Support NeoGAF

[Rebel Leader]

Just pre-ordered the game

 

[Himself]

Sony continuing doing everything right.

Seriously. Especially with the Killzone franchise! Thought I swore it off forever after 3...

Mercenaries and Shadows Fall looking great.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Sony you won. I am finally diving into the Killzone pool. The MP options are insane, and I have to support this method of MP DLC. It is the best way to handle it, so bravo!

 

[NullPointer]

Halo Killer confirmed.

*nods approvingly*

 

[Portugeezer]

Well that's good as PS+ is required for online play.

 

[Raymo]

Makes sense to me. First party funded game. They want people to buy those PS+ subscriptions to play multiplayer.

 

[TrojanBlade]

Great news about the maps ...

you can pick the number of players (4-24)

NOOOO!!! just 24 players!!! :/ I was hoping they would go bigger or at least 32 players. Disappointing

 

[makingmusic476]

They could view this as a sort of loss leader to convince people losing interest in multiplayer to resub to ps+. Not much incentive for a third party to do this.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Good stuff. Charge all you want for armor and weapon skins and EXP boosts and crap. DON'T CHARGE FOR MAPS.

 

[Erasus]

Damn nice!

 

[NullPointer]

Good stuff. Charge all you want for armor and weapon skins and EXP boosts and crap. DON'T CHARGE FOR MAPS.

With you except for xp boosts. Charging for that stuff just extends the grind and keeps the playing field very uneven.

I don't mind unlocks for equipment/perks if the starting player starts with the best options and unlocks more tailored options over time. But I don't want to start the game with nothing but a basic gun and have to tackle heavy armored high explosive wielding teams and invisible snipers. That's just being the fish in a barrel.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Please have Operations mode...Please have Operations mode.

I know I mentioned this earlier, but this deserves a quote because fuck yeah, Operations!

 

[Garrett 2U]

That is awesome

 

[Tambini]

Excellent, how it should be

 

[Strike]

Okay, now that is a good deal.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

so leveling up works like Borderlands 2's bad ass ranks basically. i... kind of like this...

All guns are available from the start.

 

[VanWinkle]

4-24 players? Customizable and shareable playlists? Free DLC maps? This sounds amazing.

 

[NullPointer]

All guns are available from the start.

Am liking this more and more.

So do they lock anything? Aesthetic stuff? Perks/Skills/Powers?

 

[JawzPause]

well this seals the deal

 

[hal9001]

Great news.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

This has just dramatically increased value of this game to me. An excellent move from Sony. Getting a piece of the FPS cake could prove vital to their efforts, especially in NA.

 

[SiRatul]

Looks nice and free dlc is awesome. I'll probably get it when it's a bit cheaper.

Bummer that it's only 24 players. Why not 32? Even KZ2 had 32.

 

[zewone]

Awesome news.

 

[Orayn]

Welcome back to something that was lost this gen, console gamers. It's pretty radical.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

All guns are available from the start.

Wait seriously!?

It's like they went in my mind and heard every complaint I had about online MP.

 

[Wolfenstein7]

This is huge.

 

[TimeEffect]

Abilities seem unclear-- probably locked? Check out the link in OP.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Damn, all weapons available? They really DO want some of BF/CODs fanbase, holy shit.

 

[firehawk12]

What is this? 1990s PC Gaming?!

 

[SniperHunter]

this is how it should be! Looks like they are learning from Valve

 

[meppi]

Holy crap! Not having to unlock weapons and getting map packs for free?
They are actually doing something good with the Killzone franchise....now I'm getting scared...

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This almost assuredly guarantees this will be one of my launch purchases.

 

[Loudninja]

So we know the game has 22 weapons really good amount I say!

 

[TacticalFox88]

Damn, all weapons available? They really DO want some of BF/CODs fanbase, holy shit.

Based Guerrilla Gods

 

[FACE]

The way it should always be.

I may not like Guerilla's games, but I applaud this decision.

 

[Proelite]

Halo, BF4, and COD here is your new daddy.

 

[Violater]

This is huge.

HUUUUGEEE

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Jesus. This is amazing

 

[R3TRO]

Nice

 

[NullPointer]

Every month further justifies my Killzone/PS4 edition pre-order.

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT???????!!!!!!!!!

Damn this is amazing.

 

[Acrylic7]

So there are only 3 classes and they are already available from the go?
That doesn't sound right.

 

[kasane]

All unlocked from the get-go? FINALLY SOMEONE WITH A SOUL DOES THIS.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I am so glad that I pre-ordered this. I need to make sure that my brother buys it as well. These types of decisions deserve consumer support.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Well looks like I'll support them and buy Killzone then, awesome.

 

[Asd202]

Makes sense to me. First party funded game. They want people to buy those PS+ subscriptions to play multiplayer.

Just like Halo.

 

[Violater]

Imagine had games like warhawk gone this route way back when.
This ensures some long legs for the game, you shouldn't see it traded in much at all.

 

[Steroyd]

Pre-order accepted.

 

[paperheart]

:O

I was already planning on getting this, but this news is just icing on the cake. So thrilled about this.
