Is Killzone 3 Worth Trading In Microsoft for Sony?

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature article:

"February is going to be a pretty good month for Xbox 360 owners, between such upcoming releases as Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Bulletstorm and You Don’t Know Jack, along with the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles. Still, we can’t help but be a little jealous with PlayStation 3 owners. See, this month, they’re getting a big title of their own with the long-awaited Killzone 3, a game that is supposedly the most powerful game for the system to date. Yes, even more powerful than Gran Turismo 5."

Not trading in my 360 but will be playing the junk outta Killzone 3, gotta finish the second one first!

Dante1124863d ago

"AimNow, if you can afford a PlayStation 3, the question is – does Killzone 3 validate said purchase? Can one game really push the envelope on a long-standing genre? Well, to be honest, yes. Killzone 3 is impressive in nearly every aspect, between the multiplayer, the lengthened single player mode, the voice acting (you can never go wrong with Malcolm McDowell), the ridiculously varied gameplay (try out the jetpack sometime) and the insane graphics. If any game (aside from Uncharted 2) would make you drool in anticipation of possibly owning Sony’s machine, despite your fanboy stance, it would probably be this one."

Wow, Planetxbox360 actually gave KZ3 props.

UltimaEnder4863d ago

I think it looks like a great game, check out: http://www.planetxbox360.co...

Based on past experience, no game is worth abandoning a console for another one! Each console will have games that tempt you. Decide which one is best for you and try to get the other at a different time. All games drop in price as well as consoles.

So don't trade your 360 for a Ps3 and don't trade your Ps3 for a 360 in my opinion! Get both and enjoy the best of both worlds. It feels good to have a choice in which games you want to buy, instead of hating on a console because a particular game is not available on the one you chose.

Pixelated_Army4863d ago

They piggybacked off of KZ3 to peddle Bulletstrom and Cry2. lol

Please explain to us how your comment was a reply to UltimaEnder's comment?

Or do you just want your comment up high so everyone can see it?

gaffyh4863d ago

@Dante - Actually, PXbox360 has given props to several PS3 exclusives, which is quite good imo. It's nice to see a website that can give praise where it is deserved, without having to bash the competition.

On topic - No ONE game is worth getting rid of your console, you need to look at the whole lineup and decide if it really is for you. Killzone 3 looks and plays amazing (beta is awesome), but I would only get rid of my 360 if there were no games that I liked in the future lineup. But I like Gears, so I'm keeping it for now.

Boody-Bandit4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

@Led-Zepplin
And how is your comment any different?

On topic: Why would anyone get rid of a console they currently own just to play a game on a console they don't? Just buy that console and said game and have the best of both (or all) worlds.

@UltimaEnder, you still have not finished Killzone 2? Did you recently purchase a PS3 or did you never get around to completing it?

I am pumped for Killzone 3. This year has already started off with a bang and it is going to be one helluva ride all the way to 2012. Just finished Dead Space 2 today. Starting on LPB2 tomorrow while waiting on MvsC3 (12 days away), then a week later Killzone 3!

My wallet is already begging for mercy.

ShinMaster4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

I love how they pretend that THIS is the ONLY game probably worth getting a PS3 for.

LMFAO!

HappyGaming4863d ago

One game is not enough but...
if you like UC3 RE3 LBP2 KZ3 Infamous 2 Motorstorm 3 + all the games releasing on the 360 except from Gears 3 than what the hell are you doing with a 360?

the list goes on and on...

Bloodraid4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

I do find it funny that you went to a website to look up all the PS3 exclusives that are coming out this year, lmao...

Question though; why the hell would you put Ni No Kuni on there? It's JP only; so it's pointless to tell an English speaker that it's a reason to buy a console...

Edit: I have to laugh at the disagrees, honestly.

Eyeco4863d ago

"I do find it funny that you went to a website to look up all the PS3 exclusives that are coming out this year, lmao... "

why whats wrong with that ?

HappyGaming4863d ago

@Eyeco nothing wrong with it I doubt many people can remember all those exclusives there are too many of them this year.

PS3 owners are swimming in games seriously.

seinfan4862d ago

Of all the games listed, only Uncharted 3 is potential must-buy for me. Twisted Metal sounds like I can wait for my cousin to get it. The rest of those titles are rather uninteresting or require multiple players to be fun, so no point in me getting them. And I doubt you would get even half those games.

BattleAxe4862d ago

MGS4 is enough reason to trade in an xbox 360.

doa7664863d ago

the best looking game on the 360 is still the more than 2 years old Gears of War 2 and the Gears 3 appear to be making only the same small graphic improvements that the second gears made over the first, there's nothing on the 360 that looks better than 2007's Uncharted Drake Fortune, and nothing that comes close to Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 2, God of War 3 or Killzone 3

if you're hoping for a 360 game that can match the PS3 exclussives you should give up, they had more than five years, if it hasn't happened by now it's not going to happen, especcialy now that MS is putting all its efforts and resources to see casual Kinect and its shovelware

harrisk9544863d ago

Even Jim Sterling gave this game a 10! And that is amazing coming from him!

well it is a shooter and thats all MOST 360 fans care about. That is why they act like this is the only PS3 game worth getting.

HolyOrangeCows4863d ago (Edited 4862d ago )

Interesting form of damage control from Planetxbox360.com. Doing their very best to make sure people don't leave the Xbox 360, but trying to look legit by praising Killzone 3.

"There are still action options galore for your system, and all you have to do is shop around. True, none of them have the Helghast, but we’re 100 percent positive you’ll find something just as entertaining."

JetLyfe4204863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

Real good month... 360 owners have NOTHING to get excited about besides more MULTIplatform titles? lol

MIcrosoft should stop throwing away MILLIONS on bullshit DLC exclusivity and buy some devolpers, create new IP's, do SOMETHING!!

I almost feel bad for the hardcore gamer who has chosen to adopt xbox 360 as their flagship console, but then i realize any REAL hardcore gamer owns both systems. Microsoft reeled you suckers in and now all their effort will be put towards shitty kinect games.

I hope you guys like flopping around in the middle of your living room, because thats all MS is giving you to look forward to...

an interesting read, to hear praise from a site that openly favors another console. Unlike other sites who are still in the closet about it

Both systems have good games. Silly article trying to start a fanboy war.

OOOHHHH YOUUU!!!... YOU MAKE ME SOO MAD!

Oh sorry i was being an angry xbox 360 fanboy

sway__z4863d ago

Loool it very true...most 360 owners I know have returned to 2008/2009 games in the preowned sections, that they'd completed and traded-in long ago because there's no big exclusives...at least there's still 3rd party support, but the big game exclusives drought has begun....

Kon4863d ago

I count more than 10 games this year.

JetLyfe4204863d ago

@Amy

I have both, matter of fact i had 360 first... but you know what? i cant stand Halo and Gears 2 was crap so theres nothing really left to see here....

Maybe Gears 3 will be better?? who knows... i'll probably be too busy playing one of the many exclusives Sony is offering AGAIN this year.

Oh wait, thats right MS paid millions so that 360 owners have the option to get ass raped by activision 30 days before the rest of the world! your best exclusive is getting to buy a shitty map pack, and they are bragging?! lmafoooooo

yeah and i guess it works cuz everybody fights for their console of choice, not realizing they CAN CHOOSE BOTH!!

InTheLab4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

The author said both have awesome games in the article, but KZ3 is beastly enough to temp gamers into trading in their 360. If not, there's still plenty of games on the way that are just as Epic as KZ3.

The article kinda went like...Dont worry 360 gamers. We have plenty of win coming this month, but damn is KZ3 amazing..

The author sounds like a true gamer. When Gears dropped a few years back, I immediately ran out and bought a 360, but kept my PS3 despite the lack of AAA titles. Personally, I'd never trade in one console for another becuase I'd never stop the cycle of trading in for awesome games on different console.

Killzone3___4862d ago (Edited 4862d ago )

@kon
hahahaha , that was funny ... even if you count 20 games almost all of them don't worth playing .... i don't care about how much exclusive the ps3 or the xbox360 have , the only thing i care about games i like , if i don't like it i won't buy it , it's simple , even if it gets 10/10 ....

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

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

jznrpg385d ago

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

badz149384d 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!

Vengeance1138385d 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 Kim385d ago

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

VersusDMC385d 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?

Vengeance1138385d ago

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

solideagle385d 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.

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.

blacktiger384d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal385d ago

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

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

MadLad1136d 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.

Applejack1136d 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_B1136d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1136d 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.

1136d ago
Vegamyster1136d 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.

SinkingSage1136d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1135d ago (Edited 1135d 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.

MadLad1135d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1136d 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

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.

Knightofelemia1314d ago

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_vulgaris1313d 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.
