I guess it's all downhill from here.
Most of the time60fps in mp. 30 fps in spI haven't been following the media for this game outside of YouTube, so I thought I'd ask - is this 60fps?
This is probably my most anticipated launch title for the PS4. I'm really keen to see how they improve it compared to the first three.
Phenomal?

Fuck, spoiled in the first paragraph.
Not really sure what "stupid" levels means.
All too often, especially in the forest level, enemies and their well aimed attacks draw me in the wrong direction. We follow the sound of gunfire, take out the enemy and progress. As conditioned by 20 years of action games. But several times it turns out that we should have moved in the opposite direction to set off bombs in a downed freight ship (or similar tasks), before moving on towards the spot the enemy were guiding us to. At times it gets really weird when you have to go back, perform some seemingly menial task, return to the previous position and push a button that wasn't there at first. It breaks the illusion.
The Warzone mode allows us to completely tailor our multiplayer experience, and do away with all the Call of Duty-inspired modernities, but we would rather have seen something more original. Fewer maps, fewer teams, no upgradable weapons or gear, no currency to buy stuff with after each match. Things we see in every game. With that rant out of the way, Shadow Fall's multiplayer is well crafted from start to finish, and we recommend it for those looking for a sci-fi take on the Call of Duty formula.
Since this is the first next-gen exclusive we're reviewing you're probably curious about the visuals. For this purpose we've compared it side-by-side with some of the best looking games on the market including Battlefield 4, Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 on PC. Only Crysis 3 beats Shadow Fall on technical merits on ultra. Crysis 3 wins out thanks to its higher resolution and better textures.
So, graphics > gameplay.

When Shadow Fall is at its best it's atmospheric, exciting, gorgeous, scary, cool, challenging and full of top of the class balance between recoil, rate of fire, enemy patterns, animation and environmental design. But when it doesn't come together it can be one of the worst experiences we've had in years.feels like a nightmare that lasts an eternity. It's one of the worst sequences we've experienced in a game of this type. And this is where the problem with Shadow Fall lies. Guerrilla has been trying a little too hard, and it's noticeable that they have been pushed to make a deadline. Combat is sometimes poorly choreographed.The level where you jump from a crashing space pod wearing a Wing Suit, only to have to navigate your way through skyscrapers that are crashing down,
"Phenomenal framerate"
Aw yiss.
Phenomal is my new favourite word.
8/10 is good. Anyone know when the floodgates are going to open and we'll be getting the video reviews on this?

The campaign swings from genius highs to frustrating, horrendous lows. Thankfully the highlights are more frequent than the moments that had us screaming with rage.
Two points higher than I expected.
Reviewing games is tough."superlatively stupid"
"phenomal"
Like the Shadowranger you play as is actually Rico or what? Serious spoilers?
I wonder if there will ever be a game where the embargo ISN'T broken. Yeesh. Our review will be live in about an hour, like everyone else's.
