Killzone 3 Review - Lens of Truth

Lens of Truth writes "Seeing how Killzone 2 (while a great game) had some issues that kept it from being perfect, can Killzone 3 improve on the shortcomings of its predecessor? Lets focus in and see if the game is a deep as it is beautiful."

Still the best looking game on the planet.

RudeSole Devil4799d ago (Edited 4799d ago )

Great review hit the nail on the head. The controls were my biggest issues with Killzone 2.

jesus nice blurry first shot LOT.

Gamer_Z4799d ago

Killzone 3 is the best looking game in its class (Exclusive)
Crysis 2 is also the best looking game in its class (Multiplatform)

They both look fantastic and play awesome, I will be buying both for sure.

PinkFunk4799d ago

I'm almost done the single player campaign - just in the space station. The game is freaking amazing, especially when it comes to gameplay. GG just nailed it. The dialogue, however, is piss poor. I really don't see how on such a high budget game they don't seem to notice just how superficial the dialogue is. That's my only beef with the game, that and the mysteriously absent deep stat tracking system from KZ2.

Otherwise, man the gameplay and set pieces are so good. So is the MP. And the graphics are just gorgeous.

kneon4799d ago

I didn't find the dialog or story any worse than other current FPS games, and much better than the wreck of a story we've been getting in the last couple COD games.

But I preferred KZ2 over 3, I liked the darker feel in KZ2 and I really dislike the CODification that has taken place in the multi-player.

InLaLaLand4799d ago

I think Killzone 3 SP was more interesting to me than Killzone 2. In Killzone 2, you didn't really care or be interested in the other characters but Rico (yeah very annoying). In Killzone 3 you see everyone's personality (the helgans, narville, sev, jammer, rico etc). The settings in both games are great.

ps3bestever4799d ago

Crysis 2 is the best looking fps game on any platform, OK ?

Silly gameAr4799d ago (Edited 4799d ago )

You guys keep believing that. This isn't the first time you people championed a game because it supposedly looks better than a PS3 exclusive, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last time.

People are already jumping on the Rage hype train and it will be the same crap over again. Just give up. You're just fueling the flames.

Pintheshadows4799d ago (Edited 4799d ago )

You gotta pay the troll toll.......

@below, I'm perfectly aware of what trolling is. Perhaps you should have a browse through his comment history. condescending bellend.

B1663r4799d ago (Edited 4799d ago )

It is not trolling to state an opinion like...

"Game X is the best looking game"

Because see, that is an opinion... And those are like butt holes, everyone has one.

However it is trolling to call people names, because of their opinion.

Therefore after much objective consideration, you are a troll and ps3bestever is not, he is merely stating his opinion.

On the other hand when ps3 fan trolls show up in Kinect threads, and post extranious lists of games (all of middling quality imho) make make statements like "Killzone 3 is the best looking game" without any context or reason and having nothing to do with the article in question, that is trolling.

The More you know

@above,

And he states his opinion on the document topic, which is fine and not trolling. You on the other hand appear to be cyber stalking him in addition to your trolling activities.

Pintheshadows4799d ago

Funny i'm starting to think the same about you B1663r. Bringing up a different game in a topic that has nothing to do with that game is the definition of trolling. Maybe you should read my first post where I clearly state my opinion. Although I don't see yours. You don't own the game do you?

Pintheshadows4799d ago (Edited 4799d ago )

There are enough Crysis 2 vs KZ3 stories that you can f**k off too. No need to pollute this one. I enjoyed KZ3 a lot. Always changing the pace and I find people are harsh on the story. At the end of the day its a cat and mouse chase in an action game. You weren't expecting the Kings Speech were you?

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

1Victor366d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar366d 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

badz149365d 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!

Vengeance1138366d 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 Kim366d ago

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

VersusDMC366d 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?

Vengeance1138366d ago

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

solideagle366d 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.

Phoenix76366d 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

thesoftware730366d ago (Edited 366d 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

talocaca366d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy366d ago (Edited 366d 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.

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

bouzebbal1117d ago

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

MadLad1117d 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.

Applejack1117d 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_B1117d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1117d 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.

1117d 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 Kim1117d ago

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

MadLad1116d 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

Omar3li1116d 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_vulgaris1294d 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.
