killzone 3 will be badass, never had an issue with controller lag in killzone 2 infact (perhaps intentionally) it kinda made the weapons feel heavy and real

RedDead4907d ago

I've heard it's changed quite a bit, the reason I liked KZ was because it was differant than the other shooters that were, being heavy and all.

infamous-butcher4907d ago

I just hope you can put the sensitivity up more. KZ2 didnt go up enough.

Pixel_Enemy4907d ago

It did change, I was in the beta and it is a lot more smooth. It is like a cross between KZ2 and (I hate to say it but) COD. I think the change is actually for the better. It isn't twitchy but it's best described as smooth or fluid.

Killzoned4907d ago

I really liked KZ2 controls Too, i've never had a single problem with them. Although people stated that it tooked time to get used to, i got used to it fairly quick.
I know what your talking about the heavy weighty feeling, I heard they still have the weighty feeling but i guess aiming is more responsive

Krypto4907d ago

Oh man I can't wait for this!!! I better get off the killzone news after this, incase someone spoils it.

pangitkqb4907d ago

Looking forward to Killzone 3 and its control style. Killzone 2's controls didn't suffer from lag, however, they were just designed to feel "real." A big guy holding several guns and a bunch of ammo isn't exactly gonna be super fast.

I do look forward to a little faster though.

DA_SHREDDER4907d ago

So you play fps because they are "heavy and all"? Cmon man, you guys need to get real. Thats like saying I married my wife because of her personality. LOL!

ThanatosDMC4907d ago

I hope they dont copy COD to feed the casuals. Having no recoil, auto aim, and easy frags apparently is hardcore for COD players.

edgeofblade4907d ago (Edited 4907d ago )

@pogibaldy: It pisses me off how people rationalize games they want to like. Especially when it comes to a hyped game that needs to be a Messiah to something.

To be fair, the game design of KZ2's multiplayer was great. I loved the blend of different gametypes to mix things up and break up spawning influencing rushes to choke points. It was much more dynamic and more games should follow suit.

But the controls were, in fact, crap. GG patched it. Then they said they fixed it for KZ3. Why would they fix something if it wasn't broken?

i liked the weight in KZ2 as well. GG knows what they're doing though so i have no doubt i will like the changes

Pixel_Enemy
Thanks for the heads up!
I for one didnt really like the feel of the controls of KZ2. Online at least!

Commander_TK4907d ago

Yes, real weapons r heavy, but u still move fast when u carry them.

ULTIMATE_REVENGE4907d ago

The game comes out next month yet I still haven't seen the jungles of helghast.

Why?

SnakeMustDie4907d ago (Edited 4907d ago )

The jungle has been shown two times already. One in the short VGA trailer and the story trailer released recently.

The jungle is kinda dark and not as lush as the Crysis jungle.

ULTIMATE_REVENGE4907d ago

Watched it like three times and I still see no jungle.

If that part where the guys being zapped by some green laser is the jungle then I'm very disappointed.

I guess the PS3 could't handle a lush alien jungle.

bageara4907d ago

It's suppose to be a harsh toxic planet.

Dr-Zoidberg4907d ago

@ Ultimate Revenge pause at 1:10 it is not hard to miss lol

NAGNEWS4907d ago (Edited 4907d ago )

@ULTIMATE_REVENGE

i know what the problem is, its because your mind has been blown away that is why you can't see any jungles :)

DoomeDx4907d ago

I think Guerilla Games / Sony is playing it smart this time around (Admit it, KZ2 had bad advertisments).

I think they will release a whole bunch of new info closer to release. (One being, Online coop).

That way, the hype is there right before the game gets released!

Its better for the sales to reveal the best info at the last moment, because if everything gets revealed a year before release, people will lose there intrestest in a couple of weeks.

hazardman4907d ago (Edited 4907d ago )

I think their doing a very bad job marketing KZ3. I saw only 1 commercial all weekend long and it was like a 10sec. short, I was like damn that games deserve way more attention and hype!!
Also I read on one comment that the game play felt a lil like COD, Bungie did the same with Halo Reach and that worked out great. Looking forward to KZ3! Heres hoping it doesn't end up like KZ2 a great game that not a lot of people played. I bought the game and all map packs only to go online to find out not a lot of people were playing this masterpiece and that was awhile back....what a shame...

PSN- hazardman79

DoomeDx4907d ago

^''I hope it doesnt end like Killzone 2. No one plays that anymore''

Im probally playing a diffrent game then. I see TONS of active games!

wenaldy4907d ago

You missed the part of Story Trailer.. Remember bunch of Helgast were riding robo-spider? They were in "that jungle".. Note that the jungle is not lush as jungle in Crysis, rather than misty, alien-looking..

redsquad4907d ago

We have seen snippets of the 'jungle' (see the "We know what they do to prisoners" line during the 'story' trailer)

We haven't seen the 'space combat' levels yet though, and I'm happy to keep it that way - I had no idea about the Mech Suit or New Sun turret sequences in KZ2 until I played the game, and they were pleasant surprises.

Guerrilla Games' Multiplayer Horizon Game Could Be Named "Hunters Gathering," Teases Leak

Guerrilla Games' upcoming multiplayer Horizon title could be dubbed "Hunters Gathering," according to a new leak.

Jin_Sakai188d ago (Edited 188d ago )

I wish PlayStation Studios would just stick to what they do best, making great single player games.

Outside_ofthe_Box187d ago

The core gameplay of Horizon is really good, so this is one of the few I can see working out. Also GG does have one of the greatest multiplayer games ever made in Killzone 2 under their belt so MP isn't too far off with what GG does best.

SyntheticForm187d ago

Hell, I enjoyed Shadowfall's MP thoroughly even though it had issues. Guerrilla have delivered solid multiplayer experiences.

Cacabunga187d ago

Oh boy. No idea why they don't want to work on a killzone it's a much more fun multi mode. -

__SteakDeck__187d ago

@Jin_Sakai First. As a business, you don’t just stick to what you do great. If that was the case, Apple would of just done computers and not taken a risk with iTunes and the iPhone. Also have you seen the cost of their AAA games like Spiderman 2? Sony is going to need one of these GAAS games to hit, or expect budget cuts to their SP games. We’re already seeing in the document leak, that they’re asking Insomniac to cut budgets.

Jin_Sakai186d ago

Their studios aren’t masters at GaaS and it’s showing. Naughty Dog wasted all that time and Resources just to cancel Factions and Insomniac's multiplayer Spider-Verse got axed. If Sony really wants a big GaaS hit their best bet would be to acquire EA or Epic Games. You need huge support to keep these games going with content and updates.

purple101188d ago (Edited 188d ago )

OHH GOD YES,, or at least some new shooter. finals was okay but I want more, spesh from 1st party

DaleCooper187d ago

Meh. You know what could be good? A new Killzone.

Magatsuhi187d ago

Hope it's not battle royale.

anast187d ago

It would be better than Monster Hunter, but I'm good with the Gaas stuff.

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

1Victor413d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar413d ago

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

jznrpg412d ago

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

badz149412d 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!

Vengeance1138413d 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 Kim413d ago

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

VersusDMC413d 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?

Vengeance1138413d ago

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

solideagle413d 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.

Phoenix76413d 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

REDGUM412d ago

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

thesoftware730413d ago (Edited 413d 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.

blacktiger412d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca413d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal412d ago

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

Imalwaysright412d ago

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