Poll Killzone or Resistance: The best PS FPS series? (48 votes)

Killzone 52%
Resistance 48%

It's the age old debate. If you look at the communities for both the base is so divided that you could say most "die hard" Resistance fans will never like Killzone and vice versa (more so the former though.)

Now which of the two Playstation flagship FPS series do you think is better?

I'm going with Resistance on this one, although I don't consider either series to anywhere near the best the genre has to offer.

They are both just ok shooters, imo they are about on par but KZ seems to be the favorite each time because of the graphics.

Killzone was actually pretty fun, didn't like it at first but it grew on me... anyhow, despite Killzone's excellence, when up against Resistance Killzone wins by default since Resistance was pure shit. The only thing Resistance has going for it is exclusivity, therefore cows will love it unconditionally, if it had been multiplatform it'd have been as forgotten as Turning Point: Fall of Liberty or Legendary or Time Shift. Plus it also has that is was a launch game going for it, kind of the default one to get, and to prevent Sony blowing up on the launchpad at launch critics and gamers had to feign satisfaction, make false equating like saying it's the PS3's Gears equal. The atmosphere might have helped the PS3 at launch but it had repercutions, for instance they made two more shitty Resistance games because the false praise left no room for giving them the proper critiques they needed to improve.

Both aren't that great. Sony really needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with one great new fps franchise. Scrap Killzone completely. Resistance is already dead.

Resistance > Killzone

Resistance has much better gameplay than Killzone while the latter only has nice graphics and that's it.

Resistance was utter crap, couldn't stand that franchise. The gameplay reminded me too much of Halo.. KZ2 is the peak of PS FPS, and it's pretty damn awesome.

The pinnacle of each franchise was KZ2 and R3

R3 is a highly underrated FPS and my pick

I didn't like any of the Resistance games at all. Aside from the terrible original game, all Killzones have been extremely entertaining both online and off. And Mercenaries is the best handheld shooter ever made in my opinion... the stealth is tremendous.

Wow, hard to choose considering both are amazing series. I guess I'll go with KZ, because Resistance 3 left a bad taste in my mouth while KZ3 was pure gold.

Going by the strongest titles in their respective series, Resistance 3 destroys Killzone 3.

It's a shame that the first two games really screwed over the third Resistance. Excellent game.

didnt care to play R1 or KZ1

Love KZ2

Really enjoyed and had fun with R2

Really like KZ3 but it wasnt doing much new from KZ2, but still great time.

R3 was amazing, but the online was weak....

All of this means, that for me I loved KZ and R equally. I could never pick one over the other (but Resistance is finished and I've yet to play KZ:SF)

Both are about average, still need to play Resistance 3. I'd probably give the edge to Killzone though.

I like both series and would love to eventually love to Resistance on PS4 if the series isn't dead after Burning Skies. That being said, if I had to choose i'd go with Killzone.

RFOM was epic at the time and definitely my favorite in the Resistance series. R2 had shitty campaign and story but the online co-op mode was stellar. Resistance 3 was just mediocre.....*vomits*. What a piece of trash R3 was, I quickly sold my copy and it's now one of the two games I've ever sold back to gamestop after purchasing (COD3 was the other one).

I never played KZ1, I started the KZ series with KZ2. KZ2 was glorious, epic campaign and even more epic MP. So many fun times were had, I sunk more time into KZ2's MP than any other FPS I own. KZ3 was great too for the MP even though it wasn't as good as KZ2 due to some baffling design choices and balancing issues. The cmapaign in KZ3 was rubbish too but at least the MP was addicting. I like the cmapaign in KZSF better than all the other KZ games right now. My only issue is the beginning of Chapter 7 and some of the forced stealth sections which can get pretty boring. The actiony bits of KZSF are better paced in my opinion, I just wish some of the enemies didn't go down so quickly when you get headshots on them. The MP feels just as glorious as KZ2 IMO, and with the inclusion of online co-op mode it may even surpass KZ2.

TLDR: KZ series by far!

Personally I think that Resistance could have worked if Insomniac focused more on it instead of half-way so they can put out a yearly RandC spin-off. The series has a lot more open potential, while Killzone was turning into future call of duty. But at the end of the day, they did not, Killzone is still going. However, I only now give Killzone the lead because of SF.

Man, I don't care what anyone says. I loved the first Resistance. After that, they tried to make a combination of Halo and Cod and it just turned into a mess. I hate Killzone. I really wish Sony would just put all of their resources together and create a beast of an FPS

^They should combine the styles of Killzone 2 and Resistance one a 3 together. That way it has its own identity and it would be a wonderful franchise.

This, shooting is more satisfying and the cover system is much better in Resistance.

All FPS are terrible in general, especially Halo. Out of those two though I enjoyed Killzone the most.

TPS is the superior shooter genre and Vanquish is the king of them all

Resistance mainly because of R3. The campaign was great, but I wished they would have put more work on the MP. I also enjoyed R:FOM when it first came out.

As for Killzone, I found their campaigns boring, but I did like KZ2's multiplayer.

I've only played part of killzone 2 and most of resistance but I liked resistance way more. It was a pretty dated fps(even at the time) but it had some good ideas. I've had resistance 2 for years but never played it.

I was gonna say (and was gonna quote your post), even as a joke, I can't insult both franchises because one has Resistance 3. You should really play that game man, one of the best FPS campaigns of the last generation.

I think I stopped KZ2 due to other things in the backlog, but I remember enjoying Killzone 3 quite a bit. I quit Resistance FoM entirely and don't plan on playing 2.

Killzone 2 and 3 were probably the best "exclusive" shooters on PS3.

I couldn't stand resistance online, and I thought Resistance 2 was terrible. Resistance 3 had a good campaign, but that's about it. More terrible online.

However Resistance 2 did have an extra 8 player co-op mode, which was sort of cool at times. So I guess that earns it some bonus points. But they dropped that from Resistance 3. Overall I would say Killzone by far. This even holds true with the Vita games, Killzone (awesome) >>>>>>> Resistance (perfectly playable, but average at best).

I think I like the "concept" of Resistance more. But it was never really well executed on the campaign front. Although I did enjoy Resistance 3 the most. Unfortunately, from a multiplayer point of view. The franchise was garbage. They were grasping at CoD straws for the last one. Was it playable? Sure. But why would I want to?

I would like to see it rebooted. Put more into the campaign, forget the multiplayer. Too bad that will never happen.

All this hatred for both franchises sounds rather token. Words like "trash" and "garbage" are being thrown around indiscriminately as though the legitimacy of such labels is obvious.

Killzone 2 was a great game all story problems aside. I felt Killzone 3 was terrible though: the weapons, handling, art-style, and story all regressed a great deal. And Guerrilla never took advantage of the story possibilities that could have been--even now with SF.

Resistance has been good the whole way through though. The second was a tad regressive since it tried to emulate Modern Warfare and disregard many of the strengths of the first...But still good. And the third was amazing.

Killzone 2 has the best multiplayer between the two.

Resistance 3 has the best campaign between the two.

Neither of them are great, R3 is good, KZ2 is really good, but far from really competing with the genres all timers. Tiebreaker goes to Killzone. Because no matter how shitty Rico is, how neutered Killzone 3s mp is, how by the numbers shadowfall looks, no matter how bad Killzone 1 was, neither of the prequels or Shadowfall are the celebration of humdrum that was the Resistance prequels. Besides the best campaign between the bunch is still a by the numbers shooter, the saving grace is the weapons and the weapon upgrades. Killzone 2 legit had some awesome MP ideas, and was for all intents and purposes distinct for it.
