Download the brand new game here: mtchm.de/mcqgk Big thanks to every one that hung out while I streamed this game. If you want to join me in the future, give a follow over on twitch! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
I wonder whats next, Jerek?....a sequel to a beloved 1996 fps that came out around the time of Quake, had been in development for 15 years by a certain 3D company with the motto: "Reality is our game." and the greasy company that butchered Colonial Marines....
Early on you mentioned there is no way to record PSP. The PSP-2000 and 3000 models had component output. But it looks like you have the PSP-1000. SO your current situation means you cannot record PSP, not that it is not recordable at all.
My friend loves buying and refurbing the psp he has a huge collection or special editions and most of the colours .. sometimes when I'm bored I will sit with him while he works on them
@@AParticularlyConcernedCitizen ow its very romantic the way he slides that led flex cable out of the main board or how he massages the digitizer away from the display on a vita it melts me every time
That's pretty much it. There was a lot of good in KZ, but equally as much bad, so the series never really went anywhere. Guerrilla is definitely capable of delivering a solid title in the series, and I'd love to see them try...
Brain fart as I haven't played any of the games in years. Is his speech in Killzone 2 different from the first game? I remember the basics of that first speech and thought it did a good job of setting up the game.
I really don't understand why this series died I also haven't played it since killzone 3 when it first dropped on PlayStation 3. So maybe that's why they died, lack of buyers. 😅
You should try out Coded Arms series. A PSP-exclusive series of FPS, and one of the first FPS games on a platform. P.S: Still looking forward to win a Dread Templar key here!
It's probably one of the better psp fps games unfortunately even that game is still kinda mediocre I've played it quite abit over the years and over the years as I've been introduced to better fps franchises like the 90s fps games of doom quake and so on since around last year or so I've only been able to enjoy coded arms in short spurts
I don't know why, but this game gives me strong original MGS Vibes lol. I think it's the top down camera, the enemy soldiers using FAMAS looking rifles, and the fact that Templar's headband looks just like Solid Snakes XD Hell even the mech thing you fight looks like you're fighting Metal Gear!
I actually get MGS vibes too. The color palette, props, and texture quality really remind me of MGS3 and somewhat MGS2. Makes me really want a new, modernized top down MGS game
Also, that roll looks exactly like the roll you can do in MGS3. Like how it starts out fast with a dive and then you slow down gradually with the roll part, and then you finally get up. The HUD also looks pretty similar to Peace Walkers HUD with how there’s a little low-res icon of the equipped gun filled in with white and how the bullets you have in a mag are displayed and go down with how many bullets you shoot. Edit: also found another thing so instead of replying again, I’m just gonna edit this one
This is now available in an official PS5/PS4 version with Trophies & Platinum, Chapter 5 for free and most helpfully, an instant REWIND feature. At any point you can hit start and rewind any number of frames. No limit to uses. It makes it significantly less frustrating. Maybe negates some of the challenge, but makes it a more enjoyable experience
If you have a model 2000 or 3000 (unlikely if your friend bought it anywhere near launch) you can actually plug in component out cables to the audio and remote jack. Hyperkin makes a direct to HDMI one you could stream chapter 5 with easily. I'm guessing if you were that interested in psp and your friend had lost interest in his, he had a 1000 series which doesn't support it.
BUT you can actually use a plugin and a program to do it via USB if you mod the psp, I had a psp 1000 and try it myself (the only game that i remember didn't support it was the resistance one)
Damn. Too bad Killzone died, never had the real chance to try it out, always looked at least somewhat fun and interesting, especially for a kid raised playing Wolf3D. Also, those Dread Templar tunes are sure as hell banging, eh?
The only time I played it was at my buddy's house in middle school (2007), we played killzone 1 online on his ps2 lol, was also my first time playing a console game online
As someone who played all the games, you're not missing too much. The 1st game was pretty generic. Cool lore, but the game, itself, was pretty eh. The next two were better, but tried too hard on the visual front and really pushed the PS3, resulting in the framerate constantly dropping below even 30. Then the one they released on the PS4 looked great, but had an identity crisis, tried throwing in a dozen new systems, but kept the straightforward FPS style of the original, meaning it just told you HAVE to do this all the way through the game, with the mechanics having little to offer outside of the specific moments they make you use them on. In my opinion, them moving onto the Horizon Zero Dawn series was a great move. If anything, I would be behind Sony remastering 2 and 3 for the PS4/5/PC being they were actually solid, visceral shooters that were hindered by their hardware, but I'm surprised the series lasted as long as it did, being the only (in my opinion) good games in the series played poorly performance wise.
How interesting the universe of Killzone seems makes me wish the games themselves could've stuck the landing. While I worship Bungie's Halo games, it'd be fantastic if Sony had their own Sci-Fi shooter to compete.
If it had actually played more like halo I feel like that would have been better in the long run. But they (1 and 2) always played like decent call of duty knock offs, they never really utilized the sci-fi setting enough. In a sea of cod like games they just never stood out that much. The multiplayer of Killzone 2 was decent but that was the only online KZ game I played
I liked Resistance more than both, but I agree. Killzone played more like a sci-fi CoD, but slower. I also agree that its sci-fi setting wasn't utilized enough.
I love how the PSP ports for both this and Army of Two 40 Day went with a top down overhead view and decent controls made for 2 great games in their own right
Part of the fun of switching on the old PSP after many years is being reminded what your custom wallpaper image was when you were a different, younger gamer.
It was arguably the best game of the series. It combines the narration of the first game with the more personal story elements of the second. The graphics were limited due to being on PSP but it was stylized and still looked good. I wish I could play it remastered with a controller or mouse.
The PSP being basically a Portable PS2 but just with one analog stick has the same energy as the Nintendo DS having a SM64 remaster while it only had a D-Pad. Great video like always!
My parents bought a PSP for me on my b-day shortly after it was released. Only issue I had with it is that my parents didn't realize that you suppose to buy the games separately. So I was a proud owner of a PSP with absolutely no games to play for more then a month.
Did not expect to see this on my feed. That is pretty awesome that you were able to review this game. Just know, this game is extremely popular for PSP emulation as this game and the god of war game are the two hardest PSP games to emulate. Awesome to see you still have your original PSP 1000. Had a 3000 from the ratchet and clank bundle. Unfortunately it was stolen with my copy of Metal gear solid: peace walker inside of it. Which was probably my favorite PSP game.
Killzone is one of my favorite franchise. I'm really sad these games died so soon but I'm also glad that some peoples enjoyed some of them as much as I have. Thank you for this review and I really hope one day Killzone might come back. Greetings from one of your French viewers.
Still holding out hope for another Killzone game, would be amazing if you finally got to play as the Helghast trying to recover their lost homeland on Vekta.
I really wish Killzone gets the God of War treatment. Too bad, Sony is more focused on making blockbuster franchises like The Last of Us rather than other exclusives like Killzone or SOCOM. Also at 19:37, that bolt is up that helghast's arse.
I've recently started playing PSP games and man I'm surprised on how capable that thing is, really. Full console like experiences and even some straight console ports which is mindblowing. I could never get a PSP when I was young because, you know, third world budgets. Even if I could, that shit would get stolen at gunpoint if I got it out of my house most probably lmao. It would be interesting to see you check PSP shooters, (like the other PS exclusive, Resistance PSP game) I dont know of many that are actually good, mostly because of the controls. The 3rd birthday was nice-ish, but I found it boring after the first hour tbh. I know there is a Battlefront Elite Squadron romhack now that adds most of the battlefront series content which is mindblowing but it cuts the campaign.
I really enjoy finding out about strange spin-offs of well-known franchises on other devices - especially if they change the genre or perspective. Great video and thanks for all the hours of entertainment!
Hey Jarek, little bit off topic, but i just wanted to say thank you. Recently i just finished my undergraduate thesis, and it's about one of the game you covered in on of your older video, the You Are Empty. So yeah, thanks for giving me the topic for my undergraduate thesis. Ps. Good video as always!!!
I just finished this game on PS4, and had to come back to watch the review. Everything Jarek says here is pretty much true. The game has its ups and downs, but to me its overall a 7/10 for me
Dead game but not forgotten, I literally play this back when I was fucking 5 or 6,and Years later I would search Psp Top down shooter game,after many searches I finally found the name of my childhood game
The best console to PSP move i've seen was Ace Combat X. Most handheld games in a console based franchise were often side games who's only merit was being able to play it on the go. Ace Combat X was just as good as its PS2 counterparts, even better in some regards.
In terms of visuals and gameplay the game is neat, but i skipped it because of unbearable control, that made it too difficult to beat. like moving to dodge bullets and other projectiles and aiming at the same time with only one stick is too much for me
Army of Two: The 40th Day on the PSP also have the same gameplay layout like this, I'd like to see you analyze that game or the original PS3 version. Thanks
Such a shame they abandoned this series along with many other great PlayStation franchises. They are literally sitting on a gold mine, imagine a modern killzone with raytracing and advanced movement features. They could also do something like the master chief collection. Like you said, a topdown game like this on mobile would be great and work incredibly well. Hopefully killzone will be revived soon to scratch that itch many of us are having.
Would love to see more PSP games, it hits right on my nostalgia spot! Hundreds of hours playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Those were the days man...
Hey Jarek, if you're going to play FPS games on the PsP I would suggest using PPssPP and rebinding controls in game and in the emulator. I think most FPS games on the PsP allowed for rebinding your controls and one of the important things here is that your could rebind aiming to the analog-stick instead of the face-buttons. In PPssPP you can then rebind analog-stick to the mouse and face-buttons to wasd, and with some tweaking you can get some reasonable mouse and keyboard controls. If you do some more PsP games, here's some suggestions: Medal of Honor Heroes, Ghost in the Shell, Coded Arms(the first one is really interesting, a bit of a dungeon crawler fps), there's also a mod scene for Battlefront 2 on the PsP.
Frank Jaeger, better known by his codename Gray Fox, is a fictional character and protagonist from Konami's Metal Gear series. Created by Hideo Kojima and designed by Yoji Shinkawa, he first appears in the series' original 1987 game Metal Gear, and is one of the few characters to appear in both the original 2D games and the later 3D games. First introduced in the original game as a high-ranking agent of FOXHOUND who goes missing during a mission to Outer Heaven, he is saved by fellow FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake but goes missing during the original game and its sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake during which he is revealed to have sided with Big Boss; he is eventually defeated and left for dead. The character is reintroduced in Metal Gear Solid as the Cyborg Ninja, a mysterious being wearing a powered armor exoskeleton and armed with a high-frequency blade. During Liquid Snake's FOXHOUND revolt at Shadow Moses, he confronts Solid Snake on several occasions, while also providing advice via CODEC as a faceless contact named Deepthroat.
Killzone Liberation is not an isometric game. Isometric doesn't mean "3/4 angle" -- It means drawn or rendered without perspective, as if all horizons are infinitely far away. For example, Sim City 4 is isometric, Cities: Skylines is not. Q-bert is isometric. This is not. See how the perspective of the landscape changes as the map moves around and how the camera provides parallax? This does not happen in isometric projection.
I just recently played through this game, the movement and combat doesn’t feel too awkward in my opinion, and it was fun. Enjoyed it, but I didn’t really pay attention to the story at all
When I first saw this name and the first person gameplay I couldn't remember it at all but once you mentioned the PSP and then showed the box art then it hit me. I have played this game and I'm pretty sure I still have the copy of it probably stashed away with my PSP.. wherever I put that... I remember the game being fun, a little challenging at times but overall a pretty good experience for the time. Gonna be interesting to see how it stacks up to modern scrutiny
It's still pretty interesting to see how every studio worked around the limitations of the PSP. and sometimes I wonder if the console would have had more of a future if it came with dual analog.
9:04 The best thing about the DLC chapter was Rico's shockingly un-PC encouragement as you went to fight the final boss, telling you to "Slap that bitch hard!"
@@themasterofgaming4149 pc version is pretty bad imo but I guess a comparison would be cool too. The ds version is so much better though, it has that grimy psx anesthetic and the shit graphics enhance the horror. The pc version just looks like a generic unity game
Not just the PSTV, with CFW on the Vita you can stream video over USB! Mercenary is a blast though, I really didn't anticipate it being so much fun but it's one of my most played Vita games.
What impressed me about this game was the enemy AI. To this day, you won't often see such realistic reactions. They would try to flank you and even deliberately shoot explosive barrels near you. In regards to difficulty, I normally beat the base game on the hardest difficulty. It's manageable. Chapter 5 is when it becomes frustrating for me, but i have beaten it before.
Man, PSP ruled back in the day. My army mates broke my OG one back in 2011 and I had to buy that clucky ass Street version. I dust it up every couple of years. Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops & Peace Walker, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Daxter, GTA Liberty & Vice City Stories, FF Tactics War of the Lions, FF7 Crisis Core, Loco Roco, two Syphon Filters, SOCOM FIre Team Broavo.... Good times!
I never had a PSP, but I knew friends who did :3 I really only wanted one for LocoRoco because I didn't know what else was on there. They seemed so dang fascinating, lol I got a PSTV a few years ago, and Adrenaline (basically activates a PSP "mode") is SO ADORABLE! It's like a PSP, XMB and all, in your Vita/PSTV! But yeah, the PSP had some kickass games :3 I'm so glad that pretty much all of them run great with PPSSPP ❤
They’re bringing this back on the 20th of June on ps plus premium. They’ll probably add dual stick support for camera and movement like they’ve been doing for psp games!
I'm really fucking sad that Killzone just kinda died. It wasn't perfect, but I loved each one except shadowfall. I've played just about every notable FPS from Wolfenstein 3D to now, and Killzone stands out to me. It's got a unique atmosphere and amazing gunplay. Killzone deserves another try at the least.
yo videos about psp games would be the best, I still have mine that I got in Hong Kong for dirt cheap in 2011 I think & I remember absolutely loving a few PSP FPS & the SOCOM games
Oh man, very similar story for me too! Back when I got my PSP (must have been back in 2008 or so), that was suuuch a huge deal for a lotta reasons. For one thing, much like for you, my family was certainly not rolling in it back then and new consoles were pretty scarce for my siblings n' I. Getting that Crisis Core edition PSP-2000 was mind blowing for me! Up until that point, I had never owned my own game system that was just for me and mannnn did I ever sink some good hours into this lil' sucker! My PSP went through some hell though unfortunately and is not here to tell its tale lol! A friend of mine spilled grape Fanta alllll over it and it was never the same since but to make matters worse, it was stolen years ago (hope that loser liked soda ridden handhelds lollll). As for the Killzone series, it's one of my fave FPS franchises and while I would have loooved to see Guerilla attempt a FPS for Liberation's design, I was still very engaged in the game just fine. Liberation reeeeally reminded me of the old Spec Ops PS1 games, with its top down perspective and limited view of the battlefield, really kept me on my toes. Awesome video as always Jarek! :V Edit: Also! Yes, please! More PSP games in the future! I'd love to hear your thoughts on some of the shooters on the system! :V
I know of an extremely obscure and inderated FPS game Called Dreamkiller, made by the creators of Painkiller overdose. Dreamkiller is absolutely unique, probably a hidden and forgotten gem.
I also play a lot of my PSP back in the day. One of my favorite game was Resistance: Retribution and MSG Peace Walker (my first MSG). Could be fun if you do a video on that title. (It was a TPS, but work really) And I will love to see more PSP shooter on the channel.
RIP Killzone. I think. Was it actually that good a series? I never owned a PS3 and only purchased a PS4 a year before the PS5 came out (given the scarcity, that was a genuinely wise decision), so I don't have any experience.
12:10 I remember playing this game online many many years ago. A common strategy was to shoot your enemy with a shotgun so it knocks them down, throw a grenade at them, and then shoot them back down after they get up. Opponent has no chance from that.

@@KingdomOfApple Personally thought 2 was pretty solid.
@@lost8257 Killzone 2 had one of the best multiplayer player fps ever made, a very underappreciated game
@@nathanduncan672 I played the hell out of the bots in that game
I know Killzone is a dead shooter game series, but Scolar Viscari's speech from Killzone 2 will always be a highlight for me.
Being dead does not mean being bad. Wing commander, f zero, star fox.Pretty dead.
Brain fart as I haven't played any of the games in years. Is his speech in Killzone 2 different from the first game? I remember the basics of that first speech and thought it did a good job of setting up the game.
Scholar Visari was mad man.
I really don't understand why this series died I also haven't played it since killzone 3 when it first dropped on PlayStation 3. So maybe that's why they died, lack of buyers. 😅
Killzone was really good to me, breaks my heart that they closed down the website. That says it all.
You should try out Coded Arms series. A PSP-exclusive series of FPS, and one of the first FPS games on a platform.
P.S: Still looking forward to win a Dread Templar key here!
It's probably one of the better psp fps games unfortunately even that game is still kinda mediocre I've played it quite abit over the years and over the years as I've been introduced to better fps franchises like the 90s fps games of doom quake and so on since around last year or so I've only been able to enjoy coded arms in short spurts

Coded arms is trash there are much better and more impressive psp fps games
@@_ok1735 yes, there are some more impressive titles like cod road to victory, but Coded Arms was the first one.
I was about to say coded arms 1&2
There’s a 3rd person shooter Resistance game on the PSP, and you can easily play it on a PSP emulator. I’d love to see Jarek review that.
I remember being blown away by that game back in the day. A must play if you own the PSP in my opinion.
Resistance: Retribution, just finished that game, it’s not bad but it took me a bit to get used to the controls
Loved it. It was basically the Gears Of War for PSP.
Resistance Retribution was my introduction to the franchise back in the day. What a great game.

You can emulate it on your smartphone these days with hardly any issues. Try the PPSSPP Emulator for Mobile.

I really enjoy finding out about strange spin-offs of well-known franchises on other devices - especially if they change the genre or perspective. Great video and thanks for all the hours of entertainment!
Hey Jarek, little bit off topic, but i just wanted to say thank you. Recently i just finished my undergraduate thesis, and it's about one of the game you covered in on of your older video, the You Are Empty. So yeah, thanks for giving me the topic for my undergraduate thesis.
Ps. Good video as always!!!
I'm glad I could be of such inspiration! You also won the key. Do you have twitter/discord/email?
I just finished this game on PS4, and had to come back to watch the review. Everything Jarek says here is pretty much true. The game has its ups and downs, but to me its overall a 7/10 for me
Dead game but not forgotten, I literally play this back when I was fucking 5 or 6,and Years later I would search Psp Top down shooter game,after many searches I finally found the name of my childhood game
Resistance did the same thing, FPS on the big console TPS (I think) on the PSP.
Edit: Oh yeah, and it also has a forgotten PS Vita FPS as well.
The best console to PSP move i've seen was Ace Combat X. Most handheld games in a console based franchise were often side games who's only merit was being able to play it on the go. Ace Combat X was just as good as its PS2 counterparts, even better in some regards.
Honestly, never thought killzone had a PSP game
Hope Sony brings out Killzone trilogy with psp games for ps4 and ps5.
In terms of visuals and gameplay the game is neat, but i skipped it because of unbearable control, that made it too difficult to beat. like moving to dodge bullets and other projectiles and aiming at the same time with only one stick is too much for me
Army of Two: The 40th Day on the PSP also have the same gameplay layout like this, I'd like to see you analyze that game or the original PS3 version. Thanks
This game was awesome loved playing it and resistance retribution.
I wish we're getting Killzone remaked and the frenchise it self getting revived
Is this a PSP in my pocket or am I just really happy to see Jarek hatted?
Such a shame they abandoned this series along with many other great PlayStation franchises. They are literally sitting on a gold mine, imagine a modern killzone with raytracing and advanced movement features. They could also do something like the master chief collection. Like you said, a topdown game like this on mobile would be great and work incredibly well. Hopefully killzone will be revived soon to scratch that itch many of us are having.
One of my fav FPS games on the PSP were Coded Arms and Coded Arms Contagion
Would love to see more PSP games, it hits right on my nostalgia spot! Hundreds of hours playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Those were the days man...
PSP is my favourite console just for the afternoons spent with my friends playing those 2 games
yeah thats all good but what about FOV? can you change it?
Hey Jarek, if you're going to play FPS games on the PsP I would suggest using PPssPP and rebinding controls in game and in the emulator. I think most FPS games on the PsP allowed for rebinding your controls and one of the important things here is that your could rebind aiming to the analog-stick instead of the face-buttons. In PPssPP you can then rebind analog-stick to the mouse and face-buttons to wasd, and with some tweaking you can get some reasonable mouse and keyboard controls.
If you do some more PsP games, here's some suggestions: Medal of Honor Heroes, Ghost in the Shell, Coded Arms(the first one is really interesting, a bit of a dungeon crawler fps), there's also a mod scene for Battlefront 2 on the PsP.
Unironically one of the best PsP games.
Frank Jaeger, better known by his codename Gray Fox, is a fictional character and protagonist from Konami's Metal Gear series. Created by Hideo Kojima and designed by Yoji Shinkawa, he first appears in the series' original 1987 game Metal Gear, and is one of the few characters to appear in both the original 2D games and the later 3D games. First introduced in the original game as a high-ranking agent of FOXHOUND who goes missing during a mission to Outer Heaven, he is saved by fellow FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake but goes missing during the original game and its sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake during which he is revealed to have sided with Big Boss; he is eventually defeated and left for dead. The character is reintroduced in Metal Gear Solid as the Cyborg Ninja, a mysterious being wearing a powered armor exoskeleton and armed with a high-frequency blade. During Liquid Snake's FOXHOUND revolt at Shadow Moses, he confronts Solid Snake on several occasions, while also providing advice via CODEC as a faceless contact named Deepthroat.
great game btw killzone liberation that is (i have nothing to comment on about metal gear solid).
Killzone Liberation is not an isometric game. Isometric doesn't mean "3/4 angle" -- It means drawn or rendered without perspective, as if all horizons are infinitely far away.
For example, Sim City 4 is isometric, Cities: Skylines is not. Q-bert is isometric. This is not. See how the perspective of the landscape changes as the map moves around and how the camera provides parallax? This does not happen in isometric projection.
This is probably the most "WELL ACTUALLY" comment I've ever gotten lol
I unironically love Killzone Mercenary on the Vita. I've put quite a lot of time into the MP even. Worth looking at imo.
IKR, it's hands down the best FPS exclusively developed for a portable!
I just recently played through this game, the movement and combat doesn’t feel too awkward in my opinion, and it was fun. Enjoyed it, but I didn’t really pay attention to the story at all
When I first saw this name and the first person gameplay I couldn't remember it at all but once you mentioned the PSP and then showed the box art then it hit me. I have played this game and I'm pretty sure I still have the copy of it probably stashed away with my PSP.. wherever I put that... I remember the game being fun, a little challenging at times but overall a pretty good experience for the time. Gonna be interesting to see how it stacks up to modern scrutiny
It's still pretty interesting to see how every studio worked around the limitations of the PSP. and sometimes I wonder if the console would have had more of a future if it came with dual analog.
Probably. But since the PS Vita has dual analog sticks, it wouldn't have made sense to do so.
Ironically, the PSP outsold the PS Vita.
Incredible.
9:04 The best thing about the DLC chapter was Rico's shockingly un-PC encouragement as you went to fight the final boss, telling you to "Slap that bitch hard!"
The Helghast were dope
I played this emulated on my ps4 with that online streaming games bs. It felt like it ran at 15fps
Yuuup.
playing Dusk and Ultrakill, Dread Templar seems like a pretty sweet mix of both, I'm in!
Would be cool if you could cover the dementium games on the ds (stay away from pc version)
But I want Jarek to review the PC version.
@@themasterofgaming4149 pc version is pretty bad imo but I guess a comparison would be cool too. The ds version is so much better though, it has that grimy psx anesthetic and the shit graphics enhance the horror. The pc version just looks like a generic unity game
"Up till now we have only ever had Nintendo handhelds"
A bunch of older handhelds would like to have a word with you
Sega never attempted to make another handheld after the game gear and nothing else ever mattered.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I will not let you slight the Wonderswan or Neogeo Pocket. Heretic
No joke about playing a fps on the psp being a mess. Never could get the hang of medal of honor heroes.
Not just the PSTV, with CFW on the Vita you can stream video over USB! Mercenary is a blast though, I really didn't anticipate it being so much fun but it's one of my most played Vita games.
We need more Killzone games but less shadow fall and more like how the first two Killzones were.
Agree
Those kind of games died somewhere after 7th generation of consoles and it's not coming back
What impressed me about this game was the enemy AI. To this day, you won't often see such realistic reactions. They would try to flank you and even deliberately shoot explosive barrels near you.
In regards to difficulty, I normally beat the base game on the hardest difficulty. It's manageable. Chapter 5 is when it becomes frustrating for me, but i have beaten it before.
The game looked fantastic for the hardware. As a PSP owner back in the day, I was shocked at how good it looked
Wish I would've kept my PSP....but I'll just live vicariously through Jarek instead.

Ah jarek the fact you able to even find this game is amazing
The Music In The Background When You Start Talking About Each Game Sounds Like Grey Daze B12
When your PSP Killzone is better than PS4 Killzone Cold War simulator

On the topic of Chapter 5
There's a person who tweaked a copy of Killzone Liberation so that you can play Chapter 5 on an emulator.
Comment.
Man, PSP ruled back in the day. My army mates broke my OG one back in 2011 and I had to buy that clucky ass Street version. I dust it up every couple of years.
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops & Peace Walker, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Daxter, GTA Liberty & Vice City Stories, FF Tactics War of the Lions, FF7 Crisis Core, Loco Roco, two Syphon Filters, SOCOM FIre Team Broavo.... Good times!
Lol I still have this game. It was fun playing a long time ago. I have it in the PSP Dual pack with Logan Shadow (which was a fun game too)
There's a Rainbow Six for PSP...But play an fps on PSP is like entering a "killzone"... Hope you do that for our entertainment.
I never had a PSP, but I knew friends who did :3 I really only wanted one for LocoRoco because I didn't know what else was on there. They seemed so dang fascinating, lol
I got a PSTV a few years ago, and Adrenaline (basically activates a PSP "mode") is SO ADORABLE! It's like a PSP, XMB and all, in your Vita/PSTV!
But yeah, the PSP had some kickass games :3 I'm so glad that pretty much all of them run great with PPSSPP ❤
Can you review COLD FEAR next!!! Kind of a unique game that nobody talks about anymore.. survival horror in a unique setting
They’re bringing this back on the 20th of June on ps plus premium. They’ll probably add dual stick support for camera and movement like they’ve been doing for psp games!
I'm really fucking sad that Killzone just kinda died. It wasn't perfect, but I loved each one except shadowfall. I've played just about every notable FPS from Wolfenstein 3D to now, and Killzone stands out to me. It's got a unique atmosphere and amazing gunplay.
Killzone deserves another try at the least.
I got this for free after the massive psn hack back in the day.
I have many memories of Kz:liberation, MoH heroes, syphon filter dark mirror/logan shadow and MGS:PW. The psp was the shit dude. Good times.
Well I guess that we have to wait for the existence of PPSSPPVVIITTAA in order for you to finally play Killzone Mercenary.
yo videos about psp games would be the best, I still have mine that I got in Hong Kong for dirt cheap in 2011 I think & I remember absolutely loving a few PSP FPS & the SOCOM games
Oh man, very similar story for me too! Back when I got my PSP (must have been back in 2008 or so), that was suuuch a huge deal for a lotta reasons. For one thing, much like for you, my family was certainly not rolling in it back then and new consoles were pretty scarce for my siblings n' I. Getting that Crisis Core edition PSP-2000 was mind blowing for me! Up until that point, I had never owned my own game system that was just for me and mannnn did I ever sink some good hours into this lil' sucker! My PSP went through some hell though unfortunately and is not here to tell its tale lol! A friend of mine spilled grape Fanta alllll over it and it was never the same since but to make matters worse, it was stolen years ago (hope that loser liked soda ridden handhelds lollll).
As for the Killzone series, it's one of my fave FPS franchises and while I would have loooved to see Guerilla attempt a FPS for Liberation's design, I was still very engaged in the game just fine. Liberation reeeeally reminded me of the old Spec Ops PS1 games, with its top down perspective and limited view of the battlefield, really kept me on my toes.
Awesome video as always Jarek! :V
Edit:
Also! Yes, please! More PSP games in the future! I'd love to hear your thoughts on some of the shooters on the system! :V
I know of an extremely obscure and inderated FPS game Called Dreamkiller, made by the creators of Painkiller overdose. Dreamkiller is absolutely unique, probably a hidden and forgotten gem.
I also play a lot of my PSP back in the day. One of my favorite game was Resistance: Retribution and MSG Peace Walker (my first MSG). Could be fun if you do a video on that title. (It was a TPS, but work really)
And I will love to see more PSP shooter on the channel.
RIP Killzone. I think. Was it actually that good a series? I never owned a PS3 and only purchased a PS4 a year before the PS5 came out (given the scarcity, that was a genuinely wise decision), so I don't have any experience.
Can't believe i spend Forever just waiting by
Watchung every night by, when i see you 100 times and by now i know you'll survive.
12:10 I remember playing this game online many many years ago. A common strategy was to shoot your enemy with a shotgun so it knocks them down, throw a grenade at them, and then shoot them back down after they get up. Opponent has no chance from that.
