"To increase longevity even further, we plan to continue support for the title well after launch - and yes, DLC multiplayer maps will be released free of charge to ensure everyone can play."įree DLC is out of the norm for Sony's first party titles.
Guerrilla has not announced the cost of other potential DLC, but maps are expected to not cost a single penny. Victor Zuylen, Community Editor at Guerrilla Games posted the following on the official Killzone site: Guerrilla announced that DLC maps for Killzone: Shadow Fall will be free for download, with the goals of keeping the community constantly up-to-date, and facilitating that growth. Sony took to Gamescom last week to showcase new multiplayer details for Shadow Fall, highlight how it's going to change the way Killzone is played online and discuss the plans for free DLC. The PS4 will be no different, with Killzone: Shadow Fall representing one of its most impressive and highly anticipated launch titles. Over the past few generations these "must-have" games have been dominated by first person shooters, from Halo and Perfect Dark to Killzone and Resistance. If you do plan on picking it up digitally, it's already available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store.Every new home console needs its killer app. Killzone: Shadow Fall remains on target for the PS4 launch. "But I think all things considered, this being launch and we've got like 2 minutes 44 from disc to the first level and no installs, I think it's already a massive improvement over previous generations," he added. I think next time around we'll try to see if we can design something that doesn't jeopardize the game which will make it even friendlier." "I think if we would have known exactly how everything would work.
"The initial chunk of 7.5GB is quite big," he said. Technical director Michiel van der Leeuw acknowledges this is far from ideal, but expects the process to improve over the generation as developers keep the feature in mind.
The initial 7.5GB will be enough to play the first level, while the second level continues downloading in the background. Guerrilla Games confirmed the figure to Eurogamer, who saw the game at a recent event in Amsterdam. For example, Shadow Fall will still require a 7.5GB initial download before it can be played when purchased digitally. In reality, PlayGo won't be as immediate as many had imagined. Through a feature Sony is now calling "PlayGo," you'll be able to select which part of the game you'd like to download first- single or multiplayer-and then play the game as it downloads. With games like Killzone: Shadow Fall clocking in at nearly 40GB in size, it wouldn't be practical to sit and wait for such a huge download to finish before playing. One of the new features Sony promised when unveiling PlayStation 4 was the ability to play games as they download from the PlayStation Store.
