I'm certainly not part of "Sony gaf," but I have to say that this game is looking great. I'd pick it up over BF4 if I was in your position. Will also be a better showcase for next gen.

Low 80's metacritic
7 or 8 would be Polygon level.

Then again, the general consensus for Killzone Mercenaries was highly positive on GAF, and from people I know personally who played it, but that game was utterly lambasted by gaming outlets. It's interesting seeing the massive gulf between the User ratings average (9.1) vs the Critics ratings average (78) for it over at Metacritic. Critics seemingly way off the mark on that one. I guess because many continue to insist on comparing PSVITA games with full console games...

I think it will be in the 8's. Any word on when reviews will be going up?
IGN - 8.5
Gamespot - 8
Gametrailers - 93
Polygon - 7
Quarter to 3 - 1/5
83 on Metacritic
I say this is correct give or take 6 points.

I reckon this is gonna fall somewhere in the mid 80s which is kind of sad because COD Ghosts which got ragged on pretty hard is sitting at 78 atm. I don't doubt these are going to be more than 10 points apart despite the clear difference in effort that went into each project.

Rewatched this Gamescom 2013MP trailer and at around 0:21 saw these Warzone options:
-Abilities (Scout's Stealth, Assault's Dash, for example)
-Missions (I assume they would be Killcount, VIP Assasination, Propaganda Speaker, etc. None of these were shown in the video)
-Settings
-Bots
-Sidearms
-Explosives
-Weapons
The video continues and shows a variety of Custom Warzones with different setups, with visible options that I think would be found in the "Settings" option:
-2 Lives(so, limited respawns)/Unlimited Lives
-6 players (3v3), 4 Players (2v2)
-Spawn Waves [Long]
-Friendly Fire
-Health Regen [Slow/Fast]
Based on these findings, I assume that if you can have 2v2 or 3v3 matches, there will either be smaller maps that can suit smaller player counts, or the larger maps will be able to scale down for the smaller player counts (maybe by blocking off portions of the map?)
So, a Custom Warzone like the following would be something you can create:
Example Warzone
-5 Lives Only
-Spawn Waves [Long]
-Friendly Fire [OFF]
-Support Drones [OFF]
-Revive Drones[OFF]
-Stealth [ON]
-Tactical Echo [OFF]
-Health Regen [Slow]
-Shotguns
-Pistols
Also, the A Day With Playstation Japanese trailer shows a Killzone tournament at the end. There are two teams, Blue Swat and Chaos Force. The names were shown on screen at the beginning and end of the match (the text was overlaid on top of the gameplay/final kill replay at the match's end), and unless it was just added for the commercial (highly likely in my opinion), it could be a hint that clan support might be included. Again, just a hint, needs confirmation.

I'm going with 88-91. This one feels like it could be a nice evolution for the franchise. How can all this not warrant a better reception? Especially with KZ2 currently sitting pretty on 91 and KZ3 on 84.

Perhaps reviewer with obvious bias should not be allowed to review it?
(shit, who am I kidding!, they've all got obvious bias...)

Whatever the review score is, I don't want to see any of the reviewers bring up Titanfall in their review.
Regarding the complete overhaul of art,I would have preferred if they kept this look on PS4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn5eCCA9ZjA it would have looked stunning to say the least
I don't know dude, the new levels, colours and art direction look awesome from the short glimpses we've had thus far. I think the franchise needed a breather from the oppressive all bleak style look of the past games. This one looks to be more diverse and attractive.

... why?
That looks good but still the franchise never did that style justice,Killzone 2 added up a ton of effects to that scene which ruined that look.Killzone 1,3 and Mercs were plenty colorful as well.I don't know dude, the new levels, colours and art direction look awesome from the short glimpses we've had thus far.

There's a potentially large spoiler in the image icon of one of these. Be warned.
I'd be surprised if they hadn't seen it yet.

All the metacritic predictions are forgetting KZ2 did really well in reviews and settled out to a 91. I think especially given the changes they've made, it has a shot at doing very well in reviews.
I saw this, while simultaneously wishing we weren't having this discussion. Not like it matters either - Ghosts is by all accounts mediocre and sold a billion in 24 hours. Sigh.

I always recommend what I do. Stop caring about reviews from major sites.

Yeah and I'm hoping there's a lot of areas we have yet to see. I will be satisfied if this Uncharted 2 length.
For me, 8 hours would be a great length if it's paced well as opposed to the 5-6 we're used to seeing. I'm not too dependent on the story because the story for my FPS's suck and pale in comparison to RPGs. As long as it's decent, I'm fine. I just want a campaign that's fun to play and I felt that Killzone 3 was actually fun because it was paced very well, the powerful weapons were brilliant, the writer's were pretty much hating on a Rico vicariously through one of the other characters (the sergeant that yelled at Rico all the time), and Co-Op split screen was great.

In the shooter genre it will not have much innovation, true. But no reviewer can say Guerilla took the safe path and made a Killzone 3.5. They changed a lot of gameplay elements. I even think there will be a couple of surprises in the Story.
