Studio shunned back-up videos and bit its nails

Guerrilla Games refused to reveal anything but pure gameplay footage during February’s big PlayStation Meeting press conference. The studio – which has been taken to task for misleading trailers before – insisted that it showed a live demonstration of Killzone: Shadow Fall, even shunning...

Trademark certainly suggests so

Sony may be turning back the clocks to the late Victorian era, as the platform holder has registered a couple of trademarks for a title named The Order: 1886. The listing – which popped up on an official North American website overnight – was filed on 18th April. Fascinatingly, the platform holder submitted a...

You may need a guidebook

We’re going to be perfectly honest: a lot of what Guerrilla Games’ senior technology programmer Michael Drobot has to say about Killzone: Shadow Fall in the video embedded below goes way over our head. Still, the presentation – recorded by Polish website GRYOnline – offers an interesting snapshot at some of the...

Heaven or Helghast

For a franchise once dubbed a ‘Halo killer’, Guerrilla Games’ solid-if-unspectacular Killzone series has frequently fallen short of its lofty ambitions. It’s unfortunate, because the Dutch developer has always possessed the ingredients to make a smash hit, but there’s always been a flaw in the recipe; a misstep mostly...

No boomerang jokes, please

Sony may have relied on its pool of development talent to offer feedback on the hardware inside its next generation machine – but it also consulted developers such as Guerrilla Games to elicit feedback on the console’s controller, the DualShock 4. Speaking as part of an interview with EDGE magazine, Evolution...

First-party studio is unsurprisingly satisfied with the system

Killzone: Shadow Fall may be drawing its fair share of criticism for lacking innovation, but there’s no denying that the title is already shaping up to be a visual masterpiece. That’s mostly due to the brute power of the PlayStation 4, which is perfectly "balanced” according to...

Guerrilla Games is piling on the polish

Killzone: Shadow Fall’s single player campaign has been playable from start to finish for a “couple of months”, game director Steven ter Heide has revealed. Writing on Twitter earlier this morning, the Guerrilla Games employee stated that he was taking advantage of the quiet time in the office to play...

Killzone developer wanted to build a great device for shooters

Much like the rest of its next generation console, Sony consulted with a number of its first-party developers to design the DualShock 4. One of those studios was Killzone creator Guerrilla Games, who, unsurprisingly, wanted to help the platform holder “build a great controller for [a...

More details at a future date

Guerrilla Games has teased that it may have more titles on the horizon than the upcoming PlayStation Vita spin-off Killzone: Mercenary. In a Christmas themed PlayStation Blog post, community manager Victor Zuylen noted that “2013 is gearing up to be another big year” for the Dutch studio, and “quite possibly the...

New blood

Story has never been Killzone’s strongest asset. Despite the magnificent lore surrounding the series, developer Guerrilla Games has yet to really take advantage of it. Hopefully, new recruit Martin Lancaster can do a better job. The former Crysis 2 writer has updated his personal resume, citing an unannounced Guerrilla Games title as...

Still working on new IP

Guerrilla Games is a busy studio at the moment. The Dutch studio currently has its hands on three different projects, including ongoing work on the Killzone franchise for PS3. Speaking at a GDC panel, art director Jan-Bart van Beek hinted that the studio was committed to supporting the Killzone IP on PS3, but he didn’t...

If the PlayStation 3 marked your first foray into the gritty universe of Killzone, then it seems as though Sony's got your back

After a series of rumours (and leaks), the platform holder has announced that a port of the original Killzone title is coming to the PlayStation Network on January 24th. It appears to be a straight port, so don't expect any...

The Killzone franchise didn't really make its mark until the PS3 came along

While the original PlayStation 2 title was dubbed as Sony's "Halo killer" at the time, the final product ultimately fell short. Sure, the PlayStation Portable spin-off, Killzone: Liberation, remains one of the best entries in the series — but it wasn't until Killzone 2 that the franchise ultimately captured the..

Guerrilla Games has switched on triple XP for Killzone 3 this weekend

The promotion applies to all XP earned in multiplayer up until 9:00AM on Monday morning. Presumably the offer's designed to celebrate the recently released From The Ashes map pack.

Guerrilla's announced the latest batch of Killzone 3 DLC this afternoon, entitled "From The Ashes"

The pack includes two new Guerrilla Warfare and two new Warzone maps. Sadly, no more Operations maps, which is a shame as it's still our favourite Killzone 3 game mode. With the pack set to release next week, Guerrilla's released videos for two of the four new maps. First up is Lente Missile Base, a..

Sitting pretty at the top

Killzone 3 has been out for a good while nowadays, and the fact that PlayStation Move is a dominating force is no secret any more. Between the explosive action found in the campaign, amazingly balanced online and superb Move controls, it’s no wonder that game found itself a top score in our Killzone 3 review. One of our...
