KILLZONE SHADOW FALL SHADOW MARSHAL PS4

I loved seeing the draw distance on display in some of the city scenes, with skyscrapers covering the ground off into the distance and The Wall that separates the two cultures looming ahead. That's not to say the presentation is bad overall the visuals can certainly attest to that. This large motivational issue in the narrative, together with some of the usual video game story science flubs (why is a doctor surprised to see that the Helghast and Vektan have similar DNA after “decades” of separation? Does he have no idea how evolution works!?) made it a forgettable storyline which has little impact. It's to the game's credit that it shows you starving Helghan civilians but they make up about 1% of the Helghast you'll see and are vastly outnumbered by the army members who seem perfectly happy subjugating everyone they meet if they don't kill them outright first.

They develop and become more nuanced as time moves on throughout the narrative, but not in a significant way. One major problem with the story is that you're expected to start to see the Helghast as fellow human beings, but they're all too often shown to be the “space Nazis” that their visage suggests. This was probably meant as a bid for peace but it turns out the Helghast are kind of jerks (huge surprise there) and decided that they'd forcefully deport everyone out of their half of the planet and kill anyone left behind. This is spoiler territory for Killzone 3 here, but after you blew up the planet Helghan into a giant uninhabitable ball of glowing rock, for some reason the Vektans decided that in penance they would give half their planet over to the Helghast. Killzone: Shadow Fall is the story of a Vektan Shadow Marshal who was traumatized during the deportation of half of Vekta. It's not a terrible game, just not exceptional in any way.

Obviously it's a pretty adventure, as all Killzone titles are, but sadly the gameplay and story don't match up with the exceptional visuals. No, Resogundoesn't count because it's not a retail release! Duh! Anyway, ignoring that one great game, many pinned their hopes on Killzone: Shadow Fall as the best hope for the PlayStation 4 launch.

The PlayStation 4 is finally here and everyone is wondering what that one exclusive title is that'll make it worth the purchase. 'It was important that it was easy to use in the fray of battle and have suitable abilities for every type of situation the game throws at you, on top of all the other abilities/weapons the Shadow Marshal has at his disposal.'įor more on Killzone: Shadow Fall, you can check out a gallery of screenshots from its February announcement and its E3 2013 trailer.By Karl Koebke, posted on 26 November 2013 / 8,927 Views 'We wanted to give the player more control over buddies in our game, and we quickly gravitated towards utilizing our futuristic theme to create something very technologically advanced and also extremely useful in the field,' he said.

Players will control the Owl with the PS4 controller's touchpad and can switch between Attack Mode to target a group of enemies or a single enemy, Zipline Mode for quick traversal, Stun Mode for an area-of-effect zap that disables nearby electronics and Shield Mode that protects a Shadow Marshal with a front-facing shield.Īccording to Boltjes, the idea for the Owl grew out of a desire to give players more control. When damaged, the Owl automatically returns and regenerates health until it receives an order again.' 'It attaches itself onto the Shadow Marshal’s suit until he gives it an order. The Owl includes several modes and is designed as an 'advanced hovering attack drone used exclusively by the Shadow Marshals to give them all kinds of tactical abilities in the field,' according to lead designer Eric Boltjes. Killzone: Shadow Fall, the upcoming PlayStation 4 launch title from developer Guerrilla Games, will include a touch-controlled personal attack drone called the Owl, according to a post on the game's official blog.
