This is an old version for sure. Its missing all the cool particle effects and notice how the bullet casings are missing as the gun fires....both were present in the trailer

In terms of recoil, I doubt it will be as heavy as KZ2 especially with no aim assist this time round.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can "upgrade" your abilities in-game like Honor Badges.
I remember seeing the spawn beacon upgrade in a gameplay video.
Let's hope this 25 foot radius was the final upgraded version of that scan.

Seems squads are completely gutted.
SLIDE AND COVER both in the Multiplayer!!! :O Cover should really, REALLY change this game up, no?
Scout sounds forced to carry the knife as soon as you turn invisible. I guess this means you can't snipe while you're invisible anymore? I thought that was perfectly balanced in KZ2, where you were countered by other snipers using spot and scan. There are probably other kinds of cloaking-- I'm guessing there will be one like in KZ2 where you disrupt your cloak if you move, but allows you to carry a weapon

Cool story, bro???
I agree that it looks like a very standard fps regarding the gameplay. The art design has gotten a massive step up for me though. I love the look of the trees. It reminds me of Mirrors Edge and parts of Halo Reach. I do wish it was doing something to stand out with the gameplay. Maybe a different mode or the owl will make it unique somehow.
wow that looks great. getting a mirror's edge art design vibe from the levels with the contrasts. getting this at launch for my "showcase" game.
not sure I am a fan of the tagging system so you can see enemies through walls. i played killzone 2 and 3 for the single player though, never touched multiplayer.
Yes you could counter it in KZ3 with a Marksman. I gather they will bring back the ability to jam S&M in some form or another in Shadow Fall.
From all the GC footage I've watched it seems like almost seems like there are 3 different builds we've seen footage from for MP. The version Shu played on stage (which is probably the same as this one), the MP reveal trailer (some more effects than the playable version), and the 6 minute one.

Yo yo yo, test out the abilities please? See if weapons are class specific? Videotape the spawn menus (so I can see the weapons, honor badges, etc).?
I really want to see what the honor badges all are, the abilities/upgrades, etc.
Press Share for me.
Would that mean that the version with the framerate issues is probably the most stable at the moment, which is why it's the one being shown to the public? A lot of people aren't that good at discerning drops in framerate, but everyone will notice when a game crashes, so it would make sense if that were the case.
My guess as well. Worst case scenario is that the one with the unlocked framerate is what the 60fps build is going to be. Only GG knows for sure.

Check as much detail about the gameplay as possible, how many abilities are available, guns, attatchments.....Anything that can indicate if the game is still centered around teamwork or lonewolf. Are turrets deployable, drones, spawn grenades etc
Also about the controller, is the touchpad within reach of your thumbs without loosing focus on the thumbsticks?
There are drones and spawn beacons.
They've said there are much grittier environments in the game. We still haven't seen the Helghast part of the city. It seems like they're making a point of showing the newer, more colorful stuff now to appeal those who wanted more variety.

ADS everywhere. COD fast pace. Smaller COD map design.
Well then I guess KZ2 was CoD because Blood Gracht, Radec, Tharsis etc etc. Stop talking out of your ass and lets wait until we get to see more maps and people playing the game properly.

It does and I like it! It's got a nice futuristic look because of it. Nice to see lean and peek and sliding too,plus some destruction to spruce it up a bit

I like that the Spawn Beacons will be destructible. It is a happy medium from the spawn grenades in KZ2 where you couldn't destroy them, and the immovable beacons in KZ3.
Hopefully, this will cut down on the spawn campming.

Nice. Super smooth, weighty weapons, with no input lag.

ADS is seemingly effective though. It wasn't really like that in KZ2. Haven't seen non-ADS firing, but I'm hoping it's like KZ2. It means nothing until they add in the recoil, which I still am skeptical they will do to proper effective.
It's even colorful when near death or down-state.
Loved in KZ2 when the colors faded away and the sound muffled when dying.Also whats up seeing teammates through walls as green ghosts?

It wasn't at all in KZ2 because of the lag.The only way to play was to NEVER look down sights.
Ok so they're not showing the rain map. The demo cycles to it, then resets.
The framerate seemed much more solid this time. Almost always 60 with occasional drops. I don't know what the deal was yesterday. I tried out a bunch of weapons, but most of the abilities appear to be locked for this demo. It was just the turret, shield, and revive bot, which you can use to remotely revive allies. The shield seems a little bit cheap. Most of the assault weapons take 5-6 bullets to kill, and the semiauto sniper took 3 bullets to kill.

ya i agree
Thanks for the impressions again, you are a veteran gaf hero bro.
I suspect the framerate is more unstable than usual because you are playing against bot, but the almost always 60 fps reinforces my optimism.
Nice.

Nice.
If there is any one I trust when they say "Targeting 60fps" it is Guerrilla Games. They are Gods at this stuff.

lol that ending animation... it said that his faction lost and it showed the Helghan logo... was that the winning team logo or his faction since with that cutscene ending it just confuses me even more if the Helghan faction did indeed lose

the particle effects are missing any sign of dofor motionblur? what about the grenade explosion???
Do you think that these are issues that will stand out? If I won't go looking for them, will I spot them? And what exactly do you mean by aliasing issues, jaggies on characters for example?

What do you make of the sound design, foot steps, voices, gun sounds, explosions?
