Killzone 3 Limited to Only Three Operations Maps, Additional Levels ‘Unlikely’

Jonathan Leack — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:18:10 +0000

Killzone 3 has been well supported by Guerrilla Games since its launch back in February. A total of three DLC packs have been released, and best of all, they’ve included quality content for an unbeatable price. However, Killzone fans have been asking for one thing in particular which has yet to be addressed: additional operations mode maps.

Guerrilla Games has displayed some doubt on whether or not additional operations maps would be added post-launch. We can now safely, and sadly, say that there is very little chance that this wide concern for Killzone 3 will ever be addressed. The official Killzone twitter account had the following posted in response to a question regarding DLC and operations mode:

It is unlikely there will be any more Operations maps for Killzone 3.

There are currently only three maps that support operations mode, and they are Frozen Dam, Akmir Snowdrift, and Mawlr Graveyard. Coincidentally, many argue that these are the most entertaining maps, and the mode sets the game apart from competitors with its player-integrating cutscenes and big moments. It’s a shame that Guerrilla Games is doubtful that additional levels of this mode will be added, and hopefully they can deliver a larger variety in Killzone 4.

Killzone 3 has just had its third DLC pack launched, and it includes four maps for only $4.99. Be sure to check it out!

Killzone 3 “From the Ashes” DLC Offers Bang for the Buck

Jonathan Leack — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 12:13:49 +0000

Killzone 3 has been relatively quiet since it released just a few months ago, mostly due to this year being full of great games to play. But never fear, because new maps are here to make sure people start talking about the game during this summer.

Guerrilla Games have revealed details for the upcoming Killzone 3 DLC which is accurately titled “From the Ashes“. The pack will include a total of four maps, each widely different in style, and covering both Guerrilla Warfare and Warzone styles of play.

The development team also chose to unveil two of the maps today, including both Mobile Factory and Lente Missile Base. Mobile Factory is a 16 player map set on the large mobile fortress found in Killzone 3‘s campaign mode. The fortress is constantly moving, and if players aren’t careful, they’ll plummet to their deaths. On the other hand, the Lente Missile Base is staged in the gorgeous Kaznan Jungle, a section in the campaign mode that many regarded as their favorite. The map will support 24 players for a chaotic Warzone experience with deadly missile explosions adding danger to major choke points.

From the Ashes will be offered in the next PlayStation Store update for only $4.99. Better yet, Guerrilla Games will be offering both major DLC packs along with the Retro Pack which includes two Killzone 2 favorites for only $9.99. Now that’s bang for the buck.

Killzone 3 Welcome Back Bonus Bolsters Player Ranks

Tyler Minarik — Fri, 20 May 2011 01:20:15 +0000

After over 3 weeks of PlayStation Network downtime there’s no doubt players have been excited to hop back online and shoot some more Helghast, and Guerilla Games is happy to provide a bonus welcoming players back.

All that downtime can really lay some stress on a gamer. Three full weeks of turning on the PS3 only to be greeted by the “PlayStation Network is currently down for maintenance” message. Three full weeks of owning one of the greatest multiplayer shooters to date, and being unable to wreak havoc on your online enemies. I’m sorry if I’m bringing up painful memories here, but know that you’re not alone. Guerilla Games feels your pain, and has decided to help you make up for lost time by providing players with a double experience weekend, starting tomorrow:

To celebrate the return of the PlayStation Network and welcome you back to Killzone 3’s online battlefield, we’ve got a Double XP Weekend lined up! Starting this Friday, May 20 at 17:00 PM UK time, and lasting until Monday, May 23 at 10:00 AM UK time, all XP you earn in Killzone 3’s multiplayer matches will be doubled.

If there was ever a great way to celebrate the return of the PlayStation Network, it’s exactly this. It’s time to put that rebuilt network to the test, by jamming the servers with as many Killzone 3 competitors as humanly possible. Couple that with the free copy of Killzone Liberation you can get for PSP when the PlayStation Store comes back online, and we have a solid Killzone welcome back package. If that wasn’t enough, the Killzone blog claims there will be more on the way, but they didn’t give any clue about what that would be. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled though for more information on that, as well as on the screen while brutal melee kills are being burned into our retinas. Will you be getting a taste of the overflowing cup of sweet, sweet experience this weekend?

Retrospective From Sony On Success of 3D Gaming Incoming

Paulmichael Contreras — Thu, 12 May 2011 20:14:48 +0000

It seems like only yesterday that we were in Sony’s Culver City studio lot, giving our initial impressions on some of the first titles to be enhanced with stereoscopic 3D. But as of next month, it will have been a full year since Sony pushed gaming into the next dimension, and they intend on reporting whether that experience has been a good investment or not.

At the upcoming Develop Conference in Brighton, Senior Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Mick Hocking will be giving a keynote presentation at the conference. Titled “The Stereoscopic 3D Experience – The First Year of 3D on PlayStation 3,” it takes place on July 21st, the last day of the show. The entire presentation will be presented to the audience in Full HD Stereoscopic 3D, as well as in surround sound. Several case studies will be presented, such as SOCOM 4 and Killzone 3, as well as horror stories and what not to do when developing for 3D. Mr. Hocking sounded excited to be able to share his experiences to the Develop Conference attendees:

I’m really looking forward to giving this keynote at Develop. I’ll be doing a 3D post-mortem from Killzone 3, and also showing how we implemented 3D as an advanced post effect in SOCOM 4. I’ll look at how we used a 2D camera for 3D augmented reality in EyePet Move. Actually being able to show these on a big screen with surround sound will make all the difference for the audience.

The Develop Conference takes place from July 19-21. At last year’s Develop Conference, we spoke to Mick Hocking about Sony’s 3D plans and it will be interesting to see how they have changed since 2010;

Killzone 3 “Steel Rain” DLC Out Now in Europe, Soon in US [Updated]

Paulmichael Contreras — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:53:00 +0000

Killzone 3 released this past February, to glowing reviews. It has already received one map pack, and a second one was recently announced. But when does the upcoming DLC launch? Well, that depends on where you live.

In Europe, the map pack is already live. Yes, as detailed on a recent blog entry on Killzone.com, the “Steel Rain” DLC should be available for European customers as of this writing. However, if you are in the United States, the pack will not go live until next Tuesday, April 12th. The price? €4.99 if in Europe, or free if you are a PlayStation Plus member during this month, and $4.99 in the US. The wording in the post does not make it completely clear if the PS Plus deal is exclusive to European customers, but as soon as that is ironed out we will let you know. So, who’s ready for some soaking wet combat?

Update: The official PS.Blog has announced that the PS Plus deal will be available for US customers as well, from April 12th until May 10th.

SOCOM 4 Beta In Full Swing, First Week of Operations Detailed

Paulmichael Contreras — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:38:52 +0000

SOCOM 4‘s beta program was initially detailed just before GDC. True to their word, the fine folks over at Zipper Interactive has started the first phase of the beta program, and have given some details for what to expect.
Already underway as of yesterday, currently only “eligible players” have been invited for this week. This likely includes those who have logged numerous hours in SOCOM: Confrontation and/or those who are active on the forums. There are two maps being showcased, “Port Authority” and “Assault & Battery.” All fours modes of gameplay are available in these maps:

Suppression: The SOCOM take on team deathmatch.
Last Defense: Capture controls points, discover the enemy base and destroy it.
Uplink: Steal enemy data and deliver it to your base.
Bomb Squad: Defend your bomb technician while he disarms enemy explosives.

In addition to standard and classic play modes, some days will include certain custom modes that the developer is testing out:

Sniper Alley: An 8 vs. 8 version of Classic Suppression with higher damage. Weapons are limited to sniper rifles, shotguns, smoke grenades and poison gas.
Last Defense Run ‘n Gun: Faster movement speed and reduced damage are applied to 16 vs. 16 Last Defense with weapons restricted to only shotguns and SMGs.
Scrum: Suppression is given rule tweaks of no respawn, faster movement and higher damage, while sniper rifles, frag grenades, concussion grenades and poison gas are disallowed.
Community Day Classic: A medley featuring Classic versions of all four game types (Suppression, Last Defense, Uplink and Bomb Squad) with increased speed and weapon restrictions placed on ranged explosives. Each game type is played over 11 five-minute rounds.

Finally, a schedule of which of these custom game modes and when they will be played has been detailed:

Tuesday (3/15) — Suppression and Classic Suppression
Wednesday (3/16) — Suppression and Classic Suppression
Thursday (3/17) — Uplink and Classic Uplink
Friday (3/18) — Last Defense and Classic Last Defense
Saturday (3/19) — Bomb Squad and Classic Bomb Squad
Sunday (3/20) — Sniper Alley and Last Defense Run ‘n Gun
Monday (3/21) — Scrum and Community Day Classic

So, were you invited to the private beta? If so, how active in the SOCOM or possibly MAG community are you? For the rest of us, we may not have to wait too much longer to get into the beta: as detailed earlier, PlayStation Plus members will be able to play beginning on March 22nd, Killzone 3 purchasers will gain access on March 29th, and finally anyone else not in the beta by April 5th will get to join in on the fun for the last week until the game releases on the 13th.

Stay tuned to PlayStation LifeStyle for our impressions on the beta as soon once we have spent a sufficient time shooting the rest of you online!

Killzone 3′s Latest Patch Did More Harm Than Good

Killzone 3 – Trophy Guide

Jeff Belote — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 17:24:09 +0000

Killzone 3 is the follow up to Guerrilla Games’ 2009 smash hit Killzone 2, with the story picking up right where Killzone 2 left off. The Helghan leader is dead and the ISA are retreating. Unfortunately, the Helghast have other plans. With the addition of PlayStation Move functionality the game takes on a whole new feel. There are 52 trophies to collect which consist of 44 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold and 1 platinum.

Note 1: This guide assumes that you are playing with the Alternate controller setup.
Note 2: For the purposes of this guide, the hidden trophies will not be hidden.

Shortly after watching the cut-scene where Sev and Rico watch three Helghast collecting green energy, you will come to a fight with two mounted miniguns. make sure you grab one of them by pressing “triangle” and take it with you. You will need it to take out the dropships. Eventually you will meet back up with Narville and the convoy. From this point you will need to follow the Exo across a bridge. This bridge will be where the dropships start coming. There will be four of them in total.

Dropship #1 will show up right after the Exo takes out the Helghan Carrier. The dropship will hover above the first bridge.
Dropship #2 will appear a little further down the road. There will be a roadblock with Helgan soldiers on the left in a broken down building. After you kill a few of them the dropship will appear over the road.
Dropship #3 & #4 will both appear after the convoy clears the roadblock. They will appear at the same time and will fly off one right after the other so you will need to be quick. They will fly off towards the left.

At this point you will see two areas with enemies and sandbags. There will also be a tank on the left that will drop off a few enemies. Clear the area of all enemies before you move on. You will then make your way around to the left. There will be some enemy soldiers on the left side as you go around the bend.

Killzone 3 Fails to Beat Killzone 2 Launch Sales

Matt Baker — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:19:58 +0000

The first week sales for Guerrilla Games’ Killzone 3 – released last week – has failed to beat its predecessor’s launch sales figures.

Killzone 3 is the 14th fastest selling game for Sony in regards to week one sales, however, Killzone 2‘s launch sales betters its successor’s by being Sony’s fifth fastest selling title. Killzone 2 also remains the fastest selling game ever in regards to week one sales.

Killzone 3 is, on the bright side, Sony’s second chart topper in 2011; LittleBigPlanet 2 being their other. The shooter, meanwhile, managed to beat Bulletstorm to the top of the UK charts announced this morning. For more on the game, check out PlayStation LifeStyle’s review of the shooter.

Steel Rain Map Pack Unveiled For Killzone 3

Guerrilla Games has announced the Steel Rain map pack for the recently released Killzone 3. The DLC includes two maps, both of which are inspired by locations from the shooter’s single-player campaign.

The two maps included – MP-09 Junkyard and MP-10 Stahl Arms – in the DLC are detailed below:

MP-09 JUNKYARD

Game Type: Guerrilla Warfare (16 players)

The junkyards of Helghan are a wasteland to some, but a valuable resource to others. In the main junk processing facility of Helghan, ISA and Helghast Forces are clashing in an attempt to salvage vehicles and supplies for their war effort. Jetpacks are the key to taking the high ground, but the huge Exoskeletons can quickly turn the tide of the battle on the ground.

MP-10 STAHL ARMS

Game Type: Warzone (24 Players)

As the Helghast write a new and appalling chapter on humanoid experimentation, beleaguered ISA Forces mount a desperate attack on the notorious Stahl Arms research facility, where they hope to free ISA soldiers who have been taken captive. Stahl’s Helghast forces will stop at nothing to ensure that the ISA attack fails, even if it means exterminating the very prisoners they need for their weapons research.

A price and release date has yet to be revealed for the game’s first downloadable content pack. The Steel Rain map pack screens and trailer are below.

Guerrilla Games Is Keeping Their Eye on You

The recent activity by hackers on our favorite console (the PS3) has many people in the industry a bit worried, and while you can count Killzone developer Guerrilla Games among those people, they have a plan to deal with any hackers they might run across.

Speaking with CVG, Producer at Guerrilla Games Steven Ter Heide stated that the recent events with the hackers is indeed a concern and that the firm is looking at every angle and working with Sony to combat any possible issues.

The ability for one person to ruin people’s games is not a good prospect obviously, so we’re working with Sony on the moderation side. We’re looking at people misbehaving, being able to follow reports against those so that’s all been taken care of – and we’re working with Sony to see, even more aggressively, what kind of things are happening.
But at the same time we have to step up as developers and say, ‘OK what are the holes in our game, what is the data, can we analyze that and see where the problems might be? We can look at the leaderboards and the stats that most people are playing with and say, ‘This doesn’t look right. Can we look into that and see what’s happening?’ That’s the reality now, we have to keep patching the game to make sure we keep getting one over the hackers.

It’s good to see Guerrilla Games being very active in trying to keep our online fun intact. Killzone 3 released this past Tuesday in the States, and is rolling out across the world this week, to rave reviews, including ours here.
