Well considering Halo 3 beta/demo is going to potentially be the most downloaded item ever to do with Xbox and be posted on the top of every gaming website in the universe, I'd say Sony must feel pretty confident that their product can stand up to the quality and challenge that is Halo.

And well done to them too.

Makes perfect sense what you're saying to me. Might not be the best comparison, but its like if 2k put all pro football out the same day as Madden. Why try to battle a giant head on? I dont care how good killzone looks or plays, when the Halo 3 beta drops all eyes will be on it. If Sony were smart they'd release the killzone demo before the Halo beta.

Exactly. If anyone saw how much coverage that 15 second commercial got then you better believe the beta is going to be crazy. They had articles talking about the x button alone, the killzone developers don't want any part of that.

It doesn't matter how strong they think it is, if it barely gets any attention then it won't do them any good.

But if it's quality, it'll get recognized... It's not like it's some game like Viewtiful Joe, or something. This is Sony's baby, and if it's good they'll probably promote the heck out of it. I know you're gonna say it doesn't matter, but even making a dent in Halo's hype is a huge step.

But why waste money and time trying to go against Halo when they can have a day where all the coverage is on them? If this is really their baby as you say it doesn't make sense for them to not try to maximize coverage of the game.

Exactly. Why not maximize the attention for a game thats its baby? Its like if Rockstar is like lets put up a GTA demo to combat the halo beta. That wouldnt make sense either but at least gta has that kind of status. Killzone's demo, if there is 1 indeed coming, needs to hit the media before Halo's beta. Period.

That's why you never see the huge games all releasing major stories, demos or whatever on the same day.

GDC 2007: Sony Showed Us Killzone
It didn't say 'Killzone 2' so was it really?

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157798

It wasn't called 'Killzone 2,' it was just called 'Killzone' and the video footage appeared to be artifacted somehow. It wasn't the clear, crisp HD footage Harrison's presentation had been populated with -- it was almost like an afterthought. It didn't look as good as the fake-footage we saw at E3 2005, but it didn't look bad, either. It was just a half-hearted show of particle effects, bullets ripping through warehouses, tearing apart kitchens and showcasing the rag doll physics in the Killzone engine. If the footage ever surfaces, it'll likely be treated as an 'engine' demonstration, but the first-person perspective, gunplay and action clearly show gameplay in some state.

Dang, didn't know this thread got that crazy over the Killzone joint. Good find Flawless.

The U.K. Official Playstation Magazine will exclusively have the first in-game screens.

http://www.psu.com/node/8841

It's due out March 30. In case people were wondering why it's not in the U.S. OPM, that's because..

..there isn't an American Official Playstation Magazine anymore. Thanks for the EGM extension, though, former OPM!

I still don't know why everyone is so hyped over KZ 2?

The first one was pretty lame as it tried to compete with Halo 2 and didn't even come close.

Seriously. People got excited over a trailer that was ultimately proved to be fake. The same websites that were hyping the game after the fake trailer were killing it in reviews. They haven't even talked about the actual game, just the graphics.

Killzone 2-related pre-E3 event scheduled for July 10th; Event Invites Sent to 150 members of media

For a game that could easily be a bust, Guerilla Games & Sony has been somewhat upfront with this game. I'm curious to see how this game turns out.
