I bought my PS3 for Killzone 2, so my opinion should be pretty predictable when it comes to K3. I loved my hours with the beta today. The controls were improved, the map you can play on is so well thought out, and I don't think there was one time today where I got spawn killed. So many shooters today that's just a norm and something I've gotten accustomed to, so when it didn't occur once I was just nodding at my screen thinking, "this is how it should be."
The dedicated servers keep the game running smoothly so that when you mix that with the weighted guns and their recoil you get a great sense of immersion fragging people online without the momentum being broken up by some typical FPS idiotic design choice.
The classes have all been more stream lined and beefed up to mesh together more for a really fun game to play with friends. I also like how the leveling system is now geared to let you get upgrades to what you want, and not just unlock the classes like you did in K2. This makes it so anyone can jump in and be an asset out the gate.
The games sounds I think is what blew me away the most. Guerrilla just knows how to make guns SOUND amazing to shoot. Throw in some graphics that make real life look last gen, and you keep layering on the immersion factor more and more. When things sound and look this good you can't help and feel excited when you land a head shot across the map or gouge a mans eyes in with your thumbs.
Killzone 3 is set to release Feb 22nd, and I'll post back soon with a review to see if Guerrilla stepped it up for this highly anticipated sequel for PS3 owners.
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.
