Seeing this,we need a Killzone 1-3 Remastered Collection. Right. Freakin'. NOW. Just imagine these titles in a graphical quality matching standarts today😱
Ugh. As much as I would love to play those games again, I don't want just some simple graphic remaster like it's not ps2,3 days anymore it's ps5. I crave some true next gen shit. Linear stories and unmanipulatable environments are OLD
@CallMePsycho I have no idea man. I expected so much more in gaming by now. But it's all just the same old with better graphics and mictrotransactions..
Great video love killzone and its always nice to see someone talking about it. Just a note but it wasn't vekta that offered half the planet but earth that forced the issue due to the isa and vekta disobeying orders and invading helgan in the first place when earth had told them to blockade the planet only
I find Shadow Fall a frustrating game. I LOVE what it wants to do from a gameplay/story standpoint. I still replay campaign missions years later because of the gameplay. But certain levels are poorly designed still, the story is AWFUL, and major changes make this hardly feel like Killzone.
Vekta belonged to the Helgast until Earth's government screwed them, crushed them and banished the survivors to the more hellish of the two worlds they controlled prior to the war. Giving them half of what was once theirs as a gesture of reconciliation might not be the smartest idea but I can see the logic.
Came here because not many people make Killzone videos expecting a sub par small RU-vidr but wow how do you only have 2k subs? Great video mate! Top quality stuff, As are your other ones, similar taste 😅 Have you ever played the infamous, ratchet & clank, dishonored or borderlands games?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video mate and thank you so much for the kind words! I have played all of those series and in due time I will cover them all here on the channel my friend 🙏
Another series in the books! I had a lot of fun revisiting the Killzone series today as it had been a while since I'd fought against the Helghast. Enough from me though, what are your thoughts on Killzone Shadow Fall and what's your favourite game in the series? Let me know in the comments!
Now then mate, just happened upon your channel while searching for a review/retrospective on Shadowfall. To say I'm impressed by the content would be am understatement 👍 Due to work, family, health and a bloody global pandemic (resulting in more work for me...) I haven't picked up my PS4 controller for about 8 months! Finally things have calmed down a little so keen to boot up the old girl and get my teeth into something a little different to my past diet of Survival Horror and RTS games. I found Shadowfall lurking at the back of the cabinet and initially couldn't even remember buying it, but I played the previous titles and genuinely enjoyed them. Despite their being overwhelmingly negative reviews online re the game, I found your retrospective fair, balanced, very well researched and presented. . So, call me glutton for punishment lol, but I'm gonna give it a go! Just subbed and really looking forward to viewing more of your content! Thanks for helping me make up my mind bud! Stay safe and take care out there!!
@@residentelect You're too kind mate but thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy the content and glad to have you apart of this community 🙏 Shadowfall is very hit and miss with people and whilst I personally don't love it, that doesn't mean it's an unplayable mess. There is some good times to be had here so I hope you enjoy yourself. Stay safe my friend and hopefully this year is better for us all 🤙
@@MayorHairBear That's really kind of you mate, thanks very much, and I assure you that your videos are deserving of such praise! I'm really hit and miss with gaming. I'm a Paramedic and work quite a brutal shift rotation, so often when I do actually have a day off were I could be gaming I'm just too exhausted, or knee deep in housework and day to day "adult stuff" 😒 Silly thing Is that I keep up to date with news on the latest titles, reviews and playthroughs, but never actually get round to switching my console on! Anyway, I'm determined to make it through some of my back catalogue over the next few months, as I could do with the distraction from everything going on at work to be honest. So yeah, really pleased I found your channel and I'm honoured to be welcomed into your community! I'll spend the next couple of days getting caught up with your uploads 👍
Really well point around 13:10 regarding how Killzone changed in the move to 3 from 2. I absolutely adored Killzone 2’s unique and heavy gun feel with low auto aim. Killzone 3 to me felt like they were listening to people who didn’t like 2 and they kinda dropped a lot of what made 2 feel so special seems to me. They just ended up like you said with the game feeing and playing more like everything else whereas going back to replay Killzone 2 today it still stands out and feels really special in the FPS landscape. I’ve got a pretty beefy rig and played both recently again in RPCS3 and I have to say I broadly prefer the art direction and gun play in 2 over 3 myself. I was pretty surprised how much generous auto-aim there is in 3, but it goes beyond that - the “heaviness”/deliberate nature of 2 just doesn’t feel like it’s there as much in the 3rd one for me. They also removed your gun’s muzzle flash lighting the environment and enemies in real time which it did in 2 and even cast its own shadows. In KZ2 just the act of shooting a Helghast soldier feels very impactful with the bespoke enemy hit reactions, gore, weapon animations, and the muzzle flash shadow/light casting effect. That’s still there in 3, but it’s not quite the same. I’d also argue on another note that Visari and Radec were for me pretty solid villains to boot in the second outing and it might be relevant that KZ2 did have more Dev time than the other titles. I recently watched this brief video compilation and it always impresses me just how much work and skill must have gone into crafting KZ’s atmosphere and technology: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IP2uC1nqwvE.html
Awesome video mate, really enjoyed the whole series of retrospectives, surprised Killzone Mercenary didn't get an mention in a similar way to Liberation, maybe it deserves it's own video? ;)
Really enjoyed how this series turned out! Never played Mercenaries back in the day but definitely a possibility for a Liberation/ Mercenaries video in the future!
The part in Shadowfall where you have to get in that helicopter and wait for it to take off while Helghasts are swarming you FUCKIG BROKE ME. I was playing on the hardest difficulty and had made it through with very little issue until the game shoved me behind a turret while rockets just blast me and soldiers hide in the turrets blind spots to the left and right getting free damage. I quit after dying a million times and said fuck it.
Just a heads up the Stealth, all the diferent ways you can go about doing things really wasn't a new thing, all that was in Killzone one, Each Charactor you could play as had their own unique ways you could do Missions wether it was Rico, go in all guns blazing, Lugar Go in all stealth or Hakka. The secondary Weapon fire was something they added back too. I always thought how they chnaged how the game felt in terms of controls wa a Dis service to the Series, Througout out of the whole of the series the Heavy controls were the standard, it made the games stand out towards all the other Light floaty shooters and it gave Killzone that Hardcore gritty edge.
Finished your killzone series and loved it, used to be my favourite gaming series. A lot of your retrospectives that I love are on Niche games that didn’t get too much mainstream attention but I loved playing eg saboteur, singularity. Is there any chance you have plans to do the resistance series? Would be brilliant to watch
Glad you enjoyed the series mate, I had a blast revisiting the Killzone series along with The Saboteur and Singularity. As for Resistance, absolutely expect a retrospective series at some point in the future!
Pretty much agreed with everything, yeah. The story is dumb and terrible and ruins its premise, which was already a pretty far stretched premise. But the gameplay, especially the dual function weapons? Mwah.
My main issue was the excessive enemy spawns. They didn't just respawn; they took the exact same positions their dead comrades were holding. There was an early mission in the forest where every time you killed a drop ship full of enemies, another drop ship would arrive and drop more enemies. I think a total of 7 or 8 drop ships arrived one after another. Like if you have that many drop ships, why don't you just send them at the same time? Who sends one dropship at a time and only after the previous one gets wiped? Can you imagine if D-Day was done that way? Just one lander at a time? Or just reduce the respawns. Sometimes enemies respawned so much I thought maybe the game glitched or I didn't reach a certain location to stop it.
Glad you enjoyed the series mate, thank you for your support! In terms of future videos I actually have no idea, I've got so many games I'd love to cover it's really whatever I feel like playing on the day. The question I want to know is, what games would you like to see in the future?
@@MayorHairBear glad to hear that 😊👍 and just like you said the ranger hardcore difficulty is so immursive.. I have played metro 2033 that way and it was hard but cool just to bad there is no trophy for beating the game on that difficulty.. So maybe I see some videos about this series in the future ? Btw I find you're videos very clean and professional 👌
If guerrilla ever makes another kill zone they should just start from the beginning. Now that they have experience with better story telling. I loved killzone 2 and 3 and I’m looking forward to playing them again once my new ps3 comes in. But the story needs a fresh start.
This was my second killzone game I played. I had played liberation and then this, not a good idea. I ordered a ps3 which should come soon and I can finally play Killzone 1-3, replay Resistance 1-3, and play the god of war series.
Yeah that's not the ideal games to play in the series 😂 Both aren't bad (I quite like liberation) but don't compare to the best in the series. Enjoy that PS3 mate, it's a great console I love revisiting
I always felt a bit off by the story but I couldn't put a finger on it. I got the game and loved the gameplay and graphics. Hope Sony can get Guerilla games to either remaster or port the older games.
I was never much of a Killzone person, but I think Guerilla hit the jackpot on Horizon zero Dawn, and they should keep working on that franchise as well as new IPs. Nice video dude.
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. I loved Horizon Zero Dawn and I'm excited to see what Guerrilla does with the sequel but I think they learnt a lot in the story department of that series that could be applied to the Killzone series that makes me want to see just another attempt at a Killzone game.
You're not going to touch Killzone Mercenary? I remember good things of that game on PS Vita. I had the platinum trophy of all Killzone games and for a handheld game that one wasn't too bad.
Hey, I love your videos! But why don't you include spin-off titles? I'd love to see a retrospective on Killzone Liberation for PSP or Mercenary on Vita. Also it would be great if you covered portable Resistance titles just like you did with God of War.
Thank you so much mate and honest answer is, I have no idea. I should have tackled all the games when I had the chance but for whatever reason at that time I just wasn't interested in doing so. Might have to go back and fix that someday!
@@MayorHairBear you know as they say, it's never too late. Personally I would still love to see retrospectives of PSP and Vita exclusives, even though you already touched upon other games in Killzone and Resistance series. And then you could make compilation videos for them with rankings at the end. But hey, anyway, thank you for your content, it's always entertaining to see your thoughts on these games ^_^
I still play this game. I get sick of the newer COD’s and this game is so much fun especially when there are tons of people on. PSN: TylerAxis if anyone wants to run multiplayer.
Guerilla is a good publisher, but I think Insomniac or Naughty Dog should make a new Killzone game. I think that would probably be what the series needs. That is assuming the devs of said studios are passionate about the game.
I think Guerilla has learnt from their mistakes, I mean I loved Horizon Zero Dawn. However, if Guerilla wanted to move on with Insomniac's experience with Resistance I think they could make a great Killzone... but then again I want another Resistance game 😂
Killzone's multiplayer is something I would have loved to have been able to revisit today because I had some great times back in the day with each games multiplayer!
@@MayorHairBear My first experiences with the franchise, as you rightly suggest is the case for many in this review, was with Shadow Fall. I got bored with the story fast so I enjoyed the multiplayer a lot and as I joined late to the PS4 generation, I had the chance to muck about with all the expansions. The visual appeal of the Helghast got me to pick up Killzone 2 and 3 for my PS3 from my local Video Ezy when it was closing down for $2 (NZD) each. I figured you'd have heard of them as you sound like an Aussie. I agree that Killzone 2 with it's impressive first person cover and heavy feeling shooting gameplay is the strongest entry in the series.
@@djwoody1649 See I thought that'd be the case for a lot of people which is why Shadow Fall disappoints me the most! But at least it got you to suss out the other entries. And you assume correct, RIP to Video Ezy but I had the same experience buying a tonne of cheap as hell games through their closing.
@@MayorHairBear Too right, they really ought to realise the franchise's potential in a new entry but we may be waiting a while for that. I suppose Shadow Fall made enough of an impression that it got me to look at the others, so that much can be said for it, and it looks beautiful too. Great series mate, nice to hear your thoughts on the series. Man, I certainly miss poking around in those old rental shops.
