AOTF: Killzone 3 Review

ATOF: "Killzone 3 is the fourth release overall in the PlayStation 3 exclusive first-person shooter franchise, and contains the first integration of the PlayStation Move system into its gameplay. In it players continue the fight by a futuristic special ops team against the seemingly unstoppable Helghast Empire. Along the way players will learn more than ever before about the rabid Helghan culture, as well as become aware of an internal struggle in their ranks that may prove to be an important weakness. The game features full Playstation Move system integration throughout the game -- including the Move and Navigational controllers. Additional features include: the ability to carry two primary weapons, new melee and jet pack functionality and online multiplayer support."

I dont care what a review says the beta says all there needs to be said this game is fuking awesome.

Pixelated_Army5510d ago (Edited 5510d ago )

I feel this reviewer is a bit too wrapped up in the COD and Halo universe and it's difficult for him to detach himself when reviewing a different kind of shooter.

The review was cool and gave me the impression that he actually did his homework unlike the reviewer from IGN.

@shooterexpert

Come on man just stop this trolling bullshit. For every shit review you post up I can find one that counters.

shooterexpert5510d ago

Or he just can't get into a bad shooter.

All of these people actually played a review copy, they can't all be wrong.

Mr Tretton5510d ago

"I feel this reviewer is a bit too wrapped up in the COD and Halo universe and it's difficult for him to detach himself when reviewing a different kind of shooter."

You nailed it. MANY 'professionals' unfortunately have this problem.

just_looken5510d ago

100% agree the open beta shows this everyone wants a cod hold my hand fps. kz3 is a 10/10 but its not a cod clone so bad reviews and a idiot filled mp await.

math5510d ago

If you buy games because of reviews you need to stop buying games

ChristianGamer5510d ago

People only start talking like this when a ps3 exclusive is involved.
GT5 scores 85- the fans will buy it because reviews don't matter.
Black Ops sells 10 million- do you know what else sold 10 million? Justin Bieber
LittleBigPlanet 2 scores many perfect scores - Yes!! Thats what the playstation brand is all about! Quality!! Thats what's important!
Killzone 3 scores 86 - if you buy games because of reviews then you shouldn't be gaming.
All I'm asking for is for people to pick a standard and stick to it!
You cannot have it both ways, which is more important? Sales or quality? Decide now

Ashriel5510d ago

I agree, but logical thinking should not be expected from fanboys...I can't believe you only have one bubble o_o

Pixelated_Army5510d ago (Edited 5510d ago )

@CG (How'd you like those marketshare stats for Sony today? haha)
You would have a valid point if you were talking about single individual and he was constantly filp-floppin' on the issue but what you're describing are the views and opinions of an entire community and what you're asking for is simply not possible.

@Ashriel

If you look at CG comment history he has a nice track recored for being a fanboy himself.

FailOverHero5510d ago

Well said CG.
Pixel, it is pretty much the standard all around not just n4g. Halo Reach sells 3 million day 1 and people say sales don't matter because "anything 'Halo' will sell", conveniently forgetting that it is a 91 metacritic game.
GT5 ships 5 million in the first month and it is CELEBRATION TIME!! The fans have spoken woohoo! Take that reviewers!!
Double standards

Dsnyder5510d ago

Give a damn score with it. I dont want to read shit when im on the internetz.

piroh466d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic466d 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.

Storm23466d 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.

lockedongamer1466d ago (Edited 466d 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!

Chocoburger456d 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.

1Victor1032d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1032d ago

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

jznrpg1031d ago

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

badz1491031d 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!

Vengeance11381032d 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 Kim1032d ago

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

VersusDMC1032d 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?

Vengeance11381032d ago

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

solideagle1032d 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.

Phoenix761032d 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

REDGUM1031d ago

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

thesoftware7301032d ago (Edited 1032d 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.

blacktiger1031d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1032d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1032d ago (Edited 1032d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1032d ago

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

Imalwaysright1032d 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

MadLad1783d 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.

Applejack1783d 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_B1783d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1783d 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.

1783d ago
Vegamyster1783d 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.

SinkingSage1782d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1782d ago (Edited 1782d 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 Kim1783d ago

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

MadLad1782d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1783d 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.

Magatsuhi1783d ago

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

Binarycode1782d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1782d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
