Killzone 3 multiplayer beta available for EU PS Plus members to download

SCEE’s announced it will allow PS Plus members in Europe to download the Killzone 3 multiplayer beta.
The move will be on limited offer for today only.
The taster was previously available to those who were within one of 10,000 people who downloaded a special XMB theme from the PS Store.
From the EU PS Blog:
“For a limited amount of time today, you will be able to download the Beta straight from the PlayStation Plus section of the PS Store.
We will not be sending emails or voucher codes for this; it will simply be available for you to download straight to your console.”
Get on it. Now!
Killzone 3 launches next February for PS3.

For the record, it is awesome. In fact, I have the code I got when I got the XMB theme that’s untouched.
I might give that away on the VG Twiter later.

It is awesome I know that guys. I’ve been drooling over the you tube vids for weeks but $50 just for this beta when you still have to pony up $60 in two more months? Not really worth it. I could see if this was JULY than hell yea. But at least “I” can wait don’t know about others.
Still have NFS,GT5,SW Unleashed,COD:BO, and others to keep me busy.

Except for graphics. It has the worst graphics in this generation FPS games in most cases compare to RAGE and e.t.c.
Just made a few pictures from the beta:

Dude, I’m not even going to get into an argument with an obvious 12 year old fanboy over Killzone 3 beta having “the worst graphics of FPS’s this generation” as it’s such an obvious ridiculous statement to begin with! LMFAO!!!

@8, He’s a classic pc fanboy, to him- graphics>gameplay & story. I could bet he has the most expensive graphics card, the most powerful procesor & 32gb of ram in his computer rig, so probably $2000 for a better picture? i would rather wait 5 years & pay $500 & put up with average graphics in the mean time, aslong as it works i’m fine, but he can’t comprehend that.When he ay worst graphics this gen, he’s probably trying to say compared to pc versions…

@Crysis, TEA
“Also uing Alpha code doen’t help what ever argument you were trying to make…”
So you would know. Alpha build means that the core design is done and they can’t remove anything except of adding few graphical effects or patch it.
The game is done. The real version is in the Guerrilla headquarters where they test it. It’s done and it looks like a horrible piece of crap from the last generation with HUGE amount of post processing effects that are done by Cell Microprocessor.
From the software development it is a massive failure. the game is done and there are tons of gameplay trailers out there.

Don’t you love LOW poly body parts, LOW poly legs, LOW poly fingers, LOW poly head.
Only On the Playstation 3.
@Crysis, “He’s a classic pc fanboy, to him- graphics>gameplay & story. I could bet he has the most expensive graphics card, the most powerful procesor & 32gb of ram in his computer, o probably $3000 for a better picture? i would rather wait 5 years & pay $500″

What are you showing us there…footprints in the snow? Cool!
I’ll say this. I own and love both PS3, X360, and also do a fair amount of PC gaming with a GTX465, trust me i’m a graphics whore as much as the next guy.
Personally, I think KZ3 beta graphics are SO good, they make Halo Reach look last gen. But to say KZ3 looks last gen is unwarranted and just plain stupid.
P.S. Have you played the game, or just looked at pictures…..HMMM?

“your not even worth the time.”
End of discussion then, because you can’t prove me that i’m wrong here. Good luck. Have a nice day playing with Great graphics by the power of the PS3 with huge amount of post processing effects. At least gameplay mechanics are worth playing this game.

“Troll harder. Playstation 3 cocksucker.” How am i a playstation cocksucker? please explain! I’ve nearly reached colonel on Halo Reach so i’ve played a significant amount of time on my 360, also have played a lot of time on my pc playing the Dawn of War series, lately my PS3 is used as a media box in the lounge room or when a AAA multiplat gets released (such as Assassins Creed which i’ll have later on today
) , so back to my point, Please Explain how i am a Playstation 3 cocksucker.

Hey Erthazuz,
It’s not about me proving you wrong dude, again, I’m at work and don’t have the time (I have a life), nor is it even worth my time, it’s more like this – I like the game, you don’t. Big fucking deal. Move on. Hence my peace out comment, dig?

P.S. “Good luck?” With what? What do i need luck for again? Oh yeah, proving you wrong? Again, LMFAO!!!!!! I’ll be sure to get right on that……….

Been playing the multiplayer a little and even in Alpha it looks better then many other high profiled online games. It beats Black Ops back to the stone ages on that part….
And to the fanboys…you know we hate you. Everyone hates you, so go down back in the basement and lock the door.

@16, it’s not that he hates the game, but that it doesn’t look great when compared to crysis using the best graphics card, so he has to keep saying that exact same thing time after time, we get it, we expect a $300 graphics card to be superior to a console costing the same price, does he have a single good thing to say about console games? would be a good change of pace, we all know he’s addicted to his pc & can’t understand why people play consoles, but there’s no reason to why he mention it 20 times a day on this blogsite, it’s exactly why so many people hate him, he’s just plain annoying.

I was one of the *few* who got a code & to my shame I’ve played it once… New Vegas just eats up my time! My only gripe is that its a bit grim, a bit of colour would be nice. Ok I know its a war ravaged industrial shit hole, just saying is all. Oh & way are the light machine guns so weak? Using half my clip to down a guy is not cool, if the little fuck only needs to tag me once with a shotgun :/

I think Resistance 2 have the worst graphics as a “big title” in this gen.
I liked KZ2, can’t wait for the 3rd one.

I don’t think those pics do the game justice tbf. I’ve played the beta & in motion Killzone is stunning. Sure its not crisp & clean, its dirty, grimy & visceral. The smoke and lighting effects really nail the inner city warzone vibe & I look forward to the snow levels. More importantly the gameplay is tighter & more responsive. Once Guerilla add the final polish Killzone will knock you out your socks.

“I don’t think those pics do the game justice tbf.”
I can make some more.
“The smoke and lighting effects really nail the inner city warzone vibe & I look forward to the snow levels.”
thats the only thing that is done right in the game, by using LOTS of post processing effects…
but other stuff just looks bland as hell, it’s like they optimized it for 3D or something else.
“Once Guerilla add the final polish Killzone will knock you out your socks.”
They already did it. Knocked my socks off by using LOW poly body parts and fingers from the Playstation 2 era seriously.

Erthazus, are you the one that was complaining about Killzone 3 having 2D and/or sprite based explosions before?
Dude, the game looks freakin’ fantastic in motion, regardless of how they pulled it off. To say it has “the worst graphics of this gen” is flame/troll bait, plain and simple. Do us all a favor…..

@31, “Erthazus, are you the one that was complaining about Killzone 3 having 2D and/or sprite based explosions before? ”
BTW, they have these explosions. Maybe i will make a Youtube video, but it’s hard to capture it and it’s not that really noticeable really.
2D explosions there is because of Post Processing effects. There are so much smoke, snow that use CPU too hard that makes everything else look like shit.
“Dude, the game looks freakin’ fantastic in motion, regardless of how they pulled it off.”
It’s not. Yes, motions are VERY good. I can agree with that. But again:
I saw only this:

Your picture links mean nothing to me and are literally pointless. COD:BO has similar low-res textures, but the game is still fucking awesome. You seem like a glass half empty kind of guy, whereas I’m the opposite.

“COD:BO has similar low-res textures, but the game is still fucking awesome.”
solid game with shitty engine. Nothing more. Animations only look like current gen, everything else like explosions and e.t.c. looks “bland and outdated”. But even Black Ops is 50-60 frames per second with decent design compared to Killzone 3.
@OrbitMonkey, “you hear the rumour that the next Fallout will likely us the same graphics engine?”
thats really cool, but i really don’t care about engine and graphics in the RPG genre. What is important that Obsidian should do a sequel to Fallout game and not Bethesda (except Bethesda should do a testing job)
If RAGE engine (Id Tech 4) and Obsidian writers could make a Fallout game than this could be a masterpiece.

Fucking EXCELLENT multiplayer game! I do believe I will have to get platinum in it when time comes.
It’s so much fun, and I love the new stuff like CQB, unlock points, jetpacks, vehicles etc.!
