Killzone Mercenary looks “Gorgeous”: engine almost the same as KZ3, says report

@48 If I say retard and generally don’t direct it at anyone its usually addressed for O’Connor. Just saying

Ni No Kuni Vita btw would be excellent though.

did u even read what i quoted? you know the stuff that you said earlier in the thread?

Sony are the very definition of style over substance: Cutscenes first and foremost, visuals second and finally slap in some QTE’s or really long corridors to make the ‘games’ ‘playable’.

Nintendo are the opposite: Gameplay first, visuals to fit. As it should ALWAYS be.

@erthazus killzone sells well and makes money for them. it has a hardcore following. why should they not fund it anymore? the game is not for me. i do not like it. i did like resistance though especially the third one was fun to play

@54 Troll post?

Sony has plenty of games with substance over style. I mean… seriously, come on… LittleBigPlanet, for crying out load!

Same old hater trying to turn this into slugfest like no. 54.

@killesense: sure i did read it. i was talking about people praising shit just because it´s their favourite platform, while saying everything else sucks…well that´s something i´ve never ever done. sure, i love many nintendo games, so what? i am a haloholic and a jak,daxter, ratchet, sly medievil fan too.
but i am repeating myself here….sigh

@56 YES! LBP is ace !

@55, WRONG. Killzone does not sell very well compared to other Sony hits.

vgchartz just for lulz. But,

http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/11292/killzone-3-sales-disappointing – FACT.

Wow O’connor your stupid post actually did me some good for a chance. I almost forgot LBP karting is only $10 in the PS Store this week. Time to take advantage of that website purchasing option to have it downloaded automatically when I get home.

Unfortunately, LBP-Karting is garbage.

how is 2.4 million a failure? I don’t understand

@ killersense:

i was just taking a leak…you know what? i have a “selfmade” Journey poster in my bathroom.it´s a poster of a sanddune and an ocean. sunset. footsteps on the dune. cheesy thing. i printed out the Journey guy. cutted it out and sticked him on top of the dune…now that poster is just awesome…just saying.

@63, “http://digitalbattle.com/2010/02/20/top-10-most-expensive-video-game-budgets-ever/”

it’s on 10th as the most expensive video game budget. In this console generation 2 million from AAA title is not really a good seller.

Look at Gears Of War 2-3 – 5 million, Uncharted sales – 5 million or 6. Metal Gear Solid 4, Halo’s and other AAA titles.

Well by that chart if it did cost 45 million. Then they made close to 100million on KZ3. Even if you consider the possibility that they did a price drop after making profit they still made the cost of development back plus. Making it a success.

Sure you would like games to do upper 5-10 million but that doesn’t equal failure if it doesn’t make it that marker. Most of our beloved titles in the old days never saw figures like these they still succeeded

@polygem maybe you need to be more clear when posting nonsense like that. saying that with no context and you expect people read through ign comments sections to figure out what exactly you are implying? for every ps3 fanboy you see that posts stuff they love their platform and everything else sucks i can find a nintendo fanboy that does the same so i don’t see your point of singling out one side of fanboys? i am not even saying you don’t like the ps3 or aome of its games so idk why you are trying to defend yourself. and i am just pointing out the flaw in your post and saying stuff like style over substance.

@67 lol That!

@erthazus i never said it did gangbusters did i? i said it did well and made them money. do you see articles that say killzone lost money for them>? surely sony are not THAT dumb to be green lighting more killzone projects if it is losing them money? they are not afraid of closing studios that lose them money from witnessing the closures in the past 2 years. companies struggle to sell 2.5 millions copies on multiple platforms so it is not bad to sell close to a million copies at full retail price and the rest discounted or when the price fell.

@67: i like the ps3 but i hate the community. when it comes to ignorance the sonybots are winning the cup hands down. just my 2 cents. unbiased as can be. never was a platform fanboy at all.

EDIT:

“you expect people read through ign comments sections to figure out what exactly you are implying?”

man, just read other pages, other forums, embrace the sony fan. you´ll be ashamed. what i posted there about ign is general knowlege though – i thought. BEYOND!

@68: lol That!

I don’t think you realized he’s not talking about the community. It is solely directed at a common contradiction you are just know to do. I didn’t think you would understand what he was saying too though. That you would again redirect it away from yourself.lol

see

not

no…i did read it again lex…he just didn´t get my point, did he? i was talking about the community. no contradictions in my posting. just misinterpreted by da killer…but yeah why not just lol that.

@56

LBP is actual a good example of pretty awful gameplay.

The platforming in that game is a joke. Even the design elements were hampered by having to use the pad.

Vita one sounds much better in that respect but still an average playing game.

I remember when I first saw Little Big Planet, I was like:

‘Wow, Sony finally have a contender for Mario on it’s platform…’

Then I played it…

@ Topic:

This game looks good but should have come out near launch, this should be the announcement of a sequel.

I just can’t seeing this doing that well OR shifting any units atall. Also, this game wasn’t even that popular as a franchise in Japan, thats where Sony needs to do the most legwork.

The Vita has dual sticks, but after playing Uncharted I found it doesn’t suit itself that well too action games. Maybe it was just me and my manly hands, but playing it for longer than 15 minutes gave me serious cramp. Stupid placement of the sticks (right one should have been lowered) and the trigger buttons were really shitty.

If i ever get one again, I will have to buy some kind of docking station. My hands simply aren’t ‘dainty’ enough for it to be comfortable.

Yep, LBP looks lovely, is charming, quirky. Ticked all the boxes visually.

It plays like shit though.

lol and now Killer knows why I steer away from you.

@polygem there you go with nonsense again. where are you getting the stats to say one fanbase is winning the cup hands down ign comments? lmao. here let me try this. nintendo fanboys are the worst hands down and then add just my 2 cents like you….

believe it or not you are a nintendo fanboy and you probably don’t even realize it. the way you praise the wii u and the 3ds you will find it hard to convince anybody you are not. i am only saying this is because you have nothing negative to say about nintendo. everything they do is magic!! i like sony and some of their exclusives but i hate the constant updates and installs and hope for a better experience next time? can you point out something you don’t like about the wii u or 3ds? i hope you can because i surely can

@75
Having played the majority of both there is a hell of a lot more invention, innovation and fun in LBP Vita than NSMBWU.

@79
Stop feeding the trolls.

Unfortunately NSMBWU is creatively completely bankrupt. Weakest of the WiiU launch titles by far, IMO.

@dragon
actually at this point you are right. i give up.

@82
I wasn’t the one to bring up Mario in a Vita thread whilst claiming LBP wasn’t very good though was I . LBP Vita is the best of the series, works very well on a handheld and in it’s own right (not just in comparison with a fairly shoddy Mario) is a very good game.

@ killer: we had this debate. i posted several things i don´t like about nintendo. please don´t make me look for all this again. i said i think the quality of the 3ds xl is rubbish, that the screen isn´t as crisp, that the absence of VC on wiiu is BS, that you have to boot into wiimode to play wii games isn´t that great, that wii games aren´t playable on the pad stinks AND SO ON. yes, i think nintendo does a lot of things right and yes i don´t think it´s a flaw that the 3ds only has one analog stick and not as many “mature” games than other platforms.
i also praised the 360 pad and ranted about the ads on xbl. i praised resistance right here and at the same time said that i think many, no, a lot of the sony fans are annoying, which is a shame because count me in, i´m a fan of sony games as well. so what´s the problem? seriously. i don´t get it.

“nintendo fanboys are the worst hands down and then add just my 2 cents like you….”

sure you can say that if that´s your 2 cents. i feel very different about all that though. miiverse community is just awesome really.

@ lex again: remember. one day. i tried to have a conversation with you. i tried to hold back and be nice. you spoiled it. how old are you again? but whatever. let´s just lol at each other if that´s your style. but talking about “contradictions”…this lol posting isn´t exactly “steering away” from me man lol. lol

Wow are non SONY fans still arguing about how much they rather catch pokemon than play this gorgeous game? I’m mean seriously why so much debate over a Vita game that we all know was going to turn out to be superb anyway. Its KillZone duhhhhhhhh.

see?

Aye you haven’t tried to have a convo with me at all. Not once actually.

And last I checked. I was being nice, told you I wouldn’t call you out anymore. In which I didn’t Killer did. I just thought it was ironic that you keep getting the same flack from more new and old people yet I still only get crap from the “defense forces?”

I lol’d a lot at the things you guys pawn off as staying on topic. Like I said before it is what it is and I am still doing a good job not talking to you about games and you opinion.

Killer has that one

yea, i hear you, you just ´lol side punch comment´ like the rest of the backstab bunch and let others do the work for you. i get that. loveley and manly style…so while tea is talking about pokemons (a game i never was into btw): you are seeing yourself as the trainer and killer as the pokemon right?

Does “Nintendo Magic” give you a persecution complex?

Nope, I just think irony is funny. Honestly, that’s all.

For instance If I started running around forecasting doom and gloom it would be funny if someone called me out on it. Would be great to laugh at myself

How the hell did you guys go from KZ Mercenary to this?

Anyway, I’m actually pretty baffled by this news.
A portable KZ3 is not what I want. Why in the world would I play a portable KZ3 when I already have KZ3? While I’m not actually fond of Liberation, I thought it worked well as a handheld game.
Sony really should stop treating the Vita as a portable PS3.

lex laughing at himself. that´s something i will have to see with my own eyes first to believe it.

@92: oh happened like always. i said something negative about sony (or in this case sony fans). boom. here we go again…

i also said a lot of positive things though. but that doesn´t matter. i said something bad. nasty me. and the thing is: i am even responsible for this mess now. the irony: that was exactly what i was trying to say about sony fans to begin with

@84

I did say the Vita one looks better.

The first 2 from a control aspect were awful however.

If it still controls like shit on the Vita, that would be a shame because the touch screen really helps this game become what it was always intended to be IMO.

Same reason I think Nintendo should (but won’t) add a level creation system for smash brothers U, it would work really well with the tablet.

@Killer

Nintendo fanboys have always been the same for the Sega vs. SNES days, usually (not always) focussing on gameplay.

A good example was Sonic vs. Marioworld, entirely subjective obviously but a lot of people argued that Sonic was a better title.

Now, preferences aside, it’s pretty obvious the gameplay in most Sonic titles is pretty shitty compared to the tight control you see in most Mario games.

Obviously you get some nutters in there, but hopefully most talk about gameplay, something Nintendo obviously does well.

Sony changed the dynamic slightly by focusing on the teenage boy (FHM) crowd, and, unfortunately since then the waters have been muddied.

You end up with idiots talking about TEH CELL and Bluray being awesome for gaming. The same kind of people who thought tomb raider was better than Mario 64.

Regardless of your chosen console, I have no time for people that fall into that category, I think Poly is roughly in the same frame of mind.

Same old shit, new day.

@86

Tea, you raved about Killzone 3 before I got my PS3. So much so it was one of the first titles I bought, but, dude…

It wasn’t a great game… :/

Nice eye candy but gameplay was seriously lacking, and the characters were all a bit dooshy!

@95 Indeed.

@95

Its a new day?! Why didn’t anyone tell me?!

http://mynintendonews.com/2013/01/28/donkey-kong-64-goldeneye-dev-leaves-microsoft-for-sony/

it´s all there, microsoft, sony and donkey kong

@99

Lol, that has everything in it!
