KZ3 Multiplayer Questions
Posted by Blackstaffer in Killzone 3, PS3 on August 20th, 2010
Gamescom brought us a bunch of new information about Killzone 3, and I won’t bother going over it here. You know what Google is – use it! Now that I’ve gone over all the information I can find, I still have questions:
- Very little has been said about the classes. There are five classes, they tell us, and you can choose any of them right from the get-go. As you play the game, you gain points that you can allocate to your class to gain new abilities. Two questions arise. One: what if I want to use several classes? Will there be enough points in the game for me to upgrade all the classes I want to play? Or will I run out? Two: can I reallocate points if I decide that I was going in the wrong direction with a class?
- Chat. Can I now talk to the entire team? It seems like we can from what I’ve read, but it’s still a little foggy. We really need the ability to talk to the whole team.
- Guerilla Warfare. The much-requested team death match feature? I don’t understand. We already had team death match in KZ2. It was called Body Count.
- Will the clans we created for KZ2 carry over to KZ3?
- Will we be getting any lone-wolf game types, like straight-up (non-team) death match or king of the hill?
- Will we be able to customize weapons?
- Will there be any in-match rewards for doing well? Like killstreaks?

Next Gen PSP to Have Touch-Sensitive Controls
So, it sounds like Sony has, indeed, been in contact with multiple development studios already (3 of which had said Sony showed them the tech) and has pretty much confirmed that the next generation PSP will be getting touch sensitive controls. The design itself is said to be based on the PSP-3000′s rather than the Go (but that doesn’t mean the design won’t change later on down the road; it could wind up being something completely different altogether). Here’s what they had said about the controls, according to Eurogamer:
…the screen is rich and detailed but the headline feature is the way games are controlled – by a touch-sensitive area on the back of the unit behind the screen.
I’m not entirely sure how that’s going to work. Due to developer feedback, the new PSP2, or whatever it is to be called, will be using flash-based storage media rather than disc-based media; so much for UMD2 I guess 
. This has already stirred some controversy, as users won’t be able to get in on any retail sales on games due to the digital distribution model.
Sony had shown the device with some first party titles that are in development, according to the source. Apparently, they are already settled on a business model for the unit, and is thought to be made available as soon as the end of 2011.
