A single player demo for Killzone 3 will launch next month. PlayStation+ subscribers will be able to access the download on February 9th, everyone else can get their paws on the demo a week later (February 16th).
The demo will feature Move and 3D support although, if you choose the 3D option the local split-screen will not be available. The demo will feature the ‘Icy Incursion’ level from mid-way through the game.
Also launching at the start of the month will be the multiplayer open beta – basically the same beta that PlayStation + subscribers have had for a good while.
All very exciting news especially for our beloved Nofi who on the recent TSA Podcast described Killzone 3 as the game he’s most looking forward too. He plays Killzone 2 every day and always joins in the TSA bootcamps, the man is a total animal at Killzone (or not).

I’ll call Sony and ask them to move the demo date, when would be best for you?

My bad people I misread the US PS Blog post. The Killzone 3 Multiplayer Open Beta will be released on the the US PSN Store NEXT Wednesday not this Wednesday. Many apologies

I think I’ll give the single player demo a miss, don’t want to know the story or have any spoilers. The multiplayer on the other hand…

It will be good to see how well the Move support is implemented.

This could be a deal-maker for me. If I hear decent things about it, I’ll buy the inevitable bundle.

Nice. I’ve been looking at KZ3, Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 and trying to decide which one(s) to get at launch. So between this and the bullet storm demo on PS3 and the Crysis 2 LIVE exclusive beta I get to try all three.
I really hope that the Move support feels better than MAG. And the Crysis 2 beta also has 3D enabled so i get to compare the 2 fully.
So far Crysis 2 is looking like a day 1 purchase for me. Bulletstorm, not so much. Still waiting to try out the KZ3 open beta to make up my mind on that one. I wasn’t a huge fan of KZ2′s multiplayer, but i’m strangely optimistic about part 3.

On a related(ish) note, has anyone managed to find a retailer selling the Sharpshooter yet?

as it’s being released the same day (apparently) as Killzone 3, nowhere will sell it yet, bit strange that there isn’t a price for it though…I remember the $40 being said somewhere, so I’m guessing £20ish (any more than that though and I don’t think it will sell)

Looks quite nice. Something else to pick up if I hear good things about Move in Killzone.
