Killzone 3 Open Beta Stars Feb 3rd

The gameplay is pretty poor imo. Looks amazing etc, but it just isn't that much fun to play imo. I think Brink will be the next best shooter

Its similar in combat mechanics (if not identical) to Killzone 2 which some preferred over the COD style. So i guess if you liked Killzone 2 then you would like this :) Not sure how it is defined as pretty poor? Did they miss something out? The gameplay in K2 was generally agreed to be one of its strengths.
 
It's not if they missed anything out or not...It's the fact that the game play just isn't fun. It feels a bit dorkey, and still theres something about the controls that i don't like. They improved response times, but it still doesn't feel right.
 
Takes some getting used to if u play something like black ops then straight into this, the controls seem more sluggish but thats the way of the game and i have my sensitvity down y is at 10% and x is at 20%, i gripe i have is then game seem very dark, was playing as in infiltraitor and got shot in a dark room my screen went black and i couldnt see anything( in game brightness is at full and tv is at 80)
 
Tried this last night, having got used to Move fps gaming on MAG, I'm finding the experience has been refined further. Theres a definite tangible advantage to using the Move imo, but you absolutely have to calibrate it well and play with the settings in KZ3 until you get the right feel.
I've not had to re calibrate during a session once myself, so if you're having to do that at all, then you're probably doing something wrong in the first place.

I've not had to recalibrate during a session, though I've found it takes more calibration than I've ever experienced on the Wii, and it might be me, but I don't find Move any more accurate than the Wii - certainly not comparing this to Metroid Prime.

I have found, like you say, that when it's worked it does feel great. I've mastered aiming, but it's just getting used to turning and moving more than anything for me.

Played several online games last night and thought I'd get destroyed due to using Move and only playing against bots, but I did consistently well really across each game I played.
 
Stella did for a bit but said it was laggy - I tried a few times without luck - very annoying when you just want a quick few games. Ill be on late tonight to attempt again. I swear this didnt happen as often on the closed beta, so I guess whatever resources they used then they used again but as its public the servers quite quickly get oversubbed...

I enjoy the game but need to get used to the controls as Im super slow/inaccurate compared to most - I did have a decent game last night, just before it crashed at scoreboard and I lost my XP :/...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
managed a few games this afternoon it seemed a bit choppy compared to last night .
i will try again tonight after 9ish to see if i can get a few hours in .
really need to start getting some points with my tach guy and start taking some spawn points you can get a good tatical advantage you just need a few in team to help hold it down then work from there .

It certainly helps to keep the pressure on the other team and for the bomb plant missions :)
 
How do you identify a spawn point? Is it the red/green rectangles which all contain ammo crates?

they show up as clear icons when they have not been taken green for your team and red for the enemies its like a slash with a circle round it .
sorry if its not a good explanation i think they only show up when your the tactician guy .
 
downloaded this and had a few goes and im very undecided, but i have been playing black ops a lot since release and its so different that im tempted to pickup KZ2 first before shelling out the cash for this one.
