Killzone 3 is a 2011 first-person shooter video game for the PlayStation 3, developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the fourth installment in the Killzone series, the first game in the series to be presented in stereoscopic 3D, and the first to include motion controls using the PlayStation Move.
In the climax of Killzone 2, Emperor Scolar Visari is assassinated by ISA forces, triggering a full-scale attack by the Helghan First Army. Overwhelmed, ISA commanders order a full withdrawal, leaving hundreds of their own soldiers to die on Helghan. With the Helghast now driven to seek revenge for Visari's death, the survivors must join forces to find a way home. - เกม

I'm surprised they've never made a game from the Helghast's point of view, they get the shitty end of the stick throughout the whole lore, and are infinetely more interesting than playing as a bunch of cliched Space Americans for the billionth time.
I love the Helghast. I would buy a Killzone game with the Helghast POV.
Fuck the helgasts
Cool opinion
Hello youuuu
like or not, at least the Helghast ambition Lost, yes?....
Gotta admit, calling out Visari's daughter for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome cracked me up
Good profile picture.
Dunno, looks like your average girl in Kazakhstan.
Fuck I was like would they model a character to have fetal alchohol syndrome
Well it kinda makes sense... We're talking about a society of mutant sand people with severe asthma... It's no wonder some of their children look so screwed up
I dunno man she just looked like the average british bint.
Killzone 3, they just made the Helghast more and more likeable than the ISA
The Helghast were always cooler. The ISA were just a bunch of generic assholes, and even though the Helghast were Space Nazis, they were a lot more memorable and likable. Plus they looked awesome.
@@mortified0 yes, in the lore, the Helghast basically got the short draw from everybody at the beginning, and when they finally found some valuable resource, the ISA deliberately being assholes to them. Basically Helghast was pushed into a corner that they finally had enough and start to attack ISA, but instead end up looking like the bad guys.
At least in Killzone 4, you can also do missions for the Helghast faction and also the ISA finally turns out to be the real assholes, especially with the Epilogue Mission.
Yup.
That's the whole twist you're playing the villains the whole time. The ISA was wrong from the jump, yet the shit the Helghast did you can't forgive either yet ISA did way more damage.
they are both in worse scenarios. do not try to be in one faction in this game over the other. Otherwise, any here might as well end up like Danner from KZ:M, and even he's very much worser than the Helghast ambition.
at the end of the Day here, talk. Talk and Talk, with no where such empty threats going anywhere after the Terracide, no?
The two different Helghan antagonists’ struggle for seizing power and fighting each other seems more interesting than the genetic goodie-do guys ISA story.
Bald Stalin (Ray Winstone) vs. Malcolm McDowell. I mean, how possibly can it be more awesome than watching two legendary British actors becoming space nazis and going against each other?
forreal, I don't how the cardboard cutout ISA were supposed to be relatable in any way. The Helghast have so much more character and hardiness to them that it makes me wish we played as them instead.
@@echodelta2172 always wish there was dlc or something where you play as radecs personal guard
That subplot is held back by both Stahl and Orlock being really poorly developed characters. They only have the bare minimum character traits to make this kind of subolot work, but so little time is devoted to them.
The story is basically
Natives enjoying life, space cowboys say no. And steal their land and now angry the natives fight back
No way they would make a game about you playing as space Nazis
The multiplayer was fucking awesome in this game, spend literally hours playing it.
Yup. I loved every minute of it
I miss those days :/
Same
Spent not spend
@@abrahamwashington8579 He means he could spend hours playing it.. ig?
More PS3 and old console game reviews please. I love it
I'm even all in for SHELLSHOCK VIETNAM, ps2.....awsome game and soundtrack!
@@Dan-n-Duke-jr2ic Shellshock 'Nam 67 is an awesome game. I wish we got a real sequel instead of that zombie spinoff bullshit.
I loved the crap outta this game. The multiplayer was fantastic when it was up. I remember making montages editing them all night and now I'm a full time editor. Just such good memories with this game.
I know bro I remember watching them 👍
@@landau390 I thought that i'd do killzone shadow fall videos but it doesn't even feel like a killzone game to me
@@JLHenderson I gave that game about a month when it first came out , and went back to KZ3
Bro did you play medic class? I loved that little triage robot
“Final entry in the series before shadowfall” but what about mercenaries easily one of the best handheld FPS games to date
Mercenaries came after Shadowfall, actually.
Mercenaries: 4th of September 2013. Shadowfall: 15th of November 2013. Only took a quick google search
@@dylanwilliams4302 Mistakes were made, then. Could have sworn it was the other way around.
If Mercenary isn't part of the mainline series (which I agree it isn't) then neither is Shadowfall. I think Liberation should've been an FPS and been KZ2. That would've made KZ2 the 3rd game actually and then 3 could've been the 4th entry in the mainline series.
Agreed! It was also one of the few games that were optimized for the Vita TV, which is how I played it.
Back when I played this game I was absolutely blown away with the graphical fidelity, it easily was one of the best looking games of the entire console generation, I still can't believe how good it looks all these years later.
Yeah, even 13 years later it looks like a mid ps5 game.
Can you imagine in 2010 to have a game from 1997 that looked as good as cod mw2 or bad company 2?
This game shows me how bonkers people are: they defend Killzone 2 despite its myriad of problems and shit on Killzone 3 which is the same but with the issues fixed. People are weird, man.
PS: The game features a shotgun pistol, which is absolutely great, and can be held alongside an assault rifle.
I was wondering when he'll comment about that, cause I use the shotgun and assault rifle combo as well.
Shame he hasn't talked about the melee system tbh.
My problem with Killzone 3 as mentioned by the reviewer is a lack of polish in certain areas. Just look at the releases dates of their games. Killzone 3 clearly had less development time.
Like for example the level layout. There were countless times when I was shot completely out of nowhere and couldn't hide due to lack of cover. Or the incoherent mess of a story. Killzone 2 isn't exactly a masterclass of writing, but I personally felt way more engaged with the main characters than in Killzone 3.
In my opinion, while Killzone 3 was improved in many areas, in some aspects it stumbles way harder than 2. The overall game flow feels weaker to me.
P.S. Shotgun pistol is one of my favourite weapons in all of the games I have played.
@@ivanrzhanoy9389 Well one could argue that Killzone 3 took less time because they already had the engine and assets ready and they simply had to make more of the same.
As for the level design leading to frustration, it's been a lifetime since I played either game (thanks obsolete console exclusivity!) but I have vivid memories of struggling a lot on KZ2 on Elite difficulty, while I remember breezing through KZ3 on the same setting, but then again I went back and read my reviews for both games that I wrote back then and my complaints with KZ3 were as follows:
"Too many on-rails sections based on trial and error - a few AI blunders - occasional out of sync audio during cutscenes - campaign is too easy - long loading times
"
...so I always found the game too easy, apparently.
Killzone 3 is not just Killzone 2 but with issues fixed. In fact I think it actually retains some of the originals issues (restrictive level design, relying on AI teammates), but it also introduces a host of problems of it's own:
- a bunch of new ideas, none of which are fully developed and suffer from the restrictive level design
- reliance on set pieces instead of... well, good level design
- a story that has no rhyme or reason
- way, way worse multiplayer than Killzone 2
Killzone 3 is, if anything, unfocused.
@@robbanbobban2 Could you elaborate on what you mean by "relying on AI teammates"?
It's a blessing that Killzone 3 allows you to disable the motion controls.
Shadowfall actually has a pretty amazing open level design in its first few levels.
But it goes downhill from there.
Shadowfall has immense potential
@@zacharytomes5202 yeah because of story and gameplay clash like oil and water
like these are suppose to be helghast civilians/refugees fighting back form the shitty treatment but you still kill them by the truck loads and they all have better gear than you.
it clearly should have been you playing as Echo fighting ISA occupation
@@Dante45p What? No, that's not what they are at all. They're literally a terrorist organization funded by Stahl. They aren't some misunderstood militia, they're two dimensional bad guys led by an insane old man. The only Helghast troops that should be viewed as grey antagonists are the Helgahst soldiers working for the New Helghan governement. Furthermore, fighting back against 'ISA occupation' is not what Echo was meant for as a character. What you want would suck Killzone dry of it's greatest strength: that no one faction or character is truly justified in their actions.
@Miguel Mauro HOW?! 2/3 of their population died!! it would be in total ruins
Im saying they should be broken refugees and in different factions
@@Calvin_Coolage yeah i know thats my issues
Stahl wouldn't have any funds, Helghan blew up
if you want to have loyalist yeah fine
Im saying there should be a dozen different factions
KZ3 was my introduction to online multiplayer shooters. I was so hooked that when the PSN outage happened I actually picked up a 360 and sampled the online offerings on that side (Halo Reach and Gears mainly). But this game will always be special to me for that reason.
I remember playing this split screen with my buddy when it came out- so much fun.
Yeah same was great release
so they have a guy name Stahl and a guy who looks like Stalin... and they are not the same guy? wtf!
To be honest, I always thought Vasari looked similar to Mussolini...
I would be shocked if that wasn't completely intentional. It works for what it is.
Don't forget about Killzone Mercenary
3:04
Their salute is a dab?!
Sign me UP😁
you might like mercenary. shotguns are sidearms in that one
Personally the best game in the series
Also hacking the vita so that the framerate's unlocked does wonders
@@Oversensitive-S-poster No disagreement there!
@@Oversensitive-S-poster didnt know that was possible
@@meisterproper8304 henkaku allowed the jailbreak while the vita graphics configurator allows you to both unlock the framerate and tweak the internal resolution
The only Killzone game I ever finished 👍
Hey I enjoy your content man, keep it up
Go back, finish the others. It's worth it, I swear.
Killzone 3 online was a big part of my childhood i remember playing multiplayer for hours while blasting system of a down. Thanks for making this man.
5:23 am here and I need to sleep cause I work in couple hours and you upload video. Your damn right I ignore my need to sleep to watch the video
Its time to review HAZE - The True Halo Killer
More like the worst ps3 game ever made. It had so much hype and it was such a disappointment
@@danielmaxfield4368 having actually played and beaten that game. You're entirely wrong. It's not even remotely close to being the worst anything.
Pffff... I liked it.
lol thanks for the laughs. i needed that
Halo killer? Christ, I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard! That piece of shit HAZE, Haaaahaaaaaa!
10:42 I played and beat Killzone 2 and then immediately put Killzone 3 in so I was already ready to shoot something. It was the controls I had to get use to. They are night and day.
So, the difficulty spike is like this because of the focus on COOP. You know...like the damage gets buffed because of the presence of the other player but in this case was not thought out that much. That's why this game is so frustating on harder difficulties
What's so mind boggling is that they only had splitscreen coop with no option to play with a friend online.
@@TACADD And also...Let's remember that IF there was COOP online since the beginning would be taken down along with the Multiplayer!
The sequences of sawblade vehicle and the space ship felt absolute hell in either SP or COOP, now I forget, on the highest difficulty. I just remember the huuuuge difference of time and trials it took me; but I forgot which one was harder. Mechasuit section was also a lil tricky but the other two especially the sawblade car hoooooly shit
@@MrRowan13 The last QTE section on the Elite difficulty..took me Three retries ...THREE RETRIES! Nowdays, i play this game on Trooper(normal), and i'm not afraid to say it
12:58 was Guerilla Games best comedy scene.
*Sev drifts into a stop at the edge of a cliff*
Sev: "Yeah!!"
Rico: "Hell yeah"
..... *Vehicle drops down cliff anyway*
Killzone 3 was absolutely gorgeous. Would love a 4k remake on next gen for the series. Damn
Notification squad checking in. You're the man, Gman.
He’s always the man, pal. 👍
Minor complaint but I always wondered what happened to Natko from 2. He’s gone in 3. Didn’t like how abrupt the ending was either. Still I enjoyed the campaign of 3 and the added variety with the various vehicle segments.
Natko appears in Killzone 3 as the second-player character in the split-screen co-op campaign. In the Jungle mission in co-op Natko is referred to as "Sergeant Natko", a promotion from his previous rank of Corporal. He is not apparent in any cutscenes in either single player or co-op, and is only mentioned during co-op gameplay when needing medical assistance.
These graphics were so advanced back in the day and they still are.
Imagine this on unreal engine
Only an Australian could casually say they knew what tarantula legs look like with any degree of believability.
Guerrilla Games has an unappreciated talent for making you care about the enemies. Even Horizon had believable villians throughout the other tribes.
The visuals remind me of Black on the PS2 - those muted tones and strong shadows/blacks.
Black needs a remaster or remake. That game was badass. 👌
"Dusty old space nazis" I don't know why that sounds so funny. Probs because he said it while they were clapping with their glorious facial hair. 🤣
The only gaming TH-camr who has made me go google fetal alcohol syndrome just to fully understand the review
"There will be no QUARTER!" why hasn't this line been turned into a meme?
i never woke up from a deep sleep so fucking fast
I think Killzone 3 actually improved Rico's character in a lot of ways. While I won't deny that the events of the game were directly his fault, there were a few scenes where he realized it and decided to make up for it.
For example, when Jammer sent out an SOS, Rico was the first one to come to her rescue. He not only saved her, but several other ISA soldiers, and even became their leader.
Rico later rescued Sev and Narville from being executed by Stahl, and helped destroy the giant petrusite tower that trapped their whole battalion.
So what I'm basically saying is, I really think Rico's a better character than most people give him credit for. It's just in KZ2 where he was horrible.
I think a lot of this game's flaws stem from a desire to compete with CODs gameplay, when really they should have stuck to their guns and made their own game. It is beautiful though and after watching this review I think I'll give it another blast through. Glad to see you giving this series some love dude.
Crazy this game looks like a PS4 game it was ahead of its time. This was my favorite kill zone game.. I still hope they make more kill zone games I enjoyed all of them.
I think I know why Helghans are interesting (beside the look and design). Through whole Killzone series we see everything mostly from ISA perspective. Also ISA is basically USA in this universe so most people know what is going on here. However we don't know much about Helghans and what is going on behind the scene (till Killzone 3). Also it looks like they are based on totalitarian regime like USSR (leader died so high ranked members start fight for power). This is something that people don't know much and don't see very often.
Man i had many memories of this as a kid, especially the tutorial... also it was my low cost TF2
Changed your name to "GManLives" eh? I remember seeing the recommendation in one of your TH-cam posts. Thanks for the review, never got the chance to play the KillZone series but it does look fun
At this stage I think that the best think Guerilla can do to revive the KZ brand is to drop Mercenaries 2, but just for the PS4.
Even in 2023 this game rendering looks AWESOME. They could "remaster" it by just upscaling textures, resolution and the polygon count .
3:18 Shooting on consoles in a nutshell. That bullet magnetism is hilarious. Shoot nowhere close to your enemy, he still dies.
Generally, i agree with most of the criticisms, however, K3 easily has the best controls of the series which, coming from playing PC shooters, is a major plus.
Still though, i'd be a happy sonny jim if Sony made a remaster of the whole series. One can dream
The whole series ported to PC would be also equally awesome
Too bad Sony doesnt play in that Ballpark...
...But who knows, amirite?
(Didn't think Halo would be ported to PC, for example, and...well...
...Lets just say the idea of blazing through 1-3 & Reach with Mouse and Keyboard, ((My Bread and Butter for FPS')), something inside me tingles with happiness.)
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster I have a feeling that it would be released in the Epic Store like other PS3 exclusives.
It'd be interesting to see a video on Killzone: Mercenary, but getting a Vita, the game, and figuring out a way to record it may be a bit of a pain in the ass for just one video.
Can you please do a vid on the old Tribes series. It was such a great game.
This worth playing in 2019?I just finished killzone 2.
Yes. One of the best looking games of that generation, and a top 10 shooter for sure.
@@yhckelly you must be playing some REALLY bad games
@@alexradice8163 no playing a good game
i always sang "G G G G UNIT" but with man instead but now im so lost
Technically you can have a rifle and shotgun, since of the pistols you can have one is a 3 barrelled shotgun pistol
Cool
Only 90s kids will remember gggmanlives
watching you struggle with the sixaxis controls is hilarious
Why tf did you change your name m8
I dunno, sounds more simply Cathy to say for me so I don’t have any complains
Kangaroo
@@MoonMinHo no
@Damsen i personally think gggmanlives was better
@@MoopMoopRS gmanlives is definitely better, always thought the added g's were a bit unnecessary
Love the name change, sonny jim.
I don’t mind the dropping of G’s, it is your appearance to change as you will and I’ll support whatever you think is best for you and your channel. Thanks for great reviews with my coffee each morning
The main purpose of the shooting gallery was because they added motion controls to the game after sony released that God awful light gun adapter. I have that thing in storage somewhere
I honestly always said ggmanlives. Forgot the 3rd g half the time so I welcome this change
I'm a physician who has loved gaming since my Atari 5200. I feel guilty that I burst out laughing when you said the daughter looked like she had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. In a couple of ways, you're right... SMH
The full potential of the cell broadband engine, is shown in this title
I kinda like how, Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway did "health", instead of having health you have a suppression effect that gets worse until you take a hit and die, it works like regen health in that it builds up and gets worse while under fire and goes away in cover, but also varies depending on the situation, ie if you're running from cover to cover under fire from more distant enemies you may get hit after 5-10 seconds in the open, but if you walk into a room and an enemy fires from like 4 feet away, you're dead almost instantly cause they hit you in 1 or 2 shots, I actually turn the "effect" off so I have less of an idea when I'll get hit, for mah imershun XD
I remember playing the demo with my cousin back when I was a little lad. Good times
Helghan dabbing at 3:04. lmao
You changed your channel name ? I never had problems with the old name, I always said it GG Gman you know like good game Gman.
I have this and Killzone 2 for PS3 but haven´t played them yet.
I booted this game up while testing a PS3/controller I'm refurbing. Even on a 120 monitor I'm astounded how good this game still looks.
This was the first FPS gane I ever played, and the tutorial was really useful
Fucking love the Tourettes Guys sound clips you throw in here and there. Shits great.
Great review, always enjoyed the killzone series.
Any chance you could do a review of the 2005 Ps2 FPS Cold winter? Very underrated game
I'm still a big fan of KZ3. Easily one of my most played shooters to date. I actually got KZ2 around a month before KZ3 came out so i could be clued in on the story, and got right to the sequel was pretty fun. I look forward to it one day coming to PC. Or a good emulator with all the DLC at least xD.
I'll keep calling you Gggmanlives, you can't stop me.
Fun fact: this game came out the same day as Bulletstorm.
It also came out the same day as LittleBigPlanet 2 I think because I bought both games at the same time. I bought a little big planet for my son and KZ3 was for me of course.
dude...all i want is a hd 60fps remaster of killzone 1, 2 and 3. id buy that shit in a second
I feel like your account name makes more sense now. And good review as always :)
Damn GManlives sorry to hear about RDR 2 bricking your PS4, hope this isn't Rockstar screwing with you for not reviewing RDR 2.
Why would Rockstar want to brick Gman's PS4 for not reviewing _Red Dead Redemption 2_ ? If anything, it's more like EA's doing after he gave _Anthem_ a bad review and moved onto a better game. XD
If I were designing a Single Player FPS, I would have two primary slots and a sidearm slot for a handgun, magnum, SMG or a sawed-off shotgun.
GG, Gman lives... The madman has done it. The Killzone games were always pretty good, not Halo killers or anything but way better than say... The Resistance games
Maybe the market would release all the ‘Halo Killers’ game titles gathered into one package just for fun LOL
Resistance 3 is really great tho
I dont agree, rezistance 3 was awesome
Resistance 2 co-op was the shiz bruh
It’s interesting that you went from liking Rico in the beginning, to then despising him. For me it was completely the other way around, and it feels like that was Guerrilla’s intention for KZ3. When he arrives to rescue Sev and then lead the rescue of Narville and the attack on Stahl’s ship - it’s almost as if he redeems himself for being a total child in the previous games.
I hated him the whole time haha
Nah Rico can go jump off a cliff for all I care. Self-centered man-child who blames others for everything. Hell, he blames Nervill for getting his people killed when Rico was the sole reason for the invasion failing, everyone got stuck on Helgan because he threw a tantrum because of Visari, who was *barely* insulting him. Rico is by far the worst character, at least before Shadowfall. I wish he died instead of Garza
I remember playing killzone 2 and 3. There was also a PSP game that I played quite often but I don't really remember the name, just that I really loved playing it
Hell yeah new vid. Nice to watch after work
It’s also a treat to watch in early morning after finishing breakfast
Bald Stalin looks like MMA legend Don Frye
Well played mate, love it
I remember returning my ps3 for the killzone 3 bundle such a fun game it was the first game I platniumed too
Yeah I find it funny that they made this "HP regen mechanic" to not break a game flow compared to classic medpack hunting.
But they forgot about "hiding behind a cover" part.
Give me 10 years!
Could you Do the "Lost Planet" series?
Killzone 3 had the option to play it with PlayStation Move controls. Those were essentially Sony's version of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and it basically controlled the same as a FPS on the Nintendo Wii.
I hope you will also play Killzone: Mercenary => the reason why I bought a PS Vita TV
BTW I enjoy every video of you!!! Great work!
That game was fun on both singleplayer and multiplayer
@@Matt-md5yt The only good fps on the vita
I wish killzone mercenary campaign was longer. Also the campaign is alot better then the first 4 games. since it shows the ISA and the helghast are not good guys and bad guys but it shows that the two factions are just doing orders
RIP GGGMAN :(
How was the kangaroo? Did she enjoy it?
Or he for all we know
i loved this game for the coop and was really disappointed from shadow falls because it has no split-screen coop
We need another killzone ... that looked like KZ2
I still love the dynamic feeling of Operations mode where kicking the most ass means your character stars in the cutscenes.
The Tutorial Mission, helped me out,cause this was the first fps shooter, I played in my life, I was 6 years old when I got this game with my Ps3,my older brothers just taught me how to move with the analog sticks
you should review the Resistance fall of man games
thank you for keeping your original review style :) nice to have a creator actually listen to their audience
Can't believe this series comes from the Netherlands. Can't remember any famous game that comes from my country. Too bad I never played them. Don't have a console
Why not review the vita fame next? It was released before shadow fall and was actually pretty good.
Wish they would reboot this game into a third person shooter with multiple worlds
well after playing shadowfall i really like the storytelling of killzone 3 a lot
The stealth section was one of the most memorable gaming experience for me
