If you had a chance to listen to the official PlayStation Blogcast this week, (How would you? You should be listening to our blogcast !), then you already know about Sony’s plan to release Killzone 3 multiplayer as a standalone free download on PSN next week. The multiplayer trial will be free for all PSN users but limited by a level cap. You will be required to purchase the full experience to unlock the skill tree and the full multiplayer mode (think Homefront demo). The full multiplayer experience will cost you $14.99 with no plans of releasing the single player campaign separately. On other News, Guerrilla Games co-founder and technical director Arjan Brussee will be leaving the company to join Dead Space developer. Visceral Games , working on a new unannounced “Exciting” IP.

Killzone 3 Multiplayer FREE Download Next Week

I wasn’t sure if I would be able to host a game night until now. So let’s try out the new maps : Junkyard & Stahl Arms. If your a PS+ Member you can get them for free! If your not you can snag them for $4.99. I know there has been some interest in a clan tournament. We just need a full team to promise they will show up at the appointed time for the match. I’ll look into this more tonight. Killzone 3 action will begin around 6 pm MST; I can play for at least 3 hours. When I invite you to the “PS3Blog.net Game Night” text chat, please join it. It makes it much easier to communicate quickly with everyone. If you’d like to join us, leave your PSN ID below. My PSN ID is xBerserker, but mention “KZ3 PS3Blog.net” in your PSN friend request message or I will not add you. If you would like to set up another time for a game night, you can arrange it in the PS3Blog.net Game Night Group. Here is a mini-recap from last weeks game night. We tried out a custom match which didn’t have very many settings. Pretty much map and game type only. We only did about 3 rounds of that and they moved on to Warzone & Operations. Had a ok turnout too. Here is all that attended that I can recall let me know if I missed you (I know I’m missing a couple people). Everyone gets 50 points for showing up. Jcmdaddy, Ace, BLOODYICECREAM, tech.

Killzone 3 Game Night | April 14th

According to the official Killzone.com Forums , the 1.07 patch will go live tomorrow April 6th, for all territories. With this patch, Phase one of two, announced Custom Game Patches, will be implemented. This first phase will allow a player to create a private match and determine settings, such as the “Game Mode”, the “Map”, and even the “Missions” and the “Mission Time” for Warzone game mode. To see what else is included in this patch, as well as some details for Phase 2 of the Custom Games Patch, hit the jump. Hey all, I know you want to be informed as much as possible. So I’m writing up the preliminary patch notes for Patch 1.07. Please Note: this is subject to change and we don’t know exactly when this will go live yet. I will inform you on that as soon as we can, but we are trying to roll this out in the first week of April. Patch 1.07 Contents list: Custom Games PHASE ONE for Clans and solo players – Explanation below Gameplay Bullet Damage and Faster Aim ribbon now unlock correctly Separate turn speeds for ADS on Primary weapons in Multiplayer Increased Accuracy ribbon effectiveness has been lowered Bullet Damage ribbon effectiveness has been lowered The 3rd person revive beam now shows correctly Bilgarsk Boulevard – preventing players getting stuck at spawn location Akmir Snowdrift – fixed a problem where the speaker object can fall beneath a piece of geometry Fixed a crash when joining a Guerrilla Warfare Clan match Blood Gracht – Fix for a hang when the Recon ability was used Functionality Fixed a crash while joining a Warzone game Player gets directed to multiplayer lobby when being kicked from game due to inactivity Adjustments to reduce the server load Exploit MAWLR Graveyard –Improved collision around one of the Capture and Hold locations Kaznan Jungle – Added a blocker around a tree to prevent player to use tree to jump out of the level Bilgarsk Boulevard – Removed invisible collision of S&D objectives in Guerrilla Warfare Bilgarsk Boulevard – Prevent players from accessing an advantageous position (above the ISA Base) and climb out of the level Single Player Campaign Scrapyard Shortcut – Mobile Factory – Fixed a hang to a red Debug screen upon the user reaching the Jetpack Troopers Menu Added a “Mute all” button Updated icons and text on the Medals statistics Fixed clipped text for moderator messages The Faster Reload ribbon now updates properly on the Personal statistics page The Increased Accuracy ribbon now updates properly on the Personal statistics page The Bullet Damage ribbon now updates properly on the Personal statistics page Fixes a hang when accepting a squad invite on the final results screen of an online game Fixed the Pause functionality in Botzone on the Class selection screen “Squad menu” is changed to “manage players” in the menu Move/Sharpshooter Button configuration improvements – Swapped L1/L2 grenade and aim Melee is now on the circle button Multiplayer – Aim Lock will now time out after one second Camera turn upped while using jetpack. Lowered for mounted weapons Explanation of Custom Games Custom Games will be rolled out in 2 patches. This one (1.07) and a future patch. We don’t know when this will be yet. PHASE ONE Phase One of Custom Games gives players the option to create unranked games with the choice of: Game Mode Map Missions (Warzone only) Mission Time (Warzone only) Invite Squad members Invite Enemy Squad Leader This gives players the ability to create private matches, and playing with and against friends or a rival clan for instance. People who don’t get an invite to these games won’t be able to join through matchmaking. PHASE TWO We still need to spec this out, so this is subject to change, but we are looking to add the options of choosing: More configuration options for missions in Warzone and Operations Adjustable kill count for Guerrilla Warfare Configurable Unlocks (choose which one you want to play with) Configurable Classes (choose which one you want to play with) Configurable Weapons, Abilities, Skills, Ribbons Friendly Fire On/Off Brutal Melee On/Off That’s it for now!

Official Review: MiniSquadron (minis)

Here is another great video showcasing the investment opportunity that you may get if you invest in Aperture Laboratories. As before Valve, in partnership with Aperture Science have released their third video showcasing the turret. Now keep in mind that these turrets are not only for the military, just look at the end of the video and notice how easily they can be setup to protect your loved ones. Maybe we should have our very own EdEN about investing in one of these bad boys, after all he just became a father! The forth and final video will be released sometime next week. Keep in mind that the game is coming out on the 19th of April, which is right around the corner. Oh and if you haven’t entered our Portal 2 contest , be sure to do so!

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is coming to PSN. This is the developer’s HD love letter to follow up the original 2009 release. The same artist that did Critter Crunch did the visuals for this bad boy. Landing on PSN April 12th! So, for $15, you’re getting a good chunk of RTS and puzzle adventuring. The hits just keep coming to PSN lately. Source: PSBlog

Here is a look at Star Drone, which hits today on PSN. Plus members: you may recall your getting this at a discounted $4.99 compared to the retail price of $7.99. PlayStation Move support included! 50+ levels sounds like it will be worth the money. 3D is also supported. Reminds me of those Japanese pinball games where you drop the ball in at the top of the machine and simply watch it bounce down. The ball is controlled by simple gestures with either the DualShock 3 or Move controller. Source: PSBlog

Star Drone on PSN Today

Uplink has you stealing the enemy data and returning it to your base. What makes it even more interesting is the fact that when you download said data, and begin returning it, everybody in the game can see your location. So, that is the rundown; get out there and redeem those codes! Source: PSBlog

Gameplay footage is from the viewpoint of Ace . Thanks for recording that Ace! He played really well as usual. Hung out in the PS3Blog.net PS Home Clubhouse for a few minutes before heading into battle. Had a really good turnout again, had a pretty full squad to start out.

Let me know and I’ll get your points awarded. Dean147, Jcmdaddy, Blackstaffer, Ace, Cazamalos, SicSemperTyranis. Everyone gets 50 points for coming. Ace gets 100 points for uploading gameplay footage! I won’t be able to host one this Thursday. But somebody else is welcome to host it that night or any other night for that matter.
