Killzone 3 to have 70 Minutes of Cut-Scenes

Glad to know they are really pushing for a strong story in this one. :)

Killzone 3 to have 70 Minutes of Cut-Scenes

Killzone 3 has been rated by the British Board of Film clas.sification (BBFC). Specifically, they have placed a rating on supplementary cut-scenes which were provided to them by Sony Computer Entertainment.

The BBFC has listed their official rating of the material on their website, with the game being c.lassified as '18′. They also mention that the game "contains strong bloody violence and strong language". This should come as no surprise. However, the interesting part to note is that this basically confirms there will be at least 70 minutes of cut-scenes for our viewing pleasure as we play through the game. Killzone 2 had some especially epic scenes, so it's great to know that we have almost a full length movie's worth of them coming at us for round 3. When Guerrilla Games' Steven Ter Heide was asked last year if the amount of foul language in Killzone 3 would be downplayed in comparison he responded:

"Our sound director is here today and we said to him, 'Go through the entire database and, anything that's got s*** or f*** in it, just get rid of it – we don't want to hear it ever again! … But we feel the dialogue in there shouldn't be gratuitous; it should be about advancing the story and natural responses. Itshouldn't be off-the-scale swearing."

While many of us placed in the same situation as our stalwart heroes would be swearing up a storm as a natural response, its definitely a good idea to focus on plot progression rather than gratuitous dialogue. Any one can be offensive and rude with ease, but telling a good story takes skill. Despite this redirection for the story telling portions of the game, the brutal melees and gun violence are still in place, and Killzone 3 will have earned its '18′ rating.

Will you be picking up your copy for the progressive story, or for the violent gameplay?

expect the haters to say "PS3 it only does movies":?

Sounds good. Hopefully it can live up to the story trailer.

Im all for it as long as the game has a good story

Kz3 is gonna be awesome!

I'll definitely be picking it up for a story featuring rich, complex characters like Rico.

That tells me something else, as well: there's a strong chance the campaign will be longer than your usual FPS. I don't see how you can force an FPS player to watch more than 5-10 minutes of cutscene per 60 minutes of gameplay. I know I'm pulling that ratio out of you-know-where, but does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Usually the ratio of gameplay to cutscenes in FPSs is quite high in favor of gameplay.

Ummmm errrr are all the cutscenes going to feature Rico:cry: oh god no

Killzone 3: Guns of the Helghast.

Hopefully this will lead to a good story.soulitane

oh my god that sounds terrible hopefully you can skip them...:?

Hopefully this will lead to a good story.soulitane

And a much longer campaign mode.

Fyi everyone: Halo Reach had over 60 minutes of cutscenes and cinematics and I didn't hear anyone complaining then.

I'm only kidding. I'd love to see more games with massive amounts of cut scenes like MGS4, as long as the story is good & the ratio for actual gameplay is considerably higher than that of the cut scenes. As has been said, it's a similar amount to Reach & I would have never have guessed there was over an hour of cut scenes in Reach.

...And are there really cut scenes in MGS4 that are an hour+ long?

This is promising. Also glad to hear their cutting back on the language. I know- there's no logic to it, but I'd prefer it not be there (proceeds to trudge through bloody chunks of dead Helghan).

[QUOTE="antifanboyftw"][QUOTE="Twin-Blade"] oh please. mgs4 had single cutscenes that were longer than the entire 70 minutes of them in this game. [QUOTE="Mrmccormo"]

Sounds great! Can't wait to get my hands on it, looks like it's going to surpass 2 and I loved it.

Nah people tend to exaggerate, the longest cutscene was the end/credits. I prefer games with rich stories and more cutscenes. I wish more games would do this. It's crazy to hear some people ask if the cutscenes are skippable. Why would you skip them?!?!!:x

Killzone 3 is going to try to take itself seriously then with its story? Oh noes.Stevo_the_gamer

i hope it is designed like Uncharted 2, in the sense of the story. The cutscenes were well placed, and seemed interesting. The story trailer for KZ3 is epic btw

Sony fans are so casual. They watch movie, not play games. Metal Gear, God of War, Heavy Rain. Killzone 3. CASUAL!

Oh God I hope Rico dies at the beginning of the game.

killmovie 3 confirmed :roll:

People actually think this could be a good thing?

It better be CG because Killzone 3 graphics arent exactly the best for cutscenes. Looks cool in game.

I say this is a good thing.

70 minuets isn't as long as people think.

Well, this is good. IT is now on my list.

Well made long cuts scenes are freaking awesome.Just look at MGS games.

Meh it's just about as long as MGS4's ending.

They are going to make Rico sacrifice himself to save humanity in order for him to redeem himself for constant failures. And I still wont care.
