Rumour – Killzone 3 to release next May, features 4-player co-op

The only date officially given so far by SCEE is just 2011.

The site’s also reported that it will support PlayStation Move – something Guerilla boss Herman Hulst avoided answering to VG247 during a recent interview at the game’s formal reveal when asked if the motion device would support the shooter – as well as two separate co-op modes for two and four players, with the four-player co-op mode “objective based”.

Is well on its way to trumping the second game. I simply can't wait. I'm happy its been announced

N4GAddict5499d ago

Yeah, it looks like a big over the second title.

Killzone 3 is going to be absolutely amazing. I have utter confidence with this title, two-fold the confidence I had with Killzone 2. With the engine out of the way gameplay is all that's going to be pushed and that has always been most important. Because of the focus on the engine they weren't able to do co-op for #2 even though GG expressed they really wanted to.

Killzone 3 will be the bomb, it's going to be epic.

randomwiz5499d ago (Edited 5499d ago )

I really do hope they change some things. Make online easier. I bought Killzone 2 7 months after it released. By then, it seemed like everyone was amazing at the game online, and I sucked so much. I don't want them to make it COD noob fest, but something like the prestige system would be nice. I'm sure had I given it time I would've gotten better, but it felt ridiculously hard to do.

Another thing I didn't like about the first was that it was waves after waves of enemies with the same type of location. I'm glad they announced snow levels, but I would love to see some nature levels with that beastly engine.

The thing I'm most excited about is the destructible environments.

PshycoNinja5499d ago (Edited 5499d ago )

I can not wait for this game. I am waiting to see if they have a Collectors Edition, if they do I'm gettin it.

PS I have made a poll and have the killzone.com community participating in this poll to see what they want in the collectors edition of Killzone 3. Who knows Sony may get some ideas off this poll or might convince them to make their own survay and send it out.

Here is the poll's link: h http://www.pollmill.com/f/w... ttp://poll.pollcode.com/o22g

Uncharted 1, although amazing, couldn't achieve nearly half the stuff that Uncharted 2 did mainly due to Naughty Dog having to work on the engine most of the time.

But 18 months later they released the most awarded video game of all time! Gamers also agreed with the critics, unlike most other highly rated (or over-rated) video games. Sales also got to 3 million+ I believe.

Note how Guerrilla Games have spent most of their time working on the engine during Killzone 1 development, and the same goes for Killzone 2.

Killzone 3 will be their first game where they already have the engine laid out and only need to tweak it for better performance. Hopefully they pull out an un-disputable masterpiece like Uncharted 2!! ^_^

Hoping they have a play-through of K3 on stage to make every other game at the MS conference to look like Wii titles in HD haha JK!

Imperator5499d ago

Co-Op = EPIC.

KZ3 is gonna be amazing. No doubt about it.

eggbert5499d ago

they already confirmed there will also be jungle levels.

:D

zeeshan5499d ago

Killzone 3 already has HUGE hype surrounding the title. I can't imagine what'll happen when they finally release this giant of a title! GO GG!!! GOOO!!

tinybigman5499d ago

maybe everyone who complains about the series can stop b*tching about it.

either way i can't wait for KZ3

4-player co-op sounds awesome, Can't wait to play KILLZONE 3 with my friends.

SixZeroFour5499d ago

if it has 4 player coop while maintaining even k2 graphics, that would be awesome...sounds like its coming along great, have fun...more games need to bring back 4 player coop, even splitscreen 4 player coop

N4GAddict5499d ago

Having to wait one year will be tough

Sigh5499d ago

just announce splitscreen and we're set!

Kyosuke_Sanada5499d ago

If they are going to have a last mission as difficult(or harder) than Killzone 2, they better have co-op.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic201d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23201d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger192d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

1Victor767d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar767d ago

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

jznrpg767d ago

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

badz149767d 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!

Vengeance1138767d 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 Kim767d ago

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

VersusDMC767d 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?

Vengeance1138767d ago

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

solideagle767d 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.

Phoenix76767d 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

thesoftware730767d ago (Edited 767d 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.

blacktiger767d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca767d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy767d ago (Edited 767d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain767d ago

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

Imalwaysright767d ago

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

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

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

MadLad1518d 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.

Applejack1518d 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_B1518d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1518d 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.

1518d ago
Vegamyster1518d 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.

SinkingSage1518d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1518d ago (Edited 1518d ago )

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

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

Shane Kim1518d ago

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

MadLad1517d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1518d 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.

Magatsuhi1518d ago

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

Binarycode1518d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1518d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
