Helghast - The Most Hated Good Guys That We Should Play As

Premier Gaming Network - Throughout all the Killzone titles we are prompted to take up arms against our very own brothers, the Helghast. Thought to be the most dangerous villains known to universe, the Helghast true ambitions were no more harmless than what was already occurring on Earth. Their untold back story is what truly makes them gaming most hated good guys.

i always wanted to play as Helghast they are badass
every time i play KZ2 or 3
i feel how much dangerous and smart those guys can get
i always take my time before i attack because the AI in those games is incredible
i would love to play as them from the beginning

jimbobwahey4165d ago

I think that allowing the player to play as the Helghast would be a tremendous waste, personally. The reason being that the Helghast are a brilliantly designed enemy and if you actually got to play as them, fighting the ISA would be terribly dull in comparison.

Of course, if they eliminated the ISA from the story completely and plunged the player into some kind of Helghast civil war then that would be great, but pulling them away from the spotlight to let the player take control of one would be a big waste in my opinion.

Sure you might think it would be cool, but who wants to go through a game fighting against the dull ISA all the time?

morganfell4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

I would love to see Killzone 4 with the player as the lead character - the daughter of Visari and leader of the Elite Shock Commando Troop Alpha - Visari's Fist, returning from the southern polar region to avenge her father. You begin on Helghan wiping out the invaders and then infiltrate deep onto Vekta to take out the C3I of Vektan command. No mercy, no prisoners, no regulations, and no master save death itself.

TheFreak4165d ago

@jimbobwahey

Couldn't agree more. Helghast civil war would be awesome.

bluetoto4165d ago

@jimbobwahey

agree with the civil war idea, would be awesome, disagree playing as the helghast would be dull.

After 3 games playing as the ISA it's getting really hard finishing the game playing as the A-holes. Many would'nt have any problems gunning down thousands of isa as we all do in the MP.

Not caring whether ANY of your teammates or commrades lives or dies is dull. listening to the same normal voices, looking at the same pale faces over and over is dull.

best part of kz3 was the little section you played in disguise and got a lil behind the door look at how they do things, even for just a bit. but maybe that's just me lol

G20WLY4165d ago

Bring on Killzone Mercenary on Vita! That way you can fight for the ISA or Helghast, so everyone will be happy! :)

i would love to have a 2 side single player story to see both sides struggles

Skips4165d ago

AAAAaaAAAHHH!

WE'RE TAKING FIRE!

WE NEED SUPPORT!

FRAG OUT!

Irishguy954165d ago

Had a little session of Killzone 2 multi there. Glad to see there are still people playing it, the last time I tried I couldn't get a game.

LackTrue4K4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

Hell ya!!! I was playing that game a year ago (miss it) Now im on Killzone 3 I'm on the last level playing on hardests difficulty. When I came back to play it. I dropped my jaw at how great the game still looks.

Solans Scott4165d ago

I agree. Would be great if it happened in killzone 4.

remanutd554165d ago

I think Killzone Mercenary will let us play as Isa and Helghast too

Nitrowolf24165d ago

eh I thought we were just Mercenaries? Not actually playing from their perspective, just taking jobs

remanutd554165d ago

I think i read an article about picking sides but im not sure.

TooTall194165d ago

Yeah you play as Mercs and do missions for both sides.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff21836d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken6d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff21836d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken6d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga5d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga5d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows906d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack5d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike6d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde6d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor6d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie6d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut856d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno6d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf6d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken6d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff21836d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH6d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE6d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH6d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner6d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel19896d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel19896d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long6d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole6d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long5d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb6d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX6d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro95d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7295d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_95d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga95d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2395d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200096d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin96d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole96d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix96d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198995d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Killzone wasn’t a Halo killer, but a PS5 remake could come close

The first Killzone game never met lofty expectations of dethroning Xbox’s Halo, but if any game needs a PS5 remake, this is the one.

Vits145d ago

I like Halo, but I don't think there is any need for a 'Halo Killer' at this point. If anything, the franchise is slowly undermining itself by making some of the dumbest mistakes possible. Infinite has finally reached a good point in terms of multiplayer, but it took an extra 2 years to get there. Meanwhile, the single-player experience is fine but rather mediocre when compared to the franchise peak.

That said, I would like to see the Killzone franchise back, if anything, to offer more variety to the PS5 exclusive catalog.

_SilverHawk_145d ago

sony should remaster all killzone games and bring back killzone multiplayer that is very similar to the style of killzone 2 multiplayer.

Cacabunga145d ago

Halo killed itself after Halo Reach.
Killzone went a little down in quality with SF on PS4 and I wish they kept them coming..

InUrFoxHole145d ago

??? Halo is doing great right now. I wouldn't mind seeing a kz2 mp rebirth

Cacabunga145d ago

Spawn grenade tactician class my favorite..

darthv72145d ago

I'd love a killzone trilogy, fully remastered on a single disc like they did with Uncharted. Maybe they could make it the full killzone saga including PSP and Vita games converted to console.

REDGUM145d ago

Yes please. Put me down for a copy, price irrelevant too. Loved allow those games in the franchise :)

Chocoburger145d ago

I've never liked the idea of a 'franchise killer', why can't both thrive, without one killing off the other? Its such a childish mentality.

That being said, if there ever was a true 'Halo killer', then it would have to be 343 Studios, and the Xbox division. They're doing a fine job killing off their own IP, apparently.

Profchaos145d ago

Cause console wars mostly drove the halo v killzone thing

Eonjay145d ago

And media co.panies like IGN drove the console wars for clicks.

Profchaos145d ago

@eonjay
Yeah and I still cringe super hard when IGN runs their next gen console watch segment 3 years into the consoles lifecycle we are approaching midgen likely by December and they are out there milking clicks like it's mid 2020 and were starved for information

ModsDoBetter145d ago

Halo doesn't need to be killed, they've done that themselves. It's a shell of its former self.

Zeref145d ago

And yet Halo is still here. Where is Killzone? Resistance? Haze? All the supposed "Halo Killers" are dead franchises 😂

DarXyde145d ago (Edited 145d ago )

"Dead" really isn't the right word for any of these franchises (except Haze). You're also calling these games dead for different reasons. oIMyersIo is saying a Halo is dead because it is not what it used to be and is saying it has gotten much worse. You are saying those franchises faded into obscurity and no one cares. I also find it funny that your first reaction is to name PlayStation franchises because you perceived their comment as a slight against Xbox. I hope you're at the very least part of their ambassador program...

Anyone that sees Killzone as dead is pretty myopic. A decade since their last Killzone, but they themselves have developed two full games since Shadow Fall. That's not many in context at all.

Resistance is a bit less clear. Insomniac is pretty tied up at the moment. Including all of their games on all platforms and ignoring Spider-Man Remastered, we're looking at 23 games since Resistance 3. That's alarmingly prolific and still no R4. My guess? In the modern era, a new Resistance is probably going to have to be a live service and Insomniac is not that studio.

I don't think it's dead though. Not at all.

Gaming4Life1981145d ago

Halo infinite is still the best exclusive fps and is doing great but you think it's dead lol. Its also one of the top fps games out here so i dont get where your coming from. Just because you don't play it does not mean it's dead or dying.

I liked killzone 1 & 2 and I think Sony should bring it back along with resistance cause they are in need of more variety in their first party lineup. Sony & MS are sitting on some great franchises that need a revival.

ModsDoBetter145d ago

"Just because you don't play it"

And there your argument was derailed.
Through making such an assumption, you have only served to show that your response is that of a fanboy and any criticism of your beloved franchises is met with speculation in order to downplay any counter argument.

As a matter of fact, as many in team blue on this site will tell you, I often do defend Xbox just as much as I defend PS, so for you to make such a silly comment is laughable.

I have played plenty of Halo: Infinite - on Series S, Series X and PC via Steam. To say the game comes anywhere near the franchise greats such as Combat Evolved and Halo 2 is delusional. The franchise is a shell of its former self and that is a FACT.

It absolutely isn't the best fps exclusive but at this point we're arguing over preferences which is pointlessly subjective.

Where I do agree is that a Resistance comeback would be great for Sony.

DrDoomer145d ago

I'd take Killzone and Resistance over Halo any day.
