didnt everyone get a socom beta code?

i did and i didnt pre order nor buy any CE/ HG ediitions

rdgneoz34806d ago

The socom 4 beta invites came with every game, the super voucher was from the Helghast edition.

SuicideShaun4806d ago

@legendz The voucher was to have all the guns and double xp unlocked for 2 days.

Biggest4806d ago

It was for 24 hours from the first moment of multiplayer.

GLoRyKnoT4806d ago

I got the Helghast edition. Not use my super voucher yet but the game is awesome! :) (beat SP last night)

Mmmkay4806d ago

i did not. but i guess the eu verison is different. after all we got the steel book ce in the helghast edt. and the retro map pack and soundtrack twice..

--------4806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

-
Yeah, I got the UK Steelbook Collectors edition for £45. With everything unlocked, double xp, retro map pack, soundtrack album, dynamic theme, 3 unlock points and some other free stuff - I can't complain about not getting a SOCOM 4 Beta code. Also picked up the Collectors Edition Guide Book.

GAME have updated their listing for the aforementioned item, and the multiplayer bonuses (double xp etc.) are all removed from the package! Glad I pre-ordered way back when it was announced.

I still find it amazing that before I had even played one multiplayer match, I'd been given a pre release demo, 2 betas, 9 unlock points, Playstation Home mini game & avatar, the super voucher and loads of trailers/game footage on the Killzone site - that's why I love GG, they appreciate their fanbase :)

FFXI1014806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

I got the US Helghast edition, I'd love to have the steel book case though :(

I like everything in the Helghast edition like Jmorgan mention above.

Tachyon_Nova4806d ago

@ Jmorgan - That stuff GG gave yours hardly that out there is it? Consider, every high profile game gets a tone of screens and videos released on the Internet. Also consider that you had to pay extra for the super voucher and the unlock points.

Now consider that if you preorder Crysis 2 you get the limited edition at no extra price. This gives you the equivalent of unlock points (boost to rank 5) amongst other stuff. Crysis 2 will also get 2 demos and a beta at least, and will have probably just as much media released.

If GG really loved their fanbase above making money, they wouldn't have made retailer specific bonuses for pre orders would have they?

Spitfire_Riggz4806d ago

Jmorgan

"GG appreciates their fanbase"

Not when they are already announcing Dlc. God that pisses me off.

ian724806d ago

I was wondering why I haven't got the SOCOM Beta code. Must not be doing the beta here, (UK).

Not everyone wanted to buy killzone for the socom 4 beta

SuicideShaun4806d ago

No... But at least it was a pick-me-upper after I was disappointing with the game

rdgneoz34806d ago

"after I was disappointing with the game"

And the English language is 'disappointed' with you.

the code doesn't work yet

rdgneoz34806d ago

Check the socom 4 site as the voucher says, they haven't set a date yet for the beta so of course it won't work just yet. It'll probably be sometime in March, seeing as they said check back the 28th for more info.

Mmmkay4806d ago

do you get the helghast helmet with crysis 2 ???

DrRichtofen4806d ago

Does anyone know when the Socom beta starts?

dp2774074806d ago

I still have my code for the map packs and whatever else you get i dont know what im going to do with it.

DrRichtofen4806d ago

if you dont want the mappack i wouldn't having it.

showtimefolks4806d ago

while i was trying to scratch the bar i messed up the code lol. but i know i want socom so not worries

have yet to even start playing single player for killzone 3 been online in warzone. GG have done a masterful job

a lot of times my i can play other modes not warzone it sometimes gives me a error and sometimes saying world is full -946

dougr4806d ago

I bought Killzone specifically for the beta code. The multiplayer for Killzone is okay, but it's not really my style. Sold it on amazon for $45 so I paid $15 for a beta code. Stupid? Maybe, but I don't know how to get a beta code without Killzone so I took the risk, hopefully zipper makes it worth it.

DEADEND4806d ago

Come on man why did you do that for, sounds like you didn't even try to enjoy Killzone 3.

dougr4806d ago

I played it for a good 10-12 hours online before I sold it, I just didn't like the online style. The gimmicks aren't my style in online shooters, like the gimmick where you can disguise yourself, dying that way just gets on my nerves. I like more of a straight on style of play, like Socom offers, and to an extent Call of Duty. I will say I liked the online better than Call of Duty, the flaws however just really turned me off. Seriously though, why can't I customize my own weapon? That is the type of stuff that just kills it for me.

rdgneoz34806d ago (Edited 4806d ago )

Of course he didn't try.

2 days ago, "question, I don't really care a lot for Killzone, but should all copies that are on shelves now come with a Socom code? Because I'll buy Killzone just for a Socom beta code."

So yah, he bought the game within 2 days, "played it online for 10-12 hours", probably didn't play the single player, and then sold it for 45 about a day later.

Also, he mentions "flaws" but mentions none, except for saying he didn't like being able to disguise yourself as the enemy to confuse them (which smart people can see through as you can just aim at your teammates / shoot them to see if they're disguised or check the mini map for people on your team) and customizing weapons.

On the bright side, idiots buying a game just for a beta code when it'll probably come from for PS+ users around the same time as well as having an open beta soon after, helps make developers money so they can keep producing great games and not go out of business.

dougr4806d ago

@rdgneoz3 Even if I liked Killzone I wouldn't have bought it to play single player. Nice troll job.

As for your flaws comment, maybe you need to learn how to fucking read. Where did I mention flaws what-so-ever? I said gimmick, not flaw. I'm sure people love that you can disguise yourself or go invisible, I don't, therefore I stated I didn't like the GIMMICK. Then if you would have gone on to read, I stated why I didn't like the gimmick, because I enjoy more straight forward game play. Seriously if you are going to be a fan boy, and take offense because someone doesn't enjoy something as much as you do, maybe you should at least work on your reading comprehension skills. Also I don't know how you get off on calling someone and idiot because they bought something for a beta access code. For one I'm not a PS+ user, I see no purpose of it, and for another, Nobody knows if the beta is going to be opened up for all of the public. If they do it's likely going to be for a week or so, and I prefer to play the beta from the start, because I love Socom. Apparently you have a tough time dealing with differing opinions, so you should just take your stupidity somewhere else.

hellzsupernova4806d ago

socom sounds amazing especially co op from what ign have said in their preview where they won a press event invovling teams so yeah id say it was worth it. hopefully socom 4 delivers aparently the AI is amazing

blackburn54806d ago

You really have nothing to do, do you? You could have just NOT gotten it or WAIT for a public beta. You know ,have patience, that thing no gamer has anymore?

dougr4806d ago

What makes you think there is even going to be a public beta? I didn't want to take the chance on missing out on the beta entirely, it had nothing to do with patience, or not having anything to do, so I really have no clue why you would even say something like that. And isn't game sales the thing every gamer is so concerned about now? Well Killzone got my game sale, even if it wasn't because I was that interested in their game.

RXL4806d ago

i still have my socom beta access code unused..

i was never a big fan of the socom games..

meh..ill sell it to someone for twenty bucks!

LoneWanderer094806d ago

I got a Beta code, but am not going to use it

Tripl3seis4806d ago

Hey there buddy if ur not going to use the beta code how about helping a fellow playstation gamer by giving the code if ur not going to use it thanks man it would be very usefull :)

Dante1124806d ago

I can't believe that people are actually playing that much money for a Socom 4 beta code when you can just ask a manager at Blockbuster for one for free. That's how most on the Socom forums got theirs.

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

1Victor352d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar352d ago

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

jznrpg351d ago

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

badz149351d 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!

Vengeance1138352d 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 Kim352d ago

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

VersusDMC352d 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?

Vengeance1138352d ago

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

solideagle352d 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.

Phoenix76352d 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

thesoftware730352d ago (Edited 352d 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.

blacktiger351d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca352d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal351d ago

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

Imalwaysright351d 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

MadLad1103d 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.

Applejack1103d 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_B1102d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1102d 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.

1102d ago
Vegamyster1102d 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.

SinkingSage1102d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1102d ago (Edited 1102d 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.

MadLad1102d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1102d 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.

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_vulgaris1280d 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.
