Killzone 3 Coming Next Year?
Oh, yeah, that one again.Published 20/10/2009 at 8:00 by nofi
Killzone 3 On The Way [38]
Killzone 3 Speculation: “The Internet Is Bored” [25]
Rumour: Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Resistance 3 To Be Announced At E3 [33]
The last time we mentioned Killzone 3 the story was quickly pulled amidst threats of violence from several high ranking Helghast officers. Interesting, then, that the Official PlayStation Magazine wasn’t bothered about such retribution when they published their own rumour this month in the mag. According to rumours floating around the web on page twenty of the latest issue is this snippet:
“Insider slips reveal three big names you can already pencil for the next year. Killzone 3 is reportedly deep in development, Insomniac’s Full Moon Show podcast hints at a project we can only conclude is Resistance 3, and a Treyarch employee’s online [sic] mentions a Call of Duty: World at World [sic] sequel.”
Deep in development, eh? Well, ignoring the Resistance 3 stuff which we’ve already covered (and the World at War sequel is as certain as getting cut up by stupid drivers in the morning) this places the game probably towards the end of 2010, in around 12 months. If Killzone 3 uses the same engine then it’s really only story stuff they need to work on (much like Halo 3: ODST’s development) which is entirely possible.

Meh, I loved Killzone 2 but I’d rather they work on improving the engine a bit more.

I think they do both.. tweak the engine and make it up one number..

The developer commentary in the Killzone 4D bullet-time thingy that was up on the PSN Store revealed that even shortly after KZ2’s release that they had already improved the engine. Those improvements are almost certain to be in the next game.

Ok, at least that gives me enough time to finish KZ2!
I am stuck in Visari’s palace, really frustrating…

You’ll never make it out alive, the end of the game is too hard! I got stuck there and never managed to complete it which is god dam annoying cos I wanted to unlock and try it on elite mode. I just gave up playing it.

Me too I tried it on the hardest level I could as I wanted a challenge. Tried and tried but could not finish it. Traded it in after all that. I do regret it as it was a good game.

I’ll probably trade it in too if its worth anything or has it gone Platinum now? I completely give up and seeming I loved the demo I didn’t actually enjoy the game as much as I thought I would.

I got good money for mine, but that is unlikely now as in my local Siansbury’s it is only £14 so I doubt you would get much.

Hint: Shotgun. There’s one at the back of the room in the doorway (or whatever it is, it’s been a while).
It took me ages, but I found that and shotgunned the hell out of that bastard.

Yeah but its getting to him! On Elite difficulty its too hard to get through all of the soldiers before hand! Really annoyed as I am so close to getting this trophy, as already finished it without dying

I’m hoping this is basically Killzone’s equivalent to HALO: ODST.

ODST wasn’t as good as I thought it would be.

you want Killzone 3 to be an overpriced expansion pack?

I may get flamed for this, but I hope the controls arnt the same as K2. Hated the fact it took for ever to move around

That wouldn’t be the controls, that’d be the gameplay.

KILLZONE 3! I’m totally psyched about this, all they need to do is make the SP more.. fun! Instead of having to shoot stone walls all the time

Uncharted 2 was released 23 months after the original I believe. A December 2010 release for Killzone 3 would be 22 months are after Killzone 2. Sounds a solid enough time frame to me to create a great game.

Naughty Dog are known for releasing at least one game every year, though.

Well maybe they’ve been helping with Killzone 3 as a thank you for the help they received.

Killzone 2 was amazing, a 3rd one based on the same engine, grahics etc would be 10x better.
I agree that the story would need beefed up a bit though. GG has alot to think about story-wise

This would be cool if true,no reason why not. just be interesting to see which direction story goes maybe a prequel or better still play as Helghast and be able to kill Rico (i hated him).Maybe even getting that Wand motion thingy out for KZ3.Roll on KZ3 i say.

Hmmmm…. another Killzone well I would love to have another bash with KZ2 and try get it 100% (DLC included) but can’t be bothered being a medic or a repair lol I just wanna fight as a sabotour (sp?)
Anyways would like to see Killzone 3 as well but no need to rush though. Hell they are still other great games to be played for, next year. I hope it will be a wee bit longer as I felt KZ2 was quite short unless it was me that rushed it xD (Elite was damn hard but worth it)

Giving Insomniacs release cycle, having Resistance 3 next year is not that far fetched. Actually, I was kind of expecting it after Killzone 2 hitting the PS3 2 years after the first one was released. As for Killzone 3, it’s a strong possibility if they don’t have to update the whole engine, which is likely, as Killzone 2 seemed damn fine to me.

If this is true just show me where to pre-order!.
KZ2 is my favorite on PS3. As an all round game it is better than COD and UC2.

Hmmm KZ3.. I didn’t enjoy KZ2 as much as I thought I would, but i’ll definitely keep an eye on this one!

I really disliked KZ2 online, but enjoyed the single player. Hopefully KZ3 will have a great story and a better online.

It’s opposite for me. The online was great. It felt really brutal and real in comparison to the unbalanced and arcadey COD, which I really like about KZ2 online. The single-player lacked an interesting story and just felt too much of a chore to play through, the only thing I liked was the great enemy AI and the beautiful graphics and set pieces. Hopefully KZ3 will be more daring with the story and be a little more original.

Can’t wait for this, KZ2 was my favourite game for ages and hopefully this will be better.
