Killzone Shadow Fall | Full Forest level gameplay | Best looking game of show?

Didn't think I could get excited about Killzone but wow this looks pretty awesome. Graphically it looks incredible and the use of color is amazing. It's basically what I hoped Halo 4 would do to its campaign. They finally changed the structure by making things less linear and more open, while giving the player character more interesting abilities to play with. Definitely have this on my radar now.

mhh from all next gen shooters i have seen, beside cod ghost :lol, this is the least impressive one for me. Titanfall, BF4, Destiny and The Devision they all impressed me more

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Oh junior. That's the third post in this thread you've made knocking the game. I'm sure you have a bright future ahead of you.

Bright? - I think you meant short :p

Oh, sarcasm, I feel ya ;)
 
It is more open but also looks boring. The zipline just seems like another mode of traversal. The slowdown gimmick doesn't belong in a Killzone game. Killzone 2 funneled you down corridors but also had you up against smart and resourceful AI. This lacks the overwhelming intensity of that game

For god's sake man have you played the game? Maybe they're choosing distinctly different environments to show off how varied the game is, and for wow factor? You need to chill!!

I thought it looked incredible.

You may be right, I don't remember. Maybe it's just the upper class on Helghan that didn't need them.

Yeah, the upper class did not need them because they were born inside and still lived inside which is kinda like being a nobel and stayed normal humans from the looks of it unlike the common soldiers that we see who got mutated genes over the generations until they adapted better to the environment (Heck, Stahl was smoking cigs throughout KZ3 lol). The elite soldiers in KZ1 don't have anything covering their nose. I guess it does differ by how genetically mutated some have become and some adapted better than others.

I just wish I could find the page that had it all though. Oh well.

This area doesn't come off as well as the original reveal in the city center. The scale there really helped and it seemed like the rendering effects were more mature in that area. But some of the new gameplay elements shown here are encouraging.

Disagree. The city may have had a shiny or two this didn't, but the gameplay here looks miles ahead of the reveal. I'd much rather play a better game with slightly less good but still great graphics than a mediocre one with all the bells and whistles.

I think KZ and SS are the best looking games of the show alongside Order

We are just talking launch and PS4 games are easily blowing away multiplats/xone games

this is a major phenomenon. Every abnormal quote is coming from noobs

This art direction reminds me of Halo 4 and it is a very aesthetically pleasing style. It really pops out at you and looks gorgeous.
 
Nice that they've opened it up, and the new abilities (firing the rope, your little handy robot) seem nice. I'm ok if it ends up being a bit of a next gen 1.5 experience - judged as such, i'm sure i'll love it. Hell, Resistance remains one of my favorite games of this gen, and that criticism was levelled at it 7 years ago.

I was watching the live demo that GS was responsible for. Let me get back to you with the 60fps trailer (which is odd because the game will be 30fps). Next gen bullshot= 60fps trailers?

Yeah that 60fps comment confused me as well. I got excited for a second.

I also saw the pop in as well when I was watching it on youtube earlier. It was annoying. I'm really pumped for the game though. I like the changes that have been made to make it more open.

Problem is that all those more lighted environments makes the game look a little more like the others...

They said as you progress in the game, the environments and feel take on a progressively more familiar feel for traditional Killzone games, and is darker and more in line with what players have expected from the series

but honestly I think the style they have going right now already looks unlike other shooters, so hey

My only wish for graphics is that they add physics to the vegetation. The only game that has done this in a somewhat satisfying way is Assassins Creed: Black Flag.

Otherwise its looking like one of the best games shown at e3.

I'm very pleased with the open-level approach confirmation. A few of us were right in the other thread by suspecting a change in level design.

I just don't get it with everyone on Ubi's balls lately. Watch Dogs is totally uninteresting to me. This new game looks more interesting but I'm not seeing all of the "best graphics ever" claims at all. Watch Dogs looked like a transition title and this looks slightly better.

Killzone isn't really blowing me away either, but it seems to have more impressive shit going on in places at least.


edit: It's the color and 'grain' I bet. On Ubi's engine I mean.

Honestly, I thought the whole robot companion thing was actually pretty interesting. Does the relatively clean art style kind of remind anyone else of Vanquish just a tad bit? Or is that just me?

I was honestly shocked when they said there would be semi-large non-linear sections where you can choose what missions to do and in what order.

With the neat looking guns & gadgets I'm actually pretty interested in the gameplay now lol

Edit: Also is Killzone the only console shooter that's running at 1080p? Most of the other FPS's seem to be going for 720p 60FPS.


Collar Duty Ghosts and Titanfall are both 1080p/60fps

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...s-runs-at-1080p-and-60fps-on-xbox-one-and-ps4

Destiny is 1080p, but I am not sure if its 60fps

BF4 is 1080p/60fps on PS4, but I am not sure about Xbone

This is nice and all, but I really was hoping to see something more dark and bleak alongside intelligent AI like KZ2. Still hope for that I suppose, haven't seen anything on the Helghan side of the wall yet.

Also to those who say the gameplay looks boring, did any of the shooters at E3 impress you with gameplay?

Looks FANTASTIC, but I need to see more, and in better quality. It didn't blow me away, but I was very happy and felt it did next-gen plenty of justice.

The movement in Titanfall looks somewhat interesting, at least.

It looks great and I like the companion robot thing they've introduced, but I'm still not sold on the game until I see some MP info. I loved KZ2's clan features.

Mind blown, I honestly thought they would go with 720p for the sake of the framerate. On topic, this new Killzone footage looks fantastic. Surprised they didn't feature this level at the conference.

KZSF does look boring. Titanfall and The Division impressed me with gameplay.

Just lacks the amazing hit detection animations and blood effects from KZ2/3. Hopefully something they'll sort out before release.
 
AS someone who never played any of the ps3 killzones, i like the change in colour/style so that gives me some interest.

Seems like it might be abit too easy with the Drone companion and there wasnt alot going on in the trailer besides standard shooting so it was a little boring but its definetely on my radar
