.1 better than Uncharted 2 and the GT team don't stop talking about how awesome U2 was (Which is odd why they'd score MW2 higher... but... meh).

Really looking forward to this.

Istanbull4845d ago (Edited 4845d ago )

All these incoming great scores for KZ3 will put IGN with their 8.5 in shame, they rated Black Ops higher.

Great review from GameTrailers, their GT5 and LBP2 reviews were good too.

HappyGaming4844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

I am extremely nit picking in this comment just to let you know.

I am kind of annoyed at GG now.
It turns out the story isn't as good as everything else in the game and I always like a strong story in my games which is why I enjoyed UC2 and MGS4 more than KZ2.

The story should be the easy part. This guys got everything spot on and perfect with KZ3 gameplay/multiplayer/presentat ion and than they let themselves down by warping it all up with a mediocre story?

Why?

However it looks like they fixed almost everything that people asked them to fix from KZ2 so I hope KZ4 will fix the final last flaw.

Again even with no story KZ3 is amazing I loved the BETA but I don't know... because it is so amazing I think it is sad to get such a "basic" score on something like the story.
----------------------------- ----------------------
Edit: Just looked at why some websites gave it a low score and the most common reason seams to be this:

-Fans of Killzone 2 will love the improved multiplayer, but may find that the single-player side of things has lost a lot of its identity.

-it fundamentally plays more like a formulaic Call Of Duty clone than a successor to the current generations most intense, visceral FPS.

-but it no longer offers a distinct change of pace from the rest of the shooter herd

This seems to be the most important down side :S
Weird how Call of Duty games get rated high but Call of Duty games with similar story modes better graphics and better online get rated lower... double standards me thinkz.

One review complained about your team mates being able to revive you... yet they complained in KZ2 when your team mates couldn't revive you but you could revive them.

*facepalm*

considering that GT is very anti PS3 site then this game must be incredible, they gave Uncahrted 2 a 93

Killzone 3 might get an even higher metacritic score than LBP2

Simon_Brezhnev4845d ago

the world must ending them giving killzone 3 this score

jack_burt0n4845d ago

Keighley does his best to keep bias BS to a minimum imo.

Raendom4845d ago

Keighley doesn't write the reviews man.

BlackHairyTongue4845d ago

He's right. The guys from Invisible Walls like Shane and Bloodworth write the reviews. I like GT and usually go by their reviews. I never found them bias and they always give a good explanation on IW why they gave the score they did.

ITA_Mafia_Boy4845d ago

For those of us who enjoyed KZ2 both Single Player and multiplayer is a review score needed to buy this game ?
Sales of KZ3 will exceed the ones of KZ2 ....
Peace !

jack_burt0n4844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

Why dont people come in this article to argue about all the low crappy scores the other sites have given killzone!? how the hell does this review not make the fron frigging page.

@Raendom
I never said he did, Keighley has a huge input on the running of gametrailers. Did you really not know that?

visualb4844d ago

eugh....I hate gametrailers reviews...

I hope this is an exception

HOLY CRAP they broke their 9.3 jinx with KZ3 lol!!!

M-Easy4845d ago

Did not see this coming from them. A great game is a great game.

guigsy4845d ago

Maybe this is a lesson in not blacklisting a website whenever they score a game below your expectations. They're not fanboys, intent on taking down your beloved console, they're game reviewers with opinions.

M-Easy4845d ago

Oh believe me they're still blacklisted from me.

HappyGaming4844d ago

They might have given KZ3 the score it deserve just so they can give RE3 UC3 and all the other games a 7 and say... we are not fanboys we game KZ3 a good score remember?

/jk

redDevil874845d ago

i laughed when i saw that, i bet they wrote that score down with sweaty palms and cold shivers lol

mushroomwig4845d ago (Edited 4845d ago )

I nearly spat my coffee out when I saw the score, watching it now.

9.4 is a fantastic score although I'm sad at the storymode score, I'm the type of gamer who cares more about the singleplayer experience rather than the multiplayer.

liveActionLeveler4845d ago

Actually they said the same thing about the story for Killzone 2 and I thought that single player was fantastic, so I expect no less from the 3rd game.

fooltheman4845d ago

The story has more flesh though

Redempteur4845d ago

it's very surprising since they gave 9.7 to the controls ..

can't waitto try the beta with my move

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4845d ago (Edited 4845d ago )

This is weird, Gametrailers have a better review than Videogamer site?

Wow.

Anyway, Killzone 3 is a must have.

Great score!! Totally off topic but does anyone else think those "moms" in that dead space 2 commercial look more like Grandmas?!

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

1Victor367d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar367d ago

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

jznrpg366d ago

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

badz149366d 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!

Vengeance1138367d 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 Kim367d ago

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

VersusDMC367d 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?

Vengeance1138367d ago

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

solideagle367d 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.

Phoenix76367d 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

REDGUM366d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730367d ago (Edited 367d 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.

blacktiger366d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca367d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal366d ago

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

Imalwaysright366d ago

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

bouzebbal1117d ago

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

MadLad1118d 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.

Applejack1118d 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_B1118d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1118d 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.

1118d ago
Vegamyster1117d 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.

SinkingSage1117d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1117d ago (Edited 1117d 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 Kim1118d ago

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

MadLad1117d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1117d 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.

Magatsuhi1117d ago

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

Binarycode1117d 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_vulgaris1295d 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.
