I think TTP already reviewed it favorably (don't take my word for it though). It looks good, seems comfortable and I have a feeling Sony is going to make sure first party shooter games support it (seeing how K3 and Socom are confirmed).TheExecutive said:
If you have the money and are into shooters (and Move, of course), I'd say go for it. Keep in mind that next generation can't be too far away though, so at most you'd be getting two years out of it if you're an early adopter and move isn't forward compatible - which I doubt very much.

No I haven't picked up a sharpshooter yet but from the impressions I've read on the sharpshooter it basically makes it easier to point for sniping and such movements but more difficult to turn because now the move is further away from your body so it requires more movement. More comfortable to use standing up than sitting down, and people seem to like the trigger and button placements.

That's how it was for Reach for me. I don't know how Sony does it though.Irish said:

So how long is the SP campaign then?, people on my home forum are throwing this link around http://ps3.nowgamer.com/news/5130/killzone-3-campaign-45-hours-long-proof saying that it's only 4.5 hours long but I find that hard to beleive?
Anyone got any proof it's longer so I can set them straight please.

For Gamestop you had to pre-order to get the bonus with Reach. The Recon helmet was for just purchasing Reach on launch day, kind of an incentive to get the game before they shipped out copies without the code. The Multi-threat armor was the actual pre-order thing and you had to preorder it because it was printed on the receipt.
I've heard the Target thing about being on the shelves a few times now, might swing by there today.

Long story short, first impression is bleak and requires getting used to. Will try to finish the demo a couple of times with it to let you know my final impressions. Overall, sharpshooter is very solid but as of now I'm having a bit of a hard time.
Also, there is a slot on top of sharpshooter (like a zoom or laser sight scope) which is for extra added peripherals if any is released in future.

I got the Limited with green DS3 preordered for 68 from Zavvi, not bad I guess
I'm curious to know how the Move fares since 99% of the opinions till now came either from Sony zealots who'd praise anything coming from the corporation (including shit like The Fight) or people bashing it but also always hated (and have zero experiences with) Wii pointer controls anyway.
I'd love to read a well written pros/cons from someone who's proficient with Goldeneye, COD:Blobs, RS2 on Wii.
Otherwise we are bound to the same joke as with impressions on Re5 Gold with Move, which despite being awful and 3 steps backward from Re4 Wii controls, was being lauded as being as good as Re4 Wii's controls... Wasted my money on that one.
Hopefully someone who wasn't a Wii hater before Move got out, will give his honest impressions.

Yeah, that's what I expected. There is no ratonal reason why using the SS should make it easier or more comfortable.

Let me put this like this: you don't know what happened at the end when it ends.
And campaign end is logical, because original Killzone ending-gameplay would not be logical from perspective of the actual story.
If you know what I mean. You don't because you didn't play the game, but ending gameplay couldn't actually be different really.
Killzone 3 is like Killzone 2: The Reckoning. In fact, you should look at it az Killzone 2: The Next Chapter.
Or something like that story-wise.
The only Wii shooter I've played is The Conduit, so I'm not sure how good that is but KZ3 with Move is on another level. I also made the mistake of buying RE5 Gold when Move launched, and this is far from that POS. It really shines when there are 2+ enemies on your screen, and you can just go from one to the next in no time and they're all dead before they even aim at you. The only downside (so far) is turning, it's something that I'm going to get the hang of soon though. In the MP beta I came in first place on my team at least 75% of the games I played because every gun fight I'd get into I would win. Most of my deaths were from being shot from behind.Dash Kappei said:

Demo was pretty decent.
Really disappointed that they haven't implemented model or skin damage. For a title that is (seemingly) doing its best to be "gritty" and violent, that's pretty stunning oversight. Can't quite decide if it is a deal breaker, though, since it isn't as though many other FPS do it (the concept of making a shooter where you shoot things and they look like they've been shot seems a little to complicated for devs these days).

I decided to cancel my Helghast Edition pre-order. I want it so bad but fuck paying over $99 for CE crap is just too much for me. Just going to stick with the standard and spend that $70 on Taco Bell.

They had this sitting on the shelf at the Target near me, wouldn't ring up at the register though. So close...
PS Nation review - Spoiler-free. Also, I played-through twice, once playing with a DS3, and once only using the Move controller.

Hmm, I did both. I started with 3D and got all the way through with it. It's cool using the Move controls in 3D though.
You may have to play with your TV settings a bit with 3D too. I had to turn "Auto" off on my TV, and I set the depth to 80%. The only time I had any weirdness was in cutscenes though.

Are there any better pictures of the Helghast edition than the ones posted by PS.Blog? I'm thinking of getting it but no way if I can't at least see a decent picture of what's in the box first.

Is Sony doing the typical 3 days before launch marketing for this?
Torgo said:
Great review. Love it. But can I make a suggestion non write up orientated? Please could you use less compression with your images. Compared to some other sites and forum captures, they are a lot less crisp. If you could re-host images at higher detail that would be grand.
Either way, some nice shots.
my only experience with the killzone franchise has been the demos of 2 and 3 and the multiplayer beta, and three seems decent but why are we meant to care for the human main characters (who seem the typical military shit) and hate the helghans? I just read the synopsis and background details of the first two games which would make it seem that I should be sympathising with the helghans. They were invaded because others disliked their financial policies and forced to live on the barren planet and slowly mutate.
I know it's just a game but I hate playing through campaigns where I disagree with the 'good guys' and subsequently couldn't give a shit about the plot from then on, like BLOPS. As I said, I haven't played a killzone game apart from demos, I enjoyed the beta but I'm wondering if the campaign is as shallow as most first person shooters or does it try some new things? and feel free to correct me on the plot details cuz I've only just read them so I'm probably missing something

Did you read the backstory on Killzone.com? You will see why they are evil if you read that. Sure they've been shit on a bit. But they are calling for complete genocide of everyone who isn't a Helghast. Keep in mind that the end result of their plan is to completely kill off Earth and Vekta. All we did to them was allow them to move. They weren't really exiled. They chose that fate. But killing off two whole planets sounds evil to me.domlolz said:

Conduit was more than decent for its time, obviously it got completely surpassed now by stuff like Cod:Blops, RS2 and Goldeneye. Nice to hear your impressions, the turning speed is the thing that always needs more time to get used to and to find what's the right bounding box for yoy and how big the turning speed's acceleration edges should be.Bread said:
Hopefully GG will issue a patch for MOVE controls in split-screen as well. :-/
Edit:
Wait a second, I hope those split-screen shots are just stretched?
I mean, how come they're in 1:1?! That'd make no sense whatsoever, you could just have the screen chopped in half vertically instead of black bars top and bottom if SC's visible areas are close to 1:1. Again, probably just a problem with the captures... Hopefully. I very much prefer black bars and to keep the full visible area a la Modern Warfare 2. Otherwise give me the Halo way, everything but not that

Nice. I just tried to play Lost Planet 2 with my brother and it was like taping 2 PSPs on my TV and trying to play from the couch. That looks a little better. Wish there was an option to say fuck the aspect ratio and gun models and just play with a regular split though.
