Killzone 3. The jet-packs. The Brutal Melee. The PlayStation Move. The 3D!
Ever wanted to get your hands on the action? Killzone 3 may not be out until 23rd of February but we’re giving you a chance to experience into the “Icy Incursion” level that takes place halfway through the campaign.
- February 16th is the day that Killzone 3′s Single Player demo hits the PlayStation Store.
- PlayStation Plus members will be able to download the demo on February 9th, so strap on that jet-pack and take flight through the arctic environments of Helghan.
There will be two separate downloads available from the PlayStation Store: one in 2D and one in 3D. Both versions will take place on the “Icy Incursion” level. Don’t worry – downloading the 3D version and playing it on your 2D TV won’t break anything… you’ll just see a message saying “No 3D TV detected.” The 2D version has splitscreen co-op as well, a feature not available in the 3D demo.
These demos will be PlayStation Move-enabled, giving gamers a chance to experience Killzone 3 with the most immersive controls. When you get your hands on the demo, be sure to try out one of my favorite new mechanics, the Brutal Melee attacks. Get close to your enemy and hit the melee button (or thrust your PlayStation Move motion controller at the screen).
The aiming and movement mechanics have been tightened since Killzone 2; play around with them and let us know what you think.
Stay tuned to the blog as we give out more details on the upcoming multiplayer Open Beta.
In preparation for the battle, check out the full list of weapons.
Once you had a go visit our forums on Killzone.com and let us know what you think.

Looking forward to test this with the move controller. I’m no good at FPS games on consoles with the normal controllers…

Split-screen co-op in a game as craving as this is an impressive feat! The tightened aiming mechanics sure bothe well too.

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 2:28 pm by TIMCSS

This is just genius marketing.
The multiplayer beta starts on Feb 3rd, finishes feb 15th. This releases on Feb 16th and I can keep playing it until the game releases!
Brilliant Guerilla/SCEE. I love you

Brilliant!
A single player demo, and multiplayer demo (Beta).
Thanks, and even tough theres a delay, im still glad non-plus’ get to play both!
Great Job GG, and SCEE.
You know SCEE, keep this up and we’ll have a great 2011.
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:04 pm by Aryeh Loeb
2011 is going to be great anyway!
27
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:03 pm by KylieDog
So close to release for nrmal people, what is the point?
I have PS+ and even I think it is pointless making the demo exclusive early.
SCEE desperate to make PS+ sound like it getting good stuff? Sounds like PS+ just making others suffer delaying demo for those without it.
If demo is built and ready give it to all.
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:07 pm by Aryeh Loeb
Or you could refrain from downloading it until it is available for everyone
As long as people have fun playing the game it’s all good.
28
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:09 pm by dayer2910
Good news possibly?
trying to win round the KZ2 haters much:)
at this rate there’ll be no point in buying the game as it’ll all be free! personally i’ll try it and make a decision to buy or not after that.
29
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:12 pm by KylieDog
To be honest I have the CE of KZ3 pre-ordered and I’m gonna pass on the demo entirely, I would just like something unique to PS+ rather than stuff like this we get a week later anyway.
I’ll sound less grumpy in-game, honest :p

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:13 pm by SAV-L
is it just going to be split screen co-op or are they going to have online co-op as well, talking about the whole game not demo
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:20 pm by Aryeh Loeb
Splitscreen only.
31
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:14 pm by dayer2910
no
32
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:15 pm by liortttttttttttt
Will the demo include the whole level or just sections of it?
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:22 pm by Aryeh Loeb
It won’t be the complete level. We want to keep some things under wraps. But there will be new, previously unseen, sections. So definitely worth it.
33
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:25 pm by cspr111
I’m not dling the demo coz I’m deffo getting it amd don’t want any spoilers
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:27 pm by Aryeh Loeb
We do our best not to spoil stuff

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:44 pm by beardyweirdy
can we have some Killzone 3 avatars
35
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:48 pm by Carl-G
Cool;) I loved KillZone + KillZone 2.
About Splitscreen gameplay, wouldn’t it be cool if you could have 4 player splitscreen for the main story mode to. I don’t think anyone has ever made a game like that + 2 or 3 or 4 player splitscreen for the online modes to. Maybe one day someone will do it
36
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 5:15 pm by KId2812
I CANT WAIT.
I LOVED KILZONE 2, its the reason i got into shooter games.
THNX for the MP and SP Demo, I CANT WAIT TO TRY OUT THE NEW MELEE MOVES AND JET-PACK

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 5:18 pm by T-Jani
I have asked this question so many times with no reply………does this game have status updates on the xmb like LBP2 and COD:blops? This feature is so important to me and my friends on psn.
Thanks

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 6:28 pm by dgnfly
i was wondering why can’t we have good old pc fights with that i mean 32 players?
41
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 7:43 pm by Crypto139
Hi there, I can’t wait for KZ3! Just a few questions. Will the multi-player beta be in 3D and if I still have the original Beta will that one just be patched or will I have to download the whole Beta again. Also how big (file size wise) will the beta and the 3D single player demo be?
42
Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 11:37 pm by Darkos87
Can you please confirm whether there’ll be online co-op because many video game sites have reported online co-op for the full retail game, while I always hear only splitscreen co-op is supported.
43
Posted on 27 January, 2011 at 12:00 am by Krish123
omg, Feb 16th is my birthday, Boo-YAH!

Posted on 27 January, 2011 at 9:15 am by papada911
Simply epic ! And splitscreen in the demo too ? Awesome ! Cannot wait for the 9th !
45
Posted on 27 January, 2011 at 2:45 pm by Cassive-B
Don’t think I’m even gonna get the demo. Straight up buy the game.

tell me why people support the Nazi Helgast?:/

Posted on 7 February, 2011 at 12:45 am by craigiversen
I see you guys are saying that you’ve made the controls tight and responsive like most other really good shooters, great to hear.
Even the slightly improved option patched in on Killzone 2 didn’t make things as good as many other shooters I’ve played and the overall controls marred for me an awesome game. I know it’s an older game now, but any chance of patching Killzone 3 controls (if they are better) into Killzone 2?
It’d be a great idea, particularly if your legacy titles mean as much to you as your upcoming ones. Developers that give long standing support tend to get it too. Just a thought.

Posted on 7 February, 2011 at 9:42 pm by BacardiSpirit
Richardnl1979 I completely agree with you (NEDERLAND!)
THis is why I love my PS3 just the few games that are so much better then the Xbox exclusive like [DELETED] halo, makes it the best console on the market (In my opinion)
PS3 RULES!

don’t get 2 full off yourself just cause our country made 1 game that looked good story wise the first one sucked and 2nd story was a mess so like all shooters it’s down 2 multiplayer
