so the graphics in KZ2 really wowed us back in the day *1 year ago*...but now since the dev team have got the graphics down, will they push more towards a greater gamplay? or will they stick to the graphics?

*note* yes, the gameplay in KZ2 was amazing, but i mean if its going to be pushed upon even further

Dude, no offense, but given their history in releasing Killzones, KZ3 probably won't be out until 2014 at the earliest (KZ1 released 2004, KZ2 demoed at E3 2005, KZ2 released 2009, KZ3 MAYBE demoed at E3 2010, KZ3 released 2014)

That's a huge time to go in video game terms. 4 years ago everyone thought the Wii was going to be a distant 3rd place. For all we know, by 2014, all three console manufacturers will have gone bankrupt, and been replaced by Ubisoft's console, which only plays 'Just Dance'. Or maybe the FPS will be in decline as a genre, and Sony won't feel the need to push out 'Halo Killers'. It's a crazy world.

KZ3 devs will need to push graphics, because KZ3 will be a PS4 title, and will be competing with Halo 5 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 on the X-Box 720. That's my point, basically.

both, simple as that really.

That's unrealistic - they now have the engine in place and development will now move at a much faster pace.

I don't see it being mutually exclusive that gameplay and graphics can't be in the same game. However they'll probably have to step up their game considerably as they will be compared to Halo: Reach in terms of gameplay and Crysis 2 in terms of graphics and the former is a much easier battle to win than the latter, especially with PC GPUs pushing north of 3Tflops by the end of the year.

gameplay - KZ3 is using the exact same engine as KZ2. so if they dont work more on gameplay then KZ3 wont be much different than KZ2

kz2 took alot of time because they did the engine from scratch and it did pay up, i never seen shaders so advance as this , they will probably focus on gameplay, graphics it's going to be improved but i guess more in interaction with shaders and variety in settings rather a bump in textures and polygons.

Any game of this caliber, from a high profile studio within Sony Computer Entertainment World Wide Studios is going to push both. The graphics will be good weather GG puts in the effort or not. What it comes down to is, Sony will put people in place to make this game look good. As far as gameplay goes. Killzone 2 is still the FPS to beat for gameplay as far as I am concerned. No other game feels as good from the way the gun moves to the feel of pulling the trigger.

I think we will see the graphics increases between 2 and 3 help gameplay in a lot of ways. I think the improvment in streaming methods will allow for bigger levels, which in turn will allow for more varied gameplay. I believe vehicals will become more promonet with the bigger levels, and pehapps we will even get some airship combat.

From a gameplay/controls stand point. The game will support Move, the game will be better on Move, Don't be retarded, Play the game with the Move.

Gameplay >>>>> Graphics always.

I reckon that Guerilla would spend more time making sure the gameplay is good enough to satisfy gamers without much of the bad word of mouth because graphics is one of the best ever seen on consoles and Killzone 2's most criticized element was gameplay and controls so I'm sure they'd at least pay more attention to those.

Also they better be adding CO OP!!!
