Killzone 3 already in development, on store shelves by 2010?
Killzone 2 only just hit store shelves earlier this year and just now reports are coming to light that says Killzone 3 is already in development.
News comes to us from the Official Playstation Magazine who says Killzone 3 is to be one of Guerilla Games‘ secret projects for 2010 and is under heavy development over at the studio.
Just how much stock should you put into this report? Well, the Official Playstation Magazine is pretty credible considering the obvious but Killzone 2 took 4 years to get onto store shelves so I think it’s safe to say we will be seeing a delay, or two.

Priced at $399.99, just as I said yesterday, this bundle will be very enticing for want-to-be PS3 owners waiting for Sony to lower the price. But wait, what if Sony does lower the price? Or what if they release the PS3 slim?

Killzone 2 update causes intro to be unskippable
There’s nothing that I hate more than games that force you to watch their opening cinematics. Yeah I know, it’s an attempt by the developers to engage players into the storyline but more often then not I just want to dive into the action.
Luckily, Killzone 2 was not one of these games, until recently that is. Reports have surfaced that after downloading a recently released patch, the introductory movie could not be skipped no matter how many buttons you press. Is this just an evil joke by Guerilla? Nope, after contacted by Destructoid they released the following statement:
We’ve had many reports of this. The QA team is aware of it and looking for a fix.
Let’s hope a fix comes sooner than later because I’m sure there are players out there who have been tempted to send their controller flying at their TV screen after being forced to watch the intro for the 50th time.

Killzone 2 Map Pack Coming
The awesomeness of Killzone 2 continues, as Guerilla Games has announced a new map pack for the first-person shooter. Set for release by the end of the month, the pack will offer two new multiplayer maps.
No pricing was given for the pack, which is titled “Steel & Titanium”. Vektra Cruiser is the first map, offering a vertically-oriented arena set in an ISA flagship. The other map is Wasteland Bullet, which features two speeding trains that allow players to hop between them.

Killzone 2 sells a millie
It’s official, Guerilla Games’ Killzone 2 has officially surpassed the 1,000,000 units sold mark just 2 weeks after it hit store shelves.
And just for clarification, these 1,000,000 copies were sold in North America and Europe alone, other markets were not included in the statistic.
Also, for another fun fact, on Killzone 2’s opening weekend a full 700,000 copies were sold. It’s no Halo 3, but Sony may be onto something.

Killzone 2 controls under investigation
Word has been circulating the internet that there are several players out there experiencing some issues with the control scheme implemented into Killzone 2.
Well, after initially denying the fact, Guerilla Games has announced that they are currently looking into the problem.
Destruction quotes Producer Seb Downie to have said the following:
Okay, before I start crying.
1. We have not decided if we are going to do anything to the controls. We are investigating.
2. If we change them, we have not said how. No reason to get upset. We are not going to turn them on their head. It would not be sweeping changes.
3. Any potential changes made will be carefully analyzed and tested to ensure they do not negatively affect players who do not experience any issues.
Let’s just hope this problem is squashed before it escalates any further. I mean, Killzone 2 is pretty much the killer app for PS3 currently, right?
