Killzone 3 Revealed,
Includes Jetpacks, Stereoscopic 3D


It's been heavily rumored
for a while (in fact, SCEA president Jack Tretton even promised it back
in March), and now it's official: Guerrilla Games is indeed making Killzone 3, and the latest issue of GamePro
is packed with tons of details on the latest installment in the FPS
franchise.
These details come by way of a poster on the GameSpot
UK forums, who pulled a number of juicy tidbits from GamePro's
preview. Evidently, Killzone 3 will add jetpacks to the gameplay, with
the jetpacks described as "surprisingly lightweight and agile" and
"easier to maneuver compared to the sluggish incarnations of the gadget
found in other games." The enemy will one again be the Helghast,
although Killzone 3 will show they still "have humanity left in them."
The setting wasn't specified very much, although Killzone 3 will
apparently have arctic levels, and they're going for a feeling of "being
in a place far away from home, outnumbered by people who want to kill
you." The game is also described as being "like Inglourious
Basterds"...whatever that means. And unsurprisingly, Killzone 3 will
have to option to play it in stereoscopic 3D, with the effects touted as
a "game changer" (you will, of course, need a 3D-capable TV for the
effects to work, though).
