We're a little more than two weeks from next-gen and we're still seeing sub 720p KZ GIFs.

It does though, the Helghan, who are probably more iconic than most antagonists in FPS games.
One of the best things about this game is the new main characters. Shadow Marshall (aka ISA Ninja lol) and Echo are so much better than Sev and Rico...Sev was an ok character but wasn't 'cool' enough to be the main character of a franchise like this
I also like the zip line mechanic (well I love the OWL concept overall...OWL is like the Rico support character perfected...keeps it's mouth shut thanks to not having one and does what it's told..perfect) ..I remember hearing you can even do it even if you are standing on a small rock..so this is a mechanic that can be used anywhere which should lead some cool gameplay moments/diversity

so one of the previews (gametrailers i think) touched upon this. they mentioned how you can seemingly zipline anywhere in certain sections like the forest but in some others like the appartment stage there are restrictions on where you can and where you cant ...
basically this shoehorning and their mention of levels being a bit confusing with many dead ends are my two concerns for this game. that and some part may be unpolished cause its a launch title. apart from those im hyyyped for this ... really does seem like this could elevate killzone from grade b to grade a exclusive.
i think thats one of the most exciting things about ps4 ... all the games were hyped for killzone, infamous ss, order etc are new ips or them taking an ip which was b+ level interest wise (not necessarily quality wise) and trying to push them to the next level ....
the heavy hitters like nd , pd, ssm havent shown whats up their sleeves yet .... vgas should be super dope.

Ehhh... the Helghast have really remarkable art design. That's it, though. When it comes to the actual games, with few exceptions, they're shown as stab-in-the-eye Nazi fodder rather than fearsome individual enemies like the Halo Elites, for example. The Helghast as antagonists are a check they wrote but that hasn't been cashed yet.
As characters Radec and Visari were cool but were used too little to be considered memorable.
See 'ya on Vekta, my friend.

I just hope I can turn hit markers off in SP. They're fine in MP but the hit reactions in SP are good enough that I won't need them.

Given the amount of shit KZ games tend to be receiving, I'm surprised they are reviewed so highly.
e.g. 'so generic, what does KZ bring new to the table?'

This is exactly why I like the warzone idea. I'd play lowest level all day! Add ability to turn off cross hairs, multiply recoil by 5x (don't know if this exists), disable scanning and I'm all set!super-famicom

There is no other thread title but this.
I don't believe the recoil one tweet based on those videos I've seen. It apparently it doesn't take that much skill to contorl the spray from the gameplay I've seen. Looks like I'll be bitching on the boards here soon: http://community.killzone.com/t5/Killzone-Shadow-Fall-PS4/bd-p/bEN_KZShadowFall

From the first article in the OP (when translated from Dutch):
As you can see, this game is gonna be pretty impressive if it can pull off such feats.

In the dutch interview, google translate comes back with something along the lines of "killzone shadowfall, its over the mustache". Its in the beginning of this thread.

Seriously the next Killzone title should have both Shadow & Echo playable, heck I'd go as far as making both into one big campaign, think Legacy of Kain Defaince rather than Resident Evil 1/2.

Let's hope the previews got it right and it makes the game more personal
Don't worry, they'll come soon enough.We're a little more than two weeks from next-gen and we're still seeing sub 720p KZ GIFs.

Yeah, this. Should be glorious.
People keep saying that, but up until the Wii, Nintendo consoles were always praised for being able to push impressive visuals.
I remember, back when I was 9, all the magazines were stating how Super Mario Bros. 3 had the best visuals of it's time.
Ditto for Super Mario World and Yoshi's Story, and Link To the Past on the SNES, Super Mario 64 and LoZ: Ocarina of Time on the N64, and Super Mario Sunshine, Smash Bros. Melee, and Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube.
It wasn't until the Wii that Nintendo was suddenly focused on "gameplay over graphics," but the long history of the company as a console manufacturer speaks otherwise. Hell, I still remember the various SNES ads on TV where they shit on Sega's "Blast Processing" by boasting about how many more colors the SNES can produce, and Mode 7.
Amazing graphics were synonymous with Nintendo for a long time. I remember many a multi-plat review in Gamepro or EGM touting how the SNES version looked loads better than the Genesis version.
Nintendo has simply decided to take a step back and let tech giants like Sony push hardware forward each generation. It's not a dig at Nintendo, but it is what it is these days. I think the Wii U looks great for Nintendo's stuff, personally. I'll get one eventually. After I get my PS4, but before I get an Xbox ONE, if i ever do.

That's what happens when you actually talk to people not paid by Microsoft.
So they're reading this thread? Then the most important question of all!
Will we have the option to remove the scoring text from the middle of the screen if we don't feel we need it? Or at least move it to the side or something? That would be, like, so excellent. So do it.
Plz.

I think this has been mentioned, does KZ:SF require the game to be installed?

Hopefully not the whole game.
I'm really looking forward to all of DF's articles in November. The Face Offs will be fun just because of inevitable meltdowns but the studies on the real next gen titles will be very interesting.
for some reason it got in to my head that this game will have dynamic resolution ALA wipeout HD/fury, native when the engine is not on to much load and when things get hectic the res will drop a little, this is something ive been thinking about, not a rumor, let me make that very clear

After watching the hd vids, its safe to say Ryse will be the graphics king at launch. GG's engine has a long way to go. Sorry for being a bit offtopic. Still buying this game.

Killzone is leagues above that linear corridor game that runs at 900p. And stop it with the drive by trolling.
