Looks shit, still a better game than Kz3 though

For a portable game that is looking pretty fine (graphically). If that has a decent offline bots mode it could be worthy purchase for Vita owners.

It looks pretty good for a Vita title but yeah does play alot like Killzone 3...Although it does make me want Killzone 4 more! (only if its like Killzone 2)

Haha - just quietly - I watched that full-screen 720p and it didn't look bad - on the Vita screen I'd say it's going to be the strongest game on the system visually - so the best looking game on the handheld with the best visuals .  Really looking forward to it as well - I quite enjoyed KZ3 (no, it wasn't KZ2, but it was still better than 90% of the shooters out there), and Unit 13's a bit lonely on Vita as the one top shooter.

Yeah, yeah, I know it wasn't a big hit with a lot of peeps - I still had fun though .

More details

Don't have a Vita but found this interesting about the single-player and how after finishing your first play-though you’ll unlock three challenge modes – Covert, Precision and Demolition.

Covert challenge you’ll need to be much more stealthy – you can fail it if you get detected.
Precision is usually about accuracy and how you’re taking out the enemy – headshots, melee kills, interrogations. There can also be a timed element to it. We also have gun challenges in there as well, so you may have to play the mission using a certain weapon.
Demolition is largely about exploding things, as you might expect! You’ll have additional requirements in the mission that you’ll need to destroy.

They all sound interesting and definitely add to replayability, plus I really like how they have added a viable stealth option, wouldn't mind if these carried over to KZ4.

Thanks for the deets Spectre .  I like the sound of that covert/precision/demolition thing, sounds like it could be a lot of fun.  Will most deffo be getting this at launch .

Thats what it says, but what it really means is you'll have double xp for just over a month or until they put a patch out lol

lololol, would be very funny if it happened again .  Looking forward to this, prefer my Killzone's to my CoDs and Battlefields, although not sure why.  All it needs now is space combat .

Is it sad that this looks more killzoneish than shadowfail?

[straussy240]

mmm yeah I prefer Killzone to have its own gritty universe. We don't know the story behind Shadowfall to be fair, but it is starting to become similar to the Crysis series and i don't see how they can explain that beyond 'ooo we found this other planet and its really pretty, but we need to share with those damn helghan...maybe they can be trusted...mmm'

The other thing I don't like is the continual pop up messages for anything you do.

Gotta admit though for a Vita title it looks damn good and the melee animations are pretty cool

Vekta was the backdrop for the first Killzone, and while it was gritty, it had more colour a la Shadowfall (although a tad less detail and somewhat less complex lighting ).  I remember playing alongside Rico in a park full of cherry-blossom trees, for example.  The setting's consistent over time in that regard.

As for Mercenaries, not sad it looks good for me, will be very happy to play it .
