The OP did well not to sully his first posts with that shit.

wut?

I'm very excited about that JetPack!

 

[supermackem]

Epic op, i needs me some killzone 3 stat.

 

[gibration]

I hope I can get this day 1. I don't want to miss out on the map pack for pre-ordering.

 

[panda21]

I could go check out the multiplayer maps, I have played 3 different ones so far and to me they seem pretty big, they have a lot of routes. There's 8 multiplayer maps in all.

please please please

especially is there anything as big and open as phyruss rise

salamun market was big, but still not the same kind of scale and wasn't that open, same goes for the map in the kz3 beta

 

[Sethos]

Fantastic OP - Can't wait for my LE Edition to arrive ... And my Panasonic P50VT20 so I can see what all this 3D business is about.

 

[commish]

It's not a big deal really, all it does is tend to make the maps not woth getting as few people play them unless you sell COD levels of copies. The Maps in KZ2 didn't fracture the community, just hardly anyone played them.

Obviously giving us those maps would have been superior and holding out such a nice thing for preorders only is bullshit.

Right right, what I'm saying. Just another dumb move - either no one plays them, or it fractures the community. It's just idiotic to have map packs like this at release.

 

[sn00zer]

Reviews confuse me
all seem to say great things about the game...and then 8.0

 

[SonOfABeep]

looking forward to this. finally got into KZ2 multiplayer lately.

That helghast helmet thing looks fucking ugly

they should call it the killzone3 shame edition

 

[user friendly]

OP, you're missing the EU LE jungle green dual shock controller bundle.

I saw that for sale seperately in Canada.

hush you

The excellent art direction of Killzone is not to be stained with trash like home avatars.

All depends on the scale the reviewers in question use, no?

Used correctly, an 8 is an excellent score and absolutely in line with "saying great things about the game".

 

[Carl]

Fantastic OP mate.

Looking forward to getting this game Wasn't looking forward to it much before the demo, but i really am now!

 

[Barrett2]

Nice OP.

Day 1 purchase for sweet 3D, Rico deep thoughts dialogue, and 5.1 multiplayer death noise grunting

 

[kinoki]

Getting this day 1. My gf is away and I have 3 days off from work. Will have alot of fun online. Hopefully the community will be alot more alive and kicking than Killzone 2 is now.

Try the demos. You will pre-order immediately.

Edit: Damn! Forgot to leave a compliment to alr1ghtstart for another excellent OP! 11/10!!!!!

 

[electroshockwave]

They should have just had the retro map pack for all new copies like Gears 2 did, IIRC.

Despite all the complaints from the "kz2 vets", I am pretty sure kz3 is going to appeal to a lot more people then it's predecessor.

 

[Bradach]

Excellent OP!
Day one for me. I read somewhere on GAF about the SP campaign being a bit short. Any truth to that? Anyone know the avg playthrough time?

 

[Zozobra]

Is that Sharp-Shooter thing available in Canada? Anyone have a price on it?

 

[RoboPlato]

I really hope I get my PS3 back from Sony before this comes out.

Shurs, a gaffer that played the SP and made a preview in another thread reported a 6-8 hours campaign time. Par to the course on this genre.

 

[Snuggles]

Sharpshooter impressions are a must. I feel a lot more confident about playing with the Move on it's own after the demo, but I'm ready to take it to the next level and put my Move in some overpriced chunk of plastic if it adds to the experience.

Dammit, I also need a Navi too. I don't like holding on the the left half of the DS2, it's just not natural for me.

If you going to take the plunge with the Sharpshooter the Navi is a given. I'm still considering that too...

 

[toxicgonzo]

From the IGN REVIEW

9.5 Graphics
Killzone 3 is easily one of the best looking games on any current platform, and makes war-torn worlds look beautiful.

Yes! Though the water in the single player demo did not look right.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
The single player doesn’t have all that much replayability, but the multiplayer could last someone hours and hours.

I expected that.

I'm still waiting for more impressions on the Move once the initial "new toy" factor wears away. I wanna see if it's an actual viable control device for multiplayer or if Move players will eventually go back to the dualshock control. I like the quick aiming of the Move but the thought of literally dragging my screen left and right just to turn doesn't seem fun long term.

They gave Modern Warfare 2 10 for visuals.

Cool, I didn't know about this. I already have enough points so that I means I can get the map pack without preordering. Woo! Thanks GraveRobberX!

 

[Rikyfree]

How do I put my name on the google spreadsheet. I know how to go to the address (quote post) but I can't figure out how to put my name in there.

Also, when the slurpee code is redeemable I will hold a little contest to give away one free map pack. So stay tuned.

If I preorder it at Bestbuy, do I get the retro pack? Its not too clear in the OP or BB website. If not, I would hope a gaffer comes to the rescue and gives me 4 points, 7/11 is pretty far from my house.

See you in MvsC3 this week

For SP, the Move controls work great. For MP, the increased accuracy could not compensate for the decreased mobility compared to the DS3. I'm sure someone will come in and tell me to practice more and link to some videos of ppl doing amazing things with the move, but it just wasn't for me.

 

[Facism]

See you in MvsC3 this week

I'll be picking that up! Really got my gash juicy!

 

[Mr. Sam]

The most comprehensive OT since, well, Killzone 2. This comes out on my birthday. Schweet.

Dual Shock 3 is dead to me!

Thanks for sharing your experience for it. That is kind of how I imagine it would be. Even watching YouTube videos of move players it was even frustrating to watch how poorly they maneuvered around the maps, having to pull their screen with each turn. I guess if the Move would be great if you are a sniper that doesn't move around much.

Son of a..

My bad, thanks AS. My eyes went right to the "retro map pack" under that. Thats good news but I am weary on BB Canada coming through. I have a feeling they will screw me somehow.

 

[nib95]

Great OP, love everything but the banner. Anyway, look what popped in today!

 

[Corto]

Didn't someone at GG said that Move would have a quick turn button/ gesture or am I mistaking Killzone 3 with Socom 4?

 

[Bradach]

Prefect, that puts my mind at ease. I'd heard 3-4 hours but he must have been talking rubbish!

 

[Forsete]

I've had mine per-ordered for a while.

This gens best looking FPS will calm my graphics whore cravings will U3 gets here.
SP Co-op demo was great IMO. Coop alone will result in KZ3>KZ2.

Looking forward to playing this, but not at launch. Will probably pick it up in a few weeks when I clear some of my backlog.
