mind fucking blown. I don't care if this is as good as next gen graphics get. Truly amazing. Next gen has more then I expected as a whole.

Very good point. Hopefully they'll still have a wide selection of meaty weapons as they're just way more fun. Main reason I don't like most sci-fi shooters.

Am guessing its one of the newly produced weapons as this takes place 30 years later (is what was stated from a news blurb). Will be interesting to see if there is going to be a bit of a gap between what the ISA and Helghast have now that they are living on the same rock with a giant wall separating the two.

Since we dont know much about the kind of conditions the Helghast are living in or if they are really allowed weapons cant comment on much else.

If anything though at least we can expect a good shotgun, since thats one of the weapons that always had balls to it in the KZ universe.

I gotta echo this sentiment.

It looked really great and then it went with the expected color scheme.
I'm sure we'll get a fair amount of gameplay in earthy environments. That level might not be the beginning of the game.

Still need the source of this video.
 
It's a bit telling that 5 of the 6 screenshots posted above are on-rails sections or cutscenes.
Yeah I don't think anybody is impressed by this kind of thing anymore. Give me freedom and choice. I was really hoping that there would be some RPG lite elements at the start. Or when he was climbing the rope that he would hijack the copter. Something that would open up the scope and say "hey we are doing things differently now"

But it was all very bland and predictable.

I'm not really impressed. It seems like they are trying to make this franchise into COD more and more. People loved Killzone 2 for its dreading atmosphere, heavy movement and powerful guns. Now it feels like a bright and Shiny pea shooter with explosions like COD

Lol. This is Vetka, it's supposed to be colourful and idealistic. Hellghan will be harsh and gritty guaranteed.

NeoGAF's smiling token!
Honestly though, when I look at the city, it makes me hope for a Mirrors Edge 2. I know, unrelated, but the city really does look beautiful before they made it another warzone.
 
So is criticizing an fps as being "shootbang" the new edgy thing to do now?

its gaf. And it's killzone fault for leening a bit to the CoD size of the spectrum even if I never really felt it as to me KZ3 is just as good if not better than KZ2. Better rythm, better variety, better weapons.

Was did anyone else kind of miss seeing the M82 in the character's hands? I'm sure they wanted to show off a new, different looking weapon but I love the way that thing looks and the reload animation is my favorite ever.
 
Holy fucking shittttttttttttttt

I was blown away by the city shots, imagine Mirrors Edge on next gen now.

Im most interested in the slower moments in the game, thats when the game will shine when you are battling it out with the A.I.

The premise is fucking great, its going to be sweet bouncing between the different environments which are completely different from one wall to the next. GG is unmatched (SSM excluded).

"The game is set in a near future, thirty years after the events of Killzone 3. The world is a very different place; two rival factions known as the Helghast and the Vektans live side by side in a futuristic city, divided by a vast wall.

Tensions are high, and the cold war they are embroiled in is about to go hot. In the midst of this all stands a Shadow Marshal, you. The most special of the special forces, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance.

From responding to bold attacks, to quiet infiltrations or all out combat, you will be required to adapt and think on your feet as you have to face a variety of escalating events that could destroy your home world."

From the official trailer it sounded like we got to play as the Helghast at some point, but maybe this "Shadow Marshal", Lucas Kellab (not sure on the last name) will go rogue at some point and fight along the Helghast. One can only hope...

Also, the intro speech he gave before showing the game demo, I get the feeling this one will be more story and emotional/power struggle based. Reminds me of Palestine/Israel with the dividing wall, occupation etc.

Honestly... it was as if Halo and Mass Effect had a slow child. Dull gameplay, which is odd considering the amount of stuff happening on screen at any given time.

Isn't every FPS a COD-clone to some of you guys? And aren't COD just a clone of Counter Strike? And Halo... Quake? :)

It's like Coruscant only better. I don't get the big jump forward in time in terms of narrative. Why the drastic change? It looks gorgeous but what about some narrative continuity.

My guess will be that there is some back room dealings which is folks trying to start another full scale war again from both sides and you & eventually helghan allies will have to band together to stop the plot. Seriously can see something like that. Truthfully Id prefer to play as a helghan, they dress better lol

30 years from now it's obsolete. Maybe we'll get to pull it out of a Vektan war museum. :)
 
.. amazing. I was "hand cover mouth" in awe.

took a long hard dump on destiny's in game visuals.

like kerbstomped destiny to the ground not being built to run on last gen consoles.

Not sure if this has any significance in the game but one of the NPCs were looking at a screen that said, "Black Hand Leader Captured". I wonder who these Black Hand are.

I always loved the KZ reload animations, since its not this stylish lets fuck around and look fancy / waste time bullshit. Its get a fresh mag in there NAO type of action.

I hate games that try to be all fancy and shit which just winds up wasting more time or the character has no sense of urgency.

Farcry 3 was pretty bad at this as a recent example. Jesus christ.

Not sure if this has any significance in the game but one of the NPC's were looking at a screen that said, "Black Hand Leader Captured". I wonder who these Black Hand are.

You would guess its the faction behind the bombing that went down at the particular area at the start before the pewpewpewpewpewepewing broke out. If so with that in mind could make the connection that the operation going on was to recapture the leader if he was at that particular facility. Then again seeing as how it looked like a civilian facility instead of a military installation not too sure on that.

Most def am interested to see where they will take the story though. I wonder if the whole KZ:M on the PSV story will tie in with this at all, since you seem to be able to play both sides in that game. Which would match with this timeline seeing how a wall divides both sides making it more possible to collect paychecks from the two factions with little effort so to speak. (As no interplanetary travel)

As someone who was once a hardcore Killzone fan, I was very pleased with this. The graphics are obviously amazing, and that's nice, but what pleased me more was the glimpses of plot we got and the approach they'll be taking with the story this time around. For anyone who has read the Killzone backstory and history, you know that there is SO much interesting and awesome history in the Killzone universe, which was so untapped in KZ2 and 3.

Just glad they're finally going to Vekta and that the whole "helghans are actually sort of the good guys" plot is bleeding through. Shall be interesting.

Eh...... I wish they'd funnel the money from something like this into more interesting projects. I was kind of at least holding out some hope that they would change the genre or gameplay up with it looking and named different then the gun came out and then the sluggish, plodding, terrible looking Killzone FPS gameplay started.

It's hard to accuse Sony of not doing that, just take a look at the amount of franchises they finance. How many other big publishers would finance the stuff they do?

Yes, Killzone looks dead inside in terms of standing out from what's already available, but they do so much else it's easily forgivable.

Can somebody please get a nice screen capture of the very end when they show the two sides of the wall?

To clarify, this takes place after the events of KZ3. The Helghast citizens took refuge on Vetka but of course they didn't want to put them in direct contact with everyone else so they built a giant wall to separate them. This game will take place in two very distinct locations. The Vetkan side of the wall where everything is bright, shiny, and sleek, and the Helghast side of the wall where everything is dark and dreading just like KZ2.

you know, now that I think about it, the trailer narrator doesn't mean we got to play as Helghast, after all, previous KZ games have helghast leader doing the narrative. the narrator in this trailer simply could be our new antagonist, just like Visari

Apparently if it's an fps and you shoot things it's immediately generic and just "shootbang", whatever the hell that means, I guess that's supposed to be a diss, I'm not sure. Never mind the fact everyone looses their shit for a game like Ni No Kuni which doesn't advance the genre at all, and you know what? That's totally fine, as long as the experience is good.
