With E3-related festivities scheduled to kick off just over a month from today, the anticipation must be killing you. You, of course, are Sebastian Downie of Guerilla Games, creator of the Killzone series. Based on that E3 2005 trailer and ensuing mixed reception from footage of the game shown at GDC earlier this year, expectations for the PLAYSTATION 3 iteration of the shooter are sky high.

So, knowing that you'll be picked apart by every Sony anti-fanboy and studied with microscopic precision by the media, how you feelin'?

Excitement with an underlying: "OH MY GOD WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!" I am sure there are a hundred developers around the globe feeling the same way right now though. Everyone wants their game to play look and sound perfectly when the public first get to see it. If you are working on an AAA Next Gen beast of a game or something for mobile phones you want to make a good impression on people. And if you have the baggage that we have we have to give it that extra little bit. Hopefully it will all go brilliantly and we'll shut up even some of the most ardent critics.

Yes, baggage. Shame about that. Don't worry, Guerrilla, I'm going to do my best to give it a fair shake. In fact, maybe I'll whack my skull with a hammer right beforehand, try and knock a bit of that CG trailer memory out before we see it. Michael McWhertor
