Ratings:
The game did not do so good on the Reviews as people where expecting the game to do. IGN gave the game an 8.5 which in my opinion is BS the game deserve a better score. Gamespot also gave it an 8.5 those 2 websites are mainly the ones i visit for game reviews. Am not really happy with the reviews the game has gotten, but at the end is just their opinion and everyone has different taste in games.
Story:
The Killzone 3 story was a big let down for me, because it was predictable. One of the reasons is that you start out the game in the Helghast planet dressed up like a Helghast so that gives you a hint that in the game the 2 main characters are going to stay alive in the game. Another reason is that in the start your on a rescue mission to save Narville (Your Captain) that is about to get killed by you the Helghast Assassin and then you reveal your self to be Sev (Main Character) and the cut scene ends there. The story takes you back to the end of Killzone 2 that puts you in a evacuation mission to leave the planet, after completing your missions Rico (Your Partner) gets left behind and 6 months pass and you finally start the Killzone 3 story. Narville and Sev get capture by the Helghast and then Rico comes back and saves Sev, but Narville gets taken to the Helghan planet. The rest of the game is just Sev and Rico saving Narville and killing the bad guy. The ending leaves you with a chance that there is going to be a Killzone 4.
Gameplay:
Environments: Land, Snow, Forest, Space, Spaceships , Space Stations are just some of the incredible places where battles take place and to me that is more than enough.
Weapons: There are many weapons on this game from Shotgun Pistols to crazy Heavy Machine Guns if you played Killzone 2 you will be related to the controls of the game, but if you are a first time Killzone player trust me when i say that you are going to complain about how the weapons and controls work.
Movement: Like i mention before if you played any Killzone game you know that the movement is heavy and different from other FPS games. That is one thing that i love about Killzone the way you feel as your running and doing Melee attacks. The game gives you the feeling of you actually being there is what am trying to say.
Melee Attacks: The new Melee Attack system is awesome another thing i love in this game running up to an enemy and clicking the R3 button and sticking a knife in there chest or eyes is freaking amazing. In single player you gave environment Melee Attacks where you click the R3 and you kick of punch a Helghast into a wall and finish him off with a Knife to the neck or eye.
Graphics/Sound:
Graphics: The game has amazing graphics from the facial expressions to how the environments look everything is so detail. Sometimes while playing the game i actually felt like i was inside the game.
Sound: The ISA giving you orders of what to do next or the Helghast screaming "Frag" when ever you launch a grenade is fun to here them talk to each other and also giving orders between each other. Explosions and bullets all sound so real when you have a good surround system in your house.
Multiplayer:
Amazing multiplayer some people might say that is horrible compare to Killzone 2 and i say to those people shut up and go play something else if you don't like it. IMO this is the best Multiplayer FPS experience i have ever had other than the amazing Battlefield Bad Company.
Match Types: There are 3 different type of matches for the Multiplayer of Killzone 3 and those are Guerrilla Warfare which basically is Team Dead Match ISA vs Helghast. Warzone takes you trough 7 different objectives and the faction with the most wins at the end of the round wins the match. Operations is an Objective Only match. I enjoy playing Warzone the most because you get the feeling of playing Warfare and Operations.
Ranks: There are a total of 45 Ranks of Killzone 3 and is very hard to get to the top i my self am 14 at the moment. Killing people doing objectives and basically anything you do on Multiplayer gives you XP which is transferred into Ranks.
Class Unlocks: There are 5 different classes Engineer, Marksman, Tactician, Infiltrator, Field Medic each of these classes has it own good use and each are different to manage some might have the ability to revive team mates others capture Spawn Points most of them have different weapons. Is very fun to mix your gameplay with all the classes and unlocking new weapons and abilities as you Rank up.
Abilities: You unlock as you Rank up and some of them might be use full and some not like the Extra Ammo and Armor or Secondary Weapon the one that i think is lame is Silent Foot Steps, but some people might find that useful.
Clans/Squads: Make your team and play with the every where you go challenge other clans to see who is better and prove that you are the best creating a clan is easy keeping it is the hard part.
You see a friend playing killzone invite him into a squad and play a couple of rounds and help each other beat the opposite faction.
DLC:
There is only one DLC at the moment and is the Retro Map pack that offers 2 of the best maps from Killzone 2 all for the price of 4.99. I have the Maps, but i rarely use them.
Overall:
The game is incredible and if you missed buying it on release day the chance to enter one of the best FPS Experiences you will ever have is now. Graphics look amazing, Sound is Incredible, Environments look amazing, the New Melee Kills makes the game unique to other FPS, Story is not so good, but it still does not take much from the game, Multiplayer is amazing i can't stop playing am addicted. Overall Killzone 3 is one of the best games i have played and i don't regret spending 60+ Dollars on my purchase.
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
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!
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
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?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
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.
@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
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Terrible review, Firstly, three 10's and two 9's shouldn't overall result in a 9.0. Secondly, if the game doesn't recieve a perfect score, there must be nagatives, yet you've only listed "Ups". And finally whilst I very much believe in personal opinion, the game felt very much "Killzone 2.5" and is in no way deserving of such a high score, somewhere in the 7 or 8 boundry sounds about right.
Nope, there must be something wrong. Score is too low.
