Killzone 3 Eurogamer Interview

With Killzone 3 revealed (somewhat prematurely) this week, announcements, details and our old friends rumour and speculation have been flying around like nobody's business - but the gushings of journalists can only ever reveal so much.

So while we were at the announcement event in Amsterdam, we took the chance to have a chat to senior producer Steven Ter Heide for some cold, hard facts, an insight into the creative process, and to see if he's been listening to the fans.

I played more than 45 hours in Killzone2 single player (12 hours first playthrough) it was my first FPS on consoles(I was FPS pro on PC) ... and it was the most fun FPS single player Iv ever had..

the killing and the AI was awesome (death animation , bullet impact , cover system.. everything) it was FUN to KILL..

and NOW they said Killzone3 will have a LONGER single player.. YEAH!!!

madkrazygames5837d ago

I clocked in 15 hours on hard mode, how the hell did you clocked in 45 hours in single player?

Welcome5837d ago

Here's an idea...he played Single player for 45 Hours.

rockleex5837d ago (Edited 5837d ago )

If you read the part where they talk about Killzone 3's story, it sounds like they're going with a more Uncharted 2 approach to the story development and how dialogue is used to move the story as you play.

Character development seems to play a bigger role this time around too, seeing as how you didn't really get to connect with any of the characters in Killzone 2.

It seemed like you were just going from mission to mission without really noticing who you were and the importance of the people around you.

All that will be gone! >:D

Cartesian3D5837d ago (Edited 5837d ago )

you can play more than once in single player mode... I dont get it /jk

because it was fun ,(you can choose any mission after finishing that mission) i played many missions more than 10 times.. specially the last one was like a REAL WAR ..

just go to the information section it will tell you how many hours you spend in single player mode(exactly the first number) , I killed more than 2000 helghast I think .. last month was the last time i played Single player.

nycredude5837d ago

More than likely he played it multiple times. I clocked in 15 hours also and I remember reviewers trying to say it was like 8 hours. LOL

madkrazygames5837d ago

Nowadays alot of reviewers can't be trusted. Gametrailers stated that Alan Wake is a 6 hour game, but I clocked in 16 hours.

mal_tez925837d ago

Longer single player, no loading screens, more solid framerate, levels TEN TIMES the size and better story. I will play this for ages.

I played the single player of KZ2 about 10 times, and spent endless hours in the multiplayer. I do agree it is the best FPS ever.

MNicholas5837d ago

How they did it without a noticeable drop in resolution would be interesting to find out.

OpenGL5837d ago

My guess is that when running in 3D, anti-aliasing is dropped to maintain 720p.

MNicholas5837d ago

Because jaggies are much more disturbing in 3D and those who played it didn't mention it as a problem.

A greater concern would simply be simply rendering two frames in the same amount of time as they used to render one.

The first and most obvious roadblock would be shader limitations. I'd be very surprised if they hadn't already maxed out the RSX in KZ2.

There must be something they're doing with the Cell to help the RSX output two frames without a noticeable loss in detail. In fact, they seem to have increased the level of detail.

This all doesn't make much sense.

Then again, God of War 3 doesn't make much sense either. Yet it's available on retail shelves.

MNicholas5836d ago (Edited 5836d ago )

Gamespot did mention increased, or at least more noticeable, aliasing. However, this is not a limitation of processing power as much as it is of bandwidth/memory.

The rendering of twice as many frames per second as KZ2 without any noticeable loss of detail remains a miracle of coding that remains unexplained.

unrealgamer585837d ago

lol you've never played a game over and over?

To this day I still play R:fom

nveenio5837d ago

Agreed. I still play Uncharted 2...and Killzone 2...and inFamous...

claterz5837d ago

Played through UC2 4 times on crushing. yep, it's that good!

trounbyfire5837d ago (Edited 5837d ago )

naughty dog, sony santa monica and i hope they win. GG is one of the top developers and my fav developers period. people forget that they did cool thing with scale all so. PLAY wasteland bullet and look up, it a huge map scale wize. I love that they want to be number 1.
lets be honest KZ2 had way more going on in it then UC2, and UC2 skin was not as good as KZ2. animations go to UC2 but KZ2 are great to. VO i say UC2 but Visari and sev are beasts

fOrlOnhOpe575837d ago

and Im sure there is a monster of a game looming over the horizon. Keyword from Guerrilla seems to be IMMERSION.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic540d 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.

Storm23540d 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.

lockedongamer1540d ago (Edited 540d 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!

Chocoburger531d 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.

1Victor1107d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1107d ago

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

jznrpg1106d ago

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

badz1491106d 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!

Vengeance11381107d 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 Kim1107d ago

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

VersusDMC1107d 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?

Vengeance11381107d ago

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

solideagle1106d 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.

Phoenix761106d 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

REDGUM1106d ago

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

thesoftware7301107d ago (Edited 1107d 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.

blacktiger1106d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1107d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1107d ago (Edited 1107d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1106d ago

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

Imalwaysright1106d 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

MadLad1857d 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.

Applejack1857d 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_B1857d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1857d 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.

1857d ago
Vegamyster1857d 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.

SinkingSage1857d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1857d ago (Edited 1857d 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 Kim1857d ago

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

MadLad1857d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1857d 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

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1857d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1857d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1857d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
