NyuKaze: Killzone 3 - Beta Gameplay + Impressions

NyuKaze: Okay, first off I KNOW this is "just a beta". I'm fully aware that this could be entirely different from the final game, and all that good stuff. These are our impressions of what we were given to play. So far... not so good. The graphics are probably the only thing that has improved since Killzone 2 (multiplayer-wise). Everything else has either remained the same, or gotten worse.

PaPa-Slam4988d ago (Edited 4988d ago )

Stop being a Whinny little......, i have been playing the Beta and the Beta alone is so much better than Killzone 2 let alone the full version of the game.

Map is fun, controls are responsive, Graphics are better than Killzone 2, everything is fun. Sure there are bugs but thats why you and i are in the Beta to check/point them out.

The guy gave his final verdict that (He's Sure Killzone 3 MP Wont Be Fun For Him) based on the Beta, pfft Kids.

Longrod_Von_Hugendon4988d ago

Think this has been posted already.

May I remind the people out there that this is a beta and tweaking will be on going for a while. Minor issues aside this game is fucking awesome and the reason why I think they nitpick so much is because they love it and are being just a little bit over protective of it.

BkaY4988d ago

stop whining and enjoy the game.. and do humanity a favor in this case "us gamers" ... report glitches and bugs... thts y you are in beta..

if you suck playing a game its not games fault .. its yours... and dont justify by writing an article about it..

peace...

Nitrowolf24988d ago (Edited 4988d ago )

only things that bug me are that when you try to run up some stairs you get stuck, and on one level it gets annoying once the other team get 2-3 mechs and start spawn camping you. Other then that i am loving the beta. I wish there were more maps. Also like the unlock system and customization. I hope, idk i havn't done much so it might be there, but i hope it has server choices are whatever like KZ2 had where you can select which one you want to join in.KZ2 online setup menu was better i think,with the exception that KZ3 menu having more options.

My favorite mode so far idk whats its called but it's awesome cause it does these short cutscenes when you advance on, pretty cool adds a lot to it. Havn't gotten a chance to use jetpacks yet.

to me " 4-5 hours of getting raped by other players who have accomplished nothing other than playing longer than you have" it just sounds like this guy sucks, or like some one had said below doesn't have the beta. really my second match i manage to go 15:3

@below
that whats its called, awesome mode gotta love when you land in as a ISA and advance forward to the tower or a helgaust just having the ISA Swarm in right in front of you

despair4988d ago

I agree completely, I'm not a huge fan of console FPS games but I'm competent on most of them. My first match had me with 3 kills 10 deaths, second match 7 kills 10 deaths and third match 16 kills 5 deaths. It took me all of 20 mins to change it around.

Now I don't like the super accuracy of the weapons, no recoil and for some reason the Tactician with the locate enemy location special really is something that can be abused. I mean 30 seconds of enemy location with big targets painted on them even through walls and it takes like 40 seconds for it to recharge, that's almost the whole match knowing exactly where all your surrounding enemies are.

Now I ignored this "article" because 90% of his problems are either made up(I had zero performance issues) or so minor(clip size really?) that its just them trying to make up space. The beta is great, few quirks and definitely some tweaks to do but I love it so far. I always get a kick out of people shooting at their own teammates to make sure he's not an enemy cloaked :)

thief4988d ago

Regarding spawn camping – thats one of the biggest complaints about maps such as Radec, yet easily avoidable if you use your brains, there are at least two alternative exits you can use to get the jump on your opponents and yet everyone insists on rushing through the same narrow door where you get mown down again and again.

xTruthx4988d ago

This guy was hating the game b4 he even started it lol. I have been playing it and it has been awesome, I only play operations tho. Feels like your in a movie :P

NecrumSlavery4988d ago

agreed. I hope there are different stories for each map in Ops, cause it's just as epic as playing a campaign, but more immersive.

BeOneWithTheGun4988d ago

WHAT? Cloaking? I'm going to have an ulcer waiting for this game to drop.

BiggCMan4988d ago

im guessing you didnt play killzone 2...

mugoldeneagle034988d ago

I had the same complaints as everyone as did for KZ2, I thought it was fun as hell but the control was terrible. I won't say much about the beta (because I don't think I can) but it's WAY more fun than KZ2. I don't know if its because of the jet packs or fixed controller weight but I'm having a blast, and I'm not even that good at the game.

Dixon4988d ago

no its cause they made it noob friendly.

mugoldeneagle034988d ago

It's no where near as "noob friendly" as MW2 or other shooters. I've had a 2:1 K/D ratio in every SOCOM I've played (Since S2), Resistance 1&2, both Modern Warfares, MAG, etc. I consider myself way above average when it comes to shooters.

However, I was pretty bad at Killzone 2. 1:1, maybe a little under, and so far in the KZ3 beta I have like 60 kills and 90 deaths.

So I wouldn't exactly say me enjoying the game more is because it's "noob friendly"

Headshot814988d ago

I dont know, looks like He made an edit of old footage
then slapped his watermark on there?. I've seen a lot of the gameplay before,
somebody confirmed this?

N4Great4988d ago (Edited 4988d ago )

"Everything else has either remained the same"

First : even if the guy is right, it's a good thing, kz2 was the best multiplayer shooter for skilled people on console : just fact.

second : he is absolutly wrong, jetpack, meca, speed, graphics, it's really different, with a touch of kz2.

My only complaint for the moment is : minuguns/assault, etc are too powerfull, that make the game more noobs friendly, like other shooters, i hope this thing will change, because with that kind of thing, you can't really show your skill, like in kz2 where only the best players finish first in a deatmatch.

by the way, approve yukaze blog ? xfanboyz are really desperated.

Lucky you dude, i've tried everything to get into the beta.

No go for me.

-Mezzo-4988d ago

your not alone, i tried my best but failed as well.

trounbyfire4988d ago (Edited 4988d ago )

people that don't even care about KZ got in while we are forced to watch videos. i can't play KZ2 because KZ3 looks so B A.

and most of all new maps, i am tired of KZ2 maps and yes I have the 6 map bundle been playing UC2 anyway but only plunder because deathmath is slow and a camp fest in UC2

WHAT are UC2 modes that are action packed besides plunder

jaredhart4988d ago

Looks good! can't wait for the game!

SpaceSquirrel4988d ago

The changes seem for the better in K3

James Vanderbeek4988d ago

ignore this site.. this video is from another person on youtube from a week ago.. they stole this video and just pointed out the bugs. this is probably some troll posting crap on this game because the cant get a beta key.. losers

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

1Victor410d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar410d ago

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

jznrpg410d ago

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

badz149410d 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!

Vengeance1138410d 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 Kim410d ago

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

VersusDMC410d 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?

Vengeance1138410d ago

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

solideagle410d 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.

Phoenix76410d 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

thesoftware730410d ago (Edited 410d 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.

blacktiger410d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca410d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy410d ago (Edited 410d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal410d ago

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

Imalwaysright410d ago

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

bouzebbal1161d ago

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

MadLad1161d 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.

Applejack1161d 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_B1161d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1161d 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.

1161d ago
Vegamyster1161d 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.

SinkingSage1161d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1161d ago (Edited 1161d 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 Kim1161d ago

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

MadLad1160d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1161d 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.

Magatsuhi1161d ago

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

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1339d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
