MAG did this as well, but maybe not to the extent that Killzone is attempting. I'm curious to see how this does.

It's smart, though I do wonder why it hasn't been done before; you'd think Activision would be all over this.
yeah I can get behind this type of thing. but then again you can buy the whole shebang for about 20 bucks now. A good idea but what happens if I want to buy the single player later?
TROLOLOLOL Such a great idea!
Was I the only one that loved Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory back in the day? Hardly a new concept but nice one Sony all the same, like.

That's why I bring up the EA model. with FNC it's the same price regardless if you buy it all or pieces at a time. I would love to this happen to New releases.

@randombullseye but MAG sucks... :) I seriously bought that game for $60 and sold it the next day for $25. That's how disgusted I was with it. lol
The business model should be $40 for all new games. $20 to be paid online if you want to access online play.
And for 5 extra dollars they can get the full experience. Either way this means my bro & I can play this online. Yaaay.
The Gotham City Impostors guys have got to be shitting their pants.
What an excellent way to squeeze some more money out a game whose time would normally have passed. No sarcasm there, good on ya Sony! Wouldn't it be great if they made more on this than what they made on Killzone 3 at retail? Not cause I'm a Sony fanboy, but because that might get a lot of other companies to try this model.

I can't speak for how MAG played at launch, but I bought it for $15 about a year after launch and it was pretty fun. Well worth the price now IMO if anyone's curious about it.

That is a fucking AWESOME idea, more games should follow suit!
It's like I should almost buy this to help support the idea but I will never ever touch it as I played it enough when it came out. Still, love the idea!!

i know i'm in the vast minority here, as in I may be the only person who thinks this, but Killzone 3 had the best multiplayer of 2011 in my opinion. i spent more time, and had more fun with this game than any other shooter last year.
still never beat the campaign though …

AWESOME! I've been suggesting this for awhile and have mentioned it several times on the Playstation blog. I often have no interest in the campaign portion of online games and would prefer just to be able to purchase the online only portion.
Wait... Does that mean that Sony have figured out a solution to not having to pay full price on a game if you just want multiplayer?
I wish Battlefield 3 on PC was like that. Since an update I couldn't carry on the single player. I don't miss it in the slightest.

Holy crap... that's awesome. I rented Killzone3 and loved the single but didn't spend much time on the multi before sending it back. I will definitely be trying this out.
This almost makes me want to get it all over again, but with my old ps3 crappin out, I'd have to re-unlock everythin.... but then everyone else is saying it's only $20 for the full game? The SP is DEFF worth the extra $5, IMO..
But either way, it's got me itchin for some KZ again.

I wonder: if I've already ranked up in the retail release above whatever cap they're placing on the free version, will I retain said rank if I download this and trade in my retail copy? And will the paid DLC map packs be given out to players who already purchased the retail release, or do you have to download this one in order to get them?
I absolutely hate Killzone, but this is a brilliant move on their part and I wish more developers would use F2P setups to broaden their audiences, get more customer loyalty and make good money while they're at it.
So, while other companies are withholding MP from used customers, Sony is giving it away to everyone for free?
I'm down with that.
I'm down with that.
Love to see more of this in the future. Would work amazingly well with a lot of titles that have the extra MP feature added on (Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, etc) that gets added to each release w/o much overall change. I bet you'd have a lot more people buying and playing it, and more dlc sales as well. Maybe do this instead of the damn Online Pass while we're at it... one can dream, right?
Nice. The game does play very smooth and is one of the best shooters out there. But maybe Sony should offer this a lot earlier in the future. It would be nice if Sony could offer both sides to games at this price. Single player story for 15 and then 15 for multiplayer, that would be a sweet deal and actually worth the money. Hope they do the same for Uncharted 3.
Seems to me like a really good idea. Although as a few people have mentioned you can get the whole game for less than the asking price of the if you like it upgrade price Sony are asking here. I think this is a clever move but I have a large amount of ire for being offered things that in times gone by would be a standard part of a game. To understand how petty and bitter I am then you must realise I am the sort of man that get genuinely pissed off when a DVD lists a extra that it a animated menu. Yeah, that's me.
Where's Sofik?...well, since I only played the SP, I'll give it a try and if I find it great, I'll pay, but there's no way you can see this as a bad idea. Great move Sony, great move :D
I don't know about brilliant, or clever. Seems obvious enough that it should have walked up and smacked devs/pubs in the face 4-5 years ago. Perhaps I'm not too excited because I proposed the general idea after you regarded Kane and Lynch 2 multiplayer more highly than the singleplayer. Not that it's a hugely original concept.
But good things, yeah? Greater consumer choice, I can see how it appeals to you Jim.

I'll tell you what, my black shitbox has been sitting on a shelf after Shadow of the Colossus waiting for The Last Guardian to drop, and I will definitely boot up the PS3 to participate! Great idea!
BTW, I've been playing this mobile game called "Hero Academy," and it's completely awesome! The game is free, but you have to pay for additional teams/races, and it absolutely got me hooked on purchasing. Kudos to Killzone and Hero Academy!

I know it's a bit late now, but I just thought I'd post an update on how this actually works now that I've tried it myself.
This is literally just a multiplayer demo. nothing more, nothing less. You can play until level 10 and then the game kicks you out and you can't play any further until you pay the man. Just like every other demo for every other game.
To reiterate: "Player progress" doesn't just cease at level 10, GAMEPLAY does. Just thought I'd clarify for those of you with tight pants...
