Killzone: Mercenary update lets you play it on the big screen from November 14th with PlayStation TV compatibility

New checkpoint system implemented, too

Killzone: Mercenary update lets you play it on the big screen from November 14th with PlayStation TV compatibility

As of yesterday, the Silver Award-winning Killzone Mercenary is compatible with the PlayStation TV.

That means you'll be able to play the Vita-exclusive first-person shooter on the big screen when the PS TV launches on November 14th.

Developer Guerrilla Games has adapted the game's touchscreen controls (that were built with the Vita in mind) so that they work with the Dualshock controller.

The example of this it gave is the image below. It shows a prompt to push the analog sticks together to perform an attack, rather than pinching your fingers on a touchscreen.

Guerrilla also says that is has tried to balance the game's multiplayer so that neither Vita of PS TV players have a distinct advantage.

A new restart-from-checkpoint feature has also been implemented in the game's latest update. This lets you save the game mid-mission and return to it later if you wish.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of PlayStation TV compatible games, you can see a big list of them here.
