5 Things You Should Know Before Downloading Killzone 3′s Multiplayer

If you’re a PlayStation 3 owner, or keep up with gaming, then you most likely saw last week’s announcement that Killzone 3′s Multiplayer would be making the jump to the PSN later today for $15. If not, well, now you know. Now before you get all excited about this “free” offer, there are some things you should know:

KZ2 is better.

I'd rather people pick that up instead in my opinion. I don't really want people supporting a game that has been causalized imo.

Raf1k14866d ago

Are there still many people playing KZ2 multiplayer?

Outside_ofthe_Box4866d ago

Well, if people pick up kz2 instead then there will be many people playing it lol.

Seriously, you should be able to get into full games without too much trouble if you search the server list through worldwide.

Can you get into a full match any hour of the day? The answer to that would be no. If you play during the afternoon or evening there should be a good amount of people playing.

brettyd4866d ago

How was it casualized?

brettyd4866d ago

All solid points, nice post. I did enjoy KZ2 more than 3 but 3 is still a good game.

Larry L4866d ago (Edited 4866d ago )

I don't understand all this talk about Killzone 3's online being "worse" than Killzone 2's. I think it was SLIGHTLY more refined, which made it feel a bit easier, but not much.

I do NOT agree that is was casualized in any way. The fact remains it's still one of the VERY few console FPSs that don't have "aim assists" or "auto-aim" as I call it, and really requires teamwork to win. Which imho keeps it just as "hardcore" as KZ2 and 1 were.

The only REAL diference between how 2 and 3 handle is the input lag was eliminated. Which was PART of Killzone's feel, but only part. WHat really gives Killzone it's feel imo (as a true Killzone fan since day 1 of KZ1) is the weaight of the weapons and character movement, it's feel of real momentum like when you come to a stop when running or turning), it's realistic weapon kickback and performance (unlike CoD for example in which you can snipe with LMGs), and of course it's atmosphere.

Those are what makes Killzone Killzone, not Killzone 2's input lag. All of which are present in Killzone 3.

I mean if you want to argue about "Best Killzones" I'd say you've got no leg to stand on talking Killzone 2 in that debate. Because again as a Killzone fan since day 1, I can confidently say that in terms of every aspect of being a FPS aside from performance on the hardware, Killzone 1 wipes the floor with Killzone 2 and 3. And if this post weren't already so long I'd run down every reason why, and probably every gamer whose really played all 3 would agree with all my reasonings.

Don't wate you time in this game people..

If Killzone 3 would have just been released as Killzone 2.5 I would have ate that shyte with a spoon, but instead it went under "CallofDutyfication" and destroyed the gameplay and balance of the Killzone 2. =/

Tallpaul774866d ago

Cloaked snipers with assault rifles & silenced smgs was a bad idea. Matchmaking in lieu of lobbies was a bad idea...

The rest of it, maps, jetpacks, classes, turrets... All heaps of fun. I think the gameplay improved from K2 but the core functionality took a step back.

Now if GG can give there heads a shake and do the right thing by the community they can make K4 a killer FPS.

piroh213d 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!

Chocoburger203d 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?!

jznrpg778d ago

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

badz149778d 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

REDGUM778d 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.

blacktiger778d 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.

lukasmain778d ago

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

Imalwaysright778d 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
Vegamyster1529d 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.

SinkingSage1529d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1529d ago (Edited 1529d 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 Kim1529d 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?

Inverno1529d 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.

Magatsuhi1529d ago

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

Binarycode1529d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1529d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
