Cash Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Killzone 3 dev explains the ups and downs of 3D technology Killzone 3 is coming in 3D. Now this isn't a surprise but it's due to blaze a trail for future First Person Shooters using the technology to further immerse you in the world. Killzone's Guerrilla Games, considered rendering every bullet in 3D because it 'looked incredibly cool' flying overhead but apparently the reality of such a venture was super-tricky. This according to the game's producer, Steven Ter Heide, who we recently quizzed to find out about the intricate trials and tribulations of working with 3D tech. So read on to find out how 3D is used in development and why Guerrilla Games see it as more than just a passing fad... What additional challenges does a developer face when producing a game in 3D? We can’t speak for other developers but for us it was pretty straightforward. Our content already was fully 3D, as in that the whole world we create already is fully realised in 3D. Everything has depth to it already. On the technology side, we of course have to increase performance in a smart way as we now have to render everything twice, once for each eye. The biggest things we came across were design issues we had not seen before, things like HUD elements or especially the crosshair, where do these ‘live’ on the screen. We have to take depth into account and these unnatural objects now need to feel natural and sit comfortably at the right depth not to become jarring. How tempting is it to overdo the 3D effects - like having tons of stuff flying out of the screen into the players face? Haha, that’s always a temptation. At one point someone on the team asked if we could render all the bullets flying around because it was incredibly cool to have these fly overhead. The sheer number of bullets flying, of course, proving a little more than just impossible. More on the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 umm that looked pretty boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praveer Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Just hope we get a wider FOV in this one.....this was the only thing which I hated in KZ2. umm that looked pretty boring Killzone's MP is not meant to look flashy, even if you see an awesomely edited montage of KZ2 you'll find it boring when compared to other games. Its not about looks its about substance & that is something which the game definitely has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like Noctis said, it appeals to fans and I guess I'm not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
