Killzone 3: Playing with Move

The Gamer Sheep was able to spend some time with Killzone 3 and PlayStation Move as part of the site's review.

This is a breakout on how Guerrilla Games did with with implementing motion-control into a great shooter.

Now I have to go home and play the beta.

[FinalSpartan]

so far 87%...oh noes downloading beta. Killzone 2 was enjoyable so don't see why this wont. and the trophies this time around don't have that 1% leaderboard thing.

[zerox505]

i remember when killzone 2 just came out the reviews were in and killzone 2 was at an 87-88% at first but after a while it managed to average around a 90-91% oh thank god, hopefully killzone 3 manages to reach close or even above that level

[talltony]

Move and the navigation controller is incredible with kz3. I didn't know I was going to like playing it with move at all but now I don't want to go back to the dualshock. I think I just found my new favorite control scheme for fps's. You just have to turn the deadzones off completely to really enjoy using the move.

[SeNiLesBack]

Do you stand or sit when using it? Seems like your arms would get tired holding them out moving around. Any problem with that?

I don't have Move yet but thinking of getting it since I (and don't take this the wrong way and go all fanboy on me) don't care for the PS3 controller for FPS.

I might give Move a try if it's really that good for FPS.

[PLAYER5095]

is it harder to play like dat?? u gettin ur ass kicked?? well cant wait to try it out w da move

[talltony]

I sit straight up with the controllers while resting my arms near my knees. I can see it being troublesome if I sat any other way. You really need to rest your arm on your leg while holding the controller. That way you don't get tired or make unnecessary movements while trying to aim. I am telling you guys it is extremely satisfying to kill people with this setup. I really don't think I could go back to the dualshock now.

On top of it I am putting up good numbers online usually with a 1.8 to 2.0 k/d and I am only getting better.

[JoySticksFTW]

You can just sit there when using Move.

No need to stand or bounce around

I gotta try that out now. Downloaded it just a while ago. I tried thst the other day with modern combat. While I didn't like it at first i got it configured fine now. It's just the learning curve. But after a while it's the same like ds3. I hope the same is true for kz3.

[SeNiLesBack]

Cool, I just might run out and get Move. I can always return it if I don't like it.

Now my problem is the damn update that I have to down before I can down the demo.

It keep FAILing on me but now seems to finally be downing. The only thing is, it is really SLOOOOOOOW.

It's been downing for 40 min now and only 6% complete!!

[Longsama]

Yea I agree wat rele did it for me was turning the sensitivity down to 0 cause then it feels like i control the gun 1-1, I utrned the deadzones down but not completely off cause i like to b able to pick the shots on a persons body without movin the camera, it works gr8 for clearing hallways full of enemies.....oh and remember to turn the targeting to no assist

[Killzone3___]

you sit just like me when i play move XD ... when you put your arms on your legs you aim better too , your hand don't shake but the problem is that i don't have space on my room T_T so im sitting near the tv ...

[Ju]

Tried it out. Wow, best Move implementation so far. Deadzone 0, rest is OK. And feels natural from the start.

[talltony]

Yea its by far the best move implementation. I tried it with modern combat domination and man it is just so much worse. Guerrilla really took the time to make move work and work good.

[arizona-techgeek]

I'll stick to COD.

[ActionBastard]

You've earned a trophy: No one Gives A Shit

[Elimin8]

Yo Action B.. Bronze, Silver, Gold or Plat?... LOL...

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

gotta be gold. no one would openly admit to that, and be serious.

[Active Reload]

Man you crazy for that one, lol. That disagree button is going to be set on fire!

[ElementX]

I just got Move the other day and I'm excited to try KZ3!!!!!!!! Damn, I just can't wait for the release date! All these awesome review scores make the wait even harder!

[totallysane]

i just got done playing a few hours on botzone and then a while online against people with the move. it does take getting used to but omg its fun

[blackburn5]

Having a little problem with the settings in KZ3 with my Move. Anyone know the optimal setting for the deadzones and all the other things like sensitively etc? When I play my gun moves up and down only when I make wide sweeps with it. BTW serious question, no fanboy remarks about the Move controller not working

[HeavenlySnipes]

too, anyone have any settings they found worked the best? I managed to get the thing to work quite well with the turn sped low and sensitivity low so I don't spin out of control but I can't find the perfect median.

[Wh15ky]

I've set the deadzone to 0%, pointer sensitivity to 20%, and turning to 70%.
I'm loving it with Move. Spent a couple of hours in botzone first then had an online game of warzone and I faired pretty well considering I'm a very average FPS player I got 22 kills and 14 deaths, I would consider that a good days shooting on Killzone 2 (for me).

[Dannehkins]

I have a similar set up to Wh15ky. I would definitely recommend putting the deadzone down to 0%. I would tweak around with pointer sensitivity 0-30% is a good range and turning form 60-80% range. They're probably the ones you'll find the best.

[mushroomwig]

At first I couldn't 'Move' the way I had hoped, I kept turning too fast, the controls were awkward and it wasn't as responsive as I hoped.

After watching the iWaggle video which was posted a few weeks ago I tried again, changing the settings and switching the camera position. Oh way, what a difference! It's hard to describe exactly but it feels so natural it's almost as good as using a mouse.

Now I hope all that all first person shooters in the future will support move.

[Neko_Mega]

Maybe this person should have use the Sharp Shooter that was made for KZ3? That is the only way I will use Move with it, mostly because I can feel like I'm holding a real gun and not two controllers in each hand.

[Dannehkins]

I bought Move and over the time I was kinda getting the feeling that it just can't work for FPS. The rotation for the player was too slow etc etc...

But no, I was wrong. Killzone 3 has it spot on. Fantastic Move set up and the controls are right. They have set the standard for Move controls in FPS games, I won't accept anything less than this. It's perfection.

[HelghastDrake]

yes i also play with move and its amazing!! set the deadzones to 0, pointer sensitivity to 20 and turning speed to 30 and its smooth like butter. I also have that orange and white official shooting attachment im using and its so fun! definitley going to get the sharpshooter attachment for this!

[darkdoom3000]

Move is really fun once you really spend time learning it. I've been using it for 3+ months because of MAG. so my skills have been sharpened. I am better with the move (on MAG atleast)

[Bathyj]

Move certainly sounds very encouraging.

Anyone got the Sharp Shooter yet?

Can you give an impression if you do?

[Redempteur]

tried move with KZ3 beta .. AWESOME..

you need to tweak to fit your tastes
but dammit ..after it's a blast ..
