Killzone 3 dev explains the ups and downs of 3D technology

Killzone 3 is coming in 3D. Now this isn't a surprise but it's due to blaze a trail for future First Person Shooters using the technology to further immerse you in the world. Killzone's Guerrilla Games, considered rendering every bullet in 3D because it 'looked incredibly cool' flying overhead but apparently the reality of such a venture was super-tricky. This according to the game's producer, Steven Ter Heide, who we recently quizzed to find out about the intricate trials and tribulations of working with 3D tech. So read on to find out how 3D is used in development and why Guerrilla Games see it as more than just a passing fad...

No one is sure yet but it was one of the most requested features of KZ2 so it wouldn't surprise me if GG implemented co-op into KZ3

SeanRL5428d ago (Edited 5428d ago )

Co-op would be awesome. Oh, and I've seen Sony's 3D tv's working, they really aren't worth the huge price right now.

@M4bdat0ry_1nstall, they're a respected games developer, I'm pretty sure their opinion matters in the GAMING industry.

@zootang, nice one :) But I really just wasn't all that impressed, sorry if you liked them, it's just my opinion.

zootang5428d ago (Edited 5428d ago )

@PSfsan

You needed to put the glasses on.

Edit: Good for you that it is just an option which you can turn off. Many people will like the new level of immersion that is to be had with 3D.

ChozenWoan5428d ago

.

KillZone3 having Move and 3D will be Gen8 Epicness. The PS3 truly is a lovely black beast.

Get Move!
Get KillZon3D!
Play Beyond!

Active Reload5428d ago (Edited 5428d ago )

This is a great tv. And although I can't afford it right now I would definitely look into buying one in the future. This is the one that Gameinformer gave very high marks to.

http://www.computerandvideo...

Its not a Sony tv though, but its still one of the best. And its 1.3" thick =0

Lol@ desperate disagrees.

what a bunch of mental disturbed liars in denial (like the one talking about the poor 3D for pc = has been) :)

gtamike5428d ago

Can't wait to get my hands on this game, it's a must buy for all PS3 owners :D

Mista T5428d ago

if its like KZ2 in terms of gameplay and control feel then I will not buy

If only their opinion actually mattered.

@Silly gameAr

And my opinion matters more than yours. You are BENEATH me after all.

TotalPS3Fanboy5428d ago (Edited 5428d ago )

They're the ones doing 3D for Killzone 3, so obviously, their opinions doesn't matter.

Only M4ndat0ry_1nstall's opinion matters because as an N4G troll, he knows more about implementing 3D for Killzone 3 than the developers.

divideby05428d ago

LMAO.. "if only their opinion matter'
psst.... either you dont like KZ or dont own a PS3.

saying their opinion does not matter and since they are ushering in 3D, I dont think you could have made more of a stupid comment.

If Bungie were leading the charge, I would still think their opinion mattered, but than again, I own all the consoles and play games for entertainment, not a single console owning blind fanboy (not sure where you fall)

Syaz15428d ago

"One of the main issues 'cynics' have with 3D is that it's 'gimmicky'. How do you see 3D? Is it an essential component of Killzone 3 or is it more of an optional extra?

Its an optional extra. For those people that enjoy the immersive experience, 3d will greatly contribute to that feeling."

exactly what everyone should be thinking. i hate the 3d haters for spoiling things for us 3d lovers. dont like, dont use, gtfo.

DA_SHREDDER5428d ago

Agreed, its an option. A preferred option if you ask me. I went to best buy and checked out 3-D and its a game changer if you ask me. I wouldn't play games any other way if I had the option.

Redempteur5428d ago

3d is not for me right now ..but i love the concept ..in 2 years maybe , i'll get one ..( little expansive for my wallet right now ) and i'll be happy to know that 'll already have 3d games/movies to use with my PS3 ..

i'll probably play KZ3 when it ships in 2d ..but i'm pretty sure 'ill redo the campaign once THE THING ( 3dtv ) will be in my room

LOLconsoles5428d ago

Yawn, PC gaming has had 3D for year now. Yet again you console gamers are late to the party. You guys aren't even playing game in HD yet, only 720p which is sub HD. 1080p is true HD. And now you guys can only play games in 3D if the game is rendered below 720p which is pathetic really. And to think these weak hunks of plastic were touted as HD consoles, HA!

gijsbrecht5428d ago

And yet you can't play titles such as God of War, Killzone and Uncharted; just to name a few. I'm sure there a lot of games you PC gamers can play, but they just don't seem as much fun, do they? Since you are frequenting this part of N4G a lot!

TotalPS3Fanboy5428d ago (Edited 5428d ago )

But your powerful PC still can't play Killzone 3.

Meanwhile, my PS3 can play Killzone 3. And my powerful PC can play pirated PC games.

gypsygib5428d ago

720p is HD, it may be the minimum resolution for HD but it's HD nonetheless. HD TV broadcasts in 720p. Just because a resolution is higher doesn't make a lower one not HD. Would 2160p make 1080p sub-HD.

raztad5428d ago

Yeah 720p is good enough, especially on TV sets. Monitors are another story but who plugs a PS3 to a monitor? I much prefer games to sport a more complex geometry, better textures, better lightning, more realistic physics, no tearing, better AA and good framerate than 1080p. 1080p would be awesome, but not at the cost of things that really matter gameplay-wise and impact immersion.

saint_seya5428d ago

go play chest or solitary... maybe get some fun with virus and trying to get the last video card/ cpu/ memory to play a game that is not worth it.. yeah.. be happy just playing with the components of your pc.. (so we will be playing awesome games, in the time u will trying to figure wich configuration or what virus is that day ;) )

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic213d 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.

Storm23213d 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.

lockedongamer1213d ago (Edited 213d 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!

Chocoburger204d 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.

1Victor779d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar779d ago

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

jznrpg779d ago

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

badz149779d 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!

Vengeance1138779d 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 Kim779d ago

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

VersusDMC779d 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?

Vengeance1138779d ago

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

solideagle779d 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.

Phoenix76779d 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

thesoftware730779d ago (Edited 779d 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.

blacktiger779d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca779d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain779d ago

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

Imalwaysright779d 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

MadLad1530d 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.

Applejack1530d 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_B1530d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1530d 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.

1530d ago
Vegamyster1530d 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.

SinkingSage1530d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1530d ago (Edited 1530d 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.

MadLad1529d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1530d 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.

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
