Graphical Evolution of Killzone series: From Killzone on PS2 to Killzone: Shadow Fall on PS4

Guerrilla Games is one such developer who worked almost on all consoles from Sony (ranging from PS2 to PS4) with popular and successful video-game franchise Killzone. So in this feature article we present to you the "The Graphical Evolution of Killzone Series".

Guerrilla Games is known for pushing the graphical boundary on every platform they have work on, and this trend will continue with Killzone: Shadow Fall on Playstation 4. The first official in-game screenshots of Killzone: Shadow Fall clearly show that the scale and graphical bar has been raised once again, and with some many months still to go before the launch, there's room for more improvements.

I was definately impressed by the demo of Shadow Fall. The only thing that bugs me is that I didn'get that sense of desolation and desperation that I had watching the previous games' presentations, especially that of Killzone 2. But I will not judge the game based on one single video. I can't wait to see what Guerilla is going to show us next.

Gimmemorebubblez4498d ago

I agree with you. I hope this Killzone requires skill to play and that it rewards you with an overwhelming sense of achievement like when in Killzone 2,you beat Colonel Radec for the first time. While Killzone 3's campaign was a blast to play it was short lived when I finished the game on the day I bought it. I hope Killzone 4 is difficult and epic. On the topic of the article I think the evoloution of Killzone graphically is amazing.

SilentNegotiator4497d ago

It was more than likely the intro sequence.

And the Helghan are now INVADING. It will absolutely get desperate.

bageara4497d ago

Can't wait for KZ4! But if UK PS4 launch date is confirmed early 2014 the wait will kill me knowing the US are playing this months before us :-/

DigitalSmoke4497d ago

Potential is huge for this game, specially now that an extra 4GDDR5 was added.
here and there the game looked a bit rough still, but thats normal for a pre alpha.

Can't wait to see some online play, PS4 WITH this game on launch?
Holy shit people!

2pacalypsenow4497d ago

extra ? ps3 had NO GDDR5 memory

Adeeyal4497d ago

He means extra than what was rumoured to be included

DigitalSmoke4497d ago

I meant the developers all thought there was only 4 gig of ram, thats what they made the demo's on.
And then in the show Sony released that they actually got 8Gig GDDR 5 in the PS4..

So what we are seeing now in KZ4 is nothing.

duplissi4497d ago

Nothing? extra ram doesnt miraculously mean better visuals...

sigh.

dont get me wrong, its really awesome to have all that ram but dont get all hyped up that the game will suddenly get significantly better visually, the cpu and gpu still need to be up to snuff to make use of it.

ILive4497d ago

More ram means more high res textures, which then equates to better visuals homie.

BootHammer4497d ago

Looks fantastic...Killzone 4 bundle please =)

akaakaaka4497d ago

Amazing! their next game after will improve big time and this evolution pics proves it!

PM here or at PSN to made a day one clan for Killzone Shadow Fall!
let's have a stable solid clan to made our online experience better! team word > playing alone..

who is with me? join me I already got pm's from 4 n4g user's

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation77d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear2177d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon77d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga76d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage76d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing77d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga82d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM82d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box82d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia83d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac81d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE82d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM82d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB82d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion82d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps82d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai178d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga177d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid177d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness177d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt177d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

TheEroica176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider176d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH176d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn177d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion177d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
