What I'm scared of is hard drawn out boss fights to get to them.

Seriously, if I have to face the last fight of Killzone 2 (the waves just before Raedac and Raedac himself [sorry for the misspelling]) with both of those Helghan generals, I will get awfully depressed and will most likely go through a couple of controllers.

I found that last fight to be frigin impossible on the hardest difficulty.

Calm Down Sunshine4852d ago

I agree, I fought through the game on the hardest difficulty, then hit that wall of a boss fight at the end..

So many enemies... So few walls... Rocket launchers, flame throwers... It was all a bit too much.

Still, it made finally beating him that much better.

awesomeperson4852d ago

I never got to beat it on the hardest :'(

The rocket launchers were ridiculous it was like 1 hit and bam your dead, considering how many of them poured out, the must've had an army behind those doors o.O

sry dbl post read below.

pr0digyZA4852d ago

When rocket guys came out i hid by the stairs so that they couldn't aim, then shot people who were on the ground floor. When they are all gone I slowly went up with the sniper and took out the rocket guys one at a time. But yes even then it took around 15 tries.

awesomeperson4852d ago

@pro

Wish I had thought of that strategy XD

Inside_out4852d ago

If the game is 12-15 hours long, then maybe, but if the game is 6-8 hours long ( norm these days ) then it's a bit to much IMO.

A good story always helps any game so it will come down to how it's done. Games are/were meant to be played and be inner active...not watched. Regardless, I still think killing off Visari was a big mistake especially judging by the KZ3 story trailer...the new guys remind me of something you would see in a Batman game...take a look...

Vasari is the type of villain that should never die...this CGI intro is a classic, far better looking than the new one...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

With only a few more weeks till launch I was hoping to see some of the jungle and space missions??? Either way, it's going to be an interesting couple of months with 3 big games dropping at the same time...

Bulletstorm...

Crysis 2 is looking EPIC...

Orange4851d ago

@Cez of rage: the article says "The game according to the BBFC contains at least 1:10 of cinematics." I took that to mean they rated the length of the game to be about 700 minutes, or about 12 hrs. I'm conjecturing, though.

dkblackhawk504852d ago

70 minutes?! I think this tops Uncharted,,,

Jester4852d ago

If i remember correctly uncharted 2 had 90 minutes. but still this is quite alot similar to what uncharted 1 had, unless thats what you meant then 100% disregard my post lol.

CovertGunman4852d ago

Hmm, not bad. I guess it's not as bad as MGS4, so that's good.

MariaHelFutura4852d ago

MGS4 was the best game and movie of 2008.

49erguy4852d ago

you mean not as good as MGS4. Storywise (not comparing genres)

karl4852d ago

this is going to be awesome..

but could this be a long campaign ? maybe 15 hours?

it would be cool if it wasnt the usual 8 hours.. xD

Mr Tretton4852d ago (Edited 4852d ago )

well the KZ2 was 5-6. Really you could do it in four.

Betting this one might be 6-7

Games are never as long as they say

Anti-Fanboyer4852d ago

It's been confirmed in an interview 8-10 hours.

RevXM4852d ago

@Mr Tretton
Never.
And some guy played trough Halo 2 in like 2 hours.

I guess I spent like 8-9 hours through Killzone 2.
Mgs4 first playthrough 24 hours.
If I run through it Ill complete mgs 4 in 12 hours easy.
But I rather look around take the time and find shit. :p

CovertGunman4852d ago

Sorry guys, what I was trying to say is that the cutscenes won't be quite as long as the ones in MGS4. Don't get me wrong, MGS4 was a brilliant game with an awesome story, but for some people it seemed like the cutscenes took you out of the action and it became too long between actual gameplay moments.

Wow that gun looks awesome looks like he sneaking up on someone...on another note can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy good bye life hello kz3 :D.

MariaHelFutura4852d ago

He`s going to go make some toast. He looks hungry.

AKA4852d ago

nice
i hope we can wach those 70min
many more times after the game is done (kind of like a movie)
i dont understand why we can't wach all the cut scenes non stop in most of the games.

It will be like a gift for finishing the game and add a replay video value

awesomeperson4852d ago

I know, I wish there was some sort of option to watch all the cutscenes again, or a short movie style recap of the game with all its highlights...

I know Uncharted 2 let you watch all the cutscenes as you went through them on the main menu.

Nicaragua4852d ago

God of war Trilogy on PS3 had that feature too

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

1Victor352d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar352d ago

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

jznrpg352d 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!

Vengeance1138352d 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 Kim352d ago

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

VersusDMC352d 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?

Vengeance1138352d ago

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

solideagle352d 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.

Phoenix76352d 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

thesoftware730352d ago (Edited 352d 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

talocaca352d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal352d ago

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

Imalwaysright352d 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

MadLad1103d 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.

Applejack1103d 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_B1103d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1103d 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.

1103d ago
Vegamyster1103d 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.

SinkingSage1103d 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.

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

Shane Kim1103d ago

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

MadLad1102d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1103d 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.

Magatsuhi1103d ago

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

Binarycode1103d 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_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.
