Killzone 3 is “properly f***ing nuts”

PSUNI: Now that’s a Brit statement if ever I read one. Killzone 3 was leaked to the web last week and now the press has ripped up their NDAs, thrown them in the bin and let loose with hands-on impressions.

[Dylantalon1]

best fps ever. ps3 is the future and the future is ps3

[Fishy Fingers]

And Bungie on the PS3. Give and take, everyones happy :)

[captain-obvious]

all i want them to do is to take the rocket launcher out of the multiplayer
and that's it

@ below
why bother blocking it
or looking for games that blocks it
just take it away
problem solved

EDIT again
"dont be noobish"
noob ?
yah im the one running with a rocket launcher in here
"some people enjoy the rockets"
and some PPL enjoy camping too
same thing

yah and one more thing
solve the problem of those smoke spawn points
PPL spawn camp on those like hell
that or take it a way too

EDIT @ Fishy
what's the point of keeping something Bad ??
if some like rockets
then there are some PPL that likes camping

so by you logic
they should make the maps more camping friendly in killzone3
to be fair right ?
i mean they gave those ppl that like rockets
they gave them rockets they also should give campers some love

Killzone is all about hardcore FPS
now running with a rocket launcher so you can get cheap and easy kills
is NOT hardcore

[LordMarius]

no, thats why you have the option to enter games that have block that class, dont be a party pooper

@above, some people enjoy the rockets, dont be noobish

"yah im the one running with a rocket launcher in here"
no you are the one running around in a battle that has rockets...

[Fishy Fingers]

He's right, why remove something some might want, just to accommodate those who dont bother to use the option to filter the search result?

I mean I didnt even like the rockets, but how hard is it to specify your search a little.

[captain-obvious]

"no you are the one running around in a battle that has rockets"

what if my friends where in that game ?
what if couldn't find a game with no rockets in it ?
what if i was not paying attention or i was looking for a quick game ?

heavy class should NOT be in killzone 3
the end

because those rocket launchers one of the main reasons why PPL stopped playing the game

don't get me wrong i played killzone 2 alot
and still do from time to time
but the game is not perfect
and i still think it takes too much to kill some one

[kneon]

The assault class and the rocket laucher have a purpose so they should stay. The problem is when it gets overused. I'd like to see more fine grained control in the multiplayer such that I don't have to block a class or weapon, instead I can limit how many each side can have.

So no more teams full of snipers on Pyrrhus Rise and no more teams full of rocket launchers on Radec Academy. With a reasonable limit set, these classes can be used as intended without ruining the game balance.

[BulletToothtony]

i totally agree with you..

the rocket launchers was the main reason why i stopped playing k2.. and yes the NO-Rocket launchers rooms were empty...

i think that if they wanted to have rocket launchers they should have only give 1 rocket or make them WWWAAAYYY inaccurate like in cod4 did with the rpgs.. it was just very hard to avoid them noobs specially with so many hallways..

[Kleptic]

I put over 40 hours for killzone 2 in the beta alone...and the BIGGEST complaint of everyone by far was the RL's...and they seemed to go completely unchanged for the release of the game, while nearly everything else was tweeked considerably...

it was later admitted that RL's were implemented, as well as the abilities of the assault class in general, for being an entirely anti-vehicle class...but we all know how that went, vehicles never made it, even though rumors were very strong for a while that they would come in DLC...

they did tweak the class though in a later update of the game...splash damage of the rocket launchers was addressed through various latency fixes...and the assault classes extra health was halved at some point...for me that made them much more acceptable...

but I don't know what some of you mean...In almost every game I played RL's were turned off, even if it wasn't mentioned in the server name...assault was usually available but with the much more fair grenade launcher than either RL...

my point was always that a class based game isn't balanced if the most formidable enemy team is a team all playing one class...Ever play a clan match against 16 assault players all with RLs?...and of course nerds like that play with team killing off too...absolutely 100% unbeatable unless your team did the exact same thing...and then the entire match is far from fun...nothing gets accomplished...it deteriorates the entire class system when one is so blatantly over powered like that...the classes are supposed to ALL be needed to accomplish the mission objectives...but who needs a tactician for spawn points on even the biggest maps when you can boost across the entire thing in just 15 seconds? Why would you need a medic when you are out of ammo after 3 shots?...half of them just suicide themselves anyway just to respawn with ammo...what are turrets going to do against players with considerable extra health and only one shot from their rocket launcher will remove the turret?...what the hell is a sniper going to do when it takes at least 2 shots to drop one, and the dead on accuracy of a rocket that will sail across the map in a straight line to take him out?...even after the tweaks, what i said holds...there is NO WAY to beat a full team of RL equipped assaults with anything but a full team of assaults beside you...thats a deal breaker...

only other complaint i had with multiplayer was the buggy headshots from turrets...standing higher than an enemy turret guaranteed a headshot...every time...players learned to put them at the bottom of stairs, or beneath the bridge at the market, and almost every time the turret would land a headshot on its third shot...

add to that the broken points system...with a headshot counting as '2' kills for some unknown reason...and it made it simply weird...

still my favorite fps of this generation without question...small things to fix too...if their are vehicles in killzone 3 multiplayer...the assault will be awesome...and actually make sense...

[Swiftfox]

I also felt the assault class needed a bit of a tweak for multiplayer, since most players just ran around with one of any 2 rocket launcher choices. Removing the smaller one would be my first suggestion as the point of them currently is "anti-bot".

For the larger one, the assault class should be forced to "take-a-knee" which would take a second or two, then they would bring up a targeting scope which would add another second or two. That way the assuault couldn't just run around and fire from the hip at others, and it wouldn't effect it's usefullness against bots at range.

Personally, I've had more of a problem with head-shots. I don't mind the player being rewarded for making shots to the head, however, the pure annoyance of a headshot (usually at random) is a bit frustrating especially from bots. I'd rather see head shot kills be removed entirely save for the Sniper Rifle (which in turn would not be able to one shot on body shots). Other weapons would just have increased damage when you target the head. A direct raise in everyones health would have to happen, but I feel this would also encourage team shooting rather than the rampant "lone-wolfism" I see in most online matches.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

everybody just report darkmurder as spam

[Kingdom Come]

Funny Dylantalon, I wasnt aware you'd played the game, and therefore were able to call it the "best fps ever"...

[nveenio]

Killzone 2 is the best I've played (intensity and realism...not story). I think that's what he means.

[sikbeta]

KZ3 = Day One...

[Anarki]

I agree.

Sony are starting to get into their own now... There exclusives are far better than any other on any other gaming system - including Nintendo.

[Socrates]

That's your opinion. I don't happen to share it. I really like a couple such as Uncharted 2 and GOW3, and to a lesser extent Killzone 2, but other than that most of the PS3 exclusives haven't really appealed to me.

[Anorexorcist]

Good for Guerilla to hold onto their individuality and to not give into all the COD fanboy p*ssing contests complaining of how hard KZ2 was to control. They didn't cave under the criticisms from the mainstream FPS lightweights, which is what happened to Insomniac and Resistance 2.

The melee system was clumsy and not as efficient as I would have liked it in KZ2. The new "brutal" melee system is one of my personal top interests in the sequel.

[Fishy Fingers]

I think it's been changed slightly, I think it was IGN who commented on the controls, more precise, sharper. Something along those lines, familiar, but refined.

If I were a betting man, I'd say it will end up playing more like Bad company, than COD. Weighty, yet responsive.

[Kleptic]

yeah it will never 'feel' like CoD mostly because of the framerate...thats not a negative thing, but CoD's PC like twitchy'ness and speed comes from its 60fps...you cant reel around like that in 30fps shooters without getting completely disoriented...

sadly though thats what a lot of players both don't understand, yet still want...so when other shooters feel 'heavy', they are not satisfied...with my setup i never once noticed or disliked the lag or whatever some where complaining about...I did notice that the dead zones were fairly large before the 1.27 patch with 'precision aiming'...but I was still fine with it, and appreciated its feel...So unless some how GG has figured out how to optimize killzone 2's engine to run at 60fps and keep all the ridiculous visuals and then some...it will never have the pacing of cod...

BFBC2 definitely has it down though imo...I agree with fishy fingers...I'm not saying I want killzone 3 to feel more like some other shooter...if it was exactly the same as killzone 2, i would still be thrilled...but would be tired of hearing everyone else complain about it every time they get shot in the face...

[HolyOrangeCows]

KZ2 is one of my favorite games this gen because the AI and difficulty is so perfect.

[Greywulf]

Yep. Its a great frustration level, its not too cheesy. Its like you're playing some asshole online.

[Mr Tretton]

RPG has it's place, and I don't even use it. I could own harder with the ISA rifle, the shotgun, or the single shot rifle than the RPG. You can't go on a 15 kill streak with an RPG, but you could do that with the ISA rifle.

It's all perception. And people with wussy perception are the ones crying about the RPG. Grow a pair.

[Kleptic]

agreed...saboteur in the mine with an STA 11...people paid hard...

I stand by the problem with assault though...when you run into an entire enemy team using assault with RL's...you won't touch them...you definitely still pick a few off occasionally, but a 'balanced' team could never win an overall match by going toe to toe with a fleet of assaults...which was the only broken part of kz2's multiplayer imo....

[NatalmovesU]

Jet-packs in KZ3 is totally copying Halo:reach multiplayer, and KZ3 has less colors than Gears 1!!!!

[arakouftaian]

are so hype and amazed by KILLZON3
most of them hate KILLZONE 2 even the ones
that give this game reviews of 9s hate it

im glad they are excited like we the gamers are.
KILLZONE 3 will belong the gamers
( KILLZONE 2 was to stfu the haters)

[Kingdom Come]

Illiterate much?

[UnwanteDreamz]

My guess is he used a translator.

[mirroredderorrim]

tha gramur poleez iz srs bzniz.

[UnwanteDreamz]

It's all about hits. How many times have these sites hyped a game and then when it releases they call it sh*t.

[nveenio]

I'll agree in concept, but don't forget that Killzone 2 has already proven itself.

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

Don't hate.

[NYC_Gamer]

i still have to buy killzone 2....

[NecrumSlavery]

What?

Killzone 2 was a winner and a half. Every moment was pure intensity. It is truly the most realistic war game I have ever played. But KZ2 lacked the deep story that we all wanted. It showed the War, but hopefully KZ3 will show the story behind the madness. ND working with GG should resolve that.

[nefertis]

I cant wait until e3. Playb3yond

[CR-Y-SIS]

I wish the Xbox 360 have this great franchise.

[Kingdom Come]

Its ok, we've got Gears of War!
Although, with also owning a PS3 I will be pickin up this title at some point after I have played Gears non-stop for a few years... :P
Killzone 2 was great fun, no doubts the same will occur with the 3rd, looks like its gonna be a great E3 for all consoles, Spread the Love!

[bloodybutcher]

hey!what are you doing?this is n4g, fanboy universe, go away with your love! bastard.:D on a serious note-i'm trying not to get my hype to high.having too big expectations can leave you disappointed...so i'll just wait for this game to come out to judge.

[Kain81]

My people, sons and daughters of Sony. This much I vow.The history of this console generation will be written in blood.By crushing the fanboys of our enemy. By releasing the best game in the genre they thought to use against us.. we are fighting for our consoles very existence.But if there are those who want to deny us enjoyment. Refuse us our rightful place in this console generation. Then we will unleash such a terribly awesome FPS that generations of xbros yet unborn will cry out in anguish!

-break-

The enemy may shatter our sales but they can not break our spirit. Even now they advance on our metacritic gamesections to troll by force what they cannot claim by right. They cannot imagine what awaits them.WE WILL SMITE THE XBROS WITH THIS GAME.Though they sweep over our forums like the trolls of summer vacation. Never again will we be trolled by them; Never again endure their jealousy; Never again endure their lies and oppression. We will enjoy ourselves for hours without caring; playing as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares. Drenching our ancestors PS2's with their blood.And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as they try to rise again from the ruins of their RROD:ed consoles......they will know, Killzone 2 belongs to the Playstation 3.

[alphakennybody]

LOL!! I remember seeing a similar post, when the intro of kz2 was leaked.

[young juice]

whats that from?

[bloodybutcher]

it's from kz2 intro:) scholar visari's speech.

[rezzah]

XD thats so awesome.

[Croaker]

That first part of your comment was hilarious.

[deafwing]

oh my this made me cry with laughter .. where did you get that! LOL

[SephireX]

Lol well written. KZ3 will be the holy grail of this generation. Forget about fanboyism and trolling. Just enjoy the games! Everyone owes it to themselves to play KZ2. If you haven't done so already, go get it now! Its the best FPS this generation imo and I think KZ3 can be the only game to strip it of its crown. At least KZ2's crown will be taken in 3D!

[chazjamie]

oh my word, that was brillant, i got goosebumps. yes its supposed to be funny, but thats how i feel about my playstation....sometimes.

[spektical]

day one buy for me

[unrealgamer58]

second 1

[Hanilugtehul]

gt5+kz3=ive got to get me a 3dtv:-)

[ApocalypseShadow]

i remember the doubters of the target render.

i remember when sony released a killzone2 picture then the video that shot across the internet.

i remember how the final game was improved over what we saw a year earlier in the pre-alpha footage.

now we stand looking at a game that will eclipse the second game and go 3D.

and people still doubt the power underneath the hood.GG went from obscure to leading graphics powerhouse.and all because of ps3 and sony funding.

every ps3 gamer who like fps(s) will be killzon3d.

[Ares84PS3]

We get it, it will be awesome but I think it's enough alerady. There is no "new" news about it since it's been announced so let's just wait for more info.

[deafwing]

sites are just taking pieces of what other sites have said ... it's the one problem with online journalism.

[BannedForNineYears]

PS3, it only does "f***ing nuts" games.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

''“It’s a very immediate thing. The controls are the same. I just picked it up and started playing it. The particle effects and general level of detail were properly f***ing nuts.”''

Amazing, better than KZ2.

[Jac5al]

HAZE 2 HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED!

[SuperStrokey1123]

can we please how open section brought back so we dont need to hear this garbage anymore?

[Ju]

Actually, Haze2 running on CryEngine3 could be a real KZ contender. But, what a comment...suicidal much ?

[deafwing]

u shall perish for this comment (LMFAO)

[bviperz]

KZ3 is beyond "properly f***ing nuts"

[jalen247]

I expect greatness from Killzone 3 and I know Sony will deliver.

[xTHRASHx]

I love how Killzone is now like the PS3's Jesus. I remember when i used to talk to Sony fans about Killzone 1 and how great it was and how they would rip me... nowadays Killzone is the gem of the Sony lineup.

[Bolts]

Why shouldn't it be and it's not only the PS3 either. The Killzone franchise set the bar for the best looking FPS period. If it weren't for the console exclusivity Killzone 3 would give Crysis 2 a run for it's money on the PC too.

[JustV]

The title of this article is so weird for some reason. Every time I read the word "properly" I keep seeing "probably" cuz its not out yet! LOL

[yogaflame]

well kz2 has a average of 91 in metacritics , and thats awesome, so those who are saying kz2 sucks then just look at that score http://www.metacritic.com/g...

I just hope it will not be so late, maybe December 2010 or January. With this type of game and ps3 power, who needs ps4 and we dont need it yet we enjoy ps3 and more games to come.

[Re-versed]

unfairly downgraded by the well known anti-PS sites like edge...Anything below a solid 9 for kz2,when you keep in mind that you rate a fps(so im not talking about reviewers that has other genre tastes),is a joke...Thw quality is higher than any other shooter simple as that...Im no fanboy im just stating facts...

[prettyboy1]

day 1 for me as well

[Morituri]

If you die while in assault class, it takes you 2 minutes to respawn?
What do you guys say to that?

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Id rather they just give Assault an LMG especially after the WASP rearing it's head once again.

[DannyVenom]

*laughs at 360-only owners*

[BABY-JEDI]

For Killzone 3. Any of you guys want to start guessing how they are going to mark this? -3 for 3d seem's a good start LoL

[jjesso1993]

well i cant wait for it whats even better I bought sony bravia but it broke and I got refund so iam geting 3d tv soon looking at a Samsung LE40C750
