''Killzone Shadow Fall'' is a first-person shooter video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the sixth game of the ''Killzone'' series and the fourth game of that series for home consoles. ''Killzone Shadow Fall'' was released on 15 November 2013 as a launch title for the PlayStation 4 in North America and 29 November 2013 in Europe. The game was released on 22 February 2014 in Japan. Taking place 30 years after the events of ''Killzone 3'', ''Shadow Fall'' follows a new set of characters, putting players in the role of Lucas Kellan, a "Shadow Marshal", who is investigating a rising threat in the continuing war between Vekta and the Helghast. As the first game in the series made for next-gen consoles, ''Killzone Shadow Fall'' received a number of changes to the series formula. The single-player campaign is more open-ended and stealth-based than its predecessors, and the multiplayer modes feature new customization options for weapons. ''Killzone Shadow Fall''s reception was generally favorable overall; it was widely praised for its visuals and multiplayer modes, but criticized for its single-player campaign, several gameplay aspects, and lack of innovation as one of the first eighth generation games. As of January 2014, ''Killzone Shadow Fall'' has sold 2.1 million copies, making it the first PlayStation 4 game to pass the million copy mark and the best-selling PlayStation 4 game. ==Gameplay== Like its predecessors, ''Killzone Shadow Fall'' is a first-person shooter in a science fiction setting. Staple weapons such as the M82 Assault Rifle, stA-52 Assault Rifle, and stA-18 pistol return from the earlier ''Killzone'' games, albeit in new forms and variations. New weapons include the LSR44, a recoil-free, hybrid assault/charge sniper rifle that functions much like a miniaturized rail-gun, and the OWL, an advanced hovering attack drone (used by the Shadow Marshals) that can attack/stun when it is adjacent to an adversary, as well as deploy an instant zip line, protect the player from enemy fire with an energy shield, and hack/scan terminals and enemy alarms to prevent reinforcements from arriving. While the previous games in the ''Killzone'' series portrayed a large war-zone with numerous allies by the players side at any given time and an overall linear design, ''Killzone Shadow Fall'' opts for a more open-ended, stealth-based approach. Levels are much more open than in previous games, allowing for multiple ways/routes to complete objectives. Also in ''Shadow Fall'', for the first half of the campaign, the player is alone in firefights, with the OWL as the player's only "companion", which is able to lay down cover fire, among other abilities. During the second half onward, the player is occasionally joined by Echo as an ally, where she is able to snipe enemies marked by the player. Multiplayer ships with 10 maps, with more on the way. Users are encouraged to create their own custom map presets called "Warzones", which then can be shared with others or promoted by the ''Killzone'' community. Classes, abilities and weapons are unlocked from the start. The class system has been simplified to just three: Assault, Scout and Support (with some medic abilities from previous games now subsumed under "Support"). The player unlocks skill enhancements based on completing challenges unique to his class. Alongside competitive multiplayer, a 4-player online co-operative mode was introduced with the ''Intercept'' expansion pack, released on 24 June 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Killzone Shadow Fall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
