Killzone Shadow Fall Review Thread

I laughed at the Eurogamer quotes about Killzone 1, considering they absolutely shit over that game back when it first came out. Gave it 5/10 I believe. Speaking of which, who didn't see the Polygon review coming a mile off?

Anyways, was expecting mostly 8s for Shadow Fall and that seems to be the most common score so far. Sounding good :)

Never been so sure of my Xbox preorder now..

Gun be gud when the Xbone reviews start appearing :)

Not surprised Killzone has always been a franchise that doesn't live up to it's potential.

I'm glad that reviewers are being critical for once, especially on story elements. I just wish they'd do it across the board on all games.

sounds good to me. Tactical shooter, multiple ways to approach each fight - thats all good. Bottling it at the end doesn't sound good but lets hope they get more time with shadowfall 2

Polygon, how can they do this with a straight face? They should be banned from metacritics.

To bad they don't have someone like Jeff Gerstmann to blow this shit up.

lol @ Kotaku and Polygon. Reviews aren't worth shit.

Eurogamer and Gamespot though. Hmmmm...

"playing" dumb? unpossible
So how come this is the only competitive FPS reviewed on the SP portion alone? Why is barely anyone talking about the MP?
 
Are there spoilers in these reviews? Be nice to know this before I start checking them out. It would be awesome if a spoiler tag could be added beside each review. :)

The Polygon and Eurogamer scores are about what I expected. An Edge 6 is right around the corner, surely. Sony needs to stop funding Guerilla's tripe.

What do you expect?

It's a Killzone game, of the previous three games I have played, I have enjoyed none of them. This just another Killzone game sprinkled with some launch title glitter, and the scarcity of other games at launch has built the hype about this one.

Is this the part where people justifiably point out that 1080p really doesnt make a good game it turns out? (not that it's bad, just that it isnt the next gen of shooters) still good reviews if it's hovering around a 7/8 of course :)
 
What did COD get from Polygon?

I do not read reviews for my ability to decipher how good games would be for me, but something about a 5 sounds just well...

the eurogamer review is very well written. it made me excited for the game despite the issues it articulates. it's a shame if the non-linearity is only in a few parts of the game like it suggests though.

Jesus... the Vita game was brilliant, but just short. I was hoping for a longer but similar campaign here.

If it is, I'll be very happy regardless...

Edit: From the IGN review, that's exactly what it sounds like. Vita campaign style with double the length. I'm stoked!

These reviews in general are meaningless but Eurogamer reviews are some of the worst in the business. I really wouldn't put much stock in anything they say.

Sounds like most of them only played a couple hours of MP, but completed the campaign. So there's that...

By the way, 12-15 hour campaign? Was not expecting that.
