Killzone 3: "Wow, this is art" (Hooked Gamers)

Killzone 3 is the first marquee Playstation3 title to feature all the bells and whistles the console currently offers, those being the Move and 3D support, of course. We here at Hooked Gamers, however, decided to take a different approach with our review. For the core gamer we axed the Move and avoided the over-priced 3D technology. We are here to bring you an in-depth and unbiased review of the Killzone experience most of you will enjoy. And enjoy it you will.

first,i really LOVE the game!!
but i must say one thing that really bugs me...i really dont get why i was able to "upscale" the DEMO to 1080p and i cant even do it with the full game!!i have a 46" samsung LED and theres a HUGE difference between 720p and 1080p..even 1080i !!
that REALLY bugs me! i hope they will patch it so at least we will be able to upscale it to 1080i,because 720p really sucks for me!
beside that the game is just great..its by far the best FPS i've played this year and so far it deserve to be GOTY

BK-2014960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

1080i is worse than 720p and upscaling games doesn't make them look better and you can lose detail.

You guys don't believe me? 1080i is just 540p upscaled and looks a lot worse in motion than 720p. Although it will give you slightly better image quality, its just not worth it for gaming.

Kon4960d ago

"1080i is worse than 720p" Yeah, you bet.

Tommykrem4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

Believe me, 1080i has the potential to be a lot better than 720p, but most games doesn't handle 1080i very well at all. Rainbow Six

EDIT: 1080i is not the same as 1080p btw :P
If anyone didn't know.

cooperdnizzle4960d ago

This dude tells the truth don't know why he got disagreed with! But what he says is true. On topic, the game is pretty good, best graphics ever for sure, but i was unhappy with some of the gamplay i thought they could have done more with the story as well. I would give the game an 8.5 overall. some of the sound wasn't to great either, and the dialog was a bit underwhelming at times. It is a good game and i would recommenced to every one. But i will say GG studio's need some work still. I think they will get better and better as they grow as a team. They have only made a hand full of games. And i think in 5 years they will be at the top of there game.

saladthieves4960d ago

Maybe I should pick up the game and start playing before those crazy kids online rank up to elite statuses.

jack_burt0n4960d ago

Find a casual, give them a move controller and sit them in front of KZ3 in 3D.

KILLZOWN3D

DigitalAnalog4960d ago

Killzone 3's native resolution is 720p. And THAT is the preferred resolution to stick to if you want the best possible experience. I had to do this to all my games preventing them from upscaling to 1080p because they sacrifice image quality. Worst for you, a 46" screen would make that far more noticeable.

ahhhh the jaggies.....the jaggies

USE ANTI ALIASING IN YOUR GAME guerilla

this game looks worse than killzone 2, i popped 2 in just to make sure and yes, without a doubt there is way more annoying jaggies and moving jitter in this game, i would say 70% more

killzone 2 is a far better looking game

macky3014960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

wtf are you talking about it is 720P with 4xMSAA* (edit-MLAA).. ?

teh horror,...

-edit: TYPO,. Yes BK-201 ,.. you are right,.. MLAA* (thanx bro)

BK-2014960d ago

MLAA not MSAA, MLAA can sometimes be the equivalent of 16xAA, at least thats what DF determined with GOW3 that used MLAA.

cooperdnizzle4960d ago

Wow you need to get some new eyes/ And the do use a type of anti aliasing. I don't know what you have seen, but i think you lying. Starting stuff just to star stuff. The game looks way better than Killzone 2/ And yea i am not a fan boy of this game. I thought it was good but that's it. But i can't lie the graphics are the best on a console for sure. Get a new tv or get your eyes check/ I think you have a problem. Or your a lair

Master of Unlocking4959d ago (Edited 4959d ago )

I think I know what he's getting at: what he's seen is not "jaggies" (or "aliasing"), but "scintillating", or "moving jitter" as he calls it.
It happens on the screen with objects wich have a lot of thin, parallel lines very close to each other, in Killzone 3 or just about any game ever made, and regardless of the amount of AA used (yes, K3 uses some very effective AA, so that's not the problem).

It happens on low-end TV sets, I believe. Mine is not a Sony, or even Samsung or whatever, and it does that in places, on just about any game. I've seen this effect even on Top-of-the-line gaming rigs, simply because the monitor hooked to it was crap, apparently.

Bottom of the line is, you need to change your TV and buy a Sony Bravia, just like I'm gonna have to do, if only to enjoy 3D, therapist. My condolences to your wallet (and to mine)

house4960d ago

im honestly trying to understand how you think killzone 2 looks better than killzone 3 just with the demo alone i know kilzone 3 looks better

callahan094960d ago

What jaggies? Haven't noticed any jaggies. The game has mindblowingly amazing graphics.

cooperdnizzle4960d ago

Dude your funny, Your a pc fan boy. I have a great rig, and to tell ya the truth.... The are no good games for pc. The only game i really like on pc is mass effect. O yea and all your comments are the same thing, "To many Jaggies" Ever post i read of yours said that. Get off here and go play your pc/ O yea that's right you have nothing to play... Pc are over hyped. I bought my rig and it just sits there. Get over yourself!

therapist4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

cooper...the only thing you have ever posted about on this site is killzone 3 for the last two months, i wouldn't trust your word for shit, that would be like asking Rush Limbaugh if obama was doing a good job

yeah....ok....Crysis 2 on ps3 will look real sweet for you dude...lol....nice patch killzone 3 is downloading right now 38mb, they just patched it , wtf is up with this game, maybe i just got a fuxed up copy, everyone here is either lying to themselves or i got the copy that looks awful, moving objects, muddy texture and most of all...JAGGIES

there are so many it is inexcusable....it looks like halo 3 with all the terribly unsmooth lines

-gosh i know pc doesn't get any games

http://www.gamestop.com/bro...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/se...

@house, because you are all blinded by the hype you cannot see there is a matric ton of jaggies in this game, I have tried it on my 42lcd, my 50 plasma, my 23" monitor and my 32 in the workout room just to see, no matter what i do, there are jaggies everywhere, tried dropping sharpness, it is there no matter what.

Ju4960d ago

Dude, seriously. Get your eyes checked or your TV. Either one (or both??) is broken...

cooperdnizzle4960d ago

Now i know your just a lair. I have posted on crysis two, Gears, GT bullet storm. And plenty of other. My word is not shit. I play more game's then you would ever play. I own every console back to the nes. So yea dude. Your a pc fan boy. Me on the other had, i am a sony fan boy. But i support all gaming console. So i can form an opinion, cause i play all my console.

fredfenster4960d ago

Successful troll is successful.

house4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

wow you just keep going like some one said above killzone uses MlAA your just trying to start a fanboy war.
i haven't seen theses jaggies you are talking about and to compare it to halo 3 come on man that's just very very idiotic

and this is of the ps3 alone with games http://www.gamestop.com/bro...

and 360

http://www.gamestop.com/bro...

the ps3 and the 360 have 1000 games each compared to pc that has 196.

edit:
(nice ignoring my respond to the the lack of games on pc)

there might be a few here and there but your the blind one if you compare it to halo3 that's honestly stupid i think you have the fan boy goggles on just your state ment "killzone 2 looks better" when killzone 2 didnt even have MLLA and killzone 3 does so if anything these so called "jaggies" you see would be alot less in killzone 3

therapist4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

honestly, it's just that i was baffled by your stupidity, did you look at the amazon list, there are 18,064 pc games on sale at amazon,

there is 1,301 360 games and 2128 ps3 games, so, umm yeah...

and on pc, you can actually play games from the previous "gen"

so there's your response, what's yours??

oh wait, what could you say, i just produced 14, 365 more games than both consoles combined have, all played on one machine, what could you say...seriously...there is nothing you can say because i just owned you harder than anyone has ever been owned on n4g ever

;)

house4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

lmao owned me/s

yeah you owned me yet yet your going around the point of you stupidity of compairing halo 3 to to killzone 3 yeah you got me/s

and to the to the 14 000 games are most of them AAA oh wait Scrabble Champion Edition takes the crown goty (and for pc there's 14 000 games most of those are from last gen if you want to add last gen games the ps2 basically owns it by it self )

clrlite4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

Don't even worry about it House. Anyone who comes on the forums to lie about a game is full of it anyway. That = Autopwned

Killzone 3 is absolutely stunning. I picked my copy up today. Best looking console game I have ever played and the most fun I've had online since Counterstrike. I've yet to see if it has as many OMG moments as God of War 3 though.

clrlite4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

@therapist:
You sound extra butthurt today. Perhaps you should ask Dr. House for a prescription. Or, maybe save up some money and actually buy a PS3.

LoL, the fanboys come out at night. Just buy a damn PS3 already.

house4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

theres nothing i could prescribe for stupidity

@ clearelite i dont bother with pc gamers i game on my pc as well but to be honest have played more games that are goty on a console then a pc

CobraKai4960d ago

I wish they used a better codec than Bink. What few real time cutscenes they had looked way sharper than the FMV. Also, Guerilla needs better endings

trancefreak4960d ago

NOT A SPOILER!

The end of the game is pretty clear everything is building for it. You know what you have to do!

That mission alone tells you everything if you you followed closely what was going on and what were stahls intentions. So you know his intent and if you saw the ending you know what will proceed.

CobraKai4959d ago

I understand that, but it's more how it was executed that's the problem. It felt more like an ending to a tv show episode than a game. At least with TV you just have to wait a week to see what happens next and not 2 years. It shoulda been more satisfying.

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

1Victor503d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar503d ago

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

jznrpg503d ago

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

badz149503d 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!

Vengeance1138503d 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 Kim503d ago

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

VersusDMC503d 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?

Vengeance1138503d ago

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

solideagle503d 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.

Phoenix76503d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

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.

blacktiger503d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca503d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal503d ago

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

Imalwaysright503d 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

MadLad1254d 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.

Applejack1254d 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_B1254d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1254d 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.

1254d ago
Vegamyster1254d 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.

SinkingSage1254d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1254d ago (Edited 1254d 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.

MadLad1253d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1254d 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

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.

Knightofelemia1432d ago

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_vulgaris1432d 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.
