So you can only play for free until you achieve that rank? Then it locks you out or something?

There's always a catch with these people.

Nate-Dog4875d ago

They could just, ya know, not give you any trial instead for the game.

Megaton4875d ago (Edited 4874d ago )

They might as well. I doubt they'll be winning many over with what amounts to a timed demo.

@PinkFunk - Har har har. They can do whatever they want, but they shouldn't claim something is going free-to-play and then backpedal with severe restrictions.

PinkFunk4875d ago

No I think Megaton is right, it would make more sense for Sony to release the full MP portion of the game for free.

Cause then they'll make money when more people come. Simple economics dufus.

................ /s if that was even necessary

Nate-Dog4874d ago

@Meg: True but there will be some who will be attracted to it and if they are shut out from it after a certain amount of time, some may react and say "ah well that was enough" but some may say and feel like they want more, after all the MP on PSN is supposed to be $15 which is quite cheap.

thebudgetgamer4874d ago

Are you sure that's what it means, could it be you play to the certain level then have to pay to continue moving forward?
Like they did with MAG.

Silly gameAr4874d ago (Edited 4874d ago )

Thought this was known from the beginning? Did you seriously think it was going to be free? Have you read any of the articles or heard the PSpodcast or anything?

@budgetgamer

Just like what they did with MAG. Exactly.

thebudgetgamer4874d ago

I'm saying does it lock the game were you cannot play anymore, or does it make it were you can't move past the level?

Silly gameAr4874d ago (Edited 4874d ago )

From what I understand, it's free to play until you reach the level cap, then you have to pay the $14.99 to keep leveling up, and it also unlocks the full Killzone 3 MP.

@Birdy, read more then the headline next time man.

Majin-vegeta4874d ago

You know this actually got me thinking.What if they're doing this so if people like it they can buy the game and if they do release an HD of the first one with online multi people will get it.It was suppose to be on the PSN a few weeks ago but was scrapped just my thought.

Oh yea those skeptical aboutgetting it don't worry lobbies are still full i just gone done.

Jihaad_cpt4874d ago

Some people are just dirt cheap they want everything for free. It makes me fucking nuts when people expect everything for free

birdykilla4874d ago (Edited 4874d ago )

Well when they say hey you get Killzone 3 MP free to play, then tell us that its only free for like a couple matches thats going to make some people mad including me. Also I like free things when I can get them, but have no problem spending money on different things. It all adds up quick, and any time your able to get something for free that leaves you with money for something else. So your comment is about as retarded as the people who complain about GSL hosts lol. How about you go nuts about something that matters rather than bitch and moan like a girl.

Fragger2k84874d ago

Well that's kind of lame. When someone says free to play, it should be, you know, free to play.

But still, $15 for the multiplayer of this game isn't a bad deal at all, as long as people actually play it. But usually, once a game starts dying, there isn't anything you can do for it. =\ It may get some more people playing it, but it won't take too long before the numbers drop significantly.

My brother seemed to really like the multiplayer of it, and I thought it was fun, so maybe I'll end up buying it anyway.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic217d 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.

Storm23217d 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.

lockedongamer1217d ago (Edited 217d 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!

Chocoburger207d 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.

1Victor783d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar783d ago

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

jznrpg782d ago

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

badz149782d 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!

Vengeance1138783d 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 Kim783d ago

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

VersusDMC783d 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?

Vengeance1138783d ago

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

solideagle783d 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.

Phoenix76783d 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

REDGUM782d ago

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

thesoftware730783d ago (Edited 783d 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.

blacktiger782d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca783d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain782d ago

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

Imalwaysright782d 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

MadLad1534d 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.

Applejack1534d 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_B1534d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1533d 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.

1533d ago
Vegamyster1533d 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.

SinkingSage1533d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1533d ago (Edited 1533d 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.

AzubuFrost1534d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1533d ago

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

MadLad1533d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1533d 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

RevXM1534d ago

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1533d ago

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

Binarycode1533d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1533d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
