I'm sorry, but you are trying to say Metroid had more "ambiance" (I think you mean aesthetics ) than Killzone? Well, I don't know what to say to that...

By ambiance I mean the way the game is made you feel either tense or adventurous, depending on how the sound effects are made, what kind of music is played, the way the visuals are displayed, whether there are things hiding in the shadows, secret passages, those kinds of things. Metroid is all about that, especially Super Metroid, but Metroid Prime did that pretty well too.

 

That is the esthetics, and how does Metroid trump that of Shadow of the Colussus, which is universally agreed to be the best game ever made for showing how esthetics can tell the story rather than words.

Metroid was there first.

Hahaha, what story exactly? And which one? To even try to argue against Team ico shows you haven't played SotC or Ico and don't know what you're on about.

 

I've played Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. They're two of my favorite PS2 games.

I'm afraid you're the one who doesn't know what he's talking about. I hope you do realize that HappyD wasn't comparing Metroid to SotC or Ico to begin with. His actual comparison between Metroid Prime (specifically) and Killzone makes a lot more sense given how they are both in first-person.
