We already knew, of course
Long before loot boxes and horse armour, there was a different kind of gaming scandal engaging forum goers: was the Killzone 2 reveal trailer real or not?

Hig budget
Out of all of Sony’s first-party franchises, Killzone is probably the least deserving of a big screen adaptation.

Gun to go
The system may be selling like crazy, but if there’s any injustice about the PlayStation 4's launch it’s the lack of appreciation that Killzone: Shadow Fall’s multiplayer component has received.
