Thank you GG! This is great news. Now the waiting game begins for my ps4 kz bundle.

Since Eric Boltjes is back for this one, it should be stellar. He was lead designer for KZ2, left during kz3, and is now back for shadow fall.
I played KZ2 a lot. 3 not so much.
Yea! I am still waiting on reviews, but this past week has really won me over hard. This is shaping up to be an absolutely fantastic title to launch next gen
Depending on how these challenges are implemented, I will be all over that shit.

60fps for the MP plz
I saw that Gamersyde video of Yoshida playing online at 60fps - looked so damn smooth! And good.

I think it is a lot to do with how the press reacts to such games. Nearly every single press person was like okay more KZ, next. Yet a CG teaser of Halo, oh boy! I think Sony has a very hard time generating pre-release buzz with their games among the English speaking press. Even The Last of Us was getting some ho hum comments and such prior to release. It feels like a lot people make up their minds on games well before they even picked up the controller.
Hopefully that changes throughout next gen. It is promising hearing Infamous SS get a lot of buzz, even from places that didn't even bother playing the first 2.
For all 60fps fans it'sgood news that both Drive club devs and KZ devs have come out and said they're targeting 60fps. Even if they don't reach that goal, it's clear sony has stressed this going forward after seeing the response out there to it.
I think KZ has a good shot though, it's still a ways out and it's already hitting 60 at different points, Drive club is another story.

I'm pleased. MP should be even better thanks to the higher fps.
Sony are winning me over with their exclusives now.
Drive Club PSN+ Edition for free, upgrade to full version for cheap and also get 3 months PSN+ for free
Killzone Shadowfall more open and tactical single player, 60FPS Multiplayer, all future DLC free
Rime looks like my type of game
inFamous Second Son just keeps on looking better and better every time they show it.
Res0gun looks great plus it's free with PSN+
Planetside 2 looks like a blast and it's F2P

I do agree with you, as swapping framerates is really horrible. The game itself is better off with the multiplayer at 60fps though. It really is hard to compete when your competition has a huge reach over you, but that gap is closed now. Hourly the next one will be 60fps both ways.

So it's true... The gamerysde video from Gamescom clearly showed Shadow Fall running with an unlocked framerate that could hit 60fps.
I guess they'll keep it that way -- just don't expect a locked 60fps.

Great news! Love that 60fps feel. I will get this day 1. Is it too much to hope for 4player v bots offline play? I am tired of cod:blops being my only option when freinds come over.

Weight was not a feature. It was a side effect and led to alot of bad press.

I was worried about the multiplayer at first, but this seems pretty awesome and the fact that they're focussing more on challenges than XP is something I really like.
One of the things I am going to miss is the weigth of the control, which I already missed in KZ3 as well. But if the game is as good as I think it looks, that'll make up for that for me.

Might end up on Xbone with their opening up to indies.
And yeah, its a fun time. Played some of the PC version and looking forward to some quality time with it on the PS4.

60fps and weight are two completely different things.
Killzone 2 did have an intentional sense of weight.
Killzone 2's "weight" was a direct result of input lag, which a lower fps does contribute to.

I just hope that they're targeting an enjoyable experience.

IF they can do 60 FPS in the MP, then why not the SP?
Isn't the MP more intensive and draining on a systems power?

Yes, it does actually look fun. First and foremost. Then it looks as good as anything unveiled for next gen and we're a few months from launch. Want to see the SP.
The latest patched version of Killzone 2 actually has an option to turn of that artificial weight/lag.
/edit: nevermind, just saw that the article is not the one that I anticipated and actually talks about the patched version of KZ2.
Why not expect locked 60fps? They said that's what they're targeting, which means they aren't at that point yet, whichs means what we are seeing today isn't what they want by launch. And the fact they're getting in that ballpark in this Gamescom build means they could get to that locked 60fps by launch.
I was playing both KZ2 and 3 last week. They both have weighty controls intentionally, even in high precision mode. Same with Mercenary and several people are saying SF is the same. Framerate and weight are unrelated.

Title is very misleading.

No, that's to reduce the amount of deadzone in the analog sticks
The title was chosen on the basis of the original article that didn't mention the multi- or single-player.
This. Wish he was there for KZ3, would have came our much better.
Yeah, needs to be changed to reflect that it's just for multiplayer.
I'll send a PM to a mod.
30fps in SP will allow them to turn all the bells and whistles up to 11. Plus, SP is generally much more controlled and therefor easier to "lock in" at a target framerate. Aiming for 30fps in MP means it could drop to the 20's, while aiming for 60fps means it could drop into the 40's-50's, which is much more bearable in fast paced online action.

I don't think there's any co-op in the game at all? I've not heard anything that suggests there is. I feel your pain, I wouldn't mind some off-line co-op for when my Nephew's comes round.

After the last trailer and stuff I became a lot more interested in this game. The abilities and stuff look really cool, all of the customization looks great, and the game is gorgeous.
Now I hear MP may be 60FPS...
If that 'weight' thing is absent from MP, I will probably get this over BF4 now.
