Killzone 3 Made Me Sad

NextGN writes: "Killzone 3 has arrived and I’ve been spending good amount of my spare time pwning some Higs. I’ve finished the game on veteran with 45% of all trophies unlocked and am on my second play through right now — however, there is something that upsets me with the latest and greatest Killzone game. To be honest, I was expecting a lot more. Though the campaign mode towers over most others, Killzone 3 still seems stripped of content."

MintBerryCrunch5557d ago

can't make custom matches...

its the one thing that makes me go FFFUUU, it just screams CoD

LoVeRSaMa5557d ago

Yea, I used to Host my own Clan Server on my 2nd PS3, and was able to have everyone join and advertise my clan, but with this feature gone ='[

killalot1005557d ago

why would they take this feature away is beyond me. it deosnt cost them shit to add this.

FunAndGun5557d ago

They took it away because on K2 everyone and their mother only played Radec Academy.

DreamTension5557d ago

Guerilla will be implementing custom matches through a patch shortly after launch. It most likely won't be public lists like KZ2, but custom matches will at least be there...

PhoenixDevil5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

@DreamTension
Good news if it happens but I dnt believe thats happenening, any chance of a link about it, i was in the older KZ3 beta n they told us that custom games were not going to be in KZ3 would b great if they changed there minds tho

EDIT: there was another link down below, n this is definatly happenning which is great news, certinly a good feature too have

AyeGee5557d ago

It was one of my favorite features! Grrrr..

Pixelated_Army5557d ago

"One thing’s for sure, though. Killzone 3 is a break through game. It will be crowned best single-player console first person shooter this generation, mark my words."

After reading the title I wasn't expecting to read this.

Rumor5557d ago

wow, same menu screeens???? i liked looking at my helghast and isa member during multiplayer whilst choosing my class :/

Rumor5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

wow, same menu screeens???? i liked looking at my helghast during multiplayer whilst choosing my class :/

edit: does anyone else find it funny that the menus have some foreign helghast writing but they speak english XD it makes no sense to me. but still day 1

Mr Tretton5557d ago

The Helghast changed the look of their alphabet, (why? IDK. To be dicks?) but it's technically still English.

DaTruth5557d ago

This is sad! The best matches in KZ2 were the ones where they got rid of the rocket launchers!

Sometimes they would cut out the whole class which was a b!tch because I use to use the sprint with my tactician and I'd have to find something else to use, but I hated rocket-noobs!

DualConsoleOwner5557d ago

a dev said it in a interview...

he said you could pick maps or only pistol match and such.

idk its kinda a good and bad thing

before you just had people trying to level up constantly and the only thing you got was radec body count

crazyclown5557d ago

well is this just for the beta? what happens when the full game lunches? will there be custom matches????

Rumor5557d ago

he was describing the full game.

im pretty sure you cant get 45% of trophies through a beta

tony67675557d ago

who cares about custom matches? and in kz2 custom matches points were counting so u could have the best kd ever telling ur friend to go in a game kill for you i dont care if they removed it all i want is go online and play nonstop and have fun. and why people are whining about it when they dont about other games that is worse

DoomeDx5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

You can. GG said that on the Open beta Forum.

they will patch it in :)

@ Kneon, Wait, let me find a link for you

Edit two: There you go! Bottom post!

http://community.killzone.c...

Just incase you dont know, its a post from a GG Dev

kneon5557d ago

I sure hope you're right. One of the great features of KZ2 was that you could cut out certain classes, weapons and abilities. So if you didn't want snipers in your game for example you could, ban them, or the sniper rifle and you're good to go.

Pillage055557d ago

I completely understand why some people are upset over this removal, but honestly I had always wished for matchmaking in kz2. From the getgo 90% of the rooms were maxed out on game time which is like an hour and a half long game. Who the hell thinks its fun to defend one odjective for 20 freakin' minutes. The standard options were so much fun...people were in a hurry and actually cared about the objective instead of just campin' the hell out of the other team.

I could on and on but the point comes down to I hated how long it took to find a room with a decent setup. There should have always been either matchmaking or at least have some official servers with more standard options. They probably should at least bring back a lobby system with unranked games so people have a way of practicing though.

thor5557d ago

Well it's a problem that the game creates itself. In a game where you don't have ranks or unlocks, matchmaking (i.e. reducing the number of options for a game from tens of adjustable parameters creating millions of combinations to just 3 playlists) is completely useless. Its ONLY PURPOSE is to stop people playing to grind. But of course people only keep playing to up their rank anyway.

What happened to games where you played them because they were fun? Counter-Strike: Source (before they added f*cking achievements for f*ck's sake) is a great example of a game I played for hundreds of hours and not a single rank-up in sight. People made fun servers because they were fun to play. Not because they were the most efficient for getting experience points.

frostypants5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

This is what I've been saying all along: the multiplayer mode is a big letdown, but hopefully the single player will be awesome (and from what most are saying, it is). It's the multiplayer shortcomings that have caused so much animosity in the reviews.

Honestly I think people are just getting sick of FPS multiplayer games in general...BF1943 and BFBC2 (PS3) and BF2 (PC) are the only ones I can play anymore. Everything else lacks enough depth of gameplay for me.

Dipso5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

I personally like the title screen, its bleak, utilitarian, perfectly reflecting the culture of the Helghast and contrasted with the brooding sentimentality of the music is just plain rousing.

Oh, and I bet it looks sh*t hot in 3D.

Jezuz5557d ago

yeah, the music is....mesmerizing

LoaMcLoa5557d ago

Kinda sounds like a mix-up between Metal Gear Solid 4 and Bioshock ^^

Oh, yeah. Bring us back custom matches!

frostypants5557d ago

Yeah, whoever handled the music did an amazing job.

B00M5557d ago

Gotta agree there when I first started Killzone 3 I just listened to the music, makes it seem like the sp may be a bit more emotionally driven.

Fil1015557d ago

your right the actual game is shit hot in 3D but the menu's & title screens ain't which 2 B honest dont really matter

visualb5557d ago

music seems to be great =)

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic521d 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.

Storm23521d 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.

lockedongamer1521d ago (Edited 521d 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!

Chocoburger511d 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.

1Victor1087d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1087d ago

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

jznrpg1087d ago

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

badz1491086d 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!

Vengeance11381087d 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 Kim1087d ago

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

VersusDMC1087d 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?

Vengeance11381087d ago

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

solideagle1087d 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.

Phoenix761087d 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

thesoftware7301087d ago (Edited 1087d 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.

blacktiger1087d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1087d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1087d ago (Edited 1087d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1087d ago

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

Imalwaysright1087d 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

MadLad1838d 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.

Applejack1838d 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_B1838d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1838d 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.

1838d ago
Vegamyster1838d 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.

SinkingSage1838d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1838d ago (Edited 1838d 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.

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

MadLad1837d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1838d 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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
