PS4 and PS3 Launch Titles Compared: Killzone Shadow Fall Vs. Resistance

"It's amazing that we've come so far in the span of just seven years. In November 2006, the PlayStation 3 launched and was widely hailed as the most powerful machine at the time. The PlayStation 4 repeated this trend, despite there being far more naysayers now than seven years ago. But what's most interesting isn't the difference in technology - it's in the launch titles."

Now lets look at Resistance compared to the end of the PS3 generation exclusives like TLOU or Beyond. It's hard to conceive how good games will look on the PS4 in 4-5 years.

Resistance: Fall of Man was an amazing title. It was so alive with the community. I remember we used to schedule clan battles on gamebattles. The whole in game clan and friends system was engaging. The menus were easy and nicely done. Everything was perfect on that game. While xbots complained about no games on PS3 I was playing this all day everyday. FoM will forever be in my memory. Let's hope shadow fall does the same.

OhReginald4244d ago

yea same here, however I how the game was crowded with one-shot kill servers....ugh i hated that...no skill what so ever.

darren_poolies4244d ago

One-shot kill, Manchester Cathedral, 40 players. One of the best and funnest multiplayer experiences I've ever had.

HammockGames4244d ago

@ Reginald - I didn't mine the one hit servers, so long as they were LAARK free

@ Darren

Manchester Cathedral, 20 vs. 20 - I can't count how many excellent hours I sunk into that setup. Some of the best MP gaming to be had!

Great times

thehitman4244d ago

Res:FoM is my top 3 shooters of this gen. It was so well balanced, the entire UI system like you stated was extremely good for a launch game, infact a lot of games still dont have as good as a UI system as that which is sad. I racked up so many hours on Res:FoM with my friend. I loved the matchmaking and ribbon/medal achievement system. If shadow fall does the same, which I dont really have high hopes for I will be on that thing for months.

ginsunuva4244d ago

40 player mp at the time was amazing!

The number of maps, game modes, and weapons were so huge that I don't think I got to play on every variation of each map throughout my 50 hours online.

sprinterboy4244d ago

Got pretty much all my psn buddies playing resistance

Pintheshadows4244d ago

I remember when I thought Resistance had pretty jaw dropping visuals.

WeAreLegion4244d ago

Resistance was a nice looking game, but nothing incredible for the time. However, both the game play and story were amazing! And the shattering effects of the windows totally blew me away. :)

15 Last-Gen Games That Still Compete with Current-Gen Graphics

GB: "Say what you will about the state of the industry, but even as games evolve, their graphics remain a key aspect. Even some of the biggest flops this year sport some gorgeous visuals, as publishers and developers push the boundaries of what’s possible, pouring years of time and money into their work."

Quantum Break and Ryse are two that I was really surprised did not get an FPS boost option when played on the Series X|S. when i started playing both on the XBO, I thought they are both good, but after playing them also on my steam deck (in 60fps) I just cant go back and play the base games on XB. They really benefit from that faster frame rate.

Driveclub is another i wished had a HFR mode on PS5.

MatrixxGT220d ago

Most games this gen are the exact same except now we get faster loading through SSD and a res and fps bump. Graphically not much has improved, hell most last gen games are being relabeled and resold as “remastered” with the aforementioned updates.
I haven’t seen or played anything on either platform that couldn’t be run on last gen. Guess the law of diminishing returns is really showing itself these days.

127maXimus220d ago

Most games from 20 years ago are basically the same as today, with resolution and fps upgrades. The AI is still just as braindead as it always has been, worlds are full of static, boring characters that do the same thing over and over.

Demetrius219d ago

Smh another reason why graphics haven't improved that much is because most devs too caught up on cross gen. Ps4 was/still a dope console but time has moved on we're halfway close to a ps6 reveal and devs still will be making games on last gen in 2025. Then theres Microsoft purposely got the Xbox series s that causes more devs to try to pull strings as much as they can smh. It's a mixed bag of stuff, the only ones I see pushing hardware is sonys studios and even some indie games look better

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX227d ago (Edited 227d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne227d ago (Edited 227d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro227d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken227d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown227d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72227d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken227d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya226d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast227d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood227d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff2183367d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken367d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff2183367d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken366d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga366d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga366d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows90366d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack366d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike366d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde366d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken366d ago (Edited 366d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor366d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie366d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut85366d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno367d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf366d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken366d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff2183367d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH367d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE367d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH366d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner367d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989366d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989366d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long367d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole366d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long366d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb367d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX366d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)
