New Killzone 3 Map: Akmir Snowdrift Gameplay

MP6 is set in Helghan’s frozen southern regions, on a snowy peninsula linked to a Petrusite rig in icy ocean waters. Fierce blizzards scour the entire area, resulting in wildly varying degrees of visibility. It’s the perfect place for a Marksman to stalk his prey.

Look how sweet Operations also looks on this map: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

What's cool is that the objectives for Ops is different, including the actual game you are playing.

The map's blizzard is also real nice, I loved that effect on Uncharted 2's MP, it made the environment a factor that was both an advantage and disadvantage. It's something I want to see in Halo, Battlefield, etc.

I hope more games utilize weather like that for MP

Quadrostacker5574d ago

Yeah Operations is my favorite game mode in the beta and for one this map looks pretty sweet especially how GG puts the weather into affect its so immersive and also how they change up the gameplay for Operations for each map.

Redman225574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

Why dost thou tempt me so? Why!?! WWWHHHYY *voice fades into the background*

Looks amazing. Thanks Alpha!

TruEve5574d ago

Saw this earlier! Akmir def. looks nice.

Saw the Operations vid yesterday, but not the entire thing. If that is the final version, then I'm VERY disappointed that they replaced the Mecic's LS57 SMG with the StA-11 :(.

-Alpha5574d ago

Hey Eve, are you getting it day one? What's the Sta-11 again? The medic has the LMG, which is pretty dominant. But IMO the biggest thing they need to fix for guns is the Assault rifle for the Marskmen. He already has a sweet machine pistol for CQC, he doesn't need the assault rifle.

Also, I hope they beefed up the Engineer class a bit.

BeaArthur5574d ago

I hope they put the tacticians assault rifle back to where it was. I'm pretty sure they nerfed it during the open beta and now it kind of sucks.

NukaCola5574d ago

Don't freak out, you can unlock the feature to make any weapons set-up you want.

BeaArthur5574d ago

NukaCola...where did you hear that?

-Alpha5574d ago

"you can unlock the feature to make any weapons set-up you want."

?

The weapons are locked to your class

TheMysterion5574d ago

why isn't nuka cola replying? dos he know something we don't or is he just assuming?

TruEve5574d ago

@Alpha:

Sorry about the delayed response! Yeah, I should be getting it next Tuesday. The Sta-11 is the Helghast SMG:

I prefer the ISA SMG much more. Also, I'm not sure where NukaCola is talking about. From my knowledge, weapons are permanently locked to careers.

That video was amazing. I can't wait!

gijsbrecht5574d ago

Yeah, I just watched that same youtube gameplay. It's downright amazing what they have done with this particular map. The weather is quite an influence. And I love the looks of the surroundings. Another great map.

theonlylolking5574d ago

The map looks awesome. I just wish the medic, tact, and engineer were like KZ2.

They needed a tutorial for the tact.

a_bro5574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

the beginning cutscene reminds me of the 2005 trailer. the smoke effects look top notch.

Definitely spending alot of time on this map. Looks incredible.

cochise3135574d ago

This was day 1 after I saw the first video for KZ2.

cochise3135574d ago

Just 6 more days and I can sink my teeth into this masterpiece.

Map looks great...pretty big by the looks of it too.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic543d 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.

Storm23543d 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.

lockedongamer1543d ago (Edited 543d 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!

Chocoburger534d 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.

1Victor1109d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1109d ago

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

jznrpg1109d ago

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

badz1491109d 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!

Vengeance11381109d 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 Kim1109d ago

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

VersusDMC1109d 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?

Vengeance11381109d ago

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

solideagle1109d 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.

Phoenix761109d 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

REDGUM1109d ago

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

thesoftware7301109d ago (Edited 1109d 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.

blacktiger1109d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1109d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1109d ago (Edited 1109d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1109d ago

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

Imalwaysright1109d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1860d 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.

Applejack1860d 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_B1860d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1860d 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.

1860d ago
Vegamyster1860d 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.

SinkingSage1860d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1860d ago (Edited 1860d 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 Kim1860d ago

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

MadLad1859d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1860d 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.

Magatsuhi1860d ago

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

Binarycode1860d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1860d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
