I didn't play the original, but I loved Killzone 2, just wish it had more story. Here's hoping for 3 to be the best one yet.

Just before the weekend we saw the first Killzone 3 PS3 Trailer, and today Korean site RuliWeb.com has made available a Killzone 3 PlayStation 3 Jetpack Helghast introduction video.

Uploaded by dinsurya to YouTube, the video trailer's caption simply reads as follows: Guerilla Games' Herman Hulst demonstrates Killzone 3's Jetpack Helghast in-game.

To quote from the site, roughly translated:

"Tokyo, Japan, conducted in the past four days Killzone 3 of the experience, taken in 20 seconds with a short cam video of a co-founder and managing director of Guerrilla Games Herman directly demonstrated Mr. Hirst is the world's first public appearance jetpack Abba practical is the video.

Killzone 3 is in development since Killzone 2's completion, the development began in January last year, while improving significantly the existing engine textures, loading of games, music streaming was significantly improved.

Released in 2011 with the aim to smooth the development process, and some more details on upcoming E3 2010 is expected to unveil a practical video."

Hmm, that is odd. But I won't lie, my nips are fully erect in excitement for this game

Looks better then the 2nd one, glad to see that, now I hope they fix the controls and I'll be happy ._.

Why are we still playing as the ISA? I think it's pretty firmly established by now that they're not only the least interesting thing in the series, they're the less sympathetic faction. Bald space marines were getting old by the time KZ2 came out, now they're just obnoxious.

playing as helghast would be badass

I've not played much of KZ2 currently (only about an hour into the single player), but if there's one thing I have to say about KZ3, is it proving you can do 3-D without sacrificing pretty much next to nothing in the visuals department.

I've not played much of KZ2 currently (only about an hour into the single player), but if there's one thing I have to say about KZ3, is it proving you can do 3-D without sacrificing pretty much next to nothing in the visuals department.

There will be sacrifice somewhere, either in resolution, AA or frame rate usually. New 3D patch for super stardust HD added 4x MSAA and solid 60fps in splitscreen for non-3D mode. So non-3D it runs at 1080p, solid 60fps even in splitscreen and all with 4x MSAA, for 3D mode it drops resolution down to 720p to still maintain 60fps (per eye, so it is essentially running at 120fps) and drops the MSAA.

My guess is KZ3 will have less post processing effects (it had a lot of motion blur in KZ2), possibly lower the textures a little. I'm guessing it will want to maintain 30fps per eye for 3D otherwise it'll look like shit. This means KZ3 will have to run at 60fps, KZ2 ran at 30fps. Unless they got a lot better with the tech for PS3, that is.

More PS+ benefits. I hope they make it open to the public before release in February.

Yes, the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial really is coming! Just like its predecessor, the multiplayer mode for Killzone 3 will be put through rigorous testing at the hands of the toughest, most demanding critics in existence: you, the fans. The Trial starts on October 25th and access is limited, so please read the following instructions carefully if you want to know how to secure a spot in the Public Beta:

* Be(come) a Plus subscriber
* With the exception of a handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants, access to the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you’re not enjoying the many benefits of Plus membership yet, now’s the time to sign up!
* Download the theme
* On October 19th, an exclusive Killzone 3 XMB Theme will appear in the Plus section of the PlayStation Store. The first 10,000 Plus subscribers to download this theme (5,000 SCEA Plus subscribers and 5,000 SCEE Plus subscribers) will receive access to the Public Beta Trial.
* Check your email
* After you’ve downloaded the Killzone 3 XMB Theme, you will receive an email on Oct. 25th containing the Public Beta Trial promotion code and further instructions through the address you registered as your PSN Sign-In ID. Make sure you’ve set your notification preferences to accept emails from SCE, or we won’t be able to contact you.

Those of you who make it into the Public Beta Trial are expected to provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test our network code in real-world scenarios. In short, we’re counting on you to help us improve Killzone 3! In return you’ll get a good taste of the multiplayer mode, including its brand-new Operations game type, party system, and jetpack and exoskeleton vehicles.

And if that doesn’t convince you to take a shot at the Public Beta Trial, maybe this new trailer will:

The Beta theme went live yesterday, did anyone else download it and think they might make the 5k cut?

I'm hoping I caught it early enough, but I have no idea when the update went up. At worst it would be a few hours, but that might have been too long.
