Killzone 3 Review (GamingBolt)

GamingBolt: "Ever since that infamous Killzone 2 CG trailer was shown at E3 2005, every future game in the franchise was set for an insane amount of hype. Killzone 2 was one of those rare games that not only managed to live up to it, but was successful in surpassing it. The game was known for its breath taking visuals and an addictive multiplayer that sucked me right in for hours and hours of gameplay. In short, Killzone 2 was a humongous success, especially when compared to the original Killzone on the PlayStation 2. Unfortunately Killzone 3 does not best what Killzone 2 did two years ago, but manages to salvage some pride due to its vistas and a deep multiplayer experience."

Keep the good reviews coming!

talltony5597d ago (Edited 5597d ago )

"I think Sony should not forcefully implement Move with every big game of theirs as I think this was just an unnecessary addition."

I very much disagree.

This reviewer obviously doesnt have much patience to get used to a new control scheme. Playing with move is fun as hell if you give it a chance.

NukaCola5597d ago

Move isn't required therefore not forced.

talltony5597d ago

I know I quoted the reviewer lol

klashawnd5597d ago

Exactly. Did he even play with the Move? And for how long? The first couple days I was like "this is crap, so hard to get used to!" Then guess what? I got used to it. Now I don't even play with the dualshock anymore, playing with the Move is just more fun to me. The way that reviews are just dismissing the Move without taking the propoer time to get used to the controls is my biggest gripe with all of the reviews I have seen so far.

shovelface885597d ago

That's your opinion talltony. Just as the viewpoint mentioned in the review is his opinion.

OPINION

talltony5597d ago

I know it was his opinion but he doesnt say if he really tried to get used to it. It sounds like he tried it once and then dismissed it like most people who dismiss move.

My point is that its a great second controller and it shouldnt be looked at as "an unnecessary addition" when its not even required in the first place.

Still waiting for the GameInformer review.

Goeres5597d ago

Decent score.

However, in the future, I want to see reviews like this for CoD and Halo aswell. Neither of those bring the ultimate SP either (esp not CoD). If all reviewers actually respected their scoresystem we would never have people bitching about it.

Yes, I want to see you strip CoD naked this year, aswell the "new" Halo.

Thanks

sjaakiejj5597d ago

From the beta, the only thing I don't like about Killzone 3 is how long the characters scream for.

piroh565d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic564d 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.

Storm23564d 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.

lockedongamer1564d ago (Edited 564d 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!

Chocoburger555d 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.

1Victor1130d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1130d ago

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

jznrpg1130d ago

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

badz1491130d 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!

Vengeance11381130d 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 Kim1130d ago

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

VersusDMC1130d 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?

Vengeance11381130d ago

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

solideagle1130d 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.

Phoenix761130d 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

REDGUM1130d ago

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

thesoftware7301130d ago (Edited 1130d 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.

blacktiger1130d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1130d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1130d ago (Edited 1130d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1130d ago

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

Imalwaysright1130d 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

MadLad1881d 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.

Applejack1881d 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_B1881d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1881d 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.

1881d ago
Vegamyster1881d 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.

SinkingSage1881d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1881d ago (Edited 1881d 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 Kim1881d ago

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

MadLad1880d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1881d 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.

Magatsuhi1881d ago

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

Binarycode1881d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1881d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
