Killzone 3 Looks to be the Benchmark for Graphics this Generation

Whether you like shooters or not, Killzone 3 is shaping up to be nothing short of amazing. Judging by the beta, the Achilles heel of Killzone 2 (clunky controls) have been refined to enhance the gameplay for Killzone 3.

For consoles most definitely, along with Uncharted 3!

heck, Resistance 3 is looking like a stunner atm

Neckbear4924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

Oh, I knew someone was going to say that.

But honestly, graphics this, graphics that, I bought a console for games that aren't available on a goddamn PC, not to see a feeble attempt at smoke and mirrors to hell and back just to look "stunning".

I don't have a console for graphics; that's what my PC is there for.

theonlylolking4923d ago

Crysis is not mind blowing at all anymore. It looks no better than uncharted 3 or killzone 3.

@Neckbear You get a PC for overall better multiplatform quality and better RTS and FPS gameplay

ico924924d ago

Resistance 3 looks better imo

saladthieves4923d ago

A benchmark, sadly, Microsoft's Claimed best looking shooter (Gears of war 3) can't even match...

RedDead4924d ago

Does look great, one of my favourite looking things of this gen is pyrrus rise in KZ2, turn off the Hud and just look at it, the sound is of the wind is great aswell, it changes from indoors and outdoors realistically

ApocalypseShadow4924d ago

CORRECTION:

PS3 Looks to be the Benchmark for Graphics this Generation on Consoles.

carry on....

Prcko4924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

ps3 wins!
full of powerrrr!!

awiseman4924d ago

FOR CONSOLES.

Crysis will be the benchmark this generation, dont get ahead of yourself fanboys. Rage is also noteworthy.

garrod4924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

Crysis 2 might end up looking better on PC but the PS3 version has got nothing on KZ3 just look at them side by side. Agree with you on Rage though.

Clarence4924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

Yeah if those games were made exclusively for the PS3 then yes, But since they are not its a no. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Heavy_Rain4923d ago

KZ3 pwns Crysis 2 on consoles. PC is a different matter though. As far as Rage is concerned It looks really good but at the same time there is not much happening on screen as in no volumetric dust , smoke and other particle effects so dont know how to compare at this point but then again it could be argued Rage is open world so yeah Rage is definitely looking stunning as well. No doubt about it. Time will tell. As of now KZ3 looks like a beast!

Sitris4923d ago

i bet you, that Rage will not look as good as the press is hyping it. It will be a great game, and i have it pre-ordered, but i reckon it will not be the best looking game on consoles, due to it being multiplatform and it being open world. The games graphics honestly havent blown me away by what i have seen either, the enemies, whatever those bloated things are look good in some places crap in others. But the game should be fantastic, but i'm looking forward to Doom 4 with that engine, corridor shooter with that engine WILL look better than most.

hesido4923d ago

Rage will look very good, and display twice as many frames compared to 95% percent of next gen games. So that's to be commended. Screenshots and 30fps videos do not do such games justice!

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

1Victor400d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar400d ago

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

jznrpg399d ago

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

badz149399d 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!

Vengeance1138400d 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 Kim400d ago

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

VersusDMC400d 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?

Vengeance1138400d ago

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

solideagle399d 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.

Phoenix76399d 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

REDGUM399d ago

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

thesoftware730400d ago (Edited 400d 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.

blacktiger399d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca400d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal399d ago

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

Imalwaysright399d ago

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

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

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

MadLad1150d 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.

Applejack1150d 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_B1150d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1150d 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.

Vegamyster1150d 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.

SinkingSage1150d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1150d ago (Edited 1150d 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.

AzubuFrost1150d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1150d ago

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

MadLad1150d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1150d 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

RevXM1150d ago

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1150d ago

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

Binarycode1150d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1150d 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_vulgaris1328d 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.
