G4 Preview: Killzone 3 Multiplayer Hands-On

G4 writes... "One of Guerilla’s main priorities was creating a more accessible multiplayer experience for Killzone 3. As the game’s lead multiplayer designer Martin Connor explained, it’s about making the game enjoyable for players of all skill and experience levels. The matchmaking system, which was built from scratch, is just one of the ways Guerilla has made Killzone 3 multiplayer more streamlined, as players no longer have to scroll through server lists to find a game to join."

Cevapi885430d ago

"Guerilla also showed off two of the new game modes entering the fray in Killzone 3. Operations is a more narrative mode that includes side-specific cutscenes, in which players will see their names appear above the characters’ heads, and a more narrative driven multiplayer experience. Guerilla Warfare is the much requested Killzone 3 version of team deathmatch."

"Operations was the standout though. The match we played was broken down into three section, each with a different objective that needed to be completed in the allotted time. Increasing the cinematic and story-based design of Operations are large-scale world events that may or may not be controlled by players."

now this is something to get excited about

Domer255430d ago

Let me make this easy for all of us-----------BUY IT.

seriously just buy it.

captain-obvious5430d ago

this reminds me of RUSH in BFBC2
and i really like RUSH

day one

Phantom_Slippers5430d ago

i Actually cant wait for this game to come out, ive been screaming better melee system and they have delivered, now im not expecting this to be game of the year because games that come out early in the year always get forgoten like for example last years GOTY awards... mw2 beat out killzone 2 which in my opinion is stupid because mw2 is completely unbalanced and killstreaks doesnt make you beastly...but also recieved how many patches after release date? like 8? now 9 cause people exposed a glitch to get free games on xbox live arcade market. how many times did killzone 2 get patches? 2 times and thats how you know you built a game right and its completely balanced out and not fan serviced...

Charazani5430d ago

This is the second time I've read the line...
"Another big addition that came out our player feedback from Killzone 2 is the new career system. There are five class, six weapons and six abilities per class, and now, players can choose how they want to upgrade their weapons and abilities with the skill points their earn during multiplayer."

Are they confirming 30 weapons for multiplayer? Or is that a mistake.

DanyBrown5430d ago

sounds like it but how could they pack so much awesome in one game???

heroprotagonist5430d ago

some of the weapons from each class are probably the same. But it definitely sounds like there will be more weapons.

Biggest5430d ago

I'm glad. That was the one thing I complained about in Killzone 2. The lame trooper was the only one able to use multiple weapon types. Maybe they'll make it like MAG in that you can only have so many points for allotment. That would make for more balanced load-outs.

writersblock5430d ago

Im gussing a few weapons will be on all classes like the M4 type main ISA rifle and the STA-52, same with pistols

But thats still 22 different guns

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

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
