IGN - Killzone 3 Jungle Video Preview

Developer Guerilla's Killzone franchise isn't known for being very colorful. From its PS2 debut to its PSP iteration to the upcoming Killzone 3, the team behind the franchise seems determined to paint war as the ugly act it is.

theonlylolking4856d ago

This game just looks so amazing. Best shooter of 2011 I say so far.

King_many_layers4856d ago

I personally agree that the game looks amazing. i'm really pleased that they didn't add to much colour to these areas also. I want their world to stay bleak and keep me immersed (unlike R2's over saturation)

the guy whose dubbed this video however needs to get his head out of his bottom and stop sounding like such a whiner from around 1:20 onwards.

ForceCSW4856d ago

I know all that the commenter in the video does is complain about Killzone's colour pallet, it's called atmosphere buddy.

Pixelated_Army4856d ago (Edited 4856d ago )

IGN can always find something negative to complain about when it comes to a PS3 title. It never fails!

IGN is the equivalent of debbie downer in the gaming industry. lol

What i see : Guerrilla is spoiling KZ again.

They've done it for KZ2, they spoiled best moments in the game and when i played it, no more surprise, zero fun.

And now, once again they are doing it...

Oh, and this jungle...Man, i prefer say nothing...
Too much hype kill the hype

Bathyj4856d ago

disturbing_flame, the only sensible thing you said was you prefer to say nothing and then you didnt even follow your own advice.

I also am glad even though this section is more colourful they stuck to the feel of the world and didn't just splash gay purple and green everywhere. Its colourful but muted, even the jungle is wartorn.

What impressed me most is the opportunity for stealth. Seems like you can approach an area however you want and play gungho or sneaky like. That what I love in a game and that what shows off good AI.

sobekflakmonkey4856d ago

too be honest i expected a little more from that level, im still excited to play it for myself, but yeah...just watching that made me a little less excited...

Washington-Capitals4856d ago

Sorry, resistance 3 will be the most improved and imo best shooter of 2011.

Buho4856d ago (Edited 4856d ago )

If R3 is anything like Fall Of Man, then the best Shooter of 2011 will be Resistance 3. Killzone 3 looks amazing though. Both games are must buys for ALL PS3 owners.

LOL at the disagrees, show yourselves Xbox cowards!

Resistance 2 was a great game, but it felt more like a Sci-fi COD game. 8 player Online Co-op was a blast! I liked Resistance:Fall Of Man because it felt unique.

Downtown boogey4856d ago

I think Resistance 3 will be better than KZ3, too...
But I think R2 is still vastly better than Fall of Man, though not as original, I must admit.

4856d ago
King_many_layers4856d ago

I can't wait to see what they will demonstrate of resistance 3 next week, the animation and re-instated colour pallete have really brought the game back to life for me.
It's really getting a little difficult to keep up with everything coming out in this year. All these brilliant games coming out (multiplatform and exclusive) only for the NGP to come along looking like it's going to be delivering these same awesome games.

dabri54856d ago

I wouldn't call that a jungle. Game looks great though. Very polished looking. Main difference I see is that there seems to be a ton of stuff happening on screen at any given time. Makes the environments feel much more alive.
I like how they keep showing how you can kill people with single hits now. I hated that part about the game before. You shoot an enemy in the head and unless it was a sniper rifle or high explosive, it didn't insta-kill them. Didn't really allow for slower more stealthy gameplay. This does.

xAlmostPro4856d ago

I agree, i think all games should have 1 hit kill headshots with every weapon, it's only right, and in the games that do headshots feel far more rewarding and worth the effort :)

Biggest4856d ago

No offense, but it isn't up to you. It's called a jungle.

King_many_layers4856d ago

did you not find it fun to pop off their helmets and follow up with a headshot ??

Seijoru4856d ago

Anyone notice how not excited the IGN guy was. The pricks will probably give the game an 8.

FinalSpartan4856d ago (Edited 4856d ago )

don't be sad if they do, these days there are plenty of shooters, has to do somthing amazing and innovative. Killzone 3 looks awesome, but nothing that we haven't seen before. Stealth missions we were just showed. We did that plenty of times before in shooters. So nothing new. But somthing atleast new to Killzone.

Eyeco4856d ago

god knows why your getting disagrees for something that is so undeniable, KZ2 is gonna be a great game without a doubt, but with that said its not exactly bringing anything new to the table, in fact alot of the things that KZ3 is doing over KZ2 have been in shooters for YEARS its not doing anything new.

Sevir044856d ago

LOL! really? you guys kill me with this innovation crap. it's a fucking shooter, FPS there is nothing innovative about FPS because the gameplay is point and shoot no matter what point the game you are in. So with that said. a FPS doesn't need to be innovative, it just needs to be Tight in aiming and do the shooting better than those that did it before> You dont have to invent the wheel, just make a wheel that performs well. and thats what KZ3 has done! It's fixed the issues of the one prior and now it's doing it's core mechinic well!

I swear reviewers and fankids who harp this game because of it's less than stellar first entry want this game to be the one that cures cancer really bug me.

Appreciate the game for what it is and stop harping it for what it isn't a shooter that doesn't do your dirty laundry and wash your car and do your tax returns. wait No other shooter does not even HALO or COD, or any game for that matter. Shooters aren't Innovative, never have been and never will be. what it is, is developers perfecting the mechanics to make shooting feel far more visceral and natural and fun in shooting games and that's what matters.

FinalSpartan4856d ago

Looks great! But for a second i thought going to see Crysis ( PC ) graphical jungles, Still in tone with the Killzone colour style. Atleast not too much grey.

Schism204856d ago

Wats that @ 1:24 you did not earn a trophy? Is it because its a reviewer copy or somethin?

GamerSciz4856d ago

Helghast and a Jungle that is no one's friends. Well that sounds like tons of fun. I expect multiplayer in that kind of map to be a ton of fun. Day 1 buy for sure. Way to go GG.

AutoCad4856d ago

Looks good , but i doubt it will be Shooter of the Year.

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

1Victor370d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar370d ago

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

jznrpg370d ago

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

badz149370d 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!

Vengeance1138370d 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 Kim370d ago

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

VersusDMC370d 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?

Vengeance1138370d ago

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

solideagle370d 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.

Phoenix76370d 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

thesoftware730370d ago (Edited 370d 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.

blacktiger370d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca370d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy370d ago (Edited 370d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal370d ago

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

Imalwaysright370d ago

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

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

MadLad1121d 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.

Applejack1121d 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_B1121d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1121d 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.

1121d ago
Vegamyster1121d 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.

SinkingSage1121d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1121d ago (Edited 1121d 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 Kim1121d ago

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

MadLad1120d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1121d 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.

Magatsuhi1121d ago

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

Binarycode1121d ago

2 is the better game.

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

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_vulgaris1299d 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.
