hogso Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 PS4 exclusive from Killzone devs Guerrilla Games, out next week and reviewing very well. Post apocalyptic action role player, with third person combat involving spears, bow and arrows, harpoon guns, stealth, and an open world. The biggest draw here is probably the fancy pants looking enemies - animals and dinosaurs in robot form referred to simply as 'Machines' rule the world, the reason for which is examined in the story. Of which is apparently one of the weaker aspects of the game. The open world itself and combat hold up very well it seems, and it's pretty stunning to look at. There's a few elements taken from other games - a Batman style 'focus' allows you to survey the area and locate Machine weak points, there's also the Ubisoft approach to the open world in so far as bits and bobs are dotted all over to investigate, and you can climb giant giraffe-like machines instead of radio towers to unlock sections of the map. I was always rather impressed by the teasers we've seen over the years, looks like it might actually live up to the expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I was just looking for this thread because a guy at work wouldn't stop talking about it this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 same as what i said in the logan thread, if they're letting reviews out more than a week before the release then they know they've hit it out of the park looking forward to it, i personally quite like the killzone series, hype killed it more than the games themselves being bad, there are a couple of really good things in shadow fall, stayed away from a lot of the previews, did see IGN suggest that the map was massive and really added to the game will probably pick it up day of release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Looks pretty cool. Every so often I get lured in by the hype and think about buying a game for my neglected PS4 then remember how much they charge for new releases. I'll get a used copy in a few months.

villa4europe Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) It'll be £40-45 in tesco, maybe with an offer on somewhere, pretty much the same price as they've been since the last days of PS2 GAME will want £50 and no doubt flog some special edition £90 version with a plastic robo dinosaur in it that said i think pretty much all of last year i only had 1 or 2 games in my possession, i use CEX for the majority of mine, get GAME to price match their trade rate if they have an offer on, at the moment ive only got GTA 5, will probably make an exception for this but i'll try and complete it within a month and got shot of it for hopefully £25-30 trade for mass effect Edited February 22, 2017 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Just ordered it from CeX using vouchers. Looking forward to this one. Hopefully it will arrive before the weekend...

briggaman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Managed to put a couple of hours into it last night. Stunning game and I have enjoyed the early stages of it. Can see myself sinking many hours into this over the coming weeks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 3 hours in and i've already fallen in love with the world and the main character. I think the combat is very fluid and intuitive too which is a massive plus for a game like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) So worth the RRP then? Tempted. EDIT: **** it, just bought it. Edited March 2, 2017 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am mostly curious about the plot. For those who have put a few hours in, how does it seem so far? I have heard decent things about it - which for an open world game is massively appealing, as they uh, generally don't have much in the way of story at all. RDR probably being the only good example I've played, and even that was utterly barebones at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm only an hour or so in and it's not blowing my mind yet but I'm carrying on hoping it'll suck me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ok put a few more hours in this evening. It's actually **** brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 3, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2017 Couple of hours in and liking this game. Is there an easy way to find side missions other than exploring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
