E3 2015: ‘Horizon: Zero Dawn’ Brings A Gorgeous New IP To The PS4

by Josh Jackson

During their E3 press conference, Guerrilla Games, (of Killzone fame,) took the stage to reveal their first project since debuting Playstation’s flagship FPS.

Horizon: Zero Dawn places players in a lush, colorful field, (the complete opposite of Killzone,) where its protagonist, (who shares a resemblance with Heavenly Sword‘s Nariko,) uses a variety of traps to take down towering, mecha inspired monsters that look like they were ripped straight out of an episode of Beast Wars. After doing her best Snow Speeder impression and tethering it down with wires, the impressive demo ends with a long range shot with her high tech rifle, which strikes the exposed weakpoint, delivering massive damage. And it was all in engine, too!

In a sea of remake and sequel hype, it was great to see something that looks as ambitious as Horizon. Whether or not this new IP will live up to the platform it was given to debut on is unknown, but we’ll be sure to report back from the E3 show floor and keep you all informed.

‘Killzone: Shadow Fall’ Launch Trailer Released

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: With the release of the Playstation 4 just a few days away (I’m getting my camping gear ready), Sony has just debuted two new videos for Killzone: Shadow Fall.

The first is the game’s launch trailer, which focusses on the game’s plot, as well as showing off Vetka. The second video, labelled a ‘Tech Trailer’ shows off some of the great new technology coming to the game via the power of the Playstation 4.

Take a look at both videos below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up Killzone: Shadow Fall with you PS4. I’m still trying to decide between it and Knack, any suggestions?

Set thirty years after the events of the Killzone trilogy, the world of Killzone Shadow Fall is a very different place. Forced together by circumstance, the two rival factions of the Helghast and the Vektans live side by side in a futuristic city, divided by a vast wall.

New ‘Killzone: Shadow Fall’ Trailer Reminds Me That I Still Need To Save For A PS4.

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: A new, live-action trailer for Killzone: Shadow Fall has just debuted online.

The video, titled ‘Oaths and Promises’, is a clear example of the excellent marketing that Sony is using this generation (though it’s not nearly as good as this ad).

It also does a great job of reminding me that the PS4 comes out in 10 days, and I still haven’t figured out how to get my hands on one…

In any case, take a look at the video below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game! Killzone: Shadow Fall launches with the PS4 on November 15th!

Watch The Trailer For ‘Killzone: Shadow Fall’

by Derek Kraneveldt

It was a big day for Sony today; a new console was announced with plenty of big name games. It doesn’t have a release date or a price, and we don’t even know what it looks like (how could they not show us what it looks like?)… but it sounds pretty cool.

 

During the conference Guerilla Games revealed the next instalment in the Killzone franchise, titled Killzone: Shadow Fall. The game looks very impressive (though so did that initial Killzone 2 trailer).

 

Watch the announcement video below, and let us know what you think! 

 

 

 Set thirty years after the events of the Killzone trilogy, the world of Killzone Shadow Fall is a very different place. Forced together by circumstance, the two rival factions of the Helghast and the Vektans live side by side in a futuristic city, divided by a vast wall.
 
Tensions are high, and a war can spark at any moment. In the midst of this all stands a Shadow Marshall, the most special of the special forces, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance.

 

Impressed? What did you think of the rest of today’s announcements?
