Killzone 3 in 3D with a sharpshooter

If you want the full experience of Killzone 3 then Sony are recommending you get yourself a 3D TV, Move and the sharpshooter accessory...

But how well does all of that actually work together? Lazygamer.net reports that it's actually not as bad as first imagined

"it's actually not as bad as first imagined"

Why would you think it would be bad in the first place? I imagine that it's pretty immersive and awesome. I have KZ3, Move and a navigation controller. One day I'll have a 3DTV and a sharpshooter and I'll be able to play this game to the fullest.

GavinMannion5225d ago

The idea of using a plastic gun to play a hardcore FPS jsut doesn't appeal to me, far to gimmicky for my liking

Kyur4ThePain5225d ago

As opposed to a plastic controller?

DMason5225d ago

I thought it would be a fun experience using the sharpshooter, a kickback to the old school days of light gun games. I bought one yesterday and I have to say that it isn't as good as I had hoped.

When the motion controllers are added, the gun is slightly heavy when you keep it held up for anything more than 10 minutes. And as far as the immersion factor goes, it doesn't really do it for me. Everyone says that you have to "get used to it" but I feel that using a controller is much more satisfying.

I was however impressed with the zoomed in view of the rifle's scope. It was amazingly accurate and responsive.

3D is awesome, Sharpshooter is meh. I played over an hour and my hands were killing me. 'Naked' Move is much better IMO.

Rhezin5225d ago

yup I agree, if you want to look like you're shooting a gun just go to a local range and shoot a freakin gun, don't use a plastic gun con sh!t, and they're only good for 2 things. Duck hunt and arcade games.

Jungle Green Dualshock 3 ftw.

FantasyStar5225d ago

lol, butthurt console gamers having an identity crisis.

You're using a plastic toy-mold to simulate holding a "gun". Get over yourself.

bviperz5225d ago

I've played KZ3 with a sharpshooter. It's takes some getting used to, especially when doing full turns, but that damn thing is accurate as hell.

Seraphemz5225d ago

I played on 3d and it's amazing....i want to get the sharpshooter next!

cooperdnizzle5225d ago

You need to get some new eyes man/ It looks like crap in 3D. And no i am a ps3 fanboy. So i am not saying it just to say it/

Bathyj5225d ago

Well he likes it. Lots of others do too. I dont know, I havent seen it in 3D, but maybe its not his eyes that are the problem.

Never heard of an eye problem that makes things look better but 3D seems to be a thing some people love and others hate. Like everything I suppose.

Smott5225d ago

either u don't hav a 3d tv or its a really cheap 1 if u thk it looks bad n 3d

insomnium25225d ago

KZ3 has the best implementation of 3D I've seen so far. That game single handedly makes me cry I can't afford a 3DTV right now. I don't know what game you've been playing if you're not impressed really.

Seraphemz5223d ago

I play it on a 60inch 3d tv...trust me..my eyes are fine. 3d is freakin sick!

hahha

"don't use a plastic gun "

Well, next will be :
"don't use a plastic wheel to play racing games. If you want to feel a race go buy a real car"
HAHAH

Go be jealous some where else since you can't play Halo on the 360 or Crysis 2 on the PC with such super cool "plastic gun "

Sharpshooter is awesome !
I plan to buy one soon enough .

Ohh I forgot to say , on the xbox360 you don't play using a "plastic gun " but you do play with your fingers while saying "bum bum, bum, phew, phew phew ! Go Kinect go !
LOL

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!

Chocoburger192d 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

badz149767d 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

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.

blacktiger767d 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

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_Alucard1518d ago (Edited 1518d 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 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

Omar3li1518d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
