Think the Berlin Wall, but on a planetary scale. In the years that followed, Helghast refugees were allowed to settle on Vekta, but the two societies, unable to co-exist, were kept apart by a heavily fortified wall. Shadow Fall takes place 30 years after the end of Killzone 3, which saw a definitive end to the war. This is a next gen exclusive, so you’d expect something you’ve never seen before. Shadow Fall resets that story, creating an entry point for new fans, but in the process it also sacrifices some of what made the series so gloriously over the top in the past. Five of those focus on the all-out war between the bitter and mutated Helghast and the Interstellar Alliance (ISA), with most of the conflict unfolding on the neighboring planets of Helghan and Vekta. A decade later the franchise has released six games on a variety of Sony platforms. The Killzone franchise has been an exclusive series on PlayStation devices since the original debuted on the PlayStation 2 back in 2004. That’s where games like Killzone: Shadow Fall come in.

That may satiate people for the moment, but with two major consoles being released a week apart, having exclusive content goes a long way. There are several major franchises on the list, but most of them are upgraded versions of multi-platform titles that were already released. One of the legitimate knocks against the PlayStation 4 is its underwhelming launch lineup. Beyond the graphics, nothing you haven’t seen before
