as much as i love this game which i do since yesterday i can play 5 mins online then get booted saying connection error 8013 on top of that i cannot sync my trophys or compare them is any1 else having the same issues ???

RowSand4806d ago

make sure nobody at your house downloading stuff.. or your neighbor

rdgneoz34806d ago

The whole time I've been playing it, I've yet to get any connection issues. Seeing as you're having trophy syncing issues and such, its probably a whole other problem besides just KZ3. Might want to see about your internet connection / ports / DMZing your PS3 to fix your problems.

beavis4play4806d ago

i had quite a few connection issues in the public beta - but none since the games launch.

Fallouts4806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

i been playing this game and dead space. both great games but i dont know seems like dead space has better grahpics imo. i just wasnt wowed with kz3 when i put it in, sometimes those jaggies just hurt it bad.

oh no one agrees... dah well the 30 min i played of kz3 is great so far better than kz2!

rdgneoz34806d ago

I've been playing DS2 MP as well as KZ3, and if you go through all the maps for each, you'll definitely see KZ3 wowing a lot more. Love the snow levels.

Fallouts4806d ago

maybe... i havnt played mp for either games maybe im just bugin, but damn atm every time i think about kz3 i see jaggies..

kz2 has great graphics but a great amount of jaggies too

cochise3134806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

I'm alomst to the end of this game, and whoever gives this under a 9 is biased. This game is epic. With the sharpshooter, it makes this a brand new experience. The scale is just massive. I'm surprised Rico is less of a douche this time around.

PirateThom4806d ago

I'd say 8.5 is a fair score, adore the game, love it, but I have a major issue with it.

There's online.
There's co-op.
There's no online co-op.

It's BEGGING for it, people were begging Guerilla for it since Killzone 2... I just can't understand why they left this out.

Not that the rest of the game isn't great (online just needs a few connection tweaks), but they really have exceeded KZ2 in every way possible.

cochise3134806d ago

Well maybe they can fix all that with a patch, but tbh I think the game is worth 60 on just the campaign alone.

rdgneoz34806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

There was an article about GG saying they felt co-op felt better with a friend sitting beside you and not online, as well as the resources going to maintain the co-op servers being put to better use for MP.

Edit: Also, people begged for co-op in general, and many doubted that the PS3 could even handle it. We did get co-op this time, though maybe online co-op will get patched in later on.

SwampCroc4806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

I would say this is a good score. I give it personally a 8.5 to 9.0... I think it is a solid game...

I'm almost done with the trophies.. I'm at like 84%..

I like the multiplayer.. I wish the cover system was in it... but it's still ok..

I did have a few of the connection errors like the guy mentioned above... but it hasn't happened since like day 2 of the game.

I think co-op isn't online... because there are 2 hidden trophies for co-op play... it kind of forces you to play with a friend if you are trophy hunting... so I think it is cool.. it gives you a reason to call a friend.. which is what I did... but other than that I think an online co-op would work just as fine.

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

1Victor353d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar353d ago

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

jznrpg353d ago

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

badz149352d 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!

Vengeance1138353d 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 Kim353d ago

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

VersusDMC353d 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?

Vengeance1138353d ago

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

solideagle353d 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.

Phoenix76353d 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

REDGUM352d ago

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

thesoftware730353d ago (Edited 353d 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.

blacktiger352d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca353d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal353d ago

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

Imalwaysright353d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

bouzebbal1104d ago

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

MadLad1104d 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.

Applejack1104d 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_B1104d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1104d 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.

Vegamyster1104d 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.

SinkingSage1104d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1103d ago (Edited 1103d 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.

AzubuFrost1104d ago

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

Shane Kim1104d ago

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

MadLad1103d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1104d 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

RevXM1104d ago

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1104d ago

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

Binarycode1104d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1103d 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.

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_vulgaris1281d 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.
