Killzone 3 Review - Millenium

Millenium writes : "Killzone 3 would have surely earned the rating of 9/10 only if its story had not been so sloppy and if its solo campaign extended. Despite this serious concern, the game, as beautiful as it is, once again raises the level and propels Killzone among the most beautiful games on the PS3."

I must really be in a minority, because I really didn't think that the story/campaign was that bad. I really enjoyed it.

Chubear4790d ago (Edited 4790d ago )

When you see something, anything (especially a lie) said over and over and over again, even those with strong minds may start to believe it. It's a weird thing our minds are somehow weak with and is used in politics a lot for that reason.

For instance, I would bet you actually thought the campaign was rocking hot (except maybe for the abrupt ending) but after seeing the same negatives said about the SP even you will say "... it wasn't 'that bad'.. " implying it was indeed bad but not as bad as people make it out to be.

Mission accomplished.

CaptainGreece4790d ago

I meant to agree. You are 100% correct.

callahan094790d ago

I agree. I thought Killzone 3's campaign was phenomenal. I loved how it interspersed cutscenes all through out, and most of them were very entertaining from a machismo/action perspective or from a cool political intrigue perspective. The levels were awesome, the variety was awesome, the pacing was awesome. I thought it ended way too abruptly and kind of out of nowhere, but every single moment of it was amazing for me.

redsquad4790d ago

It wasn't bad - It was a SIMPLE story granted, but not 'bad' in any way, shape or form - But the internet is a curious beast... Simply posting something on this digital wonder automatically gives that statement 'weight', gravitas and legitimacy.
If two or more people say the same thing it becomes "most people", and Facebook 'friends' suddenly become "the majority".

Istanbull4790d ago

I really enjoyed Killzone 3 campaign, only if they didnt kill every single badass!

Visari, Radec etc...

TheBlackSmoke4790d ago

Halo Reach review : story sucks, short and sloppy. Multiplayer is the same shit but with jetpacks - 9/10

Kon4790d ago

Halo is one of the biggest names in FPS history. It deserves every high score.

Istanbull4790d ago

No Kon, you're rtarded. Halo is the same since Halo 2, nothing new, boring story line, same old boring gameplay. Meh

Dread4790d ago

sorry sir, but I have played both games extensively and Halo Reach is at another level. Reach is the real deal regarding gameplay, story and multiplayer. KZ3 has the graphics, the rest is lackluster at best.

Heavy_Rain4790d ago (Edited 4790d ago )

Lets not get Reach into this. You will see ignorance like Dread stating that KZ3 has only graphics. Do you know what visceral combat even means? Do you know what first person immersion even means? You must be deluded to think that KZ3 is only about graphics. Every bullet every gun every mellee feels so immersive. Its gameplay is phenomenal if you played it that is. Multiplayer is subjective. Maybe Reach has better multi maybe not but to say KZ3 is all about graphics is absurd!

Dread4789d ago

@heavy rain

I am ignorant because i do did not think KZ3 has better gameplay than Reach.

wow.

I have played both, own both and stand by my opinion, and just because you disagree with me i do not think u r ignorant..disrespecfull yes, but ignorant i just do not have enough info to reach that conclusion.

peace

ceedubya94790d ago

I actually liked the Reach. But this is about Killzone and not about Reach, so why even bring it up.

Ducky4790d ago

A game you like gets a score you don't like so you bash another game.
Typical rage response. =)

disturbing_flame4790d ago

This review is from the millenium zine.
Millenium is a professional gamers team who practice a lot of e-sport and have a good background of practicing at an international level.

They gave an 8 to Dead Space 2 and now an 8 to Killzone 3, i think for them it is a pretty good note.
I found the review accurate.

The pb with US reviews is that when a game got even a 9 it can be consider as an average game sometimes, a game that have an 8 can't be considered as a great game, i think zines must reevaluate the way they review games, it is becoming a joke.

TheDivine4790d ago

I Acually loved reach's story. If kz3 had all the content that one dvd has it would get 10s across the board. I acually like kz3 online more than reach but it needs something like firefight and more maps maybe a map editor for dlc? Both games wre great but reach had far more content, polish, and it was the most epic ending of bungies baby. Kz3 needs new dlc modes and why are there no collectibles? Oh well im a sucker for kz and cant wait for the new maps. Id love a remastered kz 1 for the ps store myself. Had fun with that on ps2.

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

1Victor351d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar351d ago

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

jznrpg350d ago

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

badz149350d 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!

Vengeance1138351d 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 Kim351d ago

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

VersusDMC351d 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?

Vengeance1138351d ago

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

solideagle351d 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.

Phoenix76350d 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

thesoftware730351d ago (Edited 351d 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.

blacktiger350d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca351d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal350d ago

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

Imalwaysright350d 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

MadLad1101d 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.

Applejack1101d 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_B1101d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1101d 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.

1101d ago
Vegamyster1101d 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.

SinkingSage1101d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1101d ago (Edited 1101d 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 Kim1101d ago

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

MadLad1101d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1101d 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.

Magatsuhi1101d ago

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

Binarycode1101d 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_vulgaris1279d 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.
