Anticipating the Killzone 3 release I have been jamming out on the open beta. I can't believe how many people on my friends list won't even take the time to download it. I mean, it's free. Oh yeah, and it happens to be awesome but I still see them playing Black Ops! Most of them are on their sixth or seventh prestige, so the question is why?
As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, let's explore the best PlayStation games Sony has to offer.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
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!
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
One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

So not a drop off.
Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
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.
@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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Killzone 3 is gonna have the runs after that.
If your friends are on their sixth or seventh prestige, then they likely don't want to pull away from a game they've invested so much time in to for a beta that has only one map.
Hopefully when Killzone 3 launches, they'll give the full game a shot.
K3 is great, but boy does it have some balance issues, and I need to rant about it.
It destroys Black Ops in terms of performance but the game certainly has issues of its own that are ruining the game. GG has catered this game to COD fans and it shows in some areas. And before people spam the disagrees, I've played the crap out of the beta, I love the game, but GG needs to fix some urgent issues. A lot of people deny that its anything like COD, but there are far too many things that strip the game of its genre: A squad based, TACTICAL shooter reliant on teamwork and classes:
-One hit melees
-Ribbons/Skills
-Lower health
-Issues with ability balance
-TSA placements
I disagree with it being more balanced than Black Ops, actually. BO is fairly balanced overall. So is K3, but less so than it ought to be.
In Killzone you get a lot of what would be killstreaks every moment of the game via abilities. The idea of leveling up classes is nice, but it forced the devs to give some insanely unbalanced and overpowered abilities as rewards. Virtually all the classes have turned into killing machines and teamwork is so undermined in comparison to K2. And spawn points truly can break an entire map. I know one map from the private beta that urgently needs a redesign. GG has promised that they added more TSAs, but I worry about the other maps.
Killzone 3 has one hit snipers, which, in the beta, people use to camp. 1 hit kills should be rewarded for players who get headshots yet people can sit back, stay invisible and get ridiculously lazy kills. Not only that but marksmen get assault rifles. They are a distance class, yet they get assault rifles, stay invisible, and there is nothing that counters them.
Infiltrators are like the Marathon, Lightweight, Commando class and the melee definitely needs some work done with it. It's gotten to a point that the class is indistinguishable and you end up shooting teammates. The tactitian's ability to see through walls is really cheap, I'd really like it if it went back to the Marksmen class and if it couldn't see through walls. I can turn on spot and scan and watch anybody come through corners with the exception of the Snipers.
And the ribbons ruin the game. The start is fun, but by the end people are killing you with M82's in two shots from across the map because of damage modifiers. In K2 it was impossible to use an M82 like that because of recoil and health.
In COD you get rewarded for kills, in Killzone they reward you for NOT getting kills-- the damage perk is earned through getting 5 assists. That practically rewards BAD players for not getting kills! That makes less sense than COD's killstreaks. It's absolutely confusing why they would do that.
The damage is already too low for a squad based shooter (with no squads), yet now you drop like flies and medics are useless to help you, nor does anyone care because it's much more run and gun, and then respawn again. Players need to be punished with longer down times, but of course, COD players complain about that, they want to just jump right back into the action after they die.
Again, I love the game, but it's far too evident that they've made sacrifices that didn't have to made in order to appease the wider audience.
Alpha-Male22 == win
I'll take the time to download!!
