Many are wondering what's up for Killzone 3, specially after that spectacular launch it had just last week. Gamers are just in the early stage of enjoying the game, but already, they can't help but ask for more. They want it so bad, that game copies are flying out of the retail shelves, too. And it's only been a week since it came out.
Many are wondering what's up for Killzone 3, specially after that spectacular launch it had just last week. Gamers are just in the early stage of enjoying the game, but already, they can't help but ask for more.
At the Community Forums for PlayStation US, Guerrilla Games producer Seb Downie took the time out to answer the fans and their questions regarding the future that they hold for Killzone 3. One of the more popular queries they had was whether or not there will be more Operations DLC.
Asked user rirruto8, "will there be a DLC for more Operations maps?" Operations is the new game type available in the Multiplayer mode of Killzone 3. What makes Operations particularly exciting is that there are a variety of strategic objectives they have to accomplish by fighting with each other, under time constraints. The tricky part about all of this, though, is that the objectives randomly change throughout your progress, making it a bit more of a challenge. Once the objectives are completed, players are then rewarded with bonuses,on top of the points they have already earned for kills.
So far, it has enjoyed immense popularity from among the gamers, to the extent that they are campaigning for more maps to be added to it. Currently, there are only three maps in existence, and as the fans put it, it's definitely "not cutting it".
When this issue was raised in the Q&A with Seb Downie, however, a disappointing reply rang out: "Unlikely." That was a swift kill, too, might I add, as he did not even give any explanation as to why Guerrilla Games are not even opening themselves up to the consideration of bringing in more Operations maps via DLC. They must have their reasons, but it sure would be nice to hear about them too.
Anyway, since they're not very forthcoming yet about this matter, let's just move on to a better bit of news, still about everyone's well-loved FPS title.
Thanks to all your fantastic support that you exhibited upon the game's launch week, Killzone 3 not only bested Bulletstorm for the top spot in the UK charts, it's also now moved 500,000 units worldwide. And that's just for its first week out in the market.
According to Sony's statistics, half of these sales numbers were from the Americas, while the rest were from EMEAA. Of these 500,000 units, about 10% were of the bundles type. Based on this data, it looks like Killzone 3 is a PS3-mover after all.
It's no wonder if they'll be able through the one million mark even before the end of its first month. At the rate copies are flying off the shelves, they should be able to meet this feat in little time. What's more, we wouldn't be all too surprised if it beats Killzone 2's record in under a year. The second title of the franchise was released in 2009, and has since sold some 2.58 million units worldwide.
