Yeah, like Call of Duty's story was so enlightening...

An airport massacre leads to Russia invading the U.S.
Mhm, sure...

IGN MW2 Presentation: 9.5

Nuff said.

syanara5502d ago

@ IGN is biased comments

really guys? who cares? from the review IGN said it's a great game for any PS3 owner so what are you complaining about the SCORE? the only thing I would complain about is no online co-op and if u wanna complain about the score look at gamespots score its the exact same wouldn't that mean both companies are biased? or do they just have their own opinion?

Tr10wn5502d ago

At least that scene was something everyone was talking about and i'm pretty sure no one will talk about the guy from KZ3 who learn to use Jet Packs lol.

Brewski0075502d ago

People complaining of an 8.5 should be ashamed. You haven't even played it yet to make up your mind. This is the reviewers opinion. In my books im hoping for a really good fun game and i can't wait to get my hands on it. . . but seriously some people think games they havent even played deserve 9.5's and 10's , its a little sad really.

Winter47th5502d ago

Videogame journalists, lol.

Digitaldude5502d ago

Hmm, I actually liked the witten review alot but the score really did not reflect what he was saying.
His only problem in the whole review was boring characters and bad story which may very well be valid but didn't MW2 have that? and that got 9.5
Can't wait for my Helghast Edition.

arika5502d ago

cod 4, gears of war 2 won oscars for their story right? wrong! they have an ok story line but they still received 9.5 and above from ign. every fps on this generation never had amazing story they are just ok just like killzone 3, but the main difference in killzone 3 is its unrivaled graphics which is universal among all the reviewers that we have read.

shooterexpert5502d ago

I don't understand the complaints, nobody here has played it, ign has.

How can you possibly think the game deserves a higher score , you never played it.

This just boggles the mind.

Gamers are just too entitled now and way too opinionated.

BattleAxe5502d ago

If this game was called Halo, it would have gotten a 9.5/10.....You can't trust game reviews.

Ju5502d ago

I had the feeling that guy sounded nervous in the review. I guess this game is just a little too big to get reviewed by those kids. Either he got pressure or didn't know where to put that game. He certainly wasn't a fan of the first - at least not from an excitement factor. Maybe that's what he tried to do. Not being too excited or something. Not sure. Whole thing doesn't make sense.

And no, KZ3 is not "one of the best looking games". It IS the best looking game where others will be benchmarked against (not the other way round). That alone deserves it's own rating class. 8.5 ? If points don't matter, why even use them. 8.5 for an blockbuster title like that. No, there's something wrong. Some people don't appreciate the effort which went into making a game like KZ3. W/e. Just me, I guess.

IcarusOne5502d ago

OFF TOPIC: I disagree with those who claim COD's story is lame. I haven't played black-ops, but MW1&2 were the very definition of epic blockbuster. They feature espionage, betrayal, politics, and nukes. And what impressed me the most was how they did it.

When the bomb went off in MW, I felt it and my jaw dropped and I was exhilerated. When the choppers started falling out of the sky in MW2, I was practically screaming with adrenaline. They're well-paced, well-written globe-trotting action thrillers with more brains than most Hollywood efforts.

Maybe it's the modern day setting that helps me identify with those games, but the presentation in KZ2 did not engage me at all. Two thirds of the way through the game I had no idea what codes the Helghast were trying to obtain and for what or why. The whole story is very vague and underwritten. It's like they didn't want anything getting in the way of the gameplay, story and character included. I think about Roach and Pryce and I think of them as legends. Sev and Rico just come off as whiny bitches who got lost on their way to war.

Seriously, fuck Rico. I cannot stress this enough. The game is awesome very much DESPITE him, not because of him.

Ducky5502d ago

> Fans hype game.
> IGN doesn't give it 10/10
> Fans rage and call IGN biased
> Fans hype next game.

Keep the process rolling guys. There's obviously a hidden agenda against you.

Active Reload5502d ago

" It IS the best looking game where others will be benchmarked against (not the other way round)."

Thats your opinion, and you're entitled to it. But I respectfully disagree...

ReservoirDog3165502d ago

Actually CoD4's story was really well done. It would be a good action movie the likes of which we haven't had since Die Hard 1, Predator ect.

Story being weak is concerning for me but it's basically a nonissue at this point. Broker than I care to admit and still have an almost comically high stack of games I need to finish. Couldn't justify buying it even if it got the world's first 13.4/10.

So, to all those people who'll only jump straight online, have fun. To all those people who'll take the review as a black mark as if an 8.5 is a bad score, have fun. I'll be playing my huge backlog of games.

NeoBasch5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Depends. A story can make or break a game. For instance I thought Mass Effect 2 had a weak story and was rather uninspired. The highest I could give it is an 8, and that would be solely for gameplay and a couple of the characters. The music in the game was highly overrated as well.

HolyOrangeCows5502d ago

It's amazing how reviewers will give games like COD a free-pass on things like story and then eat other games alive for not being Oscar material.

"A great place for Sony to start 2011"
I guess the sequel to GOTY 2008 doesn't count? You know, the one with the 3+ million user-created levels?

"While they [the melee attacks] are a little gimmicky..."
I'll bet he squeals with glee every time he gets a chainsaw kill in GeOW.

And he's so full of crap saying that using the DS3 is "vastly superior" to the Move controls. He probably tried them for two minutes before pumping out the review.

[Note: Before you make a jackass of yourself, don't claim that I'm complaining about the score, instead of the review content]

frostyhat1235502d ago

Fanboy:KZ3 is th3 b3st g3m3 3v3r!!!!!!!!!!!! I hav3 n3v3r play3d it but i know its amzing!!!!!!.....

You guys have never played it and you think it deserves a 9.5. How does that make sense?

Headquarters115502d ago

Killzone 3 beta is AWESOME. I am amazed at how much they have improved this game. I can't wait until Feb.22!!

Headquarters115502d ago

IF this game is an 8.5 then Halo Reach is DEFINITELY a 7.0 or worse. That game is pure garb compared to this. This game is fucking amazing, wow, the changes made to the gameplay is shocking

Snake Raiser5502d ago

Did you really miss the one part of the story that was good?
Now people who know me on this site from a while ago know that i've been a PS3 fan for years, but let's just admit that the story is not the strong suit of Killzone. Honestly I don't know what they have been working on this whole time. Other than minor changes to the control scheme, updated (just a little) graphics and minor adjustments to the online I don't know what they had to change from killzone 2 to killzone 3. The only major thing was the plot. I'm not asking for MGS5 here, just a good plot with some decent characters. (PS. Why did they kill off the only likable character in KZ2?)

pain777pas5502d ago

This is a PS3 exclusive early in the year. Politics will get it marked down 360 has no counter. Probably better story and game than KZ2. This is probably a really great game. Judge for yourselves in a few weeks. Some site will come through with the facts and debunk this. Hang tight, IGNorants are biased.

bakasora5502d ago

Story is worth 1.5 points?

TheFreak5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Didn't think the story would be good. The strenghts of the killzone series are the gameplay, enemy ai, graphics and the hardcore action from beginning to end. KZ2 was so hardcore it almost made my head explode. Can't wait can't wait feb 22 you better get her fast.

fear885502d ago

The way I hear it, is that Greg Miller was supposed to review the game but instead the higher-ups decided to let one of the interns have the review because they thought that Greg would be too biased towards favoring the game.

Ironically they give fans of Halo and Call of Duty the same franchise reviews but yet in the case of killzone its not fair to have someone that favors the previous game reviewing the sequel.

I am not so much of an opinionated person but wouldn't the better gauge of a sequels quality be someone who liked the first game and sets their standards higher on the sequel?

Apparently not.

Instead, we have a high caliber game thrown under the bus for whats called traffic control. Essentially meaning if the website posts one positive review, people are less likely to read a second positive review and garner hits to the site.

So they take a very high caliber game, hand it to someone with a very poor criteria of reviews and posts not just a slanted review but an under-estimated score.

After which other sites follow suit and post similar reviews to compete for the hits of the original bad review.

The gaming media has no longer become a viable way of conveying the quality put into a game anymore. In fact the only people are the fans who run sites that cater to those specific tastes, that actually have more discerning criteria of who is the intended reader of the review and how those reviewers inform the intended consumer of the product.

Its like the dead space 2 commercial, would you really let your 60y/o mother review a game for you? Absolutely NOT.

Would you let a close friend give you a solid recommendation if you have similar tastes? Absolutely YES.

ShinMaster5501d ago

Because that's what IGN seems to be doing lately with other games as well, including LBP2.

Many reviewers including IGN have a severe case of selective criticism.

Makes total sense /s

Not to troll or anything but... $50 bucks says Bulletstorm (a multiplat game) gets a better score than this.

nix5502d ago

n Crysis 2 will get better score too. just to pacify 360 gamers. it's already been planned.

Clarence5502d ago

Lol I bet your right. I say to the people prove them wrong and support the game like you supported GT5. It's funny that they give MW2 a better score despite the horrible storyline. It seems KZ needs to be on the 360 to get a better score

Ravenor5502d ago

Their has been a Closed and now Open beta, their will be a pre release demo. You have more then enough opportunities to figure out for yourself whether or not this is the game for you.

The score is irrelevant, especially when something subjective like "story" is dragging it down. Make the decision for yourself and just use review's to see if their are jarring control or bug/glitch issues. You'll be much happier.

gypsygib5502d ago

Person: What do you think of your girlfriend?

IGN: Well, she has a perfect body, beautiful face, her personality is super fun and interesting amazing in bed, in fact I think she may be the most attractive women I have seen....but I don't like her hair colour, should be dirty blond not brunette....8.5/10.

IGN: "Guerilla has once again proven that they know how to make the most visceral feeling first-person combat on the market." = 8.5/10. Why? The story.

MW2 got a 9.5/10 despite the story which IGN scored higher and gave a 10/10 to MW2 for graphics.

WTF

Darkfiber5502d ago

Killzone 3 and Modern Warfare 2 were reviewed by completely different people. Are you really that stupid?

That might be the case, but they all work for and represent the IGN.

Chuk55493d ago

Are mentally slow? That doesn't even make sense. They have different journalists for a reason; to get different perspectives.

arika5502d ago

Darkfiber5502d ago

How many times have you completed the single player campaign to tell us otherwise that the story is better than Killzone 2? What's that? None? What's that? You're a stupid fanboy who is talking out of his ass? Gotcha.

DoomeDx5502d ago

Killzone 3 is all about a war between two factions of humans. On one side, we have the ISA, the good guys with human faces; on the other side are the Helghast, the red-goggled, mask-wearing enemies who are hell bent on subduing the rest of the universe.

^ What? The helghast only want revenge on the ISA. also, there are 'good' and 'bad' guys. GG did a great job with that.

You think the game is world war 2 in space. Guerrilla made it blatantly obvious that it should be WWII, but it's more reminiscent of the American Revolution with a twist.

Urahara5502d ago

Crap score. Gears of War got a 9.4, and that game had absolutely no story what so ever. Yet Killzone 3 supposedly doesn't have one and loses points for this, bull! Double standards.

turgore5502d ago

Gears 2 has a great story but offcourse you wouldn't know.
Still KZ3's story is probably better than Call of Duty's or Battlfields.

tablav5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Killzone 2 had a phenomenal story and Visari made you actually CARE about the events that unfolded. From what I've seen of the new story, it's very good but doesn't, in my opinion, have the same impact as 2.

Even if that's true though, this game looks amazing.

Edit: People are also placing too much focus on the numbers. If you listen to the review, nearly all of it is positive. Who CARES if it's 0.1 worse that some other game? Play it for yourself and don't cry over numbers.

IcarusOne5502d ago

I love KZ2, but I had the exact opposite reaction to the story as you. I never knew where I was going or why I was going there and I didn't really care either. It took me three playthroughs and a lot of paying attention to actually be conscious of what was going on between levels.

pain777pas5502d ago

I am playing the single player of KZ2 right now to get up to speed. The game is so intense. My goodness it is awesome. It feels like your in a real conflict. If the overall game is better than KZ2 we know that this will be awesome.

FFXI1015502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

I agree with you on the STORY part but not the SCORE part.

The score is good but not great! and as for the story I was only in the muti-player beta so I couldn't say anything about the single player mode. Still, I think that's his personal opinion and I strongly disagree.

When I finished the Killzone 2 I was satisfied and wanted to know what will happen in Killzone 3, I mean Rico killed Visari right? so what happen? does that mean they all screwed? how are they going to survive the overwhelmingly giant fleet of Helghast ships/troops?

I'm sure they'll explain what happen after KZ2, they also bring the new characters to the story. How awesome is that? how could you not like it? becuase the story didn't develop the way he preferred? I call it BS! IGN could do a better job than this.

But why would I give ****? I know I love the first two and I'm getting the Killzone 3 Helghast edition. I'm happy and eagerly want to play the game so I say SCREW the score and show your support by buying the game and play it!

Let kill some Helghans on 2.22.11!

NoBias5502d ago

"I was only in the muti-player beta so I couldn't say anything about the single player mode. Still, I think that's his personal opinion and I strongly disagree. "

How can you STRONGLY disagree with something that you haven't experienced and/or even seen?

lol

People on this site...

FFXI1015502d ago

I trongly disagree because I love the KZ2 and I thought the story was great compare to some other FPS out there.

Although I haven't play the single player mode in KZ3 but from what I saw and Killzone 2 experience I have high expectation for GG. That's why I disagree with his opinion and I doubt that he play through the whole game.

does that explain to you or you need an example?

Mista T5502d ago

all I can say is I told you so

gman_moose5502d ago

IGN is out to lunch. I'm thinking there's no reason for me to visit their site anymore.

What does a PS3 developer have to do to get a AAA score these days? First Media Molecule, now Guerella get ripped off by IGN.

When Gears 3 comes out, I hope they use the same grading scale, cuz if they do, I don't expect to see anything higher than an 8.5 from that either.

IcarusOne5502d ago

Gears has always provided much more of a complete package. KZ is pretty much just about the visuals.

IcarusOne5502d ago

Just reread what I wrote and I disagree with myself. =)

pain777pas5502d ago

They want develpers to litterally come over to their houses make them lunch and put a pillow under their heads while they play the game. I hate the journalists these days. Kasavin come back and restore the integrity of this biased pathetic nonsense. Watch Bastion will get a low score just because many like Kasavin's views on games out of spite.

OhMyGandhi5502d ago

Microsoft is no longer responsible for this. Journalist refuse to admit that they were wrong. They will only wake up once Live goes up to a $100 without any changes and they have no other meaningful Kinect games besides a Sports compilation or dance game. They will wake up when consumers vote with their dollars and whoever is covering what consumers want is going to get the ad revenue. Which site is worthy of our time? That is the question.

jetlian5502d ago

I want to know is I thought ps3 owners were older aka more "mature" but it never seems that way.

I will say this game is pretty decent. Not sure I like all the perks though. I was glad when BO took out stopping power and made a game based on skill.

Now Kz has extra armor and some trick where the enemy looks like a team mates. Just give me a straight up shooter please

DigitalAnalog5502d ago

IGN may have revamped their standards in 2011. It's going to be extremely difficult to get a 9.0 and above.

HOWEVER,

their credibility is on the line when the start to review COD. If the said franchise fails to add/innovate anything other than it's predecessors and still fall in the 8.0 category, then there you have it. The true nature of IGN revealed.

ChrisW5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

[ jajaja ] According to urbandictionary.com:

#1. Often used on online games, "jajaja" is a form a laughing used by Spanish people. Just like "San Jose" and "Jalapeno" the "J" is pronounced like and "H".
In Counter-Strike

Player #1 - "jajaja i pwned j00!"
Player #2 - "shut the hell up, u stupid Spanish fuk!"
_____________________________ ________________________

#2. An incredibly moronic way to express laughter while online, be it in a message board, on a game, or instant messaging.

It came from the Spanish form of laughter, because the letter "j" makes the English "h" sound, but I don't buy it. It's dumb no matter where it came from.

perhaps, but when horrible games that advertise and have gift baskets get higher scores than great games that don't do those things, you have to wonder (or not wonder if a pattern has been established).

And I also predict weird scores from the usual suspects (as you said, depending on who reviews it):

Destructoid

GameTrailers

Eurogamer

Some unknown website looking for hits

amirite?

JeffGUNZ5502d ago

Oh stop it, this generation of gamers is disgusting. You people cry about reviews like it actually means something. This reviewer gave the game a 8.5 which is great, yet you people still think that they must be corrupt because they didn't get a perfect score.

Grow up.

The world is full of people who have different opinions then yours. Deal with it, accept it, and move on.

Bits-N-Kibbles5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

I have a problem with their reasons for giving it that score. I'll judge it when I get it. IMO the story in KZ2 wasn't better than KZ1, but I feel like the fight for power between the two helgan powers could be interesting in KZ3. I think IGN doesn't like the story because it is not strictly what they were looking for in the game.

cliffbo5502d ago

Why is that any review that doesn't give a Ps3 exclusive a perfect 10 suddenly biased?

Why do you retards think anything just below a 9 makes a game bad?

IGN aren't the only one blamming the story. Get over this "omfg they're so biased against the Ps3" band wagon, it's pathetic.

BK-2015502d ago

because they give games like Black Ops and Dead Space 2 a higher score and ignore faults that they suddenly find in a Playstation exclusive. It happens all the time unfortunately.

-Alpha5502d ago

So Alan Wake & Fable 3 got AAA scores?

If enough people complained about those scores we'd have the same situation. People make too many excuses.

starchild5502d ago

That's so true. I thought Alan Wake was a brilliant game and felt that many reviewers gave it lower scores than it deserved, but you didn't ever see me call those reviewers biased or complain of unfairness.

It's just the way it goes. Not everybody has the same taste in games. I also didn't think Resistance 2 deserved anywhere near the 9.5 that IGN gave it, but again that was a different reviewer with his own taste in games.

PotatoClock5502d ago

I think the amount of hype this game has had on N4G means it deserves a perfect 10.

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.

1Victor1024d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1024d ago

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

jznrpg1024d ago

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

badz1491024d 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!

Vengeance11381024d 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 Kim1024d ago

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

VersusDMC1024d 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?

Vengeance11381024d ago

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

solideagle1024d 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.

Phoenix761024d 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

thesoftware7301024d ago (Edited 1024d 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.

blacktiger1024d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1024d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1024d ago (Edited 1024d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1024d ago

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

Imalwaysright1024d 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

MadLad1775d 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.

Applejack1775d 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_B1775d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1775d 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.

Vegamyster1775d 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.

SinkingSage1775d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1775d ago (Edited 1775d 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 Kim1775d ago

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

MadLad1774d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1775d 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.

Magatsuhi1775d ago

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

Binarycode1775d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1775d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
