Get into the Killzone 3 Beta via IGN

The Killzone 3 beta is up and running, but if you're not in it -- it was only open to the first 10,000 PlayStation Plus members who downloaded the Killzone 3 beta theme -- you might think that you're screwed.

Luckily, you know IGN.

Yes, we have Killzone 3 beta codes, and we're giving them away with week in a number of amazing ways. Using IGN's Twitter, IGN Executive Editor Greg Miller's My IGN page and IGN's official PlayStation show Podcast Beyond, we're handing out your super-exclusive way into the big dance -- and we're doing it Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

It was 10k in EU & 5k in US
And btw Im so happy because:

writersblock5355d ago

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I wish I was in the beta :(

deafwing5355d ago (Edited 5355d ago )

dang show off

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu lolz

nah it's all good ... tells us what you think about the demo so far?

There were some great early vids by invidious over at yTube http://www.youtube.com/user... of the demo but of course more user feedback is best.

tacosRcool5354d ago

You lucky dude and I hate you because you can play the beta!

Looks like I'll be having my PS3 on all day on the 27th waiting to enter in a code. I hope I'm fast enough.

MariaHelFutura5355d ago (Edited 5355d ago )

On topic: I want in.

Off Topic: I just randomly got sent the LBP2 private beta in my email. I just played it and it rules. It is soooooo much better than the first. The space level is INSANE (story level).

trancefreak5355d ago

I refuse to jump threw hoops to get a code. Ive been a ps owner since 1995 and im a playstation + member. If thats not good enough sony has their sh1t to straighten out.

Hideo_Kojima5355d ago

How would they know you are a PS owner since 1995?

If your too lazy to jump threw hoops you will probably be too lazy to jump threw hoops to post bug reports.

Posting a bug report will take longer than getting a code threw IGN.

shqype5354d ago

And how about all of the others in the same boat as you? Sony cannot please everybody. Unfortunately, some people won't get into the beta. Stop thinking Sony owes you something, because it doesn't.

thematrix12985354d ago

Isn't the point of beta is to give customers chance to try the product? At least thats what we do in IBM, I hate how you have to be lucky to try out beta.

WHY does IGN give these out via Twitter? They'd get more money if they gave them out via the site where they'd get advertisements.

It's not like I don't think they shouldn't give out codes but why via twitter? Seriously... just do it the old fashonied way, release 100 codes on a page on the hour every hour... surehere's server strain but there's also adveriements.

ChronoJoe5355d ago

Because.

They weren't given to IGN, so IGN could make a profit from them... if Sony know IGN were using they're codes, intentionally - to lure people into there, profitable advertisements. They'd probably have a problem with that.

This in itself, is a good advert. For IGN, to the people that use twitter.

mrv3215355d ago

You do realise to get information ABOUT the give away we had to go on their site.

Hideo_Kojima5355d ago

They are also giving them out on IGN and the IGN podcast...

Don't worry IGN is smart.

ChronoJoe5355d ago

Yes of course, but I'm just saying why they're also on twitter.

Using the logic of the guy I quoted, if IGN were smart - the codes would be given to IGN subscribers. There's no harm in IGN using there website to give away the codes though it's just there would be if they were doing so, purely to get add revenue.

DoomeDx5355d ago

Please, do NOT approve this.

it will only decrease my change of getting into the beta :(

kidding. approved

ddurand15355d ago

twitter is mad dumb.

and this should have been a public beta. or ps+ only beta where everyone gets in.

foss35355d ago

I also don't use or like twitter. We need less noise not more. Twitter: Instantly notifying us of the every meaningless and inane thought of the masses.

I'll be pissed if I don't get in the beta. I downloaded the theme as soon as I got home from work, it was almost a 5000. Figuring not everyone rated it I doubt I'm in. I have been a PSN+ subscriber for months now.

ThatIrishGamer5355d ago (Edited 5355d ago )

I take it winners will be given their code via a private message.

CrawFail5355d ago

should already have it.

most of my friends list is on it.

I didn't get a code although I downloaded the theme within about 10 seconds of it being put on the store.
I have a feeling it's down to my only having a 3 month sub to plus.
If that's the case i'm seriously going to lose my shit.

I sold my 360 because i felt ms ripped me off with countless rrods and having to pay for online which i didn't use that often and if my suspicions are correct sony are doing the same.

DoomeDx5355d ago

Sweet jesus take it easy!!

They said it might take 24 hours!

CrawFail5355d ago

24 hours to send me it when everyone I know who 'applied' is already on it? bullshit.

DoomeDx5355d ago

Patience dude

i know many many MANY people who downloade the theme very early..
they are waiting patiently.

maybe you should do the same.
Also, a BETA is not meant to be played as a demo.

dead_eye5355d ago

HAHAHAHA @Crawfail You buy a 3 month sub to try and get into a beta and you feel ripped off. You should have bought ps+ for the right reasons and get the bonus of been in the beta. Can't blame stupidity for been ripped off

CrawFail5355d ago

dead eye.

i bought the 3 month package because i was short on cash. i didn't get into plus exclusively to play betas.. only a idiot would do that. i got it for the free stuff.

at no point in the t&cs does it say a 3 month sub will not get you beta access, so excuse my ignorance and anger here, but i'm slightly annoyed i haven't got in seeing as i've done everything right.
what are you on about blaming stupidity for being ripped off, or are you just trying to be clever?

dead_eye5355d ago

@crawfail lol it's the internet so I was going for clever. You may still get in as emails are still been sent out.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic210d 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.

Storm23210d 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.

lockedongamer1210d ago (Edited 210d 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!

Chocoburger201d 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.

1Victor776d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar776d ago

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

jznrpg776d ago

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

badz149776d 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!

Vengeance1138776d 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 Kim776d ago

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

VersusDMC776d 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?

Vengeance1138776d ago

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

solideagle776d 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.

Phoenix76776d 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

thesoftware730776d ago (Edited 776d 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.

blacktiger776d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca776d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy776d ago (Edited 776d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain776d ago

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

Imalwaysright776d ago

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

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1527d 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.

Applejack1527d 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_B1527d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1527d 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.

1527d ago
Vegamyster1527d 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.

SinkingSage1527d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1527d ago (Edited 1527d 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 Kim1527d ago

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

MadLad1526d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1527d 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.

Magatsuhi1527d ago

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

Binarycode1527d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1527d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
