If you’re the kind of gamer that enjoys a nice thick story to go along with all your killing, then this rumour about Killzone 3 will likely please you. The United Kingdom’s Board of Film Classification has given Killzone 3 an official rating – 18 – and in their rating review they mentioned something interesting. There’s a line that states the length of all cut scenes that were provided for the rating.
“01:10:00:00 SUPPLEMENTARY CUTSCENES PROVIDED FOR RATING (APPROX)”
As an American, I’m not even going to pretend that I understand how the BBFC goes about their business, but it sure looks to me like there’s 70 minutes worth of cutscenes in Killzone 3. On one hand, it’s a little bit of a surprise when I think about what the cinematics were like in Killzone 2. On the other hand, the story trailer Guerrilla released last week does show that there seems to be a larger emphasis on the plot.
I don’t know about you guys and gals, but I’m all for a fleshed out story to go with my explosions and death, so let’s hope this stupid yank hasn’t misinterpreted what the BBFC means.

KZ2 was an immense game, definitely the best PS3 exclusive fps but the only problem with it was the narrative which was a bit hit and miss. Hopefully this will be rectified :D

i think i like the idea of that much cut scenes since a good story means lots of cut scenes!

TSA was the first news site I saw this on this morning, and it was an American who posted it. What were all the british sites doing at the time?

In a game like Uncharted 2, cut scenes are awesome, I believe U2 had like 110 mins total, it’s what drives the story, but most FPSs cut scenes are short and quick in order to preserve the feeling of immersion that a FPS creates. I wonder if 70 mins is too much. I love KZ, but I don’t want to watch a 3 min clip after every 3 mins of shooting. I just hope that the game is like 20 hrs long or something, that way it’ll still have decent pacing.

Of course a huge story is still very important to me and cut scenes really tell the story nicely it’s sad that cut scenes don’t play such a huge part of todays games like they did back in the day maybe that is because these days people for some weird reason buy games for the online aspect only

This is nice.
It’s nothing compared to MGS4, though. That had a single cutscene that was about this length!

Great news. I love a good yarn and while I’m not really a fan of Killzone, I did enjoy the story and will be renting this at the earliest opportunity to play through the story.

Just picked up KZ2 so I can play it before 3 comes out. Can’t wait for 3 now…
