Forums - Sony - Is Killzone Shadow Fall The Best Online Experience On Next Gen?

It looks fantastic, and those features are nice but I wonder if they are that special as you may think they are.

Of course, it depends what you mean by online experience, and which games one prefers, people need to play first then they can judge. Personally, I think TitanFall and Battlefield will be the best online experience (until Halo 5 I hope :D).

And about free DLCs, if that is correct why would they introduce a season pass?

Shu agree.



Nope, Arma 3 is.



Sounds like the same FPS online play we have been getting for years. Dedicated servers are nice but its nonthing new.



Thanks for the update, iceboy and KHFan!

Well I haven't played any next gen games yet so........kinda hard to say something like this. Much of it is down to preference. Also, sometimes things look great at first and then turn out to be disappointing once you get your hands on it.

The games with the most intriguing online experiences to me so far are probably Destiny and Titanfall



That would be a good question to ask... After the game, not to mention the systems, have come out.



I haven't played any of the next gen games yet so I really couldn't tell you. From what I've seen so far, I will say no. It won't be the best online experience. It certainly looks more fun than previous Killzone online experiences and I'm sure that the game will score well. I do like what I'm hearing about replacing XP with Challenges, the ability to highly customize Warzones, and that all map packs will be free. The game is visually beautiful and the weapons look satisfying to shoot. The special abilities could be cool too.

However, no matter how polished the game is the one thing that keeps me from being more excited about it than any other similar online experience is the fact that it's essentially a basic shooter. A beautiful and no doubt polished basic shooter, but basic nonetheless. It doesn't have the massive maps with vehicles, the large player counts, or the destructible environments of Battlefield 4. It doesn't have the satisfying kill streaks of Call of Duty. It doesn't have the weapon count of either.

Guerrilla Games didn't really take any chances with the multiplayer beyond Warzone customization. They're playing it safe and giving us a standard experience. That's not to say that the game will be no fun. The addition of weapon attachments alone already puts it above the previous Killzone multiplayer offerings in my eyes. I just wouldn't hold my breath for any kind of GOTY nomination.

I should mention that I feel it's very likely that when GG inevitably makes another KZ game, they'll probably try a lot of new things for the franchise then as far as multiplayer goes. Being a launch title has its advantages and disadvantages. In this case I just think they had to trim a lot. They were working with early devkits that did not afford them the full utilization of the PS4's resources. So there were some things they probably wanted to do but couldn't. Not to mention they focused a lot on changing up the way their SP campaign plays out.



Never played it,but so far so good.



Xbox fans will come in and say no.

Sony fans will come in and say yes.
