Killzone 3 Gets Jetpacks, 3D Support And

Sony has yet to officially announce Killzone 3, the much-anticipated follow up to Guerilla Games' PlayStation 3 hit shooter Killzone 2, but thanks to the upcoming edition of GamePro, a slew of new details have emerged about the under wraps title.


A poster over at GameSpot UK’s forums has put up an extensive details list, but here are a few of more telling bits:

  • The game apparently includes jetpacks, which are described as "surprisingly lightweight and agile." Also, jetpack is easier to maneuver compared to the sluggish incarnations of the gadget found in other games."
  • The game will support 3D, and the 3D will apparently be a “Game Changer."
  • The combat is "unchanged from predecessor,” except for the addition of hand-to-hand abilities that have you “Unloading a string of different (and often brutal) attacks on stunned enemies."
  • The overall feel will be that “of being in a place far away from home, outnumbered by people who want to kill you."

These descriptions are classically second hand, and while there’s reason to believe they are accurate, they also can’t be confirmed just yet, so keep that in mind. Still, this seems a strong indication that Sony will definitely be sharing more about Killzone 3 during E3 in a few weeks. No?

    jetpacks didn't work for Dark Void, it didn't work for Halo Reach beta, leave Killzone 3 alone please, jetpacks will never be cool... except on Boba Fett and homemade jetpack videos on YouTube

    Unless they fix the stupid clunky control scheme, count me out. You know how when some games come out, it's just a given that you're going to buy it no questions asked? Yeah, KZ2 was that game for me. I unwittingly wasted sixty dollars on a pile of crap. The developers said that they wanted to give the controls weight, but the last time I held a rifle, if didn't weigh 200 lbs. No mention of fixing the control scheme: "The combat is "unchanged from predecessor". *face-palm*

    The Killzone boys playing some Halo: Reach? I know games have implemented them before but the fact that now all of a sudden they want to do jet packs after Bungies showed it off in Reach does make you wonder. Maybe they had it planned already but Bungie beat them to it. Oh well, Hopefully it won't suck as usual

    they did good on 2 i think 3 will be better!!! Jet packs sound dumb but maybe they will make it work? they made uav's good, snipers in preator cameo good, and levels big and bad ass! sounds like a winner to me. justfixed the lag in the kill shots. and maybe make weapons more upgradeable with more choices. yes words maybe miss spelled but i am really drunk!!!!!!!!!!

    I loved the last one. So far, not really looking forward to the third installment. I'll wait for more news to pass judgement.

    Guerrilla needs to bring fantastic Back story to the fore-front for this title to really stand out, we should all know it will look great, fantastic, awesome. But this game has a great story behind it, not too many people realize that.

    I hope the Jetpacks are like they were in Halo: Reach. Felt perfect to me in the beta.

    However I was not impressed with K2's story. though I really did like the background and the setting I hated my teammates. Though I still most likely will get it for the gameplay.

    Wow, just wow. No one really ripping on the jet packs yet as soon as jet packs were confirmed for Hao Reach all you heard was how jet packs are lame and nothing new and blah blah blah (im not a fan of jet packs personally) and not much of a backlash for jetpacks in KZ3........just.......WOW

    @cerberous they call it a gamechanger because KZ2 was really atmospheric and there goal is to make you feel like your on helghan.so it is a gamechanger
