    Killzone is a first-person shooter, developed by Netherlands-based Guerrilla Games and released on November 2, 2004 in North America. The game was remastered in HD by Supermassive Games and re-released within the Killzone Trilogy for PlayStation 3 as well as a standalone PSN title in 2012.
    Killzone takes place in the middle of the 24th century and chronicles the conflict between two human factions; the Vektans, and the Helghan. The game is played from a first-person view and follows Jan Templar, a high-ranking officer within the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance, as he battles invading Helghan forces into Vekta.
    Prior to its release Killzone was heavily anticipated with several publications considering it to be Sony's "Halo killer" title. Upon release, however, the game was met with divided responses, with most critics praising Killzone's visuals, art design, soundtrack and atmosphere, but agreed that the final product was disappointing, with criticism also aimed at the game's narrative, characters and gameplay. Despite mixed reactions, Killzone spawned numerous sequels, several of which attained critical acclaim.

The ISA crew envious of the success of the Helgast launched an invasion against the peaceful Helgast ,robbing them of their homes on Vekta , destroying the works of the Helgast people and forcing the survivors to survive on the hellish but resource rich Helgan.

"Something-killer or clone" are derrogatory, roguelikes pretty much pay homage to rogue which was a novelty when released and sounds better than "turn-based, tile-based RPG with permadeath" or even roguelites, that also sounds more appealing than "game with permadeath and meta progression".

      Souls-like though compares underlying structure. You can have a ton of different types of mechanics in use, but if the structure is similar enough, it's fair enough to call it Souls-like.

    Hakha is more accurate with the Helghast weapons though. Templar and the other ISA characters are less accurate to reflect the fact that they are unfamiliar with the weapons.
    Also, the Sta52 is intended to be more of a "massed assault, fire full auto from the hip" kind of weapon and not designed to be hyper accurate to begin with, (at least lorewise)

    The term Doom Clone is not what you said. The thing is that what we call today the FPS genre didn't have an established name until 1996/97 when Quake and DN3D were out.
    Until then all shooters were 2.5D with comparable technology to Doom, and because Doom came first, the rest were just called Doom Clones by default.
    Doom was such a breakthrough in technology back then that for years it was used as the name to call the genre entirely, so it wasn't until we got another breakthrough with fully 3D rendered games that FPS started to be used.
    Therefore calling Dark Forces and Strife Doom Clones is correct... and much shorter than "sprite-based old school first person shooters".

    I've dug out the PS2 to play this again, and I swear I have more fun on the original than Shadow Fall on PS4.
    I like on hard difficiculty having to actually take cover from dropships and APCs, to run for dear life when I hear "frag out!", and for my weapon choices to be more about the situation I'm going into than just personal preference. And the mist (not draw distance!) on certain levels keeping you lost and unable to tell where you're getting shot from, that's a deliberate game mechanic to make the Helghast that extra bit scarier. And it works, at least for the first play through.
    On Shadow Fall, even on hard all that tension is lost. The campaign is filled with enemies deliberately placed to give you free knife kills, and all the rest can be easily ambushed by using the 'tactical echo' basically a wall hack, taking all the challenge out of manoeuvring. The more you dig into it, the worse it gets: Heavy, mandatory auto-aim, a personal attack drone with infinite health and ammo that can do the whole campaign by itself, suicidal enemies who'll run into danger for no reason. The only fun you can have with it is by imposing some arbitrary rule on yourself, like try do this whole section with melee only. I shouldn't have to be resorting to stuff like that.

I'm on the 4th to last mission where you fight at a dam I guess or some kind of power plant or facility.

    I knew a kid back in high school who used the term "Halo Killer" in real life, but he thought Haze would be the one strike down Halo, not Killzone. Boy oh boy did he sip the koolaid... he hyped Haze up to Duke Nuk-Em Forever levels. That kid was so convinced and passionate in his argument that some of us actually started to believe him... not because we didn't know any better, but because he was so filled with hope that it became contagious. Then Haze released, and screwed the metaphorical pooch in the front lawn for the whole neighborhood to see. The other kids never let him live it down, his sophmore and junior years were defined by ridicule and shame. Someone even went to the trouble of slipping a Haze game case into his locker, but with a Halo CE disc inside instead. hey were so mean that when he switched schools his senior year, everybody thought it was because of Haze, and the disgrace he brought upon his family name.

    Awesome review, been hoping you'd cover Killzone at some point. Killzone came out roughly somewhere when I was in 5th grade, and being younger to the genre most of the complaints went over my head (well that, and I barely knew much about online reviews at the time anyway). It was the first game I ever played with a sprint button and dedicated meter for starters, and unless I happened to have Battlefront first, it also made for the first shooter that I had that allowed me to play with bots and get a taste of a multiplayer experience before I even really knew what that was beyond 1v1 splitscreen. Between the awesome enemies with "cool voices", the different cast mechanics, the weighted controls, all the small details ranging from pre-killed bodies in some levels to taped magazines, and then stuff like the sprint function and bot mode, it was honestly one of the best games I had touched for its time. In retrospect, I get it though. Some of the designs are dated, the lack of checkpoints even had a returning player like me ragequitting the HD set for a period of time, and some elements just weren't as fascinating as what people had experienced with Half-life and Halo going on in the same time. To a kid who almost only knew the Medal of Honor PS2 trilogy, this stuff was a real gem to enter my house hold, but... to think it was actually pushed as a massive halo killer is hilariously naive. Still, looking forward to any future series on the other titles of the series. I think as it progressed, the games got better in keeping up with most standards, and on the whole its got to be one of my favorite military shooters even if they each entry have their own strange flaws.

But it's still a very average shooter overall and i felt shadowfall was a breath of fresh air for the series.

      it was a lil bit hard to aim in Black yeah, though maps were huge and the problem was mostly headshots at long range, the crosshair would move in increments like in many FPS games and would always land a lil bit off target. meanwhile, even on the 1st timesplitters without auto aim, you could make fast, accurate shots.

    I played the remaster when it came out(huge fan of the 2nd) and its pretty tough on hard difficulty. But it also had hand animations when climbing, which i dont recall in a game before, and the rpg like components to certain characters(you talked about) was pretty innovative, and nothing is ever explained. Its bland palette really does a disservice because it really feels old today.

    My series marathon senses are tingling. Yes, it’s a thing now. Although, I can’t imagine you’ll do the Vita exclusive Killzone Mercenary.
