Would have been nice if they could have left the 'heavy' gameplay in as an option for SP modes, and stuck with the lighter feel for MP.

its gonna be too hard for those morons to adjust between single and multiplayer. either way they'll complain. i can see it now "it just doesnt feel like call of duty." You'd think that having a different name would give them a hint that not all shooters are call of duty.

Heaven forbid an FPS doesn't feel like every other FPS in the world...

Isn't that the problem with FPS's though? Why would you want a genre that is literally, "You play one, you've played them all!"?

Video game dev's seem to need more diversity training within their agencies.

I think he was referring to diversity between different game companies, which I agree with. A game series should never change too much, or it ruins the series, unless of course the changes were necessary or at least needed.

I meant to ask why FPS's feel the need to have a similar mechanic to one another. The last thing KZ needs to do is try to incorporate a more CoD playability. As far as I'm concerned, MW2 is extremely buggy and I hope NO ONE (even CoD franchise) copies it's mechanics. CoD sells on brand name recognition more than mechanics. I understand people are attracted to familiarity, and the last thing people want to see is their favorite genre take a turn to unfamiliar territory.

However, although I recognize the fact that shooters will always mean shooting things, each franchise should incorporate it's own mechanics. Obviously KZ1+2 were popular enough that people enjoyed their playability. I enjoy the OCCASIONAL shooter, but I am not an FPS fan. If one title feels too similar to a previous title I've already played, I simply won't play it.

It's just too bad that dev's feel like they have to become assimilated to a certain style and feel like they cannot take advantage of their own creativity.

This was one of the main factors about the game that I liked. I only ever rented it, but the way it played was the reason I actually liked it. I never bought it simply because I'm not a fan, but after reading this, I'm almost positive I will not get KZ3.

Wow, 2 thumbs down. I'm sorry I have an opinion. All I'm saying is that they've made a mistake. The gameplay of 2 was one of the sole reasons I enjoyed playing it for that short time, and now they go and change it around. Before this, all it would have took was a quick demo to convince me to buy it. Don't get me wrong, it still looks like it would be an amazing game and all, but now that it won't have the one thing (in my opinion) that made it truly stand out, I'll pass.

Edit: Now there's more thumbs down. Really? I didn't even insult the game or anything. What, does it anger people that I'm not going to buy it? Good graphics isn't enough of a sell point for me. A game needs to stand out sometimes. 2 did because of its gameplay, but they got rid of the uniqueness.

Apparently people hate the fact that I think 2 was a good game, and if they take the things from 2 that were good, they will not have a good game. It's not that I care about getting the thumbs down, it's that I am simply don't get why I'm getting them. I like Killzone, honestly.

They are removing the main thing I like about the game. For me, that would be like removing free roam, radio stations, and humor in the GTA games. The realism in Gran Turismo. And the story from Metal Gear Solid. Would you honestly play any of those games if they made those changes?

Edit: Alright I see. I just never thought of that. The way I do it is I only give thumbs down to messages I hate or are offensive or something.

Is that because the overall presentation was authentic, or because the control system was well balanced? I guess where I am going is that a lot of twitch gamers have a very unrealistic view of things, especially combat. I'd hate to see them faced with the real thing. On the other hand, professional soldiers who game must be some of the better players of squad based titles.

I have to disagree about MGS being one of the games. Although Rising is going to be more focused on action than stealth, it has been said that the stealth is still there. Also the cutscenes are going to be shorter. Yes these change the game for the action orientated gamers, but you have to realize that Hideo is not making this one. It's almost more of a spin-off game, rather than the series changing.

It would have been nice if they left that as an option, or if perminate something very similar to BF:BC2, because they did weight controls best.

The thing i didn't like about the weight was how difficult it made it to aim sometimes especially down the iron sites. I've fired quite a few rifles and it's not as hard as Killzone 2 made it out to be. I liked how heavy the guys felt, they should have just made some minor adjustments rather then get rid of it all together.

If you make it an option to use either 'heavy' or 'light' controls then wouldn't the people using the 'light' controls have an advantage over those not using 'light' controls?

And there is also the Move support to consider too.

Ahh crap. I loved the heavy weighted feel to KZ2. I thought that was the whole point of being able to look through the eyes of a soldier? It was supposed to be more realistic wasn't it? That's what I thought when I played Quake for the first time back in the day.

I gave so much credit to KZ2 for going back to the basics with the little things like the control feel. I'm hoping GG takes Highlanders idea and gives us two modes.

Sorry, i may get thumbed down for this, but i actually do like the removal. To me, it just seemed like "lag" rather than weapon heaviness. And also, assuming you are a soldier with a weapon, you would've compensated for the weight the more you use a weapon. Come to think of it, it should be the case that a more frequently used weapon should ever so slightly control much faster than others since there's a learning curve and the soldier gets used to the weight.

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure no one in the world could sling a rocket launcher and giant riot shield like they can in CoD... no matter how used to the weight they are.... especially with their physical build.

Additionally... double shotguns? really? while running? and reload both in 2 seconds? What military trains their soldiers to be dual wielding shotgunners?

I'm sorry, but the weight of weapons is there. You might have an argument to say that aiming is faster to a conditioned soldier, but no one is going to be all that quick footed.

I don't really care either way, I didn't mind the controls, I can pretty much get used to any set of controls because I don't play any one game to death.

But I also don't see what this obsession is with making games as realistic as possible. They are games and I am of the opinion that the fun factor should be taken into consideration over the authentic factor.

One thing that ruined Crysis for me is having to look down and get close to pick up guns. Yes it is more realistic, but it is also annoying. Just a thought.

I am actually excited about this because my brother loves FPSs and he is a die hard call of duty fan. He wanted to like killzone 2 but could not get used to the controls. I am just glad that he will be able to enjoy the 3rd one.

But I agree with highlander 100% that they should give the players the option. It seems like a lot of people like that authentic feel and I'm sure that if they put the option in the single player that it wouldn't take much time and effort and it would give people the best of both worlds.

I'm one of the few but I'm definitely excited by this news. I never really got to a point where I enjoyed KZ2's controls more than the "standard" style found in other games in the genre.

I never had any problem with the controls in Killzone 2. I tried the optional, faster controls for about 10 seconds and switched right back.

My problems were that your missions consisted of stuff like "Kill the 100 guys in front of you, get to the other end of the level, and turn a knob." Or that the ending was frustrating to the point of tedium. Or that you never got a chance to look at all the cool environments because it was just constant running and gunning.

It's not just twitch gamers, just look at all the reviews of the game. The major thing they discounted against it was the wieghted controls. They said it was not "tight" and "unresponsive".

I think he is talking about the weighted/laggy feeling you got while moving the right analogue stick. The realistic movement of the camera while running or jumping or taking cover will probably still be there. In my opinion, that's what made K2 feel authentic, not necessarily the slow aiming.

well, all i got to say is screw you call of duty douchebags. just because you cant hang you just complain. i'm hoping they add an option to add the weight. label it as elites for weight on and p**sy for weight off.

You do understand that what you want is a handicap right? If your that 'elite' then you should be able to hang with people adapted to faster pace movement. Don't p**sy out though...

its no handicap to me. thats because people who go around running and gunning cant see anything but whatevers directly in front of them. Since i usually move strategically, i wont be under any disadvantages. i cant even count how many times i walked past an enemy in MW2. i would be right next to them but they'll just run past me. i usually just tail them and use a sticky grenade on them.

It really is a shame they are removing the weighted controls. I really enjoy the way KZ2 moves. You definitely get used to how they move. Why people complained about this I'll never know. KZ3 is still going to kick @$$ though. I really love the cover system and the controls. Graphics are pretty much supreme in KZ2 to any other shooter i've played. KZ3 will most likely do it better even still.

I am slightly less excited for KZ3, I'm not saying not getting it but the wieghted controls were one of my favorite aspects of the game. I seemed you were carrying a heavy weapon rather than a plastic toy. The move may compencate for this though. I will just wait and see.

I don't know what boat I'm on with the weighted argument. I understand how the game is trying to simulate the weight of the gun by adding a momentum based physics element.

On the flip-side of this.
I think, mentally, our minds naturally co-ordinate the movement of our thumb precisely with the on-screen action.

Should game control be governed by the artificial world in which we engage (KZ2) ?

Or should it be governed by the control interface that interprets our movement between reality and the artificial world?

Or is it somehow a combination of both?

IMO, K2 felt like I was always walking a mile, with snowshoes, through a minefield!

And I loved every damned inch of doing it!!!

But, I surely hope I don't get the feeling of needing a tutu & ballerina slippers to do a simpler waltz-through for K3.

Give me my option button!!!!

Awesome, so the ppl that bitched and moaned about it feeling too different have won. It's the whole reason why I dug so much kz2. I dont buy many fps's (like 1-2 every 4 years not many).

I think a lot of the responses here are knee jerk reactions to this news. I trust that GG will strike a good balance between the 2.

Personally i feel that having two types of controls as options in the single player isn't the best way to go about it.

I didn't mind the feel of KZ2 but i also don't think everyone who disliked the weighted feel were just "twitch CoD Fans" like a lot of people seem to claim.

This is GG's game and i feel they will do what they feel is right for the fanbase. Bottom line is More responsive controls don't equal a less weighted feel to the game. BFBC2 does weight pretty well with the exception of rocket launchers. If the controls are similar to that, it would satisfy both sides of the issue

You say "good balance", I say "completely changed".

"Studio boss Herman Hulst is quoted as saying the "heavy sensation of Killzone 2 is absolutely gone; instead, this feels much closer to standard run-and-gun responsiveness.""

I hope you're right but the way he says it doesn't seem to indicate it.

Let's face it. If you're making an fps in this day and age, the competition is fierce. You have to do what the crowd wants or you won't sell and you won't be played.

I think this is a brilliant move because they certainly have the graphics down. They've even promised proper voice acting.

Last thing to fix was the controls and here we go. Looks to be a serious contender for FPS of the year seeing as how Treyarch is behind COD this year.

Yeah I definitely agree. As much as I loved KZ2, I tried to play it the other day and man I really noticed how slow the movement was. Seriously, quicker controls will definitely enhance the games playability for those who hate it. I personally would like to see a middle ground met between heavy and fast sensation. KZ2 does have a heavy sensation and I did enjoy it at first, but now the feeling is kind of annoying, but GG...dont get rid of it totally.

Eh, not all that happy they took away the weight KZ2 became known for. It allowed really intense and realistic situations. I can understand making it a bit lighter and quicker but not to the extent of a CoD

Just my two cents:

I find it odd how many people think it is "noobs" that wanted the faster controls with more precision. Precision is not aim assist. Im talkin about dead zones.

If you guys like the controls, I hope they do have an option for it 'cause trust me you will be getting shot in the head by me and my precise shots...

Also, what is the point of using your iron sights? You shoot like a laser off the hip btw, not realistic.

The way I see it it is call of duty , minus the accuracy and the sensitivity capped at 4. And to my understanding all the CoD BEASTS play with 10 sensitivity. Of course if you cut out all the players 5 and above all your left with is "noobs".

I hope they leave your controls and oblige ours and we'll see who is the "noob".

I'm just saying people online in K2 usually hip fire and that it is too accurate. So accurate that there is almost no point in using your sights which is unrealistic.

Not sure we played the same game wage, last i check hip firing on KZ2 was anything but accurate.
People hip fire to avoid some of the recoil the rifles can cause, its not actually all that accurate but after playing it for a while you can pull off good kills with hip fire. I prefer the iron sights on most weapons but hip fire on the helghast rifle on multiplayer

Lets not pretend like hip firing isn't a good tactic on MW2, its pretty lethal on that game at close to mid range once you get use to it

I haven't played for a while since a few weeks after the precision patch. This was one of the reasons I stopped playing. The benefit of scoping is, imo, not worth the delay than hip spraying because of the high accuracy.

Not only that there was something that I cannot put my finger on that gave me motion sickness. The input lag didn't help.

I LOVE the visuals and it is the game I usually show Xbots to fend them off. However I'd be lying to myself if I felt personally multiplayer was flawless.

I apologize if I came off kinda like a douche at any point but just because the controls suit your personal styles doesn't mean those of us that see the potential but missed the enjoyment because of control preference should be overlooked. I think it would do wonders for the competitiveness. The maps were awesome and are large enough to maintain the balance.

PS
Being a twitch gamer shouldn't be an insult unless its outside of shooters to the detriment of a genre...RPG's

i bet if cod were to get the weight feeling in it, people wouldn't wine and need a tissue cause its cod. i think people are so up the cod arse with thinking that every fps needs to be like cod or it sucks. cod is good but its just another house hold name that gets abused like how madden is and release every year. kz2 wasn't perfect but sher was in the right direction a lil with the weight feeling in the guns.

You know, it's probably just because the only other FPSs I've played are Resistance and Bioshock, but I didn't even notice the difference in the weighted controls. To me, it seemed to really fit the world of the game, and it wasn't like it made it overly difficult, or god forbid, cheap. I actually thought it worked quite well, but I sincerely doubt I'll notice this new difference much. As for shooting from the hip vs. Iron Sights, I definitely preferred the iron sights. Standard shooting was all over the shop in KZ2. Which reminds me, I've still got to see if my Xbot is selling his original copy of Killzone... Then I play the two in succession in the weeks leading up to KZ3 and make my brain explode from shooter overload.

Peace.

oh great the one think i liked about KZ2 is now gone!?
excellent, this is turning out to be the resident evil 5 of 2011!

this is why i wish casual gamers would just crawl up and die!
its fine when they stick to their games, but every now and then they spread into new titles and destroy them too!
KZ2 had perfect controls, why the &^%$ are GG giving in to these idiots?

this is exactly like the cut scenes in assassins creed, casuals complained o boo hoo there too long.
so for AC2 they cut them down allot, and now we miss out on all the interesting dialogue.
they were there for a reason, they allowed the victim to explain why he did what he did, and try to explain its for the good of man kind.

another game a casualty to casual gamers!
like the industry going mainstream, turning it from a love fest to a cash cow was not bad enough!

honestly give it 3, maybe 5 years and this industry will be dead!
it will be full of nintendo, and casual games.

well, you have the greed on one hand than on the other you have developers changing their games to suit the masses.

splinter cell conviction changed from hardcore stealth game to action game, MGS the same, assassins creed lost its long cut scenes, KZ2 lost what made it unique, FFXIII was changed from a true traditional JRPG to a more action oriented RPG.

how is this a overreaction, when the games i like and enjoy playing are going out the window?
people just sat there and did nothing while turn based RPGs went the way of the dodo, how did that turn out?

Im really not looking forward to KZ3.

Im sorry, but the jetpacks seem like a total crapfest.
It seems they have conformed to the masses, and decided that achieving Call of Duty reputation, is more important than being unique.

I didnt like the heavy controls, but only in MP they seemed WAY over the top, and ALOT more than in the SP, but over time i got used to them and started pwning just as much as normal, so it wasnt a problem in the end.

Well, I didn't like the heaviness. I understood that it was part of the game, but given a choice I like to be able to feel nimble.....like a ninja...

For all COD is, KZ is it's own game, in it's own right regardless of the weighted controls. I liked the story (sans cursing), I loved the graphics, and gameplay. Some of the battles were truly epic.

Besides, didn't people complain that the controls were just laggy to give the appearance of weight? I can see where you could draw the correlation, however that wasn't my opinion.
