Fret not; those with PlayStation Plus can still access the demo in North America and Europe, but those that aren’t members of the PS+ club and were making Hong Kong accounts to download the demo that opportunity has now passed.

I did try to play the multiplayer but it would hang on looking for a game. I figured it was meant to be that I should not spoil my appetite for the full game.

I'm just so damn hungry for it...maybe a snickers will tide me over.

pangitkqb5484d ago

I've been loving both the Beta and the Demo.

In fact, the Killzone 3 demo is one of the only Demos I have ever played FOUR TIMES.

This is gonna be a good time, my friends.

Elimin85484d ago

If there's any indication of how great this game will turn out look no further than this demo.. I REALLY enjoy playing it with the MOVE! Get it people.. Get this game day one.

HolyOrangeCows5484d ago

"and were making Hong Kong accounts to download the demo that opportunity has now passed"

Darn it! I should have done that yesterday :(
I might just get PS+....heck, if it means getting Stacking and MAG for free, may as well.

nycrekid5484d ago

Holycow

you are going to get much more than just Stacking and this demo for free. If you don't currently buy alot of stuff all the time on PSN then PLUS will be a revelation. pretty soon you won't have enough time to play everything.

Ravenor5484d ago

Paying for discounts, what a revelation!

Btw, you don't get MAG for free it's just a 1 hour trial.

P_Bomb5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

@Ravenor
Actually you DO get MAG for free. There is no 1 hour trial. I should know, I have the free game.

4GB, you play as much as you want whenever you want for as long as you're a PS Plus subscriber. Only thing is you have a level cap at 8 or something, but you can keep playing all the maps & modes regardless. Any XP you accumulate unlocks if you buy the game.

elpresador5484d ago

No comments on KZ3 3D yet, what it be like?

MazzingerZ5484d ago

@elpresador
There are 2 demos one std and one in 3D, at least in the EU PS+ section

elpresador5484d ago

yea I know, just wanted to know if ANYONE has tried the 3D one yet

TheRacingX5483d ago

I tried the demo in 3D, it is pretty good and the 3D doesn't seem as forced as the 3D in Black Ops, if you've never played an FPS in 3D it takes ALOT to get used to as targeting does have a different feel. The immersion is big though and you feel like you're on those gun rigs running around while everything is blowing up around you.

SeNiLesBack5483d ago

I got the demo. It was good but wasn't thrilled with the jetpack. It seemed weak and not enough boost. Anyone else feel the same way?

Ares84PS35483d ago

@elpresador

I have played th 3D version of the demo and it is amazing!!! Best 3D I've seen so far in games.

i'm a patient gamer. KZ2 and DS2 are keeping me pretty busy

TheLastGuardian5484d ago

Same here. I was planning on skipping the demo altogether since I already know I'm buying KZ3 but everyone says the demo is really awesome so I'll be playing it on the 15th.

detroit2cali5484d ago

its a good demo and the trailer at the end is epic

saladthieves5484d ago

WTF...I wish I had done the same...

saladthieves5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

As of right now, It's actually still there!...they'll pulling it off though. Grab it while you can, and if you're fortunate enough to own a 3D tv, there's a 3D demo there as well!

@Disagrees: I just started downloading it. It's exactly 1522 MB and I'm at 9% (145 MB). I live in Canada and both demos are still there. Don't know about other regions, but I can confirm that it is still there as of NOW.

Spitfire_Riggz5484d ago

Me too check malaysia though not just hong kong

miyamoto5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

yeah me too! having a blast!

both SP & MP are great fun. I love being an engineer/marksman

DigitalAnalog5484d ago

Living in Hong Kong, I did NOT know of this. My default account has always been the US version.

-End of Line

thawind5484d ago

ps+ ran out right before the demo was release damn some told me to make hong kong account yesterday..shit!!!!!!!!!

Oh well at least I still got the Beta to mess around with until the full game comes out.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic447d 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.

Storm23447d 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.

lockedongamer1447d ago (Edited 447d 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!

Chocoburger438d 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.

1Victor1013d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1013d ago

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

jznrpg1013d ago

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

badz1491013d 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!

Vengeance11381013d 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 Kim1013d ago

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

VersusDMC1013d 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?

Vengeance11381013d ago

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

solideagle1013d 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.

Phoenix761013d 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

thesoftware7301013d ago (Edited 1013d 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.

blacktiger1013d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1013d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1013d ago (Edited 1013d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1013d ago

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

Imalwaysright1013d 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

MadLad1764d 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.

Applejack1764d 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_B1764d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1764d 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.

1764d ago
Vegamyster1764d 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.

SinkingSage1764d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1764d ago (Edited 1764d 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 Kim1764d ago

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

MadLad1763d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1764d 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.

Magatsuhi1764d ago

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

Binarycode1764d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1764d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
