Sick of this fucking buggy german site.

[Fan Tastic]

Xbox360 games just like Atari 2600 games are judged on a different scale. An Atari 2600 or a 360 game rated a 10 don't equal a 10 on PS3 standards.

[-Alpha]

I agree K3 is a much more immersive looking MP game but what on earth does this even have to do with Halo??

I don't understand why you would compare them together at all. If anything Resistance is more comparable to Halo's style but even then they are two different games.

Come on, Halo is great for a reason. You talk solely about graphics but Halo isn't famous for that, it's famous for the features and gameplay that have made it so popular. Halo has always offered so much bang for buck when it comes to content and I agree wholeheartedly that graphics are its weakest aspect, but once again, that is not the determining factor of a game. There are things that lack in Killzone that need to be further implemented like a full theater mode, split-screen, co-op, etc. GG seems to have a lot of promise in the way of variety and content but there is no need to compare it to Halo whatsoever.

[jut420]

@ Alpha-Male22

I don't disagree with you, but I think he was comparing Killzone to Halo because according to many, Halo is the King of Online FPS. I think AtatakaiSamurai is just saying that Killzone should hold that crown. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got when reading his comment.

[-Alpha]

Why can't more than one game hold that crown? Is there only one GOTY every year?

There is no need to bring up Halo was my point, there is no relevance and no point in doing so, especially with how different the games are.

[Immortal321]

expect spawn grenades, engineer torrents, soldiers with light machine guns, grenades being thrown every 2 seconds, and air support.

yep that's killzone2 for you

[Tangostarr]

@Immortal321

They changed from the spawn grenades system. Now the tactician can see preset spawn points and capture them rather than throw spawn grenades anywhere.

[ShinMaster]

...Because Halo is not the standard in FPS.
I don't remember the last time it was. Maybe back in Halo 2, but that was last gen.

[jut420]

Honestly though Alpha, the games are not all that different. They are both Sci-Fi FPS's. I mean, since when is comparing two FPS out of context?

[pwnd_of_lol]

Gezzz the aiming still looks slugish to me...if that is not fixed...I'm one person that isnt even interested in the game. To bad...its an awsome game except for that dang slugish aiming.

[dark-hollow]

its good no need to change it
or you can't kill anybody without the SUPER AUTO AIM in cod games?

[BloodyNapkin]

Why does someone always have to bring up COD when talking about the unresponsive controls of Killzone. And yes Pwnd GG said they fixed the lag issues with this Killzone. So it should feel alot like BFBC 2, which are controls done right. A weighty feel but responsive.

How is this 4 mins of pure gameplay when the first minute doesn't show any footage of multiplayer at all. Looks good none the less.

[avengers1978]

aiming is more realistic in the KZ series then other shooters.
It looks like they upped the amount of points you get for everything, only means great things for me, huge points incoming for avengers1978.
The jet pack looks pretty balanced, and the mech looks pretty sweet.
Feb 22 can't get here fast enough.

[krisq]

watched different video because on this one aiming looks more twitchy than in KZ2. Besides, GG confirmed gazillion times that aiming is refined in KZ3.
On other note, game looks pretty insane IMO.

[fuckitimout]

the controls were and are delayed because of tech issues. Why do you keep ignoring this by regurgitating the the FALSE excuse of “...its part of the weight system” when it's been stated by GG and journalists themselves that the controls are a result of tech issues? The controls are NOT RESPONSIVE

[Gago]

if they fixed that then maybe i'd rent

[evrfighter]

looks like kz2 with jump jets...

that aside the controls still seem lazy.

[-Alpha]

Killzone's controls are not realistic. They feel weighty, but that doesn't make it realistic. If it was realistic then why does a pistol feel like it ways the same as a rocket launcher?

Realism isn't a concern for video games. GG knew they had a problem with the controls, and it was evident from the frustrating CQC that the slight delay was an annoyance. I think the patch they did in K2 fixed it. K2 had great controls after that patch. K3 looks a lot more faster.

Honestly, it was the amazing recoil and way the guns handled that made K2 feel so great, not the controls.

[Roonie]

look @ the microsoft fanboys in here....

"Looks like KZ2 with jump jets"

right yet I don't see this idiot saying the same thing on halo sequels, you know how halo 3 looks like halo 2.5 and you even got an expensive DLC called ODST with no graphical difference at all from halo3.

"The controls has deley because of tech issue".

Or maybe because your just a casual COD/HALO 12 years old that thinks if a shooter doesn't play like AUTO AIM WARFARE it's broken.

[talltony]

ITS CRAZY!

[LiLTich92]

and and and and, its still pre-alpha !!!!!

[DarkFantasy]

Yeah i will agree the controls and the weightiness need some improvements but its a great game i just played killzone 2 about a hour ago and its really fun it takes a while to get into it i think some people give up on it too fast you need to get your ranks up and go after the objectives and unlock the special ability's i never aim using the sights i always shoot from the hip unless the enemy is far away,alot of people still play killzone 2 most of the servers are unranked and there are not as many ranked servers as there is unranked but you can always find a ranked server with out a problem.There are some delays and too much weightiness with some guns and i waish aiming using the sights where better in killzone 2 BUT it dose not make the game unplayable at all,its really fun, more fun then most games i love how the objective is always changing it really keeps the game fresh,Oh by the way i Pre-ordered Killzone 3 on Saturday!! :)

[ThanatosDMC]

Holy crap! I didnt know they're adding the mechs in the multiplayer! Cant wait!!!

[Strange_Evil]

Looks chaotic.. Thats what I expect from a Killzone :)

[trounbyfire]

bullet fly much closer together so you kill faster and shooing will feel more accurate.

Kz2 and UC2 use powerful recoil in KZ2 your bullet fly all over a certain radius if you try to shoot even medium fire. in UC2 you gun goes up if you shoot medium or just hold it R1 down making it hard to shoot even close up.

KZ3 is going to be a beast and i wish them the bets because they are world class and great developers. I think KZ3 could be a 96 or higher metacritic. they improved everthing and add new multi player mode.

no a fan a match making with out list. I get put in matched with level 50+in UC2 and i am 15. so i hope we can choose which maps we want to play

[ELite_Ghost]

yea and it looks like u don't need as much bullets to kill someone XD

[nickjkl]

more accurate have you seen the accuracy in killzone 2 you can get kills from a distance with assault rifle if you burst fire

[plenty a tool]

although the controls are not brilliant in kz2, they do the job, and are very accurate.

i kick arse in that game, and can not wait for this baby.

also, here's a tip, get a xbattle adaptor and wired 360 pad to play this game.....truly great!!!

[avengers1978]

I like playing with higher ranked players, It helps to improve my own skill. Plus in games like KZ2 were i'm as highly ranked as you can get it's fun to go help out people that may not have everything unlocked yet. IMO it's better play a game with a mix of player skill. Those that are bad should not be forced to play with other bad players because they will never improve.

[DarkFantasy]

is your name the same as your psn ..i think i might have seen you playing :P

[avengers1978]

@DarkFantasy my psn ID is avengers1978...
hit me up, I'm always looking to get more friends that play KZ2.
I think I got room for a few more people on my list.

[DarkFantasy]

Sent you a friend request :P

[frankymv]

<<foams at the mouth>>

[Philoctetes]

It doesn't look like guys last too long in jetpacks.

[wicko]

Yeah I noticed that too, I couldn't tell what was killing them.

[avengers1978]

looked like they were landing on alot of grenades to me. I think that jetpack players skill is going to have alot to do with how good it is, but yes they did get killed alot.
for still being early the game looks amazing.

[wicko]

Yeah, you are probably right.

And I agree, this game does look amazing, I can't wait!

[bjornbear]

i think if you shoot from behind/ hit the jetpack fuel it blows up and you die

thats why they blew up =3

jetpack - good for a frontal assault, not so good for skirmish/defense

at least that what it seems

[HowarthsNJ]

...out of control when damaged just like in SP, but oh well. :-)

[ddurand1]

would have made for nice/funny cinematic kills.

[Immortal321]

he or she should never stay on the ground, that is where hell is.

[FunAndGun]

It could be because everyone targets the guy with the jetpack. If I saw some dude rockin a jetpack, my fire is going in his direction first! :)

The game looks insane, so much happening on screen. Very much looking forward to playing it.

[MGRogue2017]

Breathtaking! :O

[dark-hollow]

thats looks AWESOME!!!

[Bathyj]

How does Killzone make offscreen cam footage look so good?

[pixelsword]

It's not Killzone,

It's TEH CELL!

Yes, "teh" Cell.

:P

[bigboss911]

if you look at the top of the screen, it still says pre alpha code!!!!!

[Douwantit]

It's not really pre-alpha code at this point. I know it says that, cause if it was no way they could finish by February of next year. Also you do not demo pre-alpha code or even test for that matter. And for the people that want to disagree here is a link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[pixelsword]

I see what you're saying, but yes; it's most likely still pre-alpha according to your link. Before I say anything else about the matter, let's go from the word "beta" on back on the link you have provided (and great link, btw):

Beta:

It generally begins when the software is feature complete

Alpha:

In this phase, developers generally test the software using white box techniques. Additional validation is then performed using black box or gray box techniques, by another testing team. Moving to black box testing inside the organization is known as alpha release

so, if it's not "feature complete" and if they did not use any of (actually, all of) the "box techniques" then indeed it's still pre-alpha.

Since it's likely that neither one of us works at GG, and therefore cannot verify either stage, we'll have to take them at their word.

[gijsbrecht]

Yeah, it's indeed still pre alpha footage. Amazing really. I love the deep colors by the way. And that mech roaming the landscape looks quite menacing. Can't wait for the final version.

[mayberry]

you are so right about the MECH! when it came out, i think around the 2:30 mark, I seriously couldn't contain myself! It looked so menacing!

[bomboclaat_gamer]

i hope the controlls are not sluggish like part 2
cuz it was bad

it should be more responsive like halo

[hatchimatchi]

The controls were fine. You're just mad that you kept dying in mp.

[pixelsword]

No kidding, I owned in Killzone, and I usually am average in FPS. It's all in the effort you put into playing the game.

[fuckitimout]

controls were shit. And I was a good player

[deadman121]

every1 likes killcam :)

[N2G]

Yeah this is what i'm talking about baby,the fps all developers should follow.

btw why we PS+ members didn't get in this beta ?

[Chubear]

^^^THIS^^^ nuff said

[N4PS3Fanboys]

In a world where only graphics matter, maybe. But Reach has probably got the game beaten by a mile in every other department, if past games in these two series are anything to go by.

[DigitalRaptor]

Let's just agree that the games are just REALLY different.

If PS3 owners wanted a Halo they would buy a 360 for it.

[BABY-JEDI]

Remember -3 for 3D, by my calculations Edge will give Killzone 3D 97/10 LoL

Well maybe not LoL ; )

[Nodoze]

Seriously? Where are the new weapons? If all we have to pick from are the assault rifle, heavy MG, Sub MG, Shotgun, pistol and jet pack WTF has Guerrilla been doing? The levels do look good, but how about some weapon variety.

[pixelsword]

Why would they show everything off of the bat?

Besides, if they return the alternate-fire back to all weapons like they had it in the first Killzone, it'll add another dimension to the weapons.

[tudors]

I don't really see that this is any kind of threat to Halo Reach online, but then again I haven't played either one yet so who knows.

[AtatakaiSamurai]

you brought it up. perhaps something YOU feel but what i simply said is

i have played halo online and have played the pre-alpha demo builts of kz3 online and i'm saying just use that same standard used to rate halo reach for kz3 and if you do kz3 is beyond what halo gets in ratings.

halo reach sp campaign is very average. very mediocre voice acting, below average dialog and story presentation, average graphics, lighting, sound, very average particle effects etc theres nothing there that's a standout at all and the online is fun sure but hell section 8 online is fun too, so? you can give credit for certain features to help to elongate online experience with map editing and so forth but the gameplay is just like any fps we've been playing for half a decade now.

this imaginary magical uber fun that's supposed to be in halo and no other fps is total bs. i tell you this, UT3 is has far better gameplay than halo but no one on the 360 even touches this game compared to the numbers halo does

so what i'm saying is, if you feel that what halo is offering is a 10/10, if you use those same standards for kz3, i don't understand how it wouldn't be given an even higher rating than 10/10 and someone will have to tell me. logically, what halo is doing to get 10/10 (and not tell me about magical uber fun pulled from the air) that kz3 is not doing. Just show me

is there some halo online gameplay vid you can show me I've not seen that magically shows more viceral action fun than what's shown here for kz3?

[TheBand1t]

What the fuck does halo reach have to do with killzone 3?

Offtopic and just being a douchebag.

[tudors]

What are you going on about, I never said you said it was a threat, I said "I don't really see that this is any kind of threat to Halo Reach online, but then again I haven't played either one yet so who knows."

That's "I" as in me.

You said:

"no no, i'm going to say it and i don't care
we've seen a tonne of vids of halo reach gameplay and we've played it for ourselves. If halo reach online is looked at by reviewers as a 9 or 10/10 then this killzone mp footage is easily a 20/10"

So based on your opinion of KZ3 I simply replied with my opinion that I didn't see anything that makes me think that it is a threat to Halo Reach, if you do then more power to you, but don't try to change the context of my reply.

@TheBand1t:

If you are refering to me I only mnetioned it when it was mentioned, obviously if your comment was intended for someone else my appologies.

[TheBand1t]

no, it was meant for the TL;DR above me

[PSWarlord]

Is this still Pre-Alpha because I'm blown alway with the visuals that was uber-friggging-epic..Most importantly the gameplay and fluent mechanics seem to have vastly improved upon KZ2!Day 1 purchase for me (May have to be a midnight launch even)!This game is pretty much the only reason I will get a 3Dtv next year. Already preordered Move (Starter bundle and Nav controller) for friday Yessss christmas has come early for me.

[LiquifiedArt]

The mech walked by and that ground trooper was like "Oh crap!" and proceeds to back up.

[pixelsword]

As a fan of both Killzone and Halo, I have to say that Killzone 3's levels are very, very impressive. You can tell right off of the bat that the levels seem larger and the quality is still the graphics king in terms of things happening onscreen all at once, bar none. Crysis 2 will really have to impress because Killzone 2 and Halo: Reach are pretty much taking the FPS crowns in 2010 and 2011 from what I've seen.

I just hope you go into space in Killzone 3 like you did in the first Killzone. That final level was hecka-impressive for it's time.

[TooTall19]

This video was out last week...

[theone26]

The king of graphics has returned, I remember the days when KZ2's public beta footage literally pissed on every other single player titles at the time. I expect nothing short of that experience for this round. GG is on a mission to conquer.

[redDevil87]

i hope the LMGs are better in this game though

[Jsynn7]

What's that thing flying past the Mech at 2:26? Could that be a vehicle like the Banshee in Halo? That would be pretty awesome.

[Ravage27]

jet pack action looks lovely and put all my fears of imbalances to a rest.

[Adolph Fitler]

I agree totally samurai....Killzone 2 was easily a superior game in all areas to Halo 3 and ODST in my opinion...the graphics are still some of the best (along with Unchartered 2), and the game played different to most other shooters (as in the weighty feel of character movement - which also was a love it or hate it type thing.

This Killzone 3 footage though, just buries KZ2, and every other console shooter out there....even Crysis 2 is going to struggle graphics and performance wise compared to this (obviously using console versions only)..

[Adolph Fitler]

P.S. I would agree with you also about Unreal Samurai, but it has massive lag issues for 360 and PS3, unless you play yocals or host the game (which means every other poor sap has lag issues).

Nobody ever mentions this about Epic games.....but from Xbox 1's version of Unreal suffering the same issues, through to Gears on 360 and Unreal on all.....LAG is the archilles heel of Epic.

[N4OGs]

but they dont deserve crap untill they can do half of what killzone 3 or even 2 does.

This is how a fps should look in this day and age of this generation. Not like halo reach wich looks like xbox1 in HD. Im tired of the bull crap. You know halo dont deserve high scores when you look atsomething like killzone 2 and 3 or gears 2 or 3. Even multiplat cod looks better. I mean seriously you people need to stop praising this halo crap.

[MsmackyM]

The reviewers to a fault have to give games they know will sell good, a good review score. If they review the game giving it an average score and it sells really well, then the reviewer losses face. That being said I've enjoyed KZ1 and KZ2 and look forward to three. I don't need game reviewers to validate what I like.

[DethWish]

Isnt this alien ant farm? The world needs to hear them more often =)

[ddurand1]

got the video loading up in 1080 so i figured id comment.

before I even watch I know its going to be awesome. Ive never been excited for a game like this. Hopefully black ops can distract me for a few months when that comes out.

[Britney Spears]

looks fun and great. I am only worried about the recoil,i hope they didn't dumb it down.

[ddurand1]

they said they were trying to make it more acccessible. I hope that means they took a median like BFBC2 those controls were weighty and responsive.

[Kingdom Come]

I'm not going to lie for the sake of agree's and say it's "Incredible", because in my opinion it's not, there is nothing I haven't seen before other than the Graphics. This is not me saying the game is terrible, it is me saying the game looks good, but no the greatest. And why are people bringing Halo Reach into this?

[quarkist]

Ok, if someone says he is not impressed by the insane graphics and gameplay then he is either blind or need glasses!

[Mr Tretton]

Looking damn good.

[saoco]

looking better than KZ2 at last it doesnt take a full mag to kill someone.

[Mr Tretton]

It didn't take a full mag in KZ2. Come on now.

[achira]

most anticipaded game for me! cant wait.

[rbluetank]

i have a couple of concerns about this game. i hope they adjusted the height of the players gun. it always felt like you were aiming at everybody knees before you started shooting. i hope they added more weapons and special attachments to these weapons. i only seen two new weapons. i am still buying the game but this is my concerns so far.....

[tiamat5]

Sometimes i think people make these KZ2 control issues up. I played KZ2 in every difficulty and kicked @$$ on multiplayer. I have played many games with bad controls and they usually bogged me down and made the game difficult to play and Killzone 2 wasn't one of them.Gamers used to be able adapt to new or different controls schemes, now you just piss and moan about them.I once played Dock Dodgers for the Super Nintendo and it had some of the most awkward controls ever and I beat that game.Maybe you guys just suck at KZ2. Ever think of that?

[DAS692]

About the common FPS player, is the fact that they think every fps should have controls that have this "snap and lock" type aiming system, when in real life, its nothing like that. Guns HAVE WEIGHT! so when you move the gun left, the gun shouldn't stop within the same MILLISECOND that your stick does!

[gamestorecowgirl]

Looks great! I hope the rumors of splitscreen co-op are true. My dad and I are both but KZ2 fans and I'd love to go over to his place and play with him a bit.

[Vodoouking]

it is nice an evolution of k2 mp tho they should done a new hud
