Definitive in what way exactly? In my honest opinion its the same formula as its predecessor, little to no innovation in its gameplay mechanics, and doesn't do much to improve upon the story or characters from what countless review sites have mentioned....my assumption would be that certain console specific fans would "Like" you to believe this is the definitive shooter, but according to Metacritic it has fallen short with its current score of 85..which is the same as other "Definitive" titles in the 80's such as "You Don't Know Jack", "Marvel Pinball", "Joe Danger" or even "Gran Turismo 5"...understand fully that I intend to rent this game at my local game shop to thoroughly address my worries about it, and I may possibly purchase it once the price drops on this title...however that is doubtful since my hard earned money is currently allocated towards the purchase of Resistance 3

zootang5575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

If you have played the Beta or the single player demo. You would be thinking to yourself what is with some of the reviews out there.

It is the best looking first person shooter I have ever seen. Move implementation is incredible, it brings realism in video games to a whole new level. This is a true First Person Shooter.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5575d ago

Hardly brings realisim with its fantasy art style but it looks great regardless but not realistic.

zootang5575d ago

I meant with the Move controller it really feels like you are part of the action.

tehpees35575d ago

its great to see some people giving killzone 3 the credit it deserves.

it looks amazing and far surpasses even crysis 2. a must have for any PS3 owner

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5575d ago

surpasses Crysis 2? you cant say that til the game comes out lol, Crysis does a better job of nailing realisim but killzone isnt trying to be real so how can you compare them? lol

NewShadow1015575d ago

@ MARKUS_MAX1MUS

i agree with you that its look isnt going for realism but towards a more fantasy art style. The game is gorgeous.

thugbob5574d ago

LOL @ This article. KZ2 is hardcore, KZ3 is not. KZ3 is more accessible than KZ2. KZ3 is not balanced. It gives you that illusion by making all the classes OP. The theory "if everything is OP then nothing is OP" is BS when it comes to 1 on 1 situations.

KZ2 was far more hardcore than KZ3 or any other shooters like CoD, BFBC, Halo, etc.

KZ2 had depth to weapons that many players could not comprehend. Everyone cried about sluggish controls and how ADS was not needed.

ADS was very much needed in KZ2. You just had to use it at appropriate distances. You couldn't just run up to someone ADS hold the trigger and get a kill. Unfortunately many gamers are use to that type of gameplay so Guerrilla Games dumbed down KZ3 to make it more accessible to you guys. KZ2 had 24 variables in tracking bullet damage now in KZ3 it is only 7.

I bet GG laughs at articles like these. GG made KZ3 more simpler than KZ2 and it gets articles like "KZ3 is a Hardcore Console Shooter." LOL, me, GG and PC gamers are laughing at this title.

When Killzone 3 isn't a great hardcore shooter then what's wrong with the gamers nowadays? I mean, do you really think that games like COD or Halo have more overall quality than Killzone 3?

jimbone795575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

I don't think COD does, but I think the Halo series (with the exception of ODST) does. Reach is a top quality game and it's up there with, or above the rest of the best shooters. I really can't comment on the COD's I haven't played one since MW1.

Edit: to be honest with all the modes of play and content Halo: Reach has, I think the KZ series still has a lot of catching up to do. I don't want to sound like I am bashing KZ in any way, I think it's a great game and it’s top quality no doubt, but at the same time I am not blind and Reach offers way more. The only thing, in my opinion KZ3 has over any Halo is graphics, to me everything else Halo just does better. Oh KZ does have better brutality too. I can’t deny that.

theonlylolking5575d ago

If chuck norris punched every person who will ever agree to your comment then there would be a lot of hurting.

lil Titan5575d ago

with a name like "360degrees" the logo of the 360 as your avatar just off that you want me to believe you own an PS3? and i find it hard to believe that you would "rent" Killzone 3 from your "local" game shop. you must have gamefly since blockbuster doesnt rent out new games as soon as they release until the later months. Now if you plan to buy the game and then return it say that, i dont think anyone buys the bull$h!t your shoveling under a Killzone article

alexi_6665575d ago

ok dude, calm down with your "mature talk". you're trying waaaay too hard.

Pixel_Enemy5575d ago

oh god don't make me laugh

Thoreau5574d ago

halo 3 and reach play exactly alike, aside from reach's trash bloom...

Legion5573d ago

@ Thoreau

Obviously you have never played the games then, nor have you viewed all the complaints from the Halo 3 enthusiasts who claim they ruined the multiplayer in the searies by the all the changes in Reach gameplay.

I find Rech to be totally different in gameplay then Halo 3. With the added armour effects it plays more like a good version of Tribes then an updated halo title.

NewShadow1015575d ago

@MARKUS_MAX1MUS

i agree with you that its not going for a realistic look, but more towards a fantasy art style. its gorgeous nonetheless.

GodofSackboy5575d ago

If you had a PS3 maybe you could do that

Thoreau5574d ago

360, just buy a ps3 and you too can enjoy kz3...

TheFreak5575d ago

Pre ordered it today woohoo. This will be one of the best fps of 2011 maybe the best. Loved the beta and demo! It's so kick you in the nuts hardcore haha

Legion5575d ago

Note the report.

This article has no reference to Killzone 3 being the definitive anything. Nor does the article say... "Killzone 3 gets right what so many other shooters get wrong."

It basically says that Killzone 3 feels like a breath of fresh air. It is an article about how it is a hardcore shooter... not an article of how it is the DEFINITIVE hardcore shooter.

Trying to get hits by changing the articles meaning is not anything we need any more of on N4G.

Szarky5575d ago

It's shit like this that pisses me off about N4G... and makes me wonder if I should bother keep coming back.

Mr Tretton5575d ago

Yeah, this is getting stupid. So many articles twisting words, they should never get approved. Though I doubt most approvers proof read the articles completely.

Legion5573d ago

I did notice thatthe poster changed the header to remove the word Definitve from it. But still left the little personal comment in the description versus quoting the article like it should have.

A failure of our approval system. Get enough fanboys and ANYTHING will be approved.

BeaArthur5575d ago

I love Killzone because it forces you to constantly be thinking on your feet. Warzone is one of my favorite online game modes.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5575d ago

Crysis 2 & Killzone will be my two big multiplayers at the start of the year, each is a fresh break from these modern military FPS games that just all copy each other.

Homefront looks refreshing aswell but I hope they release a demo to give use a taste of the experience, I played in the closed beta which wasnt to impressive due to extremely sluggish movement. Time will tell.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic546d 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.

Storm23546d 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.

lockedongamer1545d ago (Edited 545d 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!

Chocoburger536d 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.

1Victor1112d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1112d ago

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

jznrpg1111d ago

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

badz1491111d 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!

Vengeance11381112d 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 Kim1112d ago

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

VersusDMC1112d 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?

Vengeance11381112d ago

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

solideagle1112d 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.

Phoenix761112d 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

thesoftware7301112d ago (Edited 1112d 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.

blacktiger1111d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1112d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1112d ago (Edited 1112d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1111d ago

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

Imalwaysright1111d 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

MadLad1863d 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.

Applejack1863d 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_B1862d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1862d 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.

1862d ago
Vegamyster1862d 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.

SinkingSage1862d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1862d ago (Edited 1862d 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 Kim1862d ago

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

MadLad1862d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1862d 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.

Magatsuhi1862d ago

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

Binarycode1862d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1862d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
