Killzone 3 gets revealed


I guess Sony just couldn't wait a couple more months to release the first bits on info on Killzone 3 since the latest issue of Gamepro is full of it. Here is a rundown of what was announced.


- All of the characters in the screenshots are flying in.. jetpacks?!

- Will include arctic levels.

- Game is playable in 3D!

- Have to wear 3D glasses, apparently the 3D effects are "crazy."

- Combat is "unchanged from predecessor."

- Or is it? Hand to hand combat involves you "Unloading a string of different (and often brutal) attacks on stunned enemies."

- The scale is supposed to be "bigger this time."

- The Jetpacks are "surprisingly lightweight and agile, Killzone 3's jetpack is easier to maneuver compared to the sluggish incarnations of the gadget found in other games."

- New weapon called the Wasp, basically shoots a "flurry of rockets" at an enemy.

- Will show off the Helghast culture.

- There is actually a Helghast language, which will be explored in the game.

- Have to sit in the center of the 3D tv for the 3D effects to work.

- Jetpacks double as a weapon, which basically means a machine gun mounted right on top of it.

- If you shoot Helghast with jetpacks, they'll "explode like roman candles"

Everyone knew this game was going to be announced soon, so maybe that's why I am not that excited about the news. Or maybe its because the 2nd game let me down with its sluggish multiplayer full of spawn camping. Spawn camping is everywhere, but when the developer makes a class that enables the entire team to spawn right outside your spawn its retarded. The single player campaign started off well enough, then went downhill. The game was definitely pretty though so I guess we have that to look forward to. We will see. my hype meter is still at 0% until I see some gameplay.
