Like everyone said, Just go back to what made Killzone 2 (and 3 to a lesser extent) so good and you'll strike gold with Killzone 5... Also, there's was something about the lore and background story regarding the universe Killzone drafted up, I forget.
Well you know what they say, Greatness Awaits (it will never stop being relevant) I was expecting this, at least it's not as bad as GT5... Yet.
@get2sammyb "could have helped Polyphony get stuff done on time." Several delays for Driveclub, then several delays for the Plus Edition. Put a pair of mismanaged studios together and you just add to the mess, they should actually find a studio who can do stuff on time.
I want to be surprised, but I'm ten years beyond the point where it's lost all meaning.
@get2sammyb If that truly is the suspected reason for the delay, I welcome the incoming backlash. That's one of the most stupidest reasons to delay a game since Rise Of The Tomb Raider.
@GlynCR Unfinished story (the remainder of which was incredibly poor), repetitive gameplay (fun at a point), silent protagonist (poor justification), forgettable soundtrack, lack of engaging boss battles & There's absolutely no purpose to anything you do in the game, at no point did I feel engaged or even remotely interested in anything going on.
In short, it's everything an MGS game is not supposed to be.
People want variety, for every AAA game (Saints Row GOH) there's about ten or more indies slapped on the service, which wouldn't be so bad: if indies looked a bit different from each other.
@FullbringIchigo @ShogunRok You shouldn't see a person's name more than twice in an game, seeing it anymore than that (over 50!) becomes very annoying.
I reckon this is a simple GOTY edition (whether Konami goes the extra mile is down to them), which won't add anything to TPP's incredibly repetitive, boring, unsatisfactory & thin paper story.
Yeah, getting people hyped on absolutely nothing thus far (it may be similar to what a FF remake, Crash Trilogy Remake and Shenmue III achieved). Kojima lost his way a long time ago, granted that may have to do with being attached to nothing but MGS, however that Death Stranding trailer....
@BLPs You should play The Phantom Pain, it's basically what every "movie" complainer wanted: A game that defies all standards and just becomes a non-MGS game in the process.
@belmont I was actually thinking about the impact that Pokemon Go will have on the upcoming 3DS entries, then again I can't imagine most parents will like their kids being real life Pokemon trainers (the stories thus far is just unbelievable).
It took Nintendo a long time just to do what everyone else done many years ago. Incorporating Mobile into the business, now if they could catch up with the modern world a bit faster with NX.
@BlaBlaBla
Not to disagree with you in regards to Sony's marketing, but in this instance: how else are they suppose to announce it?
Edit: Also, this game is the very definition of niche, even if Sony were to apply Uncharted-level marketing or somewhere near that, This game ain't going to sell gangbusters.
@themcnoisy Eh, tomato, tomahto: what you call sources is just collating opinions. I would happily accept an unfinished story if it were at the very least an engaging one. it did not end sufficiently, so many story threads left so open: a real chapter with real story missions is needed to clean up that mess.
If the Phantom Pain just followed up on its potential, I could almost accept it as it was. It didn't, so I shan't.
@themcnoisy Sure, The Phantom Pain is brilliant, it is highly praised, yeah. It's just not a brilliant MGS game, that distinction is key. Its anything but and it is precisely for that reason why people like it so much. Even the three Templates for this game didn't stray this far off the course.
A ridiculous statement? I'd be more inclined to believe my opinion is a ridiculous statement if you weren't just using other people's opinions.
@themcnoisy @FullbringIchigo Worst MGS Game in existence, A great game outside all the MGS branding sure.
MGS 5: Ground Zeroes (despite the shortness) did what the Phantom Pain couldn't, be an MGS game, mission variety, great soundtrack. I would rather MGS end on that cliffhanger than even dare to shudder relieve that experience.
In simpler terms, The Phantom Pain can be likened Resident Evil 6.
These comments make me ponder what went wrong in Uncharted 2 SP... Rarely does one element of a game impact the other, Ascension's story was simply written that way.

Or they could remaster Killzone 2.

Red Dead Redemption: Remastered?
Half Life 3 confirmed!
I wouldn't be surprised given GTA V's success.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Software Disappoints Across the Board
Still awaiting slimness, I see.
Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience Announced, Contains All DLC
Well I doubt they could use the phrase "Complete Edition", "Definitive" itself is pushing it. They can technically use GOTY Edition.
But otherwise, besides Ground Zeroes, it's not worth suffering through.

That record is still with Final Fantasy XV itself or The Last Guardian or Agent.

Re: Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Collector's Edition Doesn't Include the Season Pass
@ShogunRok
I'll admit, it is strange ommitance. This right now is just crying for more presents when something of worth is announced.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Collector's Edition Doesn't Include the Season Pass
If you weren't promised the season pass in UE, then Square Enix doesn't have to give it to you.

Re: Gamescom 2016: Metal Gear Survive Won't Be a Full-Priced Release
That said, spin offs of this nature can exist within a franchise. The Venom is real.
Re: Gamescom 2016: Metal Gear Survive Won't Be a Full-Priced Release
Has a horror franchise named Silent Hill, decides to use a stealth/action franchise called Metal Gear instead... Yeah.
Re: Gamescom 2016: Metal Gear Survives Without Hideo Kojima as Co-Op Spin-Off
I thought nothing could be worse than The Phantom Pain, I admit I was wrong.
But, most of the hate directed at this spinoff project is premature and simply from #funkonami.
