Killzone Mercenary Beta Discussion

Wow, I have heard the impressions but I did not expect my experience to be this positive. The image quality is impeccable. I'm astonished with the amount of polish the graphics have on this game it's so easy on the eyes - on top of that the game runs smooth, smoother than most sub-native releases on the Vita it's just astounding.

No doubt the the beta is clearly a server stress test. No way that matchmaking imbalance and the respawn issues can go unnoticed. Regardless, I have an incredible time playing the game I didn't realize 2 hours passed by. Now that's a good sign that the multiplayer is solid & fun.

Did I mention playing with the Pulse Elite does wonders to the bass? It really does complete the game experience along with those slick visuals. A guarantee day one purchase.

The problems I have are with the melee system. I HATE, I HATE, I HATE that you have to swipe at the center of the screen in order to register. What's difference does it make if I do it on the edge of the screen? God, I got so many misses because I wasn't fast enough.

However, if this is any indication of a spinoff on the Vita, I really can't imagine the effort placed on the PS4 considering all development issues from the PS3 has been rectified.

So I've been playing more.

The spawning is still garbage. I've seen a dude abuse some geometry glitch where he was invulnerable. The geometry visibly changing when you move around is also not nice.

I think all the van-guard things are OP, except for the shield I guess. That probably makes it balanced again. I still think the Mantys Engine needs to be able to take less damage.

Other than that I think this game is really cool.
 
This game feels so good. I thought I was gonna suck jumping in last night after not playing Killzone for a while, but I eased right into it and it felt so natural. Gyro aiming is super responsive too.

Day 1 download for me, I will play the shit out of this one.

Is the gyro on by default? Been playing since the first beta and never noticed/used it haha
 
Ok, this code I got... what is it good for? I can't use it and it appears the beta is freely available on the EU store anyway. Is the code US only?
 
My word. Its like remote play without the actual remote play. A PS3 IN MAH POCKET.

Hacking is so intense like WHERE ARE THE TRIANGLES AAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

Also managed to fuck it up when i went to access a terminal while someone else was, lag conspired to freeze me in place until someone killed me. Ehhhh.

Could do with a little more intelligent spawning since I've been spawned up an enemies butthole at least twice, but maybe slightly larger maps will fix that.
 
Holy shit this game is awsome! And that's just a one level mp beta! Fantastic visuals and great fun to play, most likely on the top 5 for me this year.
 
So nobody on GAF has disconnection problems? I portforwarded my router and now I can get into matches more easily, but I still get disconnected after playing a couple of minutes :/

The game is great BTW, no-brainer perorder with a hope that there won't be any problems with the retail version
 
Pity the melee is context-based rather than an active interaction like the mantis. It's quite inconvenient to be in a specific area near the enemy to activate it.
 
Can't get over how good this game looks and plays on my Vita. I'm not a huge fps guy but I'm really enjoying it, defo day1 for me (and now I really really can't wait for Shadow Fall)
 
This totally blew me away. I had my doubts, but this seems to totally deliver. I hope it ends up having a big community. Could definitely see myself putting hours and hours into this before bed every night.
 
Okay, after increasing gyro sensitivity to maximum now aiming feels much better. However, I don't seem to be able to run consistently, since the same button is mapped to running and crouching. Any tips?
 
I haven't much issues with spawning. I've been spawned in front of someone (enemy) once and behind them once. It has been pretty solid thus far though.
 
I've downloaded it and it looks great and plays good too, though the sticks feel a bit loose at times. The spawning needs fixing though, it's Call of Duty bad.

Yeah - how foolish of us for CONSTANTLY going on about it (looks up, sees a couple of posts) - sorry man, how dare we report ERRORS in a BETA TEST thread.

I won't be so stupid next time.

It was more of a genral statement about what ive been reading on multiple forums. Anyhow, better place to report problems is the official website/forums.

P.S. If im having connection issues during a beta I generally just assume they are stress test related.

It happened to me once yesterday so I closed the game completely and started again and got in with no problem. I'm guessing you have already tried that tho already?
 
Unbelievable graphics. It really does look like Killzone 2. Guerrilla has insane skills to pull off something like this.

And the gameplay is just so, so good. A portable shooter that's just as good as a console experience? Finally! Buying two copies, one for me and for my cousin so we can play.

To solve? Touch one of the icons on the left or right, then the one in the middle. If it is correct it will go green and remove that icon. Repeat for the second icon to unlock the perk. If it is the wrong symbol the middle will flash red. Once you have the perk, deploy it by touching the lower left side of your screen.
 
I have access via psplus, so my code wasn't working. That said, here is the code-

NKNE-CMN2-2A8R.

I don't know if it works outside of EU. Please let me know if you've taken it and if it works.

I was matching the orange segments. Doh.. Thanks anyway!
 
Super impressive everybody who enjoys FPS games should pick this up if they have a Vita. I only have minor complaints such as no voice chat (it seems like anyway) and I'd love it if they would widen the FoV its so close in. Otherwise its fantastic!
