Gamescom: Killzone 3 Shown on Move
Guerilla's shooter gets first motion control outing.
UK, August 17, 2010
by Martin Robinson

Of all the games announced for Sony's PlayStation Move, it's surely Killzone 3 that's got the hardcore salivating the hardest. Even without the magical wand Guerilla's next shooter's an exciting prospect – throw in some motion controls in a genre where they're a proven hit and you've got something potentially monumental on your hands. But can Killzone 3 on Move live up to its billing?

As you'd expect, the controller dictates where the camera goes, and moving it to the extremeties of the screen shifts the player around, while the navigation controller works in tandem to provide movement. Snapping to cover requires using the move button, and navigating from your hiding spot is done by pointing the controller.

A choppy frame rate – no doubt due to this being an early build – doesn't help us get a great impression of how well it works, and neither does the fact that as of yet we can't get to play it. That privilege will be coming later in the show, but for now it seems that even with the somewhat disembodied feeling of Move the arsenal retains its trademark heft, and in this regard Guerilla's implementation of the device should be a success.

There are control gestures thrown in too, and pleasingly they seem thoughtfully integrated. Empty a magazine and a twist of the controller reloads, and the brutal melee system is unsurprisingly brought to life with Move. And what could be more satisfying than plunging a knife into a Helghan's eye socket for yourself?

We'll be bringing you more on Killzone 3 as Gamescom kicks off proper tomorrow.

Sony has killer apps lined up for Move--Good for them...

With more responsive controls---could be an even bigger title than Killzone 2

It's already destined to outsell KZ2. Cheaper console, larger fanbase that's willing to try anything shooter related. It'll handily beat KZ2 LTD numbers. Also, Kevin Butler gonna's be there this time, and he's been perfect for Sony's 1st party efforts.

This looks absolutely phenomenal! Some screens look straight from a sci-fi movie.

I am squinting my eyes at the death triggers to see if the lag between killing a guy and him actually going down has gone. That is a nasty little thing that made me not play KZ2 online at all after a few weeks. I just couldn't ignore it anymore.

KZ is the perfect universe for me since I love near futuristic settings with good ol' ballistic firearms. Don't give me non of that shitty disco light flashlights (AKA laser guns)!

Yep.
And unfortunately, I couldn't tell if it was gone or not from the footages shown either.

So far, too samey for me I'm afraid. Not a buy yet (KZ2 SP AND MP was highly disappointing for me).

jako

09-05-2010, 06:44 PM

Seing those videos, I don't think I'll be palying KZ3 with Move because you can clearly see an auto aim, that make the game too easy.
Also, there is a little lag between what you do and the yellow hud on the screen.
For me it is for sure DualShock3 for this game.

frosty

09-05-2010, 09:07 PM

did you not hear him say the auto aim is disabled when playing with move, and only is there when you press a button?

AC!D

09-05-2010, 11:09 PM

Frosty is correct Jako. Auto aim down the sites is on for dualshock and off for Move. Why? Because its easier and faster to be more precise and accurate when you aim with Move. Also dont judge the the speed of moving your camera around as lag. There will be sensitivity settings to change all that in the final game. The only minor thing that might be more annoying with Move will probably be the up close melee kills. That looked a bit awkward in the vid.

jako

09-06-2010, 08:19 AM

Yeah you're right Frosty but I'm not sure that the game is playable without this auto-aim.
And playing with auto-aim on isn't really gaming for me. So untill I'm proven wrong (which I could be) I'll stick with the DS3.
Anyway I'll have for sure the Move controler because my kids want it to play sorcery... So I'll try KZ3 with this controler.

masteratt

09-14-2010, 01:08 AM

It's not auto-aim, it's "sticky aim", when there are two enemy close to each other and you want to aim for the right one but the "auto aim" moves you to the left one, it's F'ing annoying.
Also when you are aiming down an alley, covering the other end of it, and someone runs across, the "auto aim" takes you with him to the left and then another person comes from the other side and you can't aim at him properly.

And the most annoying thing is, games don't let you turn it off nowadays! What the £%"£%"%""!£!$!!!15342513.

Probably heard of this alread but beta for PSN+ subscribers start the 25th

Yes, the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial really is coming! Just like its predecessor, the multiplayer mode for Killzone 3 will be put through rigorous testing at the hands of the toughest, most demanding critics in existence: you, the fans. The Trial starts on October 25th and access is limited, so please read the following instructions carefully if you want to know how to secure a spot in the Public Beta:

* Be(come) a Plus subscriber
With the exception of a handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants, access to the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you’re not enjoying the many benefits of Plus membership yet, now’s the time to sign up!
* Download the theme
On October 19th, an exclusive Killzone 3 XMB Theme will appear in the Plus section of the PlayStation Store. The first 10,000 Plus subscribers to download this theme (5,000 SCEA Plus subscribers and 5,000 SCEE Plus subscribers) will receive access to the Public Beta Trial.
* Check your email
After you’ve downloaded the Killzone 3 XMB Theme, you will receive an email on Oct. 25th containing the Public Beta Trial promotion code and further instructions through the address you registered as your PSN Sign-In ID. Make sure you’ve set your notification preferences to accept emails from SCE, or we won’t be able to contact you.
Those of you who make it into the Public Beta Trial are expected to provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test our network code in real-world scenarios. In short, we’re counting on you to help us improve Killzone 3! In return you’ll get a good taste of the multiplayer mode, including its brand-new Operations game type, party system, and jetpack and exoskeleton vehicles.

And if that doesn’t convince you to take a shot at the Public Beta Trial, maybe this new trailer will: http://www.viddler.com/explore/sceablog/videos/1291/

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/10/07/the-killzone-3-beta-starts-on-the-25th-of-october-and-here-is-your-chance-to-get-in/
There will also be 300 codes for none PSN+ people

There is another way, but it’s going to require a bit of luck. It just so happens we still have 300 promotion codes lying around – 150 codes for SCEA territories, and 150 codes for SCEE territories. Next week, we’ll be organizing a giveaway in which 150 individuals from each territory will receive a promotion code that grants them access to the Public Beta Trial. So keep an eye on Killzone.com, @killzonedotcom on Twitter and the official Killzone Page on Facebook for full details of this giveaway!

Fairness. They don't want half people with aim assist on and half with off.
And if they make it a matchmaking option, it divides players too much to the point matchmaking takes a long time.

At least those are the excuses from Infinity Ward (makes sense to me though).

I can only confirm, that the game really looks and plays like this.
The gameplay got really fast and frantic and the controls are top notch super responsive and accurate! (unfortunatelly no Move support yet...as far as I've seen)

In this Level there is also this HUGE walking mech in the background which crushes entire buildings under his (4) feet! Really amazing and I cant wait to see this mech in the single player campaign.

Nice..keep the updates coming, good to know they fixed the controls, it was kinda annoying after awhile.

My biggest gripe is story, but I understand these games aren't really directed at me. Still amazing to look at though, perhaps Sony finally has some decent competition in the FPS battle on it's hands now with Killzone. Good sales for the series so far, but hasn't taken off to the hype of other shooters yet, though IMO it's hand-down the prettiest.

That was the story for the 2nd one wasn't it.....

They were invading with a massive force in Killzone 2. The third game is all about survival without ISO support and learning about Helghan culture caught in an internal Civil war since their leader is dead. At least thats the way i understood the description of Killzone 3. Anyways they hired a new writer so i just hope its good because i see massive potential. Hell maybe you even get to play a part in the civil war by choosing a side in a level or two with you disguised as a Helghast trooper.

The game picks up immediately after the ending of Killzone 2 and follows the previous games' main protagonist, Sev, a Special Forces operative fighting for the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance against the Helghast Empire. The game's story has been referred to being similar to the story of David and Goliath. The game continues shortly after Sev successfully defeated Radec and Rico having killed Visari, the Helghast dictator who leaves them to a fleet of Helghast ships approaching them destroying ISA vessels.

The death of their dictator has left the Helghast Empire in a state of internal struggles with political scheming against each other gripping the Helghast Empire. Now, Sev and his comrade Rico are trapped in the cross-fire between the various political factions in the Helghast Empire without any reinforcements and are left to fight alone in order to escape as the ISA struggles to regroup its forces. The game will also give players a deeper look in to Helghan culture such as their language and showcase whatever humanity they have left within them.

Killzone 3's story will also be more light-hearted compared to its predecessor, which Guerrilla felt suffered from an overly serious and dark story which was one of the major complaints of the original, though they mentioned that it would not be too light-hearted as it is still a war. In addition, Guerrilla Games has hired an external writer to focus on only writing the storyline so as to give a fresh perspective to the story as well as hiring a lot more Hollywood actors to elevate the level of storytelling within the dialogue of the game.

Guerrilla Games has also mentioned that the game's story will be an integral part of the game with dialogue and character development being greatly improved from its predecessor. In addition, Guerrilla Games has also said that they are curtailing the swearing in Killzone 3, which many felt was unnecessary in the dialogue of Killzone 2. They mentioned that the dialogue in the game should be focused on advancing the story rather than "gratuitous" swearing.

Thanks for the info but honestly I couldn't care less what was going on. I've tried paying attention but my brain left the room.
And I usually love stories but FPS games do it so bad. The way they tell it especially, urgh. I can't remember someone's name 5 seconds after they are gone, that's how little they make me care.

Kudos for trying and there does seem to be something there for people who it can appeal to.

Also, I've got the BETA code too woot. Opens tomorrow which is a blessing in disguise as I really should sleep early tonight, and this BETA would have probably ruined that.

And just because it copied the smooth CoD controls doesn't make it the same. There are billions of differences between the games. And really smooth controls =/= Cod...It just means smooth controls.
And seriously call KZ2 MP controls 'realistic' all you want, for most people it was just sluggish and laggy.

If the wheel turns, don't reshape it.
Smooth controls = why the hell wouldn't you want it.
XP building up as you kill = satisfying to the max.

And those are the only two things I see from Cod here.

Why must there be ONE standard for every fucking genre these days?
Every shooter is like Cock of Duty, sooo annoying.It isn't going to be like CoD though besides really responsive controls. I think every game tracks your kills and kill multiplier now, so that's a given.

CoD is the standard for how a FPS should control (until some1 does it better)--I don't think that's a bad thing at all. None of the weight and feel of Killzone looks like its gone, and as masteratt said, "who wouldn't want really responsive controls?" I didn't finish Killzone 2, but I definitely didn't like the sluggishness of it, I played and finished Resistance 1 though, and I don't play FPS at all.

Controls were a big reason for that, and that Killzone 2's story was pretty whack, despite having a pretty cool universe created for the game.

I just played few games with a squad made of friends ( we were 3 ). And first things that didn't change rom KZ2 is the balance.
We played against 8 players...3 against 8 And we of course could not win at all.

First disappointment : Unlocks.

You begin the game with only one rifle. not even a secondary weapon....you have to earns points to unlock weapons and abilities.
the Helghast SMG looks like the KZ2 SMG. the LMG is just so cheap, too powerful and you can kill someone at thousands feet with it.
Spawn grenades are gone with the tactician. There are 3 spawn points, and you have to capture them.
Tactician ability is also kinda cheated. first ability enables ennemy tracking on the map for few seconds. You can see the ennemies behind wall as well.

There are three maps :

Urban city featuring the too powerful Mechas.
Frozen shore , the most balanced map
and the last one featuring the jetpacks.

Also if you don't have unlock few of the weapons like the rocket launcher you just can't destroy the mechs. ( which happend in one of our game )

As for the gameplay mechanic it's the same as Killzone 1 except that L1 is used for melee and melee assassination moves.
L1 used to fly with the jetpack and R1 fire with je jetpack.

The input lagg is gone, but too sensitive in my opinion. You can kill ennemies and do streak kills easily. But some weapons like the LMG as I said are too unbalanced and could make the game unplayable.

Sorry masteratt, I alwready was in a squad game. I ll join you next time.

Then after some time the colors became more saturated. In the end it looked good but I prefer the less saturated look. As evident by the example below.

10-26-2010, 04:27 AM

I've been playing it for the past 3-5 hours. It's not as good as KZ2 (the benchmark of FPS games).

There is little recoil especially whilst using sights and you can kill someone a good distance away without the need for sights or short controlled bursts...even whilst moving. It's just spray and pray. So you can just grab an LMG and pretty much hold down the trigger finger. Hell using sights on LMGs are fucking cheap as there is no recoil. I seriously hope they fix it, because I'm noticing a quite a few LMG campers. It also destroys any cost/benefit of choosing one weapon over the other....there's very little difference, just spray and pray and 95% of the time you'll get the kill.

They just gotta bring back the recoil from part 2 to stop the sprayers.

I also don't like the score pop ups that come up when you kill people...I feel like a kid with ADD and it just takes away from the immersion that part 2 had.

Right now it's quite a disappointment.

Also the benefits of the ribbons will only further promote camping...rewards such as increased accuracy really takes away from skill, making spraying even easier.

Also if you don't have unlock few of the weapons like the rocket launcher you just can't destroy the mechs. ( which happend in one of our game )
Shotgunes/ grenades? they work on turrets and stuff but I assume mechs are a bigger battle.

And again do I have to pick a special mode or something? I only get one map and I've never seen a jetpack or a mech.

As for the gameplay mechanic it's the same as Killzone 1 except that L1 is used for melee and melee assassination moves.

Easily if you are against crap players. I've won all my matches but I wasn't positive in all.
I also like different weapons feel different. LMGs I agree are the easiest by far atm.

Sorry masteratt, I alwready was in a squad game. I ll join you next time.
That's cool I was just testing the party system.

and 600mins lol, "wtf" indeed, took me about 25mins and that was on a peek hour.
The patch update was only like 60mb for me but from what I'm reading, you seem to be in a much advanced BETA :/

@gibmonster (http://e-mpire.com/member.php?u=12091): Dude it's a BETA. Don't go in a craze over those things, those are ALL things that can be adjusted probably in 20seconds and that's what the BETA is for. Let them know in the feedback forum.

Even things like the points popping up as you gather them, which you don't like but I love it. Much better than searching for the point on the top right which is what you had to do in KZ2 and it actually took me out of the game more. This way you can keep playing and get the info you need. Had nothing to do with "add"....Really don't get that point, people hate anything CoD for some reason without realising that there is a point developers copy them, and that point isn't to sell, it's because most of what CoD does works the best. And this is still Killzone. Points popping up did not give me the impression of "omfg cod wannabe" AT ALL.

I'm sure LMG will get changed as it's obviously "broken". No recoil and it's very strong. I disagree about other guns though, SMg is crazy, I fire it for 3 bullets, it points at the sky. I can't even spray someone a cm away with it which is awesome (you have to move like a tactician and quickly get your sight up everytime you enter a new area). Hell even with the sights it's a bit crazy.

Haha well no yeah it took me 20 minutes to download it too lol. but first it was written 600 minutes..I was afraid I had to wait until today to play it.

Well yes you must select Warzone if you want to play with all the maps and all the gamemods. The first mod only has one map.

Well you must earns gamepoints to unlock reward points ( 1 points to unlock an ability or a specific weapon ).

Patch 2.02 corrects the squad issue which occured during the private beta.
Now you can invite people to your squad and even if you leave the game for a moment you can join the previous active game you were in with your buddy.
One thing is that if you have people in your squad party before searching for agame( up to 8 ) they won't always be on your faction but will be on your game.

Agreed completely.

Plus, CoD isnt the standard of how and FPS SHOULD control. It is to many people but I dont feel that way and I'm not alone on this so it's not the universal standard. CoD's aim assist is ridicilous and makes the game pretty much a joke. That alone makes it "not the standard" in a lot of people's eyes. Plus, I dont think every FPS game should rely on iron sights. Just think of Unreal or Quake style FPS game with the CoD ironsight stuff, not the standard! Resistance doesnt need iron sights either, nor does Halo or many other FPS games. Killzone didnt need it either.

MAG got the iron sight gameplay pretty damn perfect though. It's got only a slight aim-assist (wouldnt need it at all though and would be an even better game without it) and it takes more than one bullet to kill someone which means your aim has to be consistent to get kills. Plus the movement has more weight but allows for a lot of defensive manouvres. Just hope Socom relies on hip shooting instead of the Uncharted/Gears "zoom" or iron sights.

Anyways, KZ3 so far (so far because they can still fix it based on feedback from players) has been a massive disappoinment even though I wasnt the biggest KZ2 fan either..

@TEEDA (http://e-mpire.com/member.php?u=9787):
That link will be useful for gibmonster, copy and paste your feedback there dude (maybe re-word some bits lol).
I've got no feedback atm other than "it's awesome", which is not a very good one so nothing to report from me yet lol.

I've earned the unlock point and unlocked a secondary special for the Medic (healing aura) but I don't get it on my 2ndry ability button. Same with something I've unlocked with an engineer...I just thought not everything was available in the BETA.

I might report SMG having too much recoil but I actually like that it's super difficulty.

Hm, I don't recall there being more than one mode, but I'll check again when I'm back home. I recall just warzone or playing with BOTs.

Lmfao my akimbo days on MF2. It was when the double shotguns were super unfair, after they patched it I've started playing much more carefully with my M4 mostly :)
You were always much better than me in Killzone but now that I can actually aim, we might be closer :) Send me an invite if you see me and I'll do the same.

@whiners: I haven't noticed any aim-assist, thank god. I was looking down a corridor and two enemies came across and the game didn't drag me across (which I HATE) and I could kill both at my own will without having to worry about aim-assist dragging me to one it picked.

Good to know it's coming along...Just remember this is what the BETA is for, you guys really shouldn't be complaining here about small things you want changed--GO GET IT CHANGED.

@Cyrus (http://e-mpire.com/member.php?u=10335): I disagree that CoD isn't the standard, sure not everyone like auto-assist, and it would be nice if you had the option to turn it off, and of course have no auto-assist rooms or whatever, but it's still the standard. Not because it's the best control to have, simply because people vote with their dollar what they want. The standard pretty much correlates to the "most popular", and in FPS, you give players what the want.

If you felt like KZ2 controls were perfect, I'm pretty sure you are in the minority, and that's just how it works, gotta change to the way more people want to play it. I like my FPS to feel like Timesplitters/Goldeneye, so I'm all for more responsive twitchy control. I'm still pretty much waiting for Socom, but KZ3 is looking impressive already...

That's not true, at least it wasn't for me in my game, I took 4 or 5 EXO suits down with the engineer's LMG alone. Just have to come at them at their blind spots.

I don't feel that any of the levels are unbalanced.

Though I will say the EXO suits animation was horrible.To much jerky motion.

gibmonster

10-27-2010, 03:05 AM

I completely disagree with you there. That sort of thinking is why most FPS games suck. Just look at resistance 2. They tried to make it like COD and people hated it. While there is a case for KZ2 for apparent "input lag". Even with precision aiming, the weapons still had a weighty feel. The weight of the weapons was what really made it cool. It's also the least of the game's problems as now it no longer takes any skill to kill people. This shit wouldn't fly with the ARMA or rainbow 6 crowd.

In KZ 2 you still had weapon recoil, burst fire management..In certain situations I would crouch for a moment to refine my aim just to get that tiny edge for the kill on intense one-on-ones. There was plenty skill involved. and now it's gone. It's a complete and utter disappointment considering that Guerrilla wanted this to be a grounded, realistic (stylised) sci-fi. It never promised to be the arcadey shooter for the lowest common denominator (belligerent COD fans). KZ3 takes no skill. It's things like these why people say that all FPS games are the same and are sick of em. KZ2 really was the game to own after 5 years of disappointing FPS games winning quite a few best MP awards last year.

Right now. KZ3 reminds me of that episode of the simpsons where Homer designed a car for his brother. He tried to please every body and the car was a total failure. Not saying KZ3 is gonna be a failure sales wise, but I think people are too married to franchises like COD, not because they're any good, but because they're well known, and those sorts of people aren't gonna stick around...they're not true fans. That applies to anything.

Lol finally played the other modes, didn't realsie you've pressed left and right on main menu to scroll through modes (I'm used to seeing them in a list through years of being 'trained' that way).

Anyway it's kick-ass.

Gonna give feedback on it (here and at beta forums):

My only complaint is the map with the mech is super unbalanced.
They put those rocket firing turrets to counter mechs but when mechs are there they can get you off that in about a second (if you can even get to them) and when mechs aren't there, those turrets are super over-powered against humans.
I just camped a turret and got lots of kills then a mech started spawn pwning us and I could hardly survive for 5 secs which was very annoying.

Also I sneaked up on a mech, hoping I could 'steal' it or do a melee kill on it by ripping it's wires off or something but it didn't work and it crushed me ¬_¬

i usually pre-order from amazon but the retro map pack sounds best to me. wonder which retailers are giving that.
also i assume they're releasing those maps as DLC alter or otherwise theere's not gonna be a very big userbase online that can play those together...

Also I sneaked up on a mech, hoping I could 'steal' it or do a melee kill on it by ripping it's wires off or something but it didn't work and it crushed me ¬_¬

That sounds like a cool idea, I hope you suggested that to Guerrilla on the Beta forums or wherever you guys post your feed back.

masteratt

10-30-2010, 03:13 AM

I did but not sure what's going on there.
Many seem to create threads for every little thing but there was a sticky Suggestion thread so I just put it in there. I thought they would have someone from GG roaming the sticky threads at least so I hope it gets seen.

Bad thing about this is, you never get feedback on your feedback lol. Like I am interested to know if my suggestion would work, if not, why wouldn't it work, how can it be better? is it total shit? why is it shit? etc, but we'll get na-da! Other than a generic "thanks for your feedback" when BETA ends.
Not a huge thing but makes giving feedback a bit less fun.

I think Guerrilla is trying their best to make a lot of people angry

Q: Spawn Grenades, are they in or out?!

A: Spawn Grenades are out and won’t be coming back. We feel that bringing in Tactical Spawn Points have made the game better, not worse. And this is why: although Spawn Grenades could make or break a battle and turn the tide of the Warzone game, it was causing far more problems than it was solving. In a big number of games this was causing a massive amount of unnecessary spawns, kills and deaths. Sure there are a small number of people who place and use Spawn Grenades correctly, but for the vast majority it was killing the game. They had to go. At the moment we are still tweaking the TPS points to make sure, camping, neutralizing and capturing these points will become as good as we can get it. But we won’t take them out and go back to Spawn Grenades.

Q: Custom Games, are they in or out?!

A: Custom Games are out too. We have chosen for Matchmaking for a couple of reasons: to reduce the large amount of exploits, to make sure players are put in better competitive matches and to make it easier for people to find games. As we have noticed Matchmaking is not working properly yet. We are working hard to fix that, but it doesn’t mean the choice is not valid. Custom games created unreadable lists with a plethora of different games, but very often not the game that a player is trying to find. Yes, we have taken away some of the freedom, but we’ve replaced it with a much easier, user friendly system

Yes, competitive games like 3v9 or 4v10.

masteratt

11-01-2010, 12:27 AM

Well I agree with them.

Matchmaking on my PC copy for Bad Company 2 doesn't work and that's why I don't play it often.
In MP I just wanna login, click matchmaking, chillax and keep playing. With server browsers you have to bother with options, finding games etc and you still might get a shit game, matchmaking for 90% works great.

How about clicking on the button for that? The games all have a quick match option iirc.
I hate it when I cannot choose a game, it might work in games like Uncharted, but it's the last thing I want for shooters like Killzone.

Matchmaking has been around since Xbox1 and more devs started using it before CoD.
CoD didn't invent matchmaking nor did they make it popular.

That was bullcrap and you know it.

Matchmaking has been around since Xbox1 and more devs started using it before CoD.
CoD didn't invent matchmaking nor did they make it popular.
I never said that, doesn't change that it's becoming more and more like Modern Warfare with all the changes, including this one. All games I know which have a custom lobby/room option also have a quick match option, so where is the problem? Even SOCOM 1 on the PS2 had both and it looks like Treyarch even noticed that for Black Ops.

This is getting ridiculous and I don't care if you like CoD, I don't and I am pissed that they are making my favorite shooter franchise almost a copy of Modern Warfare, from the controls to the points system and now even the match making.

masteratt

11-01-2010, 05:32 PM

I've played CoD probably 40% of the times I had PS3 on, I've played the KZ3 BETA non-stop for like 3 days.
They are NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTHIIING a like.

Matchmaking and convenient points HUD does not make it a copy. I can't believe you ever think that.

Controls ARE smoother yes, but they are not twitchy. And honestly you know why they've changed the controls? Because you couldn't freakin' aim in KZ2 (nothing to do with practice, it was just input lag, simple as). Half the time it was like I was pushing the game to try and do what I'm trying to do like "c'mon go left!!". Sorry if you enjoy input lag, but I can't imagine many people do. Devs coming out and saying "we've reduced the input lag" during KZ3 development shows it was not a design choice in the first place.

If you have any more specific concerns, let me know and I can easily address them as I haven't played any two shooters that are more different.

see heres the problem GTace "YOUR" favorite... they have to sell to a wide audience thems the brakes. i know for a fact if it "IS" more like "POPULAR" shooters it will be more popular thats how ya make money they want money too ya know. its the same as Toca/V8s series they make it more arcadey (like so many gamess these days) and it sells more. the problem is GG cant make a game for 20 people & not make it for what the rest of the populas wants.

Well this beta made my decision easy. All I want is a M82 and spawn grenades, one is gone the other is only in 1 class. Turrets are for the most part useless, match-making is completely broken. For me ever game I've played with match-making is always broken, especially when clans get involved and I'm usually on the short end of it.

That's exactly what I mean, I think Killzone 2 also has one, but I am not 100% sure.

Jaedin

11-02-2010, 01:09 AM

KZ2 does have one, I've been playing that way. As far as Warhawk, I was on it day one and in the beginning I don't believe it had the quick join/matchmaking. You had to search for a game then keep trying to get into it. Whatever the case though I still prefer the matchmaking maybe cause I'm a little more casual with online gaming. R1 had it perfect IMO for groups, clans and joining games.

I'm not sure why custom games are such a thorn in GG's side but KZ2 has both. Although you can make a custom "ranked" game and maybe some have exploited that, and thats what they are refering too? Cause custom games in general are a staple of FPS since oh I don't know "Golden Eye" or something.

KZ3 beta for free on Indian PSN Store

On the Indian PSN Store go into the second tab on the left titled smth like PSN+ , then look on the right hand side.. the 4 icon should be for KZ3 beta... click on it and then click on the Download button... And NO you *don't* have to be a PSN+ member for this download to begin

Dev update:

Hey Lince, it was the fans feedback that led us down this path in the first place (Where we go to extra lengths to prevent spawn camping and to balance the game with the exos).

Ideally I could give you a new update during the beta to play around with these changes but we're no longer allowed to patch in content.

My ideal scenario would be to keep the beta going until we go to Gold Master and to continually provide the community with tweaks/changes/updates. Unfortunately that's just not possible.

The feedback I've received so far, whether it's negative or positive has been immensely helpful. So thanks for taking part and taking the time to comment.

I can tell you I've been playing around with the recoil, damage and damage over distance attributes of the weapons and I'm A LOT happier with their behaviour now. I'm certain you guys will be too. No more LMG sniping.

Also, the differentiation between the weapon is a big deal to me. You're spot on with the AR's in KZ2 and it's still the intention to have that differentiation in KZ3. We haven't messed with the M82 or the StA52 too much. Although there is another difference between the two. The M82 does slightly more per bullet damage but the StA52 has less spread while moving.

The differences between hip-fire and ADS are more pronounced too. Like I said, I'm confidet about the way the guns 'feel' right now and I'm sure you guys will be the same. From the comments I've read from you guys it seems as though we're all singing from the same hymn sheet here.

Our intentions with aim assist is that it's not noticeable. If you can see it easily then we're not being subtle enough. Console shooters need to have an element of aim assist but it was possibly too much for the Beta so this is something we have our eyes on and something we'd rather was a little more seamless and subtle.

We have indeed been playing around with the neutralisation and cature times for the TSP's.

The neutralisation times need to be shorter than the respawn timer to allow a Tact to clear out a TSP and then neutrlise it before the enemy respawn.

We've also added additional TSP's to the maps that required them.

There's been quite a lot of changes since this Beta went live and there will be an article soon that details for you guys what we've already addressed and what we intend to address prior to release.

Killzone 3 beta feedbacks implemented by Guerrilla

The Killzone 3 beta is still going on and if you don’t know whats that, check out our preview here.

So the beta was an hit or miss but it was great that Guerrilla games implemented most of the feedbacks, they say the final game will run much better than the one currently.

Here is the post by Guerrilla games.

Hi all,

We want to start off by thanking you for contributing to a successful Public Beta Trial so far. So here goes: “THANK YOU!”

Seriously, thank you for all the time you have spent playing the Beta. Thank you for your honest and sometimes brutal feedback. Thank you for all the creative, workable and sometimes unimaginable, but fun, suggestions. Between all the Devs, we have read all of them and responded to half as many as we would have liked.

Thank you, because we now have what we need. Actually, we have received so much feedback, suggestions and bugs, that the general discussion part of the forum has served its purpose and has been closed. There is enough info on there to make six Killzone games, not just one. We know what your opinions are; we know what you think should be altered or different altogether. And we know what we need to focus on to make Killzone 3 all it can be when it launches in February 2011!

During this Beta we’ve had a good mix of participants to help us out: people who were new to the franchise, but also a lot of hardcore Killzone 2 veterans. To those of you in the latter group, please know that we recognize your share in keeping the Killzone community alive and bringing new players to the game. We appreciate your continued support and feedback. Your comments on features such as Matchmaking, Controls, Server lists (or Custom Games) and Tactical Spawn Areas (or Spawn grenades) have been most valuable.

And while we may not be able to implement every suggestion you’ve offered (for instance we can’t “…just implement Killzone 2 spawn grenades-code” – that’s just not how it works!) that doesn’t mean that we aren’t listening to you. Your comments and suggestions form the basis for the changes we are currently making to Killzone 3, along with your bug reports and telemetry data from the game.

While it’s impossible to specify every fix, update and change that we are working on, the game is already in a much better state than what you are playing now. We would have loved to bring all of these changes to you via additional patches, but this would have taken us a lot of time that we’ve chosen to spend on development, fixes and tweaks instead. We will continue to incorporate your feedback up until launch, so the next time you see Killzone 3 it will be a much-improved experience.

We have already improved on a number of things that you listed. These are just a few:

• Matchmaking improvements – lots and ongoing
• Tactical Spawn Areas – functionality and additional TSA’s where needed
• Weapon damage, recoil and range
• Weapon distribution over careers
• Added Weapons
• Exo’s – count, health regeneration and damage
• Spawn camping
• Career Abilities (like Recon)
• HUD icons, readability, options
• Tweaked turrets, sentries and drones
• Running speed, stamina tweaks
• Player health

Finally, it’s important to note that we’re nearing the end of the Public Beta Trial. We do not know exactly when the beta will shut down yet. But somewhere in the next couple of weeks the online service will be discontinued. The good news is that you will still be able to play and practice in Botzone after the Beta ends.

The Bug Section will be still open to report bugs. So you can still report issues. Also, don’t be afraid to use the Survey we’ve set up.

In the meantime, have fun with the Beta. And be nice to the new people coming on board! We hope to see you all in February 2011.

Thanks,

Guerrilla

You need an account which has the beta to access the beta forums, so head over there and do the needful.

^Good lord this looks amazing.

So whats the verdict guys is this a better looking game than Uncharted 2 and GOW 3? Im in the U2 > GOW3 graphically camp. Its difficult to tell because the art is more dark, grainy and so different to U2 but this really looks amazing.

drakkar

12-16-2010, 07:04 PM

I would say that KZ3 beats Uncharted 2, but who knows with Uncharted 3 and on that note what will Santa Monica's next game look like, because GOW3 was using a PS2 engine and was there first effort. I personally think that Santa Monica has produced the best efforts in graphics so far when you factor in to the fact that when comparing each studios first games, of course another factor would be maturity in the consoles life span.

On that note all the above mentioned game have looked so great who really cares which is the best! I also enjoyed all of the titles thoroughly as well!

AC!D

12-16-2010, 07:16 PM

Its going to be a great year for Sony. I was genuinley not excited about KZ3 and R3 till the co-op campaign news came. Now with my favourite games inFAMOUS 2, Uncharted 2, Journey, LBP2 and The Last Guardian being joined by two great exclusive shooters that have given us what we asked for its Sony's best year for games yet. Hell then there are still third party exclusives in Ninokuni and Yakuza 4.

Plus games im undecided on that are exclusive like Socom, Motorstorm, Ratchet, WKC2, Twisted Metal and probably one or two more surprises. I dont think ive ever seen an exclusive lineup so big with so many games i love being released in a single year on any one console.

Dear Guerilla

Please fix: the controller lag, make shooting a rifle like shooting a rifle not manhandeling a log.

:Bland boring environments, please I don't think I can take fighting through the same bombed out WWII esk city / industrial zone / base / barren wasteland for the millionth time.

Make the characters interesting with more to say than fucking higs every few seconds.

The graphics are certainly awesome but you already fooled me once with Killzone2 :mad:

- They have reduced controller input lag according to DF and made the control sensitivity more COD like.

- They have shown a snow level and confirmed that there are jungles also. You will notice a lot more colour in the screens also and this has been confirmed by all the previews released today. Go read one or two.

- The story and characters are anyones guess but Guerilla have said they are putting a bigger effort into this aspect.

- Campaign co-op has been confirmed.

Any more complaints? Maybe its time to start giving these guys a break and thank them for actually listening to their fans and the same goes for Insomniac.

I agree about the melee though. I just want the option to custom set my controls. Forget layouts. I dunno if it's in this beta or not, never checked. Melee on the DS3's analog stick is too slippery for me to try and focus the reticule and click L3 as the same time.

Any more complaints? don't know give me time to play it first :o

I'd like movement speed to come up a fraction; I always felt slow and venerable esp when you were rushing from one enemy ambush set piece to the next.

Cover system felt sloppy and was awkward to pull off in the heat of battle. If they can't improve it I say fuck it off just have a responsive crouch fucntion and apporpriate geometry to hide in and around.

Need to make the melees more... tactile hard to explain; melees never felt as good as they do in Halo for example.

I've felt so appathetic towards to KZ serries in generall; Fresh slate though for KZ3.

Well just keep an open mind and give it a rental at least. These guys have taken in a lot of feedback and done a hell of a lot more to improve their engine, add more features and fix past problems than Treyarch have so lets give them some credit. The same goes for Bungie and Insomniac who put a hell of a lot more effort into Reach and Resistance and that i can respect!!!

- They have reduced controller input lag according to DF and made the control sensitivity more COD like.

- They have shown a snow level and confirmed that there are jungles also. You will notice a lot more colour in the screens also and this has been confirmed by all the previews released today. Go read one or two.

- The story and characters are anyones guess but Guerilla have said they are putting a bigger effort into this aspect.

- Campaign co-op has been confirmed.

Any more complaints? Maybe its time to start giving these guys a break and thank them for actually listening to their fans and the same goes for Insomniac.

with the Campaign co-op is that online? or just split screen :(?

Unfortunately in the Kotaku preview they mention that Hulst says there will not be online co-op :shrug:

They dont mention why though or even if it could come in a future update. Strange decision :(

The chaos Hulst showed me seemed like the kind of chaos made for two. You can play the mission he showed me in co-op, but split-screen only, not online, he said. I think it might be more fun to see the MAWLR un-cut by a split-screen on my TV, though. It is an impressive sight, an Empire Strikes Back walker for this Killzone 3 that has already shown to have a good helping of snow.

^Good lord this looks amazing.
Indeed it does. And yet still no word on a screenshot function (1st and 3rd person) from Guerilla. This game needs a function like this. And let us add different effects ala U2 and GT5. Shit would be so cash.

what is really getting my goat at the moment is the attitude when sites/people compare games. more or less it follows along: if you ignore the scale, the amount of stuff going on, the amount of enemies and attention to detail, KZ3 looks the same as any multiplat game.

anyway. are those giant wasps on the bottom right?

I was one in a long line of people to get their ass handed to them in the CES floor demo Sony had set up, but I was surprised at how responsive the camera moved with the movement of the gun. It basically moves the camera to where you point, and there are some fine tuning options in the menus if you aren't feeling it as much as I was. I expected for it to be disorienting, but I had no trouble picking off a few enemies before they mowed me down. Aside from the aiming, I could also hit the bottom of the gun to reload. Or tilt it to the side to reload. Also, thrusting the gun forward did a melee attack.

I haven't seen any official news that says that there is no online coop?

Edit: Nevermind, I saw the Kotaku link on the previous page. That sure is an extremely odd omission since they went through all the trouble to have split screen coop. I'm also confused as to why kotaku seems to be the only gaming new site that says this (unless I'm not looking hard enough)?

Rico for President!

You just watch, Killzone 4 Rico will be the man in charge of the ISA, then things gonna get really nasty.

Could offline co-op be a by product of 3D enablement? In that very little resources needed to be put in because of the 3D.

I hope that Luger and Hacka make a reappearance somewhere in the game. I could have sworn that Luger was supposed to make a cameo in KZ2 at least, but that never happened.

Smokey

01-09-2011, 03:37 PM

I usually prefer offline coop... loved it with Resistance 1... hopefully, they'll do a REAL story coop... I am still not sure, if they fuck it up like they did with MW2 and R2... Really didn't like those coop modes.

the main thing me & the mate love about online co-op is for one (he lives 5000kays away lol) plus there is no worries about LAG while playing against game maps/modes/story if you get shot ya shot if ya shoot them they die. what we really want is a game where we can go through the "GAME" together online the closest so far is COD WaW. i really want a co-op game lol

Im really impressed with this guy. Just added iWaggle3D to my fav list. I bet Viper could have used this guys vids to sell us on the Wiimote years ago with all the shit we gave him :D It's nice to have vids like these that seperate the bullshit from the reality of MC gaming. I'll be checking out their Kinect vids also if there are any to see if im off on my opinion on it.

Anyways the game looks great, glad its got co-op + move support and its definitely a day one purchase. EA and Epic are really stupid to release Bulletstorm in the same week. If i had any interest its gone now. Im not getting two FPS games in the same week.

Sony is last this gen so i dont think they can make anything compulsory anymore. As others have stated its probably MS also putting pressure on devs to make multi plats release the same. Best would be for Sony to make some kind of deal like they have been with the extra DLC for the top notch third party games like Portal 2. Why that game does not have Move support is beyond me because if ever there was a game that was born to use Move its Portal.

the story trailer shows they definitely are putting more into it this time, however it still came across as your typical cheesy hollywood action trailer that tries to intertwine story into the explosions.

"I will not bow to your authority"

*boom, bang! rackatatatatatatatataatatatatatat*

"this is crazy! this will never work!"

*slaps other person, BOOM! BANG!*

"i just can't take anymore of this! this has gone too far!!!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOM! Michael Bay-Splosion!! tatatatatatatatatatatatatat BOOM!*

"I will sieze control of the empire!"

*BOOM, BOOOOOOOOOOM!*

*spaceship crash and burn*

"and all will bow before me"

*punch/cut/BOOM/cut/grab by throat/cut BANG*
I think...I think that's what they were actually going for. GG has said for both KZ2 and KZ3 that they wanted to capture the Hollywood action war feel with the games, with the latter being more like Inglorious Basterds. The over the top aggression towards the Helghast certainly captures that mood nicely.

Trailer = Mission Accomplished.
