Killzone 3

[GLaDOS]

So we're finally getting a glimpse on how the jungles look like in Helghan. Nice breakdown.

Ok, at the KZ3 forums people said the 24 hour bonus starts when you input your codes and runs for 24 hours whether you play or not.

Not to "hate" but these pre-orders are kind of sucky in a way. But if you're smart, they can work.

For me, I'm going to play MP mode for a handful of hours first to get used to it and see if games are rolling one after then other. Then I'll set aside a huge chunk of time to play and will enter my code at that time. That way I get the most out of my 24 hours.

I want, I want, I want......

Man, 2011 is going to be one heck of a gaming year!

For Confirmation about pre-order bonus 24 hours

from playstation blog

Question about the first 24 hours bonus:
Is that the first 24 hours after the game is released (1 day only), or the first 24 hours the player spends in multiplayer (possibly over the course of several days/weeks)?
Thanks.

Good question.
The first 24 hours of the multiplayer enhancements begins once the voucher is redeemed.

I hope I've got the weekend off when this game comes out that way I can take full advantage of the 24hr bonus. Just need to find something for the wife to do

[partridge]

Still no collectors pre-order, but even worse I've just realised that it's a half term (UK) when this game comes out; so no taking the day off for non stop KZ3 launch day action for me!
PAH.

I'll have to save my 24 hour double XP bonus for the Friday after launch (assuming I'm ever able to preorder the collectors edition!)

Tried to fire up the K3 beta last night and got an error I assume it is done. I will be getting this game but I don't see a first day purchase for me.

You can play offline with bots.

Yeah its finished

We chat with managing director Herman Hulst about Killzone 3's development, what you learn about the Helghan people, and how the game milks the PS3 for all it's worth.

You know, look at it for yourself. We found a lot of power after we completed Killzone 2. Just to give you an example on the graphics side: we pulled a level from Killzone 2 into the Killzone 3 engine and it ran at 50 percent. That's how much power we've been able to find. You can see it in split screen co-op. We had to do the double rendering anyway. I don't think there's that much that's suboptimal.

Hmmmm?

Maybe I won't delete this beta off my hard drive just yet then.

[AranhaHunter]

I wonder if the old rumor of 2p co op campaign and 4 player co op missions is true. Of course split screen will probably only support up to 2 players, but no reason you can't do 2p split screen mission co op with bots or online, with, ideally, each person signing in with their own PSN ID.

[Blu-Curry]

Boo Yeah, with split screen coming to Killzone 3 and Resistance 3, i can FINALLY show my xbox 360 friends these games since whenever they're over they only play multiplayer games. So having a split screen co-op is an awesome addition.

"Plenty" might be stretching it... Killzone 1 did jungles... I want to see something akin to a real jungle (or blue sky) in Killzone 3 (even if it's just for one level).

Good thinking, reckon I'll do the same. Get used to it first then, when I'm comfortable on a couple of maps, I'll activate my double points voucher and fly up the progression board.

muuwaaaahaaaahaaa

That's assuming I ever get to preorder the collectors set, eh Sony? Still waiting.

[G1ggs]

I'll probably just go for the 'Unlock and Load Pack' as I'm not sure how much online time I'll get on release day. At least with this pack it's not limited to 24 hours.
