Killzone: Shadow Fall
Guerrilla Games’ Killzone series was always notable for its visual presentation. Though its first several entries—the fraught PlayStation 2 shooter Killzone and then two excellent sequels on PS3—were a little gray and muddy, they were still striking to see in action.
In November 2013, though, Killzone Shadow Fall arrived as a launch title for the PS4 and, while it’s not necessarily the best Killzone from a gameplay perspective, its graphics were a bright, colorful change of scenery for the series and a damn impressive showcase of what was in store for the PS4 graphically. It also ran fairly well, considering how stunning it looked at the time. The framerate was a solid 30fps in single-player, while the multiplayer experience, which has since been shuttered, managed to hit a solid 60 for a welcome change of pace over the perpetually chugging PS3.
