ESRB Rating: KILLZONE 1 on PS3
- Thread starter Hyuga
- Start date
I remember the story being light years better than KZ2, lots of good political intrigue and doublecrossing. In fact, the only story beat that really hit me in KZ2 was the moment involving the lead character from KZ1, so I think that speaks to the quality of the first one.
Gameplay is meh and graphics haven't aged well, but if you like KZ lore and the world, get this game.

It had a better campaign than all the other Killzones, but the game is incredibly dated and has lots of issues with how it plays.

Ah, Sony. Why put up something good and worthwhile when you can put up Killzone?

Not Liberation and Killzone 2.

So much hate for this title, i think that it´s pretty good, the gunplay is just awesome and the campaign is nice...also Hakka, best character in the series after Sev imho.
It´s not an "Halo Killer" of course.
HD remake would be great, but i don´t think that they care at all, so straight port most likely

All of them are pretty mediocre. They do have pretty graphics. But the story, gameplay, controls just feel like a mediocre experience
Yea.. It's laughably bad... Don't see how this turd was praised to be a halo killer

That´s just like your opinion dude, and that´s nice, but liberation and 2 are far from being mediocre.
I never saw its final review in mags and online. But maybe reviewers were drinking some strong Koolaid back then. It was fun seeing the Halo Killer hype,made things fun and interesting.
That's true
I just have high standards with what is worth buying and playing throughI know you can judge them with your 3% trophies. Not to say that KZ3 is any good.

I picked it up for $10 in a bargain bin 5-6 years ago.
It was a lot of fun if you only play as the lady and one-shotted everything with your silenced rifle alt-fire. You could actually play it as a stealth game with her, hiding in bushes and popping heads. Unlike a lot of FPSs, the enemies weren't magically able to fire at your location if they couldn't see or hear you.
Great segmented health system too, kinda like Resistance 1's, but more granular.

I finished Kz2 on normal. Don't need to go through it and get every trophy to realize it wasn't a good experience
I haven't completed KZ3 yet. From what I played, it's taken a step backwards from Kz2 and manages to be worse. From what I read on gaf, that seems to be the case
My Killzone experience was literally just this:

I was referencing KZ3. You said all 3 KZ games were mediocre, meaning you could judge a game with 3% trophies.
Hell I don't even like 3, but I'll make sure to finish a game/put in a decent amount of time before I judge it/talk about it on gaf.

Cool!
I always loved the beginning of KZ1, but could not play it due to the frame rate and PS2 graphics.
Gaf is full of people that crap on games they didn't play. BTW why so many post in this thread, some kind of crusade?

Will need a bit of fixing before its released. There were a couple of issues with it.

Great idea, remove backwards compatibility so you can rip people off for "HD classics". With unchanged base graphics no less.

Definitely, the graphics & some of the set pieces were memorable & I enjoyed it more than KZ2, BUT you know nothing of bad performance & controls unless you play this game. Whatever games you play this gen that you think are bad in those departments are nothing in comparison to how the original Killzone ran on PS2.

You're 2 years too late.
Rendering them natively at high resolution is better then just upscaling though.

Err, you realize ps2 classics/HD remasters would happen even if they kept BC, right?
Some of you whine about everything. It's just a game. Don't think it's worth it, don't buy it. No one's "ripping you off".

Terrible game, average series.

weird choice. the original was an overly amibitious game that tried to do too much with the PS2 and suffered for it, like SOTC. like SOTC this should be an HD remake.
that could help the game save some face, but brining the creaky original version to a wider audience isn't going to do the brand any favours.

Agreed. It was definitely one of the WORST games on PS2. It was so god damn shallow and unfinished I was simply astounded that I was able to finish the game. Not because of it being ugly but because it was filled with game breaking glitches and bugs.
Oh and the Killzone series needs a complete makeover - all of the characters suck so much...

By the way, Primal was also rated for PS3 too. So maybe you guys can pick Primal over this.
*dick asplodes*
FUCK YEAH.
Oh wait, I forgot. Won't come to Europe because SCEE.
*cries*
Before HALO: CEA came out I said: "The Halo crowd doesn't strike me as very nostalgic". The same goes with the Killzone fans I'd wager. They're selliing Killzones based on the idea of 'omg look at the graphics!' I don't see how a PS2-port or remake fits with that audience.
It's different for let's say Ocarina of Time 3D because Nintendo fans always look back as 'that' being the best game. The same goes for Sonic Generations because many Sega and gaming-fans always ask for 'classic Sonic'. Not to mention GTAIII that left such a mark on gaming that playing it on the iPad and Android tablets fits the nostalgia bill. I honestly don't think anyone was 'waiting' for Sony to bring back the first Killzone just like no one is waiting for EA to remake the first Need for Speed. Some classic games are better left alone in our memories.
