Rumor: Killzone 3 Due This Christmas?

Sources close to Sony have mooted Killzone 3 for a Christmas release.

Dark3605924d ago

Go Sony Release KRAPZONE 3 This Christmas Head To Head With The Almighty HALO REACH...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sales Prediction:

KRAPZONE 3 Day One = 100,000 Copies (LAME) HAHAHAHAHAHA...

HALO REACH Day One = 4 Or 5 Million (Everybody Hail The KING Of FPS)

...Sorry DROIDS Better Luck Next Time...LOL

trancefreak5924d ago

^^^^I can imagine you sitting on a street corner with a flattned card board box saying pls help: My mummy bot me a 360 and I really wanted a ps3. boooo hooo.^^^

Its a shame because im really excited about reach and @ the prospect of having kz3 releasing sometime here soon. I love fps thats my thing so I wont miss out on any of the greats.

But I still have this love hate relationship with the 360. Been burned 4 times with it. thankfully my jasper kicks ass.

Also great devs need to be supported when they give a game their heart and soul much like uncharted 2 ( Naughty dog ). Winning so many awards i would hate to be the mantenance guy hanging all those awards @ naughty dog hq. I bet they built a whole new showroom for their acheivments.

people in the comments on that page are posting major spoilers on Heavy Rain. i unfortunately just found out who the origami killer is :s

-Alpha5924d ago

Whether it's true or not, this is an unreliable source.

To Heavy Rain gamers who don't want to spoil the game:

Don't read past the article itself, the comment section has a user spoiling the game.

deadreckoning6665924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

Releasing it this early is crazy. I'd rather GG take their time and make sure the game blows every other FPS away. Bad Company 2 will keep me MORE than busy until next February. And why the heck would Sony release KZ3 at the same time that Resistance 3 will supposedly come out?

Edit: And competing with COD7 as well? Thats just not smart.

Saaking5924d ago

ND crafted the masterpiece that is UC2 in just 18 months. If GG decides to release KZ2 by the end of 2010, I'm fully confident they will deliver. I really want to know what happens next.

DarkTower8055924d ago

Well, if it is planned for a Christmas time release I'd expect to see an announcement at E3 to get the hype rolling.

BattleAxe5924d ago

By next christmas it will have been almost 2 years since KZ 2 was realeased, I'm sure thats more than enough time.

sikbeta5924d ago

Bring It ON, I'm SO READY, KZ3 Will be EPIC, YES!... even if it not sell like teh CODZ

Gamers FTW!!!

*grabs crotch and squeals in girlish excitement*

I don't mind K3 coming this year. They have the engine down, which leaves time to work on MP and story. I want co-op, more modes, and more awesomeness.

karl5924d ago

wish i had read your warning first..

hope it isnt true... hate that bastard with all my guts...

captain-obvious5924d ago

naah
i think K3 well be here first thing next year

L-Teezy5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

i wish i ran across your comment b4 i actually went there. i just unfortunately found out who the origami killer is from some dumb b!tches in the comment section ..

edit: and why do u have 6 disagrees alpha-male? they do have some jackass ruining the game in the comments

BrianC62345924d ago

"Releasing it this early is crazy. I'd rather GG take their time and make sure the game blows every other FPS away."

It's really not that soon. If it comes out at the end of 2010 that would be almost 1.5 years after Killzone 2. Killzone 3 won't need as much work as 2 needed. They already have the engine and the tools they need. That's what takes a lot of time.

coolfool5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

Resistance 3 will be out for this Christmas so this game will be pushed out to early next year so as not to compete.......wait.....haven't we seen this before somewhere?

Dipso5924d ago

Thanks for the warning but it came too late for me. That's my morning ruined and quite possibly Heavy Rain ruined too. Little bastards, and of course they had to be from this site.

Why they have the engine and for improvements

UnSelf5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

i jus dont want this beautiful franchise to suffer the COD syndrome

Resistance 3 yes, but not Killzone 3

shutupandplay5924d ago

Too many games too soon = BAD. COD has become a whore of a franchise, let`s keep killzone a game that`s truly desired.

TooTall195924d ago

That's plenty of time to develop a game.

Delt45924d ago

I don't think they would this early but i wouldn't complain if they did release this year. I have high hopes for KZ3

Chubear5924d ago

...nearly 2 years after KZ2 came out is "too soon"?

cmrbe5924d ago

did U2 in 18 months on top of creating a freaking addictive multiplayer.

The Lazy One5924d ago

yes. 2 years after KZ2 is too soon. It would be a horrible time to release your title if you wanted decent sales. Way too many competing products.

And I'd also hope they took a good amount of time to make the product the best it could be instead of the best it could be under the circumstances.

TooTall195924d ago

Yeah sales for good games tend to be low when they release during the holidays. Borderlands floped hard because it was released near the holiday and around huge games like Uncharted 2 and AC2. Since there is a major fps on a different console it would be foolish to try and compete with it. You know what they say- you cant be the best unless you always run away from your rival. /S

Ju5924d ago

"Way too many competing products" Why's that ? They all have to compete against KZ3 if true. Or are you suggesting KZ3 will have troubles competing against the best ?

The Lazy One5924d ago

It doesn't matter if they have to compete with KZ3 too. Everyone's sales will suffer from more competition.

KZ3 could very well sell decently released this christmas. It would sell many times better if they waited most likely. It would be competing for money with GT5 as well as a bunch of good 3rd party games coming this holiday. It would probably help on a PS3 vs 360 front, but it would hurt on a potential sales if released later vs sales if released early.

If I were Sony I'd use KZ3 to start the holiday season next year. Announcing it now will get other companies to move their launches away from KZ3 to avoid competition, and it would start a big hype train going into the holiday, as well as have a decent amount of time to build up the KZ3 hype train itself. It would also be a better product with the added development time.

TooTall195923d ago

I think if Sony doesn't release an exclusive fps this holiday they are making a huge mistake. Releasing both GT5 and KZ3 would generate a ton of buzz and could convince buyers to purchase a ps3. Plus they are different genres.

tiamat55924d ago

If this is true then: First of all I already know what I want for Christmas. Second, it gives them 8 to 9 months to finish, fine tune and polish it before it releases and finally it would end the year with a bang for us PS3 owners.Sony you are really spoiling us this year.

Dev8 ing5924d ago

Killzone 2 was my favorite game of 2009. It was easily the best shooter and imho the best looking game on any console. I put in hundreds of hours in the multiplayer. A third installment would be a must have (at the very least for value considerations, but probably for other things too).

ps3hasonlyflopgames5924d ago

lol this game release in the same time of halo reach?

**facepalm**

trancefreak5924d ago

It really doesnt matter and Ill tell you why. Do you think ps3 only fans that love killzone will run out and buy reach for their ps3??? The answer is no of course so both games will do well.

If you are a dual console owner or tri owner im sure the $$$$ is not a problem buying any exclusive you want being reach or kz3.

And im sure this halo will be a huge success but their is a chance that some of the hardcore players will think this is halo will be like their first experience from halo 1 and eat it up. We all know bungie is trying to recapture that magic of the original so it could be one of the 360 biggest exclusives ever. we'll have to wait and see but the hype train and dteails are really getting rollin.

I personally like killzone better than halo but im going to get both and I will decide which controller to play longer when these games are released.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic534d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23534d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger525d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1101d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1101d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1100d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491100d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381101d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1101d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1101d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381100d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1100d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761100d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301101d ago (Edited 1101d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1100d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1101d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1101d ago (Edited 1101d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1100d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1100d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1851d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1851d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1851d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1851d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1851d ago
Vegamyster1851d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1851d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1851d ago (Edited 1851d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

MadLad1851d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1851d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip
