Guerrilla: Killzone 3 clocks in at 8-10 hours in length

Guerrilla Games has revealed that sci-fi shooter Killzone 3's single-player campaign will take gamers roughly 8-10 hours to beat.

Speaking during a chinwag with VG247, senior producer Steven ter Heide commented, "From the playtests, I think it's anywhere between 8-10 hours," adding, "The fastest guy did it in about eight hours, but on average it was about 10 hours."

For reference, that puts the sequel at about the average play time as far as current first-person shooters go, though it's still a fair bit meatier than the last few Call of Duty games.

Keep your eyes peeled for our review of Killzone 3 later this week.

That's pretty good. Not quite as long as I'd like it to be, but whatever.

Amazing. Games last gen were about x2-3 longer than these games. I guess devs are trying to cut costs by making games as short as possible.

I spent 8 hours on MW2. I played it twice. Once on hard then another round on Veteren. Then again I never skip cutscenes or rush through a game. 4 hours is a lie.

If 1 Hour = 4 hours then.......

4 x 2= 8.

I have beaten MW2 in one sitting. MOH was 4 hours as well. I was amazed of how short it was.

I am content if it actually is 8-10 hours. That is long for a game this generation. There hasn't been a shooter that had a campaign that length this generation (actually bioshock)

So its really 6-8? Thats the trend with all developers. They base that number as if the person has never played a videogame before.

It takes time to create these worlds, it takes weeks just to even flesh out some character models. The enviroments, with ever tiny detail, all take a long time. A lot of time goes into making these games extremely detailed, that there is no room these days for the 15+ hour game, but that doesn't make it terrible. If you want the game to last longer, I suggest playing on the hardest difficulty. Obviously, there are some exceptions of games that run longer than 10 hours, but at this point in time, games just cost too much to make them longer in some cases.

It's a shooter. The only shooters that I've actually cared for the campaign story was Halo1,2,3. The replay of shooters comes from online capabilities this generation, not a long story.

8-10 hours is pretty standard for most shooters. I'm a firm believer in that quality gameplay and pacing determines a game's true worth, and not the length of it. Some of the best games I ever played had campaigns clocking in at under 10 hours. Hell, some even under 8 hours (Metal Gear Solid, Dino Crisis 2, and Vanquish come to mind).

In my experience these estimates are too conservative. Seems like it always takes me 14 hours to beat what was supposed to an 8 hour campaign.

So it will probably be around eight hours then, devs tend to oversell the length of their games sometimes. Sounds good, especially if the pacing is on point, most of my Killzone 3 hours will be poured into the multiplayer though.

I wasn't disappointed with the Killzone 2 game length. Last time they said 10 hours as well.

This man gets it. Games like Black Ops, for example, excel at maintaining a fast, intense pace that would grow tiring if it is exacerbated any more than it should. Pacing, not length, is key (although length is certainly important).
