Killzone 3 Campaign is 8-11 hours

Killzone.com's official Twitter:

That '4.5 hours' number is a misunderstanding of the 'best time' stat; normal playthrough time (including deaths) is 8-11 hours.

ChineseDemocracy5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

In the original article I thought it was one of the reviewers who had completed the campaign in 4.5 hours? I don't see how that's a "best time" stat.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I get what they're saying. I had misinterpreted the twitter post.

Nitrowolf25579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

I think this includes with cutscenes and such, cause come on who plays story if they aren't going to watch the scenes? might as well play multiplayer then right?

I am guessing the timer stops when you die and goes back at the time it was when you reached a checkpoint.
So you get to a checkpoint at 20min, play 3 min but end up dieing, the timer will be back at 20min.

cannon88005579d ago

Whoever played the game obviously rushed through as fast as they could. Assholes

BattleAxe5579d ago

You could finish 75% of games out there in 4-5 hours if you put it on the easiest difficulty and run through each level without stopping. Black Ops could definately be finished in 4 hours if you played it on easy.

ChronoJoe5579d ago

One doesn't include deaths or cutscenes. If you die and dover it resets the time to prior to your previous death.

Dante1125579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

@ Battle Ax

True, remember that "I finished MGS4 in 2 hours" bs back then and how we came out to find that the guy just ran and used disguises and stealth camo throughout the game? This type of journalism need to stop.

yesah5579d ago

Dante,

Im High, And Your Amazing.

Pillage055579d ago

I tried saying this in the 4.5 hours long article...but I checked my "best time" in killzone 2 and it added up to 3 hours 24 minutes. So 3 should be longer than 2 i would think.

goflyakite5579d ago

Demon's Souls can be completed in less than an hour (link below). I took 25 hours to play through it.

Screams from tha haters...got a nice ring to it. Even if it were 4.5-5hrs long, after playing through MOH on Hard in around 4.5 hrs AND still enjoying the hell out of the game, this is just icing on the cake.

princeofthabay5579d ago

i guess every super hero needs his theme music

ActionBastard5579d ago

No one game should have all this power...

goflyakite5579d ago

The [KZ3] clock's ticking i just count the hours.

Joni-Ice5579d ago

I already knew it. Some people justs needs to be told by upper management.

visualb5579d ago

*crossed arms*

hah...no surprise here =) I told you, trust your experience, not some random guy on the interwebz

HolyOrangeCows5579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

I assumed nowgamer was full of crap, knowing their track record with things PS3-related.

gamer20105579d ago

I knew this was the case. There is no way Guerrilla would cut the play time in half or more. Besides, whenever they say a game is 10 hours for some reason it always takes me a lot longer to get through the game. I guess it is because I don't just rush through my games. My philosophy is that it isn't about the destination it is about the journey.

baodeus5579d ago

yes exactly. What is the point of rushing through the game? Should we take times and enjoying it?

Dante1125579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

Lol. What's been up with nowgamers.com (guys who made the bs 4.5 hours article) lately? Most of their article seem to come down hard on the ps3, it's exclusives and the wii...and for no good reason sometimes.

the_kutaragi_baka5579d ago

lol owned in haters of Killzone 3...;)

clrlite5579d ago

lol that someone could disagree with you.
KZ3 is tons of fun and great with Move. GG should be getting praise across the board for doing such a nice job with motion controls in an FPS

MGRogue20175579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

Alright, That's sorted, No need to worry about play-time now :)

I'll be playing on teh "Hard" difficulty setting, myself.. so should get at least a few more hours added on top.

Plus, You've got the multi-player..

gamer20105579d ago

I have to be honest, I have been playing the open beta and it is a very, very fun multiplayer offering. I can see myself sinking a lot of hours into this.

MarcusFenixITA5579d ago

I would enjoy the game even if it was only 2h long. I'm Killzowned after playing the Beta1

Kon5579d ago

This is relative. Nobody will finish the game with the same time in the end

AKA5579d ago

yes plus anyone that has play KILLZONE 2 knows that the game allways save the best data of each level, this means you can go back to any level and perfect you stats, time, no dyeing in a level etc.

you guys should be ashamed giving hits to poor quality webpages and falling in their tricks...

KILLZON3D

showtimefolks5579d ago

that article on front page that says 4.5 is a lie KZ2 campaign was about 8-10 hrs long and there were some parts where you would get stuck like last boos fight and few other areas

what i like is how fluid the online MP is gameplay wise i thought they would turn this into a casual shooter but its nice to see and GT gave KZ3 9.4 they usually are the hardest on ps3 exclusives so it must be great

can't wait to pick up my cop and i don't like how reviewer are saying story is not good when in trailers it looks much better tha kz2 story

i guess we will hear about GG next IP at E3 this year they hae already said its a shooter

Sarcasm5579d ago

Yeah 9.4 from gametrailers is a bit surprising.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic536d 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.

Storm23536d 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.

lockedongamer1536d ago (Edited 536d 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!

Chocoburger527d 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.

1Victor1103d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1103d ago

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

jznrpg1102d ago

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

badz1491102d 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!

Vengeance11381102d 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 Kim1102d ago

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

VersusDMC1102d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

thesoftware7301102d ago (Edited 1102d 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.

blacktiger1102d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1102d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d ago

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

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1853d 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.

Applejack1853d 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_B1853d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1853d 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.

1853d ago
Vegamyster1853d 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.

SinkingSage1853d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1853d ago (Edited 1853d 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 Kim1853d ago

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

MadLad1853d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1853d 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.

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1853d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
