Killzone 3 is looking pimpin'

[OBH]

Anyone seen these videos?? Looking siiiiiiiiick :rock

Stabby, stabby (http://killzone.com/kz3/hub.html#/?content-id=kz3_brutalmelee)
lengthy demonstration, and yes, that is a jetpack (http://killzone.com/kz3/hub.html#/?content-id=kz3_e3presentation) :)

OMG i cant wait! I was a massive fan of the first and even a bigger fan of the second so i cant wait to see what the third brings!

[YouAreFubar]

Ive been watching this with great interest, its looking pretty sweet! Im even more happy with the fact they are looking at the control responsiveness as well. They are looking at trying to sort out the deadzone and input lag to make it a little more responsive without ruining the realistic heavy feel. Cant wait!

That looks awesome, I love Killzone! Might have to fire KZ2 back up for a rerun.

[OBH]

i bought kz2 again as soon as i saw those vids. the games still sick.

[infoxicated]

I so wanted to like Killzone 2 - I was gutted when I realised I couldn't change the button configuration. Just need to hope they'll add that to Killzone 3, because it does look very good indeed.

[OBH]

I never quite understood the wide spread hatred for kz controls. It isnt like ups left and X is right or anything stupid :beer (though i totally understand that since the days of old games have had the option to reconfigure, so why not these next gen games? :))
Im not sure about the button configurations themselves, but i know they've redesigned the 'feel' of everything. They sound very proud about the subtle changes to movement, sensitivity, and recoil based on the equipment your carrying.

Best bit in my opinion that Ive read, is that online jet packs can be stolen as long as you kill the pilot and not destroy the pack :)

I bought KZ2 without realising you couldn't change the config. Big mistake. Fabulous game and in the end I kinda got used to the controls but they're probably the reason I never stuck with the game after playing through it.

Timesplitters config mashed with a bit of CoD:MW mmmmm

That said I'll still end up getting KZ3 regardless because it looks rather too tasty to pass up.

[OBH]

you guys just need to learn to adapt, not every game is timesplitters :D

[mdhay]

At least we can still use the weapon we're holding to melee, I've never understood the practicality of reaching for a measly knife when you're carrying several pounds of forged steel, which would do more damage smacking somebody round the temple than slashing somebody who's wearing kevlar, whilst in the time you took to ready said knife, you could have god knows how many bullets in you...

[BulletWraith]

not sure if its everyone's cup of tea but here's a great interview with a couple of the Killzone developers
HHG's Killzone3 interview (http://www.hiphopgamershow.com/new/sony-killzone-3-welcomes-the-challenge-of-gears-3-%E2%80%9Cwe-love-epic-games%E2%80%9D-very-deep-interview-must-see/) Enjoy:rock

Nice interview.

"Call of Duty has spoiled and deluded gamers"

Well said mate!!! :D:+

[mdhay]

KIllzone doesn't just kill Call of Duty, It murders it. Brutally, Violently, to such an extent that Visari would cry for his mother. That's How good it is. :D

[OBH]

Ive always liked killzones mixed bag when it comes to "reality".

It doesnt have the same gravity physics as say battlefield, but isnt as gravity free as CoD4. Instead it has some truly killer recoil for some of its weapons.

Its a great middle ground.

PLus you cant go wrong with the americans vs british-speaking-space-nazis storyline :beer The Helghast are clearly one of the best factions in a game ever imo.

Clicky (http://www.killzone.com/kz3/hub.html)

Theres a couple of videos and an explanation of their new 'brutal melee system'. Sounds brilliant!

Edit: By beta I dont mean theyre letting people play it, its just the bare bones website!

[slimjim]

[mdhay]

Medics now look awesome, and the ISA have the machine pistol back from the first one and their own SMG. :hyper :hyper :hyper :D

Killzone 2 was terrible, not sure if any of you played it competitively online but it was terrible. Not interested... oh btw there was some article that said SP lasts only 4,5 hours, lol. Although that's not really a surprise with modern-day shooters... still, the online doesn't make up for it.

[QjonPL]

There was a time when I was playing alot 2vs2/3vs3 clan matches, I had a great partner and I loved intense, tactics-oriented games, not just runnin'n'gunnin with rocket launchers on Radec Academy :paperbag
So I don't think that KZ2 online was terrible, players were terrible ;)

About KZ3 Beta: Frozen Dam map is a complete :turd far from being balanced; ISA as usual can be easily locked on their own respawn point. In KZ2 you could do the same on some maps with heavy weaponry, but here it's even worse, because you can do it with just a bunch of shotty users :| (+ one sniper if you want complete pwnage)
Heavy machine guns are also overpowered.

[Jav]

No, in the 4v4 games and the like, people would just whore the spawn grenade, it was terrible, just 8 players within 5 meters of each other trying to capture the objective. Truly ridiculous.
