Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

I wonder if this game's multiplayer will be like the previous one where at the start there were a lot of people who played it and then vanished after two weeks because of BF and COD.

Perhaps some will leave.

Killzone will require more skill on the PS4 because there is no aim assist. Some people won't like that. I for one, will love it. It will put people on even ground.

By the way here is some new footage of the single player campaign.

That's what i'm concerned about. I already bought it. I hope people don't drop it after a week.

This is exactly why I will be sticking around. This and BF are going to be my MP games.

That's (^) confirmed?

Had I known that I would have bought it at Target this afternoon, they had tons of copies of this game and some dance game for the PS4, everything else was sold and gone.

If there truly is no Aim assist, I will buy it after work so I can dominate and rack me up some kills.

Confirmed, that's why you see people missing their targets badly on most gameplay videos available around the web

Yes. GG devs said they wanted a skill based game that would be fun to pick up and play, but take years to master.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

Some reviews:

IGN - 8.0

Shadow Fall represents the Killzone series’ coming-out party – out from being a plodding, gray war shooter through hours of bland, linear corridors. Now, it’s something else entirely. Its single-player campaign suffers from some AI issues and dabbling in non-shooter gameplay it’s just not good at, but it’s still an enjoyable romp that challenges you to really think about how you’re approaching each fight. And then there’s multiplayer, as hardcore as ever but with a level of accessibility that will allow Killzone’s online community to grow and flourish for some time to come.

There’s never been a better time for everyone to be paying attention to the Killzone franchise, because Shadow Fall is a step in an all-new, very welcome direction.

Eurogamer - 7

It sets up an open-ended tactical shooter in a cynical world of sci-fi realpolitik - and then bottles it, taking the easy escape route of another suicide mission into empty spectacle. There's a lack of confidence here that contrasts starkly with Guerrilla's dazzling, sure-footed command of the new hardware. It's a game that any new PlayStation 4 owner will be proud to show off - but it won't be one they remember by the time PS5 rolls around.

Polygon - 5.0

That absence of meaningful evolution might be Killzone: Shadow Fall’s biggest sin. For all the next-gen bluster of its visuals and the repeated blunt-force attempts to ram a message home, Guerilla’s first shot on the PS4 retreads shooter cliches, and poorly. In a launch lineup crowded with shooters, Killzone: Shadow Fall sits at the bottom.

Joystiq - 3.5/5

Killzone: Shadow Fall loses its sheen at times, usually when pursuing moments that are cinematic but not sensible. As a shooter, it's better at thriving on eye-catching environments and supportive combat abilities that don't just come for free. It also can't help but blow up its pristine cityscapes before you get to know them, but that just goes with the territory, here on the border between good and great.

Gamespot - 7

As much as I enjoyed my online time with Killzone: Shadow Fall--and as much as I will enjoy lots more time with it, unlocking perks that allow me to personalize my weapons--I missed Killzone 3's jump pack, which brought a nifty nimbleness to the battlegrounds. I missed it in Shadow Fall's disappointing single-player campaign, too, which sorely needed a shot of adrenaline. Where I look back fondly on Killzone 2's finest single-player moments, the moments I recall here are those in which I wandered through corridors and rocky meadows wondering where the bad guys were. Luckily, Guerrilla Games remembered what drew me and many others to the front lines of online war, and it's here that Shadow Fall emerges from the rubble and flies into the electric skies.

Destructoid - 9

I like Killzone: Shadow Fall for its change of direction from previous series games, as well as its change of pace over other first-person shooters. Guerrilla has tried a few new things this time around, and should be commended as such. I welcome the almost sandbox-ish level approach, and the stealth segments did a nice job of breaking up the standard shooting action. It’s really nice when gameplay concepts win out over big set pieces and cinematic events.

Oh, and it’s beautiful. A stunner. Killzone: Shadow Fall is the game that will make you happy to own a PS4. This needs to be on your PS4 launch game list.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall

Kinda surprised by the scores, thought this night be the highest rated PS4 game at release. Oh well, still can't wait to play it.
