hate that there will be no new operations maps
EDIT ooooh,i always wanted to write it...FIRST!now i can be like all those idiots^^

Tank_Commander_E65127d ago (Edited 5127d ago )

Why no operation maps GG?! Oh and those maps look beautiful. :' )

ZombieAssassin5127d ago

The short version is they aren't cost effective, at least that's what the devs say on killzone.com and the Official Playstation Forums, I just hope they realize how much people liked them and have more in the next Killzone.

bloodybutcher5127d ago (Edited 5127d ago )

very true,operations it is the only mode i really play...guerilla warfare is not for me and warzone is just not the same anymore.i dont know why,i loved warzone in kz2.

ZombieAssassin5127d ago

Same here Warzone just had something special in Kz2, could be because every single map supported it.

captain-obvious5127d ago

i hope they release some GOTY edition or something with all the DLC in it

Consider me sold

Edit: A bit disappointed that they are exclusive to specific modes. And the fact that we won't receive any new operations maps

StarWolf5127d ago (Edited 5127d ago )

finally they include something more than 2 maps. Im considering checking this out, even though i stopped playing this game months ago

thugbob5127d ago

I stopped playing the game months ago too. XD

I heard Radec and My favorite map THARSIS from KZ2 will be in this DLC so I am definitely checking this out.

Knushwood Butt5127d ago

Nice.

Just wish I could get a game on the Blood Gracht map that I paid for as nobody seems to play on it.

ZombieAssassin5127d ago (Edited 5127d ago )

Try setting your preffered map to it that's what I do, only problem is I think you'll play it over and over again...at least that's how it is for me it never seems to switch or even have a vote when I do that.

Knushwood Butt5127d ago

Thanks. Yeah, that is what I do. Blood Gracht is my preferred map for G Warfare, but recently it just can't seem to find a game. I don't think people are playing it in my region.

I don't have any problems jumping into Warzone games though.

SmokeyMcBear5127d ago

well zombie, they fixed that glitch in the last update. I actually play it a lot when its voted for at the end of map. Often times when playing a 10 map cycle, blood gracht will get voted on at least 3 times.

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!

Chocoburger208d 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

badz149783d 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.

blacktiger783d 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_Alucard1534d ago (Edited 1534d 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.

AzubuFrost1534d ago

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

RevXM1534d ago

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

Omar3li1534d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
