all i know is this game is god among fps games, and i will have my hands on it in less then 3 days. gg

Playa79705956d ago

yes it is!! now heres to you complainers of the control system

NNNW5956d ago

they weren't kidding when they said that the control feel for SP and MP are different.

only tried skirmish so far (no online yet) and it is nothing short of awesome.

G-DOG5956d ago

1st off da game is great. playd demo and beta. MY CRY is dat please make sure, 4 da online multiplayer part of it at least, dat u have customizable button control scheme cus i hate all da available options GG has given and forced me 2 choose. They all suck. Thats da only thing dats stopping me from enjoying da game. Its a great game but without ur choice of button layout how can u enjoy da great gameplay dat it offers including da whole game itself. I can understand blocking it on da campaign but MP has 2 have or else. Yes im aware of of alternate 2. Hate it also. I love shooting wit R2. zoom/aim wit L2. stab/melee wit O. Crouch wit R3. Sprint wit L3. and so forth but there r no such options 2 do this and its ruining da experience. We r all different so y r we forced 2 play alike when were not. As an fyi i used da tactical flipped on call of duty which gave me dat configuration. On resistance 2 i love it cus it lets u customize da controls 4 da MP and SP and dat helped not ruin da experience. Please GG make sure this 1 small most important feature is in da final game its all i ask 4. Please hit agree if u want it. Thank U.

The Standard 1 controller layout works perfectly for me.

na2ru15955d ago (Edited 5955d ago )

you will be able to adapt - like real gamers. I also adapted to the slow response just like I did with Warhawk.
I agree Standard1 is great for SP at least if you plan to use the cover system.

Rofflecopter5955d ago

just use standard one or alternate 2, i invert, and i up the y sensitivity one and the x axis sensitivity by two. perfect controls.

doesnt matter cuz the games gonna b so good
cant w8
2 more days nigs

Bren865956d ago

So is the game not on dedicated servers?

Time_Is_On_My_Side5956d ago

Every online PlayStation 3 game is on dedicated servers, developers create the online just like computer game development.

Microsoft Xbox 3605956d ago (Edited 5956d ago )

A game this big? They should definitely count on dedicated servers. But idk.

Warbletot5956d ago

I just picked it up from EB games!!!!!!!!!!!
They left a message on my phone and I made a large detour on my way home from work to get it....excitement plus.
I saw a naked all female open mud wrestling competition on the way but nothing, I repeat, nothing was stopping me from getting to EB games before it closed.
Now I have to get the kids of to bed and neutralize the wife, and I'm good to go......It's going to be a long 3 hours.

DERKADER5956d ago

They clearly say that it is peer to peer and the servers on handle scores and stats. There goes the PS3 fanboys argument that all PS3 games have dedicated servers. But I can't wait to pick this one up.

Jager5955d ago

If the servers where all P2P, we wouldnt have to wait for them to "Turn" them on now wouldnt we eh? jackass...

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro236d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken236d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown236d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72236d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken236d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya235d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast236d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood236d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro465d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72465d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_465d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga465d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23465d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000465d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin465d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole465d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix465d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989465d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989465d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

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

1Victor769d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar769d ago

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

jznrpg769d ago

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

badz149769d 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!

Vengeance1138769d 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 Kim769d ago

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

VersusDMC769d 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?

Vengeance1138769d ago

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

solideagle769d 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.

Phoenix76769d 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

REDGUM769d ago

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

thesoftware730769d ago (Edited 769d 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.

blacktiger769d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca769d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy769d ago (Edited 769d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain769d ago

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

Imalwaysright769d ago

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