First off, before I write this I would like to make it known I only own a PS3 and consider myself to be somewhat of a fanboy. Not a really extreme one but a mild one. Now that i got that out of the way here is why I believe that KZ3's stunning graphics are a bad thing.
"The lack of offline (multiplayer) or split-screen in Killzone 2 is a result of the Playstation 3 not being able to handle the two screens being rendered at the same time."-Herman Hulst in April 2009. Uncharted 2 which had equal or maybe superior graphics did not have offline split-screen because of the graphical power limiting their ability to create two equal screens running at the same time. So as we may enjoy the stellar graphics of Killzone 3's campaign and online multiplayer something will seem missing. My ability to play with friends on co-op or 1 VS 1.
Sony, how do you expect to get Xbox gamers to come buy PS3's if they can only watch there friends who own PS3's play KZ3. I was sold on buying a PS3 over the Xbox because I fell in love with Resistance:Fall of Man's offline co-op when i played it at a friend's house. Which in turn got me a PS3 and introduced me to a whole new world of game series I never heard of but now enjoy (God of War, R&C and Socom to name a few)
So I say that to allow KZ3 to have offline multiplayer I would be happy to see a graphical cut down. It's not like it would be a tragedy if it had graphics similar to Modern Warfare 2 or Socom 4.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
That was a big complaint on KZ2. I can guarantee theyve looked into it, and are gonna fix it. I think if it where to do split screen it would have to be similar to Halo 3's split screen, with black bars on each side of the tv.
Id much rather have this, than degrading to CoDs graphics lol.
I'd much rather have the visuals like they are in kz2, and if they do degrade for splitscreen I hope it's only when playing splitscreen.
but this is my issue with most games today. I remember growing up as a kid and just having a blast with split screen, beating the hell out of each other in goldeneye with a bunch of buddies.
Now days you can't even do this in the same bedroom/living room or without online. To me this is a major major shame and is kind of a step backwards in terms of multiplayer....not being able to just play with buddies....what a shame.
This split screen issue is evident and degrading in many games today. The original Killzone was extremely satisfying in split-screen with my brother even with all the framerate problems. The fact that there were bots and not just us to against each other made the game hundereds of times much more enjoyable!
Splitscreen blows and will always blow. Srry.
