i asked them for the code at twitter thats how you get the code right?

frankymv4939d ago

No, you need to be a PSN+ subscriber and be one of the first 5k to have downloaded the KZ3 theme on the 19th.

-Alpha4939d ago

*fingers crossed*

Good luck everyone!

Red_Orange_Juice4939d ago

waiting for mine :)))))))
see you lucky ones in the beta

deafwing4939d ago

the theme must have reached 5k dl's within 10 mins .. the UK had a comparable approach to getting the beta and they offered 10,000 Keys - it took less than 15 mins.

jjacinto234939d ago

Now downloading................... ..

Deputydon4939d ago

Are they sending them to EU first, then to US? I had my theme download as soon as it went up. It didn't even have a single rating yet, but I haven't got a code.

tacosRcool4939d ago

I want to play but not a plus subscriber...

so why are you commenting here? lol, I love liars

deafwing4939d ago (Edited 4939d ago )

his point is not the beta itself
you are paying for PSN+
and it is the only way to get the beta
his reasoning is that because you are doing so
the beta is not free ...
you could say yes/no here .. it's really up to you

DirtyLary4939d ago (Edited 4939d ago )

I can see by my disagrees there are quite a few of you who bought your way into the beta.

It's just another example of the sad state gaming is in these days.

Paid betas
paid DLC (disc locked content)

feel free to add to the list

maxcer4939d ago

the funny thing is lots of publishers are jumping on this paid beta scam lately with preorder incentives, and access to betas after buying a full game.

raztad4939d ago

I paid a PSN+ 3 months subscription. For this and AC:Brotherhood.

I paid to gain access to an early preview of the game. I'll be reporting bugs if found any, but I want to be in for the fun.

I almost never get into any beta so I dont mind to "waste" some bucks in one of my fav franchises. People out there pay for being able to play online, at least we are talking about actual content here.

BulletProofVess4939d ago

thats like attacking xbox live users
for paying to play online or paying to access netflix a service they already pay for

& additionally plus isnt the only way to get into the beta

plenty were invited for activity on fourms and previous betas

also they have held twitter giveaways

Lifendz4939d ago (Edited 4939d ago )

Why do so many of you care what I do with my money? First off, the KZ3 beta was a major reason why I got Plus but it wasn't the only reason. I've been wanting to check out Plus for the longest and I now had a good reason.

Second, I hope you're not a 360 fanboy trying to poke fun at the idea of paying for a beta. MS charges a mandatory fee just to play the online portion of a game. Now which of the two is worse: an option fee to play a beta or a mandatory fee just to get in a multiplayer match? Not to mention certain apps like Netflix requiring XBL gold membership when neither the PS3 or the Wii require any additional fee other than a Netflix membership.

Heck, I know people that bought ODST just to guarantee a spot in the Reach beta. MS did the same thing with Crackdown and Halo 3. Is that different from what Sony is doing here? It's a copycat business. Attaching a highly coveted item (like a beta to a major IP) to something like a new service or IP is just smart from a business standpoint. No one has a gun to your head either way.

WildArmed4939d ago (Edited 4939d ago )

Yes, because PS+ only gets you into beta and nothing else.

Great logic :D

Hyperbole - pronounced(hye-PUR-bə-lee)
Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. An example of hyperbole is: "The bag weighed a ton".[2] Hyperbole helps to make the point that the bag was very heavy although it is not probable that it would actually weigh a ton.

"I'll sacrifice my first born to you Satan for a beta invite." not probable that he would actually do this, but he used an extreme situation, to make the point he wants a beta invite!

*nb Longrod used a capital for Satan, which surprised me, not many people use capital letters for names anymore! =P*

well i aint been sent shit. every psn+ subscriber should get one.

maxcer4939d ago

this is true, as i imagine the test will mostly be to stress the servers. but i would worry too much im sure they will add a few thousand people after the first week or so.

jjank114939d ago

yea, I have the same sentiments but also believe they will have an open public beta soon (OR at least I really hope so). I'm pretty sure i'm not going to get an invite since I was busy the whole night and could only d/l the theme in the morning.

zeddy4939d ago

got one in the end, downloading now quite small actually only 1360 mb.

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

1Victor360d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar360d ago

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

jznrpg360d ago

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

badz149360d 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!

Vengeance1138360d 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 Kim360d ago

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

VersusDMC360d 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?

Vengeance1138360d ago

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

solideagle360d 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.

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.

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

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

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

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

MadLad1111d 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.

Applejack1111d 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_B1111d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1111d 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.

1111d ago
Vegamyster1111d 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.

SinkingSage1111d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1111d ago (Edited 1111d 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.

MadLad1110d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1111d 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

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.

Knightofelemia1289d 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_vulgaris1289d 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.
