The Official PlayStation Magazine has dropped a huge rumorbomb on the astonished heads of PS3 fans, naming Killzone 3 as one of its "secret games of 2010." According to the magazine, a sequel to Guerrilla's excellent first-person-shooter is already "deep in development," and should be ready for next year.
The magazine also alleges that Resistance 3 is on the cards in 2010, and that Treyarch has recently mentioned development of a Call of Duty: World at War sequel, continuing Treyarch's commitment to copying everything Infinity Ward ever does, ever.
Going back to Killzone 3, I would say that a sequel so soon is very plausible indeed. While Killzone 2 took almost half a decade to develop, now that Guerrilla has an engine and a full multiplayer structure, it should take a reduced effort to bash out a follow-up. Killzone 2 is still my top shooter of the year so far, so I'd be more than happy to start plugging the Helghast with bullets once again. How about you?

lol, will it have dinosaurs this time?
I want to know: is the online community still active? If not, then maybe a revival will be a good idea. If not...this is really oversaturation. Let's boycott it, like Left 4 Dead 2!
Kidding aside, this seems a little soon for me. You gotta let these online shooters stew for a while, you know? Let people play and get entrenched and THEN release a new one. Halo did that right, as did COD with regard to Modern Warfare. From what I've played of this game it's really fantastic; they should just keep supporting it with maps until the community really WANTS more, then release the 3rd one.
Just my ten cents. Same goes for Resistance 2.
Again, I don't own a PS3...are people still playing these games actively online?
Aside from actually being interested in where the single player story goes from where it ended, I could see expanding multiplayer to say... have vehicles.. or something... would be a fun addition. Or more of the same at new maps. Whatever. I can dig it.
do you mean "The Lost World at War"?
nah
what are you talkin about, are you crazy?
killzone 2 has the best art direction this gen
/snicker
Need an edit function...
I love Calzones! Didn't know PS3 had one! But it says on Wiki that Calzone is a drooping sack, kinda nasty.
I take it you're not familiar with opinion. KZ2 was the first game a bought with my PS3 slim. The graphics are the best thing about it.

This game's online setup is simply a dream (with a few blemishes of course, but that's why I'm so excited about the sequel). I seriously doubt that it'll end up releasing in 2010 because of Resistance 3, but certainly early-mid 2011.
Nothing ever did. The multiplayer brought some never before seen ideas to the table though. I'll give it that. But to be honest I couldn't enjoy those shit controls.
I don't find it encouraging that all the new multiplayer map packs weren't exactly up to par with the initial levels.
There's absolutely no "randomness" to where my bullets go. How do you think I have a 35% accuracy rate with the automatic rifle?
All I know is this means 1 thing, Alpha vs beta part 2.
Fucking hell...
Almost feel kind of bad for the developers, though. They worked their ass off on Killzone 2 for a LONG time, and probably got right back into it after their third MP pack.
At least the tools are finished and they're used to working with them now.
However, Killzone 2 was pretty damn good, so we'll have to see.
Next year is gonna be epic. Oh so fucking epic.
