How right is this game? It’s a little puzzling that Killzone isn’t around today and that Sony parted ways with it. Killzone 3 still operates better than 90% of shooters today and when I say operating I’m talking about the gunplay, the weapon feels, things like loadouts.

God bless Killzone 2 and its brown colors, greys throughout but Killzone 3’s art direction is much better and they seriously nailed the color palettes.

The script for the game isn’t winning an Emmy but nobody is getting fired either over it, it’s standard military, space shooter and if those who have followed Killzone for years you have a new Helghan leader.

There’s 9 chapters, I respect the length.

If we travel back to 2011 let’s look at the shooters released that year:

Battlefield and call of duty went on to win the awards.

Maybe I’m defending Killzone 3 here but I just remember the push back years ago and I’m not seeing it.

This game and franchise feels legendary and I’d like to see Sony revisit it.

IT HAS BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE KILLZONE DIED – WHAT’S NEXT?​

What does GAF think of this particular Killzone game?

 

[That Damn Kid]

This game is why I bought this, one of my favorite video game accessories

 

[SmokedMeat]

Best Killzone campaign imo. I hope they bring it back someday.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

I loved the melee kill animations in this game! Sony does not show any love to a lot of these franchises anymore.

 

[Celcius]

My cousin bought it and I remember thinking the graphics were amazing at the time. Especially in that pre-release trailer

 

[Evolved1]

The 3D was neat. Overall I really enjoyed it.

 

[Unknown?]

Can't believe they beat KZ2 in graphics. It had amazing graphics.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Its the typical guerilla games title : all flash, no substance.
As always, good gfx, mediocre everything else.

People slag or dismiss Killzone 3 for some reason, but I remember having a blast with it. (And that's after having taken fallen asleep constantly trying to play Killzone 1 and then being frustratingly turned off by Killzone Shadowfall... i never owned Killzone 2, but I think my favorites will still be Killzone Liberation and Mercenary even if i did finally get around to 2, i genuinely love both of those games.) It was fast and fun and colorful yet heavy and tense.

That thing and the 3D were both "gimmicks" that made me have so much fun with Killzone 3. I didn't take it so seriously since I was playing it with all the toys active (that's one of the reasons I didn't get Killzone 2, that so many people considered it "realistic" and sort of "important", and I just wanted to shoot cool guns.

And as silly as most people would consider it to be to use a light bulb motion controller to play a FPS, I actually found SharpShooter to be a fun and successful way to play a shooter.

 

[Outlier]

I remember playing it, but NOT being as impressed with it as I was with Kz2.
Kz3 was TECHNICALLY better in every way, but it just felt off. Beat it only once, got demolished online right away, then never played it again.

I got my PS3 hooked up again. This was one of the games I loaded a super old save on during some random spot in the game and managed to play till completion. I was pretty blown away by the finale. I recommend, especially if you have a good Soundsystem.

The MP was pretty fun

 

[Badlucktroll]

Maybe KZ 2 and 3 will come out on Ps5 if Sony does a Ps3 emulator

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Are people forgetting a LTTP means you write your own thoughts on the game, not make a mini OT with trailers and award facts?

BS.

KZ2 & 3 were two of the best shooters that gen. Sad for you that you didn't get it. Too much braindead COD probably rotted your brain.

 

[Roman Empire]

It was probably the best Killzone for me, but that year was stacked with some good stuff like BF3, Bulletstorm, Resistance 3, Homefront.

Just BF3 alone I had around 800 hours. I loved that the most. Now BF is just sad, 5 and 2042 are a far cry of BF's glory days.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I really liked KZ2 and KZ3. I played quite a lot of the MP in these too.

I'd love for them to put all the maps together into a bundled game and just have KZ multiplayer exist.

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

Didn't put as much time into this as KZ2 but still an excellent game. Should really dig out my PS3 and give them another play.

Kind of miss the PS3 era of Sony when they had a ton of unique MP games. KZ, Resistance, Motorstorm, MAG, Twisted Metal, Warhawk etc.

 

[Gamerguy84]

Really enjoyed the whole series. Played them all including liberation on PSP. You can play liberation on PS5 with a premium sub, which I thought was cool.

Like 3, loved 2 and thr weighted guns and loved Shadow Falls PS4 multiplayer. Story was weird though.

Always laughed at the series though because the Helghast really looked like WW2 Germans.

Good times though.

 

[Business]

It was quite good but I could’t get over how hard they shit the bed with the story, actually the ending of 2 was already bad. I liked the snow section, probably they tried too hard to break from the gray look of KZ2 feedback they must have gotten, for example the alien jungle look never clicked for me. Very solid tho, would totally sign up for a proper remake.

Also, Merry Christmas bro !

 

[Beer Baelly]
