Killzone Shadow Fall 9 minutes of single player gameplay

Honestly, I thought Crysis 3 was way too busy except for the opening bits. I'm going to buy KZ3 for sure on launch, but I don't think the graphics are that great. However, that's based on a youtube feed so I could be way off.

Here, I'll help you accomplish that.

I was just coming in here to post the opposite. I thought it looked absolutely fantastic! The pacing seems to be so much better here while the older games left the dial at 11 most of the time (constant explosions and action). This looks more like a stealth game ala Crysis than Call of Duty which just happens to be my very favorite type of shooter. Can't wait!

The gameplay is the big surprise to me. This looks like an actual top notch shooter in the veign of Halo and Crysis, instead of another by the numbers roller coaster simulator.
 
Not to be a COMPLETE PC Snob, but I don't see anything special about this game. I love the world of KZ and I played the PS3 games but this does not look very impressive. Max Payne 3 on the PC looked better than this

Comedy gold, thank you for the laughs. Some people must think they are the only ones with a computer.
 
Dear talented people at Guerrilla Games,

Please show us some better enemy AI. Neogaf has tried to reassure me, telling me my concerns are unwarranted. "Killzone 2 and 3 had awesome enemy AI!" they tell me -- "GG has it covered", some say. That's fine and good, but Shadow Fall isn't like its predecessors, its a different beast altogether. We're less than a month out, I need to see, without a Shadow of a doubt (ha) that SF's AI are as good as the previous two games, whose enemies, even the most basic Helghast infantry, often made me their bitch.

Love,
Wonkers

p.s. If the issue is the games press showing your game off on the easiest mode possible, I say that you fix that.

Just play on hard/ medium(normal) mode? Instead of easy mode or godmode like they do at events? Its just too early to tell right now. I would wait for home/review impressions.
 
Man I recently finished Killzone 3 and it was awful.

This is looking dramatically better though. I hope they really nailed it with this one as it's the only game I'm getting at launch.
 
While it does not make me say ''holy shit this is next gen''

It does look very good with some next gen graphical features and great I.Q.

I think when GG make a new engine from the ground up tailored exclusively for the PS4, minds will be blown.
 
Jesus. this game looks so damn good.

And it's a fucking launch game... do people remember what launch games looked like on the PS2/PS3? Cause I do, and if history repeats it's self this utterly gorgeous game is going to look like dog shit in 3+ years....

This game looks easy and lame. Enemy AI barely function, let alone put up a fight, X-Ray vision is a nigh on useless addition to the genre.



Oh wow, ziplines, weapons AND destructible walls? What variety

Do you ever post anything positive? Or do you just enjoy putting C4 on the train tracks to derail everyone's hype on Gaf?

On Topic:

I think the game looks awesome and I cannot wait to try out everything Conor is hating on.
 
At least the environments are welcoming unlike the previous games. NPC animations look like they were ripped straight out of KZ2. Gameplay always comes first but I would take a game with believable animations and decent graphics over a game with incredible graphics and poor animations, we're starting a new generation for god sake..
 
This actually looks like a lot of fun, I'm really happy they give you multiple tactical options. The Owl looks like a lot of fun to mess around with too. I'm actually really looking forward to this, which is surprising given I didn't really care for the previous Killzones.

I love blowing up walls.

Is that gif sped up or something? That explosion looks kind of odd, no? Like the fire turns to smoke too fast and it doesn't seem like the explosion has "weight" to it (sorry, I don't really know how to put it in other words).

edit: I think I know how to put it in other words. There doesn't seem to be any blast effects other than a few pieces of debris falling from the wall. The chairs seem unaffected. Nothing major, just odd.
 
Yep, looks great. I only bought KZ2 and 3 for their graphics, but this time I think I'm genuinely excited about the gameplay. And having cutscenes in 1st person will definitely help pull you into the story.
 
One thing that sticks out to me is the way hostages aren't really watchcing what's happening. I'd understand if some wanted to look away while you brutally murdered the dudes who took them hostage, but I think it would be a great touch if they were a little more organic and actually reacted to gunshots, windows breaking, and player movement in general. At least head tracking... Ah oh well. Something to add to the next iteration, I suppose. Anyone else see this or feel this way?
 
You know what I wished they did in more games? Take away your superpowers. Once you get used to them, get them stripped from you over the game. Makes it more interesting as it lets developers play with overpowered tactics and force players into playing differently. A treasure trove for game design.
 
That video quality is fucking terrible, even at 1080p!

Agree. I can't really judge the quality of the game by this terrible video. Wtf??

In any case, it reminds me of Crysis 2 with a lower framerate. The FPS is terrible on the outdoor levels!

I want to see a better video before passing judgement.
