DLC coming soon for Killzone 3

A few days ago Guerrilla Games had openly denied the possible release of DLC relating to 'highly acclaimed multiplayer mode "Operation Mission, but he reassured the fans saying they would definitely out of the maps via PS Store. Sounds very close to Guerrilla say it could soon maps out a pack of five at a price of € 9.99. When exactly? Well the date is not sure yet, but we talk about the first or second week of April. Of course, two of the five maps will be set out on the snow , while a third will include a huge hangar and a few areas outside of it. Waiting for more news, stay tuned!

The game needs DLC. It only launched with 6 maps. That's pretty bad.

Luckily, I got the two throwback maps and there's another pack of two new maps on the way, so that should help.

But regardless of how big the maps are, 6 is just not enough.

mikiberto235547d ago

Obviously 6 maps aren't enough. So i think that the rumor must be true.

Warprincess1165547d ago

I hate to say this but i hope they did not put 6 maps in to just release the others as DLC.

-Alpha5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

Except they had 8-10 maps.

My problem with the maps is that they didn't design them with the intention of being playable in all 3 modes, let alone 2 for some of them.

And the DLC continues that trend: One Warzone map, one GW map, you can't play them interchangeably and you don't or won't likely ever see Operation maps again.

I'd pay solely for Operation maps, it's real fun but disappointing how they only added 2 new ones from the beta and stopped it at that

Echo3075547d ago

You're right, it was 8 maps, not 6.

Even still, the fact that some are only playable on a single game-type hurts.

I wish there was a version of each map that could be played via every mode.

M4ndat0ry_1nstall5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

6 maps? Obviously disc space was not the reason for so few maps, $ony wants more of your money it seems (DLC).

mikiberto235547d ago

Everyone wants more money...

@Mandatory Install Look At The Disagrees, Sony Clearly Was Greedy But Fanboys Are Denying It By Disagreeing, Plus 5 Maps For 10$ Is A But Steep

Eyeco5547d ago

although Mandatory is a trolling douchebag he actually has a point, why is it that Halo 3 a game released 3-4 years ago on DVD9 has more features, modes and Maps than Killzone 3 a game released last week on a blu ray disc ? whats the excuse for that ?

don't get me wrong i think Halo is a garbage franchise, but you've got to give credit where its due, KZ3 is extremley lacking in content.

willie325547d ago

@ BlmThug

Do you think five maps for $10 is steep? COD charges another $5.

redsquad5547d ago

Bim Thug, maybe people are disagreeing because he's wrong - It launched with EIGHT maps!

Lawliet5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

No... People disagree BECAUSE he didn't even got the game! And he is here TROLLING!

Launched with 8 and the retro pack makes 10...

MAWLR Graveyard
Corinth Highway
Pyrhius Crater
Bilsgrad Boulevard
Turbine Concourse
Akmir Snowdrift
Frozen Dam
Kaznan Jungle

Retro pack ($5 or free w/ pre-order)
Blood Gracht
Soloman Market

rdgneoz35547d ago

Hey, stop presenting facts here. What is this, an intelligent discussion? Its hard for some people to count you know...

redsquad5547d ago

Not to mention the fact that FROZEN DAM is split - The smaller Guerilla Warfare map and the huge Operations/Warzone arena, making it essentially two maps in one.

redsquad5547d ago

Hmm, apparently it DIDN'T launch with eight maps at all according to the sad disagree-fairy.

Seriously, if bashing that button for no reason at all gives you some kind of empowerment then you're a disturbed individual.

blackburn55547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

Stop. Your ruining all the fun people on this site have moaning and pissing about KZ3. Let's exaggerate instead. It's not 8 maps it's 6. And let's make sure and forget about the 2 retro maps that many gamers got, We all know KZ3 would be better with a few more maps but can we tone down the b***hing just a little? BTW I am guessing the people who said it was 6 maps probably never actually played KZ3 at all. Just some stealth trolling as per usual.

nightmarex1215547d ago

No game has 6 maps i doubt even gears 3 will have 6 maps even if its a rumor, but kz3 has 8 maps so did battle field bad company.

Why can't they port all Killzone 2 Maps to Killzone 3?

mikiberto235547d ago

It's awful! The must put more NEW maps in Killzone 3!

BoNeSaW235547d ago

What game has EVER ported all the maps from the previous game?

NobleRed5547d ago

Why not adding the content from the previous game. Don't know why they let the old maps just die.

And what game has ever ported all the maps from the previous game?

Just take a look at the Socom series. SOcom II had all Socom I maps. Socom III had all Socom I/II maps.

VenGencE9995546d ago

I believe one of the Halo games has all of the previous maps. Either ODST or Reach, I'm thinking ODST because I have Reach and don't remember seeing it.

BoNeSaW235545d ago

@VenGencE999
Yeah ODST did have all the Halo 3 Multiplayer maps and only 3 originals. ODST was more glorified DLC. Really just a expansion of Halo 3 in my opinion.

Focker4205547d ago

The 2 Retro maps aren't simply ports. They're completely redesigned from the ones on KZ2.

Nicaragua5547d ago

To say they are completely redesigned is a bit of a stretch. Its the same maps reskinned with the new graphics engine.

Focker4205547d ago

Umm no, they really are redesigned. New lighting and environments. Soloman Market is way bigger than it was in KZ2, and Blood Gracht is now in the daytime and its completely overgrown with vegetation that wasn't in KZ2.

Actually play the maps before you speak up.

King_many_layers5547d ago

Nicaragua is correct. A change of lighting and foliage for another really does not change their overall attributes.

Completely redesigning the maps would be more like beach head from KZ1 into KZ2

BoNeSaW235547d ago

There would be a ton of balance issues for the old maps to do according to Gun damage, Range, Spawn Points and Bases all would have to be addressed so it would take more time than just a simple port. I have not played the Retro map pack so I'm not exactly sure how they play and what they changed either. Maybe they would all work but I'm sure Guerrilla would want to put a fresh coat of paint on a 2 year old game which would take up more time and resources away from developing original maps and game patches for KZ3. I would love all the old maps but it's really not feasible with the cost of developing this Gen that will happen. Ever.

I think the minor changes in the Socom franchises allowed direct ports of maps from one game to another. Also,the PS2 online days were completely different from what PSN has become. ZIPPER hosted the servers for the Socom store not SONY. They could do as much or as little as they wanted with the content. Speaking of Socom, can't wait for the BETA to start March 29 with Killzone 3 vouchers. Is that the correct date?

Shame they aren't making more operations maps though =\

crazyclown5547d ago

RyuCloudStrife5547d ago

we can talk more money later GG and Sony..

AntiHeroComplex5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

Sony shouldnt let game devs release DLC. All it does is needlessly split gaming community. Especially when you have several DLC packages available. That is just stupid. Not to mention that some of these maps and features should be in the game to begin with....

On Pc, games get expansion packs. That means that a long time after a game release (maybe a year or so), the game will get more maps, more campaign missions, more features. This will be priced appropriately (20$ or more). On PC, Expansions serve to revitalize interest in a game that has already been released... On consoles it does the opposite - splits gaming community within months of game release.

DLC should be gotten rid off for consoles and Expansion packs brought back. Id gladly pay 20-30 $ for a REAL expansion for killzone 3... Since devs know what went wrong with kz3 they can learn from mistakes and provide more interesting SP missions, and so on.

Its insulting to get DLC so soon after a games release. Release 1.. max 2 expansions to keep community as tight as possible. Make it more expensive and much later after game release.

I mean... have you guys noticed how console games NEVER get expansions? Thats because devs and publishers think pretty lowly of console gamers and know they can get away with making a few maps and charging money for it. Wish they provided us with expansions ... thats worth buying.

Mr Tretton5547d ago

"Sony shouldnt let game devs release DLC."

I'm sure Sony themselves make these kind of decisions. Sony is the money part, devs are the game part.

I do agree with you about true expansions. It would be cool if companies did that. 8-10 new maps plus single player or online co-op type of additions plus a little extra something of whatever (beta keys), for $19.99

AntiHeroComplex5547d ago

yeah... im not saying maps arent worth it. Im just saying that i wish they included some other things besides maps. The only supplements console gamers get in DLC is usually maps. Rarely do you get more.

Real expansions can offer more maps, more single player missions, more features (maybe online co-op)? 20-30$ is good for that. It would be nice to see something like that like 1 - 1.5 years down the road.

Console gamers are expected to pay top dollar, yet we get very little substance.

IHateYouFanboys5547d ago

Epic hit the mark with the Gears of War 2 expansion pack - packed like 6 new multiplayer maps, a whole new campaign chapter, new campaign achievements etc. into a like $15 pack. was great value and refreshing to see.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic534d 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.

Storm23534d 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.

lockedongamer1534d ago (Edited 534d 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!

Chocoburger525d 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.

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1100d ago

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

jznrpg1100d ago

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

badz1491100d 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!

Vengeance11381100d 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 Kim1100d ago

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

VersusDMC1100d 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?

Vengeance11381100d ago

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

solideagle1100d 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.

Phoenix761100d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

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.

blacktiger1100d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1100d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1100d ago (Edited 1100d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1100d ago

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

Imalwaysright1100d 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

MadLad1851d 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.

Applejack1851d 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_B1851d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1851d 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.

1851d ago
Vegamyster1851d 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.

SinkingSage1851d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1851d ago (Edited 1851d 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.

MadLad1850d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1851d 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
