Killzone 3 Single-Player Demo Available to Everyone

Last night, the PlayStation Store released a Killzone 3 demo to the masses. In North America and Europe, the demo is only available to PlayStation Plus subscribers, but a simple workaround will make the demo accessible to everyone in those regions with a few easy steps.

While I'm a big fan of PS Plus and all it's features, everyone needs to try to single-player demo ASAP. It's epic.

Pixel_Enemy5250d ago

I have a European account and also a Japan PSN account. I am going to have to check and see if the demo is available on any of those without plus. I can't wait to try this demo!

MerkinMax5250d ago

"Constants fades to black". "Miserable Experience". I experienced neither of these.

That demo was awesome. The cover system is amazing now that you snap into it, making ADS easy with the Alternate Control scheme. The cutscenes were beautiful; specifically the end of the Jet Pack sequence and the very last cutscene. I'm glad that I don't let reviews dictate me. Can't wait until the 22nd!!!

On another note, I did an epic slide kick and knocked a Helghast soldier off of a balcony, it was pretty epic :)

SeNiLesBack5250d ago

Downing now with no PS Plus!! LOL

darthv725249d ago

I'll just wait. I have patience.

stevenhiggster5249d ago (Edited 5249d ago )

got to agree with Poison, based on the demo alone the game is at least a 9/10!
Loved Sev's Helghast impression lol.

Perjoss5249d ago

so unless you cheat the system, you have to pay for the demo?

orange-skittle5249d ago

Unless you continue being a cheap bastard. Anything you want early or special, you will have to pay for it. Did you honestly think PSN was going to remain free and offer the things YOU WANT? God I hate cheap ass people

Perjoss5249d ago

its not about being cheap, i spend insane cash on video games every year but a demo you have to pay for is no longer a 'demo' is it?.

Ravenor5249d ago

@Perjoss

Careful they'll just tell you its optional and continue eating it up like PS+ is the best thing since sliced bread.

Demo's to download have always been free, and the idea that people like to pay for a glimpse of a game they are going to spend another 59.99-69.99 is absolutely ridiculous. Their is no reason to be charging for demo, heck I remember a time when it was un common for major games to not have demo. At least on the PC where we were downloading demo's long before the console's. (Tbh I miss demo disks sometimes too.)

Medal of Honor Allied Assault had a SP demo and an MP Demo, they also released an additional map for the MP Demo. Those were the days.

BakedGoods5248d ago

@Ravenor

Careful man, *you* might make yourself look ill-informed.

PS+ has it's benefits, including access to demo's before anyone else. You're a PC gamer, that doesn't sound familiar? You know, like FilePlanet's all access pass? Or Steams 'early demos' for pre-orders?

If you're gonna QQ because you can't play Killzone early, then stick with your PC gaming.

Did they remove the demo? I just made a hong kong account and can't find it anywhere.

Damn, guess I was too late. :l

cannon88005249d ago

I'm sorry to hear that, but yes you're right they did remove the demo.

frostypants5249d ago

I wasn't feeling the multiplayer beta. I think I've become too much of a Battlefield kind of guy. But I'll still give the single player a shot.

crimsonfox5250d ago

i was about to suscribe to PS PLUS just for this too. It is tempting

HappyGaming5250d ago (Edited 5250d ago )

I signed up for 3 months to get into the BETA now am also getting this PSN Plus was really worth it... I paid around 12 quid for it but got so many things that were worth it.

I would say get it now.

You pay $15 in america and get even more stuff in the coming months not just the demo.

Pixelated_Army5250d ago (Edited 5250d ago )

@OT
Sony gives away so much free and discounted content for PS+ subscribers, it's just ridiculous. : ) I will be renewing PS+ next year no doubt.

I'm uploading to utube right now and it's still processing the vid, so give it a couple of mins or you can download the full 30 min non re-encoded version from my dropbox account. Enjoy! : )

HappyGaming5250d ago

I just went to download the demo and I saw that they updated it with more stuff... I just downloaded 3-4 dynamics themes (there are a bunch of minis for free which I personally don't care about because there are other stuff) and a 2 games one of which is a multiplayer PSN game called Leads and Gold which normally costs 11.99 just from this single game i got my moneys worth.

Xilef5249d ago (Edited 5249d ago )

Why haven't you deliverd your weapon prototype to the military?

MARKUS_MAX1MUS5249d ago

I will NOT waste such weapons of such magnitude, into the hands of a total INCOMPETENT!

TheFreak5250d ago

I am downloading this now as we speak can't wait.

piroh212d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic212d 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.

Storm23212d 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.

lockedongamer1212d ago (Edited 212d 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!

Chocoburger202d 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.

1Victor778d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar778d ago

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

jznrpg777d ago

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

badz149777d 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!

Vengeance1138778d 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 Kim778d ago

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

VersusDMC778d 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?

Vengeance1138778d ago

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

solideagle778d 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.

Phoenix76778d 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

REDGUM777d ago

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

thesoftware730778d ago (Edited 778d 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.

blacktiger777d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca778d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy778d ago (Edited 778d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain777d ago

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

Imalwaysright777d ago

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

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

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

MadLad1529d 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.

Applejack1529d 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_B1529d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1529d 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.

1529d ago
Vegamyster1528d 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.

SinkingSage1528d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1528d ago (Edited 1528d 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 Kim1528d ago

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

MadLad1528d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1528d 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.

Magatsuhi1528d ago

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

Binarycode1528d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1528d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
