Guerrilla’s Technical Director, Michiel van der Leeuw explained to Digital Foundry why Killzone 3 is visually different from the previous installment. Interestingly, Van der Leeuw explains that while this is largely due to artistic direction, but that “some technology that played parts in it as well.”

with Crysis2 lol come on

Inside_out5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

.
I WASN`T impressed and thought that the developers bit off more than they could chew. Some games and some game engines work better in a darker environment ( AW )...KZ is one such game.

The " jungle " level showed a lot of the weaknesses this engine has. It was laugh out loud embarrassing with bad graphics, bad AI and robotic like physics that would not look out of place last gen...it's all there if you want to be honest about it...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Life like, fleshy organic graphics are not possible with this engine...tho they tried.

The cut scenes are brutal and far to long, interrupting the game play with a far to serious and melodramatic story I doubt anybody cared for...I just want to PLAY damn it...lol

I just don't get what it was the creative behind the game were thinking. People want white knuckle, hanging on for dear life battles not enemies that hide in cover and fire blindly from across the map or weapons that hold you hand by locking on targets for you...O_o

It seem like they spent a lot of time READING about other games and their game play and then decided to throw it in to KZ3 without any changes. The stealth mission, sniper mission, Mech mission...I mean it`s all been done before and far better.

The Boss battle that is always brought up was no different than shooting at a tall building...the thing never moved except up and down. EVEN Halo 2 years ago let you jump aboard the Scarab and fight the enemy while walking around. The on rails shooting sequences never felt like you were doing anything because they were out of your control...just a mess if you ask me.

There were some great moments...The jet pack and last couple missions were fun just too little, too late.

I did play Bulletstorm and finished it BEFORE taking on KZ 3 ( which I completed as well ) and that game is the anti COD-KZ3 game...this commercial says it best...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Guerrilla needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out what they want KZ as a franchise, to be...a ww2 Nazi in space COD wannabe or their own unique game with matching game play.

I bet you gave yourself a golf-clap with such a TROLLiffic article you THINK you wrote...in reality it is filled with NONsense...but...whatever makes you feel better bub.

Tilian5471d ago

Writing a series of paragraphs doesn't make your delusional trolling any more convincing.

LiL T5471d ago

@Cez, Hey bro thats cool but could you provide us ANY xbox exclusive game that even comes close to KZ3 in graphics and please provide links/screenshoots thanks.

r3p3lst33ltj35471d ago

Man you must be one of the most ignorant fanboys out there. I have read some of your comments (UC3, motorstorm 3 etc), you're so pathetic. All ps3 games are tech demos, all of the great graphics are fake and happen in the background, effects are not full 720p etc etc.

Even played GOW 3? Don't think you have. Get a life big man!

r3p3lst33ltj35471d ago

Just take a look at this guys comment history, nothing more to say.

r3p3lst33ltj35471d ago

Just to be sure, the "All ps3 games are tech demos, all of the great graphics are fake and happen in the background, effects are not full 720p" does not reflect my opinion but are remarks of Cez!

Pintheshadows5471d ago

Sensible comment are apparently not possible on the engine you're built on. Total idiot.

theonlylolking5471d ago

I want them to keep the same graphics but make it 60fps. I know it is possible since 3d you have to render 2 images at the same time. So 1 image @ 60fps wont be too much harder.

If they do that with KZ4 or there next game then that should get PC gamers to stop bashing the PS3.

piroh461d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic461d 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.

Storm23461d 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.

lockedongamer1461d ago (Edited 461d 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!

Chocoburger452d 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.

1Victor1027d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1027d ago

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

jznrpg1027d ago

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

badz1491026d 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!

Vengeance11381027d 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 Kim1027d ago

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

VersusDMC1027d 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?

Vengeance11381027d ago

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

solideagle1027d 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.

Phoenix761027d 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

thesoftware7301027d ago (Edited 1027d 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.

blacktiger1027d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1027d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1027d ago (Edited 1027d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1027d ago

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

Imalwaysright1027d 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

MadLad1778d 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.

Applejack1778d 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_B1778d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1778d 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.

1778d ago
Vegamyster1778d 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.

SinkingSage1778d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1778d ago (Edited 1778d 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 Kim1778d ago

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

MadLad1777d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1778d 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.

Magatsuhi1778d ago

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

Binarycode1778d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1778d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
