If there’s one property that defines gaming fanboyism for this generation, it’s Killzone.

The announcement of Killzone 3 this week drags us back five years. A target render of Killzone 2 was shown at E3 in 2005 as a showcase for the capabilities of the incoming PS3, sparking what will go down in history as one of gaming’s great first-party controversies.

In the aftermath, SCEA CEO Jack Tretton claimed the footage was gameplay before SCEE’s Phil Harrison set the record straight, but the opening shots had been irrecoverably fired in a war still raging.

Hermen Hulst, managing director of Killzone developer Guerilla Games, still stands in the centre of the storm.

It was with great pleasure that we met Hermen in Amsterdam earlier this month, talking to him after seeing the closed premiere of what will surely be a defining videogame for this hardware generation, and one of the most visible first-person shooters in the world when it releases next year.

We’ll cut a long story short. We went to Amsterdam in mid-May to interview Guerilla and play Killzone 3. We spoke to studio managing director Hermen Hulst and played the game in both 2D and 3D. The original embargo for coverage from the event was June 1, but thanks to leaks from the US press over the weekend (sincere, heartfelt thanks for that), the embargo was brought forward this afternoon. A lot. To today.

Co-op would have been great in Killzone 2. Bad luck, then, arrives in the form of Guerrilla MD Hermen Hulst telling Game Informer that it’s unlikely to be added via a download.

“We looked at all the different flavors of co-op early on, but decided our first priority would have to be the single-player experience and the multiplayer,” he said.

“Rather than just tack on co-op, it would have to be integrated and done to a similar standard as the single and multiplayer.

“Having looked at it again now, I do not think we would want to add it as DLC.”

And that’s that. Thanks, PSU.

Speaking to the BBC, Guerilla’s Hermen Hulst has shown Killzone 2 in its final stages of development and said the shooter’s simply all about the action.

“Killzone 2, to me, is essentially an incredible adrenaline rush,” he said, speaking at E3 last week. “It’s a very dense, intense,action-packed first-person shooter game.”

He added: “I think taking this game, this franchise to PlayStation 3 allows us to create the game we’ve always wanted. When I talk about ‘action-packed,’ I mean creating a full theatre of war.”
