As we are waiting for the launch of the highly anticipated Game Killzone 3 around a week before till the release date – February 22 in the US and three days later in the UK, SmoquGaming has got their hands on the game and shared some great footage seen for the first time. Beware If you don’t mind spoilers enjoy the HD videos otherwise please avoid.
After playing the single player demo and reading some of the latest reviews, it seems Guerrilla Games latest shooter may have been unfairly nit-picked to the point of ridiculousness by some of the more popular gaming networks. Here is what game-insider had to say:
From the gameplay of this demo it is truly hard to believe any respectable gaming journalist would actually undercut this experience with negative propaganda based on some self righteous quest to be different. These reviews might be going beyond the point of an opinion. They can appear to become over-exaggerated banter with no respect for the herculean development efforts put forth by Guerrilla Games.
From complaints that the cut-scenes go black causing too much delay between the action, the dialogue being considered flat and boring with no real need to listen, to being called a ‘miserable experience’, and not offering anything new to the genre which I must add is a complete double-standard, this demo begs to differ in a big way. In fact this demo which more than likely doesn’t scratch the surface of the full experience makes an embarrassing mess of the holes found in some the latest reviews.
Nevertheless, this is only a demo.
To our gaming journalist brother and sisters who tirelessly and HONESTLY place the interest and concerns of gamers before their very own, I salute you.
Sony’s awesome, yet not actually real, Vice President of, well, anything Sony PlayStation related has today made a mistake that is sure to not be forgotten for the months or even years to come.
Travis La Marr, or “@exiva“, sent a tweet over to Kevin Butler’s Twitter account which contained the PlayStation 3 METLDR root key and more-or-less challenged the VP of everything to “Come at me.” Apparently, Kevin Butler hasn’t heard the news recently as he confused it for a Battleship reference and retweeted the code for everyone to see.
The tweet has since been removed, but Engadget was able to snap a screenshot of the tweet, found above.
Not included in the Killzone 3 closed beta which run a few months ago, the PlayStation Move motion controller will be supported in the announced Killzone 3 open beta, which will run between the 2nd/3rd and the 14th/15th of February (dates refer to US/EU schedules).
Everyone will be able to participate by downloading the beta client from the PlayStation Store when the time comes. This is not a PlayStation Plus exclusive.
The beta will feature the snowy “Frozen Dam” map and give access to 3 multiplayer modes (Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations), along with the offline Botzone mode, which pits you against AI opponents.
And yes, 3D and Move Supported controls will be available too.
[UPDATE] Sony has also released a brand new multiplayer video set in a never before seen map called “Bilgarsk Boulevard”. Check it out below.
One more multiplayer video, this time featuring the never before seen “Kaznan Junge”. Looks amazing.
