Re: Killzone 2.....(Real in Game Footage)

yeah me to...very underated game....though i dunno why the soldiers will go into battle without any type of head protection...kind of a strange trend since GoW did the same thing....

It is a very underated game which is a shame, I really enjoyed the war torn environments/story.

Sony to counter the Halo 3 beta by releasing Killzone 2 demo before it?

Wow that's a great idea. "You know what we should do to counter that Halo 3 beta? Release a demo of a game that nobody played when it first came out and the only reason people care about it now was because of a cgi video".

Classic!! Really is setting them up to ruin that franchise. Should release it when it doesn't have to compare to whatever is on the XBOX 360.

Hey no offence takin, but I'm only going to get the 360, and thats it. I will pass on the PS3, I like both company's, but I really like the 360 better. I don'y have money to be switching back and forth like I used to do the the xbox/ps2. I'm on the record, I will only be getting the 360, and that all.

Man FF, you're the best.

They must have confidence in the game. I'm sure people wouldn't have predicted GTA3 to be as big as it was after GTA2, right?

Some sequels can overshadow their predecessors..

Head gear doesn't offer too much protection. Ask Carmine...oh wait....

From my understanding, it sold over a million, and is one of the PS2 hits. I didn't play the game, but I hear it was a big seller, go figure. Killzone liberation on the PSP is a pretty good game.

I thought it was universally panned.

Ok but if I was trying to counter one of the biggest game franchises ever, I wouldn't pick a game like killzone 2 to try to draw attention from it.

It was, but it sold for some reason. Every review trashed it if I remember. I never owned it but played it and rented it, thought it was a terrible game. Sony built it up at the time as the Halo 1 killer game. It failed miserably, I suspect 2 will fail as well. Sony just can't market this game well IMO. From the Halo 1 talk with Killzone 1, to the fake trailer 2 years ago. The series is a constant mess.

Sony's failure is in marketing this game as a Halo killer when it is not.

What? Isn't this Sony's answer to Halo? You don't make much sense.

As candyman said above you, sony marketing the game as a "halo killer" is its failure. No one who owns a 360 is going to care that a killzone demo is released when the Halo beta is released. Releasing it anywhere near the day the beta comes out will do nothing but bury it under the hype.

Sony never marketed this game as a Halo killer, that was OPM and IGN.
