Killzone 3: Behind the Scenes at Gamescom

Now in its second year, the Gamescom in Germany is quickly becoming the largest games event in the world. Over 250,000 people descended on Cologne last week, eager to sample the enormous amount of games and technologies on offer. Naturally, we were there to showcase Killzone 3's multiplayer mode.

i dnt see the new video when i click the link.

Edit ok thanks Found it. The game is coming along beautifully. Cant wait to see how it looks when they put in the kz3 charachter models because these are still kz2 models. Regardless still looks great.

Just noticed something when You get killed and then get revived you dnt have to stand up right away which is a great new feature. Cant tell you how many times i have gotten revived and then killed instantly. Now it will feel like I am more in control.

(When at the source) Go to news, then scroll down and you will see the video. (copy and pasted from the description)

I don't mean to sound negative, but anyone else worried about things like instant-melee and things like that?

I can see they are trying to make it more mainstream, and I actually really hated the melee in K2 (it was impossible, especially for that stupid badge).

I am actually quite excited for K3 and think it will trump K2, but I hear a lot of fans voice their concerns with how different it appears.

Just trying to get a friendly discussion starting, so don't get too upset if I sound like I am criticizing the video (I actually haven't seen it yet as I'm at work, but from what I hear melee is insta-kill now)

avengers19784977d ago

@alpha-male22 I got my melee badge no problem, hell I got all the badges. Things like more accessible games are terrible, the very words make me cringe.

vickers5004977d ago

I share your concern. Especially after playing the Alien Vs Predator demo. They need to make it so where you can do it after like only one or two kills, just so untalented noobs cant go sprinting around rapidly pressing the execution button.

stevenhiggster4977d ago (Edited 4977d ago )

Well most shooters nowadays the melee is insta kill, BC2, COD, MOH most of them you just press the knife button, one stab and the mofo is dead, so I don't see how KZ3 doing it is a bad thing? As you said before, the melee in KZ2 wasn't great anyway.

I am a big KZ2 fanboy I think it's fine the way it is. But what I don't understand is people moaning about them making it more accessible, whats the problem with more people enjoying it? And as for making it more noob friendly? All that does is make it easier for me too so I can pwn even more, so everyones a winner (except the pwnd people). Why complain, what you scared the big bad COD fanbabies are gonna come and take your precious KZ away? Newsflash: COD fanboys only play COD!

ChineseDemocracy4977d ago

SO happy they kept the little *blip* in after you snag a kill. I find it incredibly satisfying for some reason.

Rumor4977d ago

hate to see spawn times..oh well KZ3D is gonna be EEEEEEPIC!!!!! *high pich fratsy voice*

to all the graphics nuts out there...
ITS PRE-ALPHA CODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

SaberEdge4977d ago

That's true, but that doesn't stop people from judging Crysis 2's graphics. What's more, Killzone 3 comes out in February, while Crysis 2 comes out in March.

NeloAnjelo4977d ago

Screw graphic nuts... this game looks amazing even if there are no improvements on the KZ2's graphics.

Jaces4977d ago

invisi neck break FTW.

lol, I cannot wait to get back into Killzone online. I had a blast with KZ2.

BannedForNineYears4977d ago

OMG!
Anyone catch the "[] to stand up" thing when you get revived?! That's gotta be one of the most needed features in Killzone.
I remember getting revived when I didn't want to in Killzone 2. xD

OneSneakyMofo4977d ago

In the corner, the person is wearing a "GEL" med pack which means there are new skills for classes - ASWESOME!

TooTall194977d ago (Edited 4977d ago )

He can get a smaller air bot that follows him. Edit: The medic can even revive himself once the area is safe. I'm pretty sure the medic in the video had it as one of his specials.

NeloAnjelo4977d ago

Yes you are right in your assumptions. Each class has 6 different levels of unlocks that is specifically for that class.

Nothing has been mentioned about combining classes and the workings around that in KZ3.

All classes unlocked from the beginning... Sniper class all the way for me. then I'll look at other classes...

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor342d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar342d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg342d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149342d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138342d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim342d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC342d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138342d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle342d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76342d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger342d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca342d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal342d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright342d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1093d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1093d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1093d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1093d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1093d ago
Vegamyster1093d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1093d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1093d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1092d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1093d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1093d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1093d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1271d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
