hey anyone notice the delayed reaction of death?

chewy3175659d ago

1) its a beta, and its bound to be fixed
2) Its delayed by like? erm... 0.3 sec???
3) They look like they are not dead yet but as soon as u see the death animations, theyre dead, and the death animations tend to be quite long...

jkhan5659d ago

Yeah I saw what you mean. There was a bit of lag as well. Well its a beta so hopefully all these small issues will be ironed out by them. The game even in that youtube video looks beautiful as ever.

jwatt5659d ago

Yea I was like what was thaty but that was some nice no scoping and the graphics look serious.

Harri44445659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

they have the same problem with cod4. but this is beta and the developing team will have nothing to do but iron out those last few problems.

Megaton5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

It's a gameplay mechanic, but I really can't go into detail. Get into the beta, you'll understand, or ask the guy who took the footage, he's already gonna get banned. Think CoD4 Last Stand, but with a different purpose.

Edit - 1.6 knows.

chewy3175659d ago

yes u do die, its just that in 10 seconds after ure shot down, u can be revived by a medic.

sunnygrg5659d ago

The sound of that sniper rifle is fukn sweet. And yes, I did see the delayed reaction of death. There is still 4 months till the release death to fix the bugs and it will be so awesome. Hope I get into the beta somehow, anyhow.

Ju5659d ago

Well, gameplay mechanic...can't believe that. Yeah, Ok, the death anim can be delayed somewhat, but it's a bug if you got shot at from 10ft with a sniper rifle and the corps doesn't take of like a rocket. There shouldn't be any delay in that case. That's what's happening in the video, though. Visuals are impressive, though. Like always.

Megaton5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

The slow reaction time to bullets is lag, and not flying across the screen from a sniper shot is pretty standard unless you're playing something with ridiculous ragdoll physics.

Not dying after being shot down is the gameplay mechanic.

Ju5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

Ah, OK. Nah, but it can't be lag, either. Impact happens immediately (you can see the blood), but the ragdoll physics is delayed. Lag would delay the impact as well.

BTW. Can you revive someone who got shot but isn't dead yet ?

Proxy5659d ago

Your PS3 renders the blood, because it knows the bullet hit. However, your PS3 doesn't show the dead body until the other PS3 says 'I'm dead'.

The blood is nothing but a visual effect and it doesn't matter if everyone is seeing the same blood splatter at the same time. However, body positions is important and the game must stay in sync, everyone must see the bodies in their proper place, and this can be affected by lag.

Ju5659d ago

I still hope this is not the case, even though what you say might make sense. I would rather adjust the position on the body on the ground but prefer a fluid animation from impact including the fall. Be body on the ground would certainly jump in case of lag, but not interrupt the animation. I know there'll be always an effect thru lag to some extend.

n4gzz5659d ago

Killzone 2 is my most anticipated game after LBP this generation. This games looks very promising. I wish, I was in beta.

Player sucks by the way :D

San anto5659d ago

fanboys are already rating this down on metacritic, fucckin bstrds

swissarmyshank5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

@1.14

It's Metacritic. Who cares? If you've played the game or watched it online you should know how good it is, and you shouldn't have to go to Metacritic to look up the score, should you? I'm not saying this cause I'm a 360 guy (I'm not - PS3 rules), but you complaining about it just makes them feel better about lowering the ratings.

Now about the game. Graphics and lighting look great as always. As for the player, yeah he could have been better. But props to him for risking getting banned for releasing this.

No Way5658d ago (Edited 5658d ago )

Yah.. There was a delay in the death. But, it's only a beta, so hopefully that will be fixed before the game is set to be released.

bpac1234567895658d ago

im definitely gonna have to pick this up in 09'

marinelife95658d ago

I'm still amazed at how good just the Multiplayer looks.

CrippleH5659d ago

HOLY!!!

Look at the details of that baby and that beautiful lighting.

Even the zooming kept the immersion.

Chubear5659d ago

The lighting in this game is simply ridiculous! Good Lord, and this is the franchise editorial reviewers tried to kill off on the PS2? Wow, had they succeeded it would have sucked not to be able to play KZII like it is now.

I remember KZ1 was treated as the Lair of last gen but the PS fanbase still went out and supported this game, especially our EU gaming brothers & sisters, and look at our reward. This is frikgen glorious.

Lord Anubis5659d ago

the guy doesn't watch his corners

rifle sounds like a 50 cali

ParaDise_LosT5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

I swear to god lol, that rifle looks so good...
playing MP will be a hassle cuz your gonna be staring at your gun going OMG AWESOME them boom, you get headshot

I'll really be suprised if KZ2 doesn't get GotY next year...
or atleast Greatest FPS of the year...

jkhan5659d ago

Best shooter of the year = Yes
Best Multiplayer experience = Yes
GOTY = NO : Contendar = Yes (because FF-xiii, heavy rain, BioShock 2, and other games like MassEffect2 and if rumors are true Uncharted 2). So the chances are stiff. Out of all the above games it will come down to BioShock2, FF-XIII (if they don't screw it up), Heavy Rain and BioShock2.

chewy3175659d ago

@jkhan

GOTY= highly possible, in case you dont know, killzone 2's single player campaign is gonna be epic. but yea it is true that there are other good games as well

TheSadTruth5659d ago

For those of you who think this will be Goty, look at Killzone 1's single player

anyways, I love the graphics and atmosphere

catchnvampire5659d ago

Killzone or no Killzone....
2009 GOTY, By the Gods!! Belongs to Kratos.... ;)

pixelsword5659d ago

...In K1, the cutscenes were of very high quality and set the pace and tone of the game well; and since the PSP version of Killzone, I am very confident in GG's ability to make K2 a solid title.

(speaking of Killzone: Liberation, below I have the beginning clip for that game, once again done very well).

Granted, some of the game mechanics needed a little tweaking, but still overall K1 was a very good game. People still play the online on the PS2 (including me).

If I were to gripe about anything, it was

1. The sniper rifle

The sniper rifle on that game was the worst sniper rifle ever in any game. when you zoomed in, you had a limited movement range within the zoom, and if you tried to turn, you'd be knocked right out of it. Whomever programmed that part should be slapped with an old fish.

2. AI went to crap when you went into melee range.

At a distance, the AI was really good, but when you tried to melee, the AI seemed like it got stuck into "close up" mode at times.

jay35659d ago

Yes, I too believe games I have never played to be the best of the genre they are based in.

I also know for fact that they are better than any other game I have yet to play.

It's simple facts.

No Way5658d ago (Edited 5658d ago )

Don't you think it's a tad bit early to make such assumptions?

Do you know what happens when you assume.. hmm?

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi5659d ago

...Micro$oft need another Price cut in February 2009!!! ;-D

Pain5659d ago

1.2 -
lmfao. r u Xbots that Jealous???

fixed.

larry5658d ago

Killzone 2 will give x360 the final deathblow in february
RIP flop box 360

The Tour Man5658d ago

A price cut wont help for MS anymore, they'll finally realize that their torrentbox .360 is a last generation console and will raise the white flag. Then they will ditch the console and the owners and make another torrentbox. Although people like teh cell will never realize that the xbox is a last generation console because they are manipulated by Microcock.

chewy3175658d ago (Edited 5658d ago )

dude, microsoft is NOT making money with each xbox sold. its losing money just as the ps3 is. a xbox 360 cost price is higher than $199.plus theres rrod to consider.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro46d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7246d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_46d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga46d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2346d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200046d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin46d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole46d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix46d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198946d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198946d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar351d ago

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

1Victor350d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar350d ago

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

jznrpg350d ago

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

badz149350d 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!

Vengeance1138350d 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 Kim350d ago

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

VersusDMC350d 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?

Vengeance1138350d ago

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

solideagle350d 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.

Phoenix76350d 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

thesoftware730350d ago (Edited 350d 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.

blacktiger350d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca350d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal350d ago

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

Imalwaysright350d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183722d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183722d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149722d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
