Will We See A New Killzone Game
When the PlayStation 4 launched one of its big first party titles was Killzone Shadow Fall. As a matter of fact it as the Killzone Shadow Fall bundle that I got on launch day.
When Killzone first launched on the PlayStation 2 over a decade ago it had a ton of hype behind it. Some magazines (yes it was that long ago, gaming magazines were still a big deal) were referring to it as Sony’s Halo killer!
Of course, it did not come anywhere close to being that, but Killzone is a series that I have had a lot of fun with. Also, it is a series that Sony clearly has a lot of love for as it has featured on the PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita and the PlayStation 4.
While Killzone Shadow Fall did not reinvent the wheel in terms of first person shooters. I actually really enjoyed the game and felt that it had a strong story which had some pretty cool twists that got me really invested to what was happening. It kind of came and went and no one pays it any attention.
With that being said it has made me wonder if that is it for Killzone on the PlayStation 4? The story really closed quite well I felt so I am not sure if a follow up now would be the way to go. Perhaps a reboot of the franchise is what is needed in order to take Killzone to the next level?
While Killzone may have been one of the first big exclusives for the PS4, perhaps if Sony do decide to reboot the series they would be better off waiting for the next generation of PlayStation to do so. Killzone Shadow Fall can be picked up for as little as five bucks these days and if it is a game you have missed out on I highly recommend that you give it a chance. Especially if you like first person shooters that have a sci-fi twist to them.
