Killzone 3 trailer: HD stills and analysis

It all kicks of with a human and orange-eyed Helghast, erm, walloping the crap out of each other.

The camera swoops in to reveal the eerily-glowing sunburst goggles of a Helghast - gun in hand - panning out to reveal our (ginger, bearded) hero kicking his foe in the face. A shower of spark-like debris whooshes of his masked visage on impact.

Prepare for the flood. This is only the first sign of the E3 storm. I have little doubt we will see a live stage demo at E3.

This guys work fast lol

talltony5093d ago

keep em coming, just shows how scared some of you people are of this game.

morganfell5092d ago

Exactly Tony. That Killzone 3 video thread is hilarious. I was refreshing the page and laughing at the rampant disagrees from some really angry, tormented, and terrified people.

Rumor5092d ago

in the 3rd installment of things, the protagonists always grow facial hair ie Sev in KZ3, Dom in GeoW3. next will probobly be Nathan Drake.

i like the war torn look on sev tho...he looks HARD (no homo)

SOAD5092d ago

"I was refreshing the page and laughing at the rampant disagrees from some really angry, tormented, and terrified people."

Am I missing something? Killzone 3 is just a game, isn't it? Why are people dwelling on one game. Every game that has ever come out has been surpassed not long after. What's all the hubbub over one game? I'd be more pissed off if we had one game being the pinnacle of graphics for more than 4 months.

kunit22c5092d ago

Could the big pile of helghast enemies imply a mode of survive the waves of enemies??? that would be sweet!!

@talltony- Why would a human being be scared of a disc-based videogame? Word of advice, try not to say those things in public...might make people think your crazy, just sayin'

TheHater5093d ago

These are from the teaser on the official Killzone 3 website http://www.killzone.com/kz3...

Kleptic5092d ago

its pre-rendered to some degree...but appears to use the in game animation system, as you can see after multiple hits that the helghast reacts just as they do in game...and the character models and lighting appear to be very close to killzone's in game visuals...

the only obvious pre-rendered stuff is the flames and sev's face at the end...on the official forum many are hinting that its in game assets used for the characters in the melee...and sort of super imposed over a pre-rendered background, with added in flare effects and stuff...

no idea...but its definitely not all in game assets...

i been in N4G for a while i noticed your bitterness get worst and worst.. don't let bitterness kill you inside.. even if sony ceased to be a company tomorrow your life wouldn't get any better..

enjoy the games.. enjoy the competition.. without the competition between sony, mintendo and microsoft we all be paying 20 bucks a month just to be able to play computer games...

and god forbid what games prices would be if one manufacturer dominated the gaming scene..

i know you aren't just the only troll here (there are as many ps3fanboys and xbox fanboys - you are all the same) but since i generally only read ps3 news i find you in every fricking ps3 news topic.. hating..

stop the hate.. the worst thing that could happen to a gamer is if nintendo/sony or microsoft left the gaming scene..

no one owns you life... you don't have to fight their cause..

lh_swe5092d ago

It's a teaser and you are just a troll :)

If people get hyped about this game will it hurt you? It will won't it because you're just a fanboy like the rest.

TotalPS3Fanboy5092d ago (Edited 5092d ago )

LOL.

Killzone 3's graphics is so amazing that commodore64 can not even tell the difference between gameplay and CGI anymore. That, in itself, is one of the greatest and proudest moment for GG.

P.S. What we saw last week from the interview is gameplay. This here is a CGI teaser using in-game assets. But since you can't tell the difference anymore, it proves that Killzone 3's in-game graphics is really as awesome as this CGI teaser. You can even say it's a reminder that graphics like this can never be done on any other console.

nycredude5092d ago

It's using in game animations rendered in CG.

DigitalAnalog5092d ago

That trailer though it may be CG - TOOK something out of the gameplay element and not a CG built straight from a PC. But then, I won't be surprised to see the final product looking to be that good in the end.

talltony5092d ago

The fanboys are scared of this game because it is their worst nightmare hence the many disagrees for simply stating it's "cool". I just can't wait to play this.

thats in game assets and whats dones in a outsourced render engine is likly the following

the original high def high poly models from which normal maps are made
for the ingame ones

so models: not ingame

higher res textures do too no limits based off on ingame asset textures

so textures not ingame

animation: the animation system and rigging is all in game
then exported ot the external renderer.
animation: IN game

Yeh, this isn't the first time a teaser trailer's been analysed lol I mean the whole point is to 'tease' and to hint at things within the game. I mean just look at the amount of pop blocks GT have done for trailers/teasers.

ivant5093d ago

yeah. look out for a numb nut journalist believe a "teaser trailer" is real gameplay like the kz2 e32005 teaser trailer was confused with Resistance gameplay.

yeah, very lame to analyze the teaser unless GG really does implement hand-to-hand combat.

peeps5092d ago

"GG really does implement hand-to-hand combat."

well in any interviews so far they've stated it has a deep and 'brutal' melee system in place

Abash5093d ago

I wasn't that excited for Killzone 3, or Crysis 2 and Halo: Reach for that matter either because I have been kind of FPSed-out lately.

But that Killzone 3 teaser has made it a must buy for me now

SuperStrokey11235093d ago

Personally im pumped for KZ3 as i loved the second one.

Crysis 2, im taking more of a cautious position on that one. It looks good and everything from what we seen so far but I never played the first and have yet to see any true gameplay on this game (it may exist, im just saying i have not seen it) other than the "tech" demos shown a year ago.

As for Halo reach, im not excited for it at all. Talked to a few guys in the beta and they were like "Yeah, its great its just like Halo3 with more classes!" and were all excited. I just asked them, "if its just like Halo 3 why would you need it at all then?" They couldnt give me an answer. That being said i havnt played it so what do i know.

lovecipher75093d ago

Halo reach is nothing like Halo 3 the way you play the game itself is diffent. The controls are tight and very responsive. The new features work for the game. As for this game I hope they work on more things than the graphics cause the controls for KZ3 sucked. I don't know if it's the PS3 controller but the controls do not feel right compared to first person shooters on the 360.

CaliGamer5092d ago

"I don't know if it's the PS3 controller but the controls do not feel right compared to first person shooters on the 360."

Read what you wrote and think for a minute about what you said. It is logical that KZ wouldn't play like a shooter on the 360 because a) it's on the PS3, b)it's not HALO, and c) they were and probably are going for a different feel.

You like the 360, cool. But to say that all games should play the same is simply ridiculous man.

Inside_out5092d ago (Edited 5092d ago )

Have Sony and Guerrilla not learned nothing...Mind you, listening to the fan boys here no wonder they think they can pull a fast one again...

KZ3 uses the EXACT same graphics engine and graphics as KZ2...Guerrilla has already stated that...ALSO...because of the whole 3D thing...the graphics will actually be downgraded...yep...maybe that's why they're showing pre-rendered clips instead of actual game play...

Kotaku had a go at the KZ3 demo...they said it obviously was to early to judge...but it needs a little bit of work...3d made them dizzy after a couple of mins...your gonna here alot about that...

Do your self a favor and don't compare this to Halo Reach...Reach is REAL...will be here to play in 14 weeks...all in game...KZ is a whole entire YEAR away...is this the only game Sony has???

BTW...that trailer is a complete rip off of Gears of War...KZ is FPS, the trailer is ALL TPS...You can't pull off Sam Fisher moves in FPS...you have to at least pull the camera out to the TPS angle to show what is happening...like in Halo Reach....GEEEZZ...the whole trailer is a fantasy....you kids are funny...

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
