Killzone: Shadow Fall |OT| Nothing Stops This Rain
- Thread starter Radec
- Start date
It wont be Shadow Fall with the initial install base but things are looking good for this game. Haven't seen this much good buzz for any previous Killzone, not even the 2nd one.
Damn good OT Radec. If I may say so, the image you have that shows: The Helghast... Is sooooo fucking badass. Great job on it.

Maybe 2nd player on vita? Doubtful, but possible...
That's something I've been wondering as well. Can the vita display a second player's screen seperately? Even if the main screen dropped to 720p, that would still be amazing

Looks pretty good, but I prefer the European one over this.

Back of the box only says 1 player. It mentions 2-24 Network Players though.

Where does it say that?
It says 2-24 players, and 1 Player.
1 Player for single player, at least 2 for MP.

Looks like a standard multiplayer character to me :shrug:
I feel like they could've done a lot more to make the Shadow Marshal a real standout character, honestly. From voice work, to personality, to his look; there's not a lot that screams "main character." The OWL will be more recognizable at this rate.
Oh man. Local co-op would've been so cool. I remember Killzone 3 had co--op, but was it local co-op or just online? I can't remember.
With how nondescript he seems, it would have been cool if they let you customize the look of your own "Shadow Marshal" sort of like how Tearaway lets you customize Iota/Atoi.

Splitscreen only.
Awesome
It's strange how he's such a nobody. He gets almost no attention in the videos. They barely even talk about him. Part of me wonders if they're trying to surprise us with something. Like maybe an MGS2 type of thing where this main character isn't actually the main character. Maybe he dies off and we actually get to play as Echo.

Anyone know if it'll be possible to make a custom warzone where just you and a friend could battle bots together? I'm thinking yes, but rarely dipped into warzone for KZ2, plus from what I understand warzone has been refined in Shadow Fall.

Yes (confirmed)

Considering how little we've seen of the singleplayer campaign, that wouldn't even surprise me. Echo also has a much more eye-catching design, and is 100% likely to be a more interesting character. But I doubt it will happen.
It's just weird how much they've seemed to really focus on the narrative this time, but the player character seems even more bland than Sev.
Asian bundle cover art:
amazing.
It's not that weird considering the whole game is played from his perspective, story scenes and all. It's hard to flesh out a character when you never even see him.

There's no reason being entirely in first person has to hamper storytelling or characterization. It'll actually just make it worse if they go the Valve route and have people talk AT you the whole time instead of with you.
Unless of course I'm completely wrong and they've actually done something different and we just haven't seen enough.

I don't know. His cry of "It's our home too!" in the story trailer gives me hope that he won't just be a bystander.

So goes the conventional wisdom, but it is incorrect. I am playing FarCry 3... almost done with it; that game never EVER leaves first-person perspective, yet the character is quite fleshed out. (He may be a bit of a douche, but his douchiness is very very well developed.)
The silent protagonist thing in FPS is utterly played out. There's no excuse for it anymore... it's just unnatural. Unfortunately Half-Life's reputation for storytelling/world-building (well deserved in most ways...not in this way) keeps the charade going.

Trust me, I'd love to be wrong. It's just the impressions of what we've seen so far doesn't paint him as the most exciting character.
The protagonist in Shadow Fall isn't silent though, right? Not completely anyway.
Net_Wrecker
Member
Not totally, but everyone else seems to talk way more.
Yeah that's true. But hey all we've seen are solo missions so who's he supposed to talk to anyway.
"Hey OWL, lookin' good. Go shock those guys." ZAP. "Fuckin' sweet."
I have no doubt he'll be a pretty bland character but I've already seen more personality come through in the story trailer than I was expecting.

I myself was thinking "Killzone 1 had an art style?" 2 was a massive improvement in this department, and Shadow Fall looks even better.

It would be heaven.
You can only get that in asia?

Weird to see Knack so high. But AC BF and KZ SF are the games I'm getting too. Not yet decided on my third.
Asian bundle cover art:
Beautiful.
EDIT: Wait what, this game has split screen? Split screen what? Don't see anything mentioned in the OP.
Guess what I'd have imagined when I read this comment without the previous quotes.

Considering Wii Sports is listed by Guinness as the best selling game ever despite the fact it was bundled everywhere other than Japan, I'm surprised Sony or MS don't similarly bundle in a game for the life of the console and by default should have one of the biggest selling games of all time by the end of the console's lifecycle. Sony should get in there with Fantavision 2!
...I can't believe that cover isn't on every bundle around the worldAsian bundle cover art:
I think the cover is newly created.
I have searched almost every KZ:SF-related images and didn't saw an image like that when I was making the OT.
