The Killzone Franchise Thread

cool preorder bonus. I like when they give us soundtracks.

Im glad the touchpad functionality was detailed. I was wondering how developers would utilize that. Using it to control that drone seems cool

I really hope the multiplayer returns to it's roots. I personally didn't fancy the Killzone 3 multiplayer component. I felt it strayed too far from what made the second iteration so much fun. I personally liked the weight of the controls and just the overall attention to detail they gave it. I feel the third scrapped all the for a, dare I say, Call of Duty feel.

Just my thoughts.

The KZ community, from what it seems..has been fairly vocal about going back to what made KZ great and not repeating KZ3 mp again. Hopefully the devs are listening.

I loved KZ3's MP. I always hear the fans saying how it is the best thing about the game, since most didn't like the story for the SP.

I never played the others, though. So I have no clue how different the MP was.

 

[Resistance61513]

Yeah, I felt the story was super weak for Killzone 3. I loved Killzone 2's campaign. Personally, I felt KZ3 had massive amounts of potential for a memorable story but fell flat in favor of scale. Kind of like Resistance 2. There were just certain spectacles that didn't need to be made. I.E. the giant walking machine.

It would've been nice if they focused on the intimacy of the surviving ISA troops trying to get off the planet/survive the Helghast. Instead though, they made this over the top action packed adventure game that just didn't really feel like the Killzone DNA. At least, in my eyes.

And I also didn't feel the wacky weapons, added to the arsenal in KZ3, were needed. They just felt out of place to me.

Wow Killzone Mercenary looks unbelievably good

I've gotten back into killzone multiplayer if any here still plays or wants to squad up with me. My psn ID is eternalinferno

You know, after playing thru kz3 campaign again, it's actually more fun than I remember it being, still not as good as 2 tho. But ugh man was that ending just utterly terrible. I guess that's why I forgot how fun the rest of the campaign is, the ending just left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Killzone: Shadow Fall's DLC maps will be free!

Today, during a behind-closed-doors presentation for Killzone: Shadow Fall’s multiplayer functionality, Guerrilla Games confirmed that the Sony-owned developer has “extensive plans” to support Shadow Fall post-release. That means that the company will unleash a slew of new maps after it launches, and all of these maps will be available completely free of charge.

I wonder if that's forever or just a limited time thing as was done with some other 1st party titles. For example DLC on PS AS was free for 2 weeks before it was charged

Dear every developer, adopt this method of map giving.

 

[Soapy]

Sounds good. I'm sure they'll have other paid DLC though.

 

[Iceman]

If the other DLC is single player stuff this is the best way to do it. I don't consider multiplayer maps as worthy of being paid DLC but if they're free (like Mass Effect 3) there's no complaints and even better if it creates room for more single player.

 

[Superhero 101]

Some really nice footage of the Multiplayer its about 6 minutes long looks gorgeous in 1080

 

[Benstamania]

Playing the Mercenaries demo.. Holy poo it's good!

 

[BatMatt]

I'm in the beta myself. Very impressed. I'm not too big into online play but the game is gorgeous

 

[Havok83]

that's reassuring. Maybe Sony should have the team work on Resistance next instead of letting that franchise die. Im sure they can redeem and give it hope on the Vita after Nihilistic killed it

[Superhero 101]

Just got into Killzone Mercenary Beta And i can't believe how good it is.

That's actually a really ****ing good idea. Getting Guerrilla Cambridge to commandeer Resistance would be a great move.

 

[Resistance61513]

OR

Have Guerrilla deliver another console installment of Resistance...
