Something no one's going to care about, but the multilayer font has really bad legibility imo. Too thin.  The first example's a bit unfair because of shield color blending into the text, but the text on the left is still hard to read, and in motion (in the trailers) it was only worse (though, of course, that had Youtube's artifacting). The area name could also do with some boldening.

Although the PS4 doesn't support standard definition TVs any more, since it's HDMI only, they still need to make it readable for people with 720p/1080i TVs. There is also the problem of it blending in, which is usually solved by having white text with a black outline, or vice versa.

It's too condensed for something that should be immediately readable at a glance.

The two biggest problems with 3's multiplayer was the spawncamping and the maps. The maps had like 3 paths and they were all meat grinders and after a while the team that got the middle spawn point could just spawn camp. Im hoping that it has been fixed and that it doesn't control like poo poo like 2 did.

Well I can tell you that fixed map spawn points for teams are shielded in the manner that the people spawning can shoot out, but opposing foes cannot shoot in. I can't tell you if that is 100% going to fix the issue but seems pretty good to me. Also adding the HQ 6 min vid to the op now.

This worries me because Conquest in BF3 kinda works like this, where the team can move around in the spawn point and opponents can't, but it rarely seems to help deter spawn camping. Really, spawns need to flip at some point, which unfortunately just doesn't make sense in some game types. Another problem is determining when to execute a spawn flip, especially on small maps (CoD Nuketown  )

Well unfortunately no real way to tell until game is out there, because it's not like we can get a beta test or anything. It's a known issue and they have addressed it in a way they seem to think works, that's all we can really know for now

Spawn points are one thing in multiplayer shooters that might always annoy me, but it's not like I have any ideas on how to fix them.

I'm doing a full series playthrough before SF comes out and I am about to throw in the gloves at the KZ 2 Radec boss fight. Holy gently caress dudes... I roll out without HUD or crosshairs and KZ2/3 feel more like adventure games with guns. Playing on anything above normal difficulty is an exercise in masochism, though. The intro assaults up to Visari Square are totally rad, as is the ending, but goddamn the middle is poo poo on a shingle

If you watch one of the mp vids you can see at one point the player is spawn camping and there isn't much the people spawning in can do. Well, it looked that way.

It's kinda amazing how much Killzone 4 shits all over the console versions of BF4, in terms of visuals. The disparity between games made specifically for either PS4 or Xbone versus console multiplatforms is going to be titanic this generation, I think.

It'll be nice to have all my stuff before my console so I don't have to make a trip to Gamestop after my console gets delivered, at least. e: GS's website still says 11/15 for me.

Picked up Killzone today at GameStop. It was the only PS4 game they had available for purchase (no Knack, otherwise I would have got that as well). So now I get to throw it on the pile of games I've never played (at least for a couple weeks)! 45GB install in case anyone was wondering.

Woah, I had no idea Killzone had options for no hud/no crosshair. That's awesome. Ever since I went on a big Doom kick a couple years ago I disable the crosshair in any single player FPS games I can, it just feels so good.

There is a huge amount of detail in the worlds, doing away with the gamey elements forces you to rely on the actual game world you inhabit. Your rifles and such have sights on them, why not immerse yourself? I mean, the ISA M-82 has an EOTech 556 on it with the real buttons...

Putting the controls on the inside cover is such an obvious idea, I'm surprised it hasn't been done until now (Knack's cover is the same way, apparently).

If Amazon in the US are shipping because they want to free up room/doing it early is easier, why aren't they doing that everywhere? Our UK stuff isn't going to ship early. edit: probably because the UK is smaller and has a better (not for long!) postal service I dunno? Europe is pretty big though.

Gamersyde just put up some 60fps Multiplayer footage of the forest map. Only downside is it's not a direct feed but someone with a camera http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_killzone_shadow_fall_pgw_multiplayer_played_by_a_simpleton_-31076_en.html Please watch this and tell me you don't see the difference 60FPS makes
