Killzone: Shadow Fall a PS4 launch title

Guerrilla Games' new first-person shooter to be available when new system launches this holiday.

199 Comments

Killzone: Shadow Fall will be a PlayStation 4 launch title, developer Guerrilla Games has confirmed through the PlayStation Blog.

No Caption Provided

"It has been an amazing journey for us so far, being offered the opportunity to be a launch title for the new PlayStation, and the subsequent mild panic to figure out how to best handle all of that," wrote Guerrilla Games senior producer Steven Ter Heide.

Shadow Fall saw its world debut at the 2013 PlayStation Meeting on Wednesday evening. The game--set 30 years after the events of Killzone 3--takes place in a new world and puts players into the boots of an all-new hero, the Shadow Marshal.

Another confirmed PS4 launch title is stylized platformer Knack, from Sony Japan Studio. Gamers play as Knack, a creature with the ability to use relics he finds along his journey to give himself new abilities throughout every level.

I'm not a fan of Killzone because of it's game play but it seems Shadow Fall may have changed it, so I'm going to buy it or at least be interested.

The new Killzone looked kind of bleh when they demonstrated it at the PS4 conference. I am not particularly impressed by the bland looking art-design, the controls appearing to lack the same weight behind them as they did in Killzone 2 and the crazy scripted cinematics that added to "TEH DRAMA".

But who am I kidding, the teenage Call of Duty loving crowd will probably snap it up in a heartbeat - so it must be a good launch title in the making.

@loopy_101 bland art design was killzone 2. from waterfalls, to HUGE landscapes, your in the Vekta city now, and a HUGE ass wall separates you and the Helghast. open your eyes, they had alot going on in the demo.


i mean seriously a bomb goes off, blows up half the city, medics trying to assist, women in the background screaming and you say it was bland...you know why it felt bland, cause they toned down the actual gameplay to give you a sense of everything that was actually happening. if you know any killzone title, it will carry weight to the character and not make u feel like thin air floating around the city, ala call of duty. either way, watch it agin, you sound like a troll.

@extraexcited @loopy_101 A bomb goes off and there is background chatter from medics and women screaming? I never realised this was enough to be called impressive art design.

Also, I've played and completed the Killzone trilogy and even completed the PSP game in Liberation, so please, do continue.

Well, looks like I'll probably be waiting at least a year from release to buy the PS4. None of the launch titles make me want to rush out to get a console. No God of War, MGS, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Uncharted, LBP, or any interesting games. I can wait for an inFamous or Killzone game to hit the bargain bin...

@frodo10 yeah wish there was a new IP that looked cool they showed that knack game but it just looked like something for little kids. I don't know why they didn't just hold off on last of US and make it a PS4 game I think that was a mistake on Sony's part. I don't want another Uncharted new IP with good story line is were its at.

@Uberdruck looks like killzone is maybe a bit better better but thats only because they watered Crysis 3 down so it worked on PS3/360 Crysis 3 is looks almost the same as Crysis 2. No real improvements and they are both built to come out on 10 year old hardware its hard to upscale them to look better then that on PC

Someone asked me why I like Killzone over other shooters once and that's a hard answer to put to words. It's somewhere between the unique sniper aiming, sharpshooter controls, and the weight of your combat equipped soldier felt with every step. Somewhere between Visari's "Never Again" speech, and the terror panic of seeing the red eyes of a helghan soldier. The closest way to describe it is like the feeling you got with your first WWII shooter. Two civilizations far away with different stories, struggles, and worlds but so equally matched militarily making every fight REALLY feel like a showdown years in the making. Where other shooters dumb it down and numb you to the action over time, Killzone makes it loud and frightening. Find a demo or a bargain bin copy and just play it.

@sabresieben I played Killzone 1 and Killzone 2 on PS3 never finsished 2 it was to much of the same as killzone 1. I found it got boring to many of the same units over and over nothing ground breaking if you ask me. Half life 2 was better game it at least had a good story line Killzones story sucks and I can't see them making it any better. The game play in this new game looks good better then befor the flying arownd holding on to the rope bit looked cool looks like they might add some more game play elements. I hope you get to fly one of jet things or there is some mech combat stuff thats not just your standared FPS game Killzone has good graphics thats it. I want good story and some more game play elements if I'm going to play the same IP again.

@sabresieben The thing that drew me in to Killzone 2 is the sheer scale and immersion in every battle. You have those world war II sized battles with then top notch graphics and sound design as well as an enemy as menacing as the helghast and it did create a uniquely immersive experience. It also feels like one of the only fps's that's still truly difficult. It stayed in that 2005 sweet spot of FPS evolution where many of the modern mechanics of fps's were coming into use, but it still hadn't been watered down to create more of a ride out of it. That's really what most FPS's feel like. They send you on ride that's enjoyable, but only creates the occasional illusion of challenge so that you make it through fairly quickly and the flow is uninterrupted. This isn't inherently bad, it's a nice pacing technique, but it's still nice to really go up against a challenge and perfect a strategy through trial and error. Wow, that was a long tangent.

@twentymooseman @sabresieben killzone 2 and 3 kicked my ass, and i thank GG for it. im not in the business of playing easy fps, i want a challenge at every corner, thats why i know shadow fall is gonna deliver beyond belief.. the proof is in the pudding, each game evolved from the other, and this one is gonna be intense!

@Dredcrumb9 All of them. Killzone probably the most, since it has NO merits outside of maybe multiplayer, and even that was sucky until KZ3.

@IGFGAThrawn @Dredcrumb9 so your point isnt validated at all, killzone has always been about the story first. so if u didnt get a thrill from the story your opinion is pointless. you sound like you play COD anyway and base your opinions on how much its like it...

Don't mind the haters bro. I really like the Killzone games too. Someone on the net will always tell you you're wrong. **** em. I thought the campaign of KZ3 was amazing as well(if not a little short, but I forgave it because it was so enjoyable, IMO).

@huerito323 @philMcCrevis COD is WAY more generic than Killzone. Killzone's single player is considerably better. The multi-player in KZ2 was my favorite when it came out.... But they didn't change up enough in KZ3. It was still fun, but not still at the top.

Still, I don't agree that KZ is the best... For me, that would be Battlefield. I will definitely be buying Kill zone: SF though. It's still an excellent series.

@haze_blaze @huerito323 @philMcCrevis they did change the mulitplayer in kz3. they added Mechs, and more custom options for whatever player you wanted, added more color, added 3D, reduce the player count to 24 and never had any issues with online connection, even at launch. Every COD i ever played at launch went down

@philMcCrevis If Killzone is your favorite FPS franchise, i question what FPS games you have played. Or Maybe I am the only one who thinks Killzone is just okay and nothing too good?
