"Visari loses his first battle but gets the band back together to invade Vekta"
No. Vekta was the Helghan homeworld, which was extremely prosperous as an important interstellar trade hub. The "First Interstellar War" was old nations on earth got jealous of the Helghan's success and basically kicked them off their own planet so they could have the wealth for themselves, and exiled them to a shitty planet full of noxious fumes in the same system. Generations later, the bitterness and resentment towards the ISA lets Visari seize control as a fascist dictator by promising the Helghans they'd get their homeworld Vekta back.
The proceeding games compound the crimes of the ISA by invading Helghan and then genociding their entire population and rendering their world uninhabitable. In killzone, you're arguably playing as the bad guys.

Across the solar system? Vekta and Helghahn are in the Alpha Centauri star system.

[QuintusLiviusPriscus]

Plot twist: The ISA are the bad guys.


(look it up)

[ludicer]

A prequel where you play as the Helghast fighting the ISA needs to happen!

[Buckster]

>"Visari gives himself up."

Oh really? Because I quite very clearly remember Visari saying loud and clearly,

"We, will choke the streets with our DEAD before we surrender. Your masters will BEG me to restore order!! YOU HAVE NOT WON!!! AND YOU WILL NEVER-!!!"

before Rico shot him. It's already bad enough you take bribes from big name game companies to give shitty games good scores. But at least have the common decency to play them, good god.

[madhippy]

This was more humorous but a lot less informative than usual.

Stick with the usual.

They skipped over Killzone liberation too

[ashleysmith]

ISA are actually the bad guys
Vekta was a Helghast word but ISA took it so the Helghast had to settle for Helghan

[aerohk]

Killzone 1 and 2 in 5 Minutes, not Killzone in 5 Minutes.

[cyberpunk]

this guy knows shit about the killzone's story

[werewolftrooper]

I was watching a killzone mercenary walkthrough and the ISA said that the Helghast were rebels kicked off of Vekta and 90% of things you said about the Helghast were wrong

[OrganicAnonymous]

Am I the only one who noticed they said "Vetka" Instead of "Vekta"? That threw me off haha

[jakmullar]

I been playing kz, kz2, kz3 for 4 years now. still the best game btw am #1 big fan of kz

[PanosKates]

IGN thi video has so many mistakes have you ever EVER play the games.

[SrnityNow]

You ignored Killzone Liberation. Where the remainders of the Helghast forces on Vekta have regrouped and under the command of General Metrac is wreaking havoc in the southern continent. Not to mention the Helghast intentions to capture the ISA's nuclear warheads a critical part of the story in Killzone 2. Or the fact that Vekta was originally a Helghast colony.

Although it may have been a PSP game its still adds to the Killzone universe and should have been mentioned.

[scaryviking]

This is THE. SINGLE. WORST. story summary of the Killzone story I have ever heard.

IGN, were you just trying to be edgy and cool? I feel bad for people who are trying to get into the Killzone games, and are unfortunate enough to watch this, trying to understand the story.

[TrphyWhor]

For the people saying it's only 3:48, you can see that he said sort of just after he said kill zone in 5mins

[vegarosa]

What if sony released the original Killzone for PS4 with new graphics and all the bugs fixed? I would pay extra for that!

[El_Presidente_]

I'm here because I never looked up Killzone and Helldivers 2 now has a collab.

[justryan]

why does it say 5 minutes when its in 3 minutes???

[ronaldli]

No wonder Killzone is so unique and special and popular. It looks very cinematic and cool to me. like the cutscene camera view where a few guys base jumps together and circle their heads together in the camera view. etc.
