More Evidence Pointing Towards Killzone 3?

Chubear - 48 days 15 hours ago

I strongly believe this game will look to go back to Vekta. It'll likely start off on Helgan with the troops trying to get to escape pods or crafts to get to the mother ships in the skys for a quick retreat to Vekta but with the Helgan army in hot persuit.

This means more of the game will be on Vekta with more flush scenery. Unlike Helgan's barren waste lands, look for the colour palette of KZ3 to go from gray/black/red/brown tones to lush Greens/Whites/Yellows/Purple tones of the Vektan planet.

We'll get to see the 2nd gen utility of the Edge Engine rendering Jungles, Swamps, Snow levels and sea/water battles.

Gosh, Vasari was right - "The madness... b-e-g-i-n-s, argh!" *que KZ2 theme music*

Thanks 1.3, I kept thinking when writing that "uhm, something's off with that spelling" lol

You mean...Vekta? Not Vectar.

I'd bet good money that Earth is going to get involved in KZ3.

That's awesome. Hopefully that's what there working on. I'd like to see if they are able to enhance the engine they use for the game. This gen ND and GG have truly set the bar for graphix and, with the power of the PS3, they can only go up. Looking forward to it.

I really want to know the next graphical step from GG

The next step would probably be using real people like in that movie "Gamer"! Seriously, I'm pretty hype about seeing GG enhance their engine.

It won't be rushed. It will release when it is ready and if that is 2010 then so be it. Remember Naughty Dog only took 18 months to make Uncharted 2 and look how that turned out.

prolly what they are attempting to do...steal halos thunder

dont own a ps3 or killzone, but from what i saw, it looked pretty awesome graphics-wise (cant comment on gameplay cause i havent tried it out) i wonder if they can even go beyond that

if only gg and bungie combined to make AAA multiplats that everyone can enjoy together...that would be (cant even find the word to describe how sweet that would be) lol

If it's done right ( lame, I know ) then why not a wand. But again, it all depends in what form and shape it will be. If it's a Wiimote thing, then it's nothing for me I'm afraid.

Not for me either I'm afraid, leave this type of game to 'normal' controls I say. Can't really see motion controls enhancing the playing experience.

If the wand is an option for the likes of KZ3 and R3 then surely it will be a necessity.
Imagine using the traditional controller against players using the wand, most people wouldn't stand a chance. This is, ofcourse, assuming that it would be similar to the Wii FPS controls.

Aiming with the Wiimote is instant, I'm not a PC gamer but I would say that it can potentially be as quick and accurate as using a mouse. Now imagine using the Dualshock3 against a player using a mouse and keyboard.

In one of the demo videos Sony did say there would be a system performance hit when using motion controls in game, so just how much that would impact who knows, but I certainly don't want to see a game like Killzone take a step backwards or even standstill I want it push on with even more on screen action, effects, graphical loveliness and so on.....

EDIT
I do agree that Wands v Dualshock3 could lead to a disadvantage for the Dualshock3 users but remember the wands are an extra peripheral, unlike the Wii which has motion controls as standard to the console, so not everyone is going to have the wands, this surely makes motion control inclusion extremely unlikely.

I didn't realise there was a performance issue when including motion controls.
I'm on the fence when it comes to buying into the wand controller. If it is not included as a control option for AAA games then it's a definate no-no for me. Just yet another peripheral that won't be given the chance to reach it's potential.

"but remember the wands are an extra peripheral, unlike the Wii which has motion controls as standard to the console, so not everyone is going to have the wands, this surely makes motion control inclusion extremely unlikely."
On the other hand that could be a reason to include the option. The wand could become even more relevant to the hardcore crowd than to the casuals and therefore sell like hot cakes.

One thing is for certain though and that is I'm sure as hell looking forward to Killzone 3, guess we'll just have to wait and see about the 'wands'.

GG deserves to have their game come out in late Oct/Nov to take advantage of the Christmas season. They deserve that.

You summed it up perfectly.

SHOOTERBOX is only worthy of 1 game, pathetic.
