I was looking around and I saw that NPEA00321 [Killzone 3 MP] isn't on the compatibility list. It should be added together with the other KZ3 MP only games (NPUA70167 / NPJA00071)

I don't really know about the compatibility because my CPU is an old 3rd gen I7 (i7-3635qm, no wonder it doesn't work) and it just gives a black screen and crashes, maybe other people can test it....
It does show a fps counter but it is frozen. and when I play with the settings it sometimes shows compiling shaders and then also freezes.
Tested both on Vulkan and OpenGL
Most of the time used default settings.
Gfx: Nothing | Sound: Nothing | Status: Nothing

Installed the game trough the folder method (Installed PSN game from Hdd0/game to the drive of the computer) and pkg method (Installed PSN game converted back to pkg using PS3 Game extractor) and both with their .rap files.

Sorry, this report is not valid, this game is not in the "Nothing" category. It seems like your hardware is too weak/old for RPCS3.

as I tested it, I got the same effect as above? can you move to the "intro" thread?

Needs a proper report, which I don't have the time to do right now. Feel free to do one though.
I was able to get Ingame, graphics were broken but I didn't try changing any settings as I was just quickly checking if it booted or not.

I bought a new laptop and first had problems that caused the same errors but I started from scratch:
I re-copied the game from the PS3 to my new laptop.

Tested multiple profiles:
1: used all default settings but OpenGL is enabled.
The game works sort of. 
The intro/menu, 2D elements and sound are perfect but going ingame only gives me the HUD elements and sound. It shows 3 grey zones and White rectangles which is the skybox I think.
Example: Screenshot 1

2: All default but some changes, this time with Vulkan using the RTX 3070
SPU block size: Mega / safe (have the same performance/ effect)
Additional settings: 
Write color buffers: true (This is important, if this is off the game doesn't show anything except hud and menu)
Multithreaded RSX: true
Advanced: Relaxed ZCULL sync
The game works (Example: Screenshot 3but sometimes shows artifacts on the screen in diffirent colors (Example: Screenshot 2)
FPS is low (around 10-25 fps ingame, 30-60 in menu/loading screens
The menu sometimes shows broken text, maybe a shader compiling fault, but after restarting it's fine.

Turning off anti-aliasing gives a little bit better performance but it isn't really noticable.
