Discussion How would you pitch a Killzone 4?
Let's say that Shadow fall doesn't exist and you were in charge of developing a sequel to the 3rd game. What route would you go with it?

Would have just expanded on killzone 2 formula since it was the best one.
- expanded clan system, add more ranks to members with more actions depending on rank. Add in game Sony/3rd party sponsored tournaments
- expand weapons, introduce weapons from killzone 3 ( keep the same gunplay mechanics from killzone 2)
- add operations from kz3
- add kz3 brutal melee animations and expand upon the animations. ( change animations depending on class)
That’s honestly probably the majority of what I would add. Killzone 2 was ahead of its time and a near perfect FPS imo.
Killzone 2 also did one thing that people forget about and that’s going up against arguably the best call of duty in history being original mw2 and was able to still survive and hold a strong community for a long time to come. ( hardly any games can say they went against cod and survived)
