Killzone 3 Gets Splitscreen Co-op for Campaign as Byproduct of 3D

13
You and a buddy will be able to play through the Killzone 3 campaign in splitscreen co-operative play since the developers had to support double rendering for the game's stereoscopic 3D support, reveals managing director Herman Hulst in an interview with 1Up.

As for 3D itself, Hulst is adamant that it is an option, not a requirement, for Killzone 3. "3D is a great feature, but it's an option to the game. I don't want people who don't have 3D to have a suboptimal experience," said Hulst. "But we don't want to alienate the core audience. The same with Move. These things are options. They're great options. I think they're here to stay."

Unfortunately, the game will not boost itself up to 60 frames-per-second when running in 2D and is locked to 30 FPS regardless of what dimension you're playing the game in.

Killzone 3 will be released for the PlayStation 3 on February 22, 2011.

    We need PS4 and 360-2 plain and simple.

    Bring out these two bad boys @ 1080p standard, 3D support full and max detail at that rez and I may never leave the house again \m/ damn would that not be insanely awesome.

    Next round is gona be amazing.

    I really would like to try this sucker in 3D when it comes out.

      Honestly, I'm pretty comfortable with where graphics are at right now. I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool to have better graphics, but for right now when I'm playing a game it'm not noticing any jaggies or low rez stuff because I'm busy playing a game. I might notice that stuff if I was actively looking for it, but I'm not because the graphics are more than adequate for keeping me focused on the gameplay.

        If you don't own a PC maybe.

        I mean if you didn't have a up to date PC, followed the PC seen, or had no friends in the PC seen, and blocked your self from all the new PC tech you might not care. But until you play your first 3D game on the PS3 you will care.

        The thing is aside from the PC issue if you actually play a PS3 3D game you will see that you lose half the quality of the graphics and its a massive hit. Its the comparable of going from a MAX setting to low-medium on a PC you will notice and not like. I actually feel like they should not even bother with 3D this gen till the next system it just can not handle it and makes the game look like shit.

        I agree the quality is nice but if you where to ever play one of your favorite games in 720 and bump up to 1080p and have higher rez texture you could never go back and become cursed like my self.

          Right, but like you say, I don't think the majority of people with consoles have an up-to-date rig which means they are fine with the tech as-is meaning we don't need PS4 and 360-2 plain and simple. The people that want that stuff will have an up to date PC, and the people who don't are more than happy with their current hardware.
