Guerrilla Games prepares for massive project, seeks new people to join team

Not too long ago, news broke that Guerrilla Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Killzone 2 is already full throttle into development of Killzone 3. It was also rumored that said game would in fact be released in 2010. That we're not sure of, but if the recent posting on their website holds true, there is no doubt that the team is either working overtime to release the game sooner rather than later, or there's another major project in the works all together.

[jams_shop]

Excellent news for gamers in general.

[Danny Dan]

I'm sure the team still wants to cram out much more from the PS3 from what they did with KZ2. If there is any improvements that need to be made, they can do it. Hopefully they can make a big leap going into Killzone 3.

[Oldsnake007]

This article fails.
GG is not from Germany, there are from Netherlands.

[Tomdc]

I hope it isn't a killzone 3 but something fresh! If they do make a Killzone 3 I think it would be quite cool to prehaps see the world they made in a new light, with more of a story prehaps even being really bold and making it open world!

[Downtown boogey]

No, sir. You and the first comment fail.

[Oldsnake007]

Are you stupid or something ?

GG is not from Germany.

I see, they have fixed it.

[bnaked]

Killzone 3 will blow us away! Killzone 2 has flaws, because they was focused on the development of the engine.. Now they can focus on the gameplay, so it will be the ultimative Sci-Fi-War-Experience. I believe in Guerilla and Sony..

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

I want to see their engine applied to other types of games. K2 is one of the best looking games of this gen. Right up there with Uncharted 2.

[pixelsword]

Among the first four types of specialists (ISA Regulars [Tank Armor], Shadow Marshalls, Field Operatives, and Rapid Resistance Forces), you'll also get the added Shock Troopers, Infiltrators, Snipers, Medics, Mechanics, and other positions from Killzone 2's multiplayer... likely along with Mercs from the first game and possibly troops with dogs like from Liberation. If I'm not mistaken, the first and second Killzone were both intended to be co-op, but hurdles came in the development cycle of both titles (the PS2 was too "limited" for the Killzone engine, and GG had to uphold/exceed the graphical quality of that trailer). Now that these hurdles have been overcome, co-op shouldn't be a problem. The biggest hurdle I see them taking on is splitscreen (which was also canned) the first Killzone was supposed to be so, as they even had it on the back of the cover, but didn't have it in the actual game.

Also, expect to see Hakka take the stage this time, as the Helgans are most likely to invade Vekta and will need someone with his knowledge of the inner workings of the Helgan military. Luger may appear, seeing as you'll most likely need someone to infiltrate the entrenchments, but I think Billingsworth will fill in that spot, since he was the one to lead Templar out of the fire from the first Killzone, I suspect he has the skill and intelligence to fill-in for Luger for the next chapter.

Also, expect to see vehicles and tanks this time, as I suspect that all of the break-away technology from the first one was just a stepping stone to Killzone 3.

[Jamegohanssj5]

Maybe they're doing another genre before they do Killzone 3. At least I hope they are.

TGSI

[Chubear]

All I know is, I will be buying, GW, ANYTHING this studio puts out. They are on another level when it comes to action thrills in video games.

If it is KZ3 then great obviously but if it is a new action adventure shooter, platformer, RPG - I"M DOWN!

[Saaking]

While I'd love a new IP, I really want to know what happens after KZ2

SPOILERS:

the cliffhanger really did leave us hanging. With Visari dead (or is he?) I wonder what the Helghast are gonna do. From the looks of it, they are gonna try to invade vekta, or maybe even Earth again.

[kaveti6616]

I'm pretty sure he's dead, Saaking.

"The madness....the madness.... begins..."

Yeah, homeboy Rico grilled his innards.

[zeeshan]

GG is working hard on a new titles.
Insomniac also working on multiple new titles
Naughty Dog are already discussing new games
SuckerPunch working on new games
David Jaffe working on a PS3 exclusive

That's simply from the top of my head. MAANNNN the Sony machine is churning out high quality games as if it's a piece of cake! Sony has something big planned for PS3. I think they want to completely destroy the competition with their first and second party exclusives in the next 2 years.

[BattleAxe]

KZ3 is a day one purchase for me :) I would love to see a remake of the first Killzone as that game was obviously not what GG wanted to put out there.

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

I have a gut feeling GG new project will be announced at the VGA's along with Resistance 3. Sony would own!

[Lou Ferrigno]

uh oh,bots will be terrified.. with the 360's timed 2010 exclusives hitting next year and "exclusive" multiplatforms they will claim as they own (e.g Modern warfare 2)..

[Dutch Boogie]

I hope it's a new major project. I want to see what else they can achieve with the Killzone 2 engine. I'd rather KZ3 release in 2011 so they can improve on it.

[rtonaey]

It might be to speed up work for an early release of Killzone 3.

I think it's for Killzone 3 but you never know.

[table]

I can see pressure being put on them for a christmas 2010 release of killzone3. I can't wait for it, the sooner the better as long as it is not rushed out. There's nothing to suggest that they would be working on a new game before kz3.

[TOO PAWNED]

I also hope it's something else, hopefully some 3rd person game. I am sick of FPS games to be honest.
3rd person games are way more cooler. Uncharted, Infamous come to mind.

[raztad]

Next year is for Resistance 3 to shine. KZ3 may be a 2011 release.

I'm guessing GG is expanding KZ3 in new ways. Including coop for instance. A coop based campaign or side missions coop like R2 would be incredible although time/budget consuming.

I doubt it's a second game. Besides the amazing Insomniac, Sony's first/second party studios are working on only one franchise.

[TruthBTold]

I feel you, I too feel more excited about 3rd person shooters compared to fps's. Thats why my favorite franchise is uncharted, I just love how it plays. FPS's are more of the same really. KZ2 was great but I just dont play it as much as uncharted. I wish we did have more 3rd person shooters.

[execution17]

didn't they say that got the KZ2 engine looking as good as that bullet commercial they did for KZ2?

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

This massive project is to infiltrate MS's Head Quarters and destroy every 360 in production and to then destroy their production resources.

[ultimolu]

KILLZONE 3.

...Nah, I'm kidding. A new IP would be great too. ^o^

[Pillage05]

they should really consider hiring some experts in the online gaming area...kz2 is alot of fun online (believe me, I've wasted a lot of my life on that game :D, 100% of trophies still after all the dlc) but everyone who's played it online can tell you 100 things that need to be changed about it.

I hope they can find a way to keep the kz2 feel, but make it more balanced and not so much of a cluster f**k. One note though, I think they make some of the best mp maps ever, just weren't built for that many people to play at once...specially with spawn grenades.

[table]

I loved that about the multiplayer, the madness in the search and destroy objective is unmatched. True that some maps suited a lower player count which wasn't always the case in the online rooms but yes, they were the best maps you'll find in a multiplayer game. I couldn't say much wrong about it tbh.

[Grandreaper9999]

I think the picking up and moving of spawn grenades should be an option. Like if you manage to clear out a wave of people from a single spawn grenade, you can pick up their spawn and throw it somewhere else. I found that killing waves of people from a spawn that is essentially on top of the objective was frustrating and ruined a lot of matches for me. You can only kill so many guys until you run out of ammo, right?

Picking up the grenade and holding it like you would when throwing down a spawn grenade would add a lot more strategy to the multiplayer, and tacticians would not only need to keep tabs on their spawn grenade, but also focus on moving the enemy's spawn away.

I always found it too easy to just rush into a base and throw a spawn grenade and wait while everyone spawned on it and then basically win/lose. Since it doesn't ever move and you can't remove it in any way, it kind of feels a bit overpowered, seeing as the automated turrets are easily dealt with, as are the ATACs, ammo boxes and mounted turrets.

Edit: Now that I think about it, having spawn grenades on top of objectives feels a lot like getting mobbed by zerglings. Sure you can kill em, but there are too many, and they come too fast.

[DaTruth]

It is the only way to play that particular objective! If the defense can spawn as much as they want in their own zone, the only way to beat them would be to also be able to spawn in the zone.

If ten offensive players rushed a destroy point, they would have no chance against wave after wave of spawning defenders. Then they would have to travel back across the whole map again only to encounter the same impossible resistance that just dispatched them!

[Gobot]

Pick me! Pick me!

[dorron]

Obviously Killzone 3.

As long as MS keeps milking the Halo cow, Sony needsa counter. So Killzone 3 is my guess.

@6.1:

That's the obvious counter...for Gears Of War.

Each game has it's own counter on both sides.

And for the matter, we were talking about Guerrilla Games here. Not Naughty Dog.

;-)

[rtonaey]

Way more popular than Killzone

[raztad]

KZ is not trying to counter Halo. The Halo-Killer thing was a media invention. Clearly both games are radically different in atmosphere/gameplay. Furthermore their release dates (Halo:Reach and KZ3 are way apart).

Resistance is Sony's weapon against Halo. Sci-Fi, colorful, floaty, 30fps. They have a lot in common. R3 will be facing off Halo3:Reach next year. We know that Halo will sell more, but PS3 owners will get yet another amazing game from Insomniac.

[pixelsword]

The Resistance series has never been 30fps, although the next one likely will be.

Also rtonaey , the Uncharted/Gears parallel is also incorrect; Quantum is for Gears, Uncharted was for the PS3's own Tomb Raider; as the 360 had/has exclusive DLC for that game (e.g. Tomb Raider: Lara's Shadow).

[raztad]

@pixelsword

Do you have a link? I've been searching for Resistance framerates info but all I've got so far is stupid comments on forums like Beyond3d and arstechnica.

I'm currently playing R:FoM and game feels like 30fps. Definitely not too twitchy, which I love.

[DaTruth]

Killzone is not a Halo killer. It is just a lure for 360 owners to make the jump. Sony wanted to show them that they could provide well for the shooter crowd.

Even if they didn't make back the money on Killzone2(they did but), it would have been worth more to convert 360 owners, increasing their fan base, while deteriorating the fanbase of their competition!

[Immortal321]

vehicles, better multiplayer, better story, and realism.

[pixelsword]

Starting off with the fact that they're fighting on other planets took the realism argument off of the table long ago. :D

Besides, when they stuck with realistic weapons (projectile-based) fanboys wanting to start flaming sessions were balking that they didn't use laser guns like Halo did.

Dinged if do, and dinged if you don't... :)

[DaTruth]

Those fanboys aren't playing it and have no intention of playing it; so they can continue as is! Maybe throw in one experimental laser gun!

There is just no need for laser guns. bullets have been doing a good job of killing people for centuries. Bullets will always be the preferred method of killing!

[xdye017]

Halo Reach will wipe KZ3

[jcgamer]

lol

[Cloud Strife VII]

GOOD JOB jcgamer YOU JUST Owand THE BOT

[piramides30]

Halo Reacg isn't rival for Kz2 even.

[xcox]

lol

bubble

[p0Wer]

Aren't you Xbots bored of Halo?

I'm sick of hearing the same damn series being milked over and over again.

[hatchimatchi]

@OP

killzone and halo don't have anything to do with each other.

stop being a moron.

[Blaster_Master]

All they need to do in the next game is take that weighty feel to it and Im sold. KZ2 would have easily been my most favorite FPS but damnit, the controls gotta feel right, and KZ2 even after the patches and dlc just never grabbed me because of it.

[rtonaey]

the weighty feel. Made the game feel even more realistic

[PirateThom]

There's about a million floaty FPS games out there, if you don't like Killzone 2's controls you have a million other options.

For someone that likes Killzone 2's controls, it's basically the only choice.

[execution17]

i personally loved KZ2's controls

[Chubear]

Don't dare touch KZ controls. There are floaty autoaim FPS a dime a dozen. I love KZ's controls. They feel great, meaty and the weapons chunky. Bottom line, gamers love easy gaming this gen and their beef isn't with weight or control setup yada yada yada.

They're problem (even though they fail miserably at pretending it's not) is KZ2 didn't have strong Auto Aim like most FPSs so you needed to refine your shooting (up your skills) but ofcourse, if a game is remotely challenging this gen it's quickly labeled as "BROKEN!" by newage gamers.

Gad, newage gamers SUCK! If it was up to them all gaming would have auto aim like in Lost planet 2 or Halo types. I understand the need for auto aim in shooters on consoles cause you don't have the precision you do with PC K/M but damn, FPS don't have to have it that heavy all the bloody time.

Let us have something that feels good and different from others. Let's have gaddamned variety.

[mastiffchild]

Drives me mad! Why are we gamers determined to make every game feel and play the damn same? GG should NEVER have touched the controls which gave it a real individual feel, that differentiated it from the pick up and play CODs of this world. KZ2 had a learning curve and, sadly, GG caved in to those who were just killing time waiting for more COD imo, and allowed gamers to change things because they were too lazy to learn something new to them. The saddest thing is that NOBODY ever complained in the beta(was there ever a more slick feeling and well groomed beta than the KZ2 MP beta?)about the self same controls that were the ame but apparently "broken" at launch!

If you like COD and the way it controls that's mjust fine-play that instead-maybe KZ2 jut isn't for you. However don't badger developers into changing their game when you're only going to drop it when your fabourite lands again-like it will EVERY bloody year with precious little change or, like what KZ2 also got bagged out over, innovation.

The learning curve in KZ2 was refreshing for a lot of us who love the game to this day(like it is in Warhawk too-a game where I'm still learning new tricks after God knows how long!)and aren't all that fond of feeling we pretty much known a game inside out within a week. Those "broken" weighty controls , to me anyway, gave a great feeling of realism to the way you shoot and handle your guns and were one of the main things stopping the waiting "COD in space" critiques that every site had on standby for their reviewers. SAhould NEVER have been patched-you don't ask a band to alter a chorus in a track just because you like the chord changes in another one better so why is it OK in gaming? Just don't bloody play it if you don't like it-there's LOADS of other, floatier FPS options for you, isn't there? Hloow dull will it be when all shooters feel and play exactly the same way?

[Blaster_Master]

Im sorry that you guys feel that way. I hate to break it down like this buuuut,, you guys are definitely in the minority with that one. Most people have jobs and play games to have fun, not to wrestle with. Also, newage gaming, if you dont like it why did you get a ps3? Ive been gaming since the atari days, hell yeah I want some new age gaming.

[silvacrest]

whether we are in the minority or not there are still plenty of games that give that floaty, auto aim, no recoil game play and i think the "after i come home from work" thing is BS, its not like your actually holding a carbine, your still holding a controller which only needs a push and a press

[rtonaey]

lol

[Rocco Siffredi]

"killzone"

I must laugh really.. didnt GG already killed themselves with the flop of the year 2009.. Killzone2??

The game went platinum after 6 months, lol! Half of the copies sold were bundles!.. there are only 6000 players online, omg compared to halo3 or MW2 its 1/100 of the userbase, lol!

Please leaves us alone with the Sony flops... R&C 250k copies sold after 3 weeks, demons souls 300k, inFamous flopped after 2 weeks.

Damn, but you like to talk about these games dont you? althogh you PS3tards didint even play the game, lol!

[CernaML]

"Please leaves us alone with the Sony flops..."

lol what. PS3 exclusives affect your 360? You people get dumber... wait, I always have to repeat this sentence to you dumb people. Whatever.

[jcgamer]

If Xbots were a movie, they would be Pirates Of The Caribbean!

lol

[piramides30]

Yes 6000 people, but I play with 31 mates. 3 times Halo 3.

[hatchimatchi]

demon's souls was a huge hit for atlus

ratchet and clank was a hit for insomniac (and not to mention one of the most enjoyable games i've ever played)

infamous is a great game but it had it's faults, plus it just hit the 1 million mark.

killzone2 is one of the best shooters this gen and it's the best looking game on any console, and it sold 2million +

it's pathetic that you get angry over ps3 exclusives. Not every game does Halo or Call of Duty sales figures. You don't have to sell 5 million games in a week to make a profit.

[Blaster_Master]

Oh trust me, Im not blasting the game by any means. KZ2 was phenomenal. They should give the option for the controls and the cover system.

[Grandreaper9999]

Cover would have worked great in Mp I think. There were more than enough grenades to flush people out of cover, and cooking grenades leaves you no room for excuses as to why you couldn't blow up the guy sitting behind the chunk of brick.

[DaTruth]

They really should have given the option for games with cover. Maybe five on five half maps with cover.

Sometimes you turn a corner and get blown away by a shot gun. In those situations, lean and peak would be good. Uncharted 2 is a game where cover is important, but in the online it's just not feasible to use it that much, you will get creamed when i run around the other side and stealth you; The online matches never get slowed down by the cover system. Same would happen in KZ2.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

'The Killers'...

You heard it hear first.

[PirateThom]

Yeah, I wish they would just stopping making lots of different new games and milk Halo... oh wait, that's Microsoft, never mind.

[proudly_X]

Resistance 3 in October 2010, Killzone 3 in December 2010,
if killzone 2 was lunched in october like unchanted 2, it'd be more popular. gamers had already spent their money before febuary and when they had money.. more games genre which they probably prefared came out.. that's my theory for the low sales of K2, the game (KILLZONE) wasn't having a large fanbase then to warrant huge sales.. games like halo and grand torismo can release anytime and get the massive sales.., so my logic holds true...

[Chubear]

I think you're on the money but I'm thinking R3 will be more mid Oct and KZ3 late Nov. with some other genre for late Oct. Who knows? maybe Motorstorm3 or Infamous2 or..... HEAVENLY SWORD 2 \O/ lol

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

They need to take their time though,Im in no hurry for KZ3,and if they are working on it,GG ,I want vehicles,more variation in multiplayer levels.That would complete me.maybe levels on Earth,Vekta and Helghan. , ,though with the way KZ2 ended. . .the Helghast are prolly going to a) set up a new government .b)invade Earth with all the ISA focused on Helghan. I expect epic maps for KZ3.from dark,grainy war torn,to lush forests and waterfalls.the engine looks like it's muscle can handle it.

[pixelsword]

The Helghast were going to cut-off Earth from the rest of the Habitable planets and starve them from resources (Helgan is the jump-point to the rest of the habitable planets) Then, the Helghast were going to invade the rest of the planets and establish a hegemony over the rest of the planets.

[nutbear96]

They are planning to make Killzone 3 bigger than MW2 and the best PS3 exclusive (Uncharted 2) but they just need to spend a little more time on making the game (because if they released it now it would have a chance of winning GOTY and the controls would probably be fixed) and they have a winner. And apparantly Killzone Liberation 2 will be released next year but it will probably be what happens after they evacuate Helghan or it will be a complete prequel because evacuating Helghan would quite a cool prologue to Killzone 3.

[squadass99]

The Helghast have already evacuated Helghan of the civilians and all that remains is the armed forces. what you mean is retreat after the loss of Visari, but i highly doubt after losing Radec and Visari they would retreat. think of it as a wasps nest, would they sit there and do nothing after their home got invaded and leader killed? i dont think they would.
On the other hand, the ISA have suffered a tremendous loss at the hands of the Helghan so i think it would be likely if we see some characters get killed trying to escape Helghan. well thats my opinion any way :D

[rtonaey]

There was just too much useless swearing in the narrative. I mean most times it did not even tie-in properly with the story.

They need to remove all of it, and try to get the game a friendlier rating.

Overall, awesome game!

[Grandreaper9999]

Couldn't agree more.

The scene where Character A is standing over the coffin of Character B held much more water than the gratuitous swearing and tough guy act Rico puts on.

I always liked the scene where the squad swoops in on an intruder and gets shot down, that was awesome, and there was a bit of swearing, but it wasn't distasteful.

Even the beech intro, where they're flying in. That had some strong language, but it wasn't misplaced.

There's no two ways about it. They need help on the writing.

[Chubear]

I just don't understand people who have an issue with swearing in KZ. It's like you've never been around military personal before? It's authentic to the bone.

And please, don't make your self look like an idiot with "My cousin, brother, uncle's aunt's father inlaw are in the military and they never talk like that" comments.

This is how military personnel talk to each other especially in a war zone. I don't want that to change. If it's too adult orientated for you then there's always Halo or Resistance types around. Killzone is balls to the wall; I don't want it watered down and fluffed.

[Grandreaper9999]

Screw friendly ratings. I was saying that when it's distasteful and simply there to be there, it comes off as lame. Helghast cursing at you was great, Natko spouting his sh*t, and Garza firing back at him is great to watch.

Maybe it was just Rico's voice acting, it sounded macho to the point where it was just campy.

[BlackIceJoe]

I so hope this means KZ3 comes out in 2010. I also want to know if Guerrilla will make a KZ:Liberation 2. I like the top down view and so want to see another game like that. I think it would be awesome if Guerrilla made both KZ3 and KZ:L2 for the PS3. Because I would love to see the top down view on the PS3. Another reason it would be cool to see KZ:L2 on the PS3 would allow more years before KZ3 comes out. So KZ3 would be even greater. This would give gamers a taste of what is to come before KZ3 comes out.

[Grandreaper9999]

Liberation did pretty good on PSP, I think they'll probably try to keep future Liberation titles on that platform. It makes sense. Why take away a successful series from the PSP to put on PS3 where Kz2 is?

[Grandreaper9999]

I know after Killzone released, GG mentioned that they wanted to take a break from Killzone. Why they would go back and jump right into a new Killzone game would be a bit contradictory.

There is a thick plot in that universe though. I know many people did not bother to learn about the "lore" I guess you could say, but it's surprisingly good. Missing colonizing ships, blah blah blah. I thought it was neat anyway.

There are a lot of great events that could be made into a game from the Killzone universe, if they ARE making a Killzone game, it would be nice if they jumped back a bit and did some recapping of the events that lead to the first invasion of the Helghast on Vekta.

A direct sequel to KZ2 seems a bit premature I think... But I would like to see what happens next. ESPECIALLY after that thing where Visari's eyes are different and Rico shoots him because of it I assumed (they're green/blue in the opening scene, and brown at the end).

[chidori666]

i hope the next project is killzone 3.

and please not put vehicles in the multplayer..

[LesterCorncrake]

truth is the majority of people who constantly knock kz have never played it, once you get used to the controls all the others feel sh1tty

[Ps_alm3k]

killzone 2!!!!!

[bigrudowsky]

Yeah i wouldnt mind seeing their engine in other games. I still think its the best looking engine out there sorry uc2.I wouldnt mind seeing a strategy game that look close to that lol i dont think its possible but it would be nice.

[rtonaey]

the controls of the game.....

Like Lester said, once you get used to it, all else is.....

[Rip-Ridah]

I've been an avid gamer for over 25 years and I have NEVER seen people act more ridiculous when involved with a hobby/career. (The "career" part is referring to the obvious media outlets and developers/publishers who resort to this childish behavior that some here are displaying.) I mean come on guys, this fanboy $h!t has become embarrassing to be labelled as a gamer. I dont care if you "heart" the PS3, PC, Wii, or the 360...just stop and check your comment history for some self evaluation. I am PRO GAMING!! Yes, I heavily favor the PS3, but I dont go around to every forum or news story bashing or downgrading the 360. Maybe it's my age and background, but many of you take this $h!t waaay too seriously. I spend my money on what I like...not what the crowd likes. If you have a differing opinion, maybe we can sit down and have a "constructive" debate about certain aspects of our opinion. I'm afraid publically discussing videogames is like talking about religion or politics; and this, my friends, is a destructive state for this industry to be in.

[rtonaey]

all you got on here are gamers defending. That's all.

[Rip-Ridah]

However, it is just tiresome when a civil discussion cant take place. Its like every gamer's a zit faced 12 year old spoiled nerd. It's in just about every story or thread you go to. I mainly read alot and rarely comment unless it's something that I'm interested in. There's nothing that I take personal online homie. Just the whole Droid this and Xbot that is stupid. Then everybody wants to cry when a game gets censored or banned in certain regions claiming how "mature" they are. If you're not a part of the solution you're a part of the problem. (In general, not you personally.)

[spektical]

Kz2 deserved so much more advertising for such a great game. Its a shame SONY didnt reinvent their marketing strategy before Kz2 came out. :(. well at least Uncharted 2 got the star treatment that kz2 also deserved :). Kz2 has like 100k+ people online each day... lol its not a lot but enough to play 16 against 16 ;).

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

Killzone it's dull and boring I hope they make a new IP...

[Socomer 1979]

People who never played K2 or just rented want to change the game to something else.
GG needs to ignore these feminine cowards & stay away from the Internet.

Too many paid fanboys making suggestions to make a halo with killzone2 graphics.
By the way the halo killer arrived years ago & it's name is Modern Warfare.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

will be pretty much ready to hit the beaches in late 2010. Considering the relative quick releases of 3 quality DLC soon after Kz2 launched, the GG devs seemed to have things nailed down.

GG suddenly and inexplicably went very quiet which seem to suggest they were occupied in 'other directions'.

Only things I want to see Kz2 improved on is a better/more original storyline and a script only half as good as UC2 would do the business. The controls are ABSOLUTELY FINE and are what gives the Killzone franchise its unique identity.

Oh and one more thing (also relevant to Kz2 ) :

UNLOCK THE GAMESAVES GG - please...!!

[TwistedMetal]

First of all everyone talking junk about KZ2 go look at its critically acclaimed status and its meta score. its got more 9&10 rateings then a victoria secret model in a beauty pagent. Secondly the game sold like 2.5 million copies so i know all of you havent even played it. Third the graphics and sound are better then gears2 and Cod4 Combined and im not even talking about sp. 4th what other FPS has a cover system and realistic aiming and movement on the lvl of KZ2? I hope they release KZ3 in 2010 because I as a ps3 owner been playing R&C ACIT,DEMON souls,uncharted2, Infamous,& Dragon age recently and none are fps. Starting next year 3D.heroes, WhiteKnight,heavy rain, gt5, FF13, GoW3 and thats mostly exclusives and only the 1st 3 months. Ps3 has more variety so Id like to see KZ3 next year to keep that variety. They should make it while the tech and killzone universe is fresh in there minds. KZ3 mech and vehicle battles will rock. hopefully we can play as helghast. I also want a horde mode wit helghast dogs.

[DigitalAnalog]

And I have no doubt they'd do the same with a new IP.

[LiquifiedArt]

I loved it, but if you compare it to popular games, its just much easier to kill someone. Wrestling with the controller isn't what most people call fun. I sunk almost 100hrs into kz2 and loved it, but I can surely see the failings.
