Sony Computer Entertainment has officially announced Killzone 3 today. Our first glimpse of the title came out of the latest GamePro over the weekend, revealing hand-to-hand combat, jetpacks, and bigger everything.
A “war far from won”, Killzone 3 picks up where Killzone 2 left off, with Helghast dictator Visari dead at the hands of Sev and Rico and new political and social madness erupting as a result. A nuclear bomb set off in the Heglhan Capital Phyruss has decimated the ISA invasion force, leaving the player and company alone with no re-enforcements.
Killzone 3 promises levels “ten times bigger” than the previous game, promising new diversity whilst bringing players to toxic wastelands, alien jungles, arctic areas, and even space. Guerrilla says “every location features a distinct gameplay style for you to master.”
New features for the game includes “high definition, stereoscopic 3D”, jetpack troopers, “portable weapons of mass destruction”, and a lot more.
Killzone 3 has not been given a time frame. Check out the first screenshots at the gallery.
Come on Sony, save SOMETHING for E3. Maybe they’ll have some gameplay at the show.
I just hope they can put a little more expression into character model faces. Rico looks like he’s stoned on crack on that screenshot. Since they’re working with Naughty Dog maybe they’ll be able to help them squeeze a little more out of their engine to make the game look as good as it can.
