We mentioned earlier in the year that Killzone: Shadow Fall may just be the most strategic shooter on the PlayStation 4, and this brand new video posted by Official PlayStation Magazine demonstrates exactly what we were talking about. The fifteen minute clip shows four different approaches to a single mission in the upcoming next generation exclusive, and they’re all surprisingly varied.
Much like GoldenEye 007, you can choose whether you want to play stealthily, aggressively, or a combination of both. In one playthrough, the player takes the fight directly to the Helghast, zip lining through a skylight and shooting through walls. In another, a more quiet approach is adopted, as the Shadow Marshal is guided through air vents to get the jump on the orange-eyed antagonists.
You’ll be able to adapt your play styles on the fly, and developer Guerrilla Games is promising that all of the missions will have this variety to them. One stage that we saw earlier in the year allowed us to optionally shutdown an alarm system in order to make breaching an enemy stronghold that bit easier. It’s a big change for the franchise – but one for the better, in our opinion.

cant wait for this - have bf4 and nfs and ac4 pre ordered but I think this is going to sneak up and be played more than I actually think, they are gonna throw it in my mega pack ... SO WHY NOT !!
@MANTAGTJ001 Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this. I've been craving some multiplayer FPS action for a while now, and I think this is going to be my jam. That the single player looks ace too is just the icing on the cake. I've always liked the way the weapons feel in Killzone.
Killzone the original was definitely one of my favourites, hoping this will throw a new lease of life on the killzone series, seems very perfect darky as well WOOHOO BRING IT ON ...
Sounds like they adopted a lot of the lessons learned/applied in Mercenary. Im all for it. Can't wait!
It seems like Guerrilla is doing everything right. Hopefully this is a critical and commercial hit. I don't think Killzone 2, 3 or even Mercenary attained the sales they deserved. With Mercenary I understand why, but there's no reason that at least Killzone 2 shouldn't have pulled in Halo numers, it was one of the top 3 FPS this gen imo.
@get2sammyb @MANTAGTJ001 I'm playing them all for my first time and KZ1 really reminds me of playing SW:BF2 on ps2 with how slow the weapons fire and stuff. If Geurrilla made the next Battlefront, I'd play it.
This gen jump is so impressive! It made me think of the difference between CS 1.6 and Source (or I guess just HL 1 and 2).
Wow this game sounds better and better!!! Come on November 29th
