Killzone: Shadow Fall a PS4 launch title

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

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

 

"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.

Solid launch title. 3 or 4 more of that stature and 1 or 2 higher and you've got a great launch.

I would of preferred to see their new IP though. I really wanna see what else GG can do.

Guys, I like KZ from what I see. Since this is a launch title it wont have a install base to draw upon for high initial sales. This will need legs to survive. I hope you all can do the game justice.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Killzone 2 released in 2009.  2 year life cycle.  They make beautiful games but they arent necessarily the best gameplay wise or story wise.  Still love the series but it reminds me of sony's version of Crysis. 2 year cycle is not doubtful at all.

You might remember Resistance 1, that went on to sell over 3m because it was the only good PS3 launch title. If this is the best launch title, most people will buy it with the system.

Ah 2006. Well see how COD PS4 effects this game, since COD never really picked up until 2007.

Well, let's hope it doesn't get pushed back into "launch window" then, it will be a great game to get Day 1!

A few more like this, and you'll have a good launch. But this one game is certainly not enough to sell the system to the masses, even if it does look pretty good.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Would be amazing, and the first game that shows what PS4 is capable of.

killzone should be fine.  First party launch games usually have pretty decent legs if they are good.
