Killzone 3 = best FPS gameplay!

been playing the singple player demo and all i can say is WOW..gameplay wise, i think the game has the best slide to lock cover mechanics for a FPS (being it the only FPS that does this) ...it feels so smooth and perfect, the speed of the game is has been improved and feels so much better...the melee combat is very nice addition and very satisfying.

Only complaints is the graphics..due to the lack of blur, the game doesn't look as good..tho the textures are better.

all in all, the gameplay is nailed. can't wait for the full game.

This game for me goes above COD and completely smashed Halo..yet for some reason seems to be unnoticed by the GS review. Due to the slide/cover and immersive/realistic gunplay with the addition of a quick and effective melee system i don't see other FPS with this rewarding combination. This is what K2 should have been like.

IMO, of course.

Is the gameplay/controls any better than that piece of **** you call Killzone 2?

If the only other first person shooters you play are CoD and Halo, I can understand how you'd come to such a conclusion.

I love the gameplay as well. I think they have nailed it in terms of finding a balance between making you feel like you are moving and holding a weapon and having faster paced gameplay. It really feels like they hit the sweet spot, as far as my taste goes.

Is this demo releasing for everyone at some point, or is it PS+ exclusive only? :roll:

And by the way, I'd like to add that I think Bad Company 2 completely destroys KZ3 in the gameplay department. Everything from movement, , controls, shooting mechanics, immersion. You name it, I think Bad Company 2 is better.

I liked the controls from KZ2 more. It made the game feel unique compared to other consoles games.

Translation:

The game no longer sports vaseline to hide its graphical shortcomings so you may be disappointed.

By the way in regards to the title of this thread.. No Way. Not saying the game isn't fun but again no way.

Crysis 1 imo has the best FPS gameplay.

TF2 for online.

controls: no

objective gameplay: actully yes. No other console FPSseems to pull off team objective gameplay lke Kz3.

I played the SP demo as well and really liked it. If the whole campaign is like that than it mgiht become my favorite FPS campign this gen

Reach and Bad Company 2 are my favourite shooters when it comes to gameplay. KZ3 does look pretty fun aswell going by vids.

The KZ3 beta is pretty fun, but it doesn't really feel special enough to be up there with the best.

The KZ3 beta actually feels better than any other FPS I've played, which includes ones far better than CoD or Halo.

Playing a demo and it's amazingly good. Might be the second best thing after PC TF2 this gen.

I should have been more specific, apparently. The gameplay is supposed to feel like you are a soldier, kited out with heavy equipment. In that sense, Killzone feels far more realistic than the feeling of being on ice skates with a pea shooter like Call of Duty does. Not everyone likes the feeling of weight that Killzone has, but some of us find it to be quite right, especially with the balance in the middle that they have in KZ3. To each their own, know what I mean?

Why do you hate Killzone 2 so much?

After creating a Hong Kong account to play the game, I have to agree. It trumps KZ2 in almost every single way. The cover system is miles better, movement and turning is quicker, even Rico isn't as much of a ****head as he usually is.

Oddly I think the character models actually look worse than they did in KZ2. In the cutscenes Sev looks more cartoony than before.

While I am digging the beta I still think Bad Company, Halo and Left 4 Dead pull off team objective gameplay but each in there own way, but as another poster said objective is cool butyou still cant beat warzone.

Objective gameplay usually comes down to players rather than the game in my experience. I'd say the KZ community seems more prone to play like a team than, say, CoD, but the actual game doesn't have any real team play conducive mechanics.

I don't mean like gameplay mechanics that encourage team work, as the ****s and such do that just find. I'm talking about like squad commands a la BC2 or MAG, easy ways to issue orders and such without having to speak into the mic.

KZ2's squad chat was good for that though, since you didn't get drowned out by the whole team, so you knew that it was your squad talking. You could also easily see what ****s they were playing as. This is the only way I feel that KZ3 is a step down, the interface is no where near as polished and functional as KZ2.

IMO, of course.

Of course. Any PS3 exclusive "totally smashes" Halo :roll: yet they can never outscore it...BodyElite

Halo is so mediocre that being a better game is not really hard.
