Killzone Trilogy Collection (PS3) by Ps3. Killzone 3 again gives us yet more graphical improvements and the gameplay is just as good/satisfying as part 2, my only gripe with the 3rd instalment was the number of vehicular type levels which seemed to be more numerous in this game, almost as if the developers were starting to run out of ideas.

Contents.Plot Killzone takes place in a fictional world set in the year 2357. After nuclear war rendered much of the in 2055, world governments formed an international order known as the United Colonial Nations. Partnering with private firms, the UCN moved to establish in, a system occupied by two planets: Vekta, a rich Earth-like world (named after the CEO of the mining conglomerate Helghan, Philip Vekta), and Helghan, a barren wasteland named after the same company.
The Helghan Corporation sought to buy ownership of Vekta as well, but when the UCN imposed sanctions against its unfair business practices, a war broke out (known as the First Extrasolar War), which led to the ISA, the military arm of the UCN, driving the company out of Vekta. In response, the exiled colonists established their own civilization on Helghan, built on the principles of. The harsh environment and atmosphere killed many Helghans, forcing the survivors to use respirators and air tanks just to breathe. Eventually, the population, now known as the Helghast, mutated into pale-skinned hairless humanoids with increased strength, stamina, and intelligence. Violently xenophobic and convinced of their superiority, the Helghan consider humans to be beneath them, and dream of one day reconquering Vekta and expanding their empire to Earth and the neighboring star systems.Story Scolar Visari, emperor of Helghan, sends the Helghast Third Army to launch a secret invasion of Vekta.
Alerted to the attack, the ISA attempt to prevent it with their SD (Solar Defense) network, but are unable to activate it in time to stop the invaders. With the element of surprise on their side, the Helghast quickly overwhelm the unprepared ISA ground forces and capture several strategic locations, including ISA Central Command.While taking part in an offensive to slow the Helghast assault, Captain Jan Templar, a veteran ISA officer, is summoned to a meeting by his mentor and close friend, General Bradley Vaughton.
Vaughton discloses that the ISA has requested assistance from the UCN and are working to restore the defense network. He also reveals that Colonel Gregor Hakha, a half-Helghan intelligence officer, had, on his orders, infiltrated the inner circle of Third Army commander General Joseph Lente, only to vanish while traveling to an extraction point in Vekta's slums. As Hakha is the only individual with knowledge of how the invasion bypassed SD, he assigns Jan to locate him. After fighting his way through the Helghast occupying the exterior of Central Command, Jan runs into Luger, a former comrade who is now working with an elite ISA division known as the Shadow Marshals. He also recruits the services of Ricardo Velasquez, an ISA gunner seeking revenge for the massacre of his entire platoon.After rescuing Hakha, the team discovers that General Stuart Adams, the overseer for SD, is secretly working for Lente.
He murders Vaughton and takes control of the system, planning to use it to destroy the relief fleet headed to Vekta. Under Jan's leadership, the team destroys several Helghast bases and infrastructure projects, eventually intercepting and killing Lente when he tries to deal with them personally. Adams retreats to the SD control center and tries to reason with the group, explaining that the Helghast will stop at nothing to reclaim Vekta, regardless of how many lives they lose. Nevertheless, the team disables the station and escapes just as the fleet destroys it, killing Adams.
Jan and Luger speculate about what the future holds, realizing that the real war is far from over.Voice cast. Kal Weber as Captain Jan Templar.

Product InformationFor the first time on the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), own all three installments (Killzone, Killzone 2, and Killzone 3) of the acclaimed first-person shooter (FPS) Killzone Trilogy in one special edition collection pack. Remastered in high-definition to support up to 720p resolution, Killzone Trilogy also supports trophies. Play against friends or bots in split screen or solo mode, or go online to play larger multiplayer games. Especially popular among fans of the series’ more whimsical side, multiplayer mini-games include Kartzone, which challenges players to race against each other from checkpoint to checkpoint.
Also enjoy a range of co-operative campaigns, challenges, and deathmatch modes, including vehicle missions around large open-world maps. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 in November 2004 and now for the PS3, the first of the three games, Killzone, was set during the 24th century at a time of planetary warfare and imperial expansion, pitting humans against the Helghast. The game gives players a choice between four playable characters, each of whom affects the single-player gameplay. Killzone also supports team-based and competitive multiplayer for up to 16 players.
An in-game armory of more than 27 weapons draws inspiration from modern weaponry to project future incarnations, including grenades, stationary turret-style guns, and a range of carried weapons. The game also comprises more than 11 environments with superb attention to detail, all presented with a visual style emphasizing the gritty conditions of war. Killzone 2, the first in the series to be released for the PlayStation 3, has also been praised for its cinematic attention to detail and so-called Hollywood Realism. The game introduced a number of new gameplay features, including the lean and peek ability, which allows players to take cover while firing at enemies, and the ability to commandeer vehicles. The multiplayer mode features optional bots for offline play in skirmish mode. These can be tweaked to a difficulty that suits the player from a choice of four AI settings. Online, players can take advantage of the clan system to compete for Valor Points and bet on tournaments.
Up to 32 players can play online at once, grouped into squads of up to four players each as desired, and combining to form factions of eight. Available classes are Rifleman, Medic, Engineer, Tactician, Assault, Saboteur, and Scout, each of which has unique abilities, advantages, and equipment suitability.
Killzone 3, another of the series’ releases for the PS3, offered three multiplayer-supported modes of gameplay: Guerrilla Warfare (team deathmatch for up to 16 players), Warzone (objective-based games for up to 24 players), and Operations. In Operations, up to 16 players are challenged to either defend as Helghast or attack as the ISA, in a cinematic gaming experience that includes cut scenes. Players can also play offline in split-screen co-operative mode for two players or against bots. A number of changes to the gameplay since Killzone 2 make Killzone 3 a standout installment to the franchise. Among the most popular additions is that of the jet pack, originally seen only in the PlayStation Portable (PSP) game, Killzone: Liberation. Close combat brings with it the opportunity to string melee attacks together to form combos, and a new weapon called the WASP can fire multiple rockets at once.
This is a great package for a great series.I purchased the Killzone trilogy for PS3 because I wanted to play the first 3 Killzone games before Killzone: Shadow Fall launches for PS4. I think the best part about having this package is that you get the first Killzone game remastered in 720P resolution. It makes a huge difference when compared to playing Killzone using the original PS2 version. I play my games on a big screen HDTV, and the difference between the standard def version and the HD version is like night and day.
If I could change something about this product, I would include a physical copy of the 3 game manuals. They do include a digital copy of them on disc 1, but I would have liked to see them included in physical form. I already owned all 3 games (original versions) before I bought this trilogy. The updated HD version of the first Killzone is by itself worth the price of this package. Of course, if you don't have these games already, this trilogy is the obvious choice compared to purchasing these games separately. This is a great product, and I would definitely purchase it if given the choice again. Highly recommended.
