According to news in the latest issue of GamePro, there are some big changes in store for Killzone 3, most notably the fact that the series will be in 3D. The following are some of the highlights taken from that issue of GamePro as posted by someone on the GameSpot UK forums.
Plenty of additional details are up after the break, including more details on how the 3D technology will work.
- Will include arctic levels.
- Game is playable in 3D
- Have to wear 3D glasses, apparently the 3D effects are "crazy."
- Hand to hand combat involves you "Unloading a string of different (and often brutal) attacks on stunned enemies."
- The scale is supposed to be "bigger this time."
- The Jetpacks are "surprisingly lightweight and agile, Killzone 3's jetpack is easier to maneuver compared to the sluggish incarnations of the gadget found in other games."
- New weapon called the Wasp, basically shoots a "flurry of rockets" at an enemy.
