Killzone 3 News Around the Corner

Platform Nation writes: "Remember late last month when the net was set ablaze with rumors of Killzone 3 news to surface as early as February of this year? Well, that might not be so crazy after all.

New is starting to surface in licensed Magazines hinting that Guerilla Games´s sequel to Killzone 2 just might be slated for release in 2010. To milk it even more, Killzone3.com is being docked by none other than Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, and the docking site expires on the 8th of October, 2010.– seems so convenient for the site to launch at the the beginning of the holiday season, doesn't it? If this information rings true than you can count on hearing news on the subject very, very soon."

I bet this news makes Bungie, Infinity Ward and 2kgames sad in the pants... Shame they're talentless hacks with egos.

reaferfore205194d ago

I'm not a big fan of Halo or COD; but saying they're talentless hacks is a bit much.

Bungie5194d ago

where's KZ2 players ,can't find a match damn it :(

gtamike1235193d ago

Well you know why don't you?
Cause your mum did not get you a PS3 for Xmas only the game.

talltony5193d ago

Kz2 was the best fps of last year. And man if kz3 comes out this year I will be just oh so happy!

Trebius5193d ago

The dedicated servers are always full, there's always a game to play. :) Either 1) You're just too dumb to hit the join button, or 2) you dont have a ps3

Comet5193d ago

The only reason Killzone 3 is in development is because Micro$oft is "Reaching" for another Halo game...

I'm wishing Guerilla Games will come out with a new IP for the PlayStation 4. Preferably another first-person shooter with variety and nothing ever seen before that will blow Halo 6 and Modern Warfare 3 out of the water ;D

LordMarius5194d ago

I cant wait,
Just think of what they have added to their multiplayer mhmmm
co-op please

oh and vehicles

deadreckoning6665194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

kz3!

@Marius- Vehicles wuldnt make sense in kz2 multiplayer. Its about "contolled chaos".

Edit: Phyrrus Rise is the ONLY map big enough to warrant vehicles and even that map may be considered small by the standards of Bad Company 2. Trust me, GG will add co-op, but they won't put in any vehicles because it'll disrupt the flow of the game. Killzone 2 ISN'T Halo or Bad Company 2. The flow is WAYY different and vehicles would mess it up.

My personal wishlist:
Co-op
No Rico
Better partner AI
Better graphics
Gain points for kill assists

reaferfore205194d ago

Having vehicles would make perfect sense. A lot of the maps in KZ2 are huge and would welcome vehicles to get across the map faster.

himdeel5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

Was playing last night and getting a few trophies and was wondering when we'd hear about part 3. I REALLY REALLY hope Killzone 3 drops this year :)

Edit: I agree and after playing BFBC2 last night vehicles makes perfect sense. Besides maybe bookending the story, updated graphics, co-op to single player, and multiplayer co-op I cannot imagine any other revisions I'd like to see.

Darkeyes5193d ago

KZ3 with destructible environments.... Now that would be BFBC2 on steroids!!!!

Man just imagine if this releases this year lol... The complete Halo graphics hype train will derail. Catch KZ2 while we get KZ3 lol.

Strange_Evil5193d ago

KZ3 will be huge!!! I bought a PS3 just for the KZ2 and it was totally worth it. The thing will take place on Vekta think of the possibilities!!! Space fights, different pallet terrains (Finally!!!), better graphics!!!

GG has been known to take community feedback seriously and the first thing I would like them to fix is to get some decent dialog writers!!! Contact ND for more details GG and please explore the KZ universe more and bring a better story. Believe it or not, I was more interested in KZ universe than Halo universe cause the back story at KZ site is really great. Please GG make the story more better and love the Bots so keep them lol.

Jamegohanssj55193d ago

Release date Spring 2011. Then Resistance will be Fall 2011. Woot! Maybe by that time I'll be ready to play another FPS because we've been plagued with too many of them lately. We just need a change. A good switch. This year is looking to do that some what.

TGSI

BattleAxe5193d ago

Killzone 3 will be awesome! But as a few people above mentioned, vehicles and co-op would out Killzone 3 on a whole new level that very few games can achieve.

5193d ago
Digitaldude5193d ago

I m so excited for this, I know they will fix the controls, adding new stuff like co-op. This game will be epicly epic.

LesterCorncrake5193d ago

HOLY SH1T i need me some KZ3, i purchased it with my PS3 and i was instantly hooked.

The most solid feeling/best graphical game i had ever experienced, until UC2 just out did it in graphics department.

Imagine an online space battle mode, in some big a$$ fighter ship with ya pals lighting up the skies.

i'd pay good money for this game because you just know its going to be of the highest quality

5193d ago
ZombieNinjaPanda5193d ago

Vehicles won't work in Killzone 2. The maps have no room to maneuver. On Phyruss the vehicles would be able to go in a linear path of about 10 feet.

Solomon Market is closer, but still not good enough. To have vehicles, the maps would have to take a couple minutes to sprint across. In Killzone 2, the biggest map can be sprinted across in maybe 1 minute. Less with boost.

mal_tez925193d ago

-DO NOT change the gameplay
-Increase weapon strength
-Add co-op
-More guns
-More Multiplayer features and unlockables

kneon5193d ago

I hope they don't "fix" the controls, I like them the way they are, they aren't broken. But they will probably do something to attract more of the COD crowd. They should just add an "arcade" mode for those that want to play that sort of game and leave the normal mode as is for the rest of us.

As for vehicles, the maps would need to be much bigger than they are now. Even pyhrus rise isn't well suited to vehicles, it's big but it's too constained to make good use of vehicles.

Co-op, both local and online would be great.

And they should either tone down the assault class or allow you to place limits on how many of each class you can have on each team, specifically the assault and sniper classes.

young juice5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

oh god please, let me kill rico i cant stand his stupidity.

but yea this was a givin. since i felt like there was a cliffhanger in kz2

EDIT:@BulletToothtony

notice how i didnt say "NO RICO".

i said let me kill him. making him vanish is too easy, i wanna watch him die.

CaptainKratos5193d ago

omg omg omg!!!!lol. Lets hear that news BABY!!!!

BulletToothtony5193d ago

have no idea how important he was in Killzone1 and how good he made the game in K2..

please people b4 you hate, learn to know what a franchise it's all about..

Mike134nl5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Killzone 3 arc enabled, can't wait.

execution175193d ago

kill off rico and be taller, and pretty much everything else about the KZ2 was awesome MP and SP

ViciousBoston5193d ago

Killzone 3 needs to start with a cutscene of Rico getting killed. Grusomely I might add. Like, brains splatter against the screen style, but even with all the gore, Sev and the team go on without acknowledging it and Rico is never mentioned or flashed back into any part of the game.

kneon5193d ago

Ya Rico is an A-hole but he could play an important part in KZ3. One possible direction for the game is for Sev to realize that they are really the bad guys and he decides that they need to stop the war somehow. Rico is hard core anti-Helghast and is unlikely to be swayed. So that could set up some interesting situations that could even include YOU having to kill Rico!

fishd5193d ago

^^^
That's the way to do it!

Chubear5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

You can tell the nerds who jumped on KZ2 and never played KZ1.

They all hate Rico with venom, as if he reminds them of the bully that used to take their lunch money or something.

Everyone that played KZ1 know how important Rico is to the franchise and, more importantly, why he is the way he is. I hope GG don't do anything stupid to Rico just because of the band wagon jumpers that just came onto to KZ2 instead of keeping the story going properly especially for the millions who supported KZ1 despite the media BS reviews against it.

Isn't it funny though how people have a distinct hate for Rico's Xter but in the same breath will say KZ2 didn't have a good story or voice acting. For you to feel so passionate about a VG Xter, they must have done something incredible right indeed.

Rico's a badass - period! just deal with your issues about him and stfu lol

duplissi5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

@execution17

your not actually short in killzone 2, its just realistic.
in the military when in combat you are trained to have as small a profile as you can (makes you harder to hit), when walking and holding your weapon you are always slightly crouching its kind of like the duck walk.

nveenio5193d ago

No doubt. This would easily make my "must have" list. KZ2 was awesome for a FPS.

5193d ago
DatNJDom815193d ago

no Rico no Killzone......... he represents an important part of the story, the ISA hate towards the Helghast. Besides who else is going to be the bullet sponge at the last boss fight in Killzone 3???

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. Look at section 2 comments! LOL. Troll-a-squad came hard to the Killzone spot. Wonder why......... LOL

jaysquared5193d ago

You would think with all the the hype with KZ2 and the money they spent and many sony fanboys proclaiming it was going to be the "halo killer" Sony wouldn't make the mistake of releasing another mediocre shooter... Oh well can't wait to hear the sony fanboys on this site hyping KZ3 up like the second coming of christ..

JBaby3435193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Killzone 2 is anything but mediocre. If you played it and weren't such a tool you would know that. Care to try your trolling again?

Can't wait to find out mor info on Killzone 3. Please GG don't change the controls because of noobs who don't understand human movement and think soldiers glide on skates. Co-op is a must though.

Consoldtobots5193d ago

I can't believe there are developers who still miss the boat on online co-op. As far as Im concerned it IS the new multiplayer sensation.

Running and gunning mindlessly is so last gen.

SaberEdge5193d ago

If this is true it will just be another game I will be getting for my PS3 this year. I hope so. I still think Killzone 2 is one of the better shooters around. Definitely the best looking one, that's for sure. I also loved the multi-player.

zeeshan5193d ago

Killzone 2 was EPIC! I hope they don't release in 2010 and if they do, I hope it's like a November or December release. KZ3 can wait but whenever they decide to release it, it's a day one buy for me. I simply LOVE Killzone!

MazzingerZ5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

To all people (should I say kids?) wanting to kill RICO, please play Killzone 1...and please don't post that in Guerrilla Forums because that would only make GG sad...including Colonel Templar

If Rico hadn't done what he did by the end of K2 I would had been really dissappointed...many of the people that have only played K2 didn't really get it, Rico never had any other plans in mind than to do that he did as soon as he learned what had happened.

My wish list would only include the following:

Colonel Hakha! I have the feeling he will be key in K3, some nice twists are always welcome ;)

sikbeta5193d ago

That's a GAME I WILL ENJOY YEAH!!!

Ravage275193d ago

my wishlist,

5 things to add:
-more classes,guns and abilities
-vehicles in SOME maps(e.g.reward for securing an optional objective)
-if there's coop, i really hope splitscreen is enabled
-improve AI of allies (Helghast's AI was great though)

5 things to keep:
-Control, do NOT change the 'heavy' feel
-Graphic quality
-My favourite MP maps BeachHead,Arctower Landing and Pyrrhus Rise
-Objective rotation during MP
-Rico, lol :p

UnwanteDreamz5193d ago

I agree, good list.

Co-op
No Rico
Better partner AI
Better graphics
Gain points for kill assists

raztad5193d ago

As a huge KZ2 fan I would love to see it ASAP, but lets not fool ourselves guys. Sony is just releasing MAG (multiplayer only) and they want it to have as much attention as it can, on top of that I'm almost certain this fall will be for R3 to shine.

KZ2 is too big and important for Sony to be rushing the game just for the sake of it. KZ2 is likely a 2011 release. That said I'd like to see some coop and mecha combat. Maps just need to be fine tuned for them.

jjohan355192d ago

If they keep the weighty controls (which doesn't bother me), they need to have less chokepoints/tight corners. If they keep chokepoints/tight corners, then they need to make the controls less weighty. That was my only issue with Killzone 2, but it wasn't game-breaking. The dynamic multiplayer was quite fun actually.

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

1Victor353d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar353d ago

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

jznrpg352d ago

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

badz149352d 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!

Vengeance1138353d 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 Kim353d ago

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

VersusDMC353d 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?

Vengeance1138353d ago

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

solideagle353d 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.

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.

blacktiger352d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca353d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal352d ago

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

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

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

MadLad1104d 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.

Applejack1104d 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_B1104d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1103d 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.

1103d ago
Vegamyster1103d 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.

SinkingSage1103d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1103d ago (Edited 1103d 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.

MadLad1103d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1103d 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

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.

Knightofelemia1281d ago

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_vulgaris1281d 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.
