NextGenRetro: Killzone 3 Review

NGR Writes: Well, Killzone series just like Halo series defines the meaning of a FPS game on consoles, with its top-notch graphics and pretty good story you would pretty much need nothing more than a good and challenging gameplay which GG delivered very well.

LMAO!

Killzon 2 defines the meaning of FPS on consoles NOT kiillzone 3. Killzone 3 is not challenging at all. I beat the game on veteran in 4 hours with little trouble.

Killzone3 is also missing a lot of features that Killzone 2 had on top of that Killzone as been made to appeal to CoD fans and other fans of other shooters instead of Killzone fans. Killzone 3 is a downgrade from Killzone 2 and plays like CoD.

Killzone 2 > Killzone 3 fact! Guerrilla Games even knows this although they won't openly admit it. They even hired the Killzone 2 lead Multiplayer Designer back to ensure that Killzone 4 will be nothing short of great and will be everything that Killzone 3 should have been!

dinkeldinkse5465d ago

Killzone 3 is inferior to Killzone 2. I haven't touch Killzone 3 since the beginning of March, but I still play Killzone 2.

blackburn105465d ago (Edited 5465d ago )

I agree. GG should have made KZ3 the way they made K2 and satisfied the 2 people that continued playing it. That makes tons of sense.Suddenly everyone likes KZ2 after dissing it every chance they got.

thugbob5465d ago

ummm troll

KZ3 has sold less than KZ2, try again.

KZ3's current community isn't even alot. There are a lot of people complaining on the forums about how they can't find a full match.

KZ2 had plenty of people playing during it's prime. KZ3 won't last past this year.

DoomeDx5464d ago

Yeah killzone 2 multiplayer was done by Eric Boltjes.

Which was IMO the guy that made Killzone 2 bloody awesome.

Killzone 3 is ehmm..idk. i like it for one match a day. after that, im bored

Bell Boy5465d ago

I enjoy both the same for different reasons to be honest

Killzone 2 MP rocks

Killzone 3 using Move is sublime

Best of both worlds for me I guess

MintBerryCrunch5465d ago

KZ2 is still going...if i need my MP FPS fix, that is what i play...balance, even teams, no glitching and all the people that complained about the game have moved on

Staypuftafroman5465d ago

I still play as well. I haven't yet earned that weekly ranking trophy.

MintBerryCrunch5465d ago

ive gotten the top 10 and top 6 percent

but when i look at the leaderboards...im not even close...people still play this game a lot

Holeran5465d ago

For me (and I may be one of the few) I like Killzone 3 a lot more than Killzone 2. I played Killzone 2 multiplayer for a long time and I have played Killzone 3 since its release and to me is a much better game than Killzone 2. It is a personal preference and I'm sure I will get mass disagrees but I play Killzone 3 everyday for at least an hour and I love it.

Ju5465d ago (Edited 5465d ago )

I prefer KZ3 over 2 as well. Maybe KZ2 was the deeper experience, but KZ3 is just the better game. IMO, of course. Move alone makes a huge difference.

Rezka5465d ago

I agree dude with back when I used to play killzone 2 I would play one match and get bored easily and quit game sure killzone beated killzone 3 with its features but gameplay wise is something else.Killzone 3 is way better than killzone 2

thugbob5465d ago (Edited 5465d ago )

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I try to pass off my opinion as fact because I'm a bit butthurt. I was really looking forward to KZ3. KZ3 was supposed to be a game that I would play for another 2 years. Now I find my self look for other shooters to get my FPS fix.

Brink was a game that I was looking forward to but it doesn't seem to have longevity. Now Battlefield 3 is the game I'm looking forward to. People have recommended Bad Company 2 since I really like KZ2 so much that's why I'm looking forwards to BF3. I can undertstand why people like KZ3 especially if you didn't play KZ2, but I just feel that KZ2 was unique.

The heavy movement and the recoil/bullet spread on the guns were not done in other shooters. Spawn grenades and Custom Server list also made Killzone 2 stand out. Killzone 3 does have things that are good about it. My main gripe with Killzone 3 is that the gunplay which is the core has been made so that if you are use to playing other shooters you'll have no problem picking up KZ3 and owning.

GG should have left the core gunplay the way it was in Killzone 2. If you don't like it then Killzone is not the game for you. I don't understand why people feel that all shooters should play the same.

Plus the main complaint about KZ2 was the sluggish controls not the recoil or health, but GG changed them anyway. GG added, removed, and changed things that they shouldn't have in KZ3. I do a sure you though that KZ4 will unquestionably be the best FPS on consoles this gen(if it comes out this gen) because GG got their Lead Multiplayer Designer for KZ back!

HOSe5465d ago (Edited 5465d ago )

killzone3 albeit very cool looking, gets boring way to fast. and once youve leveled up, the only thing left to do is pwn noobs.

the game was a swing AND a miss by GG
could have been the best fps on the ps3 but it whiffed

HOSe5465d ago

kz3 while a good game, was seriously rushed to the market.

gamestop %50 trade in starting the 23rd = bye bye k3

Thoreau5462d ago

i believe that most of you aren't good enough to decide anything, but the lack of a lobby balance mechanism and custom rooms does hurt.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic525d 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.

Storm23525d 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.

lockedongamer1525d ago (Edited 525d 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!

Chocoburger516d 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.

1Victor1091d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1091d ago

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

jznrpg1091d ago

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

badz1491090d 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!

Vengeance11381091d 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 Kim1091d ago

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

VersusDMC1091d 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?

Vengeance11381091d ago

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

solideagle1091d 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.

Phoenix761091d 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

REDGUM1091d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301091d ago (Edited 1091d 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.

blacktiger1091d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1091d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1091d ago (Edited 1091d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1091d ago

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

Imalwaysright1091d 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

MadLad1842d 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.

Applejack1842d 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_B1842d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1842d 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.

1842d ago
Vegamyster1842d 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.

SinkingSage1842d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1842d ago (Edited 1842d 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 Kim1842d ago

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

MadLad1841d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1842d 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.

Magatsuhi1842d ago

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

Binarycode1842d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1842d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
