Killzone: Shadow Fall

[Blzer]

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

In a nutshell. Team based, with a best of seven game mode called "warzones." This mode has random mission based objectives ( search and destroy, tdm, capture and hold, assassination, capture the flag, etc). It is wonderful. The guns have a weighty feel to them, the latter is what turns lot of people away. It never bothered me.

The weighty feel is the most awesome feel I've had in an FPS game. I think this is the only developer that "gets it" when it comes to FPS, actually.

This would be the game I would get for PS4 if I didn't already have the totally awesome Vita version, but for the sake of variety I would probably consider switching it up as well.

The IGN video review said that they actually took a bit of the weighty feel out of Shadow Fall.

The thing I like about it is how everything is unlocked from the beginning and theres no aim assist or unlocks. Its all skill based from the start. The DLC being free is just icing on the cake.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

The problem I have is that they seem to kill this game that they let other FPS get away with. Example cod ghosts has a scene that come directly from mw2 but that doesn't seem to get penalized in the review score. Polygon got ghosts a 7. While this game gets a 5. Peculiar.

Which is the main reason I rarely let reviews determine my thoughts on purchasing games.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

Online sounds awesome. Every keeps saying it's more about skill than how much you're able to play the game. Haven't heard that kind of philosophy since Halo 3.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

Wow, quite surprised at some of those scores.

From what I can deduce most of the criticism is directed toward the single player, but mostly praise for the MP. That is where I will spend the bulk of my time.

This from the Eurogamer review about the MP.

Single player also got a lot of flack in the previous two games and I enjoyed the single player quite a bit.

I'm actually still looking forward to the single player as well. The little bit that I've seen looked good to me.

I hope there is some reference to KZ3 due to how the game ended.

Not really feeling this one so far. Will give it some additional time though.

I'm enjoying the online. Very smooth.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

Can somebody who has the game do me a favor? Please let me know if there is a "legacy" thumbstick control option. It is where the left stick is used to move, and the right stick is used to look (up/down) and strafe (left/right). I'd love to get the game, but I can't play FPS's without this control scheme.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

Nope. No legacy control. Only two control options and it just changes what the triggers do. At least that's all I can see.

That's disappointing, thanks for checking for me.

They've never had Legacy control, unfortunately. Don't know why they don't include that option. Neither does Battlefield. Call of Duty always had (until the Vita version, made by different developers), but does it still have it? Not sure.

Hope you guys are enjoying this one!

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

I played a bot match earlier since the PSN was down and it was a blast. Now you can set the Warzone match as a best on nine game modes instead of a best of seven.

Love the aiming, you have to earn every kill. Game runs smooth and looks amazing.

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
