TGX: Killzone 3 Review

TGX: Killzone is back but does this game of the series live up to the anticipation that drove from Killzone 2?

showtimefolks5546d ago

they improved everything from KZ2 and to the reviewers who said the story was bad i played through it caring about the characters and i could not say the same for many other FPS in the market

spoliers:

the way story ends there will be KZ4 but i think that will be next gen since GG are working on a new IP

warzone is still a blast to play

NukaCola5546d ago

Warzone is indeed very cool, you can really rack up up tons of points in it and it is a great way to scoop up all those DLC trophies and stuff.

Bathyj5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

I cant remember any other game where I finished it for the second time, and started playing again right away.

I blame the Sharpshooter, its just so damn good.

I'm going to go back to KZ2 now but I really wish they'd patch Move support in.

Balt 5546d ago

Love how all theses 9's and 9.5's it got never managed to make it to BETA-critic.

Rhythmattic5542d ago (Edited 5542d ago )

I know what your saying. All it takes is a missing comma or 's , and people might just read it wrong.

As for me, Probably 1/2 way with my first play-through . Really enjoying it...

Unfortunately working all this next week (non-stop) and cant wait to find out whats next with K3.

EmperorDalek5546d ago

I'd give it a 7/10.

The campaign was 5 hours long,(yet people bash MW2 and MOH
for that) there is only 8 maps and only 3 of them work for
operations.

The campaign was fun though, but not worth the purchase.

NanoSoldier5546d ago

never on earth is killzone 3 a 7/10. it is at least a 9/10.

Close_Second5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

I honestly think a 9/10 is just a touch too generous. Its a solid game but nothing outstanding. K2 had better on-line, if for nothing else because of the lobby.

The single player was great but again, I thought K2 was just a touch better.

For me its an 8.9/10. Overall it feels like a lesser product to K2 which for me was a 9.2/10.

Biggest negative for me is one aspect of the visuals. The way they swap more detailed textures into view is awful. Would probably look great on a small 30" inch or less screen but stands out like a sore thumb on the bigger screens.

GMWPS35546d ago

If you have a 3D TV you should play it all the way through in 3D!! It really is another experience! It makes it feel like a newer generation of FPS gaming!

The first time I heard about 3D I thought it was just the usual add on gimmick and after 5 minutes of gameplay I decided to try it. Holy S***! I've never changed it back to 2D after what I saw. You can see missiles flying by, bullet trails, laser sights, and get a good feel for where the Helgast are. It is very, very, very immersive!

To put it plainly, if I saw this game demo in 3D in a shop and didn't have a 3DTV but was in the market for a new HDTV, I'd make sure to buy a 3D HDTV! That's how great it is.

piroh541d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic540d 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.

Storm23540d 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.

lockedongamer1540d ago (Edited 540d 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!

Chocoburger531d 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?!

jznrpg1106d ago

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

badz1491106d 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.

Phoenix761106d 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

REDGUM1106d ago

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.

blacktiger1106d 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.

lukasmain1106d ago

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

Imalwaysright1106d 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

MadLad1857d 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.

Applejack1857d 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_B1857d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1857d 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.

1857d ago
Vegamyster1857d 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.

SinkingSage1857d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1857d ago (Edited 1857d 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.

AzubuFrost1857d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1857d 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?

Inverno1857d 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.

Magatsuhi1857d ago

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

Binarycode1857d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1857d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
