AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – Guerrilla Games has spent the past two years creating the very first stereoscopic 3D game for PlayStation 3 with Killzone 3. The studio, which at one point had a team of 200 people developing the sequel, worked closely with Sony Computer Entertainment’s Liverpool team to push the 3D experience. The team also worked closely to develop a brand new PlayStation Move gun peripheral for the 3D shooter, which adds accuracy to the shooter action. And the studio’s location in Amsterdam didn’t prevent the game maker from tapping into Hollywood talent – both in front of the camera and behind it – to bring the 3D cinematics to life and borrow from the latest 3D filmmaking techniques. Hermen Hulst, managing director at Guerrilla Games, talks about the new shooter and what’s next for the franchise in this exclusive interview.
Dr. Serkan Toto says: While things do not look great for many studios in the West, things are very different in Japan – and I was shocked how little people in the industry still know and understand about the third biggest gaming market in the world (which is a probably a positive for a Japan game industry consultant like myself).
Honestly, it looks about the same if we are measuring a company's success on their all time high stock price. It has nothing to do with the sentiments some in the industry have.
Objectively the two biggest problems are cost cutting and consolidation.
Sony has published a new patent pertaining to unique lip-sync evaluation and fixing system to automatically fix NPC mouth movements to align them with the original dialogue’s timing, resolving sync issues.
This lip sync thing sounds pretty awesome. But one cannot shake the feeling, this is going to be combined with AI, and….. sigh
AI in this use is no big deal imo and result in better animation for character models.
If implemented correctly, AI is a great addition. For me, the problem with AI starts when companies like Activision use it to pump out art work, cosmetics etc to cut corners when they make so much money already.
A new patent published by Sony discusses PlayStation controllers that are solar-powered, with the ability to charge the battery under light.

My Samsung TV remote charges on solar-power or artificial lights. Or a USB if needed. The tech is hopefully getting better so it can charge a gaming controller.
With abysmal sales, what's the point? Movie goers are bigger idiots than gamers. Why killzone 3 didnt break 1 million is lunacy. Just lunacy on an epic scale of lunacy. It's the best fps I've ever played.
no, no movie please
i want brian cox for visari leader in Killzone movie!
You know out of all the genre's a film based on a war game could work. The budget would have to be significant though.
Yes, make teh movie! :)
