Updated: No Killzone 3 co-op confirmation

TVGB: "This week’s FirstPlay — the digital magazine for the European PSN — features a nice juicy Killzone 3 preview. It doesn’t reveal any new footage of the 3D-enabled shooter but does confirm something that we’ve been waiting to hear about for a while; co-op."

“we do know that Guerrilla is working on a special objective-based 4-man co-op mode to go with the standard 2-player stuff.”

So Sev and Rico for the campaign and separate missions for the 4 player? They've made sure to destroy any criticism anyone had with KZ2 :)

blusoops5052d ago

The only other thing that would make this spectacular is split screen co op. To this day the only shooter I own that has this feature is R:FOM a launch title. Warhawk does too but I like to go thru campaigns as well as mp online.

Also multiple psn ids would be super nice for the trophy lovers like me. Lol

aryan_irani5052d ago (Edited 5052d ago )

sorry to say but unfortunately there wont be any splitscreen for killzone 3. the devs said that it will lower the game quality and the cinematic experienced wont be experienced if they made splitscreen. if u ask how i get this from, theres a guy on the GT forums who apparently has some connections with guerrila games and he actually stated the game would have co-op a long time ago. u could search him up, i dont have a direct link to his blog at the moment sorry. he also stated that the game will have more like a battlefield bad company feel to it, online is going to be huge just like it with destructable environments and vehicles

sayonara895052d ago

They are doing stereoscopic 3D, SS is no problem at all. This comment was about KZ2?

GWAVE5052d ago

This is stinkin' sweet! Though I didn't understand why people hated on KZ2 for not having co-op: most FPSs don't have co-op these days.

But anyway, I was already excited to play KZ3. Now I have even more of a reason to get it Day One.

drdistracto7075052d ago

I hope we get to play as helghast in the co-op campaign :D

BubblesDAVERAGE5052d ago

2 player online...4 player on and offline...like halo 3...killzone engine is most powerful but it can do it...i love split screen

Darkstorn5052d ago

It would be cool to have some splitscreen action, but it's really not that popular these days. Nevertheless, it's great to hear that Killzone 3 will be incorporating coop.

I_find_it_funny5052d ago

that's awesome, I don't need split-screen

sikbeta5052d ago (Edited 5052d ago )

WOW! Awesome News, KZ3D Keep Getting Better...

KZ3D FTW!!!

Hideo_Kojima5052d ago

i love split screen i still play it with my friends

UT3
MW2
LBP (no really split)

They are so much fun in split screen mode.

If Killzone 3 can do 3D it shouldn't be too hard to do split screen in 2D.
They said that all the games that can do split screen can easily be converted to do 3D as they already render 2 different images at the same time.

webeblazing5052d ago (Edited 5052d ago )

yall jumping the gun like always most likely its main story 1 player or 2 players online and a co-op mission like most ps3 games do. i doubt they do split screen for the reason they said b4. im sure they will have a co-op standalone part like R2, UC2, ect.. ps3 games was always doing this because of the space

and yeah it maybe can do split screen but how thats gonna work with kz3 with 3d this is not kz2 like they said they built this around 3d

Ju5051d ago

Nice idea, that 3D and split screen. Isn't technical feasibly I would think, but besides that, how would you play that ? You friend sitting next to you and his perspective cutting into yours ?

likedamaster5051d ago (Edited 5051d ago )

False advertising by authors, it's 2-player co-op. There's a separate 4-player co-op mode(its not the same). Either way, welcome to the 'co-op' club Guerrilla Games. It's better late than never.

ivant5051d ago

Hyrius5052d ago (Edited 5052d ago )

Looks like Guerilla read all the players' feedbacks : Story coop, objective-base coop, bigger levels, more variety ( gameplay and level ), better control, more set pieces ...

Best FPS ever incoming.

HopSkotch5052d ago

please and a better ranking system...COOP sounds badass i'm down

Karl Marx5051d ago

What's wrong with the ranking system? I thought it was goo

Ranking was too short I thought. I hate Prestige(Whatever) and would prefare a much longer one like battlefield 2

HopSkotch5051d ago

I like the ranking system don't get me wrong...but i feel it was way too short even after the updates. Add a system more delicate and unique where you can really show off your rank

Ahh, the first real gaming news article of the week... and a GOOD one at that!

bjornbear5052d ago

just wow

so 2 player co-op for campaign, and 4 player SPECIAL co-op? (say extra missions, etc =D)

WOW!! KZ3 best up and coming FPS confirmed =3!!!

yoshiro5052d ago

very very very very VERY good news...
co-op was the only thing lacking in KZ2 imo

MONOLITHICIDE5052d ago

that and i really missed the secondary fire

FACTUAL evidence5052d ago

will be almost perfect! They have everything I want so far! Now to just make this even more boss than it is, let us play music while in campaign too, and give us cross game invites like all the recent ps3 games have been doing so far. KZ3 will be the shiznit!

tinybigman5052d ago

after hearing this good news if true (which i really hope it is). anyway i can't wait to play this next year.

NYPunkster5052d ago

Whoa ...they're really working hard over there. Good job people keep it up!

otherZinc5052d ago

I knew it: "objective based" co-op, really?

Where is the "Campaign Co-op"?

I've said this for the longest time: the PS3 cant do campaign co-op, it would take to much RAM & SONY wants a game to look good vs features.

So now they'll throw in some side co-op & followers will be happy with that?
Whatever, I wouldn't!

Jager5052d ago

Have you been drinking or do you just read the title and go off on a rant? There is two player campaign coop and 4 player objective.

So what were you saying?

NYPunkster5052d ago

I'm literally angry with rage! lol

webeblazing5052d ago

you stupid whats campaign coop and the later different it was good when splinter cell or cod did it am i right. but ps3 games be doing this for the longest 3rd party just started. campaign is usually focus on a single player for a cinematic experience but you dont wouldnt know about that since most games dont be bothered to do that. i doubt its split screen in kz3 if it do ill be surprised. and most shooter dont even have coop dont say mw2 cus the just added that and did it like resistance2 coop standalone.

yea i hope they fixed the controls i pray that they did everything about the game was perfect the classes the guns the story the maps only problem is u dont know what u are doing half the time u just crouch and spray hopeing for a bullet to go in there head i hate that about killzone it needs that point shoot kill feel that cod halo and all these other games have and before u say those games suck there really successful and have huge fanbases so they must be doing something right just imo

raztad5051d ago

"u dont know what u are doing half the time u just crouch and spray hopeing for a bullet to go in there head"

I think you are doing something wrong dude. Very wrong. Dont spray and spray, short burst are your friends, try to fix the crossbar on the enemy head, dont use ironsight if up close. Up the sensitivity of your controls and you will do better next time.

And please go away with your cod halo stuff. Those games are available for you to play. Let KZ3 be KZ.

SaberEdge5051d ago

This is awesome. That is a lot of features packed into one game.
It's got: campaign, multiplayer modes, 3D support, Move support, 2 player campaign co-op, 4 player objective based co-op and drop dead gorgeous graphics. hehe

Shepherd 2145051d ago

Its about time they included something like that.

gman_moose5051d ago

What a sad world we live in.

otherZinc5051d ago

Where did it say "campaign co-op"? When someone can post footage, then & only then, will I believe it.

If they did manage to have co-op, it will:
1. look like crap.
2. be linear as hell.

See, the PS3 has split Ram that will not allow for broad go anywhere 2 & 4 player co-op found in the Halo Series.

Disagree all you want, but I'll be right when Killzone 3 releases with less features than a game made 4 years ago.

I hope that includes offline splitscreen 4 player co-op. Lots of devs have been neglecting splitscreen in recent years. :(

SuperStrokey11235052d ago

I dont that will happen, that would be just way to much to actually have or they would seriously need to scale the game back graphically.

sayonara895052d ago

Every game is doing this in SS mode.

himdeel5052d ago

...4 player split screen to non-3D options. Use less open areas limiting the work needed to process those wide panoramic views in the backgrounds.

Other games don't look like Killzone

yeah it seems like 4 player would have to be give up something.

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!

Vengeance1138370d 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 Kim370d ago

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

VersusDMC370d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

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

lol you are comparing:

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.

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

MadLad1121d 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.

Applejack1121d 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_B1121d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1121d 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.

1121d ago
Vegamyster1121d 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.

MadLad1120d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1121d 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.

Knightofelemia1299d ago

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.
