Its weird but the one thing I remember about this game is the quote, "No not Johnson he was only a boy!" Always made me laugh
I always remember "WE NEED SUPPORT!" and "GRENADE!"
Demon Rantz Oh yeah, and that
Ell612 The Helghast were really loud in this game!
+Ell612 Funnier when the guys model was a 40 year old bald man
and he repeated it like 19 times hahaha
Loved them PS2 shooters. Killzone, Coldwinter, Medal of Honor, original CODs
Man I must be the weirdest dude on the planet because I actually enjoy these older graphics more than on my Xbox One. don't get me wrong the Xbox One is great, but I like the PS2 and PS1 graphics way better than this newer everything has to be super realistic crap. I want my games to look like a game not real life. That's why I play on the Wii, PS1, GameCube, SNES, Genesis, and NES more than my Xbox One. I like my Xbox One but not as much as the other older systems.
fireheartis1 trust me. Alot of people feel the same way. I might be only 17. but I hate the people my own age when it comes to gaming. they always have to say "call of duty this" or "call of duty that". It gets so annoying after a while. that's why I turned to retro gaming. I know that there is a whole ocean of games that I could play. I don't care about the graphics, sound, or frame rate (well, maybe a little on the frame rate). as long as the game makes me satisfied. then I don't care about anything else.
The PS2 was the reason you got better looking games today, it started the trend of High Definition gaming because it was High definition compatible
@@callumwearne7870 Component + HDMI adapter = bliss
Yup, couldn't agree more.
This game has one of the best atmospheres in a game on the ps2.
Amen
One of my favorite PS2 games of all time.
i remember when it came out, everyone was going on about how amazing it looked...looking at it now and saying that is kind of funny
Nice to see you here In 2020
then you reviewed it you dog
Always felt the guns in this game had the same effectiveness on the enemy as a confetti popper.
*Watch for shrapnel!*
Brings back memories,man.Good old days.
Just played the beginning of the game and one word: Awesome!
"Watch for shrapnel!"
*explosion"
"UGHGUGHGH"
best ps2 shooters are
Time Splitters 2, Future Perfect, Half Life, Black, Red Faction, Urban Chaos, Area 51, and this one, excluding MoH & Cod
Black n killzone are the fucking shit
Love Medal of Honor but those 2 are just in another world
Hopefully Sony brings the killzone trilogy and black to PS4
+Oscar De Jodar Honestly, I need to get a PS2 again so I can finally play Timesplitters, Red Faction, Black, etc. Remember Area 51 on Ps2 and it was awesome, never finished it though. Urban Chaos was pretty cool.
I tried playing Area 51 again on PC cause it's actually a free download now but the FOV was so bad that I can't play it lol
Walton Play it on PS2. The PC version sucks.
Oscar De Jodar Black is a gem. Man I loved Black.
Still my favourite in the series (and I have it all included SF). Very nice review!
I remember playing this & Burnout 3 on PS2 and thinking 'fuck the Xbox'. Oh and PS2 also had Contra Shattered Soldier, R Type Final and Gradius V. PS2 was and still is an amazing console.
***** Yep
Oldschool all day dawg cause you know im going hard!
I really like it when games are dark and grey, that adds war athmosphere :D
your reviews are SO MUCH better than the big comp type reviews. thanks for your effort and work.
I remember picking up this game in 2005, I was like 10 years old, this game BLOWED MY MIND!!
favorite quote and its by helghast soldiers: "Grenade!"
My favorite thing about this game is how you always run into situations where you and the whole entire ISA are the underdogs against and overwhelming army. Like just the relentless assaults and waves of Helghast just running AT you! It made me held tighter on my PS2 controller hoping that the next wave was over. Its such an amazing game especially how the textures look all murky and grey kinda almost reminds me in how halo 2 textures were done in for the new mombasa missions. Its a really great game and i enjoy it so much. Hope that guerilla makes another one cause goddamn killzone is one of my favorite Playstation FPS titles.
"I really appreciate a good storyline, and I'd like a single player campaign to take ten, twelve to fifteen hours." GREAT words. The only way this can happen again is if WE, the gamers, let the companies know and DEMAND it.
I used to play the crap out of this one. I think I went through the campaign at least 6 or 7 times when it came out.
It's sad that a lot of peoples entrance to the series has been Shadow Fall, which in my opinion isn't a Killzone, and isn't a good game.
I did like the game's Cold War-like premise and a few new mechanics here and there, but the gameplay and missions seemed generic
I makes me sad to think that it could have been much more, but just ends up being used to show off the graphical capabilities of the PS4.
NosideZero And not even that it did very well. There are better ways to show off hardware capabilties than letting you go through dark narrow hallways. Like seriously, it's not hard to make tech environments look good, even Wii games can do that.
Playing this with my brother was a blast!
Still have this in the case. Loved it. Was awesome game.
one of the best game i played in my entire life!!
- True Story
I've got killzone Shadow Fall, loving it so far. I loved Killzone Mercenary too. I definitely want to give this one a try.
I give this guy the award for "best reviewer on earth" for agreeing with me and seeing killzone's true capabilities
Still live this game, not played it in years but I do still love it. Probably an all time fave of mine.
This has the same kind of graphics all the cods have
I've picked up Killzone 3 on sale and I wanted to begin with the first game. I had high expectasions from this game at first. After a short while the enemy voices and constantly screaming the same damn thing over and over and over again till' the end of the game.Very repetitive gameplay, this game had one of the worst sniper controls that I've ever seen. It is also very easy to get stuck or get killed on the final part of a level, forcing you to replay the same frustrating part over again. The checkpoints really sucked in this game also, I was constantly praying that I made it to the next checkpoint without dying. Anyway the whole experience consisted more of pain than joy even on the easy difficulty. 6.5/10. I hope that the second and the 3rd one is better than this one. Cheers :)
ciprianwiner "I suck at this game, so it's bad."
That's all you got from that whole paragraph?
You reviewed this eleven years after release and are surprised that the game has flaws. This game in 2004 was legendary
this is actually a good game once you update (config )the controls to a more modern shooter like cod for example
This was my favorite PS2 Game.. And my first online multiplayer game as well.
Great review like usual..
Time to break out the Classic KILLZONE.
Asplenia.
I'm not too keen on Killzone 1, just can't complete it as I find it far too tedious and unenjoyable.
Justin A it was sorta fun tho
It was a great game but it was tedious because they just keep throwing wave after wave of the same Helghast grunts at you over and over again. I know they have more variety than just the standard grunt but thats the one use the most often. Also, you have to admit, the checkpoints sucked. Some of them were far to in-between each other.
The biggest problem is that there are only 2 enemy types: Regular soldiers and heavily armoured soldiers. That's it. It gets boring fast. Classic Game Room seems to like shooters a bit too much.
still better than Halo
Bitch u are stupid ass fuck halo is way better dont judge a game if you never played it
bitch? stupid ass fuck? I guess people who play Xbox have a limited vocabulary. Back to mommy's basement for you :)
D_LO214
Finally someone who knows about video games! Totally agree with you brother
***** except COD 1-5
I'm currently playing through Killzone for the first time since 2005 and it stands up pretty well. The graphics have aged but the gunplay is loud and beefy. Good stuff.
I remember this game. My cousin and I used to spend hours playing this when we were younger. This game was the shit!
god the ps2 hasn't aged well, early 2000 for crying out loud.
bullshit game play metro 2033 instead
Read the book too
lol metro 2033 is generic these days
Josh Cobra89 not on Ranger mode with subtitles and button promts off.
this was my favorite game in my PS2 days... so many memories... i always used to go play this game with my friends very good game if you haven't played it already
dude. thanks for posting. i am going to buy a used copy today. it reminds me of return to castle wolfenstein for ps2
I've played every killzone and couldn't finish any of them. They're just to boring
+WaterWhipin I can understand why. They are pretty unique. I think, they are, especially 2, very fun to play. Though, the series are far from being my favorite series.
I remember putting in a ton of hours into the battlefield component of this game. I used to prop up a boom box next to me and play 30 Seconds To Mars' A Beautiful Lie album. Sadly, somebody broke into our house in 2007 and stole it.
Schopenhauer1025 that sounds like an amazing time
I've played Killzone 2 & 3, and i'm picking this up tomorrow at the local play n trade. Can't wait to play it!
2:28 How'd you get the Helghast assault rifle to fire that fast? Every time I played, it fired as slow as the ISA assault rifle.
Killzone did 3 things wonderfully, perfect graphics (for every game 1,2,3 and 4), creating amazing enemies (helgast rocks) and polishing the gameplay and making it feel different and more fresh than most fps games, i love this series
Still my favourite out the series. I remember at the time loving this game because in my view it was a better game than Halo.
Me and my little nephew had a blast playing the multiplayer in this game. He actually got good enough to catch me by surprise and kill me a few times. KZ is pretty epic, man.
I cant believe this game is 9 years old. I remember this game like I played it yesterday
Having had all the PlayStation systems I currently started collecting a lot of old games and this one I found at a thrift store. I fired it up and prepped myself for graphic withdraw as I'm on ps4 mostly. Well it was not so bad and given the rumble control still strong on my ps2 controller really helps. Use a good pair of headphones also helps. Playing on a 60 inch 1080 with rgb cord for best image. Well worth bringing out the old console.
"Apparently the helghast are deaf as well as mutated" LOL :D
nice review m8!
thanks for this! Really wanted to play KZ again, missing the non-floaty controls from the original. They should have done a HD remake, with a little more polish. At least then it would be able to shine, like it was supposed to. The frame rate for one would benefit greatly.
This game really is good I played hd version trough on ps3 last week and only thing that was little bit bad for me was sound of air defense weapon. Its old but still good. I probably play it trough second time in future. But now I´m playing other parts of trilogy.
They just did. 1 month after you wrote your comment. Maybe Guirella read your comment. Thanks to you we get to play it on the PS3! Thanks dude!
Man do I ever miss the alternate fire options. Helghast shotgun blast was a favorite.
I'm still playing this game :)
The screams sound so funny when they die ^^
what was the documentary you were working on i wanna watch it :D
im a big fan of kz but hows the hd version? i dunno if I should get it cus it's not like there's mp
Do people still play killzone online?? im thinkin bout gettin it also can you recommend some more online shooters for the ps2
lol i've actually gone out and bought games because of this guy. i saw his reviews of Goldeneye, Black, TimeSplitters: Future perfect, and he really sold them, and..i love them. now i've seen this, i'll be purchasing killzone asap. loving your work dude
I'm thinking of buying it for online play, are the servers worldwide? If not, how active (or inactive) is the European community?
Man a CG movie based in the Killzone would be amazing if that intro is anything to go by.
Just bought the HD release yesterday. It looks great for its age, & they fixed the pop in & framerate :D
got the killzone trilogy today loving these games
I had more fun with the original Killzone than the with the other ones.
The atmosphere and the character selection just make me love it.
Fantastic game with extensive replay value (MP bots). Rolling with the shotgun in Killzone is about the pinnacle of fun one can have in a FPS.
@ellisbest, the graphics are the same but output in 720p and the control scheme has been tighten up just like killzone 3. For online and extra feature, dont know.
I love this game. Great style.
what were the jazz pieces used in the video?
I literally got the chills when I first played Killzone Jesus Christ this game was so fucking cool.
I can't tell you how many hours I have put into this game, because I still do not have a next gen system. But this is one of my favorite PS2 games, simply because it has a great story, and is futuristic, yet grounded. It is also very tactical, which is a plus. My only core gripe is that on most weapons you can not aim down the sight, which I always prefer to random crosshairs on the screen. But other than that, there is a lot of playability, since it has a long and depth-full campaign.
Do people still play this online? Im thinking about trying it out for sp and maybe some mp if servers are still up :)
a beautifully conceived game, a work of art and a labor of love from the developers. Unfortunately for me I couldn't get used to the controls, as I was already spoiled by Halo on the Xbox, which is such a fluid experience. But Killzone had the most cool look and spirit to it. Now I want to seek it out for another go :D
Killzone was the reason why I became a Ego-Shooter Fan....The campaign is great ..the characters are good and no stereotype muscle rambos...
Helgast are the perfect enemies..the weapons are great( and you think you have heavy weapons...you can feel it)...
I spent more time in this game than in Modern Warfare 2( especially in the multiplayer with a good friend...)
Nice review..i hope that Killzone get more fans
Awesome looking game I have to play it yet.
Just got a copy of the hd trilogy early a local store put them up on the shelf without knowing it comes out the 23d it's a awesome HD package!
exactly. i even bought my ps2 because i wanted to play this game it's incredible
I agreed with every word this reviewer said, smart "old school" man
nice vid i had this game on my ps2 it was awsome!!!!!!!!
I was shocked at how little I liked this game but I still respect those who really enjoy it. Good review
For whatever reason seeing a game pusing the limits of a system's hardware is more interesting to me than a nice looking game on a system that has a sea of nice looking games(every modern gaming console) there is something special that happens when a developer has to work with limitations.
Should I get the Killzone games or the Resistance games?
I wish they would release a HD remake on PSN. Killzone's art direction is my favourite out all games. Going to order the Helghast Killzone 3 edition to get the mask.
Y stiil Had my PS2 and y played this game 7 years ago (Y am 14), me an my sister played this game EVRY DAY and we still aren't bored of it
I hope they release to retro map packs for Killzone 3 that have locations from Killzone 1. I loved the stage with the mall
plz tell me how u recorded hd footage...
Are the online servers up for this game still?
ah i TOTALLY agree. I love storyline for videogames and I enjoy a game most when I can pass it in over 10 hours
I just baught the Killzone collection at gamestop for 40 bucks. It comes with all three killzones and all the map packs for the second and third one. Let me tell you guys ive been playing the first one and cant believe how much memorys and love it brings back.
Killzone 1 and Red Faction 1 were my favourite PS2 shooters. Black was also good, but a bit too short.
It's actually the level on this video at 7:26. I also loved how bulky the controls were, around that time the PS2 games were very slick in graphics and gameplay that this was so different, so grainy, so bulky and so textured that I knew if there was only one PS2 title I could get it would be this, and I wasn't a disappointment. If I hadn't got the PS3 that couldn't play PS2 games I would've still kept this game. One of the best games ever made until Killzone 2
Why is the muzzle flash different in the HD version? Even the Helghast rifle seems to fire faster in the PS2 version.
The Timesplitters series is outstanding. The 2nd game in particular is my favourite shooter ever. They're dirt cheap too, so you should buy them all immediately.
man i never played a shooter on older consoles like ps2 ps1 becase i was a kid now i know what i missed
that cut scene at 6:58 had me cracking up the first time i played this
whats the bossa nova song that starts at :19 ?
I wonder if this game will be on the PS4 market actually? Would love to play through it again
cant wait to see how the graphics change in another 7 years,unbelievable
Killzone was a major breakthrough in the FPS genre
not many FPS (excluding HL/HL2) can put a campeign into the single player that you actually care to follow
great game
Timespliiters Future Perfect is my favorite.
