ConsolePress Killzone 3 Beta Impressions

The open beta for Killzone 3 was released on the PlayStation Store just a few days ago. The 802 MB beta consists of just one level, but gives the ability to earn numerous upgrades and weapons. And while it's meant to test the servers that will eventually support the full retail game, many players are already forming opinions about the title, including the staff at ConsolePress.

For some reason I couldn't get connected to the servers last night, but all seems well now. Warzone is an amazing game mode. I love how it's one big 20 minute round.

Pixel_Enemy5498d ago

You are new to Killzone, welcome

Pixelated_Army5498d ago

"First, I have to make it clear that I’m not a fan of first-person-shooters or online multiplayer games. My own gaming habits tend to involve me, myself, and a third-person character often engaged in jumping between floating platforms or procuring items during sneaking missions. I have nothing against FPS games, but I don’t particularly enjoy them."

You just can't make this shit up. A person who doesn't particularly like FPS decides to put out a review on a FPS.

Whoring for hits is more what this is about.

s0ph1atr0n5498d ago

I haven't been able to try it yet, but it looks wayyy better than Black Ops.

crazyclown5498d ago

Black Ops shouldnt even be mentioned LOL

Masterchef20075498d ago (Edited 5498d ago )

Its Full of Doody Crap Ops. They screwed up the PS3 version on purpose

BulletToothtony5498d ago

I'm glad black ops was garbage, if it would've been anything like cod4 i would still be playing it. But since the hit detection is so freaking bad i sold it 2 weeks after and after playing the K3 beta this will be the game to keep me entertained for the next few months.

This beta plays simply beautifully.

Dart895498d ago

The beta is awesome i like when newcomers come in and ask is this like cod if not i'm leaving xDDD.

Watch the video.

femshep5498d ago

stereotypical call of duty bro XD that guy rage quits i can see it now...he did had a couple good points but other then that i would love to call him out on some things he said XD awesome video i lawlz

ill try killzone again when 3 comes out the first 2 never really settled right on me.....as for new call of duty haha i will once again never buy it

Masterchef20075498d ago

Plays a lot better than the second one. The controls are a lot better still heavy but not super heavy. Its a lot easier to manage the guns. Plus i like what they did to the classes.

SpitFireAce855498d ago

Its only a beta but boy no lag at all...played last
night for 5 hours strait in the same lobby/room when
is the last time you did that in any COD game?

Masterchef20075498d ago (Edited 5498d ago )

Whats odd was i had lag while playing games on XBOXlive but not with PSN. I have no idea why that happens.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic457d 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.

Storm23457d 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.

lockedongamer1457d ago (Edited 457d 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!

Chocoburger447d 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.

1Victor1023d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1023d ago

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

jznrpg1022d ago

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

badz1491022d 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!

Vengeance11381023d 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 Kim1023d ago

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

VersusDMC1023d 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?

Vengeance11381023d ago

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

solideagle1023d 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.

Phoenix761023d 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

REDGUM1022d ago

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

thesoftware7301023d ago (Edited 1023d 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.

blacktiger1022d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1023d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1023d ago (Edited 1023d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1023d ago

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

Imalwaysright1023d 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

MadLad1774d 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.

Applejack1774d 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_B1774d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1774d 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.

1774d ago
Vegamyster1774d 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.

SinkingSage1773d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1773d ago (Edited 1773d 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 Kim1774d ago

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

MadLad1773d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1774d 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.

Magatsuhi1773d ago

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

Binarycode1773d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1773d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
