Killzone 3 Is Brought To Light [Analysis]

PlayStrum writes: "It started with a screenshot leaked by Konsolifin and soon escalated to an expanding stream of information flowing through the internet's many gaming news outlets. Guerilla Games' graphically gorgeous First Person Shooter is back in the form of Killzone 3. It's probably only a matter of weeks until we get deeper in detail with the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), but fans of the franchise couldn't wait. News of the game is spreading like wildfire and from what we've witnessed in the screens, it's for a good reason."

an engrossing story with the amazing graphics plus some of the most realistic gameplay/shooting mechanics=AWESOME

i bet that the snow environment is going to be one of many to come....UC2 raised the bar with snow environments....im excited to see what GG can come up with...

Chubear5105d ago (Edited 5105d ago )

Could you imagine the insane environments?! WOW

Allelujah005105d ago

Welcome back Guerilla Games!!! We all knew it was coming from Jack's interview on GT but what we didn't know was anything about it. Snow environments are always Epic, and I'm guessing this will probably be the last in the story because I don't think it will be on Earth or Helghan and the final battle will therefore be carried out on a barren planet that is theirs to wreck? Anyway, the only thing I'm concerned about is the 3D maybe it will limit it's graphical qualities but still, Epic! Oh my god how long till release, can't wait!

Forbidden_Darkness5105d ago

If you saw the pictures, you can tell it'll stay on the level of KZ2's graphics atleast.

Hideo_Kojima5104d ago

Makes me realize that there is a huge amount of room for improvement in graphics for non 3D PS3 exclusives.

I seriously think GG are some the best gaming developers when it comes to graphics and efficiency.

DA_SHREDDER5105d ago

@ Cevapi , I cant argue with anything you said but the realistic/shooting mechanics ? Really? I dont care how beautiful this game is, I aint buying it if the controls was as wack as last time. Those pics are amazing though.

Cevapi885105d ago

Newton and his laws of physics say HI!!!!

MAR-TYR-DOM5104d ago

yeah i understand the weighty controls were for realism, but i just hope they have an option to change between weighty and arcade style. Im not dissing KZ controls, but COD4 has changed the console FPS genre and lots of people are used to that feel. Guerilla Games should try to do what ever they can to allow as many people to enjoy the game as possible.

BrutallyBlunt5105d ago

Love games set in the snow. This game will be visually stunning too.

Tsar4ever015104d ago

I'm glad they're stretching the series, but I HOPE they at least make the game more COLORFUL, that was one of my few little gripes about the game. Too much damn grey/brown all over. And also the muzzle flashes of the assault rifle weapons needs to be redone, something like the 1st Rainbow six: las vegas game would be nice. I think.

SonyOwnsNextYear5104d ago

i mentioned this bout a month ago.

Hideo_Kojima5104d ago

Does that mean you go undercover dressed up as a helghan and try beat them from inside? Or vise versa...

That sounds bad ass and we might see more stealth in this game.
A bit of stealth is good in any shooter.

KZ3 will Be Just Awesome...

KZ3: FPWS

Chubear5105d ago

FPWS?

on a side note. Don't think much will be shown of KZ3 at E#. Tops it'll be a teaser or trailer that shows some of what we've seen in these pics but I think they'll focus more on Resistance3 for footage since that might be the FPS coming out this year for Sony.

Shadow Flare5105d ago

Well Guerilla are using the same game engine to make Killzone 3, so don't be surprised if Killzone 3 is further along then you think. May even launch spring 2011

sikbeta5105d ago

KILLZONE3:

FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR

RememberThe3575105d ago

I think Killzone 2 is much further along then we think it is (that sounds contradictory). Even with the bullet commercial they were talking about how they had upgraded the engine to show dynamic reflections in the water(this game is going to look so damn good).

Hideo_Kojima5104d ago

Yeah and they said that soon after they finished the game they found a way to add pores to the clothing which they used in that trailer...

all that in just 1 or 2 months.

I am gob-smacked that they are pulling 3D on Killzone 3.
That means that any game could possibly turn 3D as KZ2 is the best looking console game.

i cant wait for this game, imagine how awesome the graphics and jetpacks will be!

scar205105d ago

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT COMES OUT (rips hair out)

Maldread5105d ago

Not sure if this is accurate, but march 13th 2011 could be the day according to this : http://start2begin.co.cc/?p...

Now stop pulling your hair out, if you`re not going for a summer haircut that is ;)

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

1Victor369d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar369d ago

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

jznrpg369d ago

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

badz149369d 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!

Vengeance1138369d 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 Kim369d ago

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

VersusDMC369d 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?

Vengeance1138369d ago

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

solideagle369d 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.

Phoenix76369d 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

REDGUM369d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730369d ago (Edited 369d 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.

blacktiger369d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca369d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal369d ago

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

Imalwaysright369d ago

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

bouzebbal1120d ago

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

MadLad1120d 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.

Applejack1120d 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_B1120d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1120d 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.

1120d ago
Vegamyster1120d 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.

SinkingSage1120d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1120d ago (Edited 1120d 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 Kim1120d ago

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

MadLad1119d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1120d 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.

Magatsuhi1120d ago

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

Binarycode1120d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1120d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1298d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
