Well, my guess is it's sort of like, oh shit we destroyed your home planet and all it's people. For the hellghan who already live on Vetka, and for the few thousand/million refugee's, the rest of the world wants us to provide you with sanctuary. So here's a small piece of land for you guys (think Israel and the British mandate, post WW2), and then later down the line, they build a giant wall (also not unlike Israel/Palestine) to keep the people separated because really they don't want them there, they just gave them a place for humanitarian reasons

Shit, if that 60fps rumor is true, I will never need Call of Duty again. I'm even fine with a 720/60 fps option. PLS DO IT GG!
60fps uber alles. I'd take 720@60fps over 1080@30. Although, I wonder if next-gen games will be bottlenecked by resolution at all.
Meh, for KZ I'd prefer 30/1080 personally. KZ is not one of those kind of shooters that needs 60. Probably make it feel less KZ'like if anything.

Killzone isn't Quake. Why is fps so important to you even if the game is relatively slow?
make an option to turn on a dynamic resolution for higher fps.

Good list, but i would like to add KZ3 to the multiplayer as well, since it introduced the Operation Mode. Personally i really liked that and i hope to see it in Killzone 4 as well
What did people find wrong with the Warzone Mode in Killzone 3 by the way? Personally i enjoyed KZ2 multiplayer more than KZ3 multiplayer, but i think it was only because of the different maps and lack of portable spawnpoints.
Marksman class, was ill conceived. I know most on the official forum where going ape about it.
60fps is always preferable to 30 for every single game in existence.
Just because a game is slower paced doesn't mean 30FPS is magically alright. 30FPS is sluggish and annoying, no matter what game it is.
No, no. We need them to lock Killzone at 24 fps and use all the power for more AA.

Are you aware that the Helghan city has the same color scheme and utilitarian design as Helghan?
Lol it's not slow and sluggish, it's just not as quick as 60fps, which admittedly is better for most games out there. 30 keeps the same feel (chuck in lots of motion blur too please) and allows for more visual spectacle, which for this particular franchise I'd prefer. Killzone has always been very IQ orientated, not speed ala CSS, COD, Quake etc. If it were a twitch(ier) shooter I might disagree.
But different strokes I guess.

Could be, I've been thinking of it may be like West and East Germany during the cold war. Two opposing forces in the one City. Separated by a heavily defended wall on both sides. With vastly different ideologies and ways of life to each other. The Vektan side of the wall is rich and prosperous, with the Helghan side poor, with crumbling buildings, crime rife etc..
I believe the dev of GG mentioned that on stage. So yes, that would be very realistic as a direction too.

Killzone 3 was a little too fast paced IMO, still fun. It would of been a thousand times better with spawn grenades.Good list, but i would like to add KZ3 to the multiplayer as well, since it introduced the Operation Mode. Personally i really liked that and i hope to see it in Killzone 4 as well

Just noticed the big ass statue behind the ATAC on the Helghan side of the wall.
Big bad dude?
thats a nice gif. wish it was bigger

Why does it look like even the smog and pollution is contained by the wall, even the color of the sky changes.

Had the ability to be invisible (cloak), could jam radar, would stay cloaked even when firing if using a silenced weapon, had a very good silenced machine pistol. Also had use of a beast AR, and beast sniper rifle. Unfortunately cloak + silenced weapon gave some players the perfect camping class.
Edit, from memory I think the Devs eventually nerfed the Marksman, a long time after the game shipped though. I think they gave his radar jammer a cooldown period, so he would show up on the mini-map, could be wrong, haven't played online in ages.

60fps uber alles. I'd take 720@60fps over 1080@30. Although, I wonder if next-gen games will be bottlenecked by resolution at all.
The sooner consoles get used to 1080p as the norm, the better. As long as the res is higher than 1280x720 I can kind of compromise but it would have to be a res that is downscaled to 720p. Something like a native res of 1600x900 but going back to last gen "baseline" res is step back.
1080p at a solid 30fps should be great for KZ. If they can't do 60fps then I would rather keep the high IQ afforded by higher resolutions.

VSA; Vektan Strategic Alliance...? Every planet is supposed to have their own ISA so I guess this is a way of just being more precise because maybe we'll come into contact/conflict with other ISA entities. Or maybe we'll face the UCA?
I think the premise of the story is both cool but also a bit dumb. I like the fact that these two factions are begrudgingly trying to live together in harmony and their is a mounting tension between but at the same time I'm not going to welcome a people into my home who have been raised to hate me and will blame me for their misfortune regardless of my efforts to appease them. I know that Vekta feels responsible for what jas transpired but the Helghast were indiscriminate in the eradication of the Vektan population when they raided Vekta in the first game.
Also if a people have been reduced to millions why would they challenge an entire planet. That too me makes no sense. If the story had been that a satellite or colony had been appropriated to the Helghast and they had been laying foundations for an upheaval that would've been more believable than the story we have now. The references to the Gaza Strip and Berlin Wall don't work truthfully because those peoples are indigenous to those particular areas so tension isn't preventable but with the Helghast they could have relocated them somewhere more sensible.

Apparently Killzone: Shadow Fall (and the rest of the real time demos) ran on a dev kit with only 1.5GB GDDR5 usable for graphics.

Incredible if true.

I love the smoothness and responsiveness and overall visual feedback 60fps provides, no matter the game.
Who is Phil? If not a GG developer, pointless post. Even now I do feel like 8GB was too excessive. Like I said many times in the past, I'd have preferred a stronger GPU with 4GB GDDR5 over 8GB GDDR5 ram, but who knows, maybe in future the extra ram will provide more dividends, especially combined with software feature improvements etc which might also be ram intensive.

If that's true... Then whe're in for exploding heads when the game releases.
The demo must gave been with 4gb, right?
I agree. Multiplayer is much more fast paced.

Inspired by Berlin during cold war.
Probably to make up for nuking their planet. But everyone is still bitter about everything.

It might scare off people who missed out on the first three games?
Story takes place 30 years after Killzone 3,new story arc.
More like Hellghan rapid industrialist manufacture.

Targeting this for launch as an early PS4 showpiece is probably Sony's attempt to push the franchise up the FPS pecking order. To do so they'd need to bring new players in, calling it KZ4 would make people think they should have played 1, 2 & 3. Hence moving the setting 30 years forward.

Because Killzone 3 was an embarrassment best forgotten.
The fuu...lol if true. KZ SF is going to take names on launch. Which is a bit weird to say give that it is only a launch title after all. Having said that, I fully expect Battlefield 4 to stun at the nextbox event.
