For the most part, Killzone 3 doesn't try to re-invent the FPS: instead, like so many others, it does its best to deliver a unique experience in a setting rife with possibilities and tricks to keep the player's adrenaline pounding through every firefight. In this respect, it succeeds in the same way that Halo's does turning its moments into memorable set pieces arrayed against impossible odds. From start to finish, this was one fight worth every spent bullet casing.
But it isn't perfect, either.
As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, let's explore the best PlayStation games Sony has to offer.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
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!
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
One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

So not a drop off.
Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
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.
@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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This guy is being a fanboy. This game is perfect. The single-player is nice and long. The multiplayer is really fun and addicting so this guy needs to keep his mouth shut.
Good article. KZ3 is an excellent game but it does have some flaws. Such as...
-Only 3 Operations maps. 3 really?? Being my favorite game mode its severely disappointing theres only 3 maps. But same for the other modes as well. Why is there no Kaznan Jungle and Blood Gracht Warzone maps, as well as Turbine Concourse, Corinth Highway, and MAWLR Graveyard for Guerilla Warfare?? They're doing it just like BFBC2 and MoH and its really annoying.
-The cover system in sp doesn't work. Playing through Elite you can't use the cover system at all otherwise they just keep shooting you in the head.
There were a few others, but I can't remember em at the moment. Like I said its still a great game and after I write this I'm getting back on it.
Unlike the author I thought the ending was very well done (the cutscenes, not the battle). It opens up a ton of directions for where the story can go and I can't wait to play KZ4 because of it.
Oh and for everyone that keeps thinking the ISA are the 'good guys'. The ISA banished the Helghast off of their home planet Veda and onto a planet (Helghan) that was at first uninhabitable. It is the ISA's fault the Helghast became who they were. I actually feel bad for the Helghast and hope that they destroy the ISA. The ending makes me think that KZ4 will take place on Veda and/or Earth, which I can't wait for.
Oh and they are adding/fixing a ton of things in the next patch so look out for that.
what i hate is people abusing good grief button it got me banned because some guy in my team talking trash to them in the other team i get blamed for it
I'm still struggling to get through KZ3 single player. Not because its so difficult but because its so incredibly dull. Visually its stunning as are the sound effects however, although the story is ok there is just nothing exciting or new about the gameplay. Its not quite paint by numbers but its not far from it.
Where was an epic Stalingrad style battle where you felt like you were up against thousands of enemy soldiers. Where was the AI that made you feel like you were fighting an intelligent enemy. Where was the stealth mission that actually tops the one in COD4! Honestly, the enemy is as dumb as a brick $hit house when it can't eve see you crawling through a thin band of grass. You can't even crawl so your head must have been sticking up over the grass for goodness sake.
Finally, when are you going to unlock a difficulty setting where it actually changes the nature of the game. Higher difficulties typically mean your health depletes faster and the enemies take more hits. How about harder difficulties mean tougher AI, less ammo, more enemy, changes in the game like having to play through extra parts of a level because the easier path is closed off. (NB: I watched my Son play through on the hardest difficulty and could not believe how little it changed in terms of difficulty).
Its by no means a flop or bad game but it simply offers nothing new.
I see so many people complain about how KZ does not have good weapon tech. If they knew the back story to why it is that way maybe then less peeps will complain.
WW3 happened in the KZ universe and after that war they focused on space technology so they could leave earth. Which is why they have so much space stuff in KZ instead of super high tech weapons. In KZ2 and KZ3 you see the helghast making high tech weapons.

No game is perfect.
