Killzone 3 Trailer Will Freeze Your Butt Off


The first gameplay footage of Killzone 3 will make you wish you'd brought your scarf and mittens.

Why can't a war ever be fought on the sunny beaches of Hawaii? That's the question the latest Killzone 3 trailer made me ask, which takes place on a freezing snowy mountain facility.

Just look at the soldier the trailer first pans to. Short sleeves? Did he leave his coat at home? Or is he just that much of a bad-ass? Seriously, the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance needs to learn the value of a warm jacket if it ever wants to take out the Helghast for good.

Maybe he needs more mobility for Killzone 3's close-combat attacks. Looking similar to Zeno Clash [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100349-Bizarre-Indie-Brawler-Zeno-Clash-Hits-XBLA-Next-Week], Killzone 3 will have players snapping necks and kicking dudes in the gut in-between bouts of using massive gatling weaponry and riding on tanks.

Killzone 3 will also include a bug wing-like weapon-loaded jetpack to fly around with. However, enemies have a spidery jetpack of their own. Who will win the battle of insect jetpacks? You decide.

According to nature, when it is a wasp versus a spider, the wasp usually wins.

The first 2 games both had gorgeous screenshots plastered all over the internet, and incredible jaw dropping trailers to go with. Unfortunately the end games always just seemed to be a bit lacking in comparison. Maybe this 3rd game will break that mould? Can hope.

Got to say though, I do love the look of that CQC.

I'll admit it looks pretty cool (no pun intended) in both graphics and gameplay. That said it is certainly true that walking around in short sleeved vests does raise a few questions as to what's going through the minds of the guys sending in the soldiers into a frozen territory.

I'm loving the short sleeves, the idea is so bad it's good. Could use a little chilling myself, this ice cream im eating isn't doing the trick ><

Now I've never played any of the killzone games but all the big guns and flying-shooting-insects and whatnot just look a bit gimmicky :/ Like they are peddling the game on "LOOK AT THESE HUGE GUNS YOU CAN USE!!" like we're all 14 or something.
CQC looks pretty cool though, if you actually get a chance to use it without getting shredded in an instant.

Well it seems very snow based. I love that, I always think games don't have enough snow levels...
Melee combat looks pretty solid too. Might keep an eye on this one.

It's probably because I never played the first two games, but this trailer didn't exactly make me want to play this. I don't know why. I guess it's because the protagonist seems totally out of place and it's just a lot of futuristic shooting without a context.

For God's sake, CRYSIS! That's right, if you want to play a war game set in sunny beaches, play Crysis. Jeez.

Anyway, I'm really digging the melee beatdowns and the soundtrack that was playing during that part of the video.

I dunno the Killzone lore but are humans immune to cold? The other guys seemed to be packed pretty tight in order not to freeze o,,o

Well, that does look like a competent FPS. Jetpacks can only be a good thing. And yes, the main character could really use a badass longcoat - Helghast are (strangely) not using them here, so he could have had it without many reprecussions.

I also have a question about the graphics - is it just me, or waves in the sea look rather unnatural?

Fire your gun more, that'll keep you warm. The first two games were solid, I expect nothing less of this one.

Don't know why,this made me think of killzone as a homebaked pie,where other shooters like MW2 are like takeout.This has something more,I can taste the combat.
