No backup videos for Guerrilla to fall back on during unveiling of next-gen game
Killzone maker Guerrilla Games says its reputation has been redeemed thanks to its on-stage unveiling of its latest FPS during the PlayStation Meeting in February.
Upcoming PS4 title, Killzone: Shadow Fall, was revealed to the world as a live gameplay presentation, and, speaking to Edge, Guerrilla said it was glad to redeem itself after its misstep at E3 2005.
Guerrilla’s managing director and co-founder Hermen Hulst said revealing the PS4 Killzone in this way “absolutely” felt like redemption.
“That was one thing where we went ‘Okay, next time around we’re going to be on a stage we’re going to make sure it’s real’,” he said.
When Killzone 2 was unveiled for the PS3 in 2005, by way a of ‘target footage’, its was criticised for being a misrepresentation of what players could expect from the real in-game experience. Since then, its continually been used against the studio by critics and gamers.
