PS3 Attitude - Killzone 3 Beta Impressions

It was just shy of two years ago when Killzone 2 exploded on to the scene and inserted itself as yet another multiplayer juggernaut on the PlayStation 3. As crowded as the genre already is, Killzone has always found a way to set itself apart. Now, PS3 Attitude has had some hands on time with the Killzone 3 multiplayer beta and they're ready to bring you our impressions. So how does it hold up?

I'm just not sure about Killzone 3. I was not that impressed with the beta and Black Ops is so good right now.

piramides305325d ago

Black Ops sucks vs Killzone 3 beta or even Kz2.

NecrumSlavery5325d ago

Black Ops has a nice interface but holy hell COD BO's hit detection is as reliable as old Florida voters. Killzone is designed around a fluid hit detection system. The beta is obviously a very early build and the interface is a barren as any beta. But the gameplay is amazing as ever. It is fun and completely fluid. I am super excited for KZ3. I only got COD cause sadly it's what everyone plays, so I sheep on it just too. But with all the games coming, COD is going to end up a trade in. Hell, there'll be another COD in the fall. They are a dime a dozen.

dead_eye5325d ago

lol black ops is fun but it broken to fuck compared to the KZ3 BETA

CTU-Almeida5325d ago

and that the PS3 Boys can't stand that there are games on both platforms which are great.

R_aVe_N5325d ago (Edited 5325d ago )

CoD sucks on both controllers so your post is pointless... The game sucks period it was very badly done on both systems...

dead_eye5325d ago

It sucks on the xbox 360 controller as my hands are both the same so both sides of my controller should be the same.

Holeran5325d ago

You've got to be kidding right? Not being impressed with the KZ3 beta is like saying you're not impressed with Kim Kardashians body, and yes there is a 2% population of homosexuals in the world but most of them would also admit Kim Kardashian has a smoking body.

THE TRUTH5325d ago

Ouch! Now that's a damn good reply!

JUDALATION5325d ago

Looks like a 360 fanboy making shit up!

Im in the beta and I have black ops... Black ops cant even compete with modern warfare 2... let alone KILLZONE 3! The Beta is insane and easily the best shooter of all time hands down! graphics are great and the sound has been improved and soundhoring is very useful. The sound of the mecs will make you juzz and when you hear the alarm when the mec is about to explode you will shit your self... only dice has better sound and thats a unexpected suprise... there are some flaws in this game but they are fixable. this game is a 10/10 hands down and game of the year contendor next year...

Okay I've read 100000000000000 beta impressions and seen 1000000000000 more vids. When are we goning to see some single player besides the Arctic E3 gameplay?

RevXM5325d ago

Or even TECH interviews demonstrating the technology.
one thing I loved with Kz2 was the HRS.
I would like too hear and see what they have done with the Hit Response System, and for example the AI.

cyberwaffles5324d ago

why spoil yourself with the campaign? we already know what kz3 is made of on just the multiplayer front; maybe it would be better to surprise yourself when you finally play the campaign as it will offer better graphics and even better cinematics.

49erguy5324d ago

I suppose you're right to some extent cyberwaffles, but knowing a little about the story and the 2 opposing helghast forces that you're caught between, the campaign will probably be the best this gen. KZ2 was a test run compared to this.

cyberwaffles5323d ago

you're definitely right about kz2 being a test run. can't wait what kz3 will be like, especially hearing that they got inspiration from ND and Uncharted; the standard de facto of new IP story telling. and i won't lie, i would probably check out some campaign videos if they were released lol.

Rhezin5325d ago

Don't bring that trash inna K3 comment section.

CTU-Almeida5325d ago

Killzone 2 sucked so much online. Graphics don't make a game alone PS3 Boys - keep that in mind. I think that PS3 Boys just look at the game and don't actually play.

gijsbrecht5325d ago (Edited 5325d ago )

Killzone 2 doesn't suck at all online. It feels so more satisfying than any CoD game I played. And for your information, I still play KZ2. And it's not as broken as MW2 and BO seem to be. I can't wait for KZ3. It's actually a series that improves rather than degenerates.

raztad5325d ago

You havent played KZ3, so how would you know?

Holeran5325d ago

Obviously you have not played the KZ3 beta.

RevXM5325d ago

BRAND NAME with millions of faithful sheeps dont make a good game alone.

And you say Kz2 is bad?
Like Black ops is even playable?

Kz 2 is way more satisfying and realistic, than gun on a levitating stick gameplay.
And Guess what, it actually works, in contrast to Treyarchs crap.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5325d ago

Is just another new multiple troll account.

redsquad5325d ago

Can you offer any insightful critique beyond it "sucked"?
Your disparaging remarks towards PS3 owners suggests you're not one of them - Ergo, you haven't played KZ2 and I suspect your dismissal of it derives from your inability to play the game on that machine in your avatar.

CTU-Almeida5325d ago (Edited 5325d ago )

When I played the game I've never felt really connected to the game according to its bad controls. I don't know how KZ3 plays but I hope they improved it like they said.

raztad5325d ago

Very positive impressions all around. My own experiences are really good and the beta is totally serving its purpose of gathering feedback and finding bugs. KZ3 is gonna be a hell of a polished, fun and eye poping game.

Multimillion sellers like CoD:BO could totally use a good beta period and not have people paying $60 to beta test the already released game.

8-bit5325d ago (Edited 5325d ago )

My only issue with the beta is the match making system. It needs some fine tuning. Most matches I get into are one sided as far as player count goes. The option to switch faction would help big time. Other than that I love it.

raztad5325d ago

Agree. Match making is bugged as of now and the option of switching sides is a must.

Other thing is the lack of lobby. Dont know if the release version isnt supposed to have it or it was just left out in the Alpha build we are testing.

dead_eye5325d ago

sad to say but I think the lobby is gone.

Match making is broken for kz3 at the moment but they do have a thread for you to write in when the teams are unbalanced so should be sorted for release

yoghurt5325d ago

Love the beta, yes it feels slightly different from KZ2 but I feel it still retains it's KZ personality and without a shadow of a doubt the best graphics I have seen in a FPS.

With only a couple of months to go until release, we MUST start seeing some new levels, getting more info shortly hey?

piroh201d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic201d 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.

Storm23201d 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.

lockedongamer1201d ago (Edited 201d 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!

Chocoburger191d 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.

1Victor767d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar767d ago

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

jznrpg767d ago

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

badz149766d 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!

Vengeance1138767d 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 Kim767d ago

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

VersusDMC767d 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?

Vengeance1138767d ago

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

solideagle767d 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.

Phoenix76767d 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

REDGUM767d ago

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

thesoftware730767d ago (Edited 767d 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.

blacktiger766d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca767d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy767d ago (Edited 767d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain767d ago

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

Imalwaysright767d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

bouzebbal1518d ago

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

MadLad1518d 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.

Applejack1518d 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_B1518d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1518d 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.

1518d ago
Vegamyster1518d 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.

SinkingSage1518d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1517d ago (Edited 1517d 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.

AzubuFrost1518d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1518d ago

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

MadLad1517d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1518d 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.

Magatsuhi1518d ago

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

Binarycode1518d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1517d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
