Just saw this on Neogaf:

"2 days ago I was able to play Killzone 3 behind closed doors in Amsterdam and have to say that it looks crazy.

The graphics are still based on the same engine as its predecessor, but was immensely improved.
While the playable areas of the second part of the series were pretty linear, we can assume that there will be wider areas like those of Battlefield BC 2.
What impressed me the most in the 30 minutes were the snow effects. It just looks fantastic how the snow lays down on the weapon and melts when shooting - and all that in 3D!
To be honest, I was a bit sceptical but KZ3 looks phenomenal in 3D, the explosions, the rain and the snow seem to be so real, that hollywood blockbusters like Avatar pale in comparison.
According to Guerilla each exemplar will be shipped with 2 killzone-styled 3D glasses.
I can't say anything about the controls, because Sony didn't show anything about them, but KZ3 is targeted to be played with a generic controller or the Arc.

P.s. You should all mark your calendars for March 13th"

Is it just hype or should I start salivating?
 
We'll see soon enough, but some of the info is a bit iffy. Shipped with 3D glasses? How do they know what make of TV you have? What if you don't have a 3D TV? Why is it being released on a Sunday?

Killzone 2 at times had trouble hitting 30fps in 2D @ 720p, so unless they have improved things significantly.....
 
Weaste you are the fecking Games Master. I take my hat off to your knowledge on technology and gaming.

I thought I recognized him from somewhere.

Forgive my ignorance Weaste but I've watched a lot of 3D movies on my tv by using 3D glasses, even though the tv isn't 3D. Wouldn't it be similar to that or is the quality too high to use that?
 
I just beat KZ2 a few weeks back. I can't say I was blown away. Decent game, but I won't be holding my breath for this.
 
got an email the other day saying im in the Killzone beta, i always forget i get these from time to time for different games.

others can join too if they are a ps plus and download a theme tonight at 8pm


Killzone 3 Beta for PS Plus users

So it's all going to go berserk tomorrow (October 13) at 8pm UK time on the PS Store. That's the time Sony will release a Killzone 3 theme that will also grant Killzone 3 beta access to the first 10,000 PS Plus subscribers that download it.

It's all kicking off a day earlier than the October 14 date originally announced, but SCEE has asserted: "We can now confirm that [the theme] will go live in the EU PlayStation Store at 8pm in the UK, 9pm CET and 6am in Sydney, Australia on 13 October."

We can see this getting very messy.

The process is simple; hand over some dosh to become a PS Plus subscriber if you're not one already. Sit tight until 8pm then log into the PS Store and be one of those first 10,000 to download the Killzone 3 theme. We'd like to think Sony will have it clearly signposted in the store. Then wait until October 25 when you'll receive an email with the PSN code to get the beta. Simples.

How will you know right away if you're one of the first 10,000? We don't know.

How will you get to it before the other billion gamers all frantically entering, exiting and re-entering the PS Store from 7:50pm? We don't know.

Good luck with that one.
 
Any game play footage? The video a few posts up has been removed and the account holder stomped on.
 
meh, didnt like the previous one at all. They need to make a lot of improvments so we shall see
 
I thought Killzone 2 was brilliant, though it lacked a decent story and they stuck a load of foul mouthed language in for no reason.
 
Si, is this the year to get myself a 3D-TV? Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3, both in 3D.
 
I'll be getting it. I really enjoyed killzone 2 multiplayer!
 
the swirling snow nauseated me but has anyone manged to use the shotgun pistol?
 
Apparently the single player demo is up on the HK store, so I'm off to create an account. Also available for PS+ subscribers in EU and NA.

From the stills I'm looking at the graphics are something else.
 
it's gorgeous.

my nausea may have been due to some neck and back pain related headaches. still, they could do without the swirly snowflakes imo.

They're probably just there to look good for the 3D.
 
oh yeah. what a mindfcuk that will be. be nice if you could turn them off in the options menu somewhere.
