I wouldn't tell you because the game hasn't came out YET!!!

I feel like gaming journialism is killing gaming.

Bits-N-Kibbles5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Spoilers are becoming waaay to frequent. I feel like eventually we'll all learn at some point to just never look at them no matter how tempting.

For future reference. *SPOILER* should be written FIRST before any article title, that way you don't even have to read the title if you don't want to be tempted.

Edit: Shablagoo!

Sono4215571d ago

LOL Bits-N-Kibbles
I was afraid to read after the *SPOILER* sign because I wasn't sure if there was a spoiler or if it was just an example

theonlylolking5571d ago

True to that. I am finding that more small websites and blogs are who I agree with than these huge websites or corporations like IGN.

DEADEND5571d ago

I have to agree with you over the last few year we the gamers have let the media to speak for us and take over the game media. Just look a michael pachter he's all over the place and he know nothing about true gaming and yet he makes money off of us. Look at the VGA it has become an abomination, a bunch of non gamers hosting a game award, WTF is that. I'm so sick of how the media is covering gaming, it's just not the same anymore and it feels like it's just going to get worse before it ever gets better.

theonlylolking5571d ago

@deadend
True to that. People that play games like seananners, tobuscus, etc... should host the VGAs.

@JasonPX
No, I will go with the one that is thorough in there work and over the years most reliable.

Black_Arrow5571d ago

Agreed. These big sites now, like IGN and Gamespot tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth, it's hard to trust any of them anymore IMO.

It is actually much better to get more solid and reliable information from the more smaller companies.

Xilef5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

That's because they are owned by big companies.
IGN by FOX, Gamespot by CBS and gametrailers.com by MTV. They can't say their own opinion without their owners checking it first. For example GT would never give a Rock Band game let say a 5 because MTV wouldn't allow that.

I honestly don't care if you can beat the SP campaign in 15 minutes. I'm going to straight to the multiplayer and I plan to be there for a few months.

KRATOS-PS35571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Hmm, I also care for SP! And the developers nowadays really know how to make a length of such an awesome game like Killzone 3. And then Multiplayer. What more do you want? Such headlines are just dumb.

kaveti66165571d ago

the reason why the single player is shorter is because GG tracked how many people had actually completed the KZ2 campaign and saw that many of them had left off some way through, so GG decided to shorten the length of the KZ3 campaign.

NBT915571d ago

I read that comment in the actual voice of Phil :P

I dunno I did not really like the multiplayer in KZ2... So I am not sure if this is worth a rent or buy for a solo gamer :/

Focker4205571d ago

They already said that the timer works like this...
Doesn't include cutscenes
Resets when you die. So say you are at 3 hours when you reach a certain checkpoint. If you play for 10 minutes and die, it sends you back to that checkpoint and resets back to the 3 hours. So anytime you spend playing and then die, that time doesn't count.
The time they track is like you played the whole campaign without dying, and didn't watch any cutscenes. Its all pure gameplay only.

sashimi5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

That is the funny part because i thought all if not most games did that. Since i usually play a game you can beat in lets say avg 10-16 hours, i sometimes spend up to 20hours+ including deaths, cut scense, exploration. So i don't see the big deal. I don't play games to get the first review out, i take my time i enjoy the game and i've always found game time to be less than the amount of time i spent on the game in real life.

If some sites are gonna try and bash Kz3's like those a few days ago they should tape themselves playing the entire game with deaths and cutscenes included...

beavis4play5571d ago

focker420 - while what you're saying is true; the people who insist on blabbering on about the time won't listen to you. they either aren't bright enough to understand the concept or are just like making an ass of themselves.

sashimi - me too! i like to play the game and enjoy everything. check out all the enviroments and enjoy playing the game - i'm not going in with the mindset of how fast i can get through the SP so i can go on N4G and cry/brag about it.

iPad5571d ago

How come there's never an article about a Xbox 360 exclusive game being too short?

NoobJobz5571d ago

There are. I saw plenty of articles about Halo reach, odst, gears about how short they were.

esemce5570d ago

Yeah Reach,odst,mw2 and KZ3 are all too short, its a shame they can't live up to RE4/UC2's length AND quality.

It took me a little over 5 hours to complete on 'Trooper' normal difficulty. That said it was bloody brilliant!

Motorola5571d ago

yeah, ur walkthrough is great man. keep it up

Kon5571d ago

Avg time of a CoD campaign. Don't know if this is good or bad.

Focker4205571d ago

Ya but that doesn't count cutscenes or deaths.

rajman5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Wow 8 disagrees when I said nothing negative? and even 4 disagrees when i said 'Thanks' to someone? lol this site sure has alot of trolls. Anyways I did complete in in a little over 5 hours, I recorded myself playing through the campaign (no editing out deaths etc) and have almost finished uploading it on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/view...
What more proof do you want?

Focker4205571d ago

Well if you beat it in 5 hours than you beat it in 5 hours. I'm not arguing with you, but I'm not gonna watch your vid until I play the game for myself. No offence.

DelbertGrady5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

Blu-Ray - It only does 5 hour campaigns.

Game length has never mattered to me. As long as I enjoy the game and the time I put into it then I'm satisfied.

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

badz1491108d 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

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.

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

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.

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
