Well sure, the Helghast are nightmarish neo-Fascists, but they evolved that way after being used as human chattel by the Vektans and abandoned on a merciless planet. Despite the beauty of Vekta and the extraordinary technical wizardry on display, the game does its absolute best to paint almost every character as an awful, irredeemable person engaging in an awful, hopeless cycle.Īs the story progresses, every offense by one side is one-upped by the other, further muddying the ugly history of the entire conflict even further. Killzone has always flirted and later actively courted an early-20th century sort of nihilism with regards to humanity's predilections to endless, aimless war. But more often than not, they're buried in muddy shades of grey. Somewhere in all of this, there must have been a story worth telling, and like shafts of light in a ruined building, these bits occasionally shine through. There are also strong echoes of the post-WWII socialist/capitalist divide of East and West Germany during the '70s in the sorts of maneuvering and secret police actions of both the ISA and the Helghast. What about you? Does getting the highest resolution and framerate possible factor into your decision making for which system to buy? Are you a PC purist? Share your thoughts on the Killzone video and the future of graphics in gaming in the comments below.There's some grasping in Killzone: Shadow Fall's premise toward higher social commentary and exploration of real world political drama, particularly the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The battle for next generation consoles is far from over, and resolutions and framerates may, in the end, be a reason one console does better than another. The game is running on a maxed out PC with all the settings on Ultra, and while the PC certainly looks better, it’s clear to see how much closer a next-generation console has come to recreating that experience than ever before. Digital Foundry recently put together a video showing the graphical differences between the PS4 and PC versions of Battlefield 4. The war of words on the internet has gone back and forth between gamers, with some saying 1080p and 60fps is an absolute necessity if developers want to be able to call their game next-gen, while others say they can’t see a difference in quality.
