25 Needed Features for Killzone 3

The Killzone fans have spoken, and they feel as though Guerilla Games left out some key features that could have greatly improved the overall gameplay of Killzone 3. Here is a list of some essential features that we feel should be added or re-implemented into the game. If you feel like anything was left out , feel free to comment below and we’ll update it!

all great things missing from the MP

-Alpha5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

Wth, I wrote this!

http://community.killzone.c...

:O

This was just a forum post copied into an article. I was only trying to outline what KZ3 lost in translation and am trying to talk to the devs on the forum to see if any of those features can come back.

It wasn't meant to be a totally serious post either. I don't expect spawn grenades to return but I do think taking step backs with something like stat tracking, removing theater replay, etc was something illogical to do in a sequel.

The article doesn't even source the forum post. Time for a lawlsuit?

cyborg69715466d ago

You should be pissed alpha and you were spot on with the list. I can't believe they took out so much stuff in a sequel, aren't you suppose to ADD to a sequel. Tell em to take off hoser.

theonlylolking5466d ago

HAHAHA you should sue them.

Nitrowolf25466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

lol dude i saw this and here i was thinking you submitted it as news

4me25466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

I can not find the source (it was somewhere in official blog) but they announced that custom games (exactly like KZ2) patch coming shortly after release. So at least some of the features missing in KZ3 should come back.

PS
Alpha-Male22- you having 8 bubbles makes me think twice about disagreeing with you (jk)

Pixelated_Army5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

What the fuck! Alpha I was the one who encouraged you to make this in the first place! No credit for me..?..that BS! haha

Oh god don't let the attention go to your head. :P lol Congrats dude!

DoomeDx5466d ago

I agree. Except for the Squad Respawn Alpha-male.

I mean..there is a 5 second respawn time. The abillity to spawn on your squad leader will just make it even worse.

It worked with killzone 2, because the respawn toke 10 seconds

BISHOP-BRASIL5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

If this list is your I agree on almost everything.

I disagree on #25, Sniper Rifles are supposed to take enemies out with one shot, don't matter if it hit the leg or arm, with big enough bullet no one fights back... Every game I heard the same complain and I don't know if there is a post-release solution but lowering the damage on snipers make no sense. Better would be if while designing the game devs think twice about including sniper rifles, most multiplayer maps on practically all shooter don't fit it, they fit marksman rifles at the best.

EDIT: I would like to add (for the next Killzone) they could use a longer campaing and a better ending. KZ3 was a great single player game (I'm just starting the MP today, so I won't judge for now) but when you are just wanting more, out of nowhere, the game ends on a kind of lame battle, totally oposite to KZ2 Radec battle.

The game also felt way easier (beated it on hardest dificulty available on first playthrough and made it through same parts without dying not even once) although I wouldn't say it's a problem, it's still fun.

HolyOrangeCows5466d ago

lol, they're making money off of it, too, thanks to their ads. That's BS.

NeloAnjelo5466d ago

Great Post Alpha. I agree with everything on the list. These made KZ2 so unique!

Dee_915466d ago

ALPHA GET YOUR MONEY BRO !!

ChronoJoe5466d ago

To be fair a list like this is kind of... dumb.

There are a few key problems that GG need to focus on. I don't want them getting caught up with crap like re-adding honor ranking.

That and asking for features which can't happen (Custom music consumes more system resources) so they won't be able to add it in without improving efficiency of all code. An absurd request at post development stages.

killalot1005466d ago

LMAO as soon as I saw this I was like, they stoled this from a killzone 3 forum post I read a couple of days ago.

Zydake5466d ago

Hey i think you should. But then again if a website gained attention of your post that might be a good thing makes you think probably a dev read it too

25 Needed Features for Killzone 3

TOO LATE ITS OUT TUFF LUCK.
LOL na seriously biggest flaw i found with kz3 multiplayer wise. was the matchmaking. total BS' we choose EU servers. yet you get people all over joining americans too. not being funny or having ago cos americans join but EU servers are meant to make connection better. thoe i feel kz2 was better choose your lobby's for best pings. all games seem to take this cheap route these days.

MintBerryCrunch5466d ago

why does the game give me the ability to make 4 turrets when it automatically destroys the one i have already set up...dumbest thing they did MP wise going from KZ2 to 3

CaliGamer5466d ago

I think that only 4 turrets can be active at any given time. So if you and 3 other people have a turret active, then another person would have to wait for one to be destroyed before they could place one.

Seems like they were trying to balance the game by doing that, one person with like 4 turrets racking up kills.

MintBerryCrunch5466d ago

i do realize that, but in KZ2 if 4 turrets arent active, you can set up a 2nd or 3rd turret if the slots are open, yet even if you level up your engineer in 3, the moment you try to place a 2nd turret to give you some support, your other turret blows up

-Alpha5466d ago

I learned that the hard way. Placed my second turret next to my first one and committed suicide

Soldierone5466d ago

And thats what was happening....lol. I stay alive long enough to earn a second turret and was wondering why my old one always disapeared. Thats just stupid

thehitman5466d ago

I believe its so u can change the location of the turret instead of placing 1 and its stuck there.

norman295466d ago

Because if not it gives players the ability to camp and surround themselves with turrets, and if you have all 4 turrets active then your team mates cant activate any as its 4 turrets for the whole team not each player so GG had to give everyone a fair chance of using them, its just the same with the Drones, you call another one and the first one flys away.

MintBerryCrunch5466d ago

plus with the games going down from 32 to 24, less players rely on that class, if lets say you are the only engineer on your team, why shouldnt you be able to set up more than one turret

rdgneoz35466d ago

You can make multiple turrets if you live long enough and your turret gets destroyed. Same thing with my medic being able to have 3 medi-droids or such, if one blows up, wait for the cooldown to end and you can pop another.
That's all taking into consideration that you're good enough to survive that time frame without being killed. The extra "lives" or such for your turret or such refill over time or such.
Also, if you want to move your placement of a turret, ta-da, you have the ability to place it somewhere else to get the right placement to hold off the enemy, but you can only do so as long as you have extra available.

nightmarex1215466d ago

If everyone had 4 turrets you could just mass them which is really cheap. Also they to encourage people to hack other people turrets. But yeah i think their should be a least 2 turrets if its like a big map.

KRATOS-PS35466d ago

Well, I'm having connection problemes too sometimes. Maybe GG having problems with the servers, I don't know - but the MP is great. GG made an awesome job with this game.

RXL5466d ago

bubbles to all who responded...thank you.

ZombieAssassin5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

The match making hasn't been that great for some, the devs are working on it though trying to figure out what's causing it. I think that's why they have been shutting down the servers lately for a couple of hours, to try and fix them.

@below
Lol thanks

RXL5466d ago

bubble..

awesome name btw lol

Soldierone5466d ago

You must be playing Black Ops instead, check the disc. :P Joking aside, a patch is coming out soon that should fix the issues. In the meantime just leave and come back and it should work.

that is no joke...ugh@ the connectivity issues of black ops..

i like playing but it's frustrating when all you want to do is play..and you get that stupid little disconnect sign..

I like that they added a mode similar to Rush. Now my two favorite multiplayer modes are in the same game! (Warzone and "Rush")

ZombieAssassin5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

Ha i think this guy just stole Alpha-Male22's list from the Killzone forums damn near word for word, still it's true it needs damn near all of them.

@below
EDIT: Ha he doesn't seem to remember you him asking

G3Titan_5466d ago

I talked to alpha male and got his permission ,and as you can see I'm not taking any credit whatsoever. It directly states "The Killzone Fans Have Spoken".

-Alpha5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

When did you get my permission?

Are you even aware I'm on both the KZ forums and on N4G?

xjumpman235466d ago

http://community.killzone.c...

here you can use my thread as long as you cite me as the source .

rdgneoz35466d ago

Yah, "The Killzone Fans Have Spoken", but you should give credit when its not your words. You never mentioned Alpha-Male22 at all in your editorial, so you saying fans have spoken can make it seem like you wrote those words and are speaking for all KZ fans.

AssassinHD5466d ago

You don't technically need his permission, as Alpha-Male22 likely does not own a copyright for his forum post, but still, making an article centered around his forum post without affording him the simple courtesy of asking him gives me a very poor impression about your character. Of course then you lied about getting his permission so you look even worse.

G3Titan_5466d ago

I messaged him via psn and the kz forums whether he got it or not I don't know but all I am trying to do is give it a chance to be seen. I never once tried to take credit as I said you can clearly see that it states "The Killzone fans have spoken, and they feel as though Guerilla Games left out some key features that could have greatly improved the overall gameplay of Killzone 3."

Soldierone5466d ago

Its not correctly sourced either way. and saying "i dont know if he got it or not" is also another mistake. Either he allowed you to copy it or not.

If you were a big site like IGN you could of gotten in a lot more trouble than people telling you this.

Either re write it in your own words next time or source it correctly. Name of author, and link to website location, with article in quotes.

KwietStorm_BLM5466d ago

Lol you don't know if he got it or not. That's your case? All you have to do is cite the author and source. Even after people have called you out on it, you still have not. It's not that hard.

G3Titan_5466d ago

All he wanted was his username and the forum link.

AssassinHD5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

So you don't know if he got your messages, but somehow that translates into "I got his permission"?

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic447d 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.

Storm23447d 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.

lockedongamer1447d ago (Edited 447d 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!

Chocoburger438d 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.

1Victor1013d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1013d ago

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

jznrpg1013d ago

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

badz1491013d 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!

Vengeance11381013d 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 Kim1013d ago

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

VersusDMC1013d 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?

Vengeance11381013d ago

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

solideagle1013d 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.

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.

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

MadLad1764d 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.

Applejack1764d 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_B1764d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1764d 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.

1764d ago
Vegamyster1764d 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.

SinkingSage1764d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1764d ago (Edited 1764d 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.

MadLad1763d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1764d 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
