I went on my ps3 for the first time in a while and decided to play some killzone 2. My initial experience with the game can be described as... awkward. Most reviewers said that the sluggish feel will disappear after a little while, and aiming and moving will become more natural. That never happened for me. The entire game was like I was lopsided and the controls were pretty bad. I almost always hip fired because clicking in to zoom was just terrible. However I still had some great fun with it. The set piece moments were epic,it was a hard game, but never too hard, except maybe the fight with Raddec (Seriously Raddec, GO FUCK YOURSELF, beating you in under a half an hour is not something that should be rewarded, and you may have been the hardest boss iv had the pleasure of killing in a long time) it made the grey brown environment thing everyone is into look pretty incredible and multiplayer was fresh and unique.

So now Killzone 3 is on its way and I'm pretty excited now. But the hype for it doesnt seem nearly as much as kz2. Why is that?

New to the game is jetpacks and mech suits, which look pretty cool, but when do they not? New environments include arctic tundra and lush jungles. Also the game is A LOT bloodier.

Some things that they are working on that surprised me is story. The story of the kz2 was generic but slightly interesting, but almost completely destroyed by one character, you know who I mean. As was released recently, the game will have a whopping 3 hours of cut scenes, no mgs4 but still, looks like they might of taken a look at the script of their last game and realized how ridiculous it was. Also, the game looks even better than its predecessor, which is saying something.

The multiplayer is getting some revamps, but a quick side note, is it possible for ps3 to make a rebound in terms of its community? How many games have you been in on a ps3 game where people had mics? Its embarrassing. Its just something that needs to be fixed but I cant think of a reason how. Its up to people to go get mices, or else sony should just start selling them bundled with the system. (Last time I checked, they didn't do that, I could absolutely be wrong, and if anybody disagrees with me and people actually do play with mics most of the time, let me know because im curious)

Its shaping up to be a great game, and I was just curious what you guys think. If I their is anything I could change, Id fix the god awful controls. And thats really the only thing that I feel is something that MUST change.

I had about a 1:2 ratio of mic users when I was playing Borderlands on PS3. I don't think that's much worse than Halo (from what I've seen played) online. Then again, I've only seen 1 person with a mic this past week. It just depends on the game.

There's a public beta coming out on February 2nd, so I'll make my final decision based on that.

I loved Killzone 2 however, and I heard that GG fixed almost all of the problems that Killzone 2 had, so I'm actually excited.

But after disappointment with Bulletstorm's demo...

Don't give 2 shits about the MP.

And it's not a "beta". That's marketing talk!

The game has already "gone gold". It's done. The game is finished and the discs are being printed.

You see, I'm just going to play KZ 1+2 on my friend's PS3, and that will count as playing Killzone 3. Because I have a feeling that it's going to be a sequel in the same way Gears of War 2 was a sequel to Gears of War 1, and the same way Gears of War 3 will be a sequel. Nothing much new, same engine, same gameplay, same old samey samey same that I would be forced to hand over new-game-sized-wad-of-cash for an expansion-pack-sized game.

Sorry, I'm a bit irate with the gaming industry at the moment. But there's my two cents.

What was dissapointing about bulletstorm?

Havent played the demo yet.

I thought Bulletstorm was alright.

And sad to say, I never buy games at launch (since most now have some buggies to be fixed the month after, damn rushed developer trend!), so I'll have to hold back on KZ3 for awhile.

What makes you say that?

I'm not starting to blog on Dtoid, either. Nope. Totally not posting all my reviews and best topics on both sites simultaneously. I'm definitely not this guy [http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Onyx%20Oblivion].

I think its going to be used to test there servers so they don't end up getting screwed up on launch day.

I think the reason why the hype is down for Killzone 3 was following the backdraft that came from the infamous hype trains for the first two games.

"OMG KILLZONE IZ DUR HALO KILLZOR!" Killzone 1. Not a bad game, but it had issues.

"OMG KILLZONE 2 HAZ BESTEST GRAPHIX EVAR!" Killzone 2. Great game, but overhyped to the point where hearing about it annoys people.

With Killzone 3, they already have their established market, a good sized fanbase, and a working engine.

They know what they need to do to make money, and they aren't bragging about it. I am still looking forward to Ray Winstone and Malcolm McDowell going at each other in KZ3.

Probably because just like the Fable franchise the Killzone games have been crushed under the weight of their own hype. Guerilla have probably learnt their lesson and will let the game stand up under its own merit rather than pumping up its tyres with a load of hot air.

It's not that. Killzone 1 was suppose to be the Halo killer but it wasn't, it became the FPS face of the PS2, or at least part of it. When they did the tech demo for Killzone 2, even before the PS3 was announced, people were blown away by the graphics and effects of the game that it seemed like it would beat every FPS. Then it got delayed and the PS3 came out and no sign of KZ2 in sight. Then one day, the showed KZ2 with even better visuals and greatness. People remembered when it was first teased and they actually feel like they get the chance to play it. KZ3 doesn't have the huge advancement in technology that KZ2. If you think about it, the hype behind KZ2 is similar to Duke Nukem Forever, they just differ in magnitude and their audiences.

Anyways, I do have KZ3 preordered with a possibility of getting the Move just because of KZ3.
