These two quotes bode well:


This is a big deal to me. I'm glad they're focusing on traversal and different approaches. Stuff like that is what separates good FPS from great ones.


I didn't realize that there were that many NPCs.

I felt that was blatantly hinted at in the first demo, where the player strafes left, looks at the enemies holding the typical "entrance," and then looks up at the wall he eventually climbs over.

Still, if it's just "you can enter this area head-on, or this one other way," it's nothing but a gimmick, in my opinion. Very hard to create a real sense of openness.

In the demo I couldn't tell if that was the only way through or not.

I just hope it's like Crysis where you can climb a lot.

I just hope they have more impressive looking environments. What they showed looked great, but didn't inspire me the way Deep Down did.

I expect the Helghast side of the wall to be very cool.

 

[B.O.O.M]

You know in the E3 demo, when you had to climb the wall on the side to flank the enemy, I wonder if instead you can just muscle your way through the front as well. Would make sense

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I think it's because Shadow Fall showed off great scale, but on the micro level the effect wasn't as impressive. Perhaps they didn't have enough time to polish that section, or they just chose a bad section to show off.

I hope that there are more intimate areas that show insane texture detail and lighting effects. Being in daylight sort of hurt, as I always felt Killzone looked its best at night.

In the lighting presentation they talked about a segment that has spotlights searching for the player so I bet that'll be at night.

I think the area shown in the demo was chosen because it was more vibrant than what the series is typically known for, plus the overview of the city was a perfect next gen money shot.

next gen volumetric fog please

 

[SniperHunter]

next gen volumetric fog please

I think volumetric fog is a waste of resources, that's why nobody uses it.

 

[BloodMoney]

I think volumetric fog is a waste of resources, that's why nobody uses it.

Perhaps... but it makes for some pretty compelling environments. Just imagine the dim glow of Helghast eyes in the distance.

Is it confirmed we will go over there?

 

[Man]

I just came upon one amazing Killzone 2 trailer I had almost forgotten about.

It's the Hit Response (system) trailer set to Flower Duet Opera music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYCu3enBXoo

Still glorious.

Awww yeaaa.

Speaking exclusively with OPM UK, Killzone Shadow Fall’s game director Steven ter Heide explained that the PS4 shooter will explain more about the Helghast mythology than in any previous game.

[SniperHunter]

great news, helgan always seemed too empty in both KZ2 and KZ3 (especially KZ2 since it took place in a city)

Nice. Have they ruled out a Helghast campaign or not?

Will they also be menacing in this game as opposed to just cannon fodder?

They were menacing in killzone 2...

 

[Blizzje]

Anyone know where I can find the highest quality gameplay video for this? Gamersyde has the teaser up, but I can't find a nice quality gameplay video anywhere.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

I thought the gameplay video from the official killzone channel on youtube was "acceptable" at 1080p (although not perfect), it's 371MB big:

You can download it via this site:

[Number45]

From earlier in the thread.

EDIT: Actually, that's not the full quality one. There was a 1GB version knocking about somewhere.

 

[Blizzje]

Once you've seen the press video (teaser) that clocked in at 1,1 gigs, it's hard to go back to inferior quality. Thanks though!

Dammnit was hoping for new screens or a new vid. But yea, I'm curious too. Wonder why it's from?

It looks like it's from a new screen or something, because I don't recall it being in any of the released footage.

I seriously hope so. The only time that the helghast mythos have been explored were in the KZ3 intro, and even then they were from KZ2 or only hinted some less known aspects of the Helghans (like forced worked, the manipulated ascension of Visari to power, people disagreeing with the government, etc.).

I hope they really do fulfill this promise, I really want this game to be good.

Do you get an uncompressed version of it, or is it the same quality as streaming through youtube?

it actually isn't lol.

this is actually the 720p raw quality vid sony released. It has the highest quality of all the vids from the second Kz demo released by GG. Even at 720p, the quality is glorious

Wow...thanks.

Is it possible this is real time?

Looks like they may have already started increasing the texture detail if so.

Pretty sure the big reveal is going to be that Garfield is behind the mask.

I think this is in-engine. The background looks the same from the reveal, as for the character model notice the wrinkles on the jacket present in the build that was running on 3gb ram, then compare the bottom one. I think it might be the updated in-game model.

 

[ThisWreckage]

So this isnt' going to be 60 fps? Disappointing, but I'm sure it'll be a great game.

the top one look bad but realized that its because the scene is all dusty and brown. Hopefully we will have a lot of scenes like the bottom.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Nice post, wishmaster.

Looks like it definitely is the updated model.

We should be in for a treat @ E3

 

[archnemesis]

I think very few franchises that were 30 FPS this generation will get next-gen sequels with 60 FPS.

 

[Callibretto]

with recent tweet that sony is pushing 60fps1080p for ps4 games, I wonder what the reaction here if ShadowFall got noticeable visual downgrade but have 60 fps instead at e3?
