Killzone 3 Beta Details (Starts 10/25, requires PS+, only 10k spots open)
- Thread starter Man
- Start date
Nope, the only guaranteed way is if you're an official SCEE beta tester and those emails got sent out a week ago. As for PS+, that was only available for the first 5,000 N.A./10,000 Euro PS+ users who downloaded the Killzone theme posted earlier this week, there's no more PS+ invites left at the moment. They might expand it later and PS+ users might get dibs, but buying plus right now wont get you into the beta.oneHeero said:
The Playstation MLG Twitter giveaway ended Monday, the Killzonedotcom Twitter giveaway ended earlier today, and the UGO bullshit is over now. The only other giveaway on the horizon is the 1up giveaway. I'm guessing the PS blog will hold another giveaway next week and maybe Keighley as well if he gets some codes.

I consider it a blessing that I don't have to go through that again when 1up does it. I would offer my help with my fast reflexes to some of you if it were possible. Though you would just end up with a second place finish hoping for a typo from the first place guy. :lol
Feel free to add me if any of you want to play next week or just to add me in general. PSN: Demolitio. The same as on here.

Come on now, Killzone 3 shouldn't have to become this similar to other shooters in the market in terms of gun play. Weapons in FPS's should differentiate from each other in terms how they handle. You shouldn't be able to spray with every smg and assault rifle and have them feel the same. I don't care if the controls/feel stay tight compared to Killzone 2. The recoil shouldn't have been changed that drastically.

Graphics are absolutely marvelous.
I hope we start seeing more devs use a 720p buffer for particle effects, etc. later on this gen. Final Fantasy XIII is the only* big budget game I can think of that pulled that off, and the effects in battle gave the game a vividness I have yet to see elsewhere. It's the one last area in which Killzone and the rest could really improve, but I guess the trade-offs just aren't worth it.
*Except maybe Uncharted 2. I can't really remember.

Goddamn you guys. If I had children, I would give them away in exchange for a beta pass. I fucking loved Killzone 2 and it's probably my favorite MP game of the gen so I should be in this. I need it. Gorilla Games, if you're reading this, shame on you for not letting me in.

I think we need to start spamming other threads in gaming with these gifs. Let them bath in the glory of Killzone!

Wow, I love how the Higgs eye light goes out when it is punctured by the knife. A cool effect but I really hope that it is missiing when you pull that off on an ISA engi.

That's what I was asking about -- but the thing is .. if the ribbons you earn produce perks then what is stopping people from avoiding objectives at some points during a match just to continually shoot to obtain more ribbons?
I'm totally fine with being able to gain ribbons each match (like Warhawk), as opposed to KZ2 where once you fulfilled your medal requirements you never received a ribbon again -- but (and correct me if I'm wrong) if the ribbons are giving people special perks/abilities then I don't know if I like that ..
Well it might not be that you only gain the ribbons/perks by killing. Maybe it's point based ala scorestreaks in MoH. Point based ribbons/perks that you earn for the duration of the current game could be pretty cool.X-Frame said:

Wow that sentence was broken as hell...

If you played Battlefront 2, it is a similar system that certain tasks in one match gain abilities for that match, but once that match is done you'll need to re-earn them the next.

Wait.... a Beta is supposed to stress test both the code and the servers.
Since this is a closed Beta, it seems to me that this is more akin to a Demo than to a Beta (a common practice in today's industry).
However, for you to qualify to try this "beta", you need to be a PSN+ member....
Paid Demos, on my Playstation?

Are you forgetting about bug reports and feedback on gameplay/mechanics/features/UI/usability? They're allowing ppl to test the mechanics. There's only so much info they can get back from their Q&A team. But it is being used as a marketing tool for PS+ (even though they said PS+ members get early/exclusive access to betas from the beginning)drizzle said:

Now all we need is the ability to customize our spartans armor.
I refuse to believe that they have fixed it for the beta. In the videos I've watched of the beta you still look really short. And Sev was super short on the E3 videos when he got close to other characters like Rico. Am I just seeing things wrong. Can two people in the beta stand next to each other on level ground and test it?Yoboman said:
