Fixing a broken Killzone 3 Multiplayer

SarcasticGamer - After playing all weekend in the Killzone 3 Multiplayer, I can safely say that something is completely broken with this game. I almost completely wrote this game off after I realized what was so broken. But I didn’t. Instead, I’m going to fix their game and lay out what was dragging this game down and offer a better system in it’s place.

Luckily a Mega patch is coming soon, not with just fixes to MP and SP but with tons of tweeks and features.

Patience.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5557d ago

spektical5557d ago

Broken? How is it broken? I'm proficient with all classes. My KDR is currently exactly 2.50. Maybe this guy is just very bad, and like most who are bad at a game, blame it on the game. As far as patches are concerned, they've already been announced. The game as it sits however, doesn't even need any patches or adjustments, though they are always welcome. How do these stories get approved? This needs to be an opinion piece.

rdgneoz35557d ago

Ever stop to think for a second about whether the article was a joke or not? The website is called "Sarcasticgamer"... And the site also has an article called "Tim Schafer Steps Down From Double Fine"...

Apocwhen5557d ago

What has your KDR got to do with winning objective games?

jjank115557d ago

EXACTLY!! I really wish they would put in a more detailed stats board at the end of matches (esp. Warzone) to show how each person did per mode.

I could really care less about K/D. There have been plenty of rounds where I got many of the objectives but had like a 24-38 K/D and my team went 7 - 0!! Plus you'll level up much faster actually going for objectives. But I suppose everyone wants to play like its COD, NOT THIS GUY!!

Scottyabanks5556d ago (Edited 5556d ago )

Point of principle, I win a lot of games because I'm good, if my KDR is high, you can infer that I must frequently win games. Often the biggest reason people will say the online portion of a game is bad, is because they are not good, and they will pick and prod at the smallest things that are set up in a certain way that they simply aren't compatible with, or not good at. As far as the site goes, I never understood Sarcastic Gamer, are they really just a site that posts sarcastic material to get people like me going off on tangents such as this? If so perhaps I need to stop commenting on media from their site. Again though, when I mentioned KDR, I guess I should have just said, I enjoy the game and have no quarrels with it because I'm good at it. On another note, I loathe COD with the greatest of passions, but I do care about my stats.

The_Zeitgeist5557d ago

This article doesn't even demonstrate the point it sets out to prove. He starts by saying let me tell you why the game is unbalanced, then he goes on to give some opinions of why such and such ability doesn't go with that class and instead should be switched with another. How does that prove the class system is unbalanced?

SwampCroc5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

I like the MP from what I've played so far... I'm 89% on all trophies including the Retro Map Pack DLC....

I have played the shit out of this game...

my only gripe is MP should have the cover system... whether full time or with an option to turn it off..

I just felt that SP is more of the tool to understand the jist of the game, see how it runs, the smoothness... hell, even the tutorial for beginners... and then the jump into MP should just be an overall polished version of what the player just experienced in SP..

I just felt that since there was no cover system it can't of made me approach the way I played MP differently than the normal SP game... and I don't think it should be that way...

and I have no idea what KZ2 was like so I can't offer my opinion on the aspects of classes and things of that nature... but from just playing KZ3 I think it is setup cool.. kinda different... every is distinctly unique in a way..

so yeah, I'm sticking by the no cover system as my only problem... yet, I'm start enough and civil enough to understand they probably had reasons for doing so...

TronEOL5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

I agree with you on the cover system. I see no reason as to why they didn't put it in since you can't corner peak. If I remember correctly from the single player, if you can see the enemy, he can see you. So cheap tactics wouldn't be an issue.

Not to mention slide should have been in there too.
Once again, balance wouldn't be a problem since it balances itself out. You can't shoot while sliding.

They definitely missed their chance with those two features. Very big missed opportunity.

Soldierone5557d ago

Dont agree with slide. i agree with the hiding, but not the slide. Why? Look at what noobs do in COD and so on when you merely give them prone or dive to prone motions. Shooting at them and then suddenly your hit markers are gone and they are laying on the ground a second later shooting you. Its dumb and annoying.

Its like when games forget to take stamina away from jumping. Next thing you know noobs remap the buttons so they can jump and shoot everywhere.

SwampCroc5557d ago

yeah, I agree with you... the peek around the corner and the slide would be clutch. who knows maybe fan feedback will change some minds or something... I heard something about no operations DLC planned.. I don't get into all that sort of madness though. I just like to play the games and be happy... that is unless I'm doing horrible, than I wouldn't recommend you come near... haha but I'm done now..

*side note*... I apologize for my sloppy spelling in the post above and for writing start instead of smart...

I don't feel to smart catching that after the edit time expired.

BaSeBaLlKiD7215557d ago

They had the cover system in Killzone 2 beta. Apparently people were leaving negative feedbacks so they took it out for the full game and kept it that way for KZ3.

Thoreau5557d ago

i want that as well, cover system

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic539d 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.

Storm23539d 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.

lockedongamer1539d ago (Edited 539d 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!

Chocoburger530d 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.

1Victor1106d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1106d ago

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

jznrpg1105d ago

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

badz1491105d 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!

Vengeance11381106d 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 Kim1106d ago

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

VersusDMC1106d 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?

Vengeance11381106d ago

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

solideagle1106d 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.

Phoenix761105d 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

thesoftware7301106d ago (Edited 1106d 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.

blacktiger1105d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1106d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1106d ago (Edited 1106d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1105d ago

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

Imalwaysright1105d 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

MadLad1856d 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.

Applejack1856d 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_B1856d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1856d 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.

1856d ago
Vegamyster1856d 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.

SinkingSage1856d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1856d ago (Edited 1856d 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 Kim1856d ago

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

MadLad1856d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1856d 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.

Magatsuhi1856d ago

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

Binarycode1856d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1856d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
