We just had this same rumor, only it was about Gears 3 instead of Killzone 3. What's going on with all these rumors, lately?

TheHater5906d ago

yeah, they are just basing this on the Gears 3 April rumor.

-Alpha5906d ago

Appealing to 1Up doesn't justify it.

I want Killzone 3 by the end of the year. April 2011 is sooo far away.

I've put over a 100 hours into K2's multiplayer and though I had issues with it, I enjoyed the game a lot.

I really hope GG puts in a goddamn party system this time. The clan system was amazing but full of cheaters and GG did a poor job of trying to punish cheaters with K2.

I loved the replay mode they had on their site but for the love of God put it into K3 and make it fully featured like Halo 3's.

Add co-op, keep the same great MP with some improvements and additions, tell the story from the Helghast's Point of view and you have yourself a recipe for hot anticipation.

Cold 20005906d ago

Dont tell me they are going to try to go head to head with the BEAST...

It simply isnt necessary especially since MS are going to make sure Gears is the only game you hear talk about in April.

Fishy Fingers5906d ago (Edited 5906d ago )

According to Epic Gears isnt releasing in April 2011.

Edit: for the ill-informed disagree http://www.vg247.com/2010/0... You know if you disagree with me Epic might change their mind, just for you :)

cereal_killa5906d ago

Fishy you know these fanboys don't read anything except for the title Mark Rein already said Gears 3 is not coming on that date.

http://www.vg247.com/2010/0...

"Epic’s Mark Rein has gotten back to VG247 following today’s Gears of War 3 rumour. What did he say?

Simply put: “You’re kidding, right?”

It was reported this afternoon by Edge that the sequel will be coming on April 8, 2011, with a teaser trailer that would build up the hype in the next three weeks on the same date the game was supposedly due a year later.

But you may consider that rumor shat and pissed on, and then buried out back.

himdeel5906d ago (Edited 5906d ago )

...on all his points and I too want K3 this year. A October or December release date would be grand. The engine is done tweaks can be made to improve everything visually. The Killzone franchise has a lot of back story or continuation from K2 that can be explored.

bjornbear5905d ago

@ cold

what beast? what are you on about? =P this game destroys gears in every category except sales and some review scores...

and as a gamer, when playing a game, the last thing i care about are sales and review scores =D (although they are fun to yap about in comments sections)

so...beast? no beast =)

ChozenWoan5905d ago

With Socom4 coming out this fall, KZ3 will likely come next March. Sony most likely doesn't want to release too many shooters back to back like they did with Soccom:C, R2, and K2 so they are going to pace them out some.

It's interesting how Sony has turned March into a second holiday season for games. Between KZ2 last year and GoW3 this year, I'm liking the way they are starting to spread out the major releases. Now if we could just get some AAA games for the June-July season then we'd be really cooking. It's a shame how few games are released near E3 when E3 is one of the biggest gaming events of the year.

morganfell5905d ago

By this fall they will have had two years for most of the team to work on Killzone 2. It was finished in the fall but was held back so as not to conflict with Resistance 2. A small part of GG worked on polish until release. The rest of the team wasn't just sitting on their ass.

Great engine improvements and engineering for coop have had plenty of time along with SP/MP. It is definitely a doable time frame.

-Alpha5905d ago

Yeah, the engine was what delayed K2 constantly.

I really think that if they release it this year full of features and content like Halo 3 (minus the split screen because it's impossible to do apparently), we could have an awesomely packaged game. Not trying to make a comparison war, but Halo 3 didn't really have a new engine but that allowed Bungie to fill the game with an incredible amount of gameplay variety.

If Killzone 3 comes out next year then it has to come with a ridiculous amount of content. If it comes out this year I would love that they work on the co-op, story, etc.

I am assuming that though they are done with the engine the year can be used to offer an incredible amount of content.

bruddahmanmatt5905d ago

I doubt KZ3 gets released in 2010. Sony delayed the launch of KZ2 in hope that it wouldn't compete directly with Resistance 2 back in 2008/2009. With SOCOM 4 dropping in the fall and Resistance 3 likely dropping in late October/early November, I see KZ3 getting a Q1 2011 release at the earliest.

sonarus5905d ago

Whenever they decide to release KZ3 they better not fail like they did with KZ2. By fail i mean no online coop. That game seemed built for coop and they decided to omit it. If that game had coop would have enjoyed it a lot more.

KZ3 no coop = no buy

Some people simply have no shame.

LOL Gears of War 3 got the droids scare.

gtamike1235905d ago

Wrong way round mate, no 360 came close to killzone 2 graphics and killzone 3 will look even better. (in other words game over Xbots)

Gears of War is just unreal 3 in 3rd person anyway.

CryWolf5905d ago

Wrong Gears 3 still using the same crappy graphics from gears of war and gears 2, Hell Uncharted still looks better then any of the bots games, so you fail.

Michael-Jackson5905d ago (Edited 5905d ago )

LOL

and

PS3 improves graphics each and every year

360 is stuck in 2006 LMAO

bots make claims of a but fail...bu.bu metro looks beta, Dante inferno is beta...lololololol, next is that Brink Game...YOU ARE LOOKING @ PC images...just like metro!

ps3 delivers

But I will admit that Crysis 2 MAY be the next best looking game but we haven't seen HD console footage to judge it properly...

Killzone 3 will probably surpass it anyway.

TROLL EATER5905d ago

ahahah gears 2 roasted resistance 2 alive. now killzone 3 will be incinerated

KonohagakureFC5905d ago

but April seems kinda too soon, bet they saving KZ3 for a big E3 announcement and maybe itll release by november or something

TOO PAWNED5905d ago

lol kid April nextt year 2011, learn to read

Basil-Rathboner5905d ago

Off topic but here is a wee gift for ps3 movie watching fans with a broadband connection.

4 -- .com
2 -- media
3 -- tv
1 -- www.free

Place this address in the numbered order -- Not named for legal reasons.

Click on the movie -- Survival of the dead
Now scroll down past the boxes where it says application not supported.
Click option number 9 which is meta divx
Hit download
Now you will see file download -- Press triangle, then right save etc to ps3 hard drive.

Bingo you are now in possession of a perfect copy of George Romero's latest zombie film that is not released for well over a month.

I have not watched it yet so don't blame me if the movie is bad. From my early sneak peak to check quality the zombies fx looked a bit ropey but it looked quite gory.

Enjoy. Sorry for being off topic. PS3 it took 2hrs 12mins to download on my WIRED connection.

Halo3 MLG Pro5905d ago

Oh my. This has to be a joke. Sony isn't stupid enough to try to release Killzone 3 at the same time as Gears 3. Gears 3 would literally curb stomp KZ3.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic538d 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.

Storm23537d 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.

lockedongamer1537d ago (Edited 537d 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!

Chocoburger528d 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.

1Victor1104d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1104d ago

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

jznrpg1103d ago

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

badz1491103d 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!

Vengeance11381104d 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 Kim1104d ago

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

VersusDMC1104d 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?

Vengeance11381104d ago

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

solideagle1104d 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.

Phoenix761104d 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

thesoftware7301104d ago (Edited 1104d 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.

blacktiger1103d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1104d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1103d ago

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

Imalwaysright1103d 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

MadLad1855d 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.

Applejack1855d 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_B1854d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1854d 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.

1854d ago
Vegamyster1854d 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.

SinkingSage1854d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1854d ago (Edited 1854d 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.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1854d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1854d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1854d 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
