How Killzone 3 Can Revive FPS on Playstation 3

SegmentNext - "We Knew Killzone 2 and Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare would soon bite the dust because, well putting it informally, they’d become old and ‘overplayed’; and sad to say, that’s exactly what has happened.

All hope was on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and future games to keep the multiplayer-mania alive. We dare say that Modern Warfare 2 did a great job for the PS3, with many regular online players and followers, but regretfully it fell into wrong hands, and became plagued by hackers and their shady practices which ultimately ruined the game.".

I always thought in my opinion that Resistance games are better than the Killzone games in terms of story, atmosphere, unique weapons(secondary fire, too bad KZ2-3 didn't have it) etc. excluding graphics and characters(I haven't seen anyone on the Resistance series that can even compare to Visari).

DoomeDx5244d ago

I agree about story and weapons. But atmosphere?
Killzone is not supposed to heave unique weapons. they want it to be realistic.

Killzone 2 does have a better multiplayer though (Compared to R2)

NukaCola5244d ago

Killzone is the gritty tatical shooter.
Resistance is the Halo-like alien war game.

I personally like KZ more, but only slightly.
KZ2 was better than KZ
R1 was better than R2

I hope that R3 pwns. They really have stepped up in the graphics, and gameplay big time by bringing back the wheel and improving the overall game.

SnakeMustDie5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

I think atmosphere and gameplay for both games can be a preference. I prefer the "no-hope" like alien invasion feel of Resistance compared to Killzone's semi-realistic gritty warzone.

For the weapons, KZ1 had secondary fire on some weapons. Why remove it from the sequels?

TurismoGTR5244d ago

This is what i'm talking about.. the gaming journalism knows absolutely nothing about gaming!!

FPS has been fine since... ever.

Objective5243d ago

Depends on what you mean by fine. If the comparison is made against 360/ pc, FPS on PS3 is probably lagging behind.

FanboyPunisher5243d ago

I always found resistance to be one of the crappy shooters this gen. Killzone is FAR better in almost all possible ways.

hay5244d ago

Revive? Last time I heard it's doing great.

jukins5243d ago

lol fps were dead on ps3?

madjedi5243d ago

Well yeah if your only talking about call of duty, maybe someone should tell him there are other fps games to play besides just cod.

"We Knew Killzone 2 and Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare would soon bite the dust because, well putting it informally, they’d become old and ‘overplayed’; and sad to say, that’s exactly what has happened."

Old and overplayed i think that describes the entire lineup of cod games perfectly. You know the 1 thing call of duty doesn't share in common with every other major fps series released now. Every other game is either using a brand new engine or upgraded their engine and is wiping it's ass with cod's obsolete engine.

For the top selling fps series, cod should be schooling, multiplatform devs and 1st party devs on both consoles. Not being driven around in a short bus that is constantly breaking down with each new release.

Call of duty has impressed me with one thing though, it's amazing that developers can make a fps game, as full of bugs as a massive open world game like oblivion or fallout 3.

Megaton5243d ago

So now that I guess "PS3/BluRay is dead" articles are going out of fashion, certain genres are in need of "saving". Bad journalism refuses to die.

OhReginald5243d ago

okay I understand the ps2 didn't have a great first person exclusive shooter library. Thats why they brought killzone. But for ps3 times have changed. Killzone 2 and 3 and Resistance series are pushing other developers in terms of gameplay and graphics.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic217d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23217d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger207d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

1Victor783d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar783d ago

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

jznrpg783d ago

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

badz149782d 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!

Vengeance1138783d 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 Kim783d ago

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

VersusDMC783d 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?

Vengeance1138783d ago

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

solideagle783d 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.

Phoenix76783d 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

REDGUM783d ago

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

thesoftware730783d ago (Edited 783d 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.

blacktiger782d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca783d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain783d ago

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

Imalwaysright783d ago

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

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

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

MadLad1534d 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.

Applejack1534d 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_B1534d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1534d 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.

1534d ago
Vegamyster1534d 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.

SinkingSage1534d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1533d ago (Edited 1533d 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 Kim1534d ago

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

MadLad1533d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1534d 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.

Magatsuhi1534d ago

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

Binarycode1534d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1533d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
