Killzone 3 hits stores February 22 photo

Perhaps trying to steal the show from one Mr. Duke Nukem, Sony has announced a release date for Guerilla's Killzone 3. It'll be on shelves February 22 in North America.

If the wait between Killzone and its sequel seemed a bit longer than you had to wait for Killzone 3, you're not imagining things. Guerilla's Herman Hulst admitted that the development cycle for Killzone 3 was much shorter than Killzone 2. He points to a more experienced development, having learned many lessons from bringing Killzone 2 to life. But he's clear that doesn't mean Killzone 3 is a copy-paste of Killzone 2.

"There's nothing really in Killzone 3 that's straight from Killzone 2," he told me, "everything's been improved."

The game's multiplayer is playable to the public for the first time at PAX this week. If you're there, check it out, and stop reading stories on the Internet.

As awful as it sounds, I'm more likely to get Bulletstorm.

So Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Bulletstorm, Portal 2, Homefront, and now Killzone 2 all in February 2011? Holy shit. And we have Dead Space 2 a month before that, and then we have Dragon Age II and Gears of War 3 in the next 2 following months. Megaton.

Scheduling it for the same day as Bulletstorm strikes me as a very dumb move on Sony's part. I think they'd be better served pushing it back to March or April.

Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 = only shooters being released in the next 12 months that warrant first day purchases.

Crysis 2. Rage. Can we count Portal 2?

Seriously, I have absolutely 0 interest in Killzone 3 or SOCOM, so either way, it is looking dry. But that's OK.. FPS's have been saturated for years.. I could use a break from them. Plenty of other genres are getting their fill.

I say sexualchocolate should buy 1000 copies before this title becomes the corner stone of PS3.

Fuck the haters all the way, Im really excited for this game. Before battlefield it's the only game I spent a lot of time on multi player.

I enjoyed Killzone 2, it was a fun game. But can we have some semblance of story this time .

@Gol-D-Roger

KZ2 did have a semblance of story, but nothing beyond that. To be fair, it didn't exactly need any more than the sparse story it got. See glowy eyed shit, kill glowey eyed shit.

Also, isn't like a good story on a FPS helps it sell anyway. MW2 single player storyline was a complete load of fucking garbage & that sold shit loads.

500 hours in spent in Killzone 2, thanks to awesome competitive play and a built-in clan system.

@Kaden101: Yeah MW2's story was awful, but i can appreciate the dev's attempt to tell a story. Especially when the percent of people that buy this game for the single player, has to be extremely small. And I know a few people that have yet to play the single player portion of MW2. And a few people that thought the story was fantastic, so maybe they knew their audience ( shrugs )...

@Gol-D-Roger,

How could anybody say the story in MW2 was fantastic, it was wank.

I appreciate that most people buy MW2 for it's (broken, buggy...so I hear) multiplayer, but KZ2's multiplayer was pretty solid, & the SP story was no was than Call of Dismals.

Let's be honest here, both MW2 and KZ2 have pretty terrible stories. I'm not sure which one is worse.

KZ has a great storyline, but the games are horrible at showing it. To be honest, the Helghast (the "bad" guys) would make for much more interesting protagonists than the stereotype marines you get to play as.
