Killzone 3D - Enter the HYPEzone - Gamespot 8.5-Keep it here or face suspension!

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Lot of work went into this, definitely deserve some props, but three months before the game comes out? Business of early hype threads is rather strange but nevertheless, I'm going to go with AA.djsifer01

Killzone 3 Beta - Brutal Melee Analysis

interesting vid i found

Vader993

Melee in KZ has always been a pleasant contrast to other FPSs. Especially games like Black Ops (don't get me started on Commando in MW2! :P), where the lunging / magnetic attraction is very annoying and unbalanced. I wish the normal gun butts would take 2 hits to kill a target, like KZ2, instead of 1 though.

or they could do this your opponent must be damaged to be killed by a melee

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I like how melee is handled in Reach. It's similar to KZ3, but it takes to gun butts to kill and enemy. And there's lunging, but it's not as bad as other games like Black Ops.

woooownice thread .

". The Helghast are there and they have this iconic image, but at this point in time, it's always been Emperor Visari as the only un-helmeted Helghast you saw so it was tough to actually view the opponents you're fighting during the course of the franchise as an actual human type entity. We're really stretching out legs and learning how to progress our story telling technique and we're able to tell a more humanistic story – both from the ISA (Interplanetary Strategic Alliance) side and being able to give a glimpse as to what's going on in the Helghast's government structure with this enigmatic leader Visari having been killed."

its nice to see guerilla games improving the storytelling of the kz series

ugghhh lems are on a roll these days anyways, are you gonna make a Swag 2 union?Giancar

Yeah, look at the "SWAG" section of the "Extras"! It's actually a reboot, more than a sequel :P.

LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND

it turn out guerilla is fixing the errors in the beta

We want to start off by thanking you for contributing to a successful Public Beta Trial so far. So here goes: "THANK YOU!"

Seriously, thank you for all the time you have spent playing the Beta. Thank you for your honest and sometimes brutal feedback. Thank you for all the creative, workable and sometimes unimaginable, but fun, suggestions. Between all the Devs, we have read all of them and responded to half as many as we would have liked.

Thank you, because we now have what we need. Actually, we have received so much feedback, suggestions and bugs, that the general discussion part of the forum has served its purpose and has been closed. There is enough info on there to make six Killzone games, not just one. We know what your opinions are; we know what you think should be altered or different altogether. And we know what we need to focus on to make Killzone 3 all it can be when it launches in February 2011!

During this Beta we've had a good mix of participants to help us out: people who were new to the franchise, but also a lot of hardcore Killzone 2 veterans. To those of you in the latter group, please know that we recognize your share in keeping the Killzone community alive and bringing new players to the game. We appreciate your continued support and feedback. Your comments on features such as Matchmaking, Controls, Server lists (or Custom Games) and Tactical Spawn Areas (or Spawn grenades) have been most valuable.

And while we may not be able to implement every suggestion you've offered (for instance we can't "…just implement Killzone 2 spawn grenades-code" – that's just not how it works!) that doesn't mean that we aren't listening to you. Your comments and suggestions form the basis for the changes we are currently making to Killzone 3, along with your bug reports and telemetry data from the game.

While it's impossible to specify every fix, update and change that we are working on, the game is already in a much better state than what you are playing now. We would have loved to bring all of these changes to you via additional patches, but this would have taken us a lot of time that we've chosen to spend on development, fixes and tweaks instead. We will continue to incorporate your feedback up until launch, so the next time you see Killzone 3 it will be a much-improved experience.

We have already improved on a number of things that you listed. These are just a few:

• Matchmaking improvements - lots and ongoing

• Tactical Spawn Areas - functionality and additional TSA's where needed

• Weapon damage, recoil and range

• Weapon distribution over careers

• Added Weapons

• Exo's - count, health regeneration and damage

• Spawn camping

• Career Abilities (like Recon)

• HUD icons, readability, options

• Tweaked turrets, sentries and drones

• Running speed, stamina tweaks

• Player health

Finally, it's important to note that we're nearing the end of the Public Beta Trial. We do not know exactly when the beta will shut down yet. But somewhere in the next couple of weeks the online service will be discontinued. The good news is that you will still be able to play and practice in Botzone after the Beta ends.

The Bug Section will be still open to report bugs. So you can still report issues. Also, don't be afraid to use theSurveywe've set up.

In the meantime, have fun with the Beta. And be nice to the new people coming on board! We hope to see you all in February 2011.

wow, impressive hype thread! Well done! You need a poll though ;) .

Im thinking Killzone 3 will not get as good a response from the critics, but will still score well, Im going to go with an 8.5/9.0

The effort put into this is incredible.

KZ3 looks set to be mean.

I have to admit this epic hype thread has increased my hype for this game. :)Deathtransit

Just got back from Gamestop and pre-ordered and paid KZ3 off while I was there. I'll go ahead and be brave and say it gets a 9.5.

Probably the best hype thread in the history of gamespot... and I've been here since 2003/4. Well done TC!

I forgot to mention that this is a fantastic thread. Well done indeed, sir.

Is this the hype thread?johny300

no its a hypezone8)

I dont trust Guerrila games.So even though this does look great (move and 3d,which i have) im still not sure.Guerrila does not have any good writers,most of the dialoug is straight up swearing from the @$$.It killed the game for me.Ratchet_Fan8

Yeah, that was a "leaked" photo of the game specs. I hope it makes it in, but don't take it as concrete yet. I'll tell Treal to edit it out for now!

Also, Vader, I read GG's report the other night :). Very good to hear!

Found this on Gaf!

Apparently, we get to take out (and possibly board?) that giant-ass robot :P. Could this be the "boss on top of a boss" that Guerrilla was referring to? They said they looked at God Of War 3, and that specific interaction is what inspired them.

holy **** good find, guerilla games wasn't kidding when they ment larger set pieces:shock:

Killzone 3 + PS Move + THIS = can't wait

gamerfan85

I really reccommend people read Killzone backstory. I read it earlier in the year and its very interesting stuff. I gurantee it'll make you like the Helghast a bit more.

On another note, ive been playing KZ2 (online) alot over the past few months and does anyone else here think the game gets worse as you rank up? I felt that games were alot better at the lower ranks, but with the higher ones (playing with higher people) you start seeing spys, alot more drones, alot more turrets and more rushing. Im sure there are people that like that but to me it just made the game really random.

Does anyone else hope we get another Visari speech? Yeah he's dead but it wouldnt be Killzone without one. Always gets me pumped whenever i hear it playing during start up.

Episode_Eve

Here is another picture from that big boss battle Eve posted,

WOAH! I'm back in town to find so many posts. Thanks to everyone for your admiration for the thread and of course your anticipation for the game!

I spent a good amount of time on it, but it wasn't strenuous. If something is a hobby of yours you'll find that spending time on it goes by in an instant. I love photoshop and always thought I'd have a great chance with the Ironshop competition on Gamespot. Sadly, I don't have the time and I'm busy with personal projects and work for clients.

I personally like this more than the Halo Reach thread I put together. Its no secret that I like Killzone more, but that's not the reason. I think this one looks better overall. But unlike Bungie, Guerrilla Games doesn't really give information on their game. You have to hunt for pics and details yourself. I commend Bungie for the order in which they reveal their games. They are great at keeping up excitement for their games by systematically giving us juicy info leading to release.

---

As for the game... I predict AAA 9.0.

Multiplayer: Has become the bread and butter of the franchise. MP will be more accessible while providing some crazy action and depth. After playing the beta I see there are many things they need to change and improve. Luckily, they've already addressed 80% them!

Single player: Will surprise us. I'm sure of it. No... it probably won't be able to stand alone as a single player only game. The new mechanics, bigger environments, more focus on story, and variety in objectives will make it leagues beyond what KZ2 was. I'm a fortune teller like some of you may know. My predictions just about always come to reality lol.

what was some of the bad things about the beta anyone?

i didn't try any killzone games yet, but im looking forward to this one so can you tell me some of its flaws?

i really really love these hype threads made by anti hype created by hype to create hype to deliver hype i love it but wheres the poll hmmm

what was some of the bad things about the beta anyone?

i didn't try any killzone games yet and going to look forward to this one but want to know some of the flaws.

PiGsCaNFIy

They address all of these issues along with a bunch of bugs. The feedback from the Beta was insane and they have enough info and wishes from the community to make 4 more Killzone games lol. This is why betas are VERY important!

Oh, I'll be adding a poll in about 30 seconds lol. Thanks for the reminder I love the smell of troll odor in the morning mmmmm!

I hope it's not as linear as the Leviathan fight in Resistance 2

Anyway, KZ3 sounds pretty interesting
