Also like I said, I really don't like CoD on PS3 because you shoot with the R1, and not the trigger button. It defeats the purpose of a trigger button to me, and throwing a grenade just feels right when you can hear your controller click.


I've never actually read, heard, or seen somebody say that they would actually like using those trigger buttons on the ps3 controller for shooting, i always loved the controller but those triggers are fucking garbage for shooting. I don't understand why sony changed that button but oh well.

Really, never? All my friends who currently own, or have owned a 360 in the past, and now own a PS3, say that they miss the trigger button, and complain how CoD and Uncharted only use the bumpers. Feels weird to me too.

The trigger button on PS3 is not as easy to hold as the 360 trigger button, but I think it would still be better then the tiny R1 bumper. They should have added a curve to keep your finger from slipping off of it. Hope the PS4 controller see's some significant changes.

Killzone 2 - 6 week sales = 1.37

Killzone 3 - 6 week sales = 1.28

 

Huge difference!!!

I think its because PS3 owners are in denial that the PS3 actually has games.



Tease.

Guys it's something called Personal choice!! My hands never slip off the R1 button anyways. While using the 360 controller feels weird to me. For games like Gears and Halo I really hate the contols because it takes me so long to get used to. But I get used to the PS3 controller in a couple seconds. I personaly think the R2 button is better racing and shooting. A lot of people agree with me. But at the end of the day it matters what controller suits you.

It's selling okay,not every game has to sell COD and Halo number's. I bought the game and love the multiplayer. It made it past a million copies sold,I'm happy with that.

Killzone 3 is only that good if you like the series, not everyone does as shocking as that may seem. Killzone 2 had a lot of criticism, some of that may also have rubbed off on Killzone 3.

 

Its only an FPS, the market is saturated with FPS games, great graphics and gameplay won't sell a game if people prefer crappy COD games from the same genre.

We both already establish that it's a matter of personal choice. You probably prefer the PS3 controller because you play more PS then 360.

I don't like the PS3 controller because the Analog stick feels very loose for me, and said complaints about the trigger, being small, uncurved, not having a click when fully pressed, and not pressing in in a natural way like the 360 trigger.

Also for racing, pssh, controller. Steering wheel is where it's at, but from my short experience with controller based steering, I still prefer the 360 trigger button. It's just a better button overall, and talk to anybody who actually owns both a PS3 and a 360, and plays both, they will likely agree.

Killzone 3 is "not selling well" because the PS3 is not the "shooter box."


The best selling games on PS3 are shooters, there are just as many shooters on PS3 or even more. It's just as much a "shooter box", just doesn't do it as well.

 

The game is selling fine. People need to stop looking at COD and Halo, and start comparing it with other shooters. It's doing just fine for what it is.

Killzone brand is not as strong as Halo.


LOL!! You think? It's not even close. Neither is Resistance. franchise. Gears is even a stronger franchise. KZ gets a lot of hype, but PS3 fans aren't into FPS as much as XBox 360 gamers.

Well your maybe right. But I have cousins in Europe and they own both consoles and they agree with me. I have visted Europe many times (espeically Geramny and France and most people I know there prefer PS3 controller) But where I live in Canada and most people agree with you.
