Killzone 4 launching on PlayStation 4, releasing in 2013

Killzone 4 will release later this year on Sony's next-generation PlayStation, an industry source has told VideoGamer.com.

[nrvalleytime]

If true, this announcement confirms that the PS4 is definitely coming out this year, and Killzone 4 might be the killer IP we're expecting at launch.

I like the series, but the third game wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the first two.

Still - really hope this rumor's true.

[theBAWSE]

Speak for yourself killzone 4 if true will be a killer ip in my eyes

the mind boggles just thinking bout the graphics

[blitz0623]

If this is true, then damn it. I was trying to tell myself not to get a PS4 at launch since I just bought a new PS3 a few days ago :(

[Red_Orange_Juice]

Good I need some KZ4 multilayer

[Dylila]

it will look better than crysis 3 on ultra for pc.

[hardcorehippiez]

of course it will but the pc elite wont ever admit it

[LackTrue4K]

I'm a. Big big fan!!! Hell, (look at my profile picture)
I have the "G" from Gurilla Games tattooed on both my arms! Can't wait to see if this is all true!!!

[Plagasx]

Yea, dem next-gen blur effects to hide ugliness.

[nintendoland]

@dylila

can I have that thing you are smoking? ;)

[Freak of Nature]

I think the eye candy will be stunning. I wonder what extra advantages they will have "art direction wise", with the extra power, the handcuffs are almost off now, they will (do) have so much extra room to create a stunning masterpiece, not to even mention the extra power to add in wonderful new gameplay twists and expansive set pieces....

I also hope we get to hear about there other "IP"...Exciting times ahead for sure...

[aCasualGamer]

Killzone 2 was this generations best FPS followed by COD4: Modern Warfare. The online was an absolute delight. The clan system worked so well and the matches were so much fun. There is no doubt in my mind that if this is true, we're looking at a system seller.

There are few franchises that i wanted for PS4 at launch, Klllzone was in the top. Picture yourself the graphics!

If you think about it, this makes perfect sense atleast in marketing terms.... KZ4 for PS4.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Isn't that what he said?

[InMyOpinion]

@aCasualGamer - Subjective of course but I think Battlefield 3 had better multiplayer than Killzone 2.

[KiRBY3000]

@aCasualGamer

nope, this generation's best console multiplayer FPS was Bad Company 2, hands down.

[aCasualGamer]

@inmyopinion

Subjective ofcourse. Should've said "inmyopinion" =p

Agree that Bad Company 2 was delicious in terms of multiplayer, especially the destruction. But i still believe the clan system in KZ2 was so excellently implemented that it made the game so much better. The "team" vibe in a multiplayer match in KZ2 was so great. The modes were also better than Bad Company 2, in comparison they made the game that much more balanced in KZ2 than Bad Company 2.

[starchild]

I have to say that I have very fond memories of playing Killzone 2 online for hours.

I can't wait to see what they have done for Killzone 4.

[papashango]

a clan system being the reason why a mp shooter defined a gen?

...yeaaa no

Cod4 defined MP shooter this gen. BC/BC2 opened up the genre as far as depth. Battlefield 3 ended the generation. Dayz defined how far we've come.

Killzone 2 implemented game modes that have been in place for years. sluggish controls and low fps ensured the Killzone franchise remained average this gen. A next-gen Killzone title will consist of a higher resolution, higher AA, HD textures and 60 fps. You'd be surprised at the night and day difference this would make. don't expect much else. I also doubt they shoot for 60fps.

[kenshiro100]

Nice stealth trolling./s

[TheGamerDood]

Good god! KZ4 running on brand spanking new PS4 hardware would be freaking mind blowing.

[IAmTheBest35]

killzone 4 will be a killer app? what exactly do you know about killzone 4?

[MikeMyers]

This and Gran Turismo 6 would be two great titles to show off the new hardware.

[BattleAxe]

I'll be picking this up day one then. Killzone 3 is still a game that I play fairly often, and its definitely one of my favorite multiplayer games this generation. I just hope the single player is a bit better this time around.

[matchu_peechu]

You can admire the graphics all you want, but the idea of relism in a futuristic world is still off. Gameplay poops on itself

[NewMonday]

would love to see KZ on 60FPS

[LordLaguz]

I just want a Helghast single-player campaign. Those bastards are an icon, and nothing would said "Welcome to PS4" better that a quick starting cut-scene of putting on that gas mask.

[InactiveUser]

@aCasualGamer
"much more balanced in Killzone 2"

That has to be a joke. There's nothing balanced about Killzone 2's multiplayer. First off, there's upgrades as you level up. Meaning already more experienced players have more abilities, weapons, etc. That's pretty much the definition of unbalanced. Not to mention 1hit body shot sniper, running around at 800mph, invisibility, looking like the other team, sentry guns / turrets, etc. That multiplayer is built for fun (if you find all of that to be fun), not for balance or competitiveness. Balanced multiplayers are ones where everyone starts the match the same, no matter their level, on a mirrored map ala Resistance: Fall of Man. The only separation then is skill (or scruby 1hit gameplay) and experience.

I've platinumed Killzone 2 & 3, Resistance 2 & 3, Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, CoD WaW MW2 MW3 Blops, Uncharted 1-3, etc.. None are perfectly balanced, a lot are far from it. Besides a couple 1hit weapons, R:FoM is (was, pretty dead nowadays) the most balanced and competitive.

[InactiveUser]

I currently went back to get some MAG trophies. That's another game that would be a joke to be called balanced. A level 70 starts the match as Superman compared to a level 1. Not only is a level 70 clearly more experienced, but they can move faster, run faster and longer, have 20% more health, are more resistant to damage, have stronger and more accurate weapons, can heal faster, their knife (melee) could be stronger and faster, they can track you while not showing up on your radar, etc.

On topic, definitely intererested in PS4 (likely a day 1 buy) and KZ4.

[JoGam]

Rumors, rumors, rumors. Gotta love em.

[kingmushroom]

well I'll tell you one fact, Ps4 will be announces on Feb, 20.

[calis]

That's not a fact. It's a guess.

[GalacticEmpire]

If this is true, it'll be a ten ton hammer for Sony to wield on launch.

[Godchild1020]

In order it's KZ2, KZ3 and then KZ1. I guess when the the PS4 is announced or released it will be the year of the 4 and not only the year of the PlayStation.

No matter what, I'm saving my dimes and nickels for Next Generation consoles. That is if, just half of the rumored games are coming out at launch for both consoles.

[InTheLab]

I actually enjoyed the first KZ more than the rest. I loved playing as different ISA members. Going in stealthy or gunz blazin. I also thought Templar was better than Sev...and the maps were much more open than both KZ2 and KZ3.

They need to bring back player choice and the chapters in KZ4. Basically make a next gen KZ1...

[ape007]

to me KZ2 will always be the best, it has that special atmosphere

[Old McGroin]

Roll on February 20th, I'm expecting to have my breath taken well and truly away :)

[GMWPS3]

I hope they launch PS4 with KZ4, uncharted 4, Gran Turismo 6 and a new Metal Gear Solid. That would guarantee a sell out success into next year!

[GraveLord]

PS4 is already rumored to be coming this year.
This is a rumor, not an announcement BTW.

[theBAWSE]

@Nrvalleytime you are a COWARD

first off you bash ks4 as the launch title saying its not a killer ip..then I call you out on it you totally edit and change your comment

[Ezz2013]

why did you even comment on his opinion

let him live in his own bubble

[sourav93]

I thought comments couldn't be edited once someone replies to it...?

[nrvalleytime]

Show me where I "bashed" the title. I merely said that it's a "Killer" IP.

I changed my comment because I realized my joke was lame, not because of you. Thanks for writing.

[Hellsvacancy]

I dont think Killzone 4 will be out in 2013, itll be a launch title for for when the PS4 is released in Europe/US in 2014

Im only basing that on Japan not liking fps that much, and most of the Killzone fanbase is in Europe/US

Id feel like Guerrilla Games are giving me the finger if its released there before here, we would appreciate it and want it more, you wont see a Final Fantasy game being released in Europe before Japan

[C-Thunder]

Rumor is PS4 will release at the same time in Japan and the US

[josephayal]

Woaaaa PS4 is rumored to support 4K resolution, i can't wait to Play KILLZONE 4 in 4080P

[landog]

ps4/nextbox will never play a game in 4k, movies, maybe, probably not....games, you'll be lucky to get 1080p native in 70% of games, many will be less

expect 2-3 year old gamin pc quality and your in the ballpark of what next gen will offer, still a huge leap over ps3/360, but people thinking ps4 nextbox will even be in the same league as a gtx 680-690 with 12gb ram and an i7 2600k

lol....keep dreaming, a modern pc will run circles around ps4/nextbox, you'll see as soon as those multiplats drop, the pc will FAR outperform the consoles just like last gen, every game, everytime, with WAY higher resolutions, better aa, af, dof, ssoa..ect..e.ct...ect...

[Ju]

4K has only 2160 lines, hence it would be 2160p (3840x2160). FYI -> 3840 = approx 4k displays

[MONOLITHICIDE]

Your proof landog.

[DA_SHREDDER]

KZ3 gameplay and graphics >KZ2

KZ2's maps and dlc support > KZ3

[ape007]

imo KZ2 gameplay and gfx were much better, KZ3 was very confusing, it was a cluster F, still a nice game but it copied CoD, KZ2 had a different feel than CoD, Im a huge CoD fan but i like other things to be different

the enemies in KZ2 felt huge, every enemy encounter in the SP felt big, the helghast felt larger than life in KZ2, it reminded me of TUROK 2 enemy feel, KZ3 had waay to many enemies and die very quickly and cheaply just like CoD enemies

[MonopolyRSV]

KZ2's 32 players > KZ3's 16 players

[trenso1]

have to disagree kz2 class balance was much better way more options and you could mix match classes. Also the game seemed to play better and didnt feel cluttered or that anything was OP like jet packs and the saboteur class. And with no complete health regen (it stops at 60% for normal and 100% for assault it payed to be a team medic to give players health. Way more team oriented IMO

[rpd123]

Killzone 1 blew in my opinion. 2 and 3 were much better. Still, I hope this rumor is true as well.

[JaredH]

I would like it to be true but I've never even heard of the site the rumor started on so I don't trust it. The site just sounds like someone paid a fortune for the domain name. They have a relatively small following (6000 twitter followers, 0-3 comments per article).

I'll just wait until the 20th to see if it's true or not before getting my hopes up.

[007Bond]

Another copy and paste sequel.... ain't you guys always bragging about new IPs?

[Jazz4108]

How many more killzones is sony going to cram down our throats? This has to be five or 6 since the ps3 release. They have all gone down hill since two and if this one does as well sony should shelve this franchise for a long time imo.

[StraightPath]

Killzone 2 was the only good game. Other then that its a very poor franchise. Hopefully 4 will deliver and get the franchise some recognition.

[showtimefolks]

GG are working on 2 games one is a new IP other is KZ4, this isn't news but still is awesome that it will come this year and may even launch with the system.

KZ series have never sold halo numbers but you launch new KZ with a new system almost everyone who buys the system within first 3-6 months will buy KZ4 so the brand will grow as ps4 itself

i have said it before and say it again give me KZ4 and Gt6 day one and i will buy the system. now it maybe KZ4 with LBP3 which is still awesome so day one lol.

but you better show GT6 running on PS4

i think its a safe bet to assume that on February 20th sony will show the system and may even show some tech demos

but they will not reveal complete specs or maybe they will

but most of the games and other info will be at E3.

this is what MS did with xbox360 show the system but talk about everything else at E3

[MYSTERIO360]

I wouldn't want Guerrilla games to rush the development of killzone 4 i want it to be the best it can possibly be. I hope KZ4 is more like the KZ2 in turns of playable vehicle sections (alot of them)and story structure. Though i think GG need to hire a bigger team for development similar to 343i with guys from id(DOOM) which i think have awesome level and weapon design skills. And possibly guys from Half life and DICE ( with their awesome sound effects). Also i feel GG need someone like Corrinne Yu she did great work on Halo4.

[DeadlyFire]

.... It does not state this year at all in the article. It states Launch Window which could be up to 6 months after launch really. I expect Febuary 2014 we see KILLZONE 4 launch. Why? Well GG has a habit of launching Killzone titles around February since KILLZONE 2, but that doesn't make it impossible.

I hope KILLZONE 4 multiplayer is a little better with better map design. KZ2, and KZ3 were just arena maps. Its time to expand beyond that with more open maps.

[NastyLeftHook0]

And the people clapped there hands and stomped there feet, and praise the lord we have meat.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

lol what?

[Knight_Crawler]

Diffrent stroaks for diffrent folks.

If he likes them meaty then dont judge him.

[Old McGroin]

I agree with this...sentence?

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I don't know why you have 1 bubble. That was funny as hell.

[NastyLeftHook0]

second bubble! thanks!

[profgerbik]

Funny sure but the usage of there instead of their drove me a little nuts. Hopefully that was intended, making a mistake like that twice is almost unforgivable.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

... so was THAT supposed to be funny?

[Walker]

I hope it be in the same qualitative level of KZ2 CGI trailer that they showed at E3 2005 but this time in real-time !

[Zechs34]

We already got that with KZ 2 and 3. Some areas of the CGI demo were even surpassed in the real game and only fell short on a few things.

[Godchild1020]

I don't want the "same qualitative level of KZ2 CGI trailer that they showed at E3 2005." I want it to be bigger, better and in real time, like they have been doing on all the games they have shown so far that are coming this year on the PlayStation 3.

[one2thr]

Nah I'd rather it look just as, if not better than the intro of Killzone 3<- Better than the CGI trailer of KZ2 in my opinion...

[Ju]

Still...just for the fun of it, it would be cool if they would open with the exact same trailer for the presentation ... just make it even look better... and then, zoom out and let it run in real time with someone picking up the controller and running through it on stage. How awesome would that be! (quality ramped up to the CGI scenes from KZ3, yeah)

[Greyslash]

If this is true...Well dammit, I didn't think I'd be buying a launch console...Now I guess I have to.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Well, this seems to be a pretty strong rumor. If true Sony will have a guaranteed purchase from me and the hardcore fans.

But listen, the fans say they want original experiences so far MS already released a Halo and Forza Gears Of War, coming soon.

Fable is said to be coming in 14 so that leaves MS with the anticipated Alan Wake 2, PGR (haven't seen in while) Ryse, Something from Rare, and apparently something Ruffian studios the guys who made crackdown. So that leaves is brand new hardcore Ip's (apparently 4) (and Kinect I guess)

Im not saying Sony is only gonna have 1 game at launch Sucker Punch new game UE4 is in the works. But what I'm saying is, MS won't have their usual line up right at launch but instead (looking like) pure original titles along with Alan Wake 2.

Do you think the next Xbox deserves a purchase just from this evidence? Just based on the hugely possible originality of hardcore games MS could present to us?

Btw I agree with you.

[Greyslash]

To be honest, that doesn't warrant a buy from me. I hate Gears of War with a passion, Rare hasn't made anything good since Grabbed by the Ghoulies, PGR was always meh, and Alan Wake 1 was alright, but I'm not running out to see a sequel or anything. but like I said, that's my opinion.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Would be great if they show some in game footage of Killzone 4 at E3.

[JP1369]

If it really is coming out this year then it will be playable at E3. It would be great to get a nice long trailer on the 20th.

[r21]

The perfect game to showcase the PS4 IMO

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

PS4 + Killzone 4= Brain Explodes!!!!!!!! Day 1

[Chapster]

It makes sense because there were 2 years between the release of Killzone 2 (2009) and Killzone 3 (2011).

I guess their new IP will launch in 2014 then.

[JAMurida]

Is this actual news or rumor? I see the news tag but unless it's "offical"...

[DwightOwen]

It's a bullshit rumour designed to attract hits. I downvoted the site and implore everyone else here do the same.

"Industry sources", my ass.

[Lucreto]

If true it will be the game that makes me buy a PS4.

[rickybadman]

Love how no one complains about Sony milking this franchise. But are always up in arms about new Halos, and Gears

[Root]

Halo 3
Halo Wars
Halo ODST
Halo Reach
Halo 4
Halo CE Anniversary

and thats just this gen

Killzone 2
Killzone 3
Killzone HD
Killzone Mercenary but lets not count that since it's an PSV game

If MS had a handheld you would be seeing a lot more Halo/Gears

So yeah I don't really see the problem here especialy when it's coming next gen and is probably only being made to test out the tec behind the PS4 so when GG do a NEW IP they've had experience

[Gazondaily]

Only three of the games are full on Halo games:

Halo 3, Reach and 4.

Halo Wars is an RTS made by another studio
Halo ODST was pretty much an expansion pack
Halo Anniversary was a HD remake.

Wasn't there a Killzone remake?

[juandren]

Yeah... And all those were still published by MS? Your comment has below zero logic. It's on a different scale of logic. We should start handing out awards on N4G. Killzone HD shouldn't even be counted as it was just there to get this gen up to speed on the story. So that's 2 games in 6 years. Compared to 5 games (I will exclude Halo CE to be fair) in 7 years

[Root]

Who cares if it was another studio, the guy above is talking about milking a franchise, that's what I'm replying to.

It's still Halo at the end of the day whether or not they were made by other studios.

"Wasn't there a Killzone remake?"

Yeah, I said it above "Killzone HD"

[dcbronco]

I assume you don't buy Mario, Zelda, CoD or any EA sports franchise. Companies milk what people buy. Call of duty has two different teams that do nothing but milk CoD.

[Software_Lover]

You forgot about killzone liberation.

And we do count handheld titles because it is still a game. If it were not made for the handheld it would have been made for the console.

disclaimer: I have no affiliation either way with Sony/Microsoft. I just go about the interwebs correcting people on both sides of the stupid debate.

[Skips]

Agreed.

And for every franchise Sony "milks". They creates like 5 new IP's. LMAO.

Same can't really be said for Microsoft. Unless you count Kinect shovel-ware of course.

[JaredH]

They aren't milking Killzone and MIcrosoft isn't milking Halo or Gears, Microsoft is just relying on them in the exclusive front.

If you want milk look at COD.

[chasegarcia]

Killzone 4 in how many years? consoles? This is not milking like AC, Halo, COD, etc.

btw- not saying those games have been bad.

[Seraphemz]

Killzone will be spanning 3 consoles...

Either way, I dont think that any of those franchises are being milked...yet. But they are getting close.

Edit : lol at the two above... I guess we all posted at the same time.

[T2]

Its only milking if the game has little new to bring and is just a rehashed version. Sequels on the other hand should be applauded.

Milking = cod waw
Sequel = mw2 (not sure about mw3 though)

[omi25p]

Nah killzone isn't milked they are still really popular and far from yearly releases.

God of war on the other hand...

[PirateThom]

Killzone:
1 PS2 game.
1 PSP game.
2 PS3 games.
1 Vita game.
1 PS4 game.

6 games across 5 platforms.

Gears of War
4 360 games.

4 games across 1 platform.

Halo:
2 Xbox games.
5 360 games.

7 games across 2 platforms.

I am even counting unreleased games and consoles on the Sony list. Do you see now?

[garos82]

stop it thom you are making too much sense for the sony hater to understand.don't burst his safe bubble of a world he has created for himself, but do burst his commenting bubbles so we can hear less of his trolling

[Software_Lover]

Its still not milking either way. Now if you say Mario. Now that is milking. Mario Tennis, Mario Kart. Mario Soccer. Mario cooking mama. Mario wash my feet. Mario bathing. Mario sims.

That is milking.

[nintendoland]

@software_lover

Milking? Only 7 Mario Karts in last 19 years.
Only 2 Mario football games in last 8 years.
Only 6 Mario tennis games in last 17 years
Rest of those don't even exist.

You are calling Mario milked when Sony has released 4 Uncharted games in last 7 years. Yes I didn't count that card game because it's very different from other games. Same with Mario. I didn't classify all Mario games in the same group. Only Mario series I think are milked are New Super Mario and Mario Party.

[deSSy2724]

The only Mario milked games are NSMB series aka sidscroller series.... but other mario games are very different. Example.... Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, Galaxy Mario, Mario Party and 2D soidescroller, VERY DIFFERENT!!!!

[KiRBY3000]

@Software_Lover

putting a recognizable character in a game is not "milking a serie". its a move to appeal to the people who like said character.

having Solid Snake in Smash Bros Melee doesnt "milk" the MGS serie. you cant make a list of all the games Mario is in and call it "the Mario franchise", because they're different games.

[jetlian]

actually its 4 uncharteds in 5 years 07-12. gow has 7 games in 8 years 05-13.

Motorstorm has 5 games in 6 years 06-12
R/C is like 14 games in 10 years 02-12. If a series is successful it will be made

Im sure KZ4 will be coming next year. This year the vita game.

[omi25p]

wtf has Halo, Gears and Mario got to do with Killzone?

[Albie360]

Cause Halo has been crap since the 1st one. Never got any better!!!

[Lazarus69]

I disagree HALO games aren't crap but they aren't the uber games people make them out to be

[Convas]

Good grief, this is the natural progression once some one brings up Halo in a Killzone thread.

[TooTall19]

@ Software Killzone Lib was last gen (psp) and therefore not included on Root's list.

[Root]

"Spoilers"

So guess we'll see who got out of the pod at the end of Killzone 3

"Welcome home Sir"

[Skate-AK]

Holy crap I forgot all about that.

[Old McGroin]

""Spoilers"

So guess we'll see who got out of the pod at the end of Killzone 3

"Welcome home Sir"

You, sir Root, have just piqued my interest even more for this game, forgot about that!

Edit: You have received 1 Helpful bubs up.

[TekoIie]

Its probably Stahl (hope I spelt that right).

But I would much rather see Stahls father.

[Soldierone]

I think it'd be interesting if its someone that was thought to be working with ISA the entire time.

[modesign]

killzone 4 + playstation 4, for $444 how cool would that be.

[tigertron]

Mmmm Killzone 4 on the PS4 *drools*.

[strigoi814]

nice nice nice....so im expecting PS4 coming out before the year end??? or earlier

[TotalHitman]

If the graphics come close to the AC:R E3 CGI trailer, but in real time, I'll be very, very happy. Of course, the PC elitists will right this off, but I wonder. PC games running on current hardware only look a little better than console games on 7-8 year hardware. Surely, we'll notice a big improvement with the PS4/New Xbox.

[wishingW3L]

shouldn't this be a rumor since the confirmation comes from an "unnamed source"?

[RevXM]

I got 3 wishes for GG/sony that would make Kz4 the best Killzone yet.
1: High end hardware pls. (ps4)
2: I hope they take the Kz2 formula and spices it up a bit.
3: Do not want it rushed like KZ3...

[akaakaaka]

I believe is a new IP from Guerrilla Games this year( they are working on Killzone 4 yes) for a 2015 release date.

I sense that but i may be wrong and it could Be the other way around, The question here is,question here is..
What will make a bigger impact KILLZONE 4 or a new IP?

[XboxInnovation]

No one plays Killzone, u can barely find active lobbies, maybe 500 people login a week not sure what Sony sees with Killzone.

[a_bro]

well, if the rumors are true, expect those lobbies to jump towards almost 200,000 people a week now by the time it comes out since its a launch game and all.

the potential is there. problem is the storytelling and aspects of the multiplayer.

[smashcrashbash]

Well despite the constant negativity about the original Killzones I am excited to hear that there might be one for the PS4.So many rumors are flying it is hard to ignore any of them especially with Sony talking about the 'future of the PlayStation brand' If the PS4 isn't announced on the 20th I will be very surprised.Not disappointed.Surprised.If it is all true the it will be good to get back into a Killzone game

@ momthemeatloaf.Yeah you do know there is more to the game then MP right? There is a SP campaign. You know single player? that thing you play by yourself that people pretend doesn't matter anymore?

[hazardman]

I like the killzone series, but the story does suck ass!! Don't get me wrong its a good challenge cause the AI is great, but its not the best script out. Mutliplayer is where its at with the Killzone series

[smashcrashbash]

You exaggerate just like everyone else. Killzone stories are no worse then any other FPS stories. They 'suck ass' as you put it and millions of people, still defend them. The fact that Killzone stories are worse then other FPSs stories is something drama queen fanboys say.

[sandman224]

That's great news. So ps4 is comming this year. I just hope killzone 4 kills killzone 3 in terms of graphics frame rates and animation. And it be nice to get some city action along with some earthly environments.

[cleverusername]

PS4 rumour no.684 and yet in reality nobody knows NISH!!!!

[TooTall19]

No rocket Assault class and it better have a weighty feel.

[jjb1981]

Yessssssss.....

[Brasi1989]

I can't see a new console launching this year. I expect a 2014 launch for PlayStation and XBOX. Only time will tell though.

[iNathan]

it will look like Crysis 4 on ultra more likely :D

[Eldyraen]

I'll give K4 some credit--it 'might' look better than C3 (at times) as Killzone is more linear and heavily scripted than Crysis so can distribute resources differently. I still don't expect it though although reaching it is much more likely.

For those that disagree... Crysis 3 looks to be more open and have better physics compared to 2 (not sure if on level of original though). No Killzone game has yet to achieve the same open battlegrounds and level of physics possibilities as Crysis (while retaining visual fidelity consistently) as its a more static/scripted game world. Its great at more tightly controlled combat though because of it and I'd go so far its arguably the "best" console shooter (especially on PS). GG has thus far traded interactivity, level scale/openness, etc in exchange for better visuals in a smaller scale (much like C2 did when went multiplatform).

I expect they will still make a great looking game but just question possibility of it reaching that level, especially at launch, without making significant trade offs (consistent textures--the biggest differences with console/PC are consistant quality that isn't being covered up which from a distance is harder to discern). Its when you stand still and look around where you really notice things as bullshots and videos always have a way of hiding or neglecting to show weak points.

Not a big deal, but truth is Crysis 2 on PC was "consistently" better looking than Killzone 2/3. I know its going to get disagrees but the truth hurts and won't stop me from saying it. Doesn't make Killzone a bad looking game and it did have many things that were better (especially human animations, lens flare was cool, etc) but consistency is key and hopefully next gen developers won't need to find as many shortcuts. I'm just looking forward to seeing what next gen consoles can achieve but I'm not going to overhype and expect the unattainable either (especially at launch).

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

i would love to see METAL GEAR SOLID 5 for the ps4...OMG!!! just thinking about how it would look

[PersonMan]

I've noticed that the best looking games have the crappiest gameplay or stories. I want more games like Telltale's The Walking Dead where it's about the characters and their interactions with each other instead of boring generic stories and killing wave after wave of useless enemies.

I'm so over graphics. I just want the fun to come back to games. Killzone 3 looked amazing, but the campaign bored me and the multiplayer was not fun.

Give me a story that pulls me in... makes me believe it... makes me care about my character... instead of just handing me a gun and say "kill everything".

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

i understand what you mean but mgs5 story is incredible. the whole mgs series is well balanced with gameplay, story and decent graphics. but i do know what you mean especially about kz3

[Kidmyst]

This is just another Rumour. I love Killzone and want this, but will not get excited until an official announcement so I just see this as a false rumour. Otherwise I'll get all excited and then the ball drops and it stings.

[ceedubya9]

Would be a very good game to have at launch. Would probably be my first purchase for the console unless some other, bigger franchise was available.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

Haven't all three previous Killzones all released in February? Probably not significant.

[sway_z]

@rickybadman

Sony milking the KZ franchise? ...Are you frickin serious!!!???

Quit the hating on all things that are Sony!!

I remember (not too long ago) when PS3 was the laughing stock of ALL websites...no games, cannot match 360, poor network, low selling 1st party games...!!

Now it would seem even Xbox zealots are swarming to this announcement due on 20.02.

It would be funny if these 'Kids' were kiddin'...but they're not...hypocrisy on the grandest scale!

..Now who's laughing?

*Thanks to 'Root' for the perfect example (Halo######?) in milking a franchise...that's 6 Halo games whipped creamed compared to the low fat/skimmed milk 3 KZ's on PS3....

[kingboy]

Oh my ! the anticipation is killing me

[Chapster]

Call of Duty: 19 games in 10 years

Halo: 8 games in 11 years

Killzone: 6 games in 9 years (includes KZ4 and KZ Mercenary)

Neither Killzone nor Halo games are milked to be honest.

[GABRIEL1030]

Nice, but we need a Helghan campaign, new enemies, factions, species, a new history, protagonist and script. The multiplayer must be free to choose the side, like Killzone 2, and is necessary the control of new vehicles in campaign and in multiplayer. Summarizing we need revolution in Killzone history.

[jay2]

Could very well but KZ 4. BUT they're working on a new IP as well so that's going to get interesting.

[arbitor365]

if it launches with uncharted 4 as well..... the PS4 will reclaim PS2 status in terms of industry domination.

[SonyStyled]

what makes you think the ps3 hasnt dominated? it did just surpass the 360 worldwide a week or so ago for 2nd place

[arbitor365]

I mean the PS2 sold as much as the original xbox and gamecube combined and multiplied times 3. THAT is the kind of domination I want to see again.

[PersonMan]

Why does it matter how many PlayStations are sold?

I have the games I want. I'm happy.

[stage88]

So I come to the comments and I hear people talking about Mario and Halo.
Get that trash out of the comments. I want to talk about Killzone!

[Qrphe]

Guerrilla's main team HAS been quiet for a while (and so has Sucker Punch). I don't care how much the PS4 is, I'm getting it.

[LastXeno]

Yay... KillZone 4. That will be my same reaction with Uncharted 4 and Infamous 3. Yay, I guess?

[WeAreLegion]

If that's your only reaction, then I don't think you've played these games.

[e-p-ayeaH]

very unlikely this year

[WeAreLegion]

Killzone 3's story was phenomenal! Totally owned KZ2. I enjoy both games, as far as multi-player goes. They both have some of the best maps of this generation.

I cannot WAIT for Killzone 4!!! I don't understand gripes about KZ3's story. They made the characters likable and gave us much bigger set pieces. It was epic and memorable!

[LastXeno]

It's not yay! It's more like yay? When Xeno got announced I got excited, when the new Smash Bros and Retro Studios games get announced I'll get excited. With KillZone 4, Infamous 3, Uncharted 4, etc I can't feel it.

[gijsbrecht]

I will buy a PS4 as soon as KZ4 is ready.

[plaZeHD]

Please Guerrilla Games make the story compelling this time around, I mean they have a great concept, but the way the story is told is boring and super cliche. The main characters aren't interesting at all, nobody would care if they die, why? because they terrible characters. And the dialogue makes me cringe.
On the other hand just keep mastering the game-play mechanics and graphics.

[LastXeno]

"KillZone 4 might be the killer IP we need for the PS4!"
KillZone is not that big bro XD

[Sandmano]

It has the potential to be really big though.

[Sandmano]

KILLZOWNED!!! Hope its true and get shown on the 20th :D

[rapidturtle]

If they can tweak the multi player to be a little bit better than KZ3, then we could have a hell of a game on our hands.

[TruthbeTold]

If this is true, then I think THE major difference between how Sony and Nintendo can move forward will be apparent based on how it all plays out. Sony isn't that afraid to lose money for a while. Nintendo is scared to death of losing money, period.

[aNDROiD17_]

damn they need to make killzone 4 more like killzone 2. give back the laggy controls. or im just gunna have to keep sticking to killzone 2

[DarkBlood]

then this will be one of the launch games to go with my ps4 purchase if true. gotta get my hands on the trilogy pack for that HD copy despite already having the second and third game lol

[UnitSmiley]

Totally excited for Killzone 4. Honestly I liked 2 way better than 3, 3 felt like it was far too much like CoD. 2 had it down just right.

I can't wait to see what it'll look like.

[matchu_peechu]

Bad idea. Most people won't make the transfer over to the PS4 right away with the price being so high at release. They should do what GTA V is by having a dual generation release. They'd make a lot more money

[silvacrest]

if its true that the PS4 will launch with a £270 price tag i would have probably gotten it on day one but with killzone 4 at launch? no question

[fingazblank]

Who cares, killzone games have always been shight, seriously all of them, just look at sales figures, even ps2-ps3 owners would agree.

[stage88]

Yes because we all know that a game is only good if it sells well.

/facepalm

[TheOneEyedHound]

The feeling I first got, when I first played KZ2 was incredable.

I will be buying this game, no doubt.

[TheOneEyedHound]

A next gen Resistance if done well, would be great also.

The game had so much potential, but after one it went downhill IMO.

[vydeljr]

I can see it now. Announce ps4 Feb 20, show uncharted 4 killzone 4 and the last guardian running on ps4 at e3 to steal the show and announce that the ps4 is coming out in September with killzone 4 as a launch game and others. Show god of war 4 at the next event after e3 and announce it will drop in march. And release uncharted 4 with ps4 as a bundle for the holidays. I almost jizzed in myself thinking about it.

[remanutd55]

I want Killzone 4 or Resistance 4 as exclusive fps on the ps4, i dont want Gran Turismo 6 at launch instead i want Motorsorm as exclusive racing game on the ps4, New Mm IP, New Sucker Punch IP, MediEvil ps4, Eight Days, The Getaway 3 and The Last Guardian as ps4 launch titles.

[Platinum_k]

That would be FREAKING AWESOME!

I love the series and I LOVE the Playstation brand! Just imagine 1080p and 60fps with super realistic graphics!

...

I WOULD BUY A NEW TV just for this!

[koston3647]

sup with Agent, Last Guardian, Phantom Pain?

[artdafoo]

KZ3 MP was decent, too bad all the cloaked snipers, Sentrys, Rocket packs and Spies ruined it for me. They need to tone it back for KZ4, maybe make it more like a prequal. Go back to the first fight beetween Humans and the Helghast. Kind of like WW2 in a parallel universe. Forget all the doodads.

[RealtorMDandDC]

One of my favorite games on PS3.....

[WeskerChildReborned]

If so that would be totally sweet.

[DeltaCanuckian]

Killzone 3 was better than most shooters, but it was still significantly dumbed down from KZ2. Hopefully this will be a return to glory!

[mayberry]

Spot on comment, finally! I too agree that Killzone 3 is better than the vast majority of shooters released! If Killzone 3 was a multi-plat, it would be touted as one of the best shooters in a decade. Visuals, Soundtrack, Guns, Perks, Online, and "True" 7.1 stereo surround sound only capable on the ps3! And in 3
d to top it off!

[KontryBoy706]

If this happens I'm buying PS4 day one

[MightyMatt101]

Killzone 4 is the perfect game for launch I feel like its the game early adopters want. Early adopters are usually the hardcore fan base like my self and the Killzone ip is pretty solid with the second one being my favorite so far.

[alb1899]

It will be funny if is not that powerful.....i mean i would like it to be but with this hype it will be interesting to see the reactions.

[Prodigy-X]

OMG, come on Feb 20, 2013.

[ziggurcat]

until it's officially announced, it's not coming this year.

i have a feeling there's going to be a lot of crying when sony announces that the next playstation is coming out in 2014.

[Prodigy-X]

Nope, its coming this year more than likely.

[LKHGFDSA]

Why would they do that though. With games like Last Guardian, FFV13, GTA V & Beyond Two Souls still coming out it wouldn't make sense to release the PS4 considering it won't be backwards compatible and PS3 will have all the limelight.

Also the big thing is the number 4. 4k resolutions, $4XX price range, 4th sequels, PS4.
A 2014 release date would be beneficial.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's ANNOUNCED this year. but revealing it at E3 this year in June then releasing it just 6 months later before the year ends doesn't seem right. They'd want more hype to brew, surely?
Months of previews and demos.

[ufo8mycat]

Are we going to get much better gameplay for Killzone 4 or is it going to be the same old generic gameplay as KZ2 KZ3 but only with better graphics?

Sorry but KZ2,KZ3 were average FPS. The gameplay just wasen't that great.

If KZ4 is just going to be the same but with better GFX, I will pass. There are much better FPS out there. Play games like Far Cry 3 and you'll know what I mean

[RickHiggity]

If that's the case, I need one ASAP. Also, screenshots, now!!!!!!!!

[KruLLit]

OMG, GRAFIX SO IMPORTANT!!1!!1.
Get real dudes. Graphics doesn't matter and all of you guys should know it because you are all playing on consoles... Consoles is about gameplay and that's why nintendo is the only company that delivers

[LKHGFDSA]

graphics=/=power.
console games have great graphics. and nintendo are failing with the wii u.
I hope you're trolling and don't actually believe what you said.

[KruLLit]

So that's why Nintendo won last generation in terms of sales and games? The games Nintendo put out on the Wii is by far the best games last generation. Yes, I have a PS3 and played some xbox360 exclusives.

Wii U has been out for a few month and you are calling it dead? Mate, the games will come and it will be an iteration of last generation...

[SOM3ROiD]

Killzone 3 - one of the best MP games this generation.

[LKHGFDSA]

I thought anyone can sign up at VideoGamer.com?
Some noob said somewhere? Not credible enough. (Like ALL the talk of the PS4.)

[Starfox17]

It needs alot of games on GAME website they have a mean line up of WiiU games obviously some are not out in 2013 but at least X is listed. follow this link,click 30 to 49.99 link page2.

http://www.game.co.uk/en/ga... Range_EN_GB&contentOnly=&a mp;a mp;inStockOnly=false&liste r Only=true&pageSize=20& p rovenance=&pageNumber=2&am p;amp ;attributeValue1=35&sortBy = MOST_POPULAR_DESC

I'm not a hater of Sony i like ps4 ect just saying thats a killer line up.

[Starfox17]

Please go to my link i'm surprised N4G hasn't had an article about GAME's wiiu games list use my link above.

[Tzuno]

I like to titty fuck.

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

Dear sony...

PLEASE GIVE US SOCOM 5

i don;t like first person shooters all of them are too casual for my liking to be honest, killzone graphics are good, but the call of duty scenerio makes almost every fps game irrelevent.

[jakmckratos]

Im hoping to see more of those awesome graphics/mechanics from KZ3 with the epic boss battles/weapons of 2. KZ3 was far too bleak..not that I want it to be all sunshine and rainbows in the series but it'd be nice to have an adventurous moment instead of cold snowy space Nazis trying to extinguish the human race.

[PersonMan]

Someone should come out with a multiplayer game that doesn't have any perks, killstreaks or powerups. Just gun on gun, skill on skill. Do you think that will ever happen?
