Rumour – Killzone 3 due in April 2011

WTF Johnny, ok the gears3 rumor is not real now and so is this. Whats up with your love for April…..other than my birthday is that month

Is everything coming out in April?

And Sony are absolutely saving that for ‘the holiday period’

Wait a minute?! Somebody at sony is doing rumour pr or something to match the gears 3 date, something strange is afoot -_-

Then again do you think sony is aware of gears 3 coming out in april before the public (if it were true)?

NOTE: “Sit tight, then. Guess we will hear something on it very soon.”

you also said we would hear bout KZ3 at GDC which proved ultimately disappointing without said news.

Rumors, rumors, rumors.

IF this is true, it will be like a holy war of 2011 between sony and microsoft.

Unfortunately… gears would probably win.

(Just an opinion FYI, KZ2 > GOW2 IMO)

You do know that Sony’s first party titles alone will destroy anything M$ has to offer in 2011 right Bikki.

Uncharted 3 anyone?

“Gears of War 3? Phft. The real meat is Killzone 3″
Bullshit, Gears of War 3 is the real deal. Killzone is not that succesfull, for example if you take a look at the sales of both games.

Gears of War > Killzone.

Wow, bunch of PS3 fanboys in the comments…

I see what Johnny did here

Killzone 2 is a good game and they have great multiplayer. But singleplayer was kinda sucky if you ask me. 6 hours of stupid shooting is not a big deal. They tried to make a game with that prerendered trailer and it looked not like that trailer at all.

Game Engine was piece of crap or even worse then horse shit. I hope they will improve it or just made a new one. Its actually a mess with lightning. They used 60% of Cell Processor cores with that engine and for 60% its not that impressive if you look for example to the ID latest engine.

I want from Killzone 3 big areas, vehicles, destruction that is better then Battlefield: Bad Company 2, for god sake better singleplayer, better controls, MOVE and 3D Support and more enemies.

If they will make this + great graphics and multiplayer then GOTY for 100%

Halo 4′s out the same month, too. And Gran Turismo 6. No, wait… 5.

AHAHAHHA to right blerk… too fucking right!

@10
I had to login for my first post for this one…sigh

So let me get this straight…Killzone2′s single player sucked because its only “stupid shooting for 6 hours”. And Gears1, Gears2, MW2, Halo1/2/3/ODST, and Left 4 Dead 1/2 were all great games because the had complicated puzzle solving along side spectacular platforming quests? Jeez…

The game Engine was “Horse shit”? Im guesssing here that the single player campaign was too hard for you to play on normal and i would probably correct in saying that you got owned in online multiplayer. AI that new you existed and took cover from you while being able to team up and flank you if you werent carefull is a horse shit game engine? Guerilla took a step in the right direction in trying to make a realisting physics engine and succeeded. Killzone is by fart the most realistic shooter, in terms of physics, out there. And then you go and bag on the graphics??? Seriously…There still has not been a FPS that has come close to what Killzone has achieved. And where did you get some odd-ball number of 60%? Did you design the game?

Anyways….
Killzone 3 > Gears of War 3

I know Killzone 3 will be superior in gameplay mechanics, physics, enemy AI, and graphics.

I know Gears of War 3 will have a better story but i also know it will be the same exact game as Gears2 in gameplay mechanics physics, enemy AI, and graphics (which Gears2 wasnt all that impressive on the wide market but was impressive for the 360)

Welcome spiderLAW! All your points are great!

We’re getting more people Garratt

You were doing great there spiderLAW, until you made the fanboyish decision that one game would be deliberately more superior to the other.

They’re both great, and they’ll both do well.

I didnt mean to sound fanboyish. Sorry. I just think that if they did come out in the same time frame and I could only afford one, I would probably end up choosing Killzone 3 over Gears3. I will eventually get Gears3 but I would definitely pass it up for Killzone3…that is if they dont mess up and make a suck-ass game.
Just my opinion.

I intend to pass on both, simply because I’ve played enough FPS games to last me a life-time.

It would be hard to make a suck-ass game out of either of these franchises though. They are both great franchises.

I know what you mean about the FPS genre. Ive been playing FPS since Wolfenstein 3D whein i was a tot learning how to program for DOS (to then only find out it would be destroyed by Windows). I still cant get enough of games though.

“It would be hard to make a suck-ass game out of either of these franchises though. They are both great franchises.”

I hope you are right. Ive seen great franchises go sour before. So many infact that my mind chooses to forget them completely.

Fleetwood Mac.

That usually only happens when a franchise goes into limbo for a long time then ends up being developed by a company either out of touch with newer design ideas and the technology, or gets handed over to someone else.

I wouldn’t worry in either of these cases.

Chuckie Egg 2 is coming out in April aswell

In my case it’s not that i’m so tired of FPS as whole , but the amount of team squad based fps we had since CS and DoD’s massive success is mindnumbing …

Where have gone the pure and straightforward multiplayer shooters , like quake , unreal tournament etc ?

Where have gone the the shooter with actual acrobatic and aiming skills , rather than “skills/perks , squads and class based shooters ?

Once upon a time a deathmatch or teambased mode could be a sight to behold , like someone straferunning , strafejumping, then quickly circle strafe around his foe , rocket jumps , grenade jumps , bunny hop etc etc …

Now instead in the same boring folks , rushing in with a shotgun , or camping with rifles/snipes , worse sometimes with auto or aim assist .

It’s not a dig at more realistic and squad based shooters per se , i actually love a few of them .
But there used to be a variety in the genre that almost no longer exist .

So far among the alternatives , there is what ? Halo , gears of war , uncharted … hl2 mods and the worst unreal tournament so far ? that’s not enough

@13 what a fanboy, i don’t even own a 360 and can admit about games that have a lot of flaw no matter what platform or system.

I know for sure that Gears Of War 2 (when i played at brothers place) has much better singleplayer experience then Killzone 2. Not sure about multiplayer.

Then you are saying that i’m a pussy and i suck at singleplayer. So you know, i finished it on normal and hard for some trophies and played a little bit of multiplayer and i’m not impressed in a bit and its not hard at all. I’m a hardcore PC gamer. For me console gaming is very simple.

Singleplayer is just boring for the games like Left for Dead 2 and Gears Of War 2. Killzone 2 have the singleplayer of the 1-st Gears Of War.

I can explain why Gears Of War 2 singleplayer is better. Starts from epic moments and that you can ride on Brumak. Killzone 2 singleplayer – you just shoot and kill two stupid bosses. Mael Radec (last boss) from the boss standpoint was a very bad design. Story is bad. From start to finish i just listened to poor dialogs like: Oh shit man, we are going to get killed! Arrrghh! Attack!!111

Graphics for a console are great but not that impressive. They made absolutely strange engine that uses neon palete. Nothing special and i was not impressed by AI.

Graphics, story, good singleplayer experience and good AI that can flnk you is in the Uncharted 2.

Lets be perfectly fair: K2 is an absolutely vanilla (still decent) FPS thats only saving grace is its few interesting weapons (Boltgun, Speargun?); I don’t dabble in (non co-op) MP. However, I do hear that Gear’s MP is kinda borked, so both games need work.

GG probably has the tougher work ahead, though: It has to be easier to create a better netcode than it is to create an exciting campaign in a world of shooters with great SPs.

Why is it that anytime somebody disagrees with another’s comment it boils down to it being fanboyism? What is a f-ing fanboy anyways?
If calling somebody a fanboy is your only form of riposte, you should stay out of the debate.
If a fanboy means “An extreme fan of all video games”, then paint me a fanboy.

At least you got one point right, Uncharted2 is an amazing accomplishment.
Still no reason for discrediting Killzone2.
