Millions flock to Tahrir Square to protest middling Killzone 3 scores

SarcasticGamer - Well, the Killzone 3 review scores are in and they’re… Well, they’re quite middle of the road for such a high-profile, exclusive title. In response, the clearly outraged Sony fanboys took to the streets to protest what they believe is a perfect game.

death to 360 Reviewers who pull scores out of their ass.

P.S.
Killzone 3 BETA kicks ass COD is dead to me :)

LOL, just because someone gave KZ3 a 7 that means he's a 360 reviewer?

sobekflakmonkey4887d ago

this story is fake.

Whats going on in Egypt is completely irrelevant to the gaming industry.

This should be on BadJoyStick. Not that it's really "funny"

I've never seen such a big deal made about the story of an FPS in reviews. The fact is, it's all politics. Don't lean too far one way or the other, or you'll scare off certain powerful publishers from buying ad-space, sending preview items, etc. If they were to give the PS3 too much recognition, with all of the exclusives piling up, they'll risk losing out on content from Microsoft or Xbox-exclusive devs/pubs.

So go ahead with jokes about complaints about how ridiculous some of the reviews were. Joystiq started off with a fanboy rant about how "Killzone isnt teh halo killerz!!!" and such, IGN went on about how they didn't like the story, etc.

AndrewRyan4887d ago

I don't find it funny at all. People are dying in Egypt everyday for fighting for their rights, and sarcasticgamer decides to use to make a joke? Fucking ignorant.

ilikestuff4887d ago

Haters wanna hate,
Lovers wanna love,
I don't even want,
None of the above,
I want to piss on you.
Yes I do, I'll piss on you,
I'll pee on you.

lyrics from a dave chappelle song, a great song, but what im trying to say is that haters wanna hate and theyre gonna hate too, screww the wack ass reviews, get the game and enjoy that shit

FinalSpartan4887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

lol this is funny as in killzone 3 reviews. But not the Egypt bit.

fr0sty4887d ago

what a tasteless way to play on a very serious situation. i'm sure the families of those killed in the protests wouldn't want to come to this site and see garbage like this.

Jezuz4887d ago

exactly. Such assholes they are

Thatguy-3104887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

Don't see the point of protesting but I guess reviewed lately been on something while reviewing sony's exclusives this year!! First little big planet get some 7s an 8s when it surpasses the first one now killzone getting a ton of 7s and 8s when GG really fixed what ppl complained about the most in kz2.. I mean scores don't mean anything but what really posses me off is the fact that EVERY COD game that comes out EVERY YEAR gets 9+ !!! REALLY? I mean how can you not make judgement on these sites !! Im waiting eagerly to see the review scores the Uncharted 3 will get and if there similar to this situation Believe me I will start something similar to this whole Egypt situation lol !!! (Uncharted is my BABY SO IT BETTER GET 9+!!) HAHA

I'm sorry but how is this funny. It's just like that fashion guy saying on twitter that the people in Egypt where excited for his new fashion line. He got a lot of flack for it. Support the citizens of Egypt in there desire for freedom!

ugo4887d ago

the cold hard truth is that no gaming website likes Sony finish

Iamback4887d ago

You need to grow up. "Mueh mueh no one likes Sony, mueh mueh mommy...". Seriously get a life! Do you really think people care that much so that they hate some plastic device on purpose? Only 12 year old have such picture of the world, it doesn't work like that son, you will realize that in couple of years.

Silly gameAr4887d ago

Yeah, he's the immature one. Not the writer of the article or anything like that. It's funny to see one group of fanboys ruffle so many feathers.

hoops4887d ago

Ugo is correct. It's a mass conspiracy against Sony!!!

Hitman07694887d ago

This is funny, good thing I don't care about reviews and their scores until I've made MY OWN MIND up : ) lol.

SpaceSquirrel4887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

Some are overreacting. Killzone 3 is getting great scores.

Kon4887d ago

For gamers, specially PS3 gamers, an 8 equals to bad score.

Silly gameAr4887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

Right. Just look at the XBOX owners congratulating GG on the 8s. Oh, what. They're not praising KZ 3 on the great scores. They're taunting PS3 owners about the score, and hoping for a reaction.

It is crazy how many people think an 8 is a bad score, but it's even more insane that other fanboys are calling KZ 3 mediocre because of the great scores.

Where's that article I wonder.

jony_dols4887d ago

Edge gave it a 7/10.

Regardless of whether they were disappointed with KZ3 or not, this game has too much quality in its multiplayer, sound and graphics alone to warrant a 7.

Edge has given numerous inferior games similar or better scores than 7.

That isn't proper journalism, it is a magazine that thrives on causing controversy by underscoring games.

the_best_player4887d ago

I would be mad if my console had no games in 2011 because all the money was spent on TIMED DLC and kenect ADS.

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.

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.
