Killzone 3 Multiplayer May Be Sold Separately on PSN

With Killzone 3 having released back in February, the number of multiplayer users has naturally dropped to a smaller, more dedicated group of players. In an effort to revitalize the multiplayer component of the game, and bring in a few more sales, it now looks like Sony are planning to release KZ3‘s multiplayer as a separate game on the PlayStation Network.

Should bring some more players to the game.

WANNAGETHIGH4544d ago

Won't work..Remember Cod is out,not even BF could compete with Cod based on number of people online so I doubt this will help GG,Sales will be low.

HappyWithOneBubble4544d ago

You don't know that. Of course it won't be a huge boost but some people will buy.

guitarded774544d ago (Edited 4544d ago )

I hope so... Killzone is my favorite online next to Battlefield. I'd like to see more people come to the KZ community.

HappyWithOneBubble4544d ago

I wish more games was like that. There are some games I like campaigns for and some for just multiplayer.

ftwrthtx4544d ago

That's a great idea depending on the price point.

DasBunker4544d ago

yeah id get it if the price is right.

Hufandpuf4544d ago

I think that's a great idea lol. I wouldn't be surprised of other companies decided to do this. Our game is dying, so buy our multiplayer portion to get it back up.

But then what if they like the multi and want to buy the full game for the singleplayer? Will SP be sold separately too?

ddurand14544d ago

all games should do this. its really annoying to pay 60$ for games that i never play the single player on.

im sure people in the opposite situation feel similarly

ftwrthtx4544d ago

I'm mostly a story driven gamer and online is always an after thought for me. They should split the difference and do $30 story games and $30 for the online portion.

HappyGaming4544d ago

Games like cod would be more like 70% for online 30% for offline or no one would buy the single player!!

Blaine4544d ago

In general I prefer games that are either SP-only or MP-only. They're usually more focused when they only do either, and they come out better.

For KZ, I'd actually want to get the SP only.

I'm waiting for Starhawk for MP.

SweatyFlorida4544d ago

Would love if Dice jumped on the idea as well for Battlefield 3 :p

But Great idea on Sony's/GG's part to revitalize the game! Though I have KZ3 and loved the SP and somewhat liked the MP, this is great for those who haven't gotten the taste of KZ3. This could also have an effect on the used market. Very smart.

Yet it'll probably be more expensive than the whole Killzone 3 package (excluding the Plus deal of course). You can buy KZ3 quite cheap now.

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

1Victor359d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar359d ago

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

jznrpg359d ago

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

badz149358d 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!

Vengeance1138359d 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 Kim359d ago

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

VersusDMC359d 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?

Vengeance1138359d ago

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

solideagle359d 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.

Phoenix76359d 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

REDGUM359d ago

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

thesoftware730359d ago (Edited 359d 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.

blacktiger358d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca359d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy359d ago (Edited 359d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal359d ago

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

Imalwaysright359d 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

MadLad1110d 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.

Applejack1110d 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_B1110d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1110d 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.

Vegamyster1110d 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.

SinkingSage1110d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1109d ago (Edited 1109d 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 Kim1110d ago

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

MadLad1109d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1110d 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.

Magatsuhi1110d ago

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

Binarycode1110d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1109d 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_vulgaris1287d 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.
