New details on Killzone PS3 - Image 1New details regarding Killzone PS3have been revealed by game developers from Guerrilla Games. They announced some of the features they have added to Killzone PS3 which should differentiate itself from other FPS.

The developers
mentioned that it was easier to develop the game on the PS3 since they had more computing power to play with unlike the limited power the PS2 provided. They went so far as to say that if theycould imagine it, they could implement it. So what have the developers been imagining and implementing?

One of the new features they added involves the improvement of the physics engine. No longer will a tank be stopped by a wooden fence, it would simply keep rolling on. In addition to this, lighting and shadowing have been improved to cinema-like quality, making the game prettier than its previous incarnations. Finally, they have also announced that practically the entire world would be destructible. No specifics on this have been given, but we hope that walls can be leveled by using a tank.

Killzone PS3 is slated to be released in Europe on July 13, while the US release date has yet to be announced. If you've been patiently waiting for the the game, it may be good for you to know that new info about Killzone PS3 will be shown in the next issue of PSM.

I think that killzone 2 is going to live up to it's hype.

hmm

uhh... ok

I'm F'n stoked for Killzone 2 and info of almost fully destructible environments and the example of the take makes me drool with anticipation. But a UK release of July?? Phil Harrison said new news come E3 07 (in May) ... so... the first info we get from Killzone PS3 since the rendered video at E3 05 and bam its out a month later? I doubt it.

Since when was it announced to be released at anywhere at july 13th? where did they get that info from?

by - 2007-03-25 13:53:56
Holy S**T!

wow, i can't wait to see new info. Saying that the shadows are cinema quality and that its different then other FPS are some big words. I have a subscription to PSM so I'll post scans of the pages where they unveil the new Killzone info.

by Vecha - 2007-03-25 15:28:58
wow...

killzone 1 sucked worse then halo(and Halo sucks donkey's nuts) why are people stoked about killzone 2? because it has incredible graphics with a sucky storyline AND sucky gameplay? jesus I hate these halo and killzone pups!
by - 2007-03-25 15:32:05
new

Yeah but they could be the first ones to implement it well, Red Faction had it but I wouldnt call it realistic!

vecha

shut up ass clown. you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.
by - 2007-03-25 15:43:49
hmm

So Killzone 2 has sucky story and gameplay? tell me what the story is about and how the gamesplays? Oh right... you can't. And halo was far from sucking donkey nuts.

july 13th

I really don't think they should do that. I woulda thought they would wait until Halo3 comes out and release it a little after that to ensure it at least looks better. But maybe they decided this would move consoles a lot earlier and faster.
by ContrAss - 2007-03-25 15:46:24
haha

what mcsiadf said. Really though, isn't it obvious what everyone is excited for? I wouldn't necessarily say its the game people are stoked about, but if the game manages to fill the hype shoes. Honestly, if everybody was to think bad of Gears before it came out, then would it have been what it is now? And I'll agree. Halo and killzone can't stand with the Half-Life.
by - 2007-03-25 15:49:15
hmmm

If you bring it out first it will get a bigger fan base... if it come out after halo 3 it will be *****ing stomped but it regardless how good it is or not...
by - 2007-03-25 16:22:28
it will rock

Maybe killzone was a bad game. But this can be a reboot. Is a 20 million project. IT HAS TO ROCK.

In Killzone 1

In Killzone 1, I waited and waited and thought maybe in this mission they'll let me drive the tank, or maybe fly something, or ride boat, nope!!, ........I hated that, so I'm glad we'll have drivable vehicles!!!

07/09/2007

Building upon the 2004 hit Playstation title, Killzone for PS3 blasts it's way into the next generation with intense, cinematic, non-linear action. Killzone thrusts players even deeper into the conflict between the ISA and Helghast. Set in a rich and highly interactive world, the game aims to set the benchmark for facial and character animation, advanced physics, destructible environments, sound and special FX. Due for release on 07/09/2007

july 13??

july 13...is qj on coke??
by Shatterdome - 2007-03-25 17:18:58
Yeah..

I'm curious why there would be no screenshots or videos only 4 months before it releases... Unless they are seriously scared to release screens because they look nothing like the E3 vid....or they meant july 08 ?
by Shatterdome - 2007-03-25 17:22:27
Well...

Yeah, IGN seems to say July as well.... VERY strange there are no screens out for it yet....
by - 2007-03-25 17:24:57
God I hope they have screenshots in PSM

A lot of people are completely psyched to get this game, but not a single screenshot has been released to the public yet. With all the hype that's being generated with this game I'm dying to see just one. Let's hope they show us one in PSM.

Y they hell is most of 360 fanboys posting in ps3 board? I dont see ps3 fanboys posting 360 boards

FAKE

"Killzone PS3 is slated to be released in Europe on July 13, while the US release date has yet to be announced. If you've been patiently waiting for the the game, it may be good for you to know that new info about Killzone PS3 will be shown in the next issue of PSM." FAKE!!!!
by - 2007-03-25 21:06:33
WTF are you talking about?

Like them, I'm a Sony fanboy and I highly doubt this game will look like the CG from E3, there's no way.
by Vietone - 2007-03-25 21:12:52
...

Red Faction never had fully destructible environments, there was always a limitation to a certain degree on to how much you can blow through. It was very evident on Multiplayer maps where you couldn't blow through a wall thats very very thick to another room in order to make a new path, but you could blow up certain walks all the way through. For a game to be classified as fully destructible, then I would expect to be able to throw a few HE bombs and blow a hole or some kind of cover to use. Or artillery craters can be used for some light cover.
by - 2007-03-25 21:26:25
...

I hope they dont rush this game just to get it out, they should take the time they need to polish it and make it an awesome experience. Just take Crysis for an example I cant wait for it to come out (just like Killzone 2) but they have openly said that they havnt announced a solid release date because they want to polish the game off properly.
by - 2007-03-25 22:02:50
lies

The developers mentioned that it was easier to develop the game on the PS3 yeah ok !! lies its been 2/8mths where's the game huh ! ! what load of poos If its not going to look like the e3/ 05 /video ,Then dont waste my time putting it out . you will be lucky if the game rates more than a 7.5 or 8.0

perhaps it's just a VERY BAD April Fool's joke?

noncoment.....

someone people are making mistakes...

the team that made Killzone one is different than the one making killzone 2 back in killzone one the team was 40 members,and it was third party with limited budget and no access to Sony,s internal libraries today many of the previous team left and the number of staff jumped to 120 when it was aquired by Sony linking Killzone 2 to Killzone 1 is wrong...it was 3rd party back then with a smaller team and different members,things are different now and if there is anything that Little big planet taught us,it is that when Sony takes a studio,they start doing miracles [media molecule:- from ragdoll kung fu to Little big planet] will have to wait until the scans and e3 to give a better judgement

Gears killer?

If they live up to the hype, based on what I've seen so far, this looks like it could compete head to head with Gears. Let's hope so.....
by - 2007-03-26 10:49:13
Fock Yeah

This game is gonna freeking rock. Ans from what I've heard I think it will look as good as the trailer and in some ways even surpass it. I cant wait for this to hit the US.
by - 2007-03-26 11:04:21
maybe

i hope it lives up to at least half the hype

sdf

go table cat ok we got people saying that halo sucked.... we got people thinking that gears is going to go against killzone2. gears is already getting old shouldnt u be comparing killzone2 with halo3? oh well i guess you really cant since theres no betas for killzone or halo yet
by - 2007-03-26 22:20:17
Killzone 2 vs Halo 3!

Hopefully Killzone 2 can live up to that amazing trailer they put out.. But speaking of comparing and Gears of War. It's funny how they compared RFOM to GeoW. I mean, it's a freaking launch title that can kinda stack up to a game that came out 1 year after launch. But on Killzone 2 to Halo 3, personally I don't think that Killzone 2 will be able to compare with Halo 3. Even though Halo 3 is a ordinary FPS with no major merits to it, it does have HUMONGOUS hype backing it up guaranteeing major sales and near guaranteed high ratings (look at Halo 2 and it's ratings. And the single player sucked!). How ever, Killzone 2 doesn't look to be a ground breaking FPS either and will most likely play like a ordinary FPS unless it's online mode can save it (like how Halo 2 is only good for online). I bet that Halo 3 will have WAY greater sales, but Killzone 2 will have better gameplay, physics, and MAYBE graphics. To xbots that might argue about me saying KillZone 2 will have better physics: it's because the Cell can handle much better physics, AI, etc.

each console needs a great fps

It is really too bad that people are so single console minded, for lack of a better way to put it. Anyone who is a console first person shooter fan should be excited about both of these games. There is no question that Halo 3 will be amazing. The first two games prove that Bungie knows what it is doing, and there is no reason to believe that with as much riding on this game as there is, that they would let us down. Anyone with a brain and a trigger finger should "Finish the Fight." As far as Killzone goes, I think everyone is too hard on the first one. It was a great game for it's time, and looked very good on the PS2. Sony is putting alot of money into #2, and that usually results in a good product. The PS3 is a powerful chunk of hardware, and I am sure they will use it to the best of their ability. I think that they have alot to prove with this one, and I am hoping for the best. Why not? Why take sides? Don't be negative just because you can't afford both consoles. There is really something for to look forward to for FPS fans on both the 360 and the PS3, and if you have both, your in heaven!

I`m sure that
