    For anyone who watches this video and is confused about the big picture story, the game is essentially a parallel to World War 2. The Helghast got screwed over and colonized a nearly uninhabitable planet, which caused issues and lead to the first war. Like Germany after World War 1, the Helghast had no real leadership or economy until a dictator rose to power that the people thought could rebuild them. From there come the Killzone games, this first one I believe is supposed to be a parallel to the German assault on Britain. And for anyone wondering why Rico is always so angry, it's just because on the story that's just how pretty much all ISA heavy weapon specialists were raised and trained to be.

    I liked how all the guns had an alt-fire mode. The Helghast assault rifle had an underbarrel shotgun, the ISA assault rifle had a grenade launcher. It varied up gameplay a bit.

    I love the Killzone series and have around a combined 4-5 thousand hours combined between all the Killzone games. That said, KZ1 was the first shooter i ever played and immediately fell in love with the world, atmosphere, music, visuals, and game design. The thing i hate about FPS even to this day would be the snappy, twitch, and fast gameplay design they all share. I feel the the slower movement and weighty feel of weapons in Killzone is what allowed it to stay alive all these years. Killzone Shadow Fall is probably the most balanced, best looking, and overall best FPS on console in my opinion, its a shame people wont give it a chance but their is always the small community that still play it everyday. I really hope we get another Killzone game, its the reason i bought my PS3, PS Vita, and PS4.

    Killzone 1 was my _baby._ The beach landing mission (seen at 6:02) is pure nostalgia juice and overall the game is endearing _because_ of the nostalgia factor. It may not be very good but it'll _always_ have a place in my heart.

    Sorry man, i don't want to be a complainer, but this is a terrible retrospective. It's not your review I have a problem with, it's your "history" lesson you have about the development of Killzone is straight up wrong.
    First of all Killzone is NOT a Halo ripoff. It is does then it has to play like Halo. Do you have a high jump? No. Can you fight enemies in large areas? No. Can you use vehicles at any time as long it's available? No. So why compare these two games? Because they're both sci-fi military shooters? By that logic COD: Advance warfare is easily considered a Halo clone too even though these games play differently.
    Secondly, Killzone was being worked on long before Halo came out on Xbox. If you actually do a simple thing called research, then there's a trailer on Unseen 64 UA-cam channel that has a early concept trailer of Killzone that has a different name and was planned to be multiplatform all the way in 1999, before Sony step in. If you're going to correctly compare a game that was a Sony exclusive that was aiming to be the next Halo, there's Haze.
    If you're going to review a game in a style of a retrospective then I expect you to learn facts before you unwittingly mislead your audience. I can tell immediately that you didn't bother because you didn't even mention Gurellia games, y'know the developers of the game? They weren't bought out by Sony yet so you can't claimed it was developed in house.
    I don't want to be too hard just because you made a mistake or two, but unlike Halo or other famous Sony games, Killzone is on of the lesson known franchises so less people are dedicated to keep the facts straight. The facts weren't on Wikipedia so most people didn't bother to look for the truth themselves. You're probably suffered a lack if information while writing a script for the review, so you end up interpreting events we assumed happened from either your memories of the game or other people thoughts instead. The whole reason why I'm complaining about it is that most people's recollection of Killzone's history is wrong so all that does is create misinformation that will only keep spreading.
    If you just TL;DR it: You're wrong about the dev history of Killzone. Do your damn reseach that is more than looking at development section on Wikipedia. Thanks.

      It wasn't a Halo rip-off, but it was marketed & pushed as a "Halo killer", after Combat Evolved many companies have tried to stack up to Halo, and Sony wanted this to be the one, and it ultimately wasn't. Good as most of the games were, they couldn't compete with Halo.

    As someone who was 15ish when this came out. I worked and purchased my own ps2 and games. Killzone among gran turismos, socoms, and cods and medal of honors were all I had bought. Killzone left anlastijg impression on me. Every weapon having a secondary fire mode was brilliant and a blast to use. Gunplay wasnt awesome but it was consistent. There were inaccurate weapons and slightly more accuarate weapons. The story or campaign was meh. Bullet sponges for enemies and explosives being o.p. for both sides. But the multiplayer. Holy shit the multiplayer! Back when this released multiplayer was a massive thing. Socom was sonys flagship multiplayer and killzone in my opinion made a giant wave for fps for Sony. The multiplayer with all those guns AND all those secondary firing modes made for a incredibly varied array of fight styles that made each match feel, different. Obviously only so far. But still one day on killzone on maps played entirely differently on the same maps on a different day with new players. There were weapons spawned onto the map which made high traffic choke points. Again adding variety to each match with different players. I loved killzone, less for its single player and much more for its multiplayer. Even its bot filled multiplayer had split screen and was if not slightly easy to win against hard ai it was still a utter joyess time. A massive help in learning the multiplayer maps as well.

  • @michaelsteffensen6844
    @michaelsteffensen6844 5 років тому +4

    I remember the hype for this game. Sony really wanted it to be the "Halo killer", and so did I since I just had a PS2 and was pretty jealous of how awesome Halo looked. Ended up being pretty disappointing and not even close to being as good as Halo. Nothing came close to Halo on console back in those days, I think younger gamers have a hard time understanding how a single FPS franchise could be so dominant seeing that we have so many now.

    • @Jarekthegamingdragon
      @Jarekthegamingdragon  5 років тому +3

      Kids won't be able to comprehend how massive halo was. Halo WAS the FPS market before cod ever came along. COD4 came out the same year as Halo 3 and halo 3 was still the highest grossing media item of all time. Bigger than even any movie before.

    • @Jarekthegamingdragon
      @Jarekthegamingdragon  5 років тому +2

      @Steven Lee This is not true at all as things like Half-Life existed before Halo. PC already had great single player and multiplayer shooters. The reason Halo did so well was because it was just a great game on all fronts. On top of this, halo was an easy game to play but a hard game to master. It had a low skill floor but a high skill ceiling. This appeals to every kind of gamer whether casual or competitive.

    • @Jarekthegamingdragon
      @Jarekthegamingdragon  5 років тому +2

      @Steven Lee That is insanely incorrect. PC gaming was HUGE in the 90's and Half-Life's following was the furthest thing from small. It was the biggest shooter of the late 90's and completely revolutionized the entire genre. It did not suddenly get more popular because HL2 released on xbox. HL2 was also already massive before it was even released. The hype surrounding it was insane. You didn't need a $3000 pc to run half life. $1000 was more than enough to run half life at max settings and most pcs could run it if you turned settings down. It's like the same misinformation about pc gaming never goes away because people say the same incorrect statements today.

  • @matsnilson7727
    @matsnilson7727 4 роки тому

    Killzone was a decent game. I liked (most of) it. The best thing about it, however, was the pre-launch hype. DAMN it was exciting to follow - getting all worked up over a couple of new in-game screens or a two second long clip showing a cool reload animation or how the protagonists visibly used their hands when climbing ladders. Amazing stuff for a PS2 gamer back then.

    With this being the Halo killer from what I read that was a originally stated by Sony and the developers said that they weren't trying to make Killzone as a halo killer but it's own game.
    Thinking about it now some of the things were good idea on paper and I will admit while I did enjoy some of it like the lore and mythos behind it, there were some things that should've been more worked on and like I said in your weapons show case of Killzone source I wish that was the Killzone HD we got on the Trilogy collection or they had the option and funds to remake Killzone to make it like Killzone 2 and 3 to give it that faster pace and fix certain things but I get it why it didn't happened. It's just me being wishful and speaking my thoughts.

    I actually just play this for the very first time in 2022 on the ps2. I think it holds up really well, but it definitely feels like an older game due to a delay and lack of checkpoints.
    that doc level is also ridiculously stupidly hard, and there’s one point where there’s a ton of enemies with lots of rocket launchers, and there’s a checkpoint really far back.

    I played bot mode and story every day from the school. The different characters made the game replayable and I think I beat story like 5 times. Game looks like shit but controls and maps were tight as hell. Plus cooking grenades was super overpowered. Can't doge it if it's instant. My only complaint was aiming with the sniper rifle was super hard cuz of the werid scope. It had great range though. Beach level was my favorite in bot mode cuz the guns was super easy to find. I would usually rush to the shotgun or shotgun pistol thing and camp at the tower near the pistol. Good times. I played all three games and the 1st one the only one I still kinda remember cuz of the twist of the guy u rescue is pretty special. Beat when I was a kid. Never understood the story until I was late teens and played it again. Even after learning the story, I played it mostly for gameplay. Gameplay was great. Had a lot of variety. Kill zone 3 had more variety but not by much surprisingly. 1 one my favorite obviously and I put a shit ton of hours in 3. I would normally get 55 kills per match in 3. Good times

    General Adam looks and acts like he browses /pol/.
    Just finished this game after hearing so much about it, I don't hate or love it- in fact I really wanted to like it but there was so much problems I hate with it. I too also thought it was odd how the Earth fleet seemed they were able to handle the situation at the end without us. I ended up playing Luger for the majority half of the game because of her powerful silenced SMG alt fire; which actually made my experience with the game A LOT better now that I have a accurate weapon. The common weapons you'll get in the game has high spread making it hard to shoot enemies at the distance. I don't know how people were able to beat this game with the standard weapons. Yes you get different sort of weapons in the level but you don't even enough ammo for them thus you're back using the standard weapons to save ammo. If precision weapons were a lot more common, I might've actually enjoyed this game A LOT better- because of the spread, you have to get close to the enemy which is risky because if backup comes you'll die by them. This game played like a cover shooter because of how fast you'll lose your health. I was happy finishing the game but I don't know if I can say if I loved playing this game- due to the huge amount of problems that frustrated me throughout.
    I like the journey and characters, it deserves a remake if anything. I would like to see this squad's journey in a better game.

So many animations that took too long and Rico’s voice acting was god awful. Glad Killzone 2 and 3 fixed these problems. I know it definitely and absolutely had its flaws and I’m not gonna deny it but it was fun regardless like you said already. Shame Killzone Shadowfall was so meh compared to the other entries to the series though.

    When you are such a console fanboy you feel the need to make a video convincing people to play a shit game that was considered shit at the time and is still considered shit and even you still consider it shit but my PS2 love. Yikes.

      What in the fuck are you going on about? This whole video was talking about how bad Killzone 1 was and how much of a disappointment the game is. Calling me a "console fanboy" is HILARIOUS because I'm borderline a pc elitist. Actually look at someone's channel before being a dumbass.
