Killzone 3 vs. Resistance 3 Multiplayer

16bitmonster: Now that Resistance 3 video clips are floating around the net so I couldn’t help myself to start comparing the two Sony heavyweights first person shooters (exclusives).

I always though Resistance FOM multiplayer as one of the PS3 finests, lets hope they can replicate it

off topic its great to know they both support move and 3D

Primetimebt5447d ago (Edited 5447d ago )

Killzone 3 is a pure example of why even the best looking graphical games don't sell. Resistance series is a far better game without the graphics. I don't even see anyone on my PSN buddy list playing KZ3 anymore. Just take away the "Sony" logo on the title and I'm sure this would get 100 agrees.

Ranshak5447d ago

Sorry but this is a Sony fans dominated website, slightest utter against Sony will result in flames.

Rapture135447d ago

Though I have never played a Resistance game, I have to agree on KZ3. I have been an avid Xbox gamer since Xbox 1 launch. I always wanted a PS3 though, as I am not a fanboy, so I sold my 360 and bought a PS3 along with KZ3. While it was a good game, I had no desire to go back to the SP, and the MP got boring fast. Though it is miles better than CoD(a series I hate), IMO the MP just isn't nearly as engaging as other FPS titles. (Halo, Gears, BF, Quake...even Crysis 2) I traded it into Gamestop, got Crysis 2, and I am having much more fun. I really hope Resistance is great, I need something to justify my PS3 purchase. I am borrowing UC2 from a friend in a few days too, looking forward to that!

undercovrr5447d ago

I completely agree with you. The problem with KZ3 is it was too similar to KZ2, and the SP was on part with COD (as in short and forgettable).

SCARE-KRO5447d ago

I wasn't sure about KZ3 initially. Being a KZ2 vet I still thought that KZ2 was better. (MP and SP). I recently picked up a 3D-TV and the Sharpshooter and I would have to say the KZ3 is the most immersive game I have ever played. (Even more than Shadow of the Colossus.)

I agree that it could have been even greater - but if you look at some of the changes that have been made from KZ2 to KZ3 it's more than you've got from one COD to the next. Let's hope that they capitalise on the ground gained (and lessons learned) from KZ3 and produce what could be one of the finest shooters of all time in KZ4 (Helghast Camapaign would be awesome).

It may not have lived up to our expectations but before you knock KZ3 - play it in 3D with surround sound and with the sharpshooter, on Elite difficulty - and you cannot say that it is not a fantastic gaming experience.

PS. I had a 3 minute, mini-boss battle with one very cunning, regular shotgunner trooper in the trench of the Pyrhuss Evac level.

PPS. Hope they keep and expand on the Co-op as well.

Primetimebt5447d ago (Edited 5447d ago )

Listen if it comes to ps3 over 360 I will take the ps3 because it's my cup of tea, crap I even been called a ps3 fanboy but soon as I call any Sony game horriable it's like these immature ps3 fanboys want to strip my ps3 fanboy title away.

Listen I been gaming 23 years back when graphics didn't mean crap, and multiplayer didn't even exist. A game sold base on it's single player, and how fun it was, so don't hate because I still put single player on the top of my list with multiplayer being a bonus.

Already said on what appears to be the same article that I commented on yesterday that they have quite different multiplayer experiences so I don't see the point in pitting them against each other as nothing can be learned from it

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5447d ago

The multiplayer in Resistance is really the only multiplayer I invested a lot in. But I liked killzone 3's too.

LoaMcLoa5447d ago

Both just look like COD now, so I'd say Duke Nukem Forever.

trainsinrdr5447d ago

somethings a bit off about you?

GodofSackboy5447d ago

Seriously people on this site think every game that even mentions guns is effing Call of Duty. What is even so wrong with COD? Its got the most content of any shooter, always launches with around 15 maps and 40 guns, zombies, co op, etc...

Tell me - how are they like COD? If everyone on N4G got together and made a game I swear it would take 300 bullets to kill anyone because everything would be weak. There would be no upgrades, no customisation, no vehicles ("overpowered") , have no multiplayer anyway because everyone here hates it, you would have no secondaries, there would only be one gun, one map, no sprint, cover...

It's like everyone on N4G hates content...ffs

LoaMcLoa5447d ago

I really don't hate COD, but I don't like other games trying to be it. Let COD be COD, and Killzone be Killzone.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic462d 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.

Storm23462d 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.

lockedongamer1462d ago (Edited 462d 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.

Resistance 3 is a Classic, 13 Years On

Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.

Sony needs to remake the trilogy on ps5

CrimsonWing69476d ago

I’d rather them do a new game in the world of Resistance.

Cacabunga476d ago (Edited 476d ago )

I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.

Eonjay476d ago

I absolutely adored Resistance 3 but they do not NEED to remake this game. They should do something that they enjoy and if it is Resistance then so be it.

Mr_cheese475d ago

Loved resistance 3, played the whole thing on co op with the move controller and gun, was very different!

Resistance 2 online was the best

gamerz475d ago

Me too, but also on a 3D tv! R3 was one of the few games that got plastic rifle panning motion right.

isarai476d ago

Such a criminally underrated series, id love a remaster collection of the trilogy.

preciousdeath476d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof476d ago

Not a classic in my opinion ; a pretty mediocre PS3 shooter as far as I'm concerned, not bad, not the worst of the trilogy, but certainly not great. Killzone 2 was miles ahead of it (and of most FPSs even today as far as I'm concerned).

pwnmaster3000476d ago

Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.

P_Bomb475d ago

Ah yeah, R1! I cut my teeth on the one-shot Walmart map, lol! Miss that.

gamerz475d ago

Played that demo soooooo many damn times since it was the only thing to play for a while at launch. That and motorstorm.

refocusedman476d ago

killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.

JEECE476d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow475d ago (Edited 475d ago )

Although I agree on original games and creativity over licensed IP, especially something like Ghost of Tsushima. But Sony's looking at that series selling less and less overall with the 3rd estimated to not even sell 2 million. Gamers who say they loved it didn't really buy it.

While Spiderman the series has sold over 50 million not counting PC. And Spider-Man 2 is over 11 million so far. If you had their business and had to make their decisions, what would you do in their shoes?

JEECE475d ago

@ApocalypseShadow

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.

Knushwood Butt476d ago

So you are saying 1 was the worst?
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree.

I'll start with what I didn't like about 3:
- OK, Nathan Hale is gone but new player character totally forgettable. Can't even remember their name.
- Awful forced in 3D. Just look at KZ3 for 3D done well.
- Online multiplayer that paled in comparison to 1 and 2. Put hundreds of hours into the first two. Probably less than 10 hours into 3.
- Campaign was OK but I played the other two more, especially 1.

Pedrof475d ago

1 had my favorite gunplay of the trilogy (no need for COD iron sight) so I guess my worst would be 2. At least 3 wrapped up the storyline, supported the move controller and had prettier graphics. But in my book, none of the three really stood out. From that era, I prefered Singularity for example and obviously Killzone 2.

I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1028d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1028d 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

badz1491027d 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!

Vengeance11381028d 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 Kim1028d ago

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

VersusDMC1028d 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?

Vengeance11381028d ago

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

solideagle1028d 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.

Phoenix761028d 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

thesoftware7301028d ago (Edited 1028d 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

talocaca1028d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1028d ago (Edited 1028d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1028d ago

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

Imalwaysright1028d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
