Killzone Games: Platforms, Physical, Digital & How To Play Killzone games If you’re a gamer who cut their teeth on the shooters of the PS2 and PS3 era and you’re looking to bust a cap in some Helghast for old time’s sake, here’s where to play the Killzone games today. Nearly two decades since the original game first hit our PlayStation 2s, the Killzone series is fondly remembered as Sony’s solid flagship futuristic shooter. The Killzone series never did quite live up to the lofty expectations that came with Sony’s investment, though it did drum up a decent following over the years. Yet, despite the slightly mixed response from critics and gamers, Sony was so sure the franchise would come good that it funded multiple sequels. What players got instead was a drop-dead gorgeous futuristic shooter that was let down by its generic space Nazi plot and enjoyable, if repetitive, gunplay. “I think at some point the disc image that we were generating was around 180 gigs,” said van der Leeuw, revealing that “if we would have put all the levels in, which we didn’t, because then the disc image generator broke, it would have been around 290 gigs of data.Back in 2004, the media was convinced Killzone was going to be the “Halo killer,” a vague and ill-defined moniker for the game that would challenge Master Chief at the peak of his power. If they had taken that approach with Shadow Fall, then the file size would have been colossal. This file size is after optimisation too – there’s been a lot of compression, as even Killzone 3 was bigger at 41.5GB on Blu-ray, due to duplicate textures and large video files in a multitude of languages. He also says that due to the more open nature of the game, the surface area is five to ten times bigger than that of Killzone 3. The reason it’s around 40GB is because, well, it’s a next generation title, and that means next-gen textures: “The bulk of it is textures,” Michiel van der Leeuw told Eurogamer, continuing “”I think we’re probably a lot larger than the other cross-generation games, because we have no assets that have been made to a lower spec.” Sony’s new PlayGo system will allow PS4 games to be played well before the hefty download has finished, with Killzone Shadow Fall ready to play after just 7.5GB of the 39.7GB download is complete – that’s less than 20% of the total file size.
