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

Killzone 2 was awesome, Killzone 3 was a little generic from taking too many influences from other games (namely CoD). Apparently the multiplayer director from KZ2 is back for this one though? I think I heard that. I'm hopeful.

Killzone 2 was one of the gens best. Phenomenal, despite the admittedly clunky controls at the time
KZ3 was not good
But the MP designer of Killzone 2 is back
Killzone 2 multiplayer was the best online console FPS this gen for me, by quite a margin. Great online set up and infrastructure, great modes, love the pacing of the gameplay and overall rolling objective system, etc
I'll be interested again in this series if we get something similarly unique (in the current console space) out of Shadow Fall, but if its more Killzone 3.. I don't think I care that much.

Probably posted, but new to me: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2013/06/14/xbox-one-ps4-controllers/2424527/
Don't take this the wrong way, but I am so happy you're the minority. I don't kno how you talk about rocket spamfests but then somehow like the complete clusterfuck that 3s multi is, at least the rocket spam and just throwing down spawns next to an objective subsided in 2 overtime.

The compression is so fucking bad 
They definitely should have showed this off on stage as it looks amazing.

Sounds like a good use for the touchpad, actually.
From a singleplayer perspective - KZ2 was amazingly bad, the input lag was inexcusable and there was a whole host of other issues of collision detection and invisible walls. I might hear an argument for the blurry graphics of KZ2 on a stylistic preference (though I'd strongly disagree), but on gameplay KZ3 was far superior controlling and playing game, and the jetpack was simply fantastic.
The fact they made such progress on KZ3 in the gameplay department is the only reason I'm interested in this game. Though the story/characters were awful compared to KZ2 (though they were hardly good in that game either).

I actually liked the KZ2 single player better because the AI used and moved from cover in interesting ways. In KZ3 it felt like Call of Duty to me with a lot of shooting gallery type enemy placement. What I heard the Giant Bomb guys say about Shadow Fall having more open levels was promising (and different from the previous two games) but I wonder if that applies to the game in general.

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
Was not impressed with the forest gameplay level...to be honest i had to think a minute that this was not ps3 but for ps4. Im definitely in the PS4 bandwagon this coming gen..and i've always been a xbox fan more so than a playstation fan..but things have changed this time..im definitely buying a ps4 and by-passing the xone this gen but with that said...this KillZone footage did not impress me at all..in fact Crysis 3 on my high end rig makes this look rather drab imho. The first footage that came out for PS4 Killzone..the cloud city if you want to call it..did however looked impressive..but this forest area level is very average at best visually.

You like me, you really really like me!
I was a bit disappointed that there was noticeable pop in during the forest level gameplay. Hopefully that gets ironed out before release but I doubt it.

I agree it was less visually spectacular, but when you go to the edge of the cliff you can see the whole city rendered below, which is pretty impressive.

I dunno. Their games have always been technically impressive to me but the gameplay always seems to be bland. It isn't bad, it isn't great, its just there. I really want to like this game but I can't.
No.
Just no, please, don't judge the graphics of this game from these shots because they are terrible.
The game, in real life, look amazing. Sharp, full of details and really smooth.
Even a kid can understand this is not the graphics of the game and the screen capture are terribly compressed and low resolution.

You're still killing an organization of people who led an attack on your home planet first to murder all your families and breed a master race of humanity, yes.
Oh. Less interested.
Both K2 and K3 are pretty awesome.
K2 feel more chaotic and "heavy".
K3 is a lot more fluid, less chaotic but more "light" (but not CoDish).
In K2 you may build your class (awesome!)
In K3 there are less option.
K3 have the operation mode : http://killzone.wikia.com/wiki/Operations
Probably the best MP mode I ever played (at par with Battlefield Rush)
In the end K3 is a truly awesome experience because every class offer a very unique gameplay and you really need some skills to enjoy the game. The pace of the game, in every mode, is always awesome.
Btw, Killzone 3 have the best multiplayer maps.

You won't think that when you're playing it in 1080p. Or maybe YOU will. Even from these compressed vids i would never make that mistake.
I'm very excited to see the Helghast part of the city. The art ditector Misja Baas said he was most proud of that part

This is a fairly good analysis but I wouldn't be so quick to judge the maps. I love KZ2 MP and KZ3 MP despite what people may say. Except I've only enjoyed KZ3 MP in Botzone. It leads me to believe that KZ3 at its core isn't that bad but the developers failed to account for all the douche moves real human opponents will do. Several of the maps force you into choke points two feet out of your spawn so the game becomes essentially over. MAWLR Graveyard and The Boulevard map are really bad with this. They also have terribly placed tactical spawn positions that make them nearly impossible to capture once a couple enemies start camping the choke points. I'd say they started to fix this with the DLC, Salamun Market was pretty good (yes it's a KZ2 map but it used KZ3 mechanics and the spawns were well placed) and Lente Missile Base was exceptionally well done.

I don't worry too much about launch line up. Just gonna pick up 1-2 games anyway. Considering Sony's track record lately with the PS3, the PS4 line up will pick up later. Some 1st party devs are still finishing stuff up on PS3

It has Salamun market. Which they ruined with their shitty mechs.
Killzone 3 is not very easy contrary to people saying it's like CoD. It is so unforgiving. You lose a TSP you're in for a world of hurt. Just keeping a TSP is very difficult against good teams. That is not even looking at the objectives that are going on all around you.
The choke points can be brutal but you have the tools to clear them. The problem is amplified whenever you lose all TSPs' when playing with randoms since people get put off and just quit making the job even tougher.

Did we ever get direct feed of the E3 demo? Searching digital foundry and gamersyde here and coming up empty, can only find a short trailer that has 60 fps haha. I want to get a good proper look at the game.
