Announced last week, the Killzone Trilogy box set combines Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 with a high-definition PS3 remaster of the original Killzone. Today we take a closer look at Killzone HD, and the challenging new trophy set that comes with it.
Originally released for PlayStation 2 in 2004, Killzone tells the story of Jan Templar, an ISA Captain whose home planet comes under attack from a Helghast invasion army. Together with a hot-headed sergeant named Rico, a deadly Shadow Marshal known as Luger, and the half-human, half-Helghast spy Hakha, Templar must attempt to reactivate the Orbital Defense Platform and drive the invading forces from his planet Vekta.
This rip-roaring introduction to the Killzone universe has been remastered in HD for inclusion with the Killzone Trilogy bundle. Featuring a single-player campaign with four playable characters and an offline multiplayer mode against AI opponents, Killzone HD has received a thorough audiovisual overhaul: the game boasts 720p graphics at a steady 30fps, with MSAA filtering, sharper textures and higher quality sound effects. But don’t take our word for it – check out these crisp HD screenshots:
In addition to these improvements, Killzone HD has been enhanced with a full set of trophies. The trophy list is detailed below (beware of spoilers if you’ve never played the original Killzone).

meh…i played the original on ps2 and found it incredibly boring. i’ll pass.
Awesome news sony. I loved this game so much. I think that im still better off getting the Killzone collection. So imma stick with that. Great news in any case.
let me guess: no PS Move support for Kilzone HD …
Correct. We have adapted and tweaked the DualShock controls so they’re more in line with recent Killzone titles, however.
