true, if you read the article and know the back story of killzone you would know how deep the damn univerise is. but fuck they go make the story about rico and sev slaying helghast like there is no tomorrow. honestly GG know how to make a good story, but they just have no damn idea how to tell it

Sony Pictures should make a movie about Killzone, or atleast cgi tv show, can't get enough of the Helghast, Stahl is so cool!

that would be awesome. visari is so bad ass, he alone could make a movoe or cgi tv show a hit

imagine if sony marketed uncharted like halo..... 

Nothing major would have happend. They marketed Gears of War the same way and look where it is  NO LEGS AT ALL. Uncharted 3 with a 5 dollar market budget is about to pass Gears 3

Killzone would likely never sell like Halo. Killzone is deep, political, and morally complex. Instead of aliens from a Heinlein novel, the villains in Killzone were humans that the rest of humanity basically screwed over. The good guys, the ISA, are good in that they are the most similar to us.

Even beyond that, Guerrilla makes it even harder to differentiate good and bad; even if we wanted to be sympathetic to the Helghast, the brutal vengence-seekers they've become once more pushes them around to bad-guy status. Guerrilla sought to make this closer to the actual grim reality of war, where both sides do bad things, where both sides are controlled by power-mad leaders with goals they hold higher than lives.

The Killzone universe reminds me of Dune in a lot of ways, with political figures playing chess with entire populations. The Helghast are kind of like the Sardaukar, made stronger by the harshness of their world.

The atmosphere and story of Killzone are fantastic but I'm not sure it would catch on with the masses who just want to be a good guy and kill bad guys. Personally, I loved how KZ3 ended because it got me hyped for what could happen in KZ4. I hope it starts off with a major bang. I'm also looking forward to fighting the ISA in the Vita KZ game.

convincing. i like it. pretty interesting take on it.

Look, I get the whole Higgs not being bad, but when Stahl took over and wanted to nuke Earth.. I mean, come on. Its obvious what GG is trying to do and one could argue that they should take another approach. There is a lot of potential in this franchise.

EDIT: Would like to add that the gunplay of KZ2 and the atmosphere is fucking insane. Feels like a true ass guerrilla war. If Killzone 4 goes there, jaws will be dropped. Killzone 3 is amazing too, but on different merits and not the reason why I personally loved KZ2.

I love me some Killzone! cant wait for Killzone 4, I hope they retain the epic fire fights like the last 3.

Yeah I remember reading all of the story pieces on the official site awhile ago. When Earth started expanding to out space the main goverment ran out of funds or something and the Helghast company (started out as a simple company) had tons of funds so I can't quite remember how but basically the government screwed the Helghast company over, kicked them off of Vetka (the good planet) and forced them to live on a planet that had very poor living conditions. It burned their longs and a lot of them died on the barren planet.

I believe the invasion during Killzone 1 is the Helghast trying to take back the planet they rightfully founded.

Pretty sure that's how it goes but it has been years since I read the lore so i'm probably a little mistaken with some parts. I would totally love to play as the Helghast though, and see their side of the struggle. Also, Rico is a gigantic bag of douche!
