Merry Christmas

Pretty sure a dev had to change their eye lenses to shine bright red because they blended into the brown and more brown

I love how the intruders are like the landing boats in ww2. They are exposed somewhat from an angle and arent heavily armored. They jump over the side and are gunned down while trying to rush forward.

Capitalism is somewhat of an odd example of something to use, seeing as capitalism is merely a propagandistic term coiled bu the dead-headed Marx.

Man, what a strange series, that it makes you play as the villains

Who else got recommended this vid after the skins became available in Helldivers

The helgast are a faction that I do not excuse or condone the actions taken, but understood *WHY* they got to the point that they committed them. They were brutalized for seeking independence and banished to an irradiated hell hole, it is not surprising AT ALL that who ever came out the other end of that decades long nightmare would turn out the way they did, the ISA made that mess and boy did they have to scramble to clean it up.

Killzone 1 had the BEST website. If you thought the instruxction manual was cool then the site would blow your mind. It had the entire roster of Helghast troops and assets in full glorious 3D on display. I think it was one of the first websites to have a fully 3D interface. It would fry home computers

Hey its the guys from Helldivers

Something I noticed, watching these 3 years later...Is you use a lot of pro US Democrat, anti US Republican rhetoric. Despite the amount of shit the Democrats have done and did even back then....It's just interesting to observe the strong bias. Instead of looking at the bad examples on both sides, you were very picky when showing real world modern examples for your claims. Making a lot of nudging suggestions that US Republicans are facist, when...A lot of those examples can be related to US Democrats. I just wish you focused on Killzone instead of going after modern political BS. But that was 3 years ago...

Killzone is the game where the player takes on the role of the frienly mercenary goon who kills the patriotic freedom fighters on behalf of Blackrock and United Health.

I'm honestly surprised i was recommended pt 2 before part 1

1:41:07 dude got folded

Does the guy who voices "Rico" also do the voice for "The Antagonist" in HATRED? 🤔🤣

Killzone 1 Rico is the best iteration. Rico brought humor to the series. People who hate on him dont appreciate the character, and the fact that most of us in a warzone will try to lighten up the mood is normal. Him being suspicious of someone who is or were a part of the enemy faction is realistic as well.

i want a ps5 remaster of these, totally one of my fav game universes

Anyone else here because of Helldivers 2?

Killzone is neither subversive or anti war, its a franchise where its entire narrative fails at all points in 3 games not becasue the ISA are the true bad guys but becasue the guys we play as are actually the worst ever. You cant even say Sev/Templar/Rico were just following orders. Well Sev/Templar were but every issue, every bad thing that happens all stems back to Rico not following orders this entire franchise is purely carried by aesthetics thats it. IF it were to ever come back they should just make it a large scale multiplayer FPS where everyone is happy to pick Helghast or ISA in a war for a planet.

One of my favorite sports is referencing 1984 as written by “Famous Socialist author George Orwell” and watching people tweak

It’s like a unspoken PlayStation requirement that all games post PS4 be all artsy fartsy

1:50:06 "DUDE! Not cash money." Wellll...Looking from the Helghan prospective...She is apart of why a lot of Helghans lost their lives. So them treating her poorly is..I can't say justified, but I'll just quote the Joker movie. "You get what you fucking deserve!" Also great to re-watch this these years later with my need to re-play Killzone (But without the means to do so with Sony and Gurilla sitting on their hands unless I play Helldivers..)

But do they ever kill the zone?

I find it funny that people sympathize with the helgast due to their planetary eviction and terrible treatment by the ISA. Then i say something along the lines of "look into the treaty of versailles and the weimar republic" and everyone loses their minds. 😅

Everyone remembers Visari but Stahl had some great lines as well. "Many years ago my father was asked 'Are you not afraid?' His reply? 'I know why I am here, why should I be afraid?"

Maannn this video gave me such a nostalgia hit, killzone was one of my favorite series on ps2 & ps3 respectively. great video, appreciate the analysis of the series' themes and motifs too

That list of list of "is it a fascism" is very close to the USA.

Im absolutely a Helghast sympathizer

we can finally live our helghast dreams in hell divers lmao

23:54 Get back here, Shocker!! SHOCKEEEERRRRR!!!!

Personally I was just mentally on side with the ‘bad’ guys the entire time, played the first and a bit of 3. lol

Never heard of Killzone games until today, here from Helldivers collab. This looks badass! Thank you

I'm here to say that killzone still have people hoping and helldivers had a cross over with killzone 2

Recently folks near me got talking about giant length videos about Kingdom Hearts that were 3 whole hours! And that reminded me of this gem, which I then recommended. And rewatched. Congratulations, you've made me watch 10 hours of Killzone content now!

would be cool to see a remaster collection on PC

Also, these videos were a joy to watch. Your humor was great and gavebthe series the retrospective it deserved.

Killzone Mercenary was the first one i had myself. Its my favorite and the bedt in my opinion. I wish i still had it

Ah the memories playing on concourse flying with the jet packs, good times

10:22 this speech gives me chills everytime I hear it. Brian Cox was the perfect choice.

liberation was great! and being able to play online multiplayer on portable was awesome

Helldivers reference

Hopefully turok origins will be that nostalgic murder of dinosaurs i need

“Ok it’s pac man….” 🤣🤣

Echo Is Best Helghast Waifu

22:27 well if you wanna make an argument for the therizinosaurus’ case you can say sense there aren’t any plants they can munch on they turned to meat out of desperation, and there have been cases of herbivores eating meat when they aren’t getting enough out of their plant diets, I’d say more but I’m no expert

Killzone 2 and 3 online would destroy now a days

2:21:05 "Ruzzia is nice" That one didn't age quite so well

50th time rewatching these especially with the helldivers x killzone Cross over these videos should of blown up

It's easy to compare the Helghan Empire to other fascist governments like Hitler's Germany, but I don't think that comparison is any fair. Whilst Germany did suffer heavily from the Great Depression added on with having to pay unfair reparations to France due to the Treaty of Versailles, they unnecessarily blamed a random group of people - Jews - for their problems and desired large territorial expansion far greater than just regaining old land. As for the Helghan, they suffered being constantly pushed down by the UCN for basically no reason at all with Vekta taken away just for wanting independence, forced to live on a near-uninhabitable planet. The Helghan then blame everything on Earth, righteously so as they ARE the ones ruining everything. With how Vektans are, by the time of the war, now just people of Earth moved to the planet, you can see how the average Helghast would think each Vektan they kill is complacent with the UCN's oppression of Helghan. It's hard to support the Nazis. It's hard not to support the Helghast. To me, the best, *very very simplified* comparison for Killzone is the Russo-Ukrainian War. With the oppressive UCN/ISA being Russia and the Helghan Empire being Ukraine.
