We’ve played Killzone 3 – our detailed hands on will attest to that and we absolutely love it – but we only got a small sample of the single and multiplayer modes to play through, so the news that the full game is now complete and has ‘gone gold’ is good news indeed.
“There’s a new and improved melee system,” we said in our hands on, “much better character animation and some bombastic new weaponry, the WASP rocket launcher transforming into a devastatingly powerful (not to mention accurate) device that requires immediate mastery of the new artillery like ‘alt fire’ mode at the level’s mid point.”
“There’s also more emphasis on the relationship between characters (mostly through cut-scenes) although the script is a little too ‘gung-ho’ for our sensibilities – the end of mission pep-talk a particularly cringe-worthy few moments.”
SCEA’s Mike Graham has today confirmed that “Killzone 3 has officially gone gold, and will be coming to stores on February 22nd, 2011.”
The game continues right where Killzone 2 left off, with the player assuming the role of Sevchenko from the last game. Outnumbered and isolated, it’s now a question of survival.
We’re hoping to get hold of the game as soon as possible – when we do we’ll be all over it.
Update: SCEE have just confirmed the release date we’ve all known about for several weeks thanks to retail sector. February 25th for UK, that’s a few days later than our cousins in the US – February 22nd for them and even later than the rest of the EU (again) who will see it on the 23rd.

What’s with the new trend that goes; US: Tuesday, Europe; Thursday and UK; Friday? Don’t the publishers love us equally as much as they love the americans? Bah!
Really looking forward to getting my hands on this though…

It has NOTHING to do with publishers. It’s ALL to do with retailers preferring to have new stock on a Friday.

Ok, thanks. But when GT5 was released simultaneously over the whole world, that was thanks to Sony, rigth? Why can’t other publishers do the same? I find the slight delay a bit annoying…(Note: just a bit)…

Way too many good games coming our way, and so soon after X-Mass, don’t know if my credit cards can handle it – or the wife…..no honey that’s not a new game, tis just one I haven’t played for a while!

Saying you haven’t played it for a while and it’s not new to the wife. It worked on mine with GT5 thinking it’s prologue until she saw the advertisement. Had to take her out for a meal, bah! (the meal was delicious, so it was worth it lol)

I do find the best way to foster a healthy relationship is with more and more complex webs of deceit. The game is old. No that doesn’t make you look fat. Yes I did pay the bill. My results came back negative.

I’m not familiar with the phrase “goes gold.”
