Het ziet er wel slick uit, maar ik vind de setting totaal 'niet-killzone'. Het kon evengoed een andere titel geweest zijn.

Killzone: Shadow Fall is momenteel het vlaggenschip van de PlayStation 4-line-up. Niet enkel werd deze titel als een van de eerste games voor Sony’s next-gen console getoond aan het grote publiek, ook zal deze titel een van de launchgames worden wanneer de PlayStation 4 eind dit jaar in de winkelrekken zal liggen. De Killzone-franchise heeft op vlak van verhaal en grafische pracht al meermaals brokken weten maken, maar zal deze Killzone: Shadow Fall binnen enkele maanden die traditie kunnen verderzetten?

What exactly is an OWL?

The OWL is an advanced hovering attack drone used exclusively by the Shadow Marshals to give them all kinds of tactical abilities in the field. It attaches itself onto the Shadow Marshal’s suit until he gives it an order. When damaged, the OWL automatically returns and regenerates health until it receives an order again.

What can the OWL do?

The OWL has several modes you can access via the new PS4 Controller Touch Pad: Attack Mode, Zipline Mode, Stun Mode and Shield Mode.

• Attack Mode orders the OWL to move to an area and attack anyone within range; alternatively, you can tell it to attack a single enemy directly.

• Zipline Mode gets the OWL to fire a zipline, allowing the Shadow Marshal to traverse incredibly quickly from point A to B.

• Stun Mode is similar to Attack Mode, but lets the OWL use up its energy to create an area-of-effect shock blast that turns off all nearby electronics and stuns humanoid enemies within range.

• Shield Mode creates an energy shield right in front of the Shadow Marshal, allowing bullets/projectiles to pass through from his POV but stopping bullets coming in from the other side.

Where did the idea for the OWL come from?

We wanted to give the player more control over buddies in our game, and we quickly gravitated towards utilizing our futuristic theme to create something very technologically advanced and also extremely useful in the field. It was important that it was easy to use in the fray of battle and have suitable abilities for every type of situation the game throws at you, on top of all the other abilities/weapons the Shadow Marshal has at his disposal.

Guerrilla Armory is a series of exclusive Killzone.com articles that highlights new weapons from Killzone: Shadow Fall’s extensive lineup. In the first installment we look at the Helghast StA-55 assault rifle, a successor to the trusty StA-52 and the new standard rifle for Helghast soldiers. Art director and firearms designer Roy Postma answers a few questions about the new design.

Aside from cosmetic changes, are there functional differences between the StA-52 and the StA-55?

The biggest functional change, and one that is not limited to the StA-55, is the reintroduction of attachments. We can switch out various sights and optics, secondary weapon attachments, grips, flashlights, silencers – you name it. This makes the StA-55 even more versatile, but it did require us to go over some functional and cosmetic changes to be able to make them all fit on the weapon in an appealing and functional manner.”
