A poster over on the Gamespot UK forums has reported that the latest issue of GamePro has some juicy scoops on Killzone 3.
Check them out below.

– Will show the Helghast have humanity left in them.
– Will have the feeling that “of being in a place far away from home, outnumbered by people who want to kill you.”
– Will be like Inglorious Basterds.
– All of the characters in the screenshots are flying in.. jetpacks?!
– Will include arctic levels.
– One mission in the game involves rescuing ISA Captain Narville.
– Game is playable in 3D!
– Have to wear 3D glasses, apparently the 3D effects are “crazy.”
– Combat is “unchanged from predecessor.”
– Or is it? Hand to hand combat involves you “Unloading a string of different (and often brutal) attacks on stunned enemies.”
– The scale is supposed to be “bigger this time.”
– The Jetpacks are “surprisingly lightweight and agile, Killzone 3’s jetpack is easier to maneuver compared to the sluggish incarnations of the gadget found in other games.”
– New weapon called the Wasp, basically shoots a “flurry of rockets” at an enemy.
– Will show off the Helghast culture.
– There is actually a Helghast language, which will be explored in the game.
– Will have “diverse locales.”
– Have to sit in the center of the 3D tv for the 3D effects to work.
– 3D in this game is called a “Game Changer.”
– Going to have “Intense Action”
– Jetpacks double as a weapon, which basically means a machine gun mounted right on top of it.
– If you shoot Helghast with jetpacks, they’ll “explode like roman candles”
– To control the jetpack, you “have to activate bursts of speed in midair, propelling yourself across further distances.”
– The Jetpack resembles something you’d do in platformers such as Super Mario Bros. Or Uncharted
– In one mission, you have to use the jetpack by “launching yourself from glacier to glacier”
– You’ll see “a lot of” snow levels.
– Everything is more spread out in this game.
– The game looks very complete.
In case you didn’t notice our not-so-subtle bold hints- there will be jetpacks and 3D in Killzone 3. Hell yeah.
But pick your jaw up off the floor, there are some scans to feast your eyest on too.

Call of Duty: Black Ops info and scans leaked

The latest issue of OXM has spilled some very large beans on the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops.

– You will be fighting the North Vietnamese Army in certain missions.
– Vehicles will be making a comeback, but “not in the way you remember them from WaW”.
– There will be “dedicated co-op” with separate levels.
– Treyarch also has the following to say on Nazi Zombies 2, “We really like the zombie mode, and as I mentioned I can’t talk about the co-op mode other than to say that one of the reasons we love it so much is that it feels like it was a fan-adopted mode,” said Treyarch head Mark Lamia.
Lamia asked the interviewer if he wanted the mode to return, which was answered with an inevitable ”Yes.” Lamia replied, “Okay. Well all I can tell you is we listen to our fan base.”
– A multiplayer beta is being “considered”
– Treyarch will be doing more thorough testing of it’s maps after the under-the-map glitches found in World at War.
– Alterations to the matchmaking service will “make it easier for [players] to get into games with their friends.”
– Multiplayer maps will reflect into the single player campaign.
– Create-a-Class 2.0 will allow you to customise yourself like never before. This should include kit and appearance items as well as perks.
“Payback – This sees you clearing out a helicopter crew before jumping into the helicopter, take off and…you’re controlling it! It would be easy to slide into cynical gamer mode and expect to be relegated to mini-gun duty, but you’re actually controlling the helicopter.”
“The evolution Treyarch has undergone between World at War and Black Ops feels very familiar. In fact, we don’t have to look far to figure it out. We saw this exact kind of “oh-ha!” corner-turning in game design and execution from this very franchise back when Infinity Ward leapt from A-list to the AAA-list between CoD2 and the first Modern Warfare.”
And if that doesn’t have you chomping at the bit, we have some new scans for you to feast your eyes on. Check them out below.
