Interesting. The Alpha looks only mildly better/even with Killzone 2, where as the Beta exceeds it greatly.

hazardman4887d ago

yeah thats what i was thinking looking at the pre alpha pics looks like KZ2, Guerilla has made some great improvements..man i really hope this game does well. I bought KZ2 and all map packs only to realize there wasn't that many people playing online, but when you do get to play man the game is awesome.

nveenio4886d ago

Killzone 2/3 are the best looking console shooters we've got available to us (and I'm sure Crysis won't change that). But in this instance and with other games, I always like the Alpha footage better. I think the textures are crisper. In this example, the draw distance in Beta is better, but it seems like they took out some of the lens effects. I think what happens is that they start Alpha code strong, but as they develop their ideas get bigger and they have to start making textures smaller and models more "optimized" in order to get their ideas working. In KZ3's case, though, they were using KZ2 assets, so the assets improved making other engine "refinements" (in order to make way for 3D, split-screen, etc) less noticeable.

deafwing4886d ago

just want a great experience overall, sometimes taking a pretty girl on a date doesn't always bring full benefits; they have to be top notch in all facets

SnuggleBandit4887d ago

If anything eljugador is a ps3 fanboy people...he just doesnt like gamersmint apparently.

MisfitSmurf4886d ago

TBH it just looks like they got rid of the yellow tint for a purple-ish one.

i laughed my a** off at Jugador being called xbox/pc fanboy.

STONEY44886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

It looks more like the second set was taken off-screen, resulting in a color difference. You can tell by the parts where a bright light is showing, it looks like camera over-exposure.

heroprotagonist4886d ago

Yep, I see a difference in color palette, but little else. The game still looks great, but I think people are seeing what they want to see.

Delt44886d ago

Karooo- i was thinking the same thing. Stunning! I can't wait to get my hands on the final build.

shotgun_ps34886d ago

That is more or less exactly what I was saying and it's great to, finally, see a comparison of the same shots.

Dsnyder4886d ago

Just when you think it cant look better!

Vherostar4886d ago

More proof that people only care about graphics these days.. A shame really as gameplay matters to me more than graphics. Not saying Killzone won't have it and I am buying day 1 for the co-op elements etc but the graphics ain't the reason I am buying this game. Ask Bungie as great as people think Halo looks it was never meant to be a great looking game it was meant to be accessible and that helps sales massively.

the_best_player4886d ago

I really like how the body moves when shot at, the animation is amazing. I've never seen any other game with that realistic impact that the bullets do.

Killzone has the gameplay, amazing animation and high graphics.
Day 1 buy for me.

a big improvement, although the pics dont do the game justice, too small and very grainy

beavis4play4886d ago

yea - the game videos i've seen are jaw-droppingly amazing.

I think I need help here. What are the differences other than the brightness?

Huge improvement IMO much more color in the beta code.

CobraKai4886d ago

I love how they made it more colorful.

StarScream4Ever4887d ago

Man look at those improve lightings and colors. 8D

Arup024887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

I only see info about the graphics.What are the other improvements in relation to KZ2? (This is a question, im only curious)

StarScream4Ever4887d ago

Control response improved.
Gameplay and weapons tweaks.
Variety for weapons.
Longer campaign *hopefully*
Different environments on Helghan.
And more!

zeksta4887d ago

You forgot.

Split Screen Co-op, Exoskeleton Vehicle in MP and possible Dual Login for PSN Users

hesido4887d ago

With all these improvements, I think I'm going to puke if any journalist criticizes KZ3 for being much of the same of KZ2.

Imaginary quote:
"Aside from improved graphics, controls, gameplay, more weapons, more single player, more variety in environments, split screen co-op, more vehicles, 3d support; KZ3 is much the same as KZ2, I'd have expected more from GG."

zaz124887d ago

you have also forgot the new melee attack system

beavis4play4886d ago

don't forget the COOL melee kills. i'm using them as much as possible!

MrAwesome4886d ago

3D
Move
Better Dialouge(according to GG)

Dr-Zoidberg4885d ago

Deeper story line about the helghast
Battlefield Bad Company 2 style dynamic sound
Smarter AI
More enemy types

Lol at Arup02's really cautious stance not to get disagrees for his first comment. Oh, the ways of N4G.

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

1Victor368d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar368d ago

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

jznrpg368d ago

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

badz149368d 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!

Vengeance1138368d 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 Kim368d ago

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

VersusDMC368d 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?

Vengeance1138368d ago

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

solideagle368d 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.

Phoenix76368d 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

thesoftware730368d ago (Edited 368d 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.

blacktiger368d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca368d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy368d ago (Edited 368d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal368d ago

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

Imalwaysright368d ago

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

bouzebbal1119d ago

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1119d 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.

Applejack1119d 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_B1119d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1119d 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.

1119d ago
Vegamyster1119d 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.

SinkingSage1119d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1119d ago (Edited 1119d 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 Kim1119d ago

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

MadLad1118d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1119d 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.

Magatsuhi1119d ago

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

Binarycode1119d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1119d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1297d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
