Killzone 3: Extra Scene After the Credits Sparks Debate Over Possible Killzone 4 Plot

**Spoiler Warning: The following article contains massive spoilers regarding the plots of Killzone 2 and 3.**

There is an extra scene showing Helghast troops using a scouter and finding a ship amongst the wreckage and green petrusite mist created from the final battle in the game. The door of the ship opens and the scene ends with the Helghast troops saying "Welcome Home, Sir." Which leaves the question... Who is it that emerges from the ship that they are referring to as Sir? Currently there are two solid theories as to who it could be, check out video and full details...

I hated this ending. The ending was so blah compared to K2, and it just happened out of nowhere. They tried something "big" with the whole galactic battle, but compared to fighting Radec in a very intense battle, this comes off very bland. Radec was so hard, epic, and I loved the personal encounter with him. The space battle didn't feel right to end the game. I was really hoping for some epic boss fight, Stahl is a coward compared to Radec.

Also, *SPOILERS* it may be Stahl judging by the shadow cast on the Helghan in the last scene. Or maybe the double theory is correct. Nitrowolf made an observation-- there are picture frames of the Helghast leaders and one of them is some new character, so perhaps they will introduce somebody else. We never saw Stahl die, so I'm assuming it is him

I got somewhat lost in the plot, but they nuked Helghan, right?

I hope they give us a better perspective on the Helghast, I really want to play as them. The beginning of K3's story is such a tease in this regard.

HOTA9X5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

I think its Visari, because he has green eyes not brown!!!

JoeGrizzly5557d ago

there was a problem with his eyes changing colors in the first game too

alphakennybody5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

SPOILERRRRR!!!!sthal definitely died in that explosion, it's probably visari. He's too important to be dead, he might have been resurrected with the experiments they've been doing in stahl's lab. in the inflitrating lab mission they were, doing other human experiments(No it wasn't for weapons because they were already in use)

theonlylolking5558d ago

The ISA took visari's body(so it seems). If visari is alive and it is him then the ISA took the double's body and not visari.

mephman5558d ago

I think Stahl would be the obvious choice, purely because it looked like some kind of escape pod.

Hopefully they don't go for obvious though.

beavis4play5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

alhpa - they nuked stahls ship. it was close to helghan and the explosion seemed to have a reaction with the planet.......what it's done isn't known yet.

i thought the survivor HAD to be stahl. the articles second theory blows my mind! it could very well be visari. it would explain why there were no guards directly with visari at the end of KZ2. it would explain why his daughter recoils in disgust at the sight of her "father" in the opening of KZ3.

dang it - i WANT some answers....i WANT KZ4.

trounbyfire5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

there were dead unarmed helgast in the hallway leading to visari chamber. they were shot in the back because they were facing visari chamber. they were killed before sev and rico got to the radec fight.

it could be the helgast that retreated but when radec is told the palace has been breach he say why hasn't the second platoon... < i think the second retreated so that leaves the dead helgast in the hallway unknown.

now why are they dead, why are there gas containers next to them, why is visari still there if they are burning down the palace.

something happened in the palace before it was stormed by the isa, dead helgast and them burning it down.
read my first comment above. it might help.

sobekflakmonkey5558d ago

The planet went ape shit not because it was nuked, but because that giant fuckn space station connected to the planet fell down on it and ended up causing a huge chain reaction, they dropped that bomb on stahls ship, and that caused the tower to fall.

Kingdom Come5558d ago

Judging by the shadow, you're right, it shows strong resemblances to Stahl. However I think with the scene being engulfed in mystery and the clues found in Killzone 2, it would make sense for it to be Visari... that and Brian Cox is an absolutely legendary voice actor.

dragonyght5558d ago

its Stahl looks like he got away in a escape pod

-Alpha5558d ago

Good point about Visari's daughter.

I guess we'll find out in K4

beavis4play5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

when first saw that - it kept bouncing through my head the whole game - i couldn't figure out why his daughter would have that reaction to him - and then i read this theory that it wasn't really visari......my mind is BLOWN!

trancefreak5558d ago

Alpha I think they nuked the city to kill the Isa forces and also to open the ground up for the green substance matter.

The story is weird in some parts because it feels like crucial elements are rushed in the cut scenes and you have to pay close attention to them.

Kinda wish is was pieced together like uncharted 2 was.
I understand the story but I think it could be deeper I mean it really could. I wouldn't of minded if guerrilla Sony waited longer to release a more story driven game. It needed more cohesiveness.

I dont think stahl died either. i watched the credits and it appeared stahl was being rescued.

sobekflakmonkey5558d ago

@Alpha-Male22 I dont know why you got so many disagrees, that story fell flat, and it just kinda ended...like honestly, it was the most anti-climactic ending in gaming history...and if people disagree with that they are THE BIGGEST sony fanboys in the world, i mean im a sony fanboy to an extent, but if you can actually say that end to killzone 3 was good you have issues.

BattleAxe5558d ago (Edited 5558d ago )

I can't figure it out. Obviously its someone important and someone that we know. I got to thinking that Sadam Hussein had "look alikes" or "doubles" that would be used to confuse forces that were trying to assassinate him. Maybe the person that Rico killed in KZ2 wasn't really Visari.

-Alpha5558d ago

I'd hate to think someone like Visari was killed by an asshat like Rico.

trancefreak5558d ago

Ya and why the hell is rico still your sidekick.

He gets in the way still gets him self wounded and I get sick of reviving him once again.

Kingdom Come5558d ago

Visari. His eye colour in the Intro is different from that in the final scene and also iduring the Palace attack the Helghast suggest, "The ISA are here, we have to go.". However, Stahl would surely have known the executed Visari was a double...

I'm not even that much of a fan of Killzone yet I think its obvious, and for the mystery to have an impact, for the mysterious survivor to be a character to be one of whom had only been inroduced in the same game (Stahl) would be pointless.

I do like after credit sequences especially those that leave the audience guessing, my favourite being the Gears of War 2 After credit Adam Fenix voice recording (Although that obvious with me being a Gears obsessive)

Maybe more will be discovered in the NGP title...?

MerkinMax5558d ago

Except they make me lose sleep because I always over analyze them.

Kingdom Come5558d ago

Yeah but they just allow you to come to us your imagination and investigate further in to the game looking for the slightest clues.

ImSoHeavy5558d ago

Exactly, the devs probably didn't even think of the second theory but could use it with enough people saying they like it.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic536d 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.

Storm23536d 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.

lockedongamer1536d ago (Edited 536d 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!

Chocoburger527d 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.

1Victor1102d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1102d ago

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

jznrpg1102d ago

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

badz1491102d 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!

Vengeance11381102d 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 Kim1102d ago

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

VersusDMC1102d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

thesoftware7301102d ago (Edited 1102d 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.

blacktiger1102d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1102d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d 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

MadLad1853d 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.

Applejack1853d 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_B1853d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1853d 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.

1853d ago
Vegamyster1853d 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.

SinkingSage1853d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1853d ago (Edited 1853d 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.

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

MadLad1853d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1853d 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.

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
