Re: Killzone 3

Shows how good the Move tech is, but I agree, I could never play a game like that.

Looking very good.

Re: Killzone 3

I will say this... I've been playing Metroid Prime a bit on my Wii lately, and once you get used to "Move" type controls, it IS pretty intuitive. I have no plans to pick up Move anytime in the near future just so I can play a collection of crappy minigames, but depending on how reviews look for Killzone, etc, with use of the Move, I may be tempted to bite the bullet.

[DickDalewood]

Re: Killzone 3

OK, yup, if they can make this control like Metroid Prime 3 (where, on the "Advanced" control settings, the gun doesn't need to hit the edge of the screen to make the player turn), then this Move setup could be awesome. I know I'm pulling a 180 here, but the way Prime controls is amazing, as it's almost identical to what your used to with a controller, but with MUCH greater precision and accuracy.

I'm definitely interested to see where this goes.

Talk about I game I can't wait for...

Re: Killzone 3

Sounds like a sweet deal, I just hope I'm not too caught up in MoH so I remember to DL the theme and get one of those beta codes. Game looks absolutely awesome and with it being Move compatible that's just more of a selling point for me.

Re: Killzone 3

Looks good, but I am not liking the new Sarge. His voice sounds so wimpy.

Ryan, didn't play KZ2 very much, huh?

Those melee kills are ghastly.

The ending was great.

Re: Killzone 3

Agreed Flawless.

Hate that advantage thing, plus I hate that everything is unlocked at the start even if it is for 24 hours. If I do pre-order I won't use the code, because unlocking weapons is one of the most fun things about a FPS. Gives you an incentive to keep playing. I like the retro map pack though.

I wonder if the code is going to end up selling for a good price on ebay .. hmmm
