Selling out.

hell yea.

Were you among those who criticized Killzone 2 for having controls that felt heavy and clunky?


NO.

I Loved the Killzone 2 controls it was a massive relief from the ever popular "twitchy-auto-aim-heavy-watered-down-make-it-easy-for-the-retards" controls of games like motherfucking Call of Duty and shit like that.


This is a REAL shame. At least in the last one it had the options to switch between fuckwit-twitch-controls and solid, realistic controls.


PLEASE GUERRILLA PUT THE OPTION IN AGAIN!

it sucks they are pandering to the fps noobs, but i guess thats how you make the big bucks

I rather liked the "heavy and clunky" feel of the Killzone 2controls; it was the controller layout itself that I had issues with. (I didn't like having to hold a button to stay into cover and hold another button at the same time to aim down the sites.)

Having a "lock into cover" button would have fixed everything for me... this is a shame.

Tbh i didnt particularly like the way the game handled, but it wasn't bad it just took me awhile to get used to. I am glad that they are changing it though. I think part of my problem was also that KZ2 is the only fps game i own for my ps3. I tend to play most fps games on 360 and i think the analogue sticks kinda felt screwy to me. Anyways, can't wait.

@mrandydixon

I know there's a "crouch lock", isn't it the same button for cover?

The Killzone 2 controls felt fine to me too. Similarly good to Resistance 2. >_>
I don't know... if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

Booo!!! More damn floaty controls... I have plenty of options if I wanted that type of feel. It's bad enough that people are pissed at the idea that they might have to get off the couch to play a game, they don't even like to SIMULATE that what their doing onscreen is actually physically demanding.

Sorry. I'm in a griping kind of mood... I still love ya Guerilla.

Once I got used to KZ2's controls, they were fine... though I guess this time there will be less of a change when switching to the new game from other shooter games out there!

I'm going to go ahead and say no, I didn't like it. The Doom guy didn't move like his balls were bricks, neither should my Helghast guy.

The weight and feel of Killzone 2 is one of the best things about the game. The complainers weren't people who were going to buy it anyway. Definitely killing my interest in Killzone 3 with this sort of announcement.

People don't actually WANT different. They want comfortable. They want FFVII and CoD over and over and over again, just with different settings. Then they complain that it's a ripoff. But you can't blame Guerrilla, this is a business, after all.

@President:

It wasn't the look speed that bothered me, it was the acceleration. The amount of time you had to lay on the stick in a given direction to start rotating was WAY too long even with sensitivity maxed.

Anyway, they should just throw in a "Classic" mode for the people that liked the KZ2 style. My tolerance for cumbersome controls is non-existent regardless of genre.

*glares are Resident Evil franchise*

After getting used to them, I thought the control scheme in KZ2 was just fine. It's disappointing to see them changed. But Guerrilla wants to sell to the masses so they have to make their game conform to what the masses expect. Hard to blame them.

@hardock spiffy: I doubt you ever played KZ2. Go ahead and lie and say you did

@Gestault

I liked the controls right out of the box. You had to work at them, but it slowed down multiplayer a lot...which was good.

@hardock spiffy

for how long?

Knew this would happen, do not want.

Meh.

I'm glad they're doing this. Multiplayer was unplayable for me because of this. It just wasn't fun. I don't really like COD either because of how twitchy it is. Hopefully they can find a good middle ground.

If they standardize the control scheme and increase the FOV (KZ2 FOV was way to narrow) I will give a look. I will definitely rent it first before I buy it. I made that mistake with KZ2.

yikes, if anyone hasn't seen this "brutal kill" montage, it's a doozy!

i thought the controlls were fine, the thin i had a problem with was the stupidly narrow field of view.

I don't know why everyone is attributing responsive controls to CoD. Responsive controls have been around since fucking Wolfenstein 3D, and I have to say id got it right the first time.

KZ 2 was great. I still play online a lot. But a lot also needs to be changed.

1st: I had fun with the controls. If the new controls make the game more fun to play than it already is, i'm cool with it. 2nd: the kill lag needs a desperate fix. too many times have i watched me and my opponent drop dead from headshots that happen simultaneously. 3rd: balance the wack ass rocket launcher/grenadier class. its an absolute pain to play with those explosive weapons enabled and it sucks to have a class that is never used. 4th: create some kind of roaming team spawn points. the tactician is great when you have a good one on your team but if you don't, spawn killing is inevitable. 5th: there needs to be something done with the "assassination" mode which is always totally impossible to defend against. Whenever that game comes up its a sure fire win for the attacking team.
