Killzone 3 teaser trailer shows Sev in Helghast mask

Sony’s just released the debut teaser of Killzone 3 on the game’s official site.
You can get it below. It shows a fair bit of brutal melee, as well as Sev putting on a Helghast mask.
Looks mental. In a good way. E3 for the win now, obviously.
Killzone 3 releases next year for PlayStation 3.

i did not recognise sev the 1st time.

Can’t say I enjoyed the second one. Didn’t play the first. Will try it if they have a demo.

cool, didnt recognise sev at first either. We going undercover then? neat idea
plus anyone get a hint of gears of war there with the trailer music? Seems a similar style of tactic to me

Isn’t this slightly contradictory to the story of Killzone 3.
Unless I’m very much mistaken Killzone 3 is about the ISA trying to escape planet Helghan as they’ve all but lost the war.
Here we see Sev (???) on top of a pile of Helghast insinuating victory and triumph.
Something along the lines of Gears of War 3′s teaser would have been more suitable. There it’s clear to see that the Cogs are outnumbered and on their last stand.

@11, I agree about the second. Although I did play the first and enjoyed it for 1 play thru but didnt’ like the mulitplayer. KZ2 just wasn’t fun. I found the guns to be the worst in any shooter I’ve ever played and the story.. well.. woop d doo

@15 I think guns what made it amazing. You felt like you have a gun and you feel the weight of it. I thought that was pretty cool…
Multiplayer was nice… Other then that, it’s a bit shitty.

this looks really cool…..my guess is undercover since wasn’t something said before about how we’d get to see the helghast view of things?

As far as the single player campaign is concerned, KZ2 is probably the best FPS on console so far.
Multiplayer introduced multiple classes each with its own peculiarity, and even though a little higher pace would have been appreciated, it wasn’t half bad.
Day one for me.

Nah I played 2 and was disappointed with the sp game.
Nothing wrong with it but after reading all the hype I thought it was going to be something special.
Turned out to be an average fps as far as I was concerned.
Not going to buy into the hype for this one I will take a wait and see approach.

SP was definitely average at best. I did enjoy the boss battles, though. I would love to see a infusion of Metal Slug into this series; Let me pilot the mech suit, jetpack, ATAC to fight against giant mechanical beasts shooting missles and lasers, maybe pick up a heavy machine gun attachment mid battle from a half human/helghan ISA spy, dispatched as support.
Just to break up the levels, that is. A few here and there to change things up.

Boss battles weren’t bad if a little easy bar the last one.
I had a good few goes before I finished that one lol.
I hope they can do an uncharted 2 with it and build on all the good bits.

That why I never count a sequel out. Most times, you get piss poor marginal upgrades to decent games, spending your money on nothing more than map packs. But sometimes, a developer cares more about pleasing their consumers and maintaining consistency of quality and integrity. I’m always hopeful that ‘this game’ from ‘this developer’ are cut from the mold of the latter.

In the trailer Sev grabs the Helghast as he attacks.
Counter-kills??

I’m guessing that when a Helgan attacks you it starts a little QTE where you can block/counter it. Apparently all of the animations in that teaser are also in the game.

Hot dam. I think it’ll be good fun. I really enjoyed number 2. Not really a huge FPS fan but it was solid and believable. Some sterling graphics and set pieces. Some won’t like
it. Some will. Isn’t it brilliant we’re all individuals, with individual tastes. We all buy and consume different things. Isn’t that great. I will probably enjoy it. Some probably won’t. I love that

Now THAT is one helluva fantastic teaser trailer.
The music, the lighting, the particle effects, the slo-mo, the beards…lol, I found myself saying “whoa….did he just rip his head off?”
Bad ass man. I don’t care what you think of Killzone 2, that trailer was aweosme and I’m officially pumped for KZ3 now. Bravo devs.

Apparently the animations you see are taken from ingame.
