1UP: Killzone 3: Where You Learn About The Secret Lives Of Helghasts...In 3D

1UP: "Killzone 3's managing director Herman Hulst exhales relief and plops into a deep couch. For the past 15-minutes, Hulst and Sony publicists huddled over an unresponsive plastic gun called the Sharp Shooter -- the latest PlayStation Move peripheral. The crack team disassembled, reassembled and calibrated the device. Then did it again. Finally, something clicked -- what, seemed unclear. But the pay-off was worth the wait as patient stander-bys took their turn blasting away Helghasts like tin targets in the world's most elaborate shooting range.:

Cyrus3654876d ago

Good Interview/Preview, Killzone looking even better? That's crazy... Clearly PS3 has the best looking exclusives...

M-Easy4876d ago

1 of the 3 games of the year in Sony's Holy Trinity of games next year.

Cyrus3654876d ago (Edited 4876d ago )

I'd say it's more than just 3...If they hit their release dates:

Killzone 3
LPB 2
Infamous 2
Resistance 3
Uncharted 3
The Last Guardian (Although I can see this as delayed to early 2012).
Twisted Metal

blusoops4876d ago (Edited 4876d ago )

Also Infamous 2
Motorstorm 3
Socom 4

BTW: I don't know if this was confirmed before but....

Split screen co-op has just been confirmed!!

Cyrus3654876d ago

Whoops your right, Forgot a couple...

Bathyj4876d ago

I wouldnt be able to pick only 3 games from Sony next year.

The Last Guardian
ICO/SotC
Killzone 3
Uncharted 3
LBP 2
inFamous 2
Motorstorm 3
Resistance 3
are ALL must have/day 1 games in my book.

Cyrus3654876d ago

FINALLY, this is something I really want. I'm surprised they didn't opt for 60FPS (since 3D needs to split both resolution and frames) in non-3D mode. Maybe they've used the extra power for graphics.

-End of Line

Finalfantasykid4875d ago

I don't care for the 60fps, but I would like a more stable 30fps than KZ2. GG did a great job hiding the frame drops with all of it's post processing effects, but it would be great for gameplay reasons to have a more constant framerate.

KwietStorm_BLM4875d ago

You don't care for 60fps? How can you "not care" for 60fps? I've never heard that before.

Bathyj4875d ago

I think he's sayin he'd prefer a rock solid 30fps then a unstable 60, and I agree.

Resistance 1 is one of the smoothest framerates on a console fps and its only 30fps.

Plus,just like going to 1080p, going to 60fps can mean compromises in other areas, ei, less graphic effects.

Koolno4875d ago

If you have played the beta, you should know that the game is more speed, responsive than ever...and it's really smooth.

but KZ2 was good enough, no problem.

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

1Victor346d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar346d ago

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

jznrpg346d ago

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

badz149345d 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!

Vengeance1138346d 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 Kim346d ago

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

VersusDMC346d 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?

Vengeance1138346d ago

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

solideagle346d 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.

Phoenix76346d 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

REDGUM346d ago

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

thesoftware730346d ago (Edited 346d 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.

blacktiger346d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca346d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal346d ago

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

Imalwaysright346d ago

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

bouzebbal1097d ago

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

MadLad1097d 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.

Applejack1097d 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_B1097d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1097d 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.

1097d ago
Vegamyster1097d 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.

SinkingSage1097d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1096d ago (Edited 1096d 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.

AzubuFrost1097d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1097d ago

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

MadLad1096d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1097d 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.

Magatsuhi1097d ago

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

Binarycode1097d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1096d ago

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.

Knightofelemia1275d ago

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_vulgaris1274d 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.
