-Alpha4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

Disappointed with the lack of Operations as its my favorite mode.

I'm just questioning the logic of releasing 2 DLC packs out so soon after release and I hope they pace it right.

I think they said they plan to have a lot of DLC and with 3 modes and with not every map having every mode, and with their strategy of offering 2 maps per package, I worry about the community being split up so quickly. I want a lot of DLC support, and I would support 5 maps for $15 as those keep the community more together.

Hopefully this strategy works well for them

I really want some retro maps and Operation maps. Warzone's TSA placements annoy me on some maps. Hopefully they bring back spawn on squad leader. IMO what K3 lacks are bigger maps and better/more TSA placements, and I hope to see that for future Warzone maps. Salamun Market is an example of a really good Warzone map, and that's from K2.

tehpees34811d ago

Glad to see them supporting this. lol DLC is much quicker then I expected. keep it coming Sony. I'm having a blast

deafwing4810d ago

besides that ... that level with the rain looks amazing; there's always so much going on in kz - I know that's going to be distracting for some gamers :)

Redman224810d ago (Edited 4810d ago )

Damn that map looks insane! I hope they flood us with DLC because I'm buying it all. :D

KZ3 is the king of the FPS!

chainer30004810d ago

Personally I would be happy if they kept a steady flow of maps coming out until it reaches the 10ish mark. I already know all of these backwards and forwards!

I just hope they do larger map pack releases at reasonable prices (1.50$ a map seems reasonable to me)

ZombieAssassin4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

I have to agree, I think they are going to split up the community if they release them in small doses. I'd also like to see 1 retro map per pack too as that would be nice for the people who actually played Kz2 and it should be pretty wasy and less costly for the devs.
I'd also like to see a lot of the features from Kz2 return in patches, like the 25 things you wrote about on the Kz forums...don't need them all back but some are a must.

From the screens though they look like beautiful maps, can't wait till I can pick this game up but until then I shall keep playing Kz2.

-Alpha4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

Hey, you read that, good to see it going around :)

What I love about K2 maps, and even in UC2, is the weather/dynamics of the level.

Little details like the crane actually moving when you hold the objectives in Operations and the blinding blizzards in Akmir are great ways to make the maps immersive.

I like the rain in the Junkyard map, hope it comes full with the lightning. I can imagine the awesome lightning effects. It should be a nighttime map IMO, they need one of those. Imagine the lightning spotting enemies for split seconds.

Wish they kept Salamun Market and Turbine nighttime maps :(

ZombieAssassin4811d ago

Yea i LOVED the atmosphere with a lot of the Kz2 maps and DLC, all the dust flying around in the wind and the rain. I like the idea of a night time map that is really dark but then when the lightning hits the whole map lights up for a couple seconds and bullets start flying like crazy. I'd like to see another map like Wasteland Bullet too (not sure if there is one in Kz3 as I've only played the beta and won't be picking the game up until mid March).

awesomeperson4811d ago

For me the KZ2 maps I would like the most are Pyrhus Rise (sorry for spelling if its wrong), Corinth Crossing, and from the KZ2 map packs (wern't some of them retro Killzone 1 aswell... no idea which ones, never played KZ1, all I know is I bought the pack), the train map, and the map where the nuke goes off.

I wouldn't mind if they included some KZ2 dlc... as DLC again that there would be a discount or free is its logistically possible and we bought it for KZ2.

Overall I think Guerilla are doing well, and guys, I don't think they are really milking it by anouncing a second one so quick, maybe they had them planned to go with the game but didn't have time to finish???

I know I'll be a sucker and buy it anyway :D

Pillage054811d ago

I think you're right that spawn on squad leader would fix a lot of problems with the tsa placements. But then they need to make it easier to get into a squad like on kz2 inside the game instead of only using psn system. I have a feeling they took it out 'cause of the increased amount of people you can have in a squad. 7 people spawning at once on a person could really piss some people off ya know lol.

Have two permanent base spawns fairly close but separated would have made it harder for a team to get boxed in as well.

Anybody else kind of wishing they would have left out the wasps turrets? They're not so bad, easy to take out and such...but when they start spamming the area anywhere near you the camera shakes so damn bad I can't tell what's going on lol. A halfway solution would be to add a timer on that they can't be fixed for 30-60secs after blown up. That way people don't just keep spawning and jumping right back on.

-Alpha4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

I don't like wasp turrets because of players don't deal with them. I was playing in Salamun and a guy was going 18-1 until he killed me. And I made it my mission to stop him because a lot of players don't seem to pay attention IMO. Likely because they are still getting used to it.

I took him out constantly and gave him like 10 deaths. He kept going for the wasps but I didn't let him have a chance again.

I do think that they need to have limited ammo though. Because some players KDR whore and only do the Wasp turrets.

Jezuz4811d ago

I don't like it. The game just came out and a DLC Pack is announced? They should've just include it in the game at the 1st place

chainer30004810d ago

I imagine a lot of people, like myself, got the DLC for free for pre-ordering or buying at gamestop/amazon/best buy. I believe they all offered free weapons and the map pack DLC code, as well as a unique Home item (whatever).

Id prefer SP dlc lol, but this is fine too.

crzyjackbauer4810d ago

sony is already milking the game COD style
i bet the dlc will be $15

chainer30004810d ago

wasn't the other one 5$? And I got that for free for pre-ordering, as I imagine a *lot* of people did.

Regardless, I will pay up to 9.99 for a large pack and 5$ for a 2-map pack. Worth it for me IMO, plus this game is still "fresh" to me.

Megaton4811d ago

Tired of this. DLC getting announced moments after release, or even before release.

cyclonus0074811d ago

Blame Activision and/or Call of Duty.

distorted_reality4811d ago

No, blame the idiots that were stupid enough to give Acti money for a couple of extra maps.

cyclonus0074810d ago

Idiots will be idiots. I blame the people who consistently exploit idiots. If there's a drug epidemic (and Call of Duty has become like crack in the eighties), whose to blame? The addict or the dealer?

Charazani4811d ago

I hope they announce some larger DLC like an expansion pack. I'd like to see more weapons, as it was one of the most requested changes asked in the open/closed beta.

That Stahl Arms map reminds me a lot of the Vekta Cruiser map for KZ2 DLC.

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

1Victor354d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar354d ago

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

jznrpg354d ago

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

badz149354d 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!

Vengeance1138354d 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 Kim354d ago

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

VersusDMC354d 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?

Vengeance1138354d ago

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

solideagle354d 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.

Phoenix76354d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

thesoftware730354d ago (Edited 354d 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.

blacktiger354d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca354d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal354d ago

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

Imalwaysright354d 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

MadLad1105d 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.

Applejack1105d 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_B1105d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1105d 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.

1105d ago
Vegamyster1105d 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.

SinkingSage1105d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1105d ago (Edited 1105d 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.

MadLad1104d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1105d 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.

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_vulgaris1283d 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.
