In Killzone 3 trek je als speler wederom ten strijde tegen de Helghast, maar buiten de schermen om zal er ook nog een tweede oorlog uitgevochten. Ontwikkelaar Guerilla zal namelijk agressief op gaan treden tegen hen die door middel van de beruchte jailbreak voordelen willen behalen ten nadele van hun medespelers.
Producer Steven ter Heide zei dat de recente aanvallen op de PlayStation 3 grote zorgen veroorzaakten bij de studio, maar dat ze van plan zijn hardhandig op te treden.
“The ability for one person to ruin people’s games is not a good prospect obviously, so we’re working with Sony on the moderation side. We’re looking at people misbehaving, being able to follow reports against those so that’s all been taken care of – and we’re working with Sony to see, even more aggressively, what kind of things are happening.But at the same time we have to step up as developers and say, ‘OK what are the holes in our game, what is the data, can we analyze that and see where the problems might be?’ We can look at the leaderboards and the stats that most people are playing with and say, ‘This doesn’t look right. Can we look into that and see what’s happening?’
That’s the reality now, we have to keep patching the game to make sure we keep getting one over the hackers.”
