Review: Killzone 3
- Thread starter Greg Tito

Also, one of the best FPS Motion controls implementation I have experienced in recent time.
It will take a bit to find your best settings, but if you have them, you won't touch the DS3.
Even in multiplayer (beta) I never lt at a disadvantage and did in some occasions even betterthan with the DS3.
I'm really surprised that KZ3 isn't advertised much more as the flagship for motion controls in hardcore games.
If you can, give it a try and you'd be surprised how much fun a refreshing new control scheme can be.
Certainly not for everybody, but when it gets you, you don't want to go back.

Wait...so it doesn't end here? The story lends itself to suggest there will be a Killzone 4???Greg Tito said:
Also I hope to share your impressions of the story in this iteration. The last game did have a story but left me pretty underwhelmed. Not as badly as Gears of War but still...
*Marcus Fenix voice* NICE!
I haven't played Killzone 2. Will that be a problem, or is the story accessible for newcomers as well? I think I'll definitely get this game either way, but it'd be nice to know whether it's worth buying the second one just so you understand what's going on.

Maybe we should hate Microsoft for keeping an equally good game such as Alan Wake Xbox exclusive....which by the way was supposed to be on pc as well....Zannah said:
Anyway I already knew I was going to get Killzone 3, the atmosphere and weight behind weapons has always been more appealing to me than the mainstream "camera with wheels" console shooters.
No! Because then they have to dumb down the graphics a bit. Not trying to argue here but pretty much every ps3 exclusive game tends to have much much prettier scenery than multi-platform games.Zannah said:
I do like how in the demo I felt like a 'person running' rather than a 'camera bouncing' not sure what they did differently to get that effect but it works.
Malcom McDowell! First Fallout 3 and now this, he's on a role as 'video game bad guy'
It will take a little time to get up to speed but no more than your average action movie. You shouldn't have a problem figuring out the characters from just playing this game. No need to play Killzone 2 in order to enjoy the story.Phenom828 said:

I'll just wait for the first guy to make a good Let's Play of the entire game.....and then watch THAT in 1080p. Seriously, if the ONE thing this game perfects is it's Cinematography, (which is primarily why i watch films) and if the Control scheme is as abysmal as Killzone2, then why should I, or anyone else bother buying it to play it instead of watch it for free on Youtube?
I obviously haven't played this new game, but I would think playing Killzone 2 is helpful in terms of appreciating the story and whats going on.Phenom828 said:
Killzone 3's native resolution is actually 720p, not 1080. And I'd love to get this on PC if it was available and there wouldn't need to be any compromises made.ace_of_something said:
They employ a motion blur effect around the edges of the screen. It's subtle, but it's the little details like that that Guerrilla Games really seems to nail.
Im a 360 owner and i FUCKING LOVED killzone 1. Makes me want a PS3 for this... and GOW3... and MGS4... Darn you playstation classics
Hmm... looks interesting and a nice addition to the FPS roster of the PS3. I actually would like to play it. I want a PS3.
Also, that scene at the end of the review would be great material for Unskippable.
