Old news is old.

I thought we knew this months ago?

NecrumSlavery5026d ago

GG is really listening to the gamers in this one. This game is going to have so much variety, epic scenarios, awesome MP modes, it's not even just a FPS, but a visual cinematic epic through the eyes of the player.

Only concern is the controls. I hear this game is going to be more run and gun. I don't mind run and gunning, but the think I loved about KZ2, is it was tactical, not a floaty gun shooter. Hopefully they'll mix up the gameplay insegments of tactics and run-n-gun moments, and give controller options to suit everyone

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5026d ago

And it will have Move Support. More variety of Gameplay.

For those who are lucky enough to have a 3DTV, will be able to experience the game in a new way...
In the THIRD DIMENSION!

KZ3D will be Totally Epic, I can't even wait to play it, GG is making a Huge Beast with this Game, it's Incredibly Awesome the amount of stuff gamers will get in just one Game...

KZ3D FTW!!!

Bloodraid5026d ago

Could someone please explain to me exactly what is so good about the Killzone series? The games really don't have much going for them other than graphics, and other than that they are rather generic shooters. I mean, sure it's pretty to look at and all, but is there a hidden appeal that I'm not seeing in this series?

Also, they need to put a lot of work into these 'cinematic death animations'. The way the jetpack Helghast shot when they died seemed really odd for some reason. Same thing with the ship flying straight at the player.

lagoonalight5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

It what way is KZ2 any more generic than anything else out there? Yeah, thought so. The class system was great as were wargames. You might want to actually play it.

Hideo_Kojima5025d ago

For instance, a Helghast drop ships struck by a barrage of W.A.S.P. projectiles doesn't have to simply drop out of the sky; the force of impact can tear off the ship's stabilizers, causing it to bank and spiral wildly out of control before slamming into the ground with a massive explosion. Of course, this also makes it more difficult to predict where the drop ship will come down, as Sev finds out:

Bloodraid5025d ago

"In what way is KZ2 any more generic than anything else out there?" - That pretty much says right there "It is generic, but not anymore generic than everything else." I believe what you meant to ask is what makes KZ2 a generic game in my eyes.

I feel the Killzone series is generic because it doesn't offer much more than any other FPS does. Sure there's a very skeletal class system (which really doesn't even matter seeing as you can mix the abilities with another class anyway), but that's really all it has going for it.

Wargames is just a medley of different game modes, isn't it? How exactly does that innovate? Socom 1 had medley rooms. Granted, the game modes switched after each game, rather than during the game. But it's essentially the same concept.

Why do you assume that just because I dislike Killzone, I don't own it? If I didn't own it I would have no reason to say what I'm saying, now would I? I dislike the game based on personal experience with it. I'm not a fan of 3D Dot Game Heroes either. Does that mean I don't own that game suddenly either?

ExplosionSauce5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

I think KZ2 played different than other mainstream FPS games out there. It has a certain feel to it.

A game doesn't have to be completely innovative to be good; and KZ is good. There are a multitude of games out there that don't do anything innovative/new, yet they're great.

Very nice indeed. Killzone 3 is going to rock.

Now that was one boring video, the two of them? *Scoffs* Not anything we haven't seen since gaming hit 3D and put a gun in our hands.

yoghurt5026d ago

Even at pre-alpha stage, probably the best graphics I have seen so far on any console. This game is going to be huge.

doctorspakles5026d ago

Get over the pre-alpha business. Yes the game looks phenomenal, no it will not have noticeably major improvements in graphics as it passes through beta and beyond.

CrippleH5026d ago

That's what people said about Killzone 2 pre-alpha and they ate crow.

hassi945026d ago

@CrippleH

Yes but the engine was still in development then. They have developed and optimized the engine, they are just making the game (and that's why it's only taking 2 years).

lagoonalight5025d ago

Considering they are not using Quincunx anymore and that Guerrilla itself said they are making improvements across the board yes this game will look a lot better than it does now. Would you people stop acting like you are developing this game or that you have ever developed a game in your lives? Seriously, getting old hearing from teeny boppers what Guerrilla is going to do with their game in the next year.

Kleptic5025d ago

people said that about Uncharted 2 also...won't look much better than the first...which was already a top tier game visually this generation...

for me its not how much the visual fidelity will change...its just seeing what the engine can actually do...which imo is what made Uncharted 2 so incredible...having that engine tweaked enough to show new locales and bigger environments was what made it so unstoppable...

killzone 2's engine running jungles?...I'd like to see it, sooner rather than later... apparently we will will

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

1Victor342d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar342d ago

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

jznrpg342d ago

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

badz149342d 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!

Vengeance1138342d 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 Kim342d ago

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

VersusDMC342d 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?

Vengeance1138342d ago

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

solideagle342d 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.

Phoenix76342d 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

thesoftware730342d ago (Edited 342d 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.

blacktiger342d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca342d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal342d ago

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

Imalwaysright342d ago

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

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1093d 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.

Applejack1093d 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_B1093d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1093d 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.

1093d ago
Vegamyster1093d 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.

SinkingSage1093d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1093d ago (Edited 1093d 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 Kim1093d ago

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

MadLad1092d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1093d 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.

Magatsuhi1093d ago

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

Binarycode1093d ago

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1271d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
