Killzone 3 4-player co-op & cinematic deaths confirmed

FirstPlay, the digital magazine for European PSN, has given us some tasty updates regarding Killzone 3. First up is the confirmation of 4 player-coop, and the introduction of a new feature, “Cinematic Deaths.”(confirmed a few days ago)

The inclusion of a co-op mode has been rumored for a while, but the preview revealed, “we do know that Guerrilla is working on a special objective-based 4-man co-op mode to go with the standard 2-player stuff.”

For instance, a Helghast drop ships struck by a barrage of W.A.S.P. projectiles doesn’t have to simply drop out of the sky; the force of impact can tear off the ship’s stabilizers, causing it to bank and spiral wildly out of control before slamming into the ground with a massive explosion. Of course, this also makes it more difficult to predict where the drop ship will come down, as Sev finds out:

Another cool example is the jetpack trooper: if the player keeps firing on the jetpack’s fuel tank it will eventually rupture and ignite, propelling the screaming trooper skyward in a ball of flame. As the fuel burns up, the trooper’s charred remains fall back to the ground – and, if the player’s lucky, onto the heads of other Helghast soldiers or nearby oil drums.
