Killzone 3 is in development

PS3Hype writes: 'A few day's ago there was an small gaming event in Amsterdam where people from the Dutch developer studio's where talking about gaming. On this event one of the developers from Guerrilla Games (Killzone 2), said something about Killzone 3.'

UPDATE: I'm trying to get a video with subtitles online!

[Stryfeno2]

Umm, why?

[MGOelite]

funny i said the same about halo 3 and gow2

[dustgavin]

Patchstation is asking why there has to be so many amazing PS3 titles being released. Either that or he his asking why he wasted his money on a 360.

[LarVanian]

Because Sony likes getting great 1st party games out for PS3 owners. Unlike MicroSoft who like getting timed 3rd party exclusives out for 360 owners.

[-x.Red.x-]

what!? another AAA exclusive?

oh noes

WHY DID I BUY An XBAWK

yes why indeed..

[Stryfeno2]

Yes, look at all those disagree I get by just asking a simple question. LOL. Plus, no-one answered it.

[The gaming GOD]

Nobody (except LarVanian, and I don't even know why he bothered lol) answered it because it was a stupid question. Why does ANY company continue to make games. And in case you want to try to pull the sales and profit card, KZ2 is well over a million seller and has made profit.

Plus given the fact that you're a WELL KNOWN troll in PS3 and/or Sony news you're prone to disagrees

And if you actually paid attention, you'd notice LarVanian did answer you stupid question

[Stryfeno2]

And yes I do own the game for those who is PMing me. He did not answer my question.

[Man_of_the_year]

Well i may not agree with patchstations name....i ask myself the same question "why". KZ2 is SOny's first party flagship. yet it has sold only around 2 million units. There are currently around 23 million PS3's out there. 2 million for a flagship title is not good. Say it as you may, but it is not a great return on profit when considering the game took 5 years to develope (creation of engine is included in the 5 years). Now with the engine already completed, it won't take as long to develope another kZ usining the engine. In this case the cost for Development will be reduced, however, with only around 2 million KZ2's sold....there isn't as much of a fanbase for the franchise for when KZ3 comes out.

Disagree as much as you want but that is a valid point.

[Consoldtobots]

ok I'll bite

because only in the mind of xbots is this game a "failure" in any way shape or form. I remember you turd-jockeys were even predicting the end of the franchise because it didn't sell 10 million copies in its first week. fanboys........can't live with em, can't stop their moms from putting their pic on the back of a milk carton.

[KZ2ninepointFLOP]

Why o' Why they making another one of me? I flop hard and my sequel is just another disaster.

[You bought an Xbox]

Some of the Numptys above Bought an Xbox !!!
Ha Ha !!!
Looooosers !!!

[rucky]

Just goes to show how dumb you xbots are when you mock Sony sales huh

[talltony]

Since the engine is up and running and the development time is slashed in half. Maybe they can spend more money on the actual advertisments now?

[The gaming GOD]

Where are you getting this "KZ2 took five years" nonsense? Killzone 2 was developed in 3 1/2 years. Not five.

Killzone 1 isn't even a FULL five years old considering KZ1 wasn't completed until November 2004. So I'd love to see the facts on this "KZ2 took 5 or more years" that you all keep trying to spout

[-MD-]

Didn't they lose their ass on Killzone 2? Why bother making a 3rd?

Wasn't it 60 million to make and they sold less than 2 million copies?

[rucky]

Like I said, dumb

[karan8624]

Easy question. Its because Killzone 2 was a great game and a huge success. Everybody wants a sequel, so Sony listened to their fans and now... Killzone 3

Its a straightforward answer, I dont know why anybody above me didnt say it.

[Man_of_the_year]

I agree. Like i said since the engine is already developed then ya they will save money on the Dev time and ya we will see if Sony will actually advertise KZ3...however i saw more advisertisments for KZ2 then i saw for Halo Wars, actually i didn't see a single Halo Wars commercial.

@The gaming GOD - the game itself took around 3 years to make, the ENGINE to MAKE the game took an additional 2. Thats 5 years to create KZ2...like i had previously stated. And as stated before, now that the engine is already completed, the dev time will be quicker and thus less expensive. The cost of Developing KZ2 was $60 million.

[The gaming GOD]

Creating the game itself and an engine are two different things. You can't tally the game engine cost into that because the engine isn't for KZ2 ALONE. If it was for JUST KZ2 then you'd have an argument. And again, how do you figure it took an additional 2 years to make the engine? As I said before KZ1 isn't even 5 years old. Which means at best the engine was made during the creation of KZ2.

Unless of course, you have some sort of link to say that KZ2's engine was made even before the release of KZ1 to disprove that.

Besides, you even just said it yourself, "The game itself too 3 years." An engine is an engine. A game is a game.

[da720izcumin]

he's still waiting.

[The gaming GOD]

He was answered TWICE ALREADY.

Look at replies 1.17 and 1.3.

I think some of you are just looking for a fanboy like answer so you can rant about it. Just because it's not the answer you want doesn't mean it's not an answer

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Answer:

Killzone 2 got incredible reviews, incredible sales, incredible feedback from the customers, and continues to be one of the top selling-points for the PS3.

It has converted many COD4 loyalists also. It's amazing!

The campaign could have been longer, but for what it was, it pulled it off pretty well.

[Man_of_the_year]

"Killzone 2 got incredible reviews" - I agree

"incredible sales" - I disagree. 5 years and 60 million dollars later, 2 million sold copies is not acceptable for a game of this stature.

"incredible feedback from the customers" - only AFTER the patch for the aiming. And most of the "feedback" was from fanboys.

"and continues to be one of the top selling-points for the PS3" - I disagree as look at the sales of the game, it is CLEARLY not one of the top selling-points for the PS3.

"The campaign could have been longer, but for what it was, it pulled it off pretty well" - I disagree. The game was perfect for Co-op which it did not have, no attachment to the main character, and the dialoge was terrible.

KZ2 is a great game there is no doubt about it, however the points that you have mentioned I think are the wrong points to have used to sell the idea of this game. You have taken most of the negative points and put a Fanboy spin on them to make them sound positive to the unaware gamer looking for a game.

[Jamie Foxx]

can you imagine the graphical leap, i didnt think uncharted could be bettered but look at uncharted 2

[shocky16]

I'm sure Killzone 3 will looks fantastic. :)

[Syronicus]

There are haters in the midst of us. People who call themselves gamers but are simply fanboys. Sheep in wolves clothing that is. Cowards that won't rebuttal with words but simply hit disagree when somebody simply states fact. As if Killzone 3 would not look any better than the second one. It is history that games get better in terms of graphics, not worse.

I can't wait to see what they do with KZ3, it will look amazing.

[D4RkNIKON]

Killzone 2 was a first generation build for the PS3, meaning that this was the very first PS3 game that Guerilla games has ever made. I can only imagine what they could do, using the KZ2 engine to do another PS3 game. Now that they know more about what they are doing, this is epic news! it won't take them 5 years to produce this time either!!

[Darkeyes]

Well judging the way KZ2 ended, a sequel was bound to happen. Boy, just imagine now people are saying that UC2 looks breathtaking and blows competition... Same things were said about KZ2 a few months back. Guess KZ3 will be even better looking than UC2 whoo hoo...

The one feature I want in KZ3 is playing as a Helghast soldier. Maybe create a separate campaign for both ISA and Helgast soldier (optional like Infamous) or even better Sev realizes that ISA is unreasonable and joins the Helghan.... I can see it The Darth Vader mask being put on Sevs face in slow mo.....

Next E3's bomb shell can be KZ3.

[Beast_Master]

Wow 2011 is shaping up to be big now as well with KZ3, Agent, Infamous 2 and probably the Last Guardian, (could be a 2010 release).

[locos85]

So Killzone 3 for March 2011. I still hope that we are able to kill Helghast easier. I don't like having to unload almost a whole clip for them to die, when you shoot them in the body. Do they wear some special kind of body armor?

[Lifendz]

but that's expected with the PS3. I can't wait to see where they go in the story. The ending of KZ2 left me, and probably most of u, in suspense for the 3rd one. I love the gritty metallic feel to the stages but I think if Guerilla threw in a jungle type stage it would be beautiful.

I'm sure this is true. Expect KZ2 sales, and many other PS3 exclusives, to go up dramatically following a price cut.

[Darrius Cole]

Add Final Fantasy Versus XIII to that list.

[MriownBOTH]

graphics were simply amazing...lets hope they make the online game play better

[MAR-TYR-DOM]

they can implement more controller settings. Like one for classic killzone and one for noobs like me, controls like COD and BF BC with auto aim :) i suck though online thats why im complaining.

[HQLocated111]

I love Killzone 2 but I hate the maps. They all feel too small. The maps need to be BIG like Battlefield Bad Company (or like the desert map on Killzone 2). All the maps feel too small for 32 players.

[D4RkNIKON]

Use the control settings (Alternative 2). The button layout is exactly like COD, that is what I use because to me, there is nothing better. I have been playing COD since the beginning ;)

[Raf1k1]

I think there's a reason why the maps are like that.

There's a crap load of processing going on in the background to get the game looking the way it does. Bigger maps would mean more processing power is needed.

I can't wait for the next Killzone game but in terms of graphics I wana be realistic. Will the graphics be better? Definitely but I'd have to be pretty optimistic to say they'd be worlds better.

[gaffyh]

@1.6 - Yes they do.

@1.2 - Please don't call those retards out, when they start talking you can't make them stop.

[himdeel]

...co-op for sure this time.

[xwabbit]

the only thing i want on kz3 is a better ranking system

[darthv72]

No offense to anyone but I lost interest in the 2nd one after only a few hours. Tried the online and ranked up a level but havent played it since a week after it came out.

I am expecting 3 to hold my interest cause 1 and 2 just didnt. Nice gfx but that is all I saw. Resistance (IMO) has a better overall story and I have been playing both 1 and 2 until 3 comes out.

[Ju]

There's plenty to do in KZ2. Go for a trophy hunt. They all look doable, except I am stuck on getting Radec killed on Elite, and 1 kill away from the 0 death (still Radec), but I got Radec in 1:30, at least. These 3 alone should keep you busy for a while.

BTW: I think the shooting is pretty realistic. You don't need to empty a clip to kill the Helgast in Easy - Elite, well, yeah, that may take a bit (and is damn hard - without an MG). But there are still 1 shot kills with a well placed head shot, or two shots: first helmet, second head ("Melon Popper" is awesome).

Oh, to add a line to be on topic. Its obvious they are working on KZ3. They mentioned already that they have worked on the engine for this TV commercial/tech demo, like real dynamic reflections in water and such. Fluid dynamics can't hurt either (well, not really needed in a desert). There's room for improvements. I like that they started right away without wasting any time. But still, I hope they don't rush that out and try to be "over creative" again to break the good in the game (happens sometimes - don't fix what ain't broken).

[himdeel]

...there is a lot to do in the single player game if you enjoy the game. I still haven't beaten the game on veteran but have only played it on that difficulty. I could easily lower the difficulty and beat the game but refuse to do that :) Whether you want to get all the emblems, intel, or trophies I feel like there is plenty to do in Killzone 2. I've also gotten back into the campaign to try and get through levels without dying.

Now with Killzone 3 the things I'd wish they'd include is local and online co-op. I'd like some larger open levels to really get that chance to use the sniper rifle. I'd also appreciate a level or two that is a more stealthy level or has the option to go the stealthy route. A slight upgrade on the melee and the ability to grab an enemy and use them as a shield would be cool. I like the controls just fine and enjoy them them a smidge more with the precision mode. I did try to play on alternative 2 mode but switched back to standard controls and have gotten use to them just fine.

I've enjoyed K2 and it's a game that I know I can enjoy every time I boot it up. I really enjoy the new multiplayer maps. Definitely worth getting.

[ChrisGTR1]

lol yea thanks for the news.... now we have another 3-5 years to wait just like the first one.

[JBaby343]

Don't be an idiot hater. The engine is made now. Development with be much quicker and still look better than KZ2.

[D4RkNIKON]

No, they will use the KZ2 engine for Killzone 3 and it won't take them nearly as long. They built the KZ2 engine from the ground up and they wont be simply using it for one game.

[edgeofblade]

For all those of you who seem more clueless, people are disappointed that Killzone 2 has already taken a backseat to so many other good games.

Killzone 2 was a great game. I know, I played it. But it wasn't the second coming, despite examining the evidence plastered inside the shorts of fanboys. It was good... just leave it at that.

But when you get such a dense release schedule of first party games, did you ever think one game might cannibalize players from another game? Yes, you can have too much of a good thing, and too many good game releases too close together actually is WORSE for the sales and likewise for the user communities. That is, unless you have the holiday season to increase your sales bandwidth.

[solidt12]

I wonder were the story will go next?

[cmrbe]

True you can use alt 2 but i find the default settings much better as you are able to use the cover system better with it.

The cover system is extremely important when playing at the elite level.

[Orange]

wasn't it a success? 2 million copies @ $60 is $120 million by my math. if it made anything over the budget, then GG's developers get to keep putting food on their tables and doing what they love. i'm sure they're pretty happy.

[chidori666]

killzone 3 ...

My dreams became reality. *-*

[sniper-squeak]

if FF or MGS have gone multi-platform... Playstation has many amazing games that will be the future exclusive frachises for good! :)

[evrfighter]

"$60 is $120 million by my math. if it made anything over the budget"

Don't forget all distributors, retail stores, cost of physical media (shouldn't be more than a buck iirc) advertising, the publisher, shipping costs.

they don't see the full $60 returned. Not even sure if they see half that. The only time they'll see almost all profits is if their going the Digital Distribution route. a game that sells 500k copies on steam probably makes more in profit than a game that sells 2 mil boxed copies.

[Xbox Avatars Shoe]

Can you even imagine what the graphics will look like? Probably something like the KZ2 intro, in other words real!

[SinnedNogara]

Killzone 3 will dominate 2011. I really want to see a epic trailer like at E3 06 (it was 06 right?).

Hopefully they add co-op.

And some more weapons.

Anyway, Killzone 2 was AMAZING. I did try to make a review, but nobody read it.

[nycredude]

Damn I don't know about you. Sometimes I think you are a 360 fanb0y and sometimes I think you are a hater. SOmetimes I think you are both but now i think you are just an idiot. Now you are complaining Sony is stupid for releasing too many games too close together?

JUst stick to the xbox and you won't have that kind of "problem".

[The Lazy One]

The graphics are great as is aside from a few minor ground textures here and there. Chances are they'll try to up performance.

Dedicate more processing power to physics, player counts, and AI I think. Maybe bigger draw distances, but I think those 3 would make the game a lot better than worrying about upping the graphics in any major way. Maybe to support megatextures or some more efficient texturing method, but the lighting was great, the models were great, the animation was great, the environments were good.

[Headshot81]

Guerrilla Games are some of the most talented devs alongside naughty dog,SCE Studios Santa Monica, sucker puch, insomniac, kojima, Polyphony Digital,Evolution Studios,Media Molecule. You gotta be kidding me!, they'll be dishing out over 20 HIGH QUALITY games GUARANTEED!!!!, You can't get high caliber games like these anywhere else! I think ill go watch a Bluray on my HDTV @ 120hz(pops open 007: quantum of solace).

[Tarasque]

This is great news, now they have the engine made they can work on delivering a good single player experience this time around.

[Ju]

"Dedicate more processing power to physics, player counts, and AI I think." - That doesn't make sense. The destruction physics, hit response (anim+physics), number of players(MP)/NPCs(SP) and the AI (Elite!) are pretty much unmatched anyhow. Draw distance is graphics.

What I'd hope is a different environment. Back to KZ1 with jungle, desert and/or snowy mountains. And improved visuals. Better character models (yeah, I admit, they look a bit creepy) and maybe subtle improvements here and there. UC2 water simulation! (full reflective depth, and close shaders for wet pants :)

[y0haN]

I know I am gonna get disagreed to infinity, but I didn't finish the KZ2 single player, it didn't interest me enough to continue :(. The multiplayer was good though.

[Myst]

Well I think --

*Turns aside and hears the sound of a stampede approaching and simply moves aside*

Anyway, I think it would have started production by now. More than likely shouldn't/won't this one be released a bit faster than Killzone 2? Being that the engine is already done and I'm sure their probably going to make a heavy graphical leap again as well as add some things into the multiplayer section to make it even better than the one we are presented with now.

[prunchess]

As the credits rolled at the end and the "Special Thanks" section came up, Guerrilla Games got a mention for their assistance. (Insomniac and others also)

At this point in the current gen it bodes well for us gamers when developers like Naughty Dog and Guerrilla collaborate!

I expect REALLY BIG improvements in KZ 3.

The only criticisms I'd have of KZ 2 is the ranking system was too short and the game deserved more weapons.

An absolutely stunning game though!

[yoghurt]

I think it was in the 'controllable 4d video' that you could download of the PSN, where they said they have already got new and better ways of doing things, I think one of the things he said was real-time reflections etc...

[spandexxking]

as much as like KZ2 i had to laugh when they said they still had to add real-time reflections, we've only had that in other games for like like what, ten years???

[Mu5afir]

We haven't had many games with real-time reflections. I think Uncharted had real-time reflections on water. But I think Gurrila is talking about real-time reflections on anything that shines and can reflect light.

[spandexxking]

so games like Max Payne and prey(where you can see yourself in a mirror) arent using real-time reflections? *i'm actually asking a question, not trying to be an ass.

[Mu5afir]

No, they are controlled reflections.. Like Uncharted had reflections on Water. Max Payne etc.. had refection on Glass. But that's not the only thing that reflects light. The key here is light reflection, it doesn't have to be a visible image.

Think about a waxed dance floor. That reflects light.

[spandexxking]

so kinda like GT5P where you can see the markings of the track and other cars on your car?

[edgeofblade]

spandexxking, those "mirrors" are just windows into another area where they re-render the same content in reverse. Pop in Mario 64 and look in the mirror room. You can move the camera into the mirror and realize that they are actually rendering another Mario.

[Superduper09]

I'd love to see lush jungle as one of the stages in Killzone 3. I think it will look amazing.

[locos85]

I would to see some color. I love the art style and color of the Uncharted series. There has been too much gray lately, Infamous and Killzone 2.

[JBaby343]

But I have to say that the color palette worked really well for both KZ2 and inFamous. I was a little disappointed that they added some color to Killzone 2 since the 2007 E3 trailer because I loved the dark, gritty look. It still looks good but I preferred the other. inFamous has a great look to me. I like it that what color there is stands out because of it but it still has a gotham city feel but the most color of all comes from my acts. Both excellent games nonetheless.

On Topic: Can't wait for the next Killzone.

[edgeofblade]

On color palettes, I really don't care as long as I can distinguish friendlies and enemies, and the lights on characters really did that well in KZ2.

But I still can't help but think people criticised Gears for the same color palette thing but gave KZ2 a pass...

[Orange]

i don't know. the Uncharted 2 beta is making my eyes hurt with all the saturation. i like KZ's color palette.

i'm going back through on elite, and this game is hard as h3ll. way harder than Uncharted on crushing.

[mastiffchild]

@Edgeofblade-Honestly you think KZ2 gt a free critical pass in that area? It wass one of the biggestloudest moans about the game and began an age before the game even released.

This said I don't really recall much stick heading Gears way for it at all(and Gears deserved it more as it's two games with the same grey/black/brown palette while Killzone1 was pretty varied, no?

Whatever, I just don't agree that Killzone got a pass in any area from the critics-many of whom didn't like the fact that, in some areas ay least, the game levelled and even beat the E3 trailer that they all said it wouldn't get near. Killzone2 really paid for it's success, imo, whereas Gears didn't pay nearly so highly even with those Epic bullshots stirring the pot!

Both amazing games though and I'm hoping MS give Epic a little longer with GeOW3 to really push the 360. If so 2011 could be a great year(again).

[Jaces]

Well what made KZ2 easier was that the Helghast had Big red eyes staring at you so you had a better sense at where they were at, lol.

[SuperM]

"But I still can't help but think people criticised Gears for the same color palette thing but gave KZ2 a pass..."

Funny... because im pretty sure it was the other way around.

[Qui-Gon Jim]

It did go both ways. Hypocrites on both sides.

[SinnedNogara]

That is a very good idea. Just shooting Helghast in the jungle. I would like to see very deep weapon customization (grenade launchers, underslug shotguns, optic sights, scopes, etc) and some more vehicle levels. I want to ride a ISA buggy!!! And co-op.

KILLZONE 3!!!!

[Sony Rep]

Killzone 3 will look amazing. Killzone 2 was a AAA game. I have no doubt Killzone 3 will be tens times better.

GG have learned a lot after developing Killzone 2,.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Dear god, a 30A game!

Just kidding. I expect it to be excellent as well.

[LarVanian]

Great news. Best of the week without a doubt.
I'm expecting KZ3 to release at some point in 2011.

[Erotic Sheep]

Earth anyone? :)

[Syronicus]

Even a return to Vecta would be cool. There was plenty of greenery that could have been and could yet be int he next game.

[MJY2K]

Don't think the Helghast would make it to Earth. Also I think a return to Vekta would be a bit annoying, just yo-yoing between the 2 planets in each game

[Panthers]

At least for the first part of the game you will still be on Helgan due to the ending of KZ2.

SPOILER

If I remember correctly, a bunch of Helgan ships (those star destroyer looking things) flew over you after killing that dude.

[ultimolu]

*screams*

Um...hmm.

No one heard that. ^^;

[donnie-2105]

lets hope the devs concentrate on the gameplay more than the visuals as i found K2 to be a very generic FPS overall i loved the art style but think that minus the hype and graphics its way behind halo cod4 etc in multi player and single player.high hopes for k3 though with the pressure of them a bit graphics wise

[LarVanian]

Care to explain how?
Because personally I find COD and Halo to be quite generic compared to KZ2.
In KZ2 you feel as if your controlling an actual soldier on the field. In COD and Halo it feels as if you are pushing a trolley.

[LiquifiedArt]

Did you just say Generic FPS and justify it by saying "Call of Duty"..

This is a joke right?

You can have your opinions but seriously.

My own opinion says KZ2 is a better game all around.
Story, Graphics, Gameplay, Art direction then any COD game.

And for all the little things that hurt its original online experience like, slightly imbalanced assault class, difficulty to play with friends and aiming...

ALL 3 of Those are now fixed. I recommend you get the newest patch and test it out. Its vastly superior experience, compared to launch day.

Just an opinion again.

[peeps]

i hope people don't call you a fanboy for stating your opinion. I too have high hopes for kz3 and was let down by 2. I really enjoyed the first kz (i have lots of fond memories cus thats where i joined the clan that i still play with to this day) but kz2 just had too many annoyances. Now they have a great engine and game out there though they can fully concentrate on making kz3 play really really well.

Also it's hardly a surprise it's in development. they left 2 open for a sequel and i doubt they would have wanted to build a great engine from the ground up for 1 game :p i reckon it will be a good 2-2.5 years till we see it though. it won't take anywhere near the time of kz2 cus of having to dev the engine, new platform etc but i'd say 2 years minimum for a game of this standard

[D4RkNIKON]

Don't forget the in game clan system where you can set up clan battles and tournaments right from the game. F*** gamebattles! Not only that, the classes and abilities gave it much more of an edge over the gameplay in Halo and COD IMO.

[peeps]

"Don't forget the in game clan system where you can set up clan battles and tournaments right from the game. F*** gamebattles!"

my clan was number 1 for a while until we stopped playing :p the problem with the ingame ladder is that half the time you'd sort out a game and the other team wouldn't turn up, or 1 or 2 players turned up, or people only wanted to play 2v2's. also there seemed to be very little challenge. i guess these problems are more down to the clans that play the game, but really i'm sure there are some tweaks they could do to the system

[DJ]

Get rid of the Saboteur character class. I easily run across groups of 4 or 5 of these guys during games, and they all look like my buddies. Well, until the bullets start flying.

[PirateThom]

I've actively started hovering my cross hairs over anyone that walks my way, just in case.

I don't think you can get rid of them though, I theink they balance out the snipers in an odd way.

[Snatcher]

I did not like Killzone 2 at all, and I could not care less about this one.

But good for those who loved the second one though.

[themyk]

i respect ur opinion.

i just can't believe anybody who's a fps fan can hate this game.
not that i'm calling you out of anything. it's just weird.

[marcindpol]

hope this time it will be more balanced and not broken at launch(no party system, no details on game you are about to join etc..).

still not sure if i'll buy it

ps.just traded in KZ2 for in store credit.

i am ps3 fanboy by the way!

[Pennywise]

Broken?

Your definition of broken is different from the rest of the world. Broken does not mean missing two features you wanted.

[D4RkNIKON]

LOL @ Broken! Go play Socom months after release and tell me KZ2 is broken. Give me a break, and you call yourself a PS3 fanboy.. This game is an AAA title that every PS3 fanboy must own, to trade it in is to trade in your title as a gamer IMO.

[themyk]

broken. lol.

what did u get for credit. 12 bucks. maybe 20. thats retarded.

i used to trade games as well. but i swore i wouldn't do it anymore. i was looking at my games the other day. and i was like damn. i wish i wouldn't have traded my old games.

i'd still have

cod3
cod4
rainbow 6 vegas
rainbow 6 vegas 2
resistance
resistance 2
mgs4 (i know i know)
gta4
uncharted.

damn that sux.

i'm going to rebuy. the ps excluses at some point. but i shouldn't have traded them in the first place.

NEVER AGAIN.

now all i got is

killzone 2
littlebigplanet
gt5p
ratchet and clank
infamous.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

first of all, socom isnt broken anymore... yes it had a horrible launch but now theres barely any lag... and as far as killzone 2, it had a smooth launch with no lag.

[jerethdagryphon]

hawx is a broken game,
challenges connection issues blatent graphical glitches control problesm thats broken

sligt controller lag and features not implemened is not

[chisox100]

This is not good. The only thing that could stop me from playing Killzone 2 would be Killzone 3 and I don't want to stop playing Killzone 2 yet........but this is yet another amazing PS3 exclusive

[donnie-2105]

nearly forgot please add co op this time please and more variety of guns you had 4 years for god sakes k2 should NOT have been missing these features.THE MULTIPLAYER IN K2 DIDNT FEEL FUN WHICH IS THE MAIN THING REALISTIC OR NOT THE CONTROLS WERE SLUGGISH IF I WANTED REALITY WHY WOULD I PLAY VIDEOGAMES.ALSO THE SINGLE PLAYER WAS A GRIND WITH A SERIOUS LACK OF ENEMIES AND GUN VARIETYS.PLUS I THINK HALO3 IS VERY OVERATED BUT THE COD GAMES BOTH TRUMP K2 WITHOUT DOUBT

[BlackPrince 42]

Now let me play as a Helghast so I can blow off Rico's head with a shotgun in the first few minutes of the game.

And also, I'd like to be a few feet taller in Killzone 3.

[darrensworld]

I thought Killzone 2's story went from good to cheesy to good to epic. That cliffhanger ending was epic, i hope they capitalize on that and give us something above and beyond.

[Cacic]

Nice another amazing game coming exclusive to the PS3.

[Qui-Gon Jim]

I expect Killzone 3 started concept stage stuff even before KZ2 was finished. They probably finished KZ2, took a week off, then started full production on KZ3.

[SnuggleBandit]

ya or maybe even before...sony loves to pump out them exclusives :)

[MetalGearBear]

"umm, why?"
u sound like dumb little boy.

[IQUITN4G]

I hope there is loads more classy swearing like the last one and brilliantly realized characters that are endearingly lovable

Yeah you don't want to follow what Uncharted does with it's lame scripting and delivery

Killone2 FTW and all that

Sarcasm yes

[ColossiSlayer]

Hopefully they bring back secondary fire and all the weapons from Killzone 1 (loved that game). Playing from the HGs perspective (the good guys) would be cool as hell. I call Viscari's return as well for KZ3. All in all KZ2 was an amazing experience best FPS on PS3 and I'm talking campaign, R2 is extremely close. Online wise IMO the 3 best online PS3 games are:
Warhawk
KZ2
MGO ( damn Konami Id's)

[Qui-Gon Jim]

I think it misses the point to say that the Helghast (or the ISA) are the good guys. I think the story makes it so that both sides have been wronged and both sides have done wrong. I also really, REALLY doubt that Visari would be in KZ3.

[theonlylolking]

KZ2 is nearly perfect. these are its probs

story mode:too much cursing

online:not enough weapons, and not long enough ranking system also not enough maps

I think KZ3 will be a huge graphical leap for consoles(again) No, matter how much 360 fans will most likly not admit that KZ2 really is pure graphical and pure fun awsomeness. Hope GG can make another astounding game.

[themyk]

the story didn't have too much cursing. i hate when i hear that.

your in a war. your adults. how do you think people talk

haze had too much cursing. only because u could tell it was forced
all the cursing in killzone2 came at good times.

it's just because it's a game people mention the cursing u don't hear people ripping bad santa because of cursing.

[JBaby343]

Game or not, Rico seemed to swear just to do it and it really didn't carry any weight by the end of the game. His character was just too unrealistic. Granted it's a war but he seemed like he would curse just going out to get the mail. Still loved the game though.

[Veneno]

Just another title to chalk up on PS3 with graphics that dwarf everything else on any console

[Dellis]

Not shocking and its coming in 2011

GG already has the engine ready to go, so it shouldn't take 5 years

to make another one

[Crystallis]

And the exlusives just keep on dominating on the PS3.

[BX81]

It's funny that you say that because a lot of people make the argument that the PS3 has better exclusives and some will say they stick out because the multiplat. games on the PS3 look better on the 360. It's off topic I know I just found it amusing how people try to spin things in favor of their favorite system. Not saying u were trying to do that.

[N2NOther]

You can say what you want about Killzone 2, I liked it, but the fact that you're forced into having pistol and not being able to swap it out for a second gun is lame. Other FPS have this option and yet KZ2 takes a giant step backwards.

[Qui-Gon Jim]

You can, at a couple spots, switch out your sidearm, but the one you start with is awesome, so why would you want to?

As far as if you want to switch the pistol with a long gun, that wouldn't make much sense for a realism based game like this (yeah, realism based despite being sci-fi). Real soldiers carry a sidearm and a rifle and only specialized soldiers carry something else in addition to that.

[BX81]

Hmm I like the KZ2 single player but not a big fan of the multiplayer. Hopefully KZ3 will be a good one for the fans of the series. I don't think that there will be that much of a difference between the graphics of KZ3 and KZ2 but what will be interesting is to see if they implement some sort of 3-D, now that would be sweet.

[yorkie]

Killzone 2 is easily my fave shooter, COD just cant hold a candle to this baby in graphics, physics, gameplay or multiplayer. I only hope they can push on with Killzone 3 though and not go down the COD4/WaW route of just re-hashing the same game in a different setting.

[BX81]

One of my biggest complaints with COD4 was the fact that you could shoot through a metal pole and 20ft from you and still accurately hit some one with a head shot all the way across the map. I'm talking about bog.

[andrugrif]

Cooperative multiplayer is a must.

[SuperStrokey1123]

yes i would really like this as well

[Isis06]

The only reason I haven't bought Res5 is the co op system.
I play games like FIFA and GH with my friends but Res is something I prefer to play alone, it's probably the best ex of how a co op can ruin a genre, for me at least. I like how Naughty Dog tackled it, it is so popular but it would have destroyed the sequel. I think it would do no good to KZ.

[starcb26]

i want split screen skirmish with more bots

[mikemill]

Killzone 2 was an awesome, best shooter I've played. I absolutely loved the first person cover system in the campaign and the enemy AI. It really made the firefights feel so dynamic and authentic.

Based of what Guerilla did with Killzone 2, Killzone 3 will be freaking awesome!!!

[Darrius Cole]

KZ2 was clearly GG's first attempt to foster on online multi-player community. Killzone 3 should be an overall better experience than KZ2. GG has had a lot of time listening to feedback from actual players about what features are important to them. All problems that GG fixed with patches will be absent.

For instance, it will be very easy to find and play with you friends in the next game. (I do believe that the party system or rather the lack of one combined with difficulty finding and playing with your friends hurt sales of KZ2.)

All these improvements will come without sacrificing anything. I don't know how much KZ2 weighed in Gigabytes, but it can't be any more than 30 that would mean that GG still has at least 20GB left to play with.

[LiquifiedArt]

Now the whole "playing with friends" is fixed and the game is better now then at any prior time.

But yes. Initially playing with friends was wayyyy too difficult and it surely hurt the longevity of the game. People went back to play games they could play with friends.

[QuackPot]

If bots had truly Elite AI to allow ranked games...

.... plus human players could easily take the Bots place in a game(likewise the bot takes the humans place if he quits a game)....

....then there'll always be full games...

...and you'll be able to jump into them at will....

...with your friends.

Think about this GG....and the makers of Warhawk 2/Starhawk?

[TheMART]

Ofcourse KZ3 is in development.... As soon as KZ2 was shipped the team started on KZ3, what do you think a studio would do else, taking a year break? Come on. Sony owns them. Sony makes sequels from games they want to be their flagship titles. So if they can influence the proces yes, there will be a KZ3 and probably a KZ4 if the series remain populair.

Just like you see a new Ratchet&Clank, God of War III and all the other franchises build. I would say DUH

[Nelson M]

Here have a Disagree to just for the Hell of it !!

[OO7]

What a dumb bot

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'm sorry that these guys are giving you a hard time. I think they have labeled you an Xbox fanboy and will give you disagrees and negative feedback no matter what you post.

On behalf of all REAL gamers...

...I apologize.

Here are bubbles.

Everyone else...chill out and read his comment. He was stating fact. Killzone 3 is in development because Killzone 2 sold well.

[ZEEBO4LIFESTFU]

are bat sh!t crazy. for real. IF this game does come out it wont be for 2 years. Its a stupid story from ps3 hype. GO FIGURE. The developer could habe said anything, he cold have been asked a question and said No, were not in development yet. But leave it to N4G retards to say WOW IM SO EXCITED FOR ANOTHER DOMINATION PS3 EXCLUSIVEEEEEEEEE. i really cant stand any of you.

[NotSoSilentBob]

If you don't like what is said then you do not have to come to the website and choose to comment. People should be excited for another game from GG. Their first Ps3 game was better then anything some Devs have done in 3 or 4 games on the system.

[gamingisnotacrime]

you are a jealous one boy

[Spike47]

Killzone 2 will be not only better than K2, but possibly one of the best FPS shooters of all time. Was Killzone 2 overhyped? Maybe a little, but so is call of Duty 4, and Halo 3 is massively overhyped.

[-x.Red.x-]

killzone2 will be better then Kz2?

:D

[QuackPot]

I'd love for ND to make KZ2 instead of GG.

GG has gotten better and did a good job with KZ2 but also made obvious blunders.

Had ND or Santa Monica Studios made KZ1 & KZ2 - knowing their experience and great games - the Playstation would likely now be the home for the best shooter on a console.

Give us a new IP GG and give the game to ND or Santa Monica Studios. Frack, imagine what Epic would do with KZ3 with all their experteze with shooters.

[NotSoSilentBob]

Oh yea give it to Epic they guys who have only rehashed every game they have done. Gears 2 was what Gears 1 should have been. With UT Epic can not decide what they want to do. Yea give it to Epic the guys who ship a game that has such bugged Multi player that it wasn't playable for a few days(GeoW2), yea give it to Epic so they can claim that their engine is better then the Kz2 engine(full lie)

[QuackPot]

Oh yeah, you obviously knew I was taking about shooter gameplay.

oh yea, suppose you didn't.

[yog-sothot]

Graphics in KZ2 are already so good that I would not mind if they keep the same engine with just a few improvements. The controls are great so they might just add some new original weapons.

I hope they can add a bit more variety in the environments and in the objectives though, that would be awesome ! I also think that their great background should allow them to make a better story. KZ2 story had good moments but was globaly quite average imo.

And if they add some kind of coop' campaign, then it would be close to perfection

[gameman]

yeah just like halo

they have to milk it like a caw first halo wars then halo3 :odst and now halo reach NEXT HALO PARTY AND HALO KART

[-x.Red.x-]

I keep hearing halo kart.

sounds like a real game too.

[meetajhu]

Wow my most favorite game is getting a sequel. Starting my hype from today!

[Ninjamonkey]

God if it looks significantly better Ill be amazed....

Hopefully though they will put some more intuitive modes into KZ2's online to go with the thing where they do lots of game modes in succession.

I want an escort mode =D

[JonnyBigBoss]

Wow, hopefully it doesn't have the delayed input. It was my only gripe with Killzone 2.

[maverick1191]

jeez imagine when we see kz3 pics it would make kz2 look last gen graphics i will be buying day one no doubt kz2 is amazing imagine what kz3 wil be like

[Little King]

2 player coop local and online as well

[Barragan]

now ps3 is getting the game to conquer even that

[gamingisnotacrime]

Based on my experience of buying KZ2 first day. I will buy KZ3 first day also, cheers

[dj55555555]

well they have done the ground work with Killzone 2 with the one of the best game engines that has ever been made, cant wait to see what else they have planed with the 3rd. Hope thy keep the controls the same as i have never felt so immersed in a FPS but also make a second option for the COD wimps who think in reality you can run, jump, shoot and still get perfect head shots.

[deshon09]

all i could ask for is co-op

[PimplePopperMD]

Who cares? Maybe they will actually code a light source and realtime shadows this time around. Pathetic, entry level devs.

[deshon09]

lol you fail

[Rourker]

I don't think you understand what Guerrilla Games has accomplished with the lighting in Killzone 2, there are real time shadow casting lights, there are also the scene lights that don't cast shadows, but they are placed in spots where you wouldn't notice them unless you went out and looked. I will say that the shadows in killzone 2 could be a bit sharper, and I hope they will be in Killzone 3.

[Pennywise]

Your name says it all. You are obviously 13 yrs old and have no idea what you are talking about. KZ2 lighting is amazing.

[Ravage27]

But seriously, everyone expected a sequel to be made :p

Got a strong feeling they are taking us back to Earth,heard them saying that during an interview. I have absolutely nothing against that,just that hopefully they don't choose to base the whole game at some featureless desert-like environment. I am sick of middle-east environment for shooters, will much prefer to see a modern city setting.

[Mister_G]

Isn't this old news? I thought KZ3 was in development for PS4.

I'm sure it was mentioned a few months back.

I might be wrong though :)

[Blow Out Your Brains]

Killzone 2 shipped with broken shoddy controls, that's a fact. I sold it recently because it just doesn't compare to COD4. The multiplayer was fun, but there's ultimately too much grenade/rocket spamming. Also, I downloaded the new maps and it's pretty much impossible to find a game on them because barely anyone is playing them, that's pathetic. The Killzone 2 MP community is buttcheeks compared to COD.

[HDgamer]

I'm sorry you couldn't play with controls that instantly aimed for realism but were fixed by a patch 2 weeks after it was released.

[onanie]

You're not a fragfx user, are u?

[mt]

really good story ... with better hero .
i mean recognizable hero characters . look at the Helghast they are more famous and recognizable than the heros themselves.

[PStu'rd]

Good thinking sony!! You need something to compensate for the lack of future COD installments on your system. Even though no one will buy it and it will create massive financial losses like the first one, kz3 just may take the lens flare effect to a whole new level ahaaa ha ha aha

[rayjelic]

I wouldn't talk if I was you with that piece of sh*t for a game Odst or what ever you want to call that sorry a&& halo game.

My i-phone give off better graphics then that game, and what's with that trailer? he can turn latches with out moving his hand.

Ahh sh*t let me find out this mother f*%ker got powers now.
I see now why yah getting so arouse for that halo reach.

Go sit down somewhere you Milo lover freak.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Seriously...you don't need to be an insider to figure this one out.

[Rhezin]

keep thinking like that and it'll get you nowhere, but HATED.

[chidori666]

staff of gerrila games are increasingly entering the list of the best developers ... a few months ago and did kz2 now kz3.

I love you gg

[Rifle-Man]

Yeah KZ3 needs a longer ranking system. I'm still trying to get my red tiger MP5 in CoD4, and for what? Because it's a goal.

[TheFlyingPenguin]

I hated Killzone 2 for 1 reason and that reason is Rico I hope he dies in Killzone 3.

[Honor_in_Armor]

The sequel is expected. I wouldn't expect this game to release any later than 2012. There are also rumors about Killzone: Liberation 2 so if Guerrilla has these 2 games in the pipeline, then don't expect KZ3 anytime soon.

Anyways...
I'm about to play KZ2 right now..

[TwistedMetal]

killzone 2 rocked. after playeing K2 i couldnt play generic cod waw or halo. both of those series feel so last gen and been there done that feeling. in waw its like shooting cardboard cut outs of people and thats a fact.

[Solotov]

don't worry about the graphics as much this time...try to make a game that is actually fun to play for an extended period of time.

[Silber]

oh cool, just another 6 Years to wait for it...

[HDgamer]

I would love to see some jungle areas, cities, and more beautiful planets.

[housegroove76]

I like the aiming but if I had to change it i would say reverse the movement/weight of the guns. Start off with it quick moving and then slow/drift when you stop, instead of slow to start and then stop quickly.

As a complete side note...I dont know why but i think KZ2 helped me out in Resistance 2. Playing KZ2 for so long and the going back into R2, I was practically headshotting every chimera I came across.

More variety in the color pallet would be cool, but not in the same stage. As a design standpoint, I like each stage to have a color theme,KZ2 did this very well. Just add in more themes =D

[Morituri]

I want a 3rd alien race to be introduced. New race = new tech.
I want the battle to go back to Veckta.
I want the return of secondary fire.
I want the co-op play(not that I care about it,just so everyone will shut up)
Same goes for split-screen.
I want 4 characters like the original KZ, that allowed you to play in a different style.
I want more varied enviornments.
I want to pilot a ship.
I want kittens.

Get to work GG.

P.S. I want another bull-shot trailer to get everyone rabid again :)

[cmrbe]

I am pretty sure that they have already worked on KZ3 even before KZ2 ended.

GG spent alot of money on devloping the KZ2 engine. They have no other option but to dev KZ3.

I am not sure why people are shocked with this. I am pretty sure Resistance 3 is also in development. No big deal here. We already know this.

[Marty8370]

Killzone never took 5 years to make, It took around 3 years.

For starters, GG was still working on PSP version of killzone when the trailer was shown at E3. PSP Killzone released October 31 2006.

GG arn't a huge dev, so they work on one game at a time.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Until KZ2, there were only about 30 of them...at most.

Now, there are over 70. Now that they have the whole team together...it should be a pretty simple task to make KZ3.

Actually...

Let's do this:

Single-player - 2k Boston
Multi-player - Insomniac
Score - James Newton Howard
Camera Direction - Takk Fujimoto
Writing - Ken Levine (2k Boston)

Does anyone have a problem with that?

[keess]

Cool very cool

[Father Murder X]

What about Killzone 2 warrants a sequel?? I mean Killzone 2 was a sequel to a mediocre Killzone and you see how it sold. Sony needs to stop making sequels to games that didn't sell that well. Hell what is next Lair 2 and Heavenly Sword 2. Doesn't make any sense. You guys are already salivating over the graphics but yet Killzone 2 had good graphics but it still sucked. Sequels should be based on games with good pedigree not bad title after bad title. maybe guerilla should just scrap Killzone 3 all together and work on another FPS. They will never be able to live down the failure of the Killzone franchise outside of the SDF/hardcore group. Guerilla have the tools and are talented but Killzone isn't going anywhere. It hasn't gained any traction after two games they need to go back to the drawing board and work from there. God have mercy on my bubbles!!!!!!

[Hudahudahuda]

What sucks and doesn't is all opinion, but there aren't many people that agree that Killzone 2 sucked. Just a few highly vocal minority on the internet. the world does not revolve around you and there were many people that did enjoy it. That warrants a sequal.

And Killzone 2 sold fine btw. Almost at 2 million last time I checked. Be sure to tell me when you create software that a million people bought.

[Guitardr85]

Dude!!! Chill the F out! If you don't like this game then fine, but don't say that it doesn't need a sequel just because you don't feel it needs one. A lot of other people like this game and feel this is an awesome thing! You must truly be a huuuuge fanboy to seriously not want gamers to be happy. There are some games that I don't like, but that doesn't mean that I don't think there shouldn't be a sequel for it...let me rephrase that...I don't CARE enough about games I don't like having sequels. If you don't like the Killzone franchise then that's your prerogative, but I then fail to see why it affects you in the slightest seeing as how you probably won't be buying the third game. Find something else to complain about!!!

[Morituri]

And I don't really care for further graphical improvements. I want advancement in gameplay and storytelling.

Despite what you think, the killzone franchise has been a success for GG & sony. Unless you are privy to their boardroom meetings and bank accounts, you really should not go around accusing any multi-million-making company of supporting a "failure".

[cardgenius]

Sweet. But they need to make the aiming easier for all those whiners out there that said it was too hard. Cause theres just not enough people playing it.

[tawak]

for a couple of months i had my cod waw then sold it to ebay then right away brought the so called kz2 just less than a week of having the kz2 game probabaly like 4-5 days i sold my kz2 on craiglist.. so much of kz2 for me,i had enough (it never even had a chance to be placed on my games shelf ..lol)

[Amnesiac]

Cool, maybe they'll actually make good controls this time. And then they won't have to release a patch AND STILL NOT GET IT RIGHT.

[AuToFiRE]

no really.. killzone 3! what a surprise! /sarcasm

but seriously look at the ending of killzone 2, of course is going to be a third

[Guitardr85]

I can't wait!!! The cliff-hanger at the end of K2 is killing me!!!

[iANONYMOUS]

Well, lets wait 3-5 years for it to be finish..
Start so fast when their product dont sell that much =="

[Guitardr85]

To be honest a lot of that time was developing the engine for K2. Since I'm guessing they will be using the same engine, I doubt we will see the same development time with K3

[ShadowCK]

Another? Someone clearly doesn't know what "AAA" means. Your AAA Exclusives are Littlebigplanet (If can be said with a straight face) Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2. That's it.

Killzone 3 will, in theory, be AAA material but by the time it comes out I won't care. Because by then, I will be an old man.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

^Hasn't played LittleBigPlanet...

There's a reason LBP is so highly acclaimed with gamers and critics.

IT'S GOOD!

So...Uncharted, Buzz (play it before you knock it), MS:Pacific Rift, MLB 09: The Show, inFAMOUS, R&CF:TofD, Valkyria Chronicles, and Warhawk are all of a sudden not AAA???

What are you smoking?

[ExgamerLegends2]

to beat that game. Of course my first playthrough was on the highest setting ( no other way to play right?) I'd given up for 3 months. Then I was bored waiting for E3 To start and tried again. I died 325 times throughout the whole game. 106 of them were just on the Radec level. Got trophy for killing him in under 20 mins so it was worth it. Cant wait for K3.

[gamerzBEreal17]

another 4 years of waiting for a avrage game :D

[sick1nyne]

Warhawk2 plz!!!!!!!

[dagreylion]

The ending was incredible and I cant wait to continue the battle.....

[ticklechamp]

i'm definitely ready for another killzone.i had lots of good times with the previous iterations. wrap it up,i'll take it.

[TheShow01]

one thing that was missing in KZ2 is the smoke trails left behind from the rocket launcher and explosions that were shown in the E3 2005 trailer .... if KZ3 can pull off that kind of smoke, dust particle effect .... then ... just wow ...

[ShinFuYux]

I seriously hope they make it longer and with better dialog. I mean, I didn't have any "emotional" connection to any of these characters in the game. I hope they make the story much better and more interesting.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

I agree with this. Guerrilla has nearly perfected the multiplayer. If they focused a bit more on the single player this time, it could very well be the perfect FPS.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

this one doesn't take another 5 years. I seriously can't wait for this. D=

(strangely enough, I had never even heard of Killzone until Killzone 2)

[bjornbear]

Not worth checking out since KZ2 substituits it, buts its very much alike- it was extreemly based on the multiplayer...i barely ever did the single player campaign =P

[dustgavin]

Still playing through the MP in Killzone 2 and it is still amazing. I can only imagine what they have cooked up for Killzone 3!

[jhoang]

with maybe a more memorable character's and a fourth game this could be the halo of the playstation

[Jones Miller]

wont suck *ss like the first two.

[DevilWillCry289]

I bet GG will use another CG trailer and say that that's in-game graphics. whe KZ3 comes out it will use a lower resolution from the trailer just how they did with KZ2. I just hope they dont focus to much on graphics this time and leave other important features out just how they did with KZ2. I will probably rent KZ3 cause I dont want to make the same mistake i did with KZ2.

[teh-panda]

Please Santa. All I want for Christmas is for Killzone 3 to have a campaign where you play as a Helgast soldier and have it in there POV.

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[saimcheeda]

yeah killzone 3 will own all!!
