Killzone 3 Speculation: "The Internet Is Bored"

Rumours surfaced late last week regarding Killzone 3 regarding news coming next month, however TheSixthAxis has been told otherwise.

Yeah The Internet is bored, obviously Guerrilla Games won't try to compete with Halo; at this point there is no real reason to compete with it, why rush or possibly rush a game just to compete with a more established gaming franchise? Really? Really? Come on internet. And once again I'm first this is weird, kinda scary too.

Sev5194d ago

I'm convinced we'll see a trailer for Killzone 3 this year, but that's it.

I like this article a lot because I agree wholeheartedly.

I have a feeling that "poster" on the PSU forums was a certain someone trying to stir the pot.

gaffyh5194d ago

@sev - Yeah I expect a KZ3 trailer at E3, but release date will probably be February 2011.

Nicaragua5194d ago

It dosnt compete with Halo, they are on different machines.

They only compete in fanboys imaginations pew pew

otherZinc5194d ago

You & the CEO that would pit Killzone 3 against Halo:Reach on purpose would be fired immediately!

You must be absolutely joking. Killzone 2 couldn't beat a Halo:RTS game. What makes you think that would be a great business move to challenge Halo:Reach, a perennial FPS Money Making Destroyer?

I ask this of Guerilla Games: make Killzone 3 co-op through the campaign with those same graphics & I'll be impressed.

bjornbear5194d ago

i couldn't imagine KZ3 coming out this year, it would be too soon =/

KZ2 still looks good and it will be able to keep me satisfied very well into 2011 =D

still KZ3 trailer this year would be fantastic =D

colonel1795194d ago

Why would guerilla (or Sony) want to release Killzone 3 this year? The last one came out just last year, is not like it is L4D. Come on, is common sense. Every Sony franchise has had at least two year interval, why would they pull a "valve" and release it less than 12 months later.

The same goes for Infamous 2, we all know it's coming, but definitely not this year.

dbieon125194d ago

The last game was completed and ready for distribution late 2008 (November/December) but the release was delayed until February to help other games during the Holiday season.

I'm positive after no more than a month break, Guerrilla Games was busy working on their next project.

That means that no matter the franchise, the game should be ready for release late this year November/December 2010. Perfect timing for the game to become public.

SuperM5194d ago

Ehh, killzone 2 was released 11 months ago. If KZ3 comes out this november then thats almost 20 months since KZ2. Not saying its gonna happen, but its certainly not "doing a valve"

bnaked5194d ago

Uncharted 2 needed 18 month! Maybe Guerilla can do it in the same time, so we can indeed expect Killzone 3 this winter..

Chubear5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

I see a lot of comments like yours and I can't but feel if you guys are being disingenuous or really can't do simple counting math too good.

If KZ3 came out in Nov. 10 that would be almost 2 (TWO) years from KZ3 not one year. That's roughly 21months.

There is no reason Sony can't give their FPS fans both R3 in sep and KZ3 in nov and to the not so bright fellow saying Sony doesn't want KZ to compete with halo; it seems you have no clue that KZ2 is not on the 360 and thus will not directly be competing with each other but rather indirectly competing across the different platforms... unless you foolishly think you'll have KZ3 and R3 fans going out to get a 360 to play halo Reach.

None of these games are multiplatform so they can be released how ever Sony wants in regards to other exclusives on other consoles.

beavis4play5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

the games are exclusive to different consoles. halo:reach and KZ3 could launch on same day......fans of each will buy what they want. same for people buying consoles. they'll buy the system that has the games which appeals to them.

N4BmpS5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

Okay I guess people misunderstood me(understandable I am a pretty clever dude)I'll put it this way I played Killzone 2 it's my favorite shooter. Why would Guerrilla Games rush their masterpiece just to compete with Halo: Reach?(an established franchise)I don't care creating a game as good as Killzone 2 and making it better for Kz3 it's gonna need more time than a year. The Internet is bored this is a complete fabrication by fanboys and hopefuls who want Kz3 to compete with Halo. I think people got lost when I said "Halo is a more established franchise" they probably thought I was a fanboy of the 360 or something, I'm not(all I have is a PS3): and yeah I know that they'll be on different consoles but the time to produce Kz2 hasn't had time to even reload their assault rifles for a Kz3. It's simply too soon. Oh and btw the name is N4BmpS

The poster, claiming to be a game reviewer for “a lot of sites/blogs”...yeah that just oozes credibility.

Sangria5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

I am a game reviewer for a lot of site and I can tell you Quantic Dream are already working on their next title, highly likely to be a PS3 and Xbox 360 game and will contain online components (and I have proofs).

Roper3165194d ago

so where is the proofs?????

Brodiesan5194d ago

The fact that there are two typos/grammatical mistakes in your comment, I'm pretty sure I do not read the site you write for.

Thankfully.

Sangria5194d ago

I will only give those proofs to someone trustable.
@Brodie: The fact that you are natively english-speaker directly eliminates this possibility.
Maybe Sev would be interested, I don't know.

Roper3165194d ago

sorry without proof you are lying as far as I am concerned.

Sangria5194d ago

Sure, just like I was lying when I predicted Heavy Rain release date months before it was announced.
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...
Anyway, what I said in my first comment is true, and it's just a matter of investigation but nothing related to insiders. I was just being sarcastic at people's credibility when it comes to "sources".

My "sources" for my first comment is a job listing from Quantic Dream in which I'm subscribed where they hire people having Xbox 360 and PS3 experience in development and network programmers and managers. It's a matter of interpretation and investigation, and I'm pretty sure many so-called insiders like Super_Secret (the one from N4G that unveiled the content of 3.00 PS3 firmware update) are just people that investigate where other people don't.

Dev8 ing5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

Lots of first party developers look for people with xbox or ps3 skills. It doesn't mean they are looking to port the game it's just that it doesn't matter what platform you have worked on your skills are transferable. Programming skills are programming skills. You can always learn new ways of doing things but becoming a good programmer takes a lot of experience.

Also I think we'll see QD's game on PC before the 360 since all their other games are on PC except HR.

I can tell you that their next title is Omikron 2. I can also tell you that they will be using the same engine from heavy rain. You haven't said anything worthwhile.

Sangria5193d ago

Next time I'd rather shut up when it comes to highlight hypocrisy, obviously N4G takes everything way too seriously to detect sarcasm u__u

Rowsdower5194d ago

but where is the support, the game came out less than a year ago, and the last bit of dlc came out in july 2009. they should still be supporting killzone 2 and I hope they do.

dalibor5194d ago

Don't forget that support for the controls was added also, support comes in different forms just not dlc. Like what else can they do? They already done map packs. I guess more weapons but paying for weapons is kind of crazy.

BeaArthur5194d ago

Yeah, they have had plenty of map packs, what else would you want? At some point all developers have to put the past game in the rear view and start working towards the next installment.

SuperM5194d ago

the more they work on DLC the longer you have to wait for the next game. i prefer new game over dlc

dalibor5194d ago

Killzone 2 was a blast for me. It would be to soon to release another Killzone game on the PS3, it hasn't even been a year yet since Killzone 2 released. We got MAG for this year & perhaps Resistance 3. For the next K3 there should be more weapons, classes & who knows maybe even vehicles/mechs online for a different game mode style. There might be co-op offline/online this time around my cranium is suggesting & pondering.

TooTall195194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

No vehicles in mp! like you said only in a completely separate mode

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

1Victor345d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar345d ago

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

jznrpg345d ago

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

badz149344d 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!

Vengeance1138345d 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 Kim345d ago

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

VersusDMC345d 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?

Vengeance1138345d ago

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

solideagle345d 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.

Phoenix76345d 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

thesoftware730345d ago (Edited 345d 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.

blacktiger345d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca345d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal345d ago

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

Imalwaysright345d ago

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

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

bouzebbal1096d ago

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

MadLad1096d 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.

Applejack1096d 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_B1096d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1096d 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.

1096d ago
Vegamyster1096d 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.

SinkingSage1096d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1096d ago (Edited 1096d 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.

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

MadLad1095d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1096d 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.

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_vulgaris1274d 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.
