We won't even see a stable 4k for the next generation of consoles.

Not even the strongest single gpu can even handle the latest games on 4k at 60 frames and max settings.

LightofDarkness3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Well console games are typically happy to sit at 30fps with a mixture of medium-high settings (and some custom effects), the next gen will likely be pushed to go 4k. I see visual detail levels beginning to settle into a status quo of "good enough" over the course of this gen; it's much too expensive already to make games (hence DLC, pre-order content, season passes etc.) and pushing much further with artistic detail will increase costs exponentially. I reckon next gen will focus on mildly enhancing current detail levels but improving resolution and framerate. 4k might seem like a stretch now but we're talking 5 years from now.

It might be like last gen with the handful of 1080p games it offered, but I've no doubt it will be there. Next gen should at least make 1080p/60 a standard, regardless.

ManOfTheYear13887d ago

LMFAO

We will NEVER see a game running in 4K on the PS4. EVER.

Meanwhile, I can't wait for World of Tanks on the Xbox One which will be running in 4K.

Not 2 years into this gen and already Xbox One is the first to have a 4K game.

Funny...Xbox One was also the first console to see a game running in 1080p and a locked 60fps.

Sony has said themselves PS4 won't have 4K games and that you will only see 4K playback video.

Meanwhile, Major Nelson has said Xbox One will have 4K games...and behold, World of Tanks confirmed to be in 4K.

Rimeskeem3888d ago

Who knows, maybe the next game will be an 8bit shooter.

LostDjinn3887d ago

I sure hope whoever wrote this was joking.

_-EDMIX-_3887d ago

The deep, deep lolz. Who the hell is approving these articles?

First that is developer dependent, not console, if they want to make a game at that res, they are free to do so, clearly at many, many and I mean many limitations.

Second, Sony has already stated they have no plans for 4k gaming this gen with PS4.

Third, 4k on a new killzone doesn't mean it would look better, the trade-off would be so damn significant that many features gamers are expecting would not be their.

Lighting, shadows, real time particle effects, animations etc, they would need to tone down sooooooo much, that your ONLY getting a better res, but what the hell is a better resolution to a game that looks like crap? To do that is to make Killzone look LESSOR graphically based on what they have to turn off and remove just to hit that number.

You'll just have a crispy looking, flat, non-texture, no real time lighting, slow running game. Who wants to play that?

I'm confused as I thought they might have meant Killzone 1 from PS2, as I 100% can see that running in 4K on PS4 as I can see original XB games running at 4k on XONE as some of those games that gen lacked many features that would make it hard to put in that resolution to make it playable. ie Killzone 1 on PS4 in 4k is likely very doable, vs Killzone Shadow Fall as in its current state and quality is technically impossible.

If they wanted to, they would have already done so, but its clear its not worth the huge trade-off in effects, quality, features JUST to get such a thing. Those bragging rights don't get folks buying PS4's as I'm pretty damn sure Halo 6 in 1080p, 60fps will destroy anything in 4k on CURRENT CONSOLES as they can focus on graphic quality and pushing many effects, vs a game that can't.

This article had might as well be about Ouya getting Half Life 3 at 4k....

Not news, doesn't technically even make sense and doesn't factor many, many things.

Mega243887d ago

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, it's just hypebole.

deadpoolio3163887d ago

It has to be considering BOTH console makers have stated publicly that NO Xbox One and PS4 cannot do 4k gaming...4k Video YES, they are both capable of that but not gaming...So its not like some secret when they are both saying their consoles are unable

medman3887d ago

Make. Believe.......Unbelievable.

DC7773885d ago

It must be a joke because Shadowfall made my ps4 sound like it was going to burn up or something as it is.

There won't be any games this gen that can play games at 4k. Just requires way too much power. Even the average GPUs for PC struggle to hit 4k while also being playable.

Instead of Killzone at 4k on the PS4 I'm sure will see killzone on VR. We did see K3 in the move so it makes sense.

yarbie10003888d ago

They can't even keep a stable FPS with 1080P 30fps. So I woudln't bet on it

Rimeskeem3888d ago

uhhhhhh, what game has that problem that you know of?

MasterCornholio3887d ago

Wasn't the problem that it was above 30FPS but then they released a patch that allowed you to lock it at 30FPS?

We are talking about Killzone Shadowfall right since this article is about Killzone.

As for games with 1080P and a rock solid 30FPS there are plently of examples. Like Batman Arkham Knight for example especially after the patch.

MasterCornholio3887d ago

Will not happen with either system.

Helldivers 2 sparked renewed interest in Killzone. Do we deserve it?

Now, with most games these days, live service included, comes the inclusion of microtransactions. In Helldiver 2's case, these come in the form of Warbonds and the superstore. Some of them were a hit, others were a miss. But one of the superstore items that have sparked interest is the Killzone set. While this is nice, this would have much better served as a warbond. Putting it in the superstore comes off as greedy, but that's an issue for another video. More to the point, the Killzone franchise fanbase had taken note, and it sparked renewed interest in wanting the series to be revived.

lol well, as fans we'd naturally say that (yes myself included).

But given some of the complaints the series garnered over the years when it was available is why we asked it it was deserved

RaiderNation320d ago

I think it does. A complete reboot would be ideal with a better story and main protagonist. I love the asthetic of the Killzone universe, along with the premise of Earth warring with another planet of humanoid beings, and Earth possibly being the antagonists. They just need to develop a good main protagonist and have better writing. A Killzone reboot in the latest version of the Decima engine would be incredible.

Abear21320d ago

If it makes dollars it makes sense, that’s how these decisions are made.

Clearly Sony or whoever makes this decision isn’t convinced Killzone would sell enough to support the cost of development. They also have a hit with Horizon that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and prints money.

JunonZanon320d ago

A trilogy remaster with KZ2 MP would be a good start

Cacabunga319d ago

With Move and sharpshooter support? I can dream!

lodossrage319d ago

considering the time we live in, it would more than likely get a VR option to replace the move support

Jingsing320d ago

Not unless they come up with some amazing marketing campaign otherwise it will just perform as bad as Halo these days.

Killzone composer would love a remaster trilogy, “don’t know if a new game” would be successful

Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn composer Joris de Man would like PlayStation to make a remaster trilogy, but not a new game.

Id like a remaster trilogy and the ps vita version remastered as well. It should also have killzone 2 multiplayer

Cacabunga325d ago

Yes make them start with KZ2 multiplayer remake as standalone!! I would play the carp out of it.

INMATEofARKHAM325d ago

Knowing Sony and how the Uncharted remasters shipped without their MP components they'll likely do the same with Killzone.

Outside_ofthe_Box325d ago

Then there's no point in remastering it imo. KZ2's MP was the best thing about Killzone.

Knightofelemia326d ago

I'd day one a remaster trilogy I'd even day one a remaster trilogy or Resistance as well.

GamingManiac323d ago

Same! But with KZ2 and R2 multiplayer!

JEECE325d ago

I'm glad they stopped making Killzone before people started saying "mid," so I am spared seeing all the braindead "Killzone is actually mid" takes that people inevitably would have offered up in lieu of legitimate analysis.

INMATEofARKHAM325d ago

They were mid, tbh. Just the best Sony put out in the 1st person/exclusive department.

RedDeadLB325d ago

I don't know about that. They weren't the greatest shooters out there, sure, but nothing even came close to the atmosphere of 2 and 3. The feeling of weight, the animations, the style, the multiplayer and the trophies made it one hell of a game. All shooters are in essence point and shoot, but few make you feel the way Killzone made you feel while doing it.

senorfartcushion325d ago

They will cast a woman on one of the lead roles, just like how they did it in the past, but toda's nerds will find an excuse to be angry about it.

ibrake4naps325d ago

It should be a crime that they didn't put out a version of part 2 that supports their VR headset. A no-brainer...

Killzone Deserves More Than A Helldivers 2 Crossover

I would really like a remastered killzone trilogy on ps5. I wouldn't mind even just a killzone 2 remake or remastered with multiplayer but I think it's time for sony to revisit the franchise and do something big.

isarai421d ago

Id love that, with 120fos modes Augh😩

Cacabunga420d ago

KZ2 was and still is masterclass.
KZ3 was great too but KZ2 had a better multi.
SF was not as great but solid game still.

We just want KZ2 remake!

Becuzisaid420d ago

@cacabunga
Don't leave out that Vita game (Mercenaries?). That game was phenomenal. I rank it between KZ2 and 3.

Army_of_Darkness420d ago

Acknowledging the current trends of Sony, I would say if they were to make a new Killzone, they would probably remake it into WokeZone😂

Knushwood Butt420d ago

The isometric game on PSP was a blast too. Had a really solid feel to it. Hope that gets a release on PS Plus Premium.

TheEroica419d ago (Edited 419d ago )

Begging for remastered games is just so lame... Killzone was mid. Nothing more. Make new stuff.

TriniOutsider419d ago

They're making new stuff...

FPS_D3TH419d ago

lol yeah about all that new stuff….

chicken_in_the_corn420d ago

It needs a new game. Better yet, a new stand alone trilogy.

robtion420d ago

Killzone 2 was INSANE when it came out. The look/graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time and the story and gameplay were top tier. It still looks better than a lot of games that release now.
